"You are now Mrs El Ricci, so you must act accordingly" He says coldly. "I've never tolerated mistakes, and you are no exception." A shiver ran through me as he stares into my eyes.
I look down not wanting to meet his piercing eyes and nod. He silen...
The plane ride was slightly awkward as we both kissed but still don't know who we were to each other. So I slept to get rid of the tension.
Once the plane landed Lorenzo woke me up. I quickly looked on my camera on my phone to make sure I looked fine and adjusted some of my lipstick.
I get up and Lorenzo holds my hand as we walk down the stairs into our car.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"We'll go home first since you should rest." He said and I nodded.
We reached another big mansion which amazed me. How many homes does he have? I thought.
"This was my grandparents house. My parent's never liked Italy so they gave it to me." He said.
"Your grandparents were Italian?" I asked.
"No, they were businessmen like me. So worked abroad sometimes." He said and It made sense.
We both got out of the car and walked in, he showed me a few places in the mansion and them we entered our room.
"We should sleep, It's late and we have work tomorrow." He said and I nodded.
I did my night routine and changed clothes into a crop top and shorts. When I came out of the bathroom Lorenzo was in bed shirtless as usual.
I've seen him shirtless so many times but I still can't get used to it.
"I won't bite, you can lie down." Lorenzo chuckles making me mentally slap myself for standing there frozen while thinking.
I lay down away from Lorenzo looking at the ceiling. He turns his body towards me looking at me, I look over at him and we make eye contact.
"It will be hard for you but we are invited Mr De Luca's wedding tomorrow." He said making my heart drop.
"We will have to see him and you must act like you don't know him." He says seriously.
"His death won't be so soon. So you must be patient." He says and I nod in agreement.
How will I see my dad's murderer and act normal? Before I could think any more Lorenzo's speaks.
"Don't think about it, just sleep now. We can handle it together." He says holding my hand.
His touch made me forget all my worries as if they never existed. We both closed out eyes and fell asleep in due time.

Next Morning
I was getting ready for Mr De Luca's wedding. Lorenzo told me to try to dress differently then I did the day we met. Even though he didn't see me we never know. I decided to wear a long dress style I have never wore before.

I did heavy makeup which I don't usually do since I like the natural look. Then did my hair in a simple middle parting, leaving it down after straightening it.

I was finished getting ready and Lorenzo look me up and down making me feel insecure.
"I love your body." He said and he seemed as shocked as I did. As if he said it without realising.
"Sorry, I mean you look amazing." He said nervous.
"I'll now know that if you think I look amazing it's because my body looks good." I said smirking.
I finally got my revenge for all the teasing he has been doing to me.
He starts walking towards me "Sometimes action speak louder than words. I can show you when your body looks good, If you want." He said whispering the last part in ear as his hand rests on my waist.
Butterflies erupted all over my body but I wouldn't let him win this time.
"Maybe next time" I said making him shocked yet pleased.
"My butterfly isn't so shy anymore is she?" He questions.
"Well, I learnt from you." I said as we both seemed to get lost in each other's eyes.
We then heard the car horn "Let's go" Lorenzo said, holding my hand.
His touching is driving me mad. It makes me forget all the worries in the world.
We sat it the car and Lorenzo still held my hand since he knew I was worried about seeing De Luca.
We reach the building Mr De Luca's wedding will be held and we exit the car and walk towards it.
We enter the hall and the announcer announces our name as we enter and sit in her assignment tables. We seem to be just in time and almost everyone is here.
I see Mr De Luca standing at the end of the aisle and I hold Lorenzo's hand even tighter. He rubs my hand reassuring me.
The doors then open for the bride and my eyes widen in shock. Its Lilian!!
