The charm of Mr. De Luca

Delusional

Matteo doesn't want to worry too much about it. He must focus on the main event in the party that will be held, especially when he saw Antonio and Marco were already present there. "Can we start the show, Damiano?" whiskey Matteo.

Damiano looked around. His pair of green-colored eyeballs, swept out one by one the faces present there. They seemed to enjoy a very famous wine meal belonging to the de Luca family. "I think all the guests are here, son. You can start" Damiano replied, touching Matteo's back. The man who was the chairman of the Organization de Luca nodded in agreement. Previously, he approached Mia who was busy talking with Francesca and Coco.

"Darling, come here" Matteo grabbed Mia's slender waist and carried her slightly away from the two lovebirds.

"What's up, Theo? Is the show about to start?" mia asked with a voice that sounded very soft.

"Yes" replied Matteo. He looks a little agitated. That made Mia frown. Unasked, Mia immediately tidied up the suit and bow tie that Matteo wore that night. She also rubbed her husband's face with a neatly shaved beard. "You're very handsome tonight" said Mia, accompanied by a sweet smile.

Matteo replied with a calm smile that he was hiding. Sometimes the man looked down and then looked back at Mia. "You are the most beautiful," replied Matteo as she gently stroked Mia's pretty face. A moment later, Matteo immediately began his welcome to the invited guests who had attended entirely.

"Buona sera, signore and signori. Benvenuti al Castello di Corradeo (Good night. Welcome to Corradeo Castle), "welcome Matteo who immediately makes the atmosphere become silent. All eyes were on him. "Grazie per la old presenza (Thank you for your presence)," Matteo stared at the invited guests standing in the front row.

"It's a very important night, because tonight is a special night. Look at the beautiful woman standing there," Matteo directed the attention of the invited guests towards the direction where Mia was standing. The young lady tried to keep a calm look and get rid of all the nervousness in her. He gave a mamis smile.

"Florecita Mia de Luca. She is the great mistress of our family. This feast, purposely organized to welcome her presence as queen of the Clan of Dr. Luca, wife of Matteo," proudly greeted Mia who was then heading towards her, in every step that shows the elegance of the woman.

The beauty and softness that emanated from within Mia, had succeeded in bewitching everyone in the spacious hall, not least Adriano D'Angelo who had paid more attention to her, he said, from the beginning he saw Mia. Camilla looked very disappointed.

“You should be the one standing there and getting the respect of everyone,” whispered Antonio who suddenly just stood next to Camilla. “What will you give Mia as a procession gift later?” tanyanya.

“We'll see later, Uncle,” looks Camilla is sharing her cynical smile.

In the welcoming ceremony of the new queen in a clan, there is a procession in which guests give their valuables to the queen. Similarly, that night, several tuxedo-clad servants were seen carrying luxury chairs with high backrests, like a throne. They sat Mia there. Matteo was standing right behind his wife.

Moments later, several other servants pushed a gold-plated luxury trolley containing special items with stickers bearing the names of each of the invited guests. Damiano came forward and approached the trolley. He then took one by one the precious things that would be given to Mia.

Damiano put his glasses on first. The man read the name on the sticker. “The first gift came from Mr. Giordano Verga with his wife. They gave a pearl necklace that was specially ordered for the core members of the Verga clan,” Damiano said as he raised the necklace to the highest level.

Giordano Verga and his wife came forward. He received the pearl necklace from Damiano. After that, he then gave the necklace to Mia with a slight bow. “You will always be welcome at the Verga mansion, whenever you visit, Nunya de Luca,” Giordano said with a big smile on his face, as well as the wife.

“Grazie, Mr and Mrs Verga. It is an honor for me to be able to receive a gift from the two of you,” reply Mia friendly who was greeted head nod of the couple. After that, Giordano and his wife returned to their place.

Damiano started taking one more gift and mentioning the name of the other invited guests, until it arrived on the name of the last invited guest, Camilla Rosetti. With confidence and a resplendent step, the girl approached Damiano and picked up a bottle of expensive perfume that only contained half of it for Mia. “This is my most precious item that I will give to Madam de Luca. A birthday present from last year. Matteo de Luca who gave it to me special,” said Camilla proud and loud enough. He also blinked one eye at Matteo.

