Ciara.

I went home with a torn heart.

What happened between Amore and I is something special and regret is the last emotion I would feel with the moments I share with him.

I wash my clothes and run another bath.

When I was done, I hurry up to prepare our dinner.

It's seven fifteen o'clock. Fuck it...

I just fried some fish, matching it with egg rice.

I was setting the plates when Miguel arrived.
As usual, his sweet smile welcomed me.
"Goodevening, sunshine..." he smiled.

"Goodevening, my love..." I opened my arms to welcome him for an embrace.

He embraced me then kisses my cheek. "I have something for my beautiful queen..."

I took a sniff, it's a rose.

"A long stemmed rose for the fairest queen there is to exist..." he handed me the flower.

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I forced out a smile.
"T-Thank you so much, my love. You didn't have to bother..."

"Don't thank me and that isn't a bother... It's my responsibility as your mate, sweetpea."

"I know... but---

"No buts, babe." he grinned.

I nodded.
"H-How is work?"

His shoulders fell. His grin's now gone.
"Tiring as usual."

I kissed his jaw.
"You must be starving..."

He nodded.
"Yeah but I would take a quick bath first then we'll eat, okay?"

I nodded in agreement.
"Okay..."

"Good... Don't miss me too much..." he kissed my forehead and sped to the room.

I held the bracelet tight. I missed him...

Amore...
What is he doing now?

I shook my head.

Why am I thinking of him with Miguel around?!

I snarled at myself.

I let out a heavy sigh as I continue setting the dinner.

It didn't take long for him to return here in the dining room.

"You looked tired, darling. Are you okay?" he asked softly. Concern fills his voice.

"I-I'm fine... I just want to rest earlier tonight, that's all."

"Are you having a headache? or something making you uncomfortable now? Somewhere in you hurting?"

My heart... My heart's hurting, Miguel...

But there's no fucking way I would say it to his face.

I shook my head.
"Nope, I'm just tired I guess. It's been a long day."

He nodded.
"After eating, you go straight to bed. I'll do the dishes..."

"But-----

"Ciara baby, if you're tired, you rest."
