The charm of Mr. De Luca

A Threat

Moments before Coco returns to Francesca's apartment, a heated conversation ensues between the girl and her lover, Fillipo. Roughly, the tall man threw Francesca's body onto the sofa. The man looks very angry. His face was unfriendly with perfectly glaring eyes. He is like a ball of fire ready to roll anywhere, and burn whatever he passes.

“I've warned you so many times, Francy! Why do you still defy?” snapped it. “I told you that I won't stay silent, as long as you're still close to the man!” snapped again. While Francesca just lowered her head while sobbing softly.

“Don't cry in front of me! You think I'm gonna feel full because of your tears? Basic cheap girl!” Fillipo unceasingly snapped at Francesca who at that time did not dare to fight at all.

“Listen to me, Honey! Your career is in my hands. Everything you've achieved so far, I can take it down so easily! I could have leaked this cheating scandal that you're doing! If my parents come to know of your foul behavior, then I will easily have them give you a black mark! Your career will be ruined instantly, especially since I also still keep video footage of the party that night. So, once again I warn you, don't you dare mess with me!” threaten Fillipo firmly. “To be honest, you're too sweet for me to hurt. So, I don't want to do that. However, I emphasize to you, think carefully about all the risks you will receive!” after that Fillipo then moved to the door.

"How do you know if I'm with him?" francesca asked softly in between her stuffing.

Fillipo laughed with satisfaction. He drew closer to Francesca who was still sitting on the sofa. "I may not be watching you all the time, but my eyes are everywhere! Lucky because I'm so crazy about you. Therefore, I will only give a light punishment. Anyway, I'm sure if my friends must have finished your stupid affair,” said Fillipo again lightly. There was no guilt at all on his face. He just seemed so satisfied. While Francesca looked at the man sharply with her wet eyes. He did not care even though the mascara he was wearing at that time faded and melted.

Francesca already knew what Fillipo would do whenever the man was angry with her. It will be locked for several days in the apartment, and will not be allowed to go out at all. However, for this time it felt like Francesca could not stay still. After all, he was very worried about Coco's state.

After confirming that Fillipo had actually left there, Francesca immediately reached into the phone from her bag. He tried to contact Coco. However, even though it has been tried many times, still the call is not connected. The anxiety was getting more and more in his heart. Francesca stood up and started pacing around restlessly, while continuing to hold her phone. He tries to think and be calm. He had to find a way to get out of his apartment.

Meanwhile, Coco has arrived at Mia's apartment with a battered face. After entering, he threw his body on the sofa. Sitting leaned with his head looking up at the ceiling of the apartment room. Coco did not care about the pain in her face. At that moment, he seemed lazy to think of anything. Coming back to Brescia soon, maybe it will be much better for him.

A moment later, Daniella emerges from the kitchen with a cup of coffee. He was so surprised to find Coco who was suddenly there. “Gosh! You surprise me!” pekiknya slow. He almost threw the cup of coffee he was holding onto Coco. However, his surprise is growing. He was increasingly overwhelmed when he saw the condition of Coco who was very chaotic.

“Yes, God! What happened to you?” Daniella immediately approached Coco and sat down nearby. He observed the bruised face of the brown-haired man from a very close distance. “Who has battered you like this, Ricci?” ask the girl again.

“Who else if not your sister's lover,” said Coco lazily.

“Fillipo?” Daniella scrunched her forehead. “How can Fillipo make you battered like this?” he said he couldn't believe it.

“Your sister's love told her delinquent friends to beat me up. Damnit!” coco grumbled with a tone so irritated.

“Yes, God. For a moment, I'll get the wound medicine,” Daniella then get up from her seat. It goes to the place where there is a P3K box stored. In addition, he also brought a basin of warm water to clean the blood on Coco's face that had begun to dry.

“Come here, I'll help you treat your wounds,” Daniella turned Coco's body so that it faces her. While Coco just resigned. He was lazy to talk or do anything.

While elsewhere, Matteo and Mia are still sitting enjoying the atmosphere of the club which is getting more and more crowded at night. Adriano returned to the VIP room and sat between them. “Sorry waiting a long time,” he said with an attitude that looks so calm. As usual, he sat down while putting his right leg over his left thigh. While his gaze was occasionally fixed on Mia who at that time still felt strange because she was not used to the frenetic atmosphere of the night club like that.

