Aria’s pov

“If Valentino dresses you, the society accepts you” I overheard the chefs talking about him

Everyone in the mansions speak of him like they know him

The house seems more busier than ever, maids move from one place to another to make the place even more presentable than it already does

Exactly 11:00Am, knocks came from the door

Two maids opened the door immediately, multiple assistants entered first, makeup artists, Valentino entered last, he looks even more better in person with his sharp jawline, long coats, rings on almost all fingers

Everyone In the mansion respect him immediately

“Good day Aria” he shaked her hands and hold on to it for what felt like forever

“Good morning, Mr Luca” I said I try to release my hands

“Just call me Luca”He scanned my whole body as he speaks

“ sorry I can’t do that”I replied simply

“Let’s get to business, his personal assistances moves professional as he takes my measurements

He looked more than serous while taking my measurements, he’s really a master at what he does

“Did you chose this life, sweetheart?” He suddenly asked

“Excuse me??” I replied while fixing my eyes on Jasmine whose eyes are on Valentino

That question emotionally shakes me

“How did you manage to stay strong like this, he pointed to my shaking hands”

I didn’t find an answer so I just smiled

“Are you acting like you don’t remember me or do you already forgot?”

“Excuse me?” I said again without realizing, but this one came a bit loud with annoyance

One of his clients commented he was a flirt on his page but I didn’t know he was this bad and straightforward

“Velvet veil” he murmured with a devilish smile

“Who are you?!” Fear gripped me that everything have build so far is about to collapse, years of endless stress, tears and blood

“ Do you want them to hear us or will you like to speak more privately

“Everyone should please exit this room” Everyone leaves with their faces full of curiosity,Jasmine gave us a two seconds looks as she locked the door

My eyes rolled back to him as he clearly knows he needs to explain himself

“You must have really forgotten my face, this handsome face and this angelic hands made your dress,so don’t be scared Velvet”

A sigh of relief escaped my mouth “of course I remembered the one who made my dress, the young man that speaks dramatically and treats fashion like war

“I’m sorry I couldn’t recognize you earlier, I was going through a lot then that I didn’t realize I was missing the moments, but I remember your personality, you’re even worse now”

“Thought you forgot everything about me” He smiled and he gave a dress to me, “I’ll wait outside till you are done

He walks away from the room and closed the door

I changed to it and checked myself in front of the big mirror in front of me, It reflected another part of me I didn’t know, the rich version

It was a black backless gown made of silk, I gave myself a final stare at my reflection before going to open the door

And right outside the door, I see him again, Lucien. Even after trying my best to avoid him

Here he is standing right before me

He looked like he couldn’t speak for what felt long like forever, neither could I

Valentino voice broke the silence between us

“ Careful young Laurent, you’re staring too hard, this dress looks dangerously beautiful on you” His tone sounds joking and also commanding

“You must be a master at seducing men” He gave us a discerning look before finally leaving

This feeling suddenly occur to me, why do I feel happy when I saw him

Why do I want him to understand me

“Did I leave you in a bad spot” Valentino voice brought me back from my thinking again

“No, how do I look?”I asked shylishly

“You’re a goddess, aren’t you?, you need to change to more dressees, I’ll call them in to help you”

Two minutes later, others came in all scared, they all look horrified like they see a ghost

“Lucien must be really angry” Valentino voice came again and that explain everything

The rest of the day was about changing dresses and all, we call it a day after the whole team had dinner and everyone left for their houses and am left alone with Lucien who stayed in his room since earlier

I sat on my bed and think about my mom too, she’s still in coma and am not even by her side

Tears almost came flowing when I heard my door opened and I quickly cleaned the small water forming in my eyes

It’s Lucien again

“You must be enjoying your life seducing all kinds of men MRS ARIA” it’s voice came like it needs an explanation

“I owe you no explanation,leave my room now I need to rest” I barely managed to say

“ You have a nice boobs, did you show it to your photographer too?”

That question came annoying

Slowly,I walked up to him and stand right before him

“Respect yourself, I’m still your mother whether you agree or not

If you continue to run your mouth around, I might claim that you tried to r**e me” I threatened him

“Should I just do it? “ he took steps forward and I took step backward

It continued till I couldn’t,I got stuck by the wall and his hand touched my lips

“You’d better stop now, I’m your fathers wife” I threatened hoping that will stop him

“Hun yes, on paper”. He answered, before I knew it

His lips were already on mine

His kiss came hungrily as fuck

No, this is wrong, my head screamed

I gathered all my strength to push him but he wouldn’t move or budge

His hands found the hook of my bra

“Stop now pls” I begged but that didn’t get to him

“Lucien!” A voice called him and a blow landed on his face
