"Whats wrong?" He asked while I grab my seatbelt with my eyes shut

"Andrea?"

I ignored him and continued to offer a silent prayer

"Are you okay?"

"Andrea?"he asked again

"Shut up Im praying"I replied still my eyes closed shut

I heard him let out a low laugh

"For what?"

I sighed and looked at him

"Im praying we will reach our distination in one piece"

"We did" he said halting the car infront of a clothing shop

"Why did you..." I swallowed feeling my stomach spin

"Signore Frause said we will have dinner tonight so I took you here to find a dress...I'll pick you up later at 5pm so go crazy" he said looking at his watch then handed me a black credit card

5??it's freakin 10 am!

"If I may Mr.Romano I have my own money to spend" I said declining

"Oh...okay then" He nodded

I stepped out looking around thinking of what to do here for 7 hours

People are everywhere with their foreheads furrowed with the heat while women go crazy in the stores

"I'll see you soon" he said then drove off

I watched him drive away like a maniac

Even if I can't even bare to be with him,Im still thankful he saved me...I owe him

I stepped in the shop and looked for a dress

Not one dress took my attention so I called the Louie

Later he arrived and stepped out of his car wearing a blue suit...women's eyes feast over him.He brushed his hair with his fingers and walked with a girly strut disappointing the women's eyes greatly

I laughed looking at them

***

"Thank you Maam" the cashier smiled as she handed the bag

Finally I bought something with the help of my best friend!

"Im hungry" he said hooking my arm

"Pizza?" I asked him in a smile

"Girl you read my mind!" He screamed pulling me to our favorite place

"Wait here though I need to pee" he said running

I smiled watching him run like a real man

I was waiting when a voice sounded

"What do we have here...Andrea" he said in a smile

"Domenic"

"You are quite something huh..." He said running his eyes on me with an odd his eyes

"What do you mean?" I asked already having the feeling that this is bad

"...figuring you cant have me...you went for my brother,is that how pathetic you are?" he sneered while his words gritted in his teeth

I was frozen...lost for words

I felt disgusted at myself hearing his words

What am I doing?

"What?guilty?" He asked

"Good luck sister in law,we might look alike but we are very different" he continued tapping my shoulder

"What do you mean?" I asked

"You don't wanna know,just a small advice,stop this now" he replied then left

"Wait!" I shouted but he merely rose his hand as a reply

What does he mean?

"Andy"Louie called pulling me out of my thoughts

I felt a warm fluid touch my lip

I wiped my tears and faced him with a smile but my tears still fell

" whats wrong?"he asked

"Did I do the right thing?I am marrying the twin brother of the man I loved..." I asked

"You were just saving yourself...and besides it's a business marriage it's just for title nothing more...it's basically nothing"

"But something happened between me and Niccolo" I said

"Yes but you never once kissed Domenic let alone spending the night with him"

I nodded feeling slightly better

Thats right...

***

It's 5 and Niccolo came as he said

I stepped in still Domenic's words rang in my head

Should I break the deal?

I thought carried by Domenic's words

But...If I do what will happen?

I leaned on the window and kept my head straight

I shook my head

I only loved him...not once kissed him...

I thought

Its different...right?

"Andrea?" I was pulled back from my thoughts hearing his voice

"Huh?"I looked at him and was stunned for a while seeing him looking dashing in his black suit

There's something dangerous in his eyes...he smiles but his eyes does not say thesame

They look thesame but different...

I thought

"Are you okay?" He asked looking like he called my me for a while

"Oh...yes Im fine" I answered nodding removing my gaze from him

***

We reached home and Nana took me to my room while Niccolo spent time with my father

I wore the dress Louie picked,it's a black cocktail dress with sphagetti straps and a laced back

"Beautiful..." Nana said with a smile,her eyes are getting glassy from her forming tears

I weakly smiled back feeling the load on my chest and my mind taking a second thought of my decision

"Nana,do you have any news about mom?" I asked remembering

"Don't worry she will be home soon" she replied assuringly

My mother mysteriously left days ago

A knock was heard and a maid came in

"Dinner is ready Maam"

I nodded

***

I decended the stairs and saw Mr.Romano waiting at the end

I walked straight,my muscles tensed while doubt spread in my thoughts

He offered his hand and I took it and he led me to the dinning room

"Don't worry Selo I found a wife" I said to my father on the other line,I tilted my head on my shoulder holding the phone between it while I scan the informations about Andrea Frause

Andrea Felicity Frause...

