She batted her lashes, "What if I wanna eat with you?" She asked,
"You heard me, my love." His jaw slightly moved, getting tight, "You can go out to shop." He said.

What would be going on in Giovanni and Elizabeth's minds? She stared at the grass, sitting behind the glass wall. The cool air was sending shivers down her spine. She turned off the AC. The thought of being locked with Nico and Bianca sent shivers down her spine again. But it was scary this time. She was having difficulty seeping into the reality of her husband. She ran her fingers in her hair, trying to think about her hair, make up, and new dresses. 'I can't call Emlyn. She won't object to it. I don't need to ask. I can tell. She knows - Who are they?

Panic clawed her as her eyes snapped open. Her thoughts were girthed with fear that he would know that she tried to run away and worse - He'd think she tried to escape with Diego asking for his help. Her chin began to quiver. Her eyes turned glassy. She held her breath and peeked around. She let out a huge breath. Stepped out of the bed, she stumbled toward the door. Her trembling hand reached for the door, "There are guards outside," She recognized her voice. She spun and breathed out slowly, seeing Emlyn, "I'm not running. Where's Ales? I need to talk to him." She said in a groggy voice. Her grip was tightened on the doorknob. Emlyn rushed at her exasperatedly, stopping at her face, "You know what he can do to our family," she snarled.

She stumbled on her feet as she walked toward the hall. She stopped with fear and confusion. She wasn't certain it was a gunshot's sound or something heavy had just fallen. She trotted toward the hall. Her eyes widened when a strong hold grasped her and yanked her back. A hand came over her mouth, blocking her scream. Her eyes met a dark set of grey eyes, his hair was grey, the forehead was creased, but his expression was soft. She blinked, her heart pounding, she pushed the man away. He was looking like an aristocratic, noble, respected gentleman. She stopped struggling for a second. Blinking, she came out of her shock zone and pushed him away with both of her hands.

She drove a car to her usual meeting place with Emlyn. Her self-respect was bigger than anything right now. She parked the car and pulled the hood over to her face. She glanced over the shoulder to see the guards. His guards were respectful toward her but she wanted time for herself. Locking the car, she sauntered toward the door. She pushed open the door and stood as she saw Emlyn with Camila. She ungripped the handle and the door slid closed. Astonished, she whirled to pace toward the car. Her entire body was rigid and pain could be seen through her eyes. She had a glimpse of Matt looking at her from behind the tree. She must not have noticed him if she were in a cheery mood.
