HUNDRED AND ONE
Sin’s Pov.
I felt a soft hand move on his hair, loving the feel of it, and I slowly opened my eyes.
“It’s still early; why are you awake?” My sleepy voice rang out, and my beautiful baby smiled.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“I had to use the bathroom and found it hard to fall back asleep.” She smiled and kissed my nose.
I pulled her closer, her head resting on my chest. “You look tired, amore; try to get some sleep.” I caressed her cheek; she pulled away to peck my lips before laying back on my chest.
We stayed in each other’s embrace, cuddling for some time until I fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already 7:30 in the morning. I kissed Mani on her forehead and then slowly lifted up her head to place it on the pillow. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up for the day.
After freshening up, I got dressed in a black Amarni suit before stepping out of the house to head to one of my warehouses here in Italy. I head into my office to find Luca sitting on my couch with a cup of coffee in his hand.
“Morning Sin.” He says this, taking a sip of his coffee before placing it back on the table.
I gave a sly nod, taking a seat in my chair. “What time is the meeting today?”
“At 12 p. m., the meeting will be held in the Liceo Reale Hotel. It’s an hour and thirty minutes’ drive from here, so we should be there before 12.”
“Okay then, we will leave around 10,” I say to him, scrolling through my phone.
“Sure.” It was silent for a second. “So, how was your trip with Mani?” Luca asked, standing up from the couch to take a seat on a chair in front of me.
“It was good; she had a lot of fun.” I said this while looking at my phone.
“It’s nice to see how great the both of you are together.” He complimented me with a huge smile on his face.
“I told her about Lorenzo.” I heard a choking sound and raised my head to see Luca with a shocked look running across his face.
“wait. Seriously. ” He asked with surprise and nodded in response before turning back to my phone.
“You really must love her.”
“I do; I plan on proposing this week.” I said it again, just to hear another choking sound coming from Luca. I gave him a questionable look and a glare as well.
“Don’t look at me like that. You can’t seriously blame me; you’ve really changed a lot these past few months.” I rolled my eyes at this and kept my focus on my phone.
“When I heard her call you by your name, I knew she was someone special. I’m really happy for you, man.” He had a genuine smile on his face, and he couldn’t help but smile a little. ” Congratulations”
“Thanks, man.” We did a silly handshake that Luca forced me to learn. “Let’s start going so that we can get this over with and I can go back home to my bambina.”
The drive to the hotel was as Luca had predicted. After the annoyingly long meeting, I had to go back to the warehouse to settle some documents before going home. I looked at the time to see it was 6:30 p. m. in the evening and let out a frustrated sigh. I need to finish this so that I can head home. I just needed an hour or two to finish up.
Luca was with me, going through some other documents that contained shipments and other things. We were able to finish early, and I stood up to get my things when the door opened and Luna walked in, swaying her hip. She had a smirk on her face, and I knew she was up to no good.
“Hey Luca!” she waved at Luca, and his face screwed up in disgust, sending her a glare. “Still the same, I see.”
“And still desperate like always.” Luca scoffed, crossing both hands on his chest.
“What are you doing here?” I growled, pissed.
“Oh… Baby. That’s no way to speak to a guest.” She cooed, walking towards my desk to take a seat beside me.
“What are you doing here, Luna?” I voiced out, somewhat calm but dangerous, trying to control my anger.
“I missed you so much. Sin,” she smirks, and her hand trails down my chest. attempting to seduce me.
” You know what, fuck this is: I have no patience left in me right now.”
I opened my drawer, pulled out my Ruger 1707 GP100, and raised it to her. Her eyes widened, I watched her gulped, before she put back the facade up, trying to act tough as she raised her hands in a mock surrender. She thinks I won’t be able to shoot her because of her dad’s connection, but she was wrong. I let go of the safety, ready to blow her brains off, when her words stopped me.
“How well do you know your little toy?” She spits it out with a cocky smile dancing around her lips.
I gave her a questionable look, wondering what she was talking about.
“Just shoot the slut; she would obviously say anything to save her ass,” Luca countered, walking towards us.
“If you shot me, you would never know the truth,” she replied slyly.
I smirked at her, wanting to know what game she was playing. “Do indulge me.”
She opened her designer handbag to bring out a brown envelope, slamming it on the table. I quipped my left eyebrow, looking at the envelope, then back to her.
Luca picked it up from the table, bringing out whatever content was inside. He had a shocked look on his face, then turn to look at me warily. I snatched a picture from his hand, and my heart stopped.
There, smiling for the camera, was my princess with my most trusted man. He had his hand wrapped around her, and she rested her head on his chest. I looked down at the date on the picture.
15-11-2015.
“What is this?” I snapped at Luna. She had a devious grin on her face.
“It seems like someone kept a little secret from you,” she taunts. “Why don’t you show him the rest of the picture, Luca dear?”
I turned to Luca, and he seemed hesitant. “I don’t believe a word she says, Sin. I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation for this.” I gave him a passive look, taking the rest of the picture from his hold, and my emotions went cold when I saw Mani and Jason naked, kissing passionately.
I stood up from my seat, pissed, and stormed out of the office with Luca at my tail.
“Sin, you need to relax and think this through. You can’t seriously believe that whore,” he said. I didn’t believe her at all, but that didn’t stop the fact that I was hurt.
“Porta quella puttana nel seminterrato, non ho finito con lei.” I got into my car and speeded off back to the mansion.
I took large steps on the staircase, rushing towards the room for an explanation, and what I saw completely left me shattered.
“What the hell is going on here?”
