An Italian's Conceited King (IRS Book 3)

Chapter 32

Valentina Point of View

"It's like a dream come true."

"Si, a bad dream indeed."

"Age is never a worry to your beauty, Val."

"Sadly, you only have age and no beauty."

This is not their fault. It is mine. I have no brain and whatever I have is not working right. Otherwise why the hell would I agree to this arrangement?

I am at the fault here.

I cannot blame none but me.

"You are quite, Val; whatever happened to the talkative monster." Demetri amused himself with his own commentary and I played along giving him a playful grin which I'm not at all in a mood for.

This morning, Demetri dumped himself to Bianchi house to take his so called fiancée on a lunch date. Seemingly, he was quite busy with new cases recently and has been itching to spend time with me so much.

His words, not mine!

So he came unannounced to take me on a lunch date. Fortunately, Arran took Agustin to meet Luci just before Demetri arrived.

Arran and Luci had been very active in digging the mysteries of Regio family and their involvement with the Garcia family's misfortunes. Royal pig believes that the Regio family must have some kind of involvement; if not in the assassination epic, they are surely giving a helping hand to Tio Matias.

Taking that into account, I enthusiastically agreed to go on a date to try getting any kind of information from Demetri himself. But Arse had personally ordered to only play a happy bride of Demetri and not to get involved otherwise.

I understand he was making sure no one can doubt me and he doesn't want to make any kind of trivial errors. However, it was Demetri who asked out on a date himself so if I can play my part well, I might find something that might help us in future.

Except, the Oscar winning annoying pig had a Bluetooth in my ear and he was on the call all along with an excuse of recording the conversation.

Like seriously?

"Are you taking up the case against Miller's? I heard the lady of Guinne is adamant to get you as her lawyer." I asked putting all the interest I can gather up into the topic.

I heard a sarcastic snicker from the other side of the call and a smug laugh from our very own pig.

"I wonder if you are playing dumb or did our passionate make out from last night blew your mind up." I heard pig in my ear.

Trust me when I say that I am a person who doesn't get affected very easily but with the swine virtually still present there and giving his useless commentary only I could hear, I'm loosing my cool.

The smile that was directed to Demetri wavered a little when pig so casually reminded me of that ominous make out in the bathroom while he is cleaning off my son's pee off him.

"She is. Although she has pretty strong evidences on Miller's domestic violence against her, she is still equally wrong in the case. She was the one who conned their business and almost threw them on streets few years ago. So – I'm not ready to take this case for now." I hummed in understanding and patted his hand as an effort of encouragement.

Demetri's eyes sparkled and his smile almost blinded his eyes and my eyes too.

"I see." I commented back while Pig snickered arrogantly again.

"Miller's second daughter was in talks to be married to Demetri's third cousin. No matter how wrong and bad they are, he will not go against them, at least not now when Matias is making strong moves against us."
