"Vincenzo." I called with a serious face.

"Amore?" He replied back looking at my face.

We were watching a movie when a thought crossed my mind and I couldn't help but want to ask him a question which has been lingering on my mind since two days.

I was not someone who overthinks but that matter made me feel something was off. The inner me was opposing the thoughts I had come to believe.

"Who was he?" I asked looking back at the screen where the movie was being played on the T.V.

I just couldn't look at his face and asked the question. He had already given me the answer but I did not know why my inner thoughts were not accepting the fact.

"Who?" He asked sounding confused as if could not figure who 'he' I was asking about.

And I knew that he wouldn't remember. I kept quite for a few minutes. He didn't make a sound neither do I and the sound from the movie sounded in the living area.

"The man from the day before yesterday?" I turned my head to looked at his face and our eyes met looking at each other.

I wanted to forget about it but no, I had to make things clear otherwise it would hunt me for awhile. We were in our honeymoon and it would be bad if that thought kept me from enjoying our wonderful moment.

"Is he really a spy?" I asked while staring straight into his eyes.

He paused as if my question took him off guard or he was not expecting me to ask him about that man out of blue and he too stare into my eyes letting me see any change in his emotion.

"He was found snooping around our territory with a gun in his hand." He sigh and said while holding my hands.

"I wasn't going to tell you bu-" He looked sadden as if saying his wife didn't believe him and my chest hurt when that thought cross my mind.

"No. You don't have to say further. I understand." I felt guilty of doubting his men which meant doubting him and looked down at our joined hand as I couldn't face him.

"It's alright. Let me make things clear." He insisted and made me look at him by placing his hand on my chin.

"It's good that you ask me if something is upsetting you. This shows that you trust me." He said with a wide smile plastered on his handsome face and bend down to peck on my forehead.

"He had injured one of my men and when he was questioned he didn't speak a word. Later he ran away and stumbled upon you."

"He pleaded cause he felt that you are an innocent soul who will forgive him but Amore he would have used you to get out of here while injuring you after he succeed in getting away." He tighten his hold on our joined hand and his muscles tensed along with his voice.

"I have promised to never let you be in any kind of danger so I couldn't just let him be. My men are checking his detail but till now that man hadn't spoken a word."

"Then he must be a spy sent from your rivals. I heard that while doing business there are enemies at every corner." That's what I have learned through those novels I had read to pass my time.

"Haha. My wife knows a lot about rivals and enemies." He laughed and teased me while shaking his head.

"Hey! That's what I know." I tried to break away our hand looking annoyed but he pulled me into his arm.

"Amore. Thank you for believing me." He hugged me tight and sounded emotional.

"Zeta." Someone shook my arm making me come out the memory lane and looked to see Owen with a tensed face.

"You know him?" Rosaline asked me sounding excited as if she got some clue.

"Wait. You have got a girlfriend!" She exclaimed with a naughty smile etched on her face and picked up the photograph from the floor.

"You know your uncle was waiting to meet the girl who will make you fall in love." Before Owen or I could refute, Rosaline continued sounding emotional and the words of denial stuck on my throat.

"Rosaline! Stop spewing nonsense." Owen shouted with a harsh glare directed at her.

"What? What did I say wrong?" She asked sounding innocent after examining his serious face.

"We are just friend." He spat out making it clear with the way he spoke that don't-misunderstand-us.

"Kay. I got it." She said with a knowing smile plastered on her face and glance at Owen then at me which made me feel uncomfortable. 

It confirmed that she still was having wrong idea about us but she looked like, she wouldn't change her views even though we give a brief explanation. As if understanding my discomfort, Owen turned his head towards me and said "Let her be."

I nodded in reply and he motioned me to sit down on the chair beside him. Then I realized that I was still standing like a complete fool. Biting my lips and tucking my baby hairs behind my ears, I seated down on the chair which Owen had pulled for me. 

"You know he had promised to take me to the ferries wheel but he..." Rosaline sighed looking heartbroken and looked up at Owen with tear filled eyes.

My eyes widen when I saw tears slipping down her cheeks and she just looked at Owen looking as if Owen had bullied her. Her sudden change of expression startled me and I was like was-she-the-one-who-had-a-naughty-smile-plastered-on-her-face.

"Hello! Mam, are you okay?" A waiter came to asked Rosaline a minute later after her outburst and then only she wiped away her tears telling the waiter that she was feeling overwhelmed. 

"You know I am not gonna fall for your useless tactics so just answer my fucking question." Owen growled not giving her face and an evil laugh sounded from Rosaline.

"I knew that you are far more intelligent than your police uncle. But you are still a kid so your uncle had made me promised to keep my mouth shut."

"But you are forcing me to speak out. Then listen." She lean her body towards us showcasing us her cleavage.    

"I gave him a tip about the illegal production of military weapons " She said while lowering down her volume.

"Where?" Owen questioned after a minute of silence.

"Italy."
