Crowned love

Episode 14 The Bright Start.

I came home after two weeks of absence and I was very happy about it. I was tired of this eternal rush, I had to change hotels and perform in public every two days. My schedule was so tight that I had the impression that I wouldn't even have time to sleep. I must admit, my organizers squeezed all the juices out of me, but it was worth it. I achieved success and interested people in my idea of ​​providing help, supporting public schools and orphanages . I have also gained some new sponsors for my foundation. Yes! I officially have my foundation. I thought about the name for a long time and had quite a dilemma. I wanted it to be something easy to remember, but also nothing cheesy or stupid. In the end, I chose the name THE BRIGHT START.I hoped it would be well known as a new and fresh beginning for others . Through the funds I am able to raise, I wanted to support the needy in changing their lives afresh. I felt that I had taken a great step forward and was very sealable about it.

Now I had a few days off and decided to visit my parents and go to Marco's parents' for dinner. He really cared about it, I also wanted to meet his family, but I knew that this was the transition of our acquaintance to the next level, already more advanced. When I was traveling, he called me every day. He knew where I was and what I was doing because Alex was giving him reports but he wanted to talk to me, hear my voice. Each time he repeated that he missed me and cannot wait for my return. It was very nice that there is someone waiting for you and worrying about your well-being. Neither me nor him have named our feelings in any particular way, but we both felt where it was going. And here I was a bit afraid, because I did not know how Marco would see being in a relationship. He repeatedly told me that he did not believe in love and then something changed in him. I got to know him completely from a different angle. With me he was warm and caring, but on a daily basis he was demanding and tolerant of opposition.

I understood that he had to be like that for his employees, otherwise they would not respect him, and in his business it is very important. I do not know if I will be able to relate in his world. How to connect our two worlds? These doubts washed away my sleep from my eyes. My heart told me to give him a chance and my mind wanted to analyze it and make guesses about what would happen if he did.

So far I need to rest because I am about to collapse from fatigue and there will be nothing to debate about. After a long and hot shower, I lay down on my beloved bed. Oh! How good, as it says,there is no place like home. I was almost falling asleep when I heard the sound of my phone. It was not so late yet, only nine in the evening, so late and I was already dead because of the sluggish work in the last few days.

-Halo-I answered in a sleepy voice.

-Hi mu beautiful-it was nice to hear his warm voice. I smiled.

-Marco, nice to hear from you, how are you? -

-I am fine, I just missed you so much. How was your trip? I hear in the voice that I woke you? -

-I almost fell asleep-I laughed quietly-and the trip was tiring but fruitful. I finally managed to establish my foundation-I was very proud of this fact.

-I am very happy and congratulations - his sincere voice warmed my heart.

-I am also glad now I will be able to continue to contribute to society even as a handover of the crown at the next election-

-My strong fighter-laughed.-Listen, I know that you are tired, so I would like to invite you to dinner tomorrow and talk about a few matters and I must see you, because I missed you very much. -

-I missed you very much too. How is your business? Nothing new happened? - I was curious if my persecutor made himself know. I already knew that if I did not speak for too long, it was only more trouble. Marco will probably guess what I'm asking.

-My business is going well, thank you,- he said, and then chuckled and asked. -Do you ask me about the i***t, what's following you?- Nothing dangerous happened, there was a small incident but this is not a phone call. I'll tell you tomorrow when we meet, OK? -

-Tomorrow? How am I supposed to fall asleep now if I know something has happened but I don't know what? Tell me please now.-

Gosh, I had to know what this guy was up to again. I wasn't afraid of him anymore, I was really pissed at him, and mad. I wanted to get rid of him once and for all. If I meet him in person, he will get everything personally. He can't scare me anymore, no way!

-Amelia, it happened a few days ago and everything is fine, believe me. Tomorrow I will tell you honestly and you will see for yourself that it is not a big deal. Trust me. What time do you have time to meet? -Since I had to wait until tomorrow, I wasn't going to eat lunch with him, only breakfast. I had to find out about everything as soon as possible.

- It can be breakfast instead of dinner, for example, at ten o'clock? -

Marco started laughing because he knew I was impatient and I couldn't wait to tell me about the events a few days ago.

-I would like to think that you missed me so much that you can not wait for our meeting again- he laughed, I smiled too-but I understand what you mean, let it be tomorrow at ten. And now get some sleep my little one, and see you tomorrow.

- Thanks and good night Marco.

Long after that, I thought about what could be going on this time, but apparently it was not anything dangerous otherwise Marco would have informed me. I already knew him enough to trust him, I know that he would not deceive me. For the next few minutes I stared at the ceiling, and then I fell asleep in a strong stone sleep.

My alarm clock started going crazy and I felt like strangling it that it woke me up so early. I got up in bed, looked at the phone and froze at nine in the morning, damn well forgot that I made an appointment with Marco for breakfast at ten. However, yesterday I had enough common sense to set the alarm clock, otherwise I would probably fall asleep. I still felt tired and I could sleep the whole day well enough that I didn't have to leave the house or I would be late. A quick shower, dry hair and light makeup. That's enough, he saw me in a worse condition and did not run away screaming. As you can see, he really cared for me. But what to wear ? I will not dress up, I will put on what I usually wear around the house, leggings and a regular t-shirt. Yes, that is perfect.

Fifteen minutes before time, I went down to the kitchen and there was already breakfast waiting for me. The smells spreading through the kitchen were unmanageable. Until my stomach began to rumble. Oh mother, I am so hungry. Yesterday, I went to sleep and did not eat anything, I was so tired.

