~~ ANTONIO ~~

I make the call, Kian and Ben said they would be here soon. I can tell that Freya is nervous. She's pacing back and forth in the kitchen. I get a hold of her and pull her into my embrace. She wrap her arms around my waist and press her head against my chest.

"Thank you for being this amazing."

"No problem, babe."

She stand on her tippy toes and kiss me softly. A little moan escaped her lips.

"You're so hot when you sound like that."

"You're so hot, all the time."

I chuckle and the door bell rings.

"Shit! Promise me not to leave me alone with them."

I nod.

"I promise."

"Thanks."

We go and get the door.

"Hey. Thank you for letting us come."

"No problem, Kian."

"Yeah. No problem."

Kian gives Freya a genuine smile.

"So this is you big brother Benjamin."

"Hey, it's nice to finally meet you."

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you too."

He takes my hand and shake it before he pull me into a hug.

"Come on, let's have a drink and get this weird tension lose."

"I like the sound of that."

We walk into the living room and take a seat by the bar. I pull Freya closer to me.

"So how old are you?"

Freya look at Ben.

"27 and you?"

"21."

"I have to say I'm sorry that I killed your mom. I know she meant a great deal to you but to me she was a heartless bitch that gave up on her son and took my daughter away. Then she tried to do the same thing that she left me."

She was a heartless bitch. Sure she was all I had and she fed me, put clothes on my body, made sure I could stand up for myself, but she never really cared about me. She only cares about her lovers, money and parties."

I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"Well, I know she thought that this arrangement would ne the end for you but I'd never promise you away to a cruel family. I made sure you'd be in the hands of a safe and kind family."

"Thank you, I guess and Antonio have been nothing but sweet and kind towards me. I really think I'm falling for him."

My heart flutters when she says that.

"The feeling is mutual."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"Me to."

We spend the rest of the night talking and laughing. Freya seems to enjoy herself and I can just hope that she wants some kind of relationship with Kian, now when she knows the truth. I hope she wants to have a relationship with Ben to. At might night they head out and we go upstairs. We cuddle up in the bed.

"I can't believe that all this is happening. I mean, what are the odds that we actually are about to fall in love with each other?"

I smile.
