I've been gone from my amore for too long and I want to see her now. I came back from my business trip to Japan a few nights ago and had stacks of paperwork and other work waiting for me once I stepped foot in New York city.

Angelo and Nicola have been updating me on how Nyx has been and she doesn't seem to be happy with how absent I've been. I know I should've sent her a message along the way to check up on her but I didn't for some reason.

I'm going to attempt to make her happy tonight so I hope she's in the mood of seeing me.

I didn't think the business deal would take so long but the Japanese were prolonging everything which was getting on my nerves. If I didn't get out of there when I did, I would've killed most of them for wasting my time.

Riccardo and Lorenzo told me about the night they went to see her and how much she was interested in the organisation. I like how she's already trying to know and understand as much as she can about my work.

When she becomes the regina then she will have certain tasks and duties to fulfill. I don't want to pile a lot of tasks on her though because she wasn't born into the mafia like myself.

I grab my car keys from the coffee table and quickly walk out my house. The few guards outside my house bow their heads as I walk past them. I get into my car and start the engine.

Nyx has been couped up in her apartment ever since I left so I want her to see something different tonight.

She's really the only thing I've had on mind throughout this past week because I missed the feeling her skin between my hands. Holding her the way I did that morning felt amazing.

I haven't felt like that in a few years. Kissing her was like kissing someone for the very first time for me.

I walk up to her floor and make my way to the end of the narrow hallway. "Don," both Angelo and Nicola greet as they bow their heads. I nod in acknowledgement as I open the door without knocking.

I peak inside the apartment to see that she isn't in the living room. I open the door fully and walk into the apartment, leaving the door slightly ajar.

It's too late for her to be in the kitchen so she has to be in her room. I walk down the hallway towards her bedroom and take a deep breath in as I knock on the door.

There is no response so I knock on the door again, but he doesn't respond again. I sigh as I push the door handle down. I push the door back as slowly as I am to avoid making a noise.

The lamp in the corner of her small room is on and it's illuminating a small portion of the room. Nyx is laying on her bed on her stomach with her phone tilted against her pillow.

She's watching a movie on her phone and has her headphones on her head so that explains why she couldn't hear me.

I slowly walk into the room, trying to be as quiet as I can. My shadow cascades against the wall in front of her as I get closer to her bed and she quickly pauses the movie.

She pulls the headphones off her head and I stop walking. She turns on her bed, a look of fear on her face for only a second until she processes that it's just me.

"Amore, I'm back," I say in a cheesy tone while opening my arms for her to come into my embrace. She does better than just walk into my arms, she hops up from her bed and jumps into my arms, wrapping her long legs around my hips in the process.

"Enzo!" She squeals while wrapping her arms around my neck. I smile at her little nickname for me and hug her tightly. "You were gone for so long."

"I'm sorry," I whisper into her neck while rubbing her lower back. "Next time, I'll take you with me."

She pulls away from my neck and cocks a questioning brow. "Really?" She squeaks and I nod while shifting my arms to her thighs. She pecks my lips gently and smiles at me, her beautiful eyes bringing me nothing but joy.

I missed looking into her alluring eyes.

"I want to take you somewhere," I say while kisisng her right cheek. I move to her left cheek and she giggles as I kiss her cheek.

I turn around and walk out of her bedroom with her still wrapped around my body. "I think you should put me down," she says as she attempts to unwrap her legs from my body but I quickly tighten my hold on her thighs.

"You are staying right here amore," I say while pushing the front door open with my foot. "Go get her phone then lock up," I say to Nicola and Angelo and they nod before disappearing into the apartment.

I walk us down the five flights of stairs and she giggles as I do this. "Have you missed me amore?" I ask with a smirk and she shakes her head with a pout. "What? Why not?" I chuckle as I walk out of her apartment complex.

"You left me with no detail on where you were going," she mutters while lowering her head. Her entire happy mood changes in front of my eyes. "Please put me down," she says while trying to get out of my hold and this time I let her go.

She stands on her feet, her arms wrapped around her small body as she avoids eye contact with me.

"I'm sorry. I won't do that again, ok?" She nods in response and I groan. "Words."

"Yes, Vincenzo," she says bitterly. I sigh as I tak hold of her hand and tug her towards my car. I try to open the door for her but she does it for herself.

She gets into the car without saying anything and closes the door for herself. She folds her arms and looks down at her lap with a saddened look.

I was hoping this wouldn't happen, but I guess I have to try harder to make her happy.

Angelo and Nicola walk out of the apartment complex with her keys and phone. Angelo hands the keys and phone to me and I thank the before telling them to take the night off.

I walk around the car and pull the driver's seat door open. I climb into the car and hand Nyx her phone and keys. She softly thanks me and looks out of the window.

This is not what I wanted.
