DESIRE 🔞

Chapter 3

Ana's POV

It was a quiet ride to the Donati mansion. Lucas never spoke to me. He just set there busy with his phone and a straight look on his face.

I even put my radio on which he just switched of. He's such a grumpy bum!

I honestly feel sorry for his future wife or his girlfriend.

We were almost at the mansion when Lucas got a phone call. Which he answered and I think my virgin kitty just got wet. 😩

"È tutto pronto per il mio incontro alle 4:30? Assicurati che tutto sia perfetto, questo è enorme per i nostri affari"... "Fantastico, ci vediamo lì"
("Is everything ready for my meeting at 4:30? Make sure everything is perfect, this is massive for our business"... "Great see you there")

I don't know what the hell has me so hot and bothered, I don't even know what he was saying! I'm a sucker for men speaking different languages!

Once we arrived it was already around 3 o'clock and they were all in the lounge watching TV and relaxing around.

I joined them talking for a bit  and mum made us all some tea. It was so nice just talking, until dad asked me to come to his office he needs to speak to me.

I made my way to his office following behind him. I set in a chair across from him, he sat fingers crossed on the table.

I felt nervous, he looks like he has something very serious to talk about.

"Analia, firstly I want to tell you that I really do care for you and I love you like my own daughter. There is just a few things I've been keeping away from you and now since Lucas is finally here and you are in a better space of mind since your father's passing, I think it's time we come clean" just as he said that, Lucas walked in,with his usual stern face. I looked at him weirdly. Lucas stood by the wall watching me as dad spoke.

"uhm okay.." I said. Mr Donati walk over to his filling cabinet and pulled out a file. He came over to me and placed it in front of me. "I want you to read this document and once you're done I will explain everything." he said.

I lifted up the file and opened it to see a single sheet of paper and started reading.

I was speechless, tears rolled down my face. I didn't know what to think or do at this point. I sat looking between Lucas and Javier, waiting for one of them to say something, anything. As I looked at them I realized this agreement was signed two months before my mother passed away.
