A few moments have passed. Matteo sat leaning on the head of his bed with a blanket on his stomach. He smiled knotfully as he watched Mia who had just gotten off the bed, with her beautiful innocent body. Without feeling awkward, Mia just waltzed into the bathroom. There is no more innocent Mia at this time, but Matteo really likes the change. Of course, only when in front of him.
A moment later, Matteo grabbed the phone he had placed on the table next to the bed. He then contacted someone while Mia was still in the bathroom. Matteo was about to call a trusted confidant, whom he assigned to watch over Damiano.
After a few buzzing calls, there was the baritone voice of a man from across the street who immediately greeted Matteo. “Bos,” greet the man.
“How is Damiano developing? Since when have you been with him?” ask Matteo without further ado. He also spoke in a soft voice.
“Since some time after you contact me, Boss. I immediately contacted Mr. Damiano and came to him,” explained the man named Zucca.
“Did you let your guard down so Damiano escaped your observation?” search Matteo flat.
“Not for a second, Boss! Mr. Damiano went to bed at midnight last night. While I kept watch beside him. Mr. Damiano only stayed in his room until now. He was also not seen contacting anyone. His phone is dead,” said the man at length.
“Good work, Zucca! Keep an eye on Damiano until I give you another instruction!” tell Matteo in a cold and deep tone. He was stunned for a while. Matteo realized, Damiano is not a figure that should be suspected at this time. Damiano has a strong alibi that he is not a servant killer and also the destroyer of his CCTV cameras. Moreover, Matteo had checked the condition of the corpse which clearly showed that the body had not died long ago. Matteo's estimation, the poor maid died less than two hours since she was discovered by him.
After a while, Mia came out of the bathroom with a white towel that covered part of her body. He also rolled his wet hair with a towel. Seeing Mia was done cleaning herself up. Matteo, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, immediately stood up and approached his wife.
Matteo hugged the body of his beloved wife who still felt moist from behind. He then gently kissed Mia's shoulder. “Thank you. You will always be my second life, Mia,” whispered to the young lady a sweet smile.
“Is your business this morning done, Theo?” asked Mia who was still curious about Matteo's strange attitude earlier, before they performed a routine husband-wife ritual.
Matteo looked at Mia's face from the reflection of the makeup mirror before them. The gray-eyed man smiled slightly. He did not want to discuss the matter with Mia. However, he also did not want to make the wife continue to wonder. “Yes, just a little problem with the bodyguards. There's some surveillance cameras that don't operate, but I've talked to Coco. He will check it out this afternoon,” obviously Matteo is trying to look as calm as possible.
“I think there's a serious problem. You looked so messed up,” Mia said as she played her beautiful eyeballs.
“All problems will feel heavy and serious, when I can't stop thinking about you,” Matteo's tease makes Mia glare at him. Matteo just smiled. He chose to go to the bathroom. Matteo also wanted to clean up soon. Mia immediately got dressed. He wants to do other activities there, besides staying in the room. His condition was also getting calmer at the moment.
After she finished dressing and applying thin makeup, Mia decided to leave the room. There he meets Marco. The man looked at her with eyes that looked very strange. “Hai, Mia. How are you today?” greet Marco with a smile that looks very scary to someone like Mia.
Mia forced herself to smile, even though she felt very uncomfortable. “It's been much better. Thank you, Marco,” he replied trying to stay friendly.
“Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. You also look very fresh today,” Marco put his face close to Mia's shoulder. “Hmm .. fragrance of flowers,” he said with a naughty mimic, making Mia soon pass from his presence. Mia did not like Marco's attitude which she considered very impudent. Her heart felt so irritated, but Mia was not the type of person who would instantly explode and vent all her frustration. He would prefer to avoid.
“Hai, Mia!” francesca suddenly appeared from another direction. He then walked to teach his sister. “You look very fresh,” lyrics Francesca naughty. The girl laughed softly. While Mia only responded with a smile. They kept moving towards the kitchen.
“Where is Daniella?” mia asked when they had arrived at the kitchen with a very comfortable atmosphere. Kitchen with curved-shaped lawang and various ornaments typical of Tuscany that is so thick.
