Matteo

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 4.

Did she just??

Aria's death threat left Matteo inarticulated. He couldn't believe his future-wife; the red-hair beauty was threatening to kill him just to escape the marriage. A marriage to the Cortiano's underboss.

Did she even know who he was???

After staring at her for one straight minute, a small chuckle escaped her lips, and he quickly covered it up by coughing and instantly clearing his throat. He rarely laughed with a stranger, let along on a death threat. But this girl was something different. She wasn't the good girl she pretended to be in front of everyone. The obedient daughter, who never raised her voice or argued with anyone. The beloved princess everyone wanted to have their hands on.

But she was his, not anyone else to have or to touch or even see. A raw feeling of jealous and possessiveness took over him catching him by surprise. Matteo never called anything his, never had the emotion or feeling to make someone his. But why was this red-hair beauty attracting him so much. Making him want things he knew a man like him never deserved.

He might be good at reading people and analysing the situation. But this princess just proved him wrong for the first time ever and for all he cared he wasn't the least bit angry about it. He was in return intrigued by her.

"Oh you think I am joking, because I am a fragile girl." Aria said with a hit of anger in her voice as she moved both her hand to rest on her narrow waist, diverting Matteo's attention to it. Involuntarily Making him wonder what his arm would feel like circled around her tiny waist.

"Oh Mr. I am serious I know 200 ways to kill a man and 2000 ways to slowly kill a man." She hisses back at him in a warning tone, trying so hard to scare him just so he would refuse to marry a psychopath. This way she doesn't have to get involved or get her hands dirty with the real crime - Just scare them off.

But the gangster in front of her just smiled down at her, taking her warning lightly. Like she was a sweet little girl trying to act strong in front of him.

It only annoyed Aria more, so she decided to elaborate her plan, explaining different ways to him she would kill him and cover it all up so it looked like an accident.

Matteo smiled at her, enjoying himself way more than he should but as the she continued he couldn't hold back his laughter and busted out in a loud laugh.

Oh cucumbers if he wasn't good looking before, he definitely looked boom now, Aria thought. He had a single small dimple on his right cheek which only enhanced his hotness.... like he needed any help in that department. He was like a 100 on the scale of hotness where 10 was the maximum any human being can get.

ahhhh... so not fare, how could she resist him now.

He was build tall with a muscular and perfectly toned body. He had a tiny waist to insinuate his broad shoulders and the navy blue suit he was wearing just in made him look like a GQ model.

God that was really not fare, how was a girl like her going to ever resist him.

A shiver ran down her spine as his laughter continued to get a loud by every passing second. She never thought she was that funny but his laughter made her wonder if she should try for stand-up comedy. She rubbed her hands up and down her arms, warming herself up and hating how her body was responding to his laughter.He noticed her movement and like a gentleman he removed his suit jacket like a pro-model, who had done it a thousand times. He walked towards her and draped it over her shoulder from behind not giving her a chance to refuse his gesture.

She smelled like flowers, roses to be exact. He tried his best not to touch her hair, but he couldn't resist and the outside of his hand gently caressed over her silky red hair. Her long hair felt so soft under his touch, making him wonder how it would feel to run his fingers through them, to rub them between his fingers.

The moment that strange thought ran though his mind he quickly took a step back. Surprise as if he had touched fire instead of soft silk.

What was this girl doing to him??
