Luciano's pov
"Buon pomeriggio signore." Translation: Good afternoon sir.
"Pomeriggio Nicolo, Lorenzo." Translation: Afternoon. I greeded back to my men. Quickly finishing up on a signed contract I look up, putting the peace of paper to the side seeing that the work was done correctly and peacefully as it should have been. Noticing the look Lorenzo giving me I knew that a new business partner was on its way, soon bringing in the money. Giving a solid nod I stood up from my seat.
Walking out of the office with Lorenzo and Angelo, my capo, we headed out of the house and patiently waited for the arrival of a rival familia, the Russo's.
I wasn't excited to have them over but it was must, considering that I would have to talk to the don over some business as well as the marriage proposal of their daughter.
"Assicurati che Elena non esca dalla sua stanza a meno che non te lo dica." Translation: Make sure Elena doesn't step out of her room unless told to.
When we were in the party and Elena left to use the restroom Serena, the woman I consider a snake as well as the daughter of Mr. Russo decided to pull me to the side and threaten me. There's reasons why I don't want to marry her or even consider dating that thing and one of those reasons is that she obsesses over whoever she falls for.
Knowing her she's showing up to this invite that was only meant for her father, and probably try to get us by ourselves so she can try charming me. Never works out, and to think she would just take the hint and try with someone else.
Hearing Angelo's phone ring he quickly picks it up and answers. Hearing him say 'okay' he hangs up and informs me that the Russo's have arrived. Seeing the gates opening from afar a white blinged out Mercedes car drove in. I knew it. With a small hand gesture I sent Lorenzo inside to check on Elena, to make sure she isn't seen.
How dare Serena even come after threatening my tesoro. She's an unwanted guest and she will know that as soon as she steps out of that damn car. Coming to a halt the car turns off, the back two doors open up revealing the don and her. Plastering my cold look I stood tall as both of them along with a guard walked towards me.
"Pomeriggio Mr. Russo." Extending my hand to shake his hand he returns the gesture. Choosing to ignore Serena I turn my back on them and began walking. As the both of them walked behind me I lead them through my house and to the backyard where more of my guards surrounded the area.
"Per favore siediti." Translation: Please sit down. Sitting down across from them the both sit down, not liking the situation that i'm going to be put in. From the corner of my eye I could see Serena adjusting her shirt, lowering it slightly to expose her cleavage as if I would be hypnotised by them.
"Iniziamo"

Elena's pov
'Woah.' Staring at the Tv screen I felt myself get flustered as a s****l scene popped up from a movie. I wasn't used to these types of scenes, considering that this was my first movie i've seen that contained s****l content... I have been missing out that's for sure.
"Kiss me you fool." Slightly tilting my head to side I watched as the couple aggressively made out. As they hit wall after wall I began to think if this is what males like.... Is this what Luciano would like? Shaking my head at the thought I continued to watch the movie. I felt myself inch forwards as both of the actors took off their clothes, leaving the males chest exposed as well as the females. It's getting hot in here!
'I should be doing something.' I told myself as I continued to look at the screen excitedly. I feel guilty again. The way I was brought up is making me want to just help out but I can't, I could get someone fired and apparently I'm not allowed to do anything work related.
"Elena-"
"EEEK!" I squield out loud as I jumped off of the couch, I was caught! I frantically scrambled around to grab the remote to pause the movie, I failed miserably since instead of clicking the pause button I fast forwarded the movie causing a nude scene to show up on the tv. I fully embarrassed myself.
"S-Sorry!" I stutter out as I avoided eye contact to whoever came up. I felt my cheeks heat up even more noticing that it was Lorenzo. Oh dear god.
"Sorry to interrupt, but you must stay in your room until told so." No problem I wanna hide from this embarrassing moment!
"O-Okay." Leaving the remote on the seat I stand up straight and rushed out of the living room, running up the stairs and into my bedroom. I made sure to lock the door before I threw myself onto my bed, burying my face into pillows as I hide myself from shame and embarrassment.
