"Hi, baby. I missed you," Matteo said as he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me close. "Hey," my voice was low and almost inaudible but it was loud enough for him to hear.

It didn't take him long to notice the tone of my voice and how it was related to my mood. He turned around to look at me almost immediately which caused me to clear my throat before I began to walk ahead, trying to change the topic. "How was your day?" "It was a bit busy but it's all better now because I'm home with you," he replied. "Oh, how busy were you?"

I walked up the stairs and straight into our room while my husband followed me like a lost puppy.

I never expected my boyfriend or my husband to be close with my father. The main reason was because I knew Papa, I knew his ways, I knew how much control he wanted. He had his own ego because he was a man of power and it was one of the reasons why he could never like Matteo even if he tried.

Matteo was a powerful man as well and I had a feeling, Papa felt challenged.

"We had lunch together. Alexei was there, too." I replied, staying still in his arms.

It was nice to engulf myself with the warmth of his body. I could spend hours being his arms and never complain because it was one of the ways he could calm me down. Besides, we were having a different conversation and I had to keep it that way, in order to avoid him from asking anything else. "How was it?".

"It was great.

Our eyes met and we stayed still for the next few seconds. Matte had raised his eyebrow, somehow not believing it even for a little bit. My eyes rolled and I sighed deeply, "It didn't go as planned. It was horrible actually,
