The charm of Mr. De Luca

Mia's Night

Coco immediately invited Francesca to return to Corradeo Castle, as it was already noon. After all, the helicopter that picked up Damiano, Antonio, and Marco had landed there. The three men were immediately welcome to head to their room to rest. However, Damiano preferred to tour the castle. He did know the figure of Corradeo de Luca and of course had many memories with the charismatic old man. Antonio, meanwhile, seemed busy monitoring the course of the party preparations. As Matteo's biological uncle, he felt responsible for the smooth running of the show.

“If your father and mother could see all this, they would be very happy because now you have a partner,”, Antonio said, glancing at Matteo who was standing next to him.

“Yes. Of course,” says Matteo flat. “Is it true if Uncle invites Camilla to attend the event later tonight?” search Matteo.

“Yes, that's right. Why?” Antonio asked back. “Camilla is the daughter of close colleague Roberto. Emilio Rosetti wasn't at your wedding, so I don't think it would hurt to invite Camilla to the party this time. However, unfortunately Camilla refused and I was unable to force her,” Antonio turned back to Matteo and looked at him for a moment with strange looking eyes. After that, he turned his attention to the servants who were busy with all kinds of preparations.

“Yes, I know that. However, actually I do not expect Camilla present,” said Matteo flat and cold.

Antonio smiled knot. He turned and patted Matteo on the shoulder. “You just calm down. I think the party this time will go smoothly and without any incident. You prepare. Guests located some distance from the island will soon arrive. Do not let us as the host disappoint them,” Antonio again showed a small smile although not clearly seen. While Matteo just nodded slowly. He then passed from there and immediately headed for his room to get ready.

By evening, the entire preparation was complete. Guests whose residence is far from Elba Island, began to arrive. Likewise with other invited guests who are around the island. They came there on speedboats. They did not want to miss the party held by the de Luca family, the big name of the family was known everywhere and so influential in the organization of the black world.

Actually, the party that was held that night was not a random party. Those who were invited to attend were not from the general public, but specifically for mafia leaders from various organizations throughout mainland Italy. Matteo leaves the responsibility to Damiano to select and compile all the important figures in the black world he will invite. No exception a big-time mafia frontman who is a close acquaintance of Damiano, namely Adriano D’Angelo. Handsome charismatic man who has been living in Monaco. It just so happened that the man was in Italy, so he gladly received an invitation from Damiano.

“Theo, Son. This is Adriano D’Angelo. He is the person I told you about,” Damiano introduced the man with a posture that is not much different from Matteo.

Matteo welcomed the handshake of the typical-faced man with a slight frown. He tried to remember Damiano's words. While the middle-aged man just laughed softly. He knew what his foster son was thinking.

“Adriano is the one who offers cooperation with you. He is interested in Du Fontaine belonging to the de Luca family,” Damiano explained as he glanced at the man he meant. Adriano replied with a slow nod. His attitude looks so elegant.

“Oh, yes. I remember,” said Matteo. He looked back at the man named Adriano who was also looking at him. “Of course, I always open the opportunity to establish cooperation with anyone as long as that person is trustworthy,” Matteo continued.

“That's an absolute thing, Mr. de Luca,” Adriano said. “Trust is indeed the main capital in establishing a good business. I think we can build a cooperative relationship with much more familiar, especially I have known Damiano,”, Adriano said, glancing at the middle-aged man who always looks friendly. While Matteo focused on observing every body language of the man before him.

“Yes. I hope you two can be good business partners,” Damiano said lightly.

“I've heard the great name of Mr. Roberto de Luca. He is an outstanding businessman. I have also heard the news about Young Master de Luca who managed to subdue many mafia oganizations, so that now managed to make them as allies. That's something really amazing for someone as young as you,” Adriano flattered with a smile that showed if he was a friendly person. Matteo only gave a slight smile. He is not the kind of crazy person to compliment. After all, Matteo did not yet know what the implicit meaning of the adulation was.