It appears she doesn't use her second name.She was adopted when she was seven...she moved out when she was fifteen and built her restaurant without her parent's help...

"Good...I was thinking on arranging you again Signore Saleh is getting impatient...send me your wife's information" he said,I envisioned him sitting in his tacky office smoking a cigarrette...and Mama will scold him any minute now

A married man can't have a peaceful cigarrette as he said

"Selo!" I smiled hering a voice I was waiting to hear

"I'll call you later" he said in a defeated sigh

Poor man

I thought while I laughed silently

He was a ruthless and merciless man but he was bended by a woman!

My mama is one of a kind,she still loved an awful man like my father...

***

I drove to the place to pick up Andrea

I stopped and saw she was staring on the ground looking like her thoughts are bothered,she only clutched a bag.Her golden hair still beautifuly lay on her shoulder

I gripped the stirring wheel feeling a strong desire

It's not a good idea to leave her here...pretty cruel

I thought looking at her

She is not into shopping is she?I actually thought she will go crazy

She stepped in,her mind somewhere else

What happened?

I called her for the fifth time now and she still hasn't replied

"Andrea?" I called again,finally she heard me

"Huh?" Her golden eyes hit me,her eyes stayed on me for seconds

"Are you okay?" I asked

"Oh...yes Im fine" she lied

***

After dinner ...

Here I am listening to I think the best sound I have ever heard.

I gazed at the woman sitting by the piano while her gorgeous fingers play on the keys.I cant help but smile due to the strong feeling

I eyed her slender body from her back to her hips

At dinner I have observed that she is actually a normal person,considering she was adopted by a rich family,I expected her to be a spoiled brat but she is not...she is actually normal!She also has an icy way of treating her parents and everyone around her

After playing the piano,her parents asked us to have a walk at their garden for us to get to know each other

"Look,Im sure we agreed to this marriage for our own benefits..." She started breaking our silence"...can we just please forget what happened it was a mistake,for us to live comfortably in this marriage so please lets just start over"

"Who said both of us are uncomfortable?" I asked in a seductive smile while my hands traveled her waist

She quickly pushed me and stood steps away from me

"Im serious Mister Romano" she said"this is a marriage of business need I remind you again"she said while fire starts to in her eyes

"But its still a marriage..." I said in a smile that fully rose the fire in her eyes

"What happened was a mistake" she said again the emotion in her eyes was replaced by coldness

"But it happened ,hasn't it?" I asked enjoying the sight of her cold eyes heat in flames

She heaved a sigh

"Mister Romano,may I tell you the rules I have?" She asked

"Sure" I replied

"Don't touch me,don't kiss me and don't talk to me.Don't do these things unless it is is needed to.Its pure business.You can sleep with whoever you want I don't care"she said

Sleep with whoever I want?

" your rules?"she asked

"Don't fall inlove in this marriage" I said

She let out a confident laugh

"Positive" she replied with such assurance

Good...

Remembering something I fished out a small box in my pocket"well then..."

"Then Andrea will you be my wife?" I asked,kneeling down

Trust me I do not want to do this but with the eyes watching us right now I need to make everything realistic for the divorce to work in the public eye

She was shocked by my action but I am aware her parent's and servant's eyes are watching.Realizing my reason she stood still and played along

"yes" She replied in a low voice

I laughed and slipped the ring on her finger and stood up and kissed her.Once I drawed away her fist hit my chest

"Nicco" she warned her eyes spitting fire

"Eyes are watching,we need a very realistic marriage yes?"
