Third-person POV:
When Lucia was lusting over Matteo's body, Jacques interrupted them by asking, "Where's your boyfriend, Lucie?" Then Matteo shook his hands off, rolling his eyes he turned towards Leo completely ignoring Lucia and Jacques. Jacques and Lucia boarded the front car, while Leo took the wheels for the second, Matteo joined Leo and sped off without another word. "They'll be coming, this afternoon. You're to be ready", said her brother. "Ready for what?" "First lemme ask you, Are you really into this arranged marriage? apart from Dad's will. you never liked that family." Lucia's brother was curious, he had always thought that his sister hated Matteo for letting their dad die. But the answer his sister gave shocked him to the core. "Matteo was my first love. God, he's still hot." Jacques looked disgusted at his sister and said, "WHAT??" Lucia chuckled and got inside the car. They drove to Lucia's apartment. A buff-looking man unloaded the luggage from the car's trunk. Jacques entered the dusty room, sliding his suitcase behind him. it mostly looked like a dormitory, with four bunk beds and a combined study at the center. Makeup Cosmetics were scattered all along the table and the beds. "You can have the empty bed." Jacques plopped on the bed and took his suitcase, opening it, he gave her a little box.
For a second Lucia looked confused, cause her brother never bothered to give her presents even for her birthdays. "What's that?" Lucia picked up the box and opened it. A sapphire-adorned necklace was in it, the Gray family's heirloom. "Matteo asked me to give it to you. He wants you to wear it from now on." Lucia picked it up, last time she saw this necklace, it was in Mrs. Gray's neck. Her hands trembled when she took them in her hands. Tears fell from her face, Lucia had loved her. Whenever Lucia lost a fight or was upset, she would give Lucia her favorite hot chocolate. Lucia wiped the tears that flowed through her jawline, she looked one last time at the necklace before closing the box. Her phone rang, and Andrea's drooling picture was visible through it. "Is he here yet?" her voice was echoing with excitement. "Yeah, he's here." even though Lucia tried to sound bored, Jacques caught her and smirked. "hey wait someone's calling", Lucia put Andrea on hold and looked at the name flashed on her screen.
She hesitated a bit before answering it. "Hello?", "I thought you were busy for a second.", Matteo's voice sounded worried on the other side. "No, It's just my friend.", Lucia tried to sound calm. "oh right. You can continue then. call me when you get free. I'll hang up." "No, no, no. She already hung up so it's okay." she hit herself in the face When she heard a laugh from the other side. "So it's like this. Leo told me that you're gonna talk to your boyfriend about this arrangement today. I want to accompany you when you meet him." She understood the assignment, it's not a request but an order. "Sure, umm when are you free?", she asked him. "well if you ask me, I came here to get you. so, I'm all yours until we get back." Lucia's heart went BADAMP, BADAMP, BADAMP her cheeks burned, "Ummm Um Okay, I'll see you two hours from now." she forgot to speak for a second, "I'll pick you up, tell your boyfriend to meet us in Dweller's cafe and oh, remember to wear the necklace I gave you." "Hmm okay. Bye" She waited a little before hanging up, hoping Matteo would say something else. Without disappointing her, his deep voice echoed once more. "I'll see you soon, princess." then he hung up. She turned around to look at Jacques, hoping he didn't see anything. but his eyes were fixed on her the whole time. "Are you the Lucia I know?" he scoffed. "You just don't know your sister then." she picked up the necklace box and placed it on her dressing table. "Whatever, I'll take a nap." Jacques stretched his legs on the bed and started to doze off. Lucia took that time and called her boyfriend, "Hey Ben" "Babe, the party tonight at Zion's, are you going?" his side was so noisy and the sound of giggles was echoing. "It's so noisy on your side."
