"I think I'm falling in love with you."
BOOK 2
Sequel to "Is This Family?"
She was like a moth and he was her flame. He was dangerous. He had the capability to burn her. Swallow her. But she just got more and more consumed by him.
4 years later, n...
I was on my way back to Italy with my father and Helena and Stephano.
"You let your emotions get the best of you." My father said.
"Lo so padre. It's just when it comes to her, it makes me get out of control." I said gripping the armrest. (I know father.)
"You're young. It's quite natural for you to get riled up. But being the Don, you need to be careful of what you let others see. If people know how much she means to you then they will go after her."
"I'll cripple anyone who even takes a step towards her with the wrong intention. I understood padre. I'll be careful next time."
"Mio Figlio, my everything is yours. And I know it's in good hands." He said and placed his hand on my shoulder. My father and I have had fair share of differences. But as I grew into my role, they seemed to subside.
Helena came in with an ipad in her hand and I knew who it was.
"Ay ay Fratello! Come stai oggi?" My younger brother and my underboss, Casmiro howled. (How are you?)
"You got it done?" I asked him.
"Straight to buisness like always Fratello."
"Casmiro don't waste my time. I've plenty to do." I said sternly.
"Your work is done. New security team has been supervised, trained and deployed. They'll land in London as we're talking."
"Make sure to follow back."
"Oh Helena make sure our whipped Fratello doesn't jump off the plane when it passes through London. And if he does make him wear a para shoot!" Helena laughed as I cut the call. He's a total useless waste of resources. Fucking idiot.
"The package you gave me also has been sent and will be delivered in 3 hours at Wright estate." Helena said. I nodded at her.
After a 5 hour flight, I went to Clarence estate and straight to my bedroom where her life sized portrait was placed. I was mad, angry and fucking pissed at her for not wanting to see me.
But I knew that she had no idea how I felt about her. If she would see the obsession I have for her, she would run away from me. And I don't want to see fear for me in those warm pools of brown honey. So I waited but not anymore.
She graduated last month and I gave her the final few moments of what she calls freedom. But now it's time for making her mine forever.
I stare at her and ran my fingers across the life size portrait. Soon my fingers will touch your skin and not this piece of glass which does no justice to your ethereal beauty.

"Here you are Ms.Katherine I've been looking everywhere!" A flustered Elsa came running to me as I was painting on my canvas in the backyard.
"Elsa relax. What's the matter?" I asked her focusing on my brush.
"Ma'am some packages were sent for you earlier this morning. They've been delivered to your room." I knew who sent them.
"Thank you Elsa." I said dismissing her.
"And ma'am also Mrs. Anna is back from USA. She asked for you."
"Anna is back? God you should've started with that." I said as I kept my brush on the table next to me and made a run for it. Elsa then told me that she was in my room.
I went to my room and found no one in there and then suddenly Kat startled me from behind. I turned around and hugged her tightly.
"Oh I missed you so much!" She said.
"Me too. You took so long!" I said.
And then we sat together and talked.
"Someone went shopping without me!" She said and huffed out looking behind me. I turned around to see a lot of brand bags. Again. Channel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and a box of Lindt. And a bouquet of french white roses.
"Oh I didn't get all of this stuff." I said defending myself. She gave me a knowing look and wiggled her eyebrows.
"It's him. Isn't it? Your fiance from Italy." She gave me a sly smile and nudged me.
"Anna stop. You know what kind of a situation I'm in. He keeps sending all these things I dont know why." I said.
"Oh come on Kat. He doesn't have anything to prove to anyone. He's doing it for you. It's natural for him to try to impress you and grab your attention. You're engaged for God's sake. One of these days you're gonna meet him and gradually build a life with him. So appreciate these little things he does for you."
"I know. And I do appreciate it. But I just... you know." I said sighing.
"I know. And that's why we're here. As all of your brothers are lost cause in romance, you can come to Alicia and I anytime." I laughed at her comment.
Then we had tea together and then she went for a nap and I came back to my room and sat on the floor near all those bags and started unpacking them.
Hand bags and jewelry, silk scarves and a bottle of Jimmy Choo illicit, my favorite perfume and a McGregor watch. Everything was beautiful a definitely worth a few hundred thousand pounds. These things do make me feel happy. Happy that he cares enough to send me these things. Happy that he gives an effort and happy that he thinks about me. A smile made it's way on my face and I felt my cheeks warm up as I was lost in his thoughts again.
It was only a few minutes later that I saw a white envelope which missed my attention before. It had no name on it but I opened it anyway. I pulled out the card and my eyes widened a bit when I saw what was written on it.
"I'll see you soon Preziosa."
