Enzo

I expected some form of reaction but got nothing as I began to tell her the whole story.
"Ever since she found out I got married she has been after me none stop. I keep telling her to leave me alone but she won't stop, even though she is married to another man. We met straight after university when Lorenzo and I were still starting off with our business. My parents are wealthy yes, but we wanted to make our own money hence the creation of Loren. Seeing another man who had more money she left me on the day of our wedding, claiming she was in love with another when clearly she was in love with his money. It has been two years since we last spoke as I let her go and turned all my anger and frustration into the company. I don't know why she is doing this now even when I told her I am in love with my wife," her eyes widened in surprise as I gave her a small smile looking down.

My family would have a field day if they knew I was confessing such emotions after how I had acted these past two years.
"Don't ask me when or how, but all I know is what I feel for you is different from what I felt for her. Hate me all you want but know that my heart beats for you alone," I told her taking her hand placing it over my chest.
"I would like to date you my wife. If you don't want this then can we start of as friends, who don't see other people but just each other," I quickly added. There was no way I was going to let another man take her away from me.
"But isn't that dating already if I am not seeing other men," she asked with a smirk.
"As long as those rules apply call it whatever you want, mi amor."

Olivia and Lorenz stood at the kitchen entrance surprised to see what was transpiring. I was actually laughing whole heartedly, something I hadn't done in a while. Ruva looked a bit more relaxed than before as she ate her food which I must say was a lot.
"You owe me a morning walk, since I had to babysit you this morning."
"What! I didn't need babysitting."
"Boy do I wish there were cameras in here; then you would swallow those words you just uttered," she said with a smile.

"I hope you guys left something for us," Lorenz said breaking our banter.
"Your food is in the oven," I said turning to Ruva.
"Can we go home now?"
She frowned slightly looking at her friend. Olivia seemed to tell her yes as she turned to me saying, alright.
Standing up the couple saw us off as Lorenz teased his little brother.

"If he gives you any problems, make him sleep outside. The cold seemed to knock some sense into him," Lorenz said leaning on the car as they buckled in.
"You might be onto something Lorenz," she chortled.
"See you tomorrow at the party then," he said.
"Wait what party?" She asked looking at me in surprise as I pulled the car out of Lorenz's driveway.

"It's my parents anniversary tomorrow," I told her with a smile, wondering how our own anniversaries would be spent.
"Why didn't you tell me," she shrieked making me laugh.
"Relax, everything is taken care of."
"What do you mean everything is taken care of. I don't have a dress!"
Remaining silent we drove into town passing the restaurant which had served me raw food.
"Wait why is the restaurant closed?"

"Because I had it closed. I'm thinking of opening one of your bakeries there," I said focusing on the road as she looked at me appalled.
Pulling up to a hotel we walked in. The staff were practically kissing the ground we were walking on as they greeted us. Using a private elevator we went straight to my penthouse. The view was magnificent as I stood by the balcony breathing in some fresh air. The doorbell rang and a bellboy came in with two bags. Finding Ruva rummaging in the refrigerator I was amazed at how much she could take in.
"Here you go," I told her startling her as she was taking a bite of her apple.
