"How old are you? Camilla asked as she sat next to him.
"You're older "he said and she sighed knowing he would not tell her exactly how old he was.
"Eduardo, Is not as hard as you think he is , becoming the Capobranco robs a man of everything including ones real self " he said and she shook her head.
"After letting me marry him in wet clothes while he looked like a model on a runaway, I will never forgive him "She said and Ignacio chuckled.
" Fine "he said and her eyes moved over to where Eduardo stood without a definite expression on his face.
She hated the fact that she could not read the man's emotions. He felt stiff and it pissed her off as she watched him shook hands with men from the business.
"Don't you wanna change? "Ignacio asked and she ignored him which made him shake his head at her antics. She's going to come around when it finally done on her that she married Eduardo, and not Romeo.
"Is he gonna let me work "Camilla asked after being silent for sometime.
"It depends on how you breach the topic "he said and she sighed.
" I am emotionally exhausted Ignacio, I feel betrayed "she said, and he smirked.
"You'll get used to it "he said and Camilla frowned as she saw him walk towards a lady who looked like she had something up her sleeves.
Deep down she wondered who that woman was, and what she was saying to Ignacio.
Her eyes moved over to Camilla, and Immediately their eyes met she could swear that the woman was up to no good.
After the reception one of the maids saw her to another room. Immediately they got in Camilla turned with a frown on her face.
"Why did you not tell me I would be moving to Mr Eduardo's room tonight? "She asked and the maid bowed.
"You guys are married now ma'am . I don't think the Capobranco would like that. The girl said, and Camilla stared at her in disbelief.
"Why do you all seem to care about the Capobranco more than you care about me? "She fired angrily and took a deep breath in and out.
Asking that question sound a bit stupid.
"I apologize ma'am "she said and Camilla sighed.
"I will help you change, and get ready for tonight "she said and Camilla walked in front.
His room was huge, and luxurious with a glass view of nature behind the huge curtains.
Everything in the room was in Grey and black. Camilla could not help, but wonder if the man had something against bright colors.
The maid helped her into the bathroom as she changed her clothes, and gave her a massage to calm her nerves.
"What is your name ? "Camilla asked and she smiled.
"Zinnia ma'am "she said, and Camilla smiled.
"Does the Capobranco have another woman? "she could not help, but ask. Zee stared at her in shock.
"I don't think you should ask a poor maid about the Capobranco ma'am"she said and Camilla sighed.
"You are my personal maid right? You're not just going to be someone that serves me, but my sister and friend "Camilla said holding her hands softly.
Zinnia stared at the beautiful woman in the bathtub, and sighed.
"The Capobranco has his women, I believe he's someone who likes his job done and getting into relationships with feelings attached would affect his work so ..."she trailed.
"He visits the escorts " Camilla said as her eyes stung with unshaded tears. What sought of marriage is this.
"Don't think too much about it miss Camilla "she said and Camilla gave a nod.
"Miranda used to be his recent favorite before you guys got married. She works for the Capo and I think she's very submissive "She said and Camilla laughed bitterly.
"Ah, I am sure she wants me dead already. Why was this already sounding like a nightmare ? Miranda must be the woman from earlier " Camila thought as she bit her lower lip.
"Thank you zee"she said, and zee smiled softly.
After the bath, she changed into a comfortable nightwear, and tied the robe properly before walking towards the bed after bidding the maid goodbye.
It was quiet late when Eduardo walked into the room with his hair messed up. He looked very tired as he fiddled with the tie on his neck, if she didn't dislike the man's guts Camilla knew she would be swooning at his beauty.
"Welcome Mr Eduardo"she said and he didn't say anything as he removed his watch and dropped it on the bed.
"I have been waiting for you since " she said, and he still did not say anything as he made his way towards the bathroom.
"I am leaving for Spain tomorrow "she said and he stood on the spot before turning towards her.
Eduardo could not understand if the woman was serious or just getting on his nerves on purpose.
"Your life Is here with me in Sicily "he said and she stared at him with nothing but hatred.
"Haven't you done enough Eduardo? You humiliated me today by dragging me to the alter in wet clothes ,isn't that enough punishment?" She asked as her voice broke at the edge.
"I need to return to work "she said and he stared at her for some time.
"No wife of mine will share what's mine with the general public ." He said calmly and she bit her lower lip trying to be calm.
The way and manner that he remained calm while frustrating her annoyed her more than anything else.
"I AM NOT YOUR PROPERTY ! "She busted angrily.
"Good, let's see how that ends "he said, and she took a deep breath in and out.
"You will not do shoots with only your underwear, common sense Should tell you I don't like it " he said and Camilla stared at the man in disbelief.
"I will not be performing any wifely duties to you Eduardo. This is marriage of convenience "she said and he chuckled bitterly.
"Interesting, very interesting Camilla "he said and went into the bathroom like she did not just drop a bomb on him.
Not performing her wifely duties meant, not even gracing his bed. There was no way she would bring herself to spread her legs for a man as heartless as Eduardo, especially not after what he put her through.
He returned to the room in his nightwear of plain black shirt and sweatpants . Camilla watched in shock as he made his way out of the room without another word.
"What the ..."She cursed under her breath as her eyes moved over to the other side of the bed and then the empty room.
The clock on the wall ticked and she shit her eyes tight as pain spread through her chest.
Camilla stared at him on while sitting on his bed . The man did not spare a glance in her direction as he went about making different business calls.
"Doesn't he sleep at night? "She wondered while staring at him curiously.
"Is there something on my face? "he asked as his hazel eyes met hers. Camilla bit her lower lip.
"You are not saying anything Camilla, I hope you don't have plans of making my night miserable? "he asked and she shook her head.
" It's late , shouldn't you be getting some sleep ? "She asked and he sighed .
"I will go to bed when I dim it fit "he said and she stared at him in disbelief.
"Is this how you work everyday? "She asked him curiously.
"It's late "she said and he sighed.
"Go to bed Camilla, I will go to bed soon "he said and she rolled her eyes.
"Just don't die with your workaholic ways, I am too young to be a widow "She said and he stared at her in amusement.
"I thought you don't want to be in this marriage ? "he asked teasingly.
"That doesn't mean you are permitted to die Eduardo "she said and their eyes locked for a brief moment, before his phone rang making them break the eye contact.
She watched curiously as he walked out of the room. Camilla lay back on the bed as she closed her eyes trying to get some sleep.
Eduardo walked into the room after the phone call and sucked under his breath at the sight in front of him.
Camilla asleep on the bed in his white sleeve shirt which was a bit raised revealing her dark panties that did little to cover her behind.
He looked away, but found himself looking back again. The buttons of the shirt was also undone.
Turning towards the door, he figured it was best he spent the night outside the room, he might end up doing something he did not intend to do.
"Still not asleep yet? "he asked curiously as he noticed his cousin on the couch typing away on her laptop.
