Chapter 13

Maria

It felt much better than I am on good terms with my brother and mum. She told me about Alessandro, he seems like a decent guy.

But my question is, why Italian. There are many bachelors in my own home country.

I still remember my reaction when I heard Lucifer saying that he loves me. Only if he knew the feelings are mutual, things would have been so different.

It surprised me that my brother knew it too. Only Jo knows that I have feelings for him. Personally, me and Lucifer never spoke much but I was still attracted to him.

When Theo found out that we had heard their conversation, Lucifer was red in embarrassment and Theo was sorry that he was going behind my back being a matchmaker.

To be honest, I didn't have a problem with it, the only thing coming between is Alessandro.

Right now we are going to their mansion, I am quite nervous. The scenery is beautiful.

The car stopped and I looked out of the window, shit we have reached. I looked at mum and she gave me a reassuring smile.

After stepping out I looked around, fuck this is gorgeous. There was a mansion made out of stone, it looked beautiful in the skylight, there was a pool and a large garden.

There were guards everywhere, why does this family need such security? Piece of shit.

We walked to the open main door and a couple was standing there with a genuine smile.

"Please come in." The lady said. She had a very thick accent.

"I am Georgia and this is my husband Vincent." She said.

Georgia was short in height, with blond hair and silver eyes, she had worn a long blue, simple dress. Vincent was of my height, brown hair, blue eyes and had some visible tattoos on his hand which were not hidden by his suit.

"It is good to meet you, Mr and Mrs Romero," my mum said. "This is Theo our older son and this is Maria our daughter." I smiled at the couple.

I feel like I am in a mall being described for buying. This is awkward as fuck.

"It is nice to meet you, Mr and Mrs Romero. You have a beautiful house." I say

"Oh hush, call us by our names, we are practically going to be family." Vincent says.

I try not to cringe at that thought and just smile.

"Why don't you guys freshen up and then we will have dinner." Georgia said.

I was confused, where is Alessandro, is he not supposed to be here too. Georgia saw my confusion and said.

"Alessandro had some urgent work to attend so he will directly join dinner. Sorry for that." She looked at me then at Theo. They shared a look.

Am I missing something?

"It's fine, there is no rush, after all, we are staying for 2 days, we will have lots of time." Theo said.

All I am doing is fake smiling. My cheeks are hurting. We were given our guest rooms, this house is seriously huge for a family of four. Maybe they have frequent guests. There was black as the main colour throughout the mansion. All the furniture and decor were mainly of dark colour. It felt so gloomy.

I got freshened up, unpacked and started getting ready for dinner. I wore an elegant, navy blue dress which Jo made me buy. She even told me to carry the lingerie, but that's not happening.

I did some light makeup, not much cause I get lazy to remove it later. Then I did my hair, into a half pony.

And walked down for dinner. I hope I am not late nor early. It always happens, while dressing up I feel like I will be overdressed or not dressed for the moment.

Everyone is seated at the table already, I guess I am late. Well, blame it on the big house. I walked to my chair which was next to Theo and then I looked at Georgia.

"I am sorry I was late, couldn't find the dining room." I said with a chuckle.

Well, I am not overdressed, Georgia looks beautiful as well. She had quite the style.

"No problem dear, we were all just talking. Let me introduce you to Alessandro." She says with an understanding smile and I look at who is sitting in front of me.

Fuck.

"You must be Maria, I am Alessandro." He says.

Fuck he has an accent as well. I think I just lost my ability to speak. But he didn't smile, he just had a straight face.

"It is nice to meet you." I say. And he just nods.

Well, this is going to be a hell of a dinner.
