"Well Luna had one." Rosetta offered with irritation. "Not on the fourth finger." He shrugged, picking up his pizza slice again. "You could have told me." Domenico repeated. He paused, "Fine. I'm sorry for not informing you." "Cool. You can now get out of my house." "What?" Marino chuckled in disbelief. "Out" Domenico got up, "Rosetta, never make promises with your body again. Both of you, out." "What! You forgave me!" "Out." He said with finality and walked away.*"He's unbelievable" Marino spat after Domenico shut the door to his room, "he never liked you yet he's getting so worked up because I got you and he didn't." "You never got me." Rosetta snarled. "Besides, I was only getting my payment. Did you tell him that as you spilled your life's mess to him?" He asked as he fixed his hard gaze on her. Rosetta rolled her eyes, getting to her feet. "You're the worst person I've ever met, Marino. You don't feel the least bit of remorse that you shamelessly slept with my good f

She chuckled. "I feel really bad to say this but I have to go home now. I have practicals very early tomorrow morning." "Oh... Living in hostel?""No.""Right. You never stayed in one."He gathered the rest of his snack back into its pack. "I'll drive you home.""Don't bother" He refused, already opening the car door, "I'll take a cab." "Come on, Nico, be my guest."She started the car, looking expectantly at him. She waited seconds before he got back in. "Good boy."*"You're resigning?" His manager stared incredulously at him, his resignation letter held loosely in his hand. "Yes sir." "Why?" "Bad working conditions and personal reasons sir. It's stated in the letter, sir." His manager snorted, flinging the letter at him. "And you think you can get a better job elsewhere with your qualifications? Don't play such jokes on me again. Get out, go back to work." Domenico picked up the fallen letter and replaced it on the desk. "With all due respect, sir, I'm making no joke. I

"Who's trying to kill you?" He asked after they broke apart."I don't know," she shrugged, "you just told me the same thing the nurse said but I truly don't remember setting up the fireplace or burning old clothes. I came home and I called you immediately and afterward, I slept off on the couch only to wake up and find my house filled with smoke and the neighbours hitting my door."Domenico placed his palms on her pale cheek."Maybe I did but I really can't remember," she added quickly, "I'm probably worrying for nothing."*Luna leaned against the pillow, waiting for Domenico to return from getting food for them.'Do whatever you wish but trust me, you're no longer safe'The words of the blonde-haired girl kept echoing in her head. She breathed out shakily. Did she mean it?"Your body is already stressed as it is, don't overthink," Domenico said upon entering."I'm sick of this place," she pouted, "I imagined cooling off with you in some fancy diner and staring at your beautiful eyes,

"Looks like we were destined to meet again," He smiled."It is rude to sit without invitation," She said harshly."Sorry, but I had a feeling you'd say no and I don't take no for an answer, especially when it comes to getting what I want."She raised a brow, "Your pride stinks."He shrugged, "I want to get to know you. What is prideful about that?"She stared at him. He was rich, attractive, classy, and exuded manly confidence. It wouldn't be so bad to indulge him.She relaxed and watched him over the rim of her glass."I am Antonio Galdo," He introduced, stretching his hand.*She eyed it, "I still haven't approved your intrusion."He chuckled and called on a waiter. "Do you want anything to eat or you are just here to drink?""I'll have the peppered chicken barbeque and the pasta to go with it," She answered.His lips twitched. "Same, please," He said to the waiter."Is that a flirting trick? Order the same with the lady so she thinks you are interested in her."He chuckled, "I guess

How far gone was he? Too far, too too far, or else he wouldn't be chasing her all over the place. He accused her of not admitting her feelings for him at the hospital but he was the real hypocrite; he was the one holding them back from crossing the friendship stage because he was scared she'd reject him. After all, she was a rich heiress, she could get any man she wanted."Quite far," He admitted, glancing at Pietro."And?"He looked at him now. "And?""And what are your intentions towards her? You didn't come with her all the way here for fun, did you?"*He blew out a breath, "I want her to be my girlfriend... first. We have never tested that terrain, never given into our attraction. Then... then I'll like to marry her if she's willing."Pietro nodded his head and he seemed to be gauging his words."But I want to get stable first," He added, holding his ground, "She is used to a good life, the best life, I don't want to give her less."Pietro smiled, "You better don't."*"What was h
