"Who the hell are you?"

"Estella Macáno, what the fuck are you doing?"

I turned around slowly with a sheepish smile.

"Ciao, Adonis," I squeaked with a small wave.

"Estella?"

I slowly turned back around.

"Ciao, Daniel." My voice was a nervous squeal again.

"Daniel, hi! Tell Maria I cannot seem to get enough of her cupcakes. I will happily watch Eva anytime for more!"

We all turned to the old lady next door. Her innocent smile moved Daniel as he waved at her. "Alright, Ms. Esther."

I was happy she spoke up.

I could only imagine the anger in Adonis's eyes. Luckily, he had on another pair of expensive shades because I could not face him right now.

"Estella, what are you doing here?" Daniel asked me. His eyes scanned my entire body.

All attention was on me again.

Although I could tell Adonis was upset with me, I felt a protective hand on my waist as he pulled me against his chest.

My heart skipped too many beats.

I knew that Daniel saw the same gesture because he scoffed.
"You brought a Veretti to my doorstep?" he asked me.

I frowned. "How do you know-"

"Let's go, Estella."

"No, I-"

"Dammit, Estella, go get in the car!"

I pulled away from Adonis and turned around to face him. I saw something glisten in the waistband of his pants.

Oh, shit.

"You brought a-"

"Daniel, who's at the door?" I heard a feminine voice.

Seconds later, a beautiful lady came to the door.

I felt my body go cold.

"Holy fuck," Adonis mumbled from behind me.

"Yeah, no shit," I whispered as I looked at her.

"What type of American thriller shit is this?" he murmured in my ear.

"I am going to ask you to leave," Daniel said as he pinched his nose.

"My name is Maria," the lady said as she stuck her hand out. I smiled at her and shook her hand.

"My name is Estella," I responded politely.

Her curly, black hair was down her back. Unlike me, she had brown highlights. Her hazel eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"I just made enchiladas," she said. "Would you guys like to come in?"

Her jeans hugged her wide curves, and her tanned skin was flawless.

"Actually, we have to-"

"Honey, they got lost in-"

"I would love to," I cut Daniel and Adonis off from the terrible lies they were about to tell her.

She beamed at me. "Amazing! Daniel, take those cupcakes to Esther," she said before disappearing into the house.

I followed behind her.
