"𝐆io doesn't want to?" I ask him.

Leo and the others looked at me sadly, "I'm sorry, princess. I don't know whats going on in his mind but you don't worry about that. He'll come around you soon, hm?"

I noded. Leo took his car keys and went out.

Giovanni didn't come to spend a day with me. It was his turn. I didn't even see him for a few days. He rarely came out of his room. I hope he's okay.

He was the one I was most likely looking forward to spend a day with. 

I shake my head, I hope he doesn't regret donating me but then again why would he? He did it on his own will. He chose this.

"So where are we going?" I ask Leo as he starts the car.

"Dress shopping, for the Mafia balls," he said excitedly.

"Woah okay!" I said with the same excitement.

"We'll need something unique, something Exquisite, you know! For all the five balls with two special ones cause you'll be introduced in the mafia this time. I'm so excited!!"

I chuckle at his excitement.

"

I'm gonna get you something princessy," he dreamed.

"No."

"Why?" He frowned.

I shrugged, "My wish."

He huffed, "Princess dresses are so cool."

"Alright we'll choose one for you."

Not even a few minutes later, we were parked outside a huge dress shop. Lep said it's the best one here. So why not?

We opened the glass doors and went inside. Employee were filled with highly expensive dresses for both men and women.

One was the lady's in looked to be in her mid- thirties came upto us and shook hands with Leo. She greetd him then turned to me.

"Hello, welcome to Opulent Apparel. I'm Marcy, Leo told me you're coming," she said with a kind smile.

"Hi, Nice to meet you. I'm Athena," I shook hands with her.

"Please come with us. We will first take your measurements and then we'll show you the dresses accordingly and don't worry. We have every type of dresses here in every size. Feel free to chose and please do tell us if you feel uncomfortable."

Nah, she deserves a raise.

"Thank you so much Marcy, Athena go with them and I'll be here after you give your measurements."

I noded and went inside with the lady.

Three wowen came up to me with measuring tapes and notebooks. They took all measurements. Even someplaces I didn't knew existed.

After that Marcy handed me a strapless nude body suit with an inbuilt bra so I could try the dresses on top. There were only female employees so I wasn't uncomfortable with anything.

Marcy handed me my first dress for the trail. Then she left to call Leo. I went inside the trial room with a huge mirror on one hall. I took out the dress from it's suit bag. It was an emerald colour strapless dress with a slit on the left side. To say it was beautiful would be an understatement. This dress screamed elegance and power. I want to squeal.
