"Do not think i will give you my heart just because you're the mother of my children. Marriage is one thing, being in love another."
"Give him as much bastards as you'd want at the end of the day he will be in my bed, making me feel loved while you...
Being in a plane had never been more monotonous or should i say, more intimidating.
And to say i still had hours on end being trapped in the sky with my dear husband wasn't reassuring either.
"Why are you looking at me ?" I managed to say. my tone was a bit harsher than i'd liked for it to come, after constantly feeling Damian's eyes on me. We were the only 2 people in his extravagant private jet apart from the guards who weren't sitting in our sight. He'd been on his laptop for the past 2 hours.
"First second I saw you and I couldn't get over how beautiful you were but then you opened your mouth. You're a really a little vixen, aren't you ?" He said with some amusement on his face.
I couldn't help but look away.
I couldn't get over how beautiful you were.
"Well then you should know that i'm not a damsel in distress. I just don't like people creeping me out."
"I creep you out ?" He asked "Non sono esattamente le mie intenzioni, cara moglie." He continued with a smirk. (Those aren't exactly my intentions, dear wife.)
"Why didn't you marry Sophia ?" My question caught him off guard. Like he wasn't expecting it.
"Huh are you my friend I am Sara get ?" He looked at me.
"Why didn't you marry Sophia ?" I repeated even though i was sure he heard me exactly what i said the first time.
"Why would i marry her ?" He counter questioned me with no hesitation.
"You and her have a thing going on, right ? You went to her last night as well.." i replied
"She and I have had nothing that would have lead to marriage. She's nothing to me." He simply answered.
"So she's just your side piece." I muttered but he heard what i said earning a chuckle from him.
"Not a side piece. Just a mutual set up, you know ?" He said. " but what makes you curious ?"
"Nothing. Just randomly asking." I said and went back to fidgeting my finger nails on my lap.
"Your father called to inquire about you, by the way. You're not picking up his calls ?" The sound of my father caught of my attention. Inquiring about me after marrying me off to a rich monster like them against my wish.
"I haven't checked my phone since yesterday." I plainly replied.
He didn't say anything after that. He probably knew by now I wasn't very emotionally connected to either of my parents. I missed Marco and Emi though.
Finally the twelve hours journey was over.
It was midnight in Tahiti when our plane landed.
A car was waiting for us. I felt the cool breeze of night hit my face as i took a step out of the plane.

Damian offered his hand as we made our way inside the car and unknowingly i took it and placed my hand in his. He opened the door and led me inside before shutting the door and making his way inside the car from the other side.
For the first time since our first meeting, i looked at his tauntingly beautiful face with all the intentions of admiring him. He was on the phone seemingly giving orders to someone in our native language but I couldn't fathom anything that was coming out of his mouth.
I couldn't look away. I didn't even notice when he hung up the phone.
"What's happening here ?" He said with a smug smirk breaking my trance.
"Hmm ? Nothing." I shook my head and looked away from him.
"You can do more than just looking, Tesoro. It's all yours after all." His tone made me look his way again. His smirk was long gone now covered by an expression I couldn't really read.
He leaned a little towards me taking me by surprise. His thumb delicately caressing my cheek. I leaned towards him when a picture of him kissing Sophia came over my mind making me gain all of my senses back so I pulled away from him.
"Are you alright ?" He asked.
"I will be." I whispered just loud enough for him to understand.
The waterfront villa that we were staying at, was one of the most beautiful things i'd ever seen. I couldn't help but admire every single detail. My father owned one in Greece and it was just as well beautiful as well. The often visited once a year Greece ever since i was little but our last visit was 2 years back.
I loved beaches.
Tropical ones specially.
So I wasn't much bothered that i was going to be here for the next few days with a monster.
At least i was on an island.
My mind drifted back to the scene in the car. We almost kissed.
Just a moment of weakness. I tried to calm my mind.
Just when turned i bumped into Damian's hard chest.
"Would you like to eat here ? If you're not tired we can go out for dinner ?"
Honestly i had no problem with both.
But looking at his face, i knew he didn't get any sleep throughout the night and only 2 hours of sleep after he came back from wherever he was all night. He needed sleep. Plus I wasn't even hungry.
"I'm not very hungry. I ate on the plane, remember ?" I told him.
"That was hours ago. I'll just call a restaurant and order here. What do you wanna eat ?" He asked.
"I'll just eat whatever. I have no preference." I told him.
He ordered Italian. Of course. I know i said i'd no preference but thank goodness Damian didn't order any seafood.
Eating seafood at night made me sick.
Something I didn't quite understand.
We ate dinner in silence.
He didn't say anything about our almost kiss in the car.
That was normal for him, right ?
"I'll be in the room next door, Call me if you need anything." He said before i went inside my bedroom to rest for the night.
Today was a long fucking day and i needed nothing more than a soft mattress to put me to sleep.
