It's Riley's decision.
Mike did not stop himself from hugging Riley tighter and place a kiss on her forehead. Then he leaned back a little and spoke, “Won’t you invite me in?”
She chuckled out of embarrassment, “Come.” She took his hand and walked inside the fortress.
“I had called you earlier in the morning,” he said as they walked inside.
“I know. And I am sorry I did not pick up your call. I was in a difficult situation,” she reasoned.
“I wonder what has kept you so busy to not even pick my call,” he raised his brows.
“I will let you know that later. How is Jordan?”
“She is good.”
“Mr. Marcel?”
“You mean Adrian or Aaron?” she chuckled at that. It was no wonder that Michael had grown close to Aaron.
“Senior and junior, both,” she replied.
“They are both good. Aaron has become my parents' grandson and is being spoiled a lot. And I am being blamed for his bluntness,”
Riley laughed, “I would not be surprised if he will be an imprint of you w

The Known Gentlemen Loads to think!
After Michael left her house, Riley found herself I her room, thinking what to do. She had no idea why her father gave her the chance to decide her life. She simply could not think straight at this moment. Who was she supposed to choose? Michael? Vincenzo?She got up from the bed and walked towards the door when she heard someone knocking at it. She was nervous for a reason. What would she do if Vincenzo was at the other side of door? What would she talk to him?She slowly opened the door and peeked outside and left out am enormous sigh after seeing Rafaele at the door. She pulled him inside and closed the door.“Where you expecting someone else?” Rafaele asked taking a seat on the bed. She walked back to the bed and took a seat next to him.“I was just nervous.

The next day morning, Vincenzo was up early and he got ready quickly and went out of his room. He wanted to talk Riley the first thing in the morning. He knocked her door twice before she opened it for him.Riley was already up and was getting ready. She looked like she was going out somewhere.“Are you busy? Are you going out? Shall I get the vehicle out for you?” He asked her. They could talk in the car. It was a better option than to talk at home. No one would be there.Riley thought for a while before speaking, “Umm… I am actually going to out to meet Michael.” Vincenzo’s face went sore at the mention of Michael’s name. It is not like he hated Michael but he was scarred of losing Riley to him.“But you can get the vehicle out. I actually wanted to talk to you too,” she said. Vincenzo nervously nodded his head and went to the garage to get the vehicle out. He thought, this was his chance to tell Riley that he still loves her and he don’t want to lose her.

After pushing Riley out of his room, Michael slumped down holding onto his chest. He felt immense pain all of a sudden. He was not expecting what she said today.

What about it?” She asked.“My flight has landed back in the US. Did he go for a three day vacation to Italy?”Sarah’s face went pale for a second. What happened to Michael? Did he come back home already? Sarah had no idea as to what was happening with Michael. He had not called her not even once.She immediately grabbed her phone and made a quick phone call to him. But it went straight to voicemail.“What is happening?” Jonathan questioned getting a little impatient with the sudden change in his wife’s behaviour.She shook her head saying she has no idea why he is back home this quickly.By
