ISABELLA
I felt a shiver run down my spine, as he pinned me down in the dining room, he reached for the food and one swipe away they were all on the ground.
"Leave!" he instructed and some men walked out of their hidden corners, my eyes widened at how they could be this good at hiding.
"You look beautiful in my clothes," he said, his voice low and husky as he smirked with both hands locked together with his one hand.
I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as he reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.
His touch sent a weird spark through me, and I felt my heart racing.
Lorenzo's hands slid down my arms, his fingers wrapping around my wrists. He pulled me closer, his eyes burning with intensity.
"You shouldn't ask about me from others," he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. "If you want to know something, ask me directly."
I felt a thrill of excitement mixed with a bit of fear. Lorenzo's grip on my wrists was firm, but not painful. I knew I should pull away, but a part of me didn't want to.
As he pulled me closer, I felt his chest pressed against mine, his heart beating rapidly.
His hands slid up my arms, his fingers brushing against the sensitive skin of my neck.
I felt a shiver run down my spine as Lorenzo's lips brushed against my ear.
"You are mine now, Isabella," he whispered. "I won't like you being around other
I knew I should be careful around Lorenzo, but a part of me was drawn to him, despite the danger that lurked beneath his charming face.
There he kissed the nape of my neck, and my eyes shut. I tried to savor the moment.
Until I felt his right hand sliding under my shirt, I was not wearing anything under it since I had no dress.
"Fuck! It isn't supposed to be this way, we are in the dining room for damn sake."
I know I need to distract him, but I wouldn't be able to do so since he got married to me legally, denying him my body might bring some kind of reaction I wouldn't want.
"You want me to ask…" my words broke as his finger got to my belly button, he knew what he was doing when my gaze locked with his, and he smirked back at me.
I swallowed hard, "What?" my breathing was hard, "are you doing...."
He drew a circle around my belly, and I couldn't stop him since his other hand was still locked around my wrist.
His head leaned down my ear, as he kissed down to my collar bone and there I felt his hands on my boobs.
My breathing hitch at this, "What does it mean by the underground Lucio mentioned earlier," I asked as he paused and raised his head, locking his gaze with mine.
His grip around my wrist loosened, and slowly his hand slipped out from under my shirt.
"Not that question," I smirked and then pushed him away, "If you aren't going to explain things to me then don't.." I was about to walk away when he pulled me up slamming me on the wall.
This time that gaze held anger, "Never… never… stop me in the middle," he let out and my body trembled at this.
"Wh… what.." my voice quivered under his touch.
His eyes narrowed and then he let go of me, "Let's go shopping." He changed the topic like he didn't just threaten me.
Breathing out hard I could only nod my head, "Wear something under that shirt." he announced and left me standing there.
I pulled out my phone from my pocket and stopped the recording, "Damn, this got no use… I need to get back my belongings and get all my secret recorders."

Finally, our car pulled up in front of the expensive mall, "I should get more expensive things, he got the money to do so.." I thought.
My eyes met with his as if he could hear my thoughts. He gave me a warning look but I just rolled my eyes.
"Boss," the guard sitting in the passenger seat, called.
"A word is reaching us now that Carlo is in the mall with one of his bitch," I glanced at him wondering why that was supposed to be his concern.
"Send everyone out of the mall," he announced and he nodded his head as they all alighted from the car.
Sometimes I feel I know nothing about this man, yeah I do know nothing about him.
He might be one of the most reputable men in the city but he has this deep secret that makes me worried when I am around him.
"How the hell did the government allow you to go around with a harmful object in your hands?" I mumbled under my breath but I was pretty sure he heard.
"Because I am Lorenzo Luca," he answered and I glanced at him now, having a teasing smile playing on my lips.
"Luca?" I repeated and the look he gave me wasn't amused.
"Your other name is Luca," I teased again and he gave me a warning glare.
"Don't you dare.."
"No, I am calling you that, I choose what I want to call you." he was about to say something when his phone buzzed and the door opened.
"All cleared.." his men announced.
I alighted from the car still having a teasing smile, as he moved to my side and then gestured for me to wrap my hands around that of his.
I could see the way everyone was walking out of the mall, having a disappointed look on and it made me a bit sad.
"You shouldn't send people out next time, see they are not happy." he didn't even look their way as he strutted toward the door.
"I don't care," he answered. His guards lined up around the door but another set of men walked out from inside.
"I am a prosecutor, I can prosecute you for…"
"Just one more word, I won't care if you ate my wife," he barked and I just smiled now directing my gaze at the men.
"Why bring a lot of men when.."
"They are not mine," he cut me off again, now having a frustrated look.
His arm tightened around mine until a figure walked out of the mall.
He must be in his late forties, but what grabbed my attention was the lady who wrapped her hand around him.
I am pretty sure I would be older than this lady. "Well… well well. If not the little demon himself with his bitch," he announced and then I felt that chill.
Lorenzo disengaged my hold from him and then wrapped his hand around mine, "Didn't you get the news that I got married?" he asked and I swallowed hard as he walked up to us having that scowling expression.
The moment he stepped closer I could feel that deep odor of cigarette coming from him, and tattoos also all over his face.
As if Lorenzo sensed my fear he grabbed me in a reassuring way, "Little girl… did you know what you have got yourself into being his woman?" he asked and I swallowed hard shaking my head.
"Leave Carlo," he warned and then the man moved so close to me.
Lorenzo was about to pull me to the other side but the man grabbed my hand. It was so fast before I understood what just transpired.
"Stay away from him quickly if you value your life," And that was it again when a pistol was pulled out pointing at us.