“I think Dani is walking outside, or maybe in the pool, I don't know..” Francesca's speech stopped when she saw Coco passing by. However, the man did not look towards her. Coco's face looked very serious. Not long after, Matteo also passed by there. That guy is the same.
“What's with them?” francesca muttered as to herself.
“Why, Francy?” asked Mia who started busying herself with the kitchen affairs.
“Nothing,” replied Francesca indifferently. “I'm happy to be here. At least I can be free from Filippo interference for a few days,”. He helps Mia prepare the ingredients for the lunch menu.
“If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you end your relationship? Don't force yourself, Francy,” Mia's advice without stopping her activity.
“You know what my reason is, Mia,” refuted Francesca while complaining softly.
“I see Ricci is expecting you,” said Mia to leave Francesca stunned for a moment. Moments later, the girl resumed her work without saying anything. The two of them were busy with their respective jobs and kept each other quiet for a while, until Sorella walked into the kitchen.
“Mistress, you'd better take a break. After all there is a chef in charge of preparing food here,” Sorella said politely to Mia.
Mia looked over and smiled. “It's okay, Sorella. I get bored if I just keep quiet. After all Theo also did not forbid me,” said Mia. “How is your son, Sorella?” mia asked, turning to the thirty-year-old woman.
Sorella looks a little moody. As usual, he always put his face down. “It has improved, Madam,” she replied lethargic and sounding bitter, making Mia feel if there is something very serious with the woman.
“Good, Mistress,” Sorella nodded politely. He also helped there.
A moment later, Mia continued her work. However, not long after, he glanced back at Francesca. “Francy, are you going home tomorrow?” ask Mia. While Francesca at that time looked very serious about what he was working on. Instantly the girl with hazel-colored eyeballs then gasped. Apparently he was on the move while daydreaming.
“Ah, yes ... Mia´s. I .. I don't know, maybe so,” Francesca said with disjointed speech.
“Why aren't you here for a few days? Anyway, tomorrow me and Theo will go to Venice,” Mia said making Francesca immediately turn her head.
“You're going to Venice?”
Mia nodded slowly. “Theo took me there. He said if he wants to see his father and Valentino,” he said, smiling bitterly. Mia decided to continue her work.
Meanwhile, the look on Francesca's face also suddenly changed. “Mia, I ..”
“After Venice, I'll pick you up and Dani. We will leave for Elba Island together,” cut off Mia before Francesca can finish her sentence. While Sorella was just flinching there, listening to their conversation with a meaningful mimic.
“For what do we go to Elba Island?” francesca asked as she scrunched her forehead. However, the look in his eyes suddenly turned very enthusiastic.
“According to what Theo said last night, he had already prepared a welcoming ceremony for me,” Mia blushed in embarrassment as she lowered her face.
Francesca was in disbelief. “What kind of welcoming ceremony? Is it some kind of state event?” the question is getting excited.
“Entahlah. I was also the first time. Ah, I'm so nervous, Francy,” Mia said. His palms began to sweat, so he gave his job to Sorella.
While Mia chose to arrange the table and prepare all the eating equipment.
Not long after, Coco and Matteo walked together towards the dining table. It just so happened that the whole meal and everything was ready. Francesca looked clumsy, as Coco drew closer. Many times he looked away, standing behind Mia. While Coco continued to stare at him with a very seductive expression, Francesca made even more misbehavior.
Without saying much, Matteo immediately pulled up a chair and sat down just like that. The look on his face was so serious with glaring eyes. There were a lot of things that the man was thinking about.
Mia who noticed the oddity, immediately took a sitting position next to her husband. “What's up, Theo?” tanyanya slowly while gently rubbing Matteo's shoulder.
Matteo turned his head and forced his smile. He also fondled the back of Mia's hand that was still perched on her shoulder.
“Prepare yourself, Honey. We'll be leaving for Venice in a minute,” the answer is cold.
"today? I think we're leaving tomorrow" protested Mia, with her still-quiet attitude.
"After some thought, I think we should just go today. After all, there are many things that we must prepare to leave for Elba Island," Matteo replied with a deep smile. He touched Mia's cheek, then turned the plate still face down.
Mia looked at the husband closely. He knew Matteo was hiding something serious from him.
