Author’s POV.
Laura cries her eyes out for some minutes, she can feel her heart aching deep inside, he just shattered her heart to a million pieces
She covers her b**bs and walks out of the room, Enzo is not in the sitting room, with glassy eyes, she picks up her undies, she wears them quickly and her dress as well.
She doesn’t bother wearing her heels but holds them in her hand, she picks up her bag and rushes out of the room, slamming the door hard.
Enzo hears the door shut, he quickly leaves the kitchen and comes out, he heaves a sigh of relief.
“What a woman!” He exclaims.
“She’s crazy” He mumbles and touches his dïck.

“You didn’t come,” Tito mutters and stands up.
Fiorella puts up a sad face and walks to him before hugging him warmly.
Tito smiles and pulls away from the hug.
“What happened last night? I called you but you didn’t respond, are you alright? ” Tito asks worriedly.
Fiorella doesn’t want him close to the twins, therefore she lies.
“I had a fever and couldn’t come, I am so sorry but we can reschedule it”Fiorella apologises and kisses his lips lightly.
Tito worriedly touched her forehead, he doesn’t know why he is being unnecessarily worried and caring but he can’t get her out of his head.
“Your temperature seems normal,” Tito mutters .
“Yes, Mamma took care of me,” Fiorella giggless.
Tito suddenly pecks her head making her heart skip a beat, Fiorella swallows hard. She shouldn’t have any feelings towards him.
“Why did you do that?” Fiorella asks with a slight frown.
“My kiss will take away all the pain you are feeling” Tito smiles, it’s a rather gentle, calm and sweet smile..
A smile that is always rare and could make your heart flutter when you see it this makes her looks away.
“That’s so sweet of you” Fiorella fakes a smile.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Tito grins and takes her to his seat, he makes her sit on his lap.
“We can have another dinner tonight, I will come pick you up at your place or my driver could come?”
“Your driver should come, I will make sure to look extra beautiful only for you tonight” She said seductively and kisses his lips.
Tito’s heart palpitates, this feeling is really strange and he hates it.
‘I need to see a doctor’ Tito thought and his heart races faster as she smooches his lips.

Fiorella goes to Laura’s office after coming back from a meeting with the investors, there would be a new clothing line soon and they had to discuss the lists of models to hire.
Fiorella knocks on her office door but Laura doesn’t respond.
“Laura” Fiorella calls as she opens it.
“Laura” Fiorella smiles broadly and walks in.
She closes the door behind her, Laura raises her head to see her, she has the urge to skin her alive.
Fiorella notices her strange look and thinks she is still angry with her.
“Amica, are you still angry with me?” Fiorella asks with a sad face.
Laura suddenly smiles “No way, I am not angry at you, why should I?”
Fiorella sighs and goes to sit in front of her.
“Nothing, but I miss spending time with you” Fiorella pouts cutely.
Laura stares daggers at her but replaces it with a warm gaze.
“How are you and Tito now?” Laura asks.
Fiorella exhales, she wishes to tell her friend everything but not now.
“Fiorella, you can trust me” Laura smiles and holds her hands placed on the table.
Laura smirks, she wants to know any secret she can use to destroy her.
“I really want to tell you about it but that would be later” Fiorella smiles.
“Alright, but always know you can trust me, I am your best friend for life” Laura smiles pretentiously.

Later that night Fiorella is dropped off at the mansion by his driver, she walks to the mansion’s door and rings the bell.
The door is opened by a maid who leads her to the dining table.
She sees the dining table empty.
“What the h*ck! ” She shrugs and walks around the mansion.
She smells something burning and goes to where the awful smell is coming from, she reaches the kitchen to see traces of smoke.
“Tito” Fiorella calls and coughs.
Tito turns to her, he is wearing an apron, Fiorella didn’t realise when she burst into laughter.
Fiorella roars in laughter, it makes Tito pout angrily.
She laughs and walks into the smoky kitchen, she can’t stop laughing, seeing him in an apron is so hilarious.
“Stop laughing” Tito frowns, not a scary one.
Fiorella gets to him and touches his aproan and laughs “I can’t control myself, I am sorry”
Tito twists his mouth in a funny way, he bites his inner cheek, trying to stop himself from laughing along.
“Why are you trying to cook?” Fiorella giggles cutely.
Tito sighs, he doesn’t even know what prompted him to do something so stupid, he only wanted to impress her.
“Nothing, I just felt like it” He coughs.
“You know your wounds are not fully healed, you are not supposed to do tedious activities” Fiorella mutters.
” I was trying to cook some spaghetti but everything got burnt” Tito frowns in exhaustion.
“Don’t worry, we will clean this up and cook together” Fiorella smiles and kisses his lips quickly.
She goes to drop her bag on the counter and returns to him, she ties her hair up in a bun, she is doing it in such a slow motion that it is getting Tito hypnotised.
“I can’t believe you tried cooking, I am sure that food would be filled so much salt and spices” Fiorella chuckles and holds him for support as she couldn’t control her laughter.
Tito smiles and holds on to her, he has that same weird feeling in his heart again and his smile slowly vanishes.
“I think I have a heart disease”He mutters in fear.
” A heart what?
“Nothing, let’s cook” Tito smiles and moves away from her.
‘”Get me some salt” She forces smiles and he goes to get the salt.
Fiorella opens it and tastes.
“This is sugar” She laughs and goes to show him.
“Quit making fun of me already” Tito pouts but ends up laughing.

She leaves Tito in the dining room and goes upstairs to his room, she can still identify it, she plants cameras there cautiously looking out for other cameras.
She sneaks downstairs and plants another camera in the vase but unknown to her that someone is watching.
She turns back and doesn’t see anyone, she walks back to the dining room like nothing happened.
Matteo comes out of his hiding and walks stealthily to the vase.
He puts his hand in it and brings out the camera..
A dangerous smile spreads on his lips, he had arrived when she was upstairs and he cautiously hid himself, he has seen her image before and he recognized her as Fiorella Evette.
“Traitor” He sneers angrily.
….
After having dinner with Tito, she leaves, she is quite happy about the success of her plans.
Fiorella walks home filled with excitement that her father’s murderer will end up in prison where he belongs.
Fiorella suddenly remembers Tito in the apron and laughs.
“He tried cooking”
She realises that she just laughed and she stops then replaces it with a hateful scowl.
Matteo comes out of one of the trees on the road and starts following her.
He brings out a sharp pocket knife from his pocket, a bîtch like her deserves to be stabbed to death.
