LUCA "Have the clothes taken to the house. No one touches them until my wife does, understand?" I smoothly commanded Elena. She nodded and left my office. I knew everything would be done exactly as I wanted. The clothes for the Talciro gala ball had arrived. The event was in two days and it would be the first time Alina and I would be attending an event together. I felt sorry that I had hurt her in the morning. I planned to apologize by getting her flowers and a new diamond necklace. I went personally to pick up the roses and had a selection of diamonds brought in so I could pick. Once I had both, I went back home. The last person I expected to see immediately I stepped in was my father. I groaned, pausing at the door, but he had already seen me. "Come in, Luca."
