My Winter

♤♡21◇♧

{Attention: sexy things happen in this chapter.}

Nicloas' Pov:

Momma and Isabella will be here soon. Winter is upstairs getting ready. I wanted to hold her and talk to her since I haven't seen her all day, but Bruno insisted I waited.
When I asked why, he winked and said, "It'll be worth it."

Fine. Whatever. I'm already dressed in my favorite black suit anyways. I'll just go check with the maids to make sure that everything is set and ready. Bruno messagedme, told me everything was all good. The bodyguards are in place. I don't need a surprise visit from Lucien or anyone else. Not tonight. I want to save my energy for Tuesday.

They will pay for betraying me. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Did they honestly think, they could get away with this? I'm gonna make them wish they were never born.

The doorbell interrupted my vengeance thoughts. I opened the door and saw my family.

"Mama," I smiled, embracing her with hug, following up with a kiss on her cheek.

"Mio figlio." She returned my hug.

I pulled away from mama and turned to my sister. "Isabella." I hugged her and kissed her cheek.

"Hello brother." She smiled, giving me a tight bear hug.

I let go of my sister and saw her husband stand beside her. "Joseph." I took his hand and hugged him. We let go after a short second and patted each each other on the arm.

"Come." I gestured for them to enter my home. After they entered I closed the door. "How is my family?" I asked as my butler took their purses and jackets.

Yes, normally the butler would open the door and welcome them in. But I haven't seen my family in a while. I wanted to be the one who greeted them.

"We're well." Mama said.

"Where's my nephew?" I asked my sister.

"He got released the other day," She explained. "But the doctor highly encouraged us to keep him home for now. We've hired a nurse to watch him for now."

I nodded. "I'm glad he's home."

Isa smiled, but I could see something was bothering her, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Where is she?" Mama asked.

"She's-" the sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs next to us cut me off. Winter.

Keep in mind, I was still angry with the traditori, but the moment I saw her... all my anger disappeared. She came down gracefully with a hint of pink in her cheeks. Her purple dress complimented her complexion. When I saw her leg through her slit dress, dirty things crossed my mind. I slapped myself mentally because it wasn't the time now. As much as I wanted to run my hands over her smooth skin, I need to wait. I was glad Bruno told me to wait.

My mom cleared her throat, disrupting my thoughts.

"Mom, Isa, Joseph. This is Winter." I held out my hand for Winter. When her hand touched mine, my body instantly became warm and relaxed.

"Hi," she said softly.

"Nice to meet you dear." Mama took her in for a hug, making her let go of my hand. Coldness replaced where her hand was. "My name is Arianna. But you may call me Ari for now."

"Nice to meet you." Winter replied, stepping back from their hug.

"Wait." Isa said next to me. "Aren't you that nurse I spoke to a few days ago?"
