Only you

21~ Two?

◇Sophia◇

I sigh sipping the rest of the champagne that was in my flute cup. All I had done so far this evening was smile at every couple that approached Lorenzo, while I just stood there watching him. 

He's left me now and he's speaking to some old man at the other side of the hall. Andrea was here with me a while as well now she's gone with her husband, probably doing the same thing as me. 

These heels are also killing me right now. I just wanna go home and binge Netflix right now. I'm glad it's the weekend tomorrow so it doesn't really matter how long we stay here anyways. 

I turn back to the direction where Lorenzo was to see he's walking back towards our table now. 

He opens his mouth to say something to me but another man cuts him off. "Mr Rossi!" the man greets. 

Lorenzo turns his attention to the man and his jaw visibly clenches. Guess he doesn't like this man. 

"Thomas" Lorenzo simply states. 

"Pleasure to see you. I was looking for you all night but clearly looks like your very busy" he chuckles at the end. 

No body else finds his joke funny and we just stand there staring at him with blank faces. He seems to get the hint and stops shortly after as well. 

"Right, I was hoping that you and Lilah would've met by now" he says. The mention of the name Lilah reminds me of my friend Lilah. 

I sigh internally and try to get my mind off her, besides this is a different Lilah. 

"And why would I need to meet Lilah?" Lorenzo asks curiously bringing my attention back to the conversation taking place in front of me. 

"Well I'm sure you'd both want to get to know each other a bit before you know- Oh well let me find her and I'll be back with you" he says before walking off in search of Lilah I'm guessing. 

I'm still confused as to why he as to meet her but they might be very good friends, how do I know?

Before either of us could say anything Lorenzo's father walks up to us with Andrea following behind. 

"See you've already met Thomas" he says to Lorenzo with an almost cheery voice. I look over to Andrea and she just gives me a pitiful look before turning her attention to the floor. 

Lorenzo just simply nods and moves to stand closer to me. "I'm assuming you know about his daughter as well then?" Mr Rossi says. 

My ears perk up at this and I listen into their conversation eager to know who this Lilah is. 

"No I don't" Lorenzo says. 

"Well she's your wife" he says. My eyes widen at this and I snap my head towards Lorenzo in search for an explanation or anything. 

Lorenzo just looks back at his father with an angered expression and his jaw clenched. "No" he simply states. 

His father takes the smirk off his face and it's replaced by an angry one. "What the fuck do you mean No?" his father asks angrily. 

"I mean she's not my fucking wife. I already have one" he says through clenched teeth. 

"Well there's nothing wrong with having two is there?" he snaps back. "I'm not asking you ton love them or anything, besides the alliance is already accepted" he says with an evil smirk on his face. 

"I don't fucking care about how many wives I have but it's not fair on Sophia. She has a right in this as well, if she isn't happy with it I don't care your cancelling the alliance" he says leaving no space for argument. 

"Okay then" his father says turning to me with a wicked smile on his face. "Sophia dear, do you object or have any problem with Lorenzo having another wife?" he asks too sweetly. 

I start fiddling with my fingers and turn my gaze to Lorenzo to see him looking back at me with an almost pleading look in his eyes. 

Fuck! What do I say? I mean I don't expect Lorenzo to ever love me but it hurts me so much to know that he's be someone else's. 

But I guess he can't be mines, right? I'm stupid, naïve and he was forced to marry so he should have the right to have another wife if that's what he wants. 

Even though it's like a rip to my heart to say these words I do "No" I say looking anywhere but Lorenzo's face. 

Tears are welling in my eyes and I blink them away not wanting to cry in front of everyone in a ball. 

Two new figures join our table and before I could see the person I hear them and a gasp escapes my mouth at the recognition. 

"Mr Rossi" a sound too familiar says. My eyes widen at the voice and I turn around to be met with the same Lilah that I once called my 'friend'. 

She looks over at me when I gasp and her face turns into one of disgust, but she quickly hides it. 

What is she doing here? This is a ball for the Mafia's only. Is she part of the Mafia?

She takes her attention of me and turns back to Lorenzo, fluttering her eyelashes, probably trying to get his attention. 

I turn to Lorenzo to see he's not even paying attention to her. "Hello" she says a bit louder trying to grab his attention, but he just ignores her. 

"Hello!" she tries again but this time louder. This grabs the attentions of the people on the nearby tables. 

She turns around and gives them a sheepish smile in return, while I turn my head around and try to hide my laughter. 

"You need something?" Lorenzo snaps back angrily. Woah guess he doesn't like here. 

"Yes. I'd like to speak with my husband if that isn't a problem" she says folding her arms in front of her chest. 

"It is a fucking problem" he grumbles under his breath so nobody else could hear but him and me. 

"Before anything let me introduce to you my wife" Lorenzo says putting his arm around my waist. 

My eyes widen at his actions and I try to calm down the butterflies in my stomach. "This is Sophia, you-" she doesn't even let him finish before cutting him off. 

"I know, I know we've met before" she says hastily. 

Lorenzo raises his eyebrow at this and turns to me for an explanation. "She was my 'friend'" I say quietly. 

"Never knew you were in the Mafia" Lilah remarks snarkily. I look up at her and reply "Same with you". 

I hate looking at her face it makes me want to slap and punch it until its unrecognizable. She's such a greedy jealous bitch. 

Every single crush I'd have on a boy in high school she'd go and date that boy a few weeks later fully well knowing I liked them, now she's here after my husband. 

She turns around to be facing Lorenzo straight and she folds her arms in front of her boobs so they would spill out more. 

She was wearing a strapless heart neckline maxi long dress that complimented her skin tone. 

Lilah was pretty whether she knew it or not and that's probably why she grabbed the attention of all the guys. 

"Well we're going now" he says to no one in particular. He then turns to me and says "The car will be outside". 

Lorenzo starts walking and just as I'm about to go stand next to him Lilah beats me to it and grabs onto his bicep. 

A pang of hurt rushes through me but I just cover it up and walk by myself outside.