“Do you like the atmosphere here, Mrs de Luca?” suddenly Adriano asked a question devoted to Mia, making the beautiful woman in black immediately turn her head and smile.

“To be honest if this is my first time visiting a nightclub. I don't know if it turns out the atmosphere is very noisy like this,” said Mia. It was as if he was laughing at his own innocence.

Adriano smiled calmly without releasing his gaze full of admiration from the figure of Mia, especially when he found out if Mia was not a woman who is familiar with the night world. The admiration grew in him. “Very amazing. How did you meet Mr de Luca?” ask Adriano again. He kept trying to get to know himself. While Matteo was getting hotter because of Adriano's sweet attitude towards Mia.

“Are we invited here just to be interviewed about personal issues like this?” sidelines Matteo cold, making Mia can only wipe her forehead a few times.

“Yes, at least I don't feel sorry for having wasted my precious few minutes just sitting in this place,” Matteo said still in a very cold tone. Matteo did not want to talk much with the man who he thought was very annoying.

Adriano laughed softly. “Of course, Mr de Luca. I know you're a busy man. So, let's just go directly to the discussion of the cooperation plan that we will do,” said Adriano. He glanced at Mia for a moment, after which he returned his gaze to Matteo.

“I've opened several clubs in Italy. One of them is here, in Milan, and also some other big cities. I've heard about the quality of the wine produced by the de Luca family. Du Fontaine, very famous, and I think that classy drink should be in my club,” Adriano began to express his intentions.

“Good. Then?” Matteo responded to Adriano's words so coldly and as if he had no interest at all. Mia could feel that clearly. Matteo's thigh touched gently until the man turned to him. Mia smiled sweetly. It was a signal that Matteo could control himself, from all the anger he felt due to excessive jealousy towards Adriano. Mia just wanted to show her husband that she was still sitting sweet and faithful near the man.

Matteo exhaled his breath violently. If so, he will not be able to resist the wishes of his wife. “We can supply wine as much as you want. Our production is always excessive every month,” Matteo's tone began to soften. “You just send the proposal to Damiano's email. From there, we can learn your wants and needs,”.

“Alright, then. I will immediately draft our cooperation proposal. I'm really excited and looking forward to starting this project,” Adriano said. His blue eyes look sparkling. “I also have an apartment in Milan. It will make things easier. I can look into your plantation and winery, whenever I want,”.

“Seeing wine or Mia?” satir Matteo was sharp and tossed away.

Spontaneously, Mia landed her pinch on her husband's thigh, making Matteo grimace slightly in pain. “Excuse my husband, Mr. ..”

“Ah, don't call me Sir. Just Adriano alone,” cut the beautiful man before Mia finished her sentence.

“Pardon my husband, Adriano. Theo is just too tired after traveling far, especially because his condition is still not recovering properly,” explained Mia while smiling and showing off her dimples to Adriano.

“Just relax, Mrs de Luca. I can fully understand that. It must be boring when our movements become restricted," Adriano said as he glanced at Matteo who was staring at him sharply.

"It doesn't matter to me, because a little bit I can know the character of Mr. de Luca directly, not just from a few of my acquaintances,” while saying so, ' he said, Adriano did not let go of her gaze at all from Mia's pretty face. He even seemed to take long breaths many times.

“Now you feel your heart pounding, huh? After that what? You will say the word love to my wife, because that is also how I felt when I first met Mia,” interrupted Matteo who again could not control his emotions. As a man, he understood the true meaning of Adriano's breath.

“Theo!” sentak Mia with a dead red face. In the night, I don't know how many times Matteo's attitude made him sultry. While Matteo was quite surprised by the high tone of voice that was thrown by Mia for him. Matteo's breathing was increasingly hunting, a sign he was unable to dampen the turmoil in his chest.

“We continue this conversation via phone only, Mr. D’Angelo. Now that it was too late, it was time for my wife and I to rest,” Matteo stood up and forcibly pulled Mia with her left hand. Not to forget, he forced Mia to put on her coat again, then walked hurriedly left the VIP room and Adriano who was then only able to look on with astonishment. A moment later, there was a small smile on the corner of his lips.
