[ Marcello ]“Brother, you called me?”Massimo’s voice forced me to shift my attention from the file I was reading to my younger brother who was standing at the doorstep of my study room with folded hands.“Yes, please come inside. I need to speak with you.” I said inviting him inside.He walked into the room and took his seat in front of me. His face was neutral.“Massimo, do not get me wrong but I want to ask you a few questions and I want you to be honest with me. You know I hate lies and I want you to tell me everything that I ask you.” I said in a straightforward manner and his eyes finally looked at me.“Yes, brother. I’ll speak the truth.” He nodded his head. He looked confident.I took a deep breath. It was going to be hard for me as I had to pick my words carefully. I love my brother so much and I didn’t want to hurt him.“You don’t like Ella, do you?”His face stiffened as soon as this question came out of my mouth.“It’s not like that. She is a complete stranger to me and y

[ Ella ]I texted Marcello that I’d be late as I had to help in the café and he said he’d send someone to pick me. Around nine in the night, I was finally free since it was a Friday night, the café was packed with customers.I was waiting for Marcello’s men to pick me. The café was empty. My uncle and aunt were gone home. It was only Enzo and I inside the café. I checked the time impatiently. It was getting late. I couldn’t call Marcello as he told me that he’d be busy in a meeting with his mafia friends.“Ella, if someone isn’t coming to pick you, I can take you to our home. It’s been a very long time since we all sat together to have a meal and talk like a family.” Enzo said coming over to me.“Yeah, I am also thinking the same. If it’s too late, I won’t go.” I said and as I was about to go back into the janitor’s room, the front door opened someone unexpected walked inside.“Let’s go. I can’t wait here.” Massimo Romano said coldly.I was still in the shock that he came to pick me.“

[ Ella ]I was left stunned. Massimo kissed my forehead and the softness in his eyes was something I couldn’t imagine to find for. I felt like he is the same person who used to love me years ago. Suddenly, he was snapped out of his trance and he backed away. His face again turned hard.“Take her safely back home.” He said flatly to the bodyguards and the car sped up.I leaned back on the seat and everything came back like a flash. Life is unpredictable in our world. Soon we reached at the estate and I spotted Marcello pacing to and fro in the patio.I ran into his arms as soon as the car door was opened for me and hugged him tightly. I felt safe when his arms wrapped around me and he showered my hairs with kisses.“Hey, it’s alright. You are safe.” He whispered in my ear to comfort me but I cried and broke down into his arms.“They died in front of my eyes, Marcello. They died saving me.” I cried. I can’t help it. I was one to be blamed.He cupped my face and wiped my tears using his t

[ Ella ]“It was absolutely fun to bake with you, Ella. I wish I can bake those cupcakes as delicious as yours but you’re the best. Please, bake them for my boys in the future. Do not let them feel my absence when I won’t be around.” Mama said, behind her smile, I could see the sadness.I grabbed her hands and gave them a gentle squeeze.“Mama, you’re not going anywhere. Please, tell Marcello and Massimo. They deserve to know and we’ll find the best doctors for you. It’s not too late. We need you.” I insisted her. I was also very sad as she’s like a mother to me. We grew very close in a very short span of time.She shook her head, “I know you’re right. Sooner or later, I have to tell them but can’t you see how they’re busy in dealing with the enemies. They’ll be broken and I have lived my life to it’s fullest. I saw my sons growing up and turning into gentlemen. The last wish I have is to see you and Marcello getting married so I could die with peace and contentment.” She said with no

[ Ella ]The day went into boredom. I did some research on the international cuisine and read about different food cultures as I had plans for my future. I want to travel around the world to know closely about the food in different regions across the globe.Romano brothers were out for a long time. Mama was feeling tired, so she went into her room to get some rest on my insistence.“This life is boring. I don’t want to cook right now. Plants don’t need watering. I am not allowed to venture into certain areas in this big house. Marcello isn’t here, the maids don’t talk much. I can’t even go to the café. God! I am bored.” I blabbered to myself.“I wonder why have you explore the library of this mansion yet. All the best, rare and unique collection of books on different subjects are available here.”Hearing Massimo’s voice, I turned around and found him leaning on the doorframe. My brows knitted together seeing him. The man who despises my bare sight, he’s being all nice to me all of a su
