"Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them."
Anya Bernardi : A 21 year old living in a home where pain is inflicted upon her. She wants nothing more than to run away and start a new life , a new adventure...
Today was the day that Lorenzo and I were going to go public . He had a few maids rush into my room early this morning because we had to take pictures so it would be published on newspapers .
I kinda forgot that he was a famous business man . I also found out today that he had purchased me a ,4000 dollar dress just to wear for today . I mean the dress was fucking beautiful I just didn't understand why he had to spend so much on me ?

It was comfortable to wear as it hugged my curves and was loose around the bottom . Lorenzo managed to figure out my size without me even telling him which I wasn't even gonna question .
My hair was sleeked into a low pony and my makeup was made natural. My bruises has slightly faded so I didn't really worry that much anymore .
"Anya you look amazing ." I heard Leona say as she entered my room , I smile at her giving her a quiet 'Thankyou ."
"Lorenzos waiting downstairs for you ."
I let out a breath "can't believe I'm actually doing this ." I look at my reflection in the mirror as I apply my two earrings .
"Come on let's go." Leona reaches for my hand pulling me up from my seat , i trip over my dress reminding her that I'm in heels and she should slow down , she's quick to apologize and leads me towards Lorenzo .
I see him from afar and he looks sexier in that suit of his . The red fabric in his mini pocket matches the color of my dress and I instantly smile , as I meet those green eyes of his . "You look amazing."
"As so you Mr moretti."
"Have a nice day guys ." Leona says just before we leave the house , and towards the black suv . They we're probably one of Enzo's drivers as I've never seen them before . He allows me to get in first before he does .
"I considered what you said to me yesterday , I can fly Zoe in by Thursday if that's fine with you ." Lorenzo speaks , and I instantly smile "Thank you so much, she'll be so happy to hear that ."
A couple days ago , I wanted Zoe to come back down to LA but she said that the plane tickets were to expensive so Enzo purchased her one for a private jet instead . He was being too nice , and I knew something was up .
"What's the catch ?" I ask curiosity filling my thoughts once again . "What do you mean?"
"You see , I find it strange how ever since I've been here you've been spoiling me no stop ."
"Like I've previously said I want you to feel welcome ."
I hum in response as he goes back to typing away on his phone . I wouldn't be supposed if he was writing an entire essay . "Lorenzo, how exactly is bringing the Russians here going to help you accomplish your mission?"
"Because we are aiming for someone in specific, and i know exactly where he'll be when they arrive ."
"I want you to train me."
"What for? And don't say protection because no one is coming anywhere near you ."
"I wanna be able to defend myself, I mean I don't wanna be weak." I look down at my lap and sigh
Lorenzo then grabs my chin forcing me to look at him "your not fucking weak , you just need to toughen up a little, it's not good to bring yourself down Tesoro."
I look into his eyes and notice a hint of emotion , but as soon as he blinked it faded . I slowly nod my head and he lets go of my chin .
Arriving at the venue Enzo had picked , the chauffeur opens the door allowing me to step out ."Thankyou ." I say to the driver as I watch him drive off , I feel Enzo reach for my hand interlocking our fingers together as we walked towards the entrance .
We're a couple remember.
"Good morning , reservation for moretti ?"
"Ooh yes , please follow me this way ." The receptionist takes us to a large room , where cameras and photographic equipment are . A few guys in the room whom which I know none of .
"Mr moretti what a pleasure to meet you and your darling fiancé ." The old man says shaking Enzo's hand , "let's get straight to it shall we?"
The guy led us towards the studio and I feel Lorenzo's grip loosen around my hand . "So we're just taking photos ?"
"No after we're going to some brunch you are going to meet my peers ."
"Peers?" He never told me this until now , let's hope there not as intimidating as He is . "Don't worry they don't bite."
*** "Could we get a kiss ?" I hear someone shout , Lorenzo and I both look at each other and I feel my cheeks heat up , "seguire la corrente." He whispers in my ear Go with the flow
I feel his lips against mine and I swear my stomach was doing backflips , his hand rests on my cheek as he deepens the kiss, I could hear multiple cameras shutting and I realized everyone was watching .
Oh my God , I just kissed him .
We both pull away and I notice the smirk he had on his face . Wait till Zoe hears about this I guarantee she'll be more excited than I am .
Ever since I've been with Lorenzo I've done nothing but smile so I guess he was right in some ways . I'm just glad to be here despite it not being real .
I'm pretty sure over 200 photos were taken but Lorenzo told me it was needed because turns out he owned one of the largest companies here in LA . There was so much about him I didn't know and I was learning knew things everyday .
I watched as Lorenzo spoke with the old man for a good five minutes , before coming towards my direction . "Ciao mrs Moretti." I smile and wave as we exit the building .
"Mrs moretti huh ?" Enzo says behind me "sounds nice don't you think?" Lorenzo grins as he opens the door to the suv allowing me to enter . He gets in after me and shuts the door .
He was such a gentleman
"Is this brunch gonna be long ?" I ask
"Just an hour or so ." He replies, "And I know what your thinking Anya , there not scary."
"Your just saying that because your there boss."
"You shouldn't be scared , everyone knows not to disrespect you unless they want to deal with me ." I turn my head to Enzo and tuck in my bottom lip . Which reminds me of him just kissing me not so long ago . I could still taste him .
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Go on."
"Why when having a wedding must everyone be invited ? And I mean like all the mafia leaders."
"Because Tesoro , it's a sign of respect and it also shows that there isn't conflict between some mafia leaders , now Russians despite their being a few issues it's critical that they come."
"How many are there ?"
"Worldwide ? 50 at least."
"So that means there's going to be a lot of people there right ?"
"Trust me thousands ." I lean back against the chair letting out a sigh . Why the hell was being a fiancé already so exhausting , imagine being his wife ?