“If you really want to do cooperation with us, then we can continue the conversation later, or you can come directly to Casa de Luca and see the vineyards of the de Luca family,” tawar Matteo flat.

“Yes, that's a very good idea, My son,” interrupted Damiano agreed. Adriano smiled wryly. He did not have time to continue the conversation at that time, because of the presence of a sexy beautiful woman in her evening dress that looks so luxurious and striking.

“This is Madam de Luca? I heard the news about how beautiful your wife, Mr. de Luca,”, said Adriano, who was still watching Matteo with a woman who was none other than Camilla Rosetti.

That night, Camilla came alone. He who had not wanted to attend the invitation from Antonio, changed his mind. The girl decided to participate in the welcoming event as well as the introduction of Mia as the queen of Casa de Luca.

Camilla is so beautiful. He seemed to want to show all the charm he had to everyone, especially to Matteo of course. Camilla looks so graceful in a red evening dress with a sprinkling of small glowing beads, making her look very luxurious. As usual, he stroked her beautiful long hair with an adjusted order. The girl smiled sweetly as Adriano thought of her as the wife of Matteo.

“Oh, no! You guessed it wrong, Mr. D’Angelo,” argued Matteo made the smile on Camilla's pretty face instantly fade away. The girl now looks a little sullen. “My wife is still getting ready in the room, she will just ...” Matteo did not have time to continue his words, when accidentally the pair of gray eyes caught Mia's presence there. His eyes instantly changed when he saw the beautiful and graceful figure descending the rows of stairs, because it happened that the party was held in the hall on the ground floor of Castil Corradeo.

“Mia ...” Matteo murmur. Unknowingly he mentioned the name of the wife with a very deep voice, making Adriano and Damiano turn to look at Matteo's gaze. Awe in Adriano also immediately appeared. The man looked at Mia who was walking towards them so closely. He did not turn away in the slightest and seemed to want to defeat the admiration that was engulfing Matteo's feelings.

Mia looks so elegant in a very beautiful midnight gray dress. The top of the dress with a v neck accented sleveelees model looks flickering because of the sprinkling of swalowski crystals that decorate it. Meanwhile, the bottom of the dress dangles to the floor and is made of a kind of tile material in layers with hemispheres. Mia's beauty is increasingly visible in her makeup that is not too flashy, but still in harmony with her dress and hairstyle that she let loosely.

“This is my wife,” said Matteo who welcomed Mia's presence with her attitude that looks very different. Adriano was still unable to let go of his admiration.

Camilla's red face was extinguished when she realized that all the attention in the hall was seized for Mia who was walking gracefully towards Matteo. Especially when Matteo approached and thrust the arm that Mia immediately greeted with pleasure. Mia wrapped her slender hand there.

“Goodnight. How are things?” Mia stared one by one at the faces around her while smiling kindly. Only Damiano and Camilla did she know, while she did not know a man of great stature very much like her husband standing before her. “Who is that guy, Theo? I'm not comfortable with her gaze,” whispered Mia with a bit of fret.

Matteo, who was beginning to realize that, immediately cleared his throat. “The man was named Adriano D’Angelo. He is the one who will work with me for some time to come,” he said with a sharp eye towards Adriano.

“E un onore conoscerti (it is an honor for me to be able to get acquainted with you), Signora,” Adriano half bent, grabbed the fingers and kissed the back of Mia's hand gently and politely.

“No need to overdo it, Signore,” Mia low and immediately pulled her hand, then docked at her husband. He again wrapped his hands around Matteo's arms, making Camilla even more sullen about it. The girl turned her face many times.

Matteo's instincts started to work. He looked at the man in front of him and Camilla. Matteo judged that something was implied in the gaze Adriano addressed Mia, while Camilla was filled with envy and jealousy, making Matteo have to be extra vigilant.

Matteo wanted his party to run smoothly this time. He did not want the slightest thing to ruin the important event, because that night was a very special night for Mia.
