The morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. I was lying in my bed, my thoughts a tangled mess from the revelation of the previous day. I couldn't sleep all night, and it was still early in the morning. I decided to get up and walk around, roam the house. As it was early, I was not expecting anyone to be awake. I was wearing an oversized hoodie of Enzo's. He had actually set up my whole closet-my God, the closet is bigger than my room. I hadn't worn anything from it yet; I preferred staying in his hoodie. Besides, I was not well, so I decided to keep wearing the hoodie he gave me the night I came here.

As I wandered through the house, I was astonished by its size. This mansion had everything-Enzo had his own studio, cinema, gaming area, massage room, pool, gym, and practically all the amenities one could dream of. If I had to stay here, I would never get bored; this house had everything I could want.

As I continued exploring, I made my way towards the gym.

When I reached the gym door, I saw him
Working out. He was wearing sweatpants and nothing else. His bare chest, muscular body, and that perfectly toned body, gave him the Greek god look. He had a tattoo on his back-a snake tattoo. And on his arm, there was a huge tattoo. I didn't know what it was, but it was there. I was so stunned looking at him. His body was intimidating. I felt a sensation deep within me , my body craving his body.

{ What? What on earth is happening to me? Why am I feeling like this towards him? I reminded myself that he is Enzo Moritti. }

As I was staring at him, I didn't notice when he turned towards me and called my name. "Elena? What are you staring at?"

"Nothing." I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me. A smirk appeared on his lips as he slowly walked closer to me. "Do you need anything, Elena?"

"No, I don't need anything." He was coming closer. My words got stuck in my mouth, and I couldn't speak properly.

"Ok, come, let's have breakfast."

"I... I need to change. I will just get freshened up first." He came so close to me that his breath was warm on my forehead. He leaned in closer to my ear and whispered, "Go, freshen up then. I will be waiting for you at the breakfast table."

With that, I moved towards my room, my face probably as red as a tomato from the embarrassment. I had been staring at him awkwardly. Why? What was I doing? Did he notice that I was... Did he notice something in my eyes? I didn't know.

I freshened up and took a bath, feeling rejuvenated after three days. Enzo had taken such good care of me, and I felt immense gratitude towards him. I wore a tank top and trousers, and since I was going to stay at home, I let my hair air-dry. After finishing my routine, I went downstairs towards the dining area. Not seeing anyone there, I made my way to the kitchen, and there he was again-still in those trousers and nothing else. He was cooking and looked absolutely stunning. The sight of him cooking was so adorable.