Suddenly, the hall room that was originally quiet now turned into a low boisterous, to the point that Antonio had to intervene to calm the guests and relieve the atmosphere.

No matter how red Mia's face was with Camilla. However, fortunately Mia can control her emotions and not be provoked at all. He turned to Matteo who looked to be twitching the base of his nose. Mia's gaze seemed to ask for an explanation to her husband. Matteo who realized that, immediately leaned towards Mia while whispering, “I'll immediately drive the woman from here,” he said calmly.

At first Camilla was like to protest to Matteo. But in the end, he could not argue. The girl resigned as two bodyguards led her out of the hall. All eyes looked at the beautiful figure until it no longer looked there. Another case with Coco who was holding back her laughter. "That's the fool of my best friend" whispered Coco to Francesca who was standing next to her. The girl snorted. "You're the same!" he said with a little annoyance.

Mia still shows an attitude of dislike with the incident earlier. His friendly face had disappeared and changed into a grim mimic. “I'm sorry, Cara Mia," said Matteo full of regrets. He did not think that Camilla would act so foolishly.

Mia did not answer. He stood up from his chair and was about to leave from Matteo's side. However, before that was done, the beautiful man first blocked his wife's arm. “Please don't behave like that, Mia. You're the owner of this party. Hold on until the show is over. I don't want the guests to judge badly about you. You must look tough in front of them,” persuaded Matteo.

“Oh, fine if that's what you want, honey. I will be tough as you wish,” Mia said in a cynical tone, “but, before that I do .. I have to go to the toilet first. There is something that cannot be held, no matter how hard I try,” he continued in a flat tone.

Matteo immediately untied his grip on Mia's arm and let the wife go from the front. The man turned his attention to the guests. “My wife will be back in five minutes. He has to go to the toilet,” Matteo said as he forced his smile. Glanced at Coco who was still watching him while holding back a laugh. Matteo knew, the man would definitely mock him.

Meanwhile, Mia was already standing outside the hall room. There were two guards standing on two sides of the entrance hall. Mia smiled at them. He then walked hurriedly to a door that read ‘tiny room'. Mia entered the toilet and closed the door violently. For a moment he leaned there.

Mia just wanted to spill her chest tightness, with no one to see. Never did Mia think that jealousy would feel this painful. Many times he took a breath and exhaled slowly. Mia tried to calm herself down. However, her tears still dripped even though it was not too heavy.

A few minutes have passed. While Mia was still in her position, until a slow knock at the door was forced to stop her crying. “Mistress, Mr. Matteo told me to check your circumstances,” heard Sorella's voice from behind the door.

Mia opened the door slowly and saw Sorella's tense face. The woman even looked pale with sweat pouring out. “Sorella, are you okay?” Mia who was feeling worried, immediately grabbed hold of the woman's shoulder. Sorella shook her head slowly. He was getting tense, as Antonio walked towards him.

Mia turned to Antonio who was getting closer. “What's up, Uncle?” tanyakanya.

“You all right, Mia? Theo is very worried about you,” said Antonio who is now standing in front of Mia. Sorella slowly edged. The woman tries to get away from Antonio with a mimic that looks like fear. This made Mia a little suspicious.

“A-I will catch up with Theo,” a little nervous, Mia intends to leave the place as soon as possible. However, his move was immediately stopped by Antonio. The middle-aged man blocked Mia's arm, until the young woman grimaced in pain.

“Not to rush. I asked her permission to take you to the park. Who knows by breathing the air outside, you can calm your feelings,” the pretext of Antonio with his grin that looks strange.

“Ti-no need, Uncle. I've been feeling better,” reject Mia stammeredly. He also looks agitated.

“I don't think it was the right decision,” Antonio reached into something from inside his suit pocket. A small revolver he pointed right at Mia. The muzzle of his gun was even attached to the waist of his nephew's wife.

Mia was surprised by that. However, there was nothing he could do, other than obey Antonio's orders which then led him out. "Be reasonable" he whispered.
