An Italian's Virgin Escort (IRS Book 1)

Chapter 19

Leonardo Point Of View

My grandfather always taught me to grab a chance when it is in your hand itself, otherwise you may not be given such generous opportunity by nature again.

And that's what I did!

I put my learning into action. I had what I wanted in my hand and just grabbing it tight is what needed and I just did that.

I may be called impulsive but I call myself quick witted. I don't take much time in pursuing what I want. I may take time in realizing something but not working on it.

"You are a great woman, no doubt." I whispered slowly with a little fake smile, while dancing, to the lady in my arms.

She shifted from one foot to the other tersely, uncomfortable with my hard tone.

"I- I know―" She started but I cut her off with my own advice for her.

"That's good that you actually know something. You need to think about Niccolo's good and do things that are pleasant for him. Don't you? You are in no status to have a legit relationship with any man nor are you good enough for anyone. You are being his weakness and I will not let him get hurt."

I hope she gets my point. I may be called heartless but this is all I am doing for my friend. I don't want him to spend his precious years of youth in love with a woman he cannot settle with. I know I'm proving to be an evil person here but I don't care what I am as long as it's for my friend.

she looked lost and sad but I'm Leonardo Bianchi and I can detect such lowlife's acting. This is not new to me.

"I-I'm trying to make him realize the same thing. But I know I'm the major threshold in his way so I will... I will..." She choked and tried to get back to her calm self.

"Well, do whatever you like but I do not want Niccolo hurt in any way. You will see hell if he gets hurt by you. I promise." I said immediately with no remorse but somewhere in my cold icy heart, it pricked me for what I did just now.

Just then, another young man in mask came near me asking for the hand in dance of the lady in my arms. As I passed on to her next dance partner, I looked around to spot my Lilliput fiancée and have few comfortable moments with her.

Now that I've fulfilled the duties of a good friend, I should now start fulfill duties of a very very good fiancée for my Lilliput.

Sienna Point of View

I cannot stay here.

I cannot stand in this elite crowd as if I'm one of them and I'm leading a happiest moment of my life.

No I can't.

I... I like Mr. Giant, no doubt. If ever I was allowed to dream for something possible, then I would be dreaming to have true love in my life and spend my life with him. But I'm not allowed for that.

I cannot let the little liking he has for me to get destroyed due to the secret horrendous life I'm living.

I walked out of the party and hailed a cab to go away from here... for now.

I reached my room and fell on bed and cried out for all the things I missed and I'm missing due to having this different life than others.

I cried for myself.

Just then, my room door slowly opened and Rick entered slowly with a tray full of food for me. I hugged him tightly and cried in arms for God knows how many hours and Rick kept on patting my back as a gesture of comforting me.