Lorenzo just saw me watching an erotic movie and I was enjoying it... This isn't me.
Lifting my face from my pillow I turn my head to side, watching out of the window as I noticed the clouds were slowly changing to a different color. Watching the sky brought back memories when I was back home with my sister. Letting out a sigh I realized that I was starting to get home sick, I was missing my sister the most since I spent every moment with her.
Sitting up from my bed I look over at the nightstand, noticing that the phone Lorenzo gave me was sitting there. Over the past few days Luciano gave me a new phone, it being an Iphone x. It was something completely different from what I'm used to and I didn't like it. I'm not meant for the spoiled treatment, I don't feel comfortable with this and he knows that. Reaching over for the phone I unlock it. Not bothering to do anything else but call I go into my contacts, there only being three. My mother, my father, and my sister. I knew that right now my parents would be working, my sister should be asleep at this time since their six hours ahead of us.
'Do it.' Debating whether to call my sister or leave her be I clicked on the call button. Hearing the other end buzzing I place the phone onto my ear as I laid back down on my side, staring out of the window, just enjoying the sky.
"Hello..."
"Angelina? You're up?" Hearing a small gasp and frantict footsteps I knew she was up past her bedtime.
"You finally call me after so long? I thought you were dead!" A small smile appears, she was genuinely concerned and I haven't heard that from her in a while since I always cared and protected her.
"I'm surprised that you even answer my phone call considering that you have school in the morning."
"I'm used to having someone in the house, knowing that you arn't here I can't exactly fall asleep as fast so I just do my late homework..."
Shaking my head at her we continued to talk to each other. Luckily during our call she ignored her homework and went to bed, falling asleep on the call since it gave her the sense that I was with her again. It made me a little sad that she had gotten used to me being around her 24/7 and now that I'm gone she feels empty. I wish I could do something for her to help her out but I can't unless I talk to my parents about hiring a nanny or something.
Hanging up the phone I place it back on the nightstand, a small smile appeared. I enjoyed our small conversation but I wish I could just go over there and visit her, she's my little sister and if I could I might have brought her over here with my parents consent.
Deciding to sit up from the bed I continued to look over at the window, wondering how beautiful the backyard would be looking at this time. Standing up I walk over to it, stopping right in front of it to observe the forest area.
'What the?' Noticing men sited up in black surrounding the yard I raised an eyebrow up as I looked at them, What was going on? Was there a threat? Continuing to look around I realized that everyone was looking around, as if they were making sure no entruters would come in... Okay this is sketchy... Continuing to look around my eyes settled onto two people. Squinting my eyes to see who the woman was that was with him I immediately regret. My eyes go wide upon realization... It was the same woman that was at the party and I knew she hated me...
Hugging myself I tried to stop myself from shattering as my crush on Luciano was slowly getting destroyed. The woman was getting all onto him. Seeing him push her back slightly I observed as she pulled her shirt up above her chest, exposing it to him as she was bouncing. Not wanting to witness anything else and realizing that this was just a mistake and that I shouldn't have gotten a crush on him or even like him... Complete and utter disappointment.
"I want you to fall in love with me."
Sitting down on the edge of my bed I look at my lap, wondering if he even meant that. I don't know the man, he seems like a complete sweetheart but what I just saw could there be more to it? He's a womanizer that's for sure due to his looks. He could be a player, he could use me... Ugh! Letting my back hit the bed I shut my eyes. He was enjoying it... He has every right to, I'm not his girlfriend, I'm not his wife... I'm nothing, just some random person that's in Italy...
Suck it up! He offered me a job, I'm here because I had nowhere else to turn to as this was just sudden, my family, especially my sister needs this kind of support and this is why I accepted it. It was a lot of money and I couldn't pass it up. I don't care what he says I'm going to do what originally was supposed to be my job, I'm going to lie and tell them that I start work tomorrow and hopefully no one notices.
