I cannot believe I kissed him back!

I gritted my teeth as I enter the kitchen where I saw Mama Saphia busy cooking

"Good morning!" She greeted with a big kiss on my cheek

I stunned by her actions but quickly replied with a smile,it's my first time to be greeted like this

Im pissed off but her kiss and joy is contagious

I sat on the island and watched her thinking how my Nana is doing,she would wear the same white apron...

Mr.Romano entered and he wore an all black suit,his wet hair lay messyly on his head and his tattoos slightly peeked on his colar

I felt my anger and irritation rush back to how they were

"Like what you see wife?" He asked in a smile

I gave him a hostile glare

This cassanova thinks he can just kiss me just like that?and completely breaking my rules

"I will be in my room Mama" I said and left the kitchen

I walked upstairs and started to pack my clothes,something I was planning on doing after breakfast but seeing that man I want to do it sooner

I don't feel safe in this house

"Where are you going?" Mr.Romano asked with a big question mark on his face eyeing my clothes

"Out of this house" I answered while I continue to pack

"Why?" He asked

"A man broke in,I don't feel safe in this house Mr.Romano"

"No one will break in again I promise" he said

I smiled at him and zipped my laguage

"How can you be sure?Do you somehow know them?" I asked with a sarcastic smile, while I looked at his eyes

He was silent

He is hiding something

He smiled

"No,but I will surely keep a close watch now infact I called some bodyguards and besides we can't have gossips fly around about my wife who lived outside my roof" he said

I was convinced

"There better be no more break ins Mr.Romano" I said and left the room without waiting for his answer

Oh I hate him!I can't even bare being with him for long!

I calmed myself by the thought of my lost biological sister

I walked into the kitchen and saw only mama Saphia

"Where is Mr.Romano?" Curious,I asked

"He just went out" Mama Saphia answered as she served me pancakes and coffee for breakfast

"Did you guys fight?" She asked lowly with her eyes asking if it's okay to ask

"What made you say that?" I asked while I took a bite at familiarly delicious pancakes

Its the same as what Nana makes

"This morning..." She said

"Ah..." I laughed lowly as if I just remembered"that..."

"You know that is pretty normal for arranged couples,but don't worry sooner or later you will find yourself cuddled in his arms" she said in a wide yet bitter smile

I chocked on the pancakes by her words

What?

"Arranged?" I asked

What stuff has that man been telling her?

She quickly handed me a glass of water to wash it down

She still wore her bitter sweet smile which made me curious

"You seemed to know so much about these mama"

She smiled

"I was arranged to a man from Norway,I hated him but later I found myself missing him...but infortunately he passed"

"Im sorry" I said holding her shoulder

"You know what's sad?is that I spent more time hating him,I didn't know he was dying when I finally listened to my heart and ignored my head" She said while she stared at her hand with a gold ring

Her story is so sad

She exclaimed in Italian smelling something burning,she quicly stood removed it from the stove

"I got carried away now I burned it" she said laughing

I smiled seeing her while shifts her gaze from the pan to me

"You must busy today,Maam Andrea you should eat alot it makes you more focused and strong for the day"

"Call me Andrea...and I will Mama thank you" I replied

***

I spent my day in my room planning and calling for my branch

I jolted up my chair hearing Mama's loud scream

I ran down the stairs and saw her putting a white kitchen towel on her hand,a red stain of blood is seen widening

"Goodness" I whispered holding her hand

"Stay put Mama" I said and ran outside seeing men in black suits stood firmly around the house

***

"Are you okay?"I asked Mama looking at her bandaged hand with stiches under

" Im okay"she smiled lowly

"Whats wrong?" I asked

"I wont be able to prepare dinner"

I smiled and shook my head

"Dont worry Mama I'll do it,you should go and rest" She nodded and walked with the pain visible in her eyes.

Now what should I cook for that darned man...

A sweet poison would be good but now is not his time

I looked at kitchen and smiled seeing it's rich with spices and veggies and foods I could make many things with

I tied my hair ang knotted my apron around my waist and started to cook

I was busy with my dish when I jolted and screamed seeing a fury creature ran beside my leg

I am awfully scared of puppies.It's the worst thing ever.Its like being allergic to chicken.

My arms whirlwinded while I hopped like an idiot panicking

Next thing I felt was a pair of hands grab my waist and raised me up on the counter top

"Dio mio" he whispered looking at the puppy

"Im so sorry" a girl apologized solemnly picking up the dog while her eyes begged for forgiveness

I saw Mama saphia came out of her room hearing my loud scream

My gaze shifted to the girl with her hair and eyes a shade darker than mine,her freckles are like cinnamon specked on snow

I parked my car on my parking lot,excited to see my wife

Lately I have been thinking about her more

That woman is making me crazy!

I turned the knob and a delicious smell greeted me

I instantly ran to the kitchen hearing Andrea screamed in horror

I halted seeing her jumping looking at the small vunerable,innocent dog frightened by her feet

She screamed still,then I saw mama Saphia step out her room and watched with me

Seeing how she was terrified and not knowing what to do I held her small waist and put her on the countertop

Rhius ran and picked up max

She apologized with fear as she shortly gazed at me

"Young master"she bowed not daring to look at me longer,she merely turned her bowed body

" Hi Rhius"I said"what are you doing here?"I asked

"Mama Saphia called me to help the young Miss" she said bowed still

"Raise your head" I said feeling uncomfortable seeing her bow down to me like she does to my uncle

She reluctantly looked at me then finally followed

"Mama Saphia cut herself and I offered to cook in her place..." Wife explained stepping down the countertop causiously eyeing her small preditor not minding her at all

"I thought you may need some assistance" Mama saphia said

"Ah yes" Andrea said with a smile

***

I was brushed out the kitchen by my wife and now I am back here making myself a cup of coffee looking at my wife's perfect back clad with a black shirt while I can sense Rhius' concerned eyes wanting so much to make my coffee for me

"Let me Master" she gave in

I know she won't stop until she is the one who makes it so I gave it to her

I walked up behind Andrea and trailed her waist

"Remember Mr.Romano I'm holding a knife" she warned stopping from chopping the meat

"I'd like a little danger" I whispered and kissed her cheek feeling a tingling pleasure on my lips

I laughed and ran

"My office" I said to Rhius

"ROMANO!!!" Her voice filled the kitchen