- Good morning Amelia - I was surprised by the voice of Maria,' the Marcos housekeeper. I did not know that we were still disenchanted. I thought that after my departure he would also leave.

-Hello, Maria, I am very happy that you are still with us.I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. She reminded my grandmother that she was so warm and dear-I thought that after my return, she would not be here anymore-in the end. I did not know for how long she was delegated to me.

-Oh, my dear, when you weren't there, I sent dinner once a week to your bodyguards because they would probably only fill up the pizza-she smiled.- Marco told me that yesterday you came back and you will have breakfast together. I came and prepared something delicious. I knew you were gonna be tired - as always, she thought of everything.

- I will ask Marco today what is the ransom price for you because I am going to kidnap you and I will not give you back without a fight. I hugged her again. She was really close to me and sometimes I felt so lonely.

-Maria is priceless to me,- a male voice said suddenly.

I looked up from the woman's shoulder and saw Marco leaning against the door. Please, this one is as handsome and elegant as ever. I felt jealous because even I have to try to look as good as he does now and it is so easy for him. The hair was impeccable, a dark blue suit and a white shirt but no tie. I don't think he liked them because he rarely wore them. Based on his today's styling, he was going to his corporation.

-I think that from time to time I will be able to visit you Amelia-Maria smiled-And now sit down and eat breakfast before it cools down-then she left and left us alone.

The man stood and burned me very carefully, and I felt my cheeks redden, I was ashamed of that piercing gaze, as if he was undressing my layer by layer.

-Hey-I said in a confused voice.

Marco walked over to me very slowly and he kissed my forehead and then my lips. So delicately and passionately at the same time, and in my lower abdomen I felt the vibrations of butterflies. He looked into my eyes and said with a smile on his face.

- Hi my beauty,- you don't even know how much I missed you-he purred and I felt very hot.

- I missed you too - I sweated my eyes - maybe we'll eat something because I'm about to die of hunger. I already felt that it had been getting weak for too long. I was without food

-In that case, I invited you to the table-pulled back my chair, then, as usual, waited for me to sit down, then took my place. The mafia boss had his manners for sure.

-Tell, tell how your trip went there. I'm very curious-he asked and I poured some coffee to cups.

-As I said yesterday, everything went well, the schedule was very tight. I think we managed to do everything the organizers expected and I got some new sponsors for my foundation - I could talk about it for hours.

-I am very proud of you, you are a very beautiful and intelligent woman Amelia-I sent him my charming smile

- Thank you very much for appreciating my qualities, Mr. Castellino - he repaid me with his predatory smile and again this feeling throbbing in my stomach. If it goes on like this, I will be fired from the inside of you with his smirks.

-Could you now tell us about this incident that happened in my absence, please-I decided to change the subject, I wanted to find out about everything. In a second, the smile faded from his face and he turned serious. He sighed.

-A few days ago, a plumber approached your house and said that he had a plumbing repair job,- he said, and I opened my eyes in surprise. Plumbing? I had no problems with the sewage system. Or was it this guy who wanted to come into my house disguised as a plumber?

- But I didn't call him,- I said.

-I know, that's why security called me. We checked everything. The guy really is a plumber working for one of the companies in the city center. They got a notification from the owner of the house. -

-He knows I was not at home, right ?

- True, we tracked the caller's phone, but it was a telephone box near the internet cafe from which e-mails were sent to you - well, you could have guessed it, but why did he do it?

- Okay, but what was the purpose of sending someone here? -

-I think he wanted to check how much your home is protected when you are away. He knew John and Alex were with you, he tested our vigilance. And here an unpleasant surprise happened, because now he knows that it will not slip here.

Thank God I asked Marco for help otherwise I wouldn't have had such good protection and this asshole would probably use it. But what next? How to track him and catch him?

-Do you have any plan how to catch him? Has he been playing with us for a long time? -I was angry, such waiting only irritated me.

-There's one woman who knows who this guy is, but she's in the hospital right now and we can't talk to her. As soon as she gets home, we'll surely find out something. Don't worry. Soon they will catch up with him and he will pay you for everything he did to you. - in his eyes I saw determination and desire for revenge. It was his second face that I rarely saw. I guess it was meant for his enemies.

-You will hand him over to the police,right?-I asked, although I guess that the police are the last thing they think about now.

- He will be punished, do not worry - I do not know how the mafia deals with its splits, but I guess it is not pleasant.

- I would not like you to have any problems because of me - it was really not worth exposing yourself to a guy like this i***t.

Marco smiled lazily - My darling, don't worry about me, I'll be happy to take care of him. I'll teach him to respect women.

- It sounded threatening - I laughed, but I really felt goose skin on my hands when he talked about it in his serious and threatening tone.

-Because this is a serious matter, Amelia . You can't attack innocent women and make their lives miserable. It's sick and he should be punished. Do you understand? - he was right, I knew it. I just wish this guy would go to prison,but I had the impression that he would end up at the bottom of the river.

- I trust you and I believe that you will do it as you should - I sighed.

Now that we have discussed this more important issue, it is time to move on to the second one.

-So when is dinner at your parents' house? Next weekend I'm going out of town to see my parents.

- Saturday at seven o'clock is good? -

-Sure, I have no plans,- - I even counted on it, I thought - Will anyone be there besides your parents? - I preferred to know what to expect.

-Only them and my brother. Do not worry, I am not inviting the whole family - he chuckled - I will pick you up on Saturday-

I nodded my consent and drank my coffee. I wonder how it will be to meet the mafia family and find out about Marco's secret.
