On the cruise deck, Selena was sunbathing while drinking an iced lemon tea.
" Ah, This is life!"
She sighed with pleasure, glancing at the handsome man swimming in the pool. When her husband's muscles were flexing in the water, she could feel the eyes of female passengers on his body. She had a smug smile on her face.
' That's right bitches, he is my man.'
Well, Selena was not proud of her inner self and had not shown her liking for cursing at anyone.
Who would like a girl with a foul mouth?
Her toughness and lack of ladylike qualities were a result of her growing up in a slum where it was not possible to be shy and polite. Her lifestyle was like that Until she was granted scholarships to a renowned high school and was able to escape her dreadful living conditions. In that place, she met Tina, who had taught her to let go of her unkind way of speaking and behaviour and become herself. There was no need to fight tooth and nail to survive there. From time to time, she employed curse words when self-analyzing.
" Hey Gorgeous, What is on your mind?"
Matteo's voice brought her back to the present. She gave her husband a suggestive glance and took a meaningful sip from her drink.
The act of swallowing and licking her moist lips caused a spark to ignite within Matteo's body. Suddenly, he felt thirsty even though he was in cool water. His Adam apple moved gulping, endeavoring to suppress his thirst. With a hoarse voice, he threatened Selena.
" Behave yourself. If you don't want me to pounce on you in a public place and rip off that sexy swimsuit for your body."
Selena's laughter was filled with relish, as she enjoyed every reaction her husband had towards her. The sensation of being desired was something she had not previously experienced.
Unfortunately, their pink bubble lasted only a short time. Matteo was suddenly surrounded by two women.
"The muscle is impressive! "
While displaying obvious filtering in her sweet voice, one of them attempted to hold Matteo's arm.
Selena had been used to seeing women throw themselves at her husband at every opportunity. Her eyes flashed with an amused light. Her expression did not change despite two women trying to snatch her husband.
Selena's reaction was being watched by the other girl, who was anticipating her reaction of anger and jealousy. She and her friend had a passion for sabotaging the couple's honeymoon and romantic mood, and they had a fondness for watching them suffer and fight. But this time, her smirk was frozen on her face when her friend's shrieking echoed in the pool instead of the woman who was the lover of the handsome man.
Matteo had a strong aversion to people who became a third party in a relationship. He who was the product of these despicable and shameless people could not tolerate this kind of action just because of the spur of the moment of sexual pleasure or satisfying their twisted desire. His dealings with them were rough. Well, he had the capital to be arrogant and confident in harming them.
When the woman moved her hand towards him, he yanked her wrist and spun it hard.
Even in a million years, The woman would not have expected this outcome from her flirting with a handsome man and the pain of her twisted wrist and scare had paralyzed the basic need of being in a pool and led to being drawn to the bottom of it.
Knowing her husband's cruel side, Selena was prepared to take charge in a life-or-death situation like this and plunge into the pool, retrieving the unfortunate woman from it.
Looking at the woman's friend's shocked expression, she handed the injured woman over to her and said.
" Next time before doing this kind of thing, you better remember this moment. Not every handsome man is a gentleman or woman pleaser. You can try to sue him, but unfortunately, even the law is helpless in dealing with the black rose mafia."
After hearing the name of the mafia group, two women's faces were drained of colour.
To avoid any further conflict, Selena swam towards Matteo and pushed him to the other side of the pool before performing something more extreme.
Matteo Darosa was the illegitimate son of one of the most famous and dangerous mafia groups in the world.
Unfortunately, He was not officially recognized by the clan until he was 20 years old.
One factor was that his mother deserted him when he was five years old and got married to a wealthy middle-aged man. The other one, even his mother did not know who was his father. If she had had a slight suspicion of his relation to the mafia, she would have seized this golden opportunity to enter that family.
Matteo was able to find his father thanks to a completely coincidental sequence of events.
He was a good-looking child and was immediately adopted by a middle-class family. Until the age of 10, he had a happy childhood, but when a young woman with a bulging belly suddenly showed up, it turned his adopted family upside down. His kind adopted father showed his true colours and abandoned them in a second for his biological unborn child. His hardworking adopted mother turned into a vicious woman, blaming everything on him and leaving him in the orphanage again.
Following the second abandonment, his gentle and meek personality turned into a cold and apathetic one.
Matteo decided to depend on himself and study to attain a better high school and a future that does not require the aid of others.
Upon joining the prestigious school, his background resulted in continuous bullying and manipulation. During those dark moments, he came across Selena and her arrival led to a significant change in his life. Matteo had always held the belief that Selena was his lucky star.
Upon being accepted into a top university, both of them began dating with the expectation of a bright future. The universe didn't want their journey to be smooth, so they ended up running into one of Matteo's parental family's elders.
