I and Alessandro are currently sitting at the back of the limousine, the atmosphere is quiet too quiet for my liking so I take quick glances at Alessandro careful to not let my action be seen and I see he's on his phone probably business.
I pick on my nails finding it more interesting than watching the streets go by in a blur but stop once I feel the gaze of someone at my back then I look back and see Alessandro staring at me directly.
"Uhm why are you staring at me" I say nervously as I try to sit still I hate being stared at for too long it makes me feel like there's something wrong with me, which I know there is but it wouldn't hurt to not know the truth, "your nails stop fiddling with them it's a behavior I find very irritable " he says with his deep voice his Italian accent seeping into his words .
I was about to apologize and say sorry but I am bored and he's probably having fun with his phone while I'm here doing nothing so instead of apologizing I say "well it's my hands and I'll do whatever I like with it " like the annoying brat im known to be .
I brace myself for anger or annoyance, but instead, Alessandro's response catches me off guard. 'We can find other ways to put your hands to good use,' he says with a sly smirk, his eyes glinting with mischief. My cheeks flush instantly, and I feel a surge of embarrassment.
I mentally scold myself "He's a murderer, for crying out loud! Just because he's charming and silver-tongued doesn't mean I should be blushing like a schoolgirl. But my body betrays me, responding to his suggestive tone even as my mind rebels against it.
The car stops and I immediately get out of the car saving myself from the embarrassment and me, I use this opportunity to look at where I'll be spending my next month or maybe lesser in the house.
But the sight I see is one so marvelous find myself gawking at the mansion it's a two story structure with a dark gray roof that contrasts beautifully against the light beige walls.
The front porch is adorned with a wooden swing, gently swaying in the evening breeze. The windows are large and rectangular, framed with white shutters that add a touch of elegance. A winding path leads up to the front door, flanked by vibrant flower beds bursting with colorful blooms.

(This is the house and I'm sorry I didn't really describe it well I'll edit it later and make sure to meet up to your standards)
I'm so mesmerised by the view I forget my hatred towards Alessandro, that a smile is plastered on my face as I take in all the details.
Just as I'm about to ask Alessandro if he lives here only I remember how I was forced to marry him, then I became angry I was angry at myself for forgetting my mission for a second, angry at Alessandro for forcing me to marry him and angry at my father for being alive.
Without thinking I make my way to the front porch and press the doorbell I ring it a couple of times an no one answers I'm about to ask Alessandro if his doorbell is faulty until I see the door open by the most beautiful woman I've ever seen she looks so young that she will pass off as a woman in her twenties but the wrinkles in her cheek line betray that false youth, her smile is curling upward and I can feel optimism radiating off her as if she had no problems in the world , she has the same green eyes as Alessandro though.
"What are you doing out here mama " I hear the deep voice is my husband at the back so she's his mother then, I noticed the faint familiarity between them but the woman surprises me as she takes my hand "is this your wife, what are you doing outside dear, why didnt you invite her in " the older woman answers his question with questions of hers and I can't help but smile.
She leads me inside where the inside looks better than the outside, impossibly so as we walk down the long hallway I see some famous artworks that I recognize Salvator Mundi, Number 17A and many more the hallway basically looks like a museum that is beautified with artworks and lights etched onto the wall making it seem so bright.
We make our way Into the living room with Alessandro trailing at our back, he living room looks more simple than the other rooms it's coated with white that smells as if it has just been painted, it looks awfully big with a large led tv at one side an ivory dark oak table in the middle and a small sculpture on the table there are black couches that are arranged in the room that take the form of an O which is where she leads me to.
She sits me down and start asking me questions about my marriage if it was too my liking as she was the one that arranged everything except from the dress which was picked by Alessandro I want to look at him when I hear he's the one who chose the is dress for me but I already feel him staring at me and it makes the hair ok my neck rise.
She asks if there were any casualties and if I liked the venue in which I told her how Alessandro used a knife to force me to wed him she doesn't comment about the forceful past but she comments about the knife cutting part "that is no way to treat a lady, this is not how I raised you mi Amor " she loose at Alessandro with stern eyes which makes me feel a bit just a but pity towards him but I clear it out when she excuses herself saying she wants to go get her husband.
Immediately she left I felt too aware of the fact that Alessandro is beside me and the fact that someone is glaring right at me, if I should look Im pretty sure I'll meet myself 10ftbelow the ground and see my mother so I make no move to turn .
Then I see a figure approaching down the staircase this must be her husband I thought until the figure becomes clearer and my body immediately pales like I've seen a ghost "John"
