Chapter 31

Unedited.

Our precious Xiden (Mario Ermito) is winning in life and I wish him all the best and much more success and good luck.

Not proof read.

Amira's POV

It's been a week since the whole ordeal that happened at the cabin with Xiden and everyone.

I remember the words he uttered to me when we were wrapped up in each other that night:
"Sei di gran lunga la ragazza più bella, tremenda, innocente e gentile del mondo e sei troppo buono per me ma è troppo tardi, non puoi andare da nessuna parte ora."

I asked him to translate but he silenced me with a tender kiss but after that night Xiden started to get distant. Always in his office and going out early in the morning before I wake and coming in when I'm asleep.

I tried to stay up to greet him but I could never keep my eyes open.

Even though he isn't home much my days are always full. In the mornings I help Elethia prepare breakfast, then I go jogging with the twins, bike riding with Armanno and then baking with Alfanso.

I tried talking to Marcello but all he does is stare at me like I'm interrupting his none talking thing which is supper annoying. I try to make him like me but it's like I'm a fly that keeps bothering him. I frown as the though cross my mind.

Today though I am going to visit Lily, Pierro's wife at her diner. It's been so long since I've seen her. And speaking of Piero he is such a kind soul, always taking time to talk to me and give me advice.

He is like the father figure that I never had and we are growing closer with every passing day.

Speaking of father figure I was thoroughly shocked and happy when I saw Salvestro casually sitting in the kitchen whispering with Elethia but when they felt my presence the talking stopped immediately.

I wasn't too worried about at that because Salvestro looked so different in a nice suit and gentleman shoes with his hair sleek back and his face clean shaven, even his brown eyes has a sparkle to them now.

I was happy that he's happy.

Turns out that Xiden offered him a job and the job required him to move all the way out here with him where it is more convenient.

And it was easier too because he doesn't have any living family.

But at the same time it is also weird because he is always hovering around me. Wherever I go in the house I would see him in the distance before he walks away or looking from the window with a sad look on his face at Armanno teaching me how to ride the bicycle.

It was starting to get strange.

I was seated at the vanity in mine and Xiden's room brushing my hair when a sharp knock sound on the door and Enrico walks in, "Piero is here." Smiling at him I walk out the door with him behind me.

"Are you okay, Amira?" Enrico asks. I stopped in my tracks and look over my shoulder to see him standing there in his usual suit but his hands are behind his back.

Giving him a wide smile I nod my head, "I'm fine Enrico. Don't worry." He made a humming sound before giving me a firm nod, "Very well then."

I know that he knows that I'm lying and I'm happy that he didn't try and push the subject any further.

"Where is everyone?" I enquire because I haven't heard any of them since morning.

"Business," came his vague answer, "Xiden?" I ask quietly but I know that he heard me.
