The charm of Mr. De Luca

Bagliores

Rona is in disbelief adorning Mia's face, as she gets off Matteo's car. He looked around Cassa de Luca's courtyard. Mia still clearly remembered everything that happened the last time she came there. The shadow of Valentino's face was suddenly present in his eyes. The sadness and regret came back to say hello and made him feel guilty.

"Come, Mia!" bring Matteo. He grabbed Mia's right wrist and grasped it so tightly. Matteo was afraid that she would run away from her life again. The gray-eyed man continued to lead Mia into the magnificent Tuscany-style building.

For the first time, Mia set foot on a tile-lined floor with beautiful mosaic art. That place, was the most comfortable palace he had ever been to. The atmosphere was so warm and not as scary as Mia thought.

Matteo did not let go of his hand, even when there were three men who welcomed him and Mia in the room. Damiano smiled broadly as he hugged his foster son. While Antonio looked at the two lovebirds with the look of his strange old eyes. The other with Marco. He looked at Mia with mischievous eyes accompanied by a gnarly smile.The man watched the beautiful woman standing next to Matteo, from toe to toe.

Mia's legs are decorated with 7 cm pump shoes, so interesting to Marco. The man rubbed his misty chin many times. Not a single bit of Mia's movements escaped his attention. Mia did look very pretty that afternoon with her short-sleeved blue sheath dress. He looks so elegant and classy. The young woman is indeed worthy of being juxtaposed with Matteo.

"Benvenuto a Cassa de Luca (Welcome to Cassa de Luca), Mia," welcome Damiano. He kissed the young woman's forehead warmly, as Mr. Gio did to him. Momentarily Mia smiled. There was a haru taste that also accompanied her sweet smile.

"Grazie (Thank you), Uncle," replied Mia who immediately made Damiano laugh. Mia looked astonished. He then glanced at Matteo who was just a little smile at him.

"Damiano prefers to be called by his name directly. He doesn't want to be considered old" Matteo joked lightly. He seemed to not care if Damiano would be offended by the word "old" he just said. But the truth is so. Damiano laughed even wider.

"Matteo is my favorite son. He knows me well" Damiano said, turning his gaze to Matteo and Mia in turn. "Alright, Mia. It was time to get acquainted with the other members of the de Luca family, "Damiano turned to Antonio and his son Marco, who had stood up and observed Matteo's future wife.

"That's my uncle, Mia. He was the older brother of my late father. Uncle Antonio de Luca and his son Marco," Matteo introduced the two men. While Mia was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two men with a strange feeling. However, he was soon dispelled by the feeling, especially when Antonio and Marco approached him.

"Benvenuto (Welcome), Mia," greeted Antonio in his flat style while nodding softly. Mia replied politely. He also smiled softly.

"Benvenuto, Bella dona (Welcome, Beautiful lady)," Marco greeted Mia and kissed the back of the hand for a few seconds. What he did had taken Mia a little surprised. While Matteo just turned his face while clenching his hands. He just had to wait for the time to present the fist, to his lazy and useless cousin.

"We've arranged a time for a meeting with the elders of the organization. They have agreed to hold a meeting tonight in the hall of Cassa de Luca. Prepare yourself, son!" damiano said as he patted Matteo's arm. A moment later, he turned his gaze to Mia. "You too, Mia. Prepare yourself. I'll get Sorella to help prepare everything you need" she continued.

"Thank you, Damiano. I'll take Mia to the room, and please tell Nico to bring this beautiful lady's things to my room. Everything is still in the trunk of the car" Matteo said calmly. He again led Mia as she passed by to his room.

"Am I going to sleep in your room, Theo?" mia asked with an unconvinced expression, as they had arrived inside Matteo's room.

Matteo turned his head and smiled knotfully. "Why indeed? The atmosphere of my room is not as sweet as your room, Mia. However, I make sure you will feel comfortable here," said Matteo quietly as she gently stroked Mia's pretty face. Not yet had the brown-eyed woman answer her question, Matteo had already landed a kiss on Mia's lips. Matteo doesn't seem to get bored doing that. She just let go of her kiss from Mia, when someone knocked on the door.

"Just put it near the closet!" matteo's words to the young man who brought Mia's things. Mia herself had not brought all her belongings to Cassa de Luca. After all, Matteo forbade him to carry too many items. After laying the suitcase, the other young man, Nico, immediately came out of the room. He did not want to disturb his master.

After Nico's death, Matteo then belied Mia who was still glued by the window. The beautiful woman looked far away. I don't know what's at the center of his focus that he seems so serious. "What do you see, Mia?" ask Matteo. He stood at the side of the window, leaning his arm. While the two gray eyeballs were sharp and fixed directly to Mia who was still silent.

Moments later, Mia returned Matteo's gaze with a soft look in her eyes. "I've searched your name on the internet. However, what appeared was a picture of the plantation. I didn't know who Matteo Belluci really was until I saw a tattoo confirming that you were Matteo de Luca" Mia said.

"I just feel astonished. You're a brave man, Theo. However, you were afraid to admit who you were before me," softly, Mia's tone sounded so sweeping in Matteo's ears.

"That's the first time I've ever felt afraid of something, Mia. Never have I felt so anxious to think of someone with .... You know? Returning from Palermo, I stopped by Venice to see how you were doing. You looked so sweet back then, so innocent and ...." Matteo smiled faintly as he recalled the toughest moments of his life. A feeling of love that is impossible for him to realize, because it is blocked by circumstances.

Mia averted her eyes from the beautiful scenery of Cassa de Luca on a beautiful figure that was no less beautiful. "When did you start liking me?" the question sounded so innocent from Mia's lips, that it made Matteo again sing her little smile. The man looks a little shy.

There was a heavy sigh of Matteo. Somehow he hesitated to answer a simple question from Mia. However, in the end Matteo returned to his voice. "I've liked you .. ever since you gave me a drop of water and quenched my thirst. At that time, my throat was so dry that even breathing was difficult. You're like a life to me, and I don't know. Everything feels so strange" Matteo said. Then he looked out the window. The plantation workers were busy harvesting wine.

A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. "That must be Sorella. He'll help you get ready for tonight's event" Matteo said. He wants to move towards the door. However, Mia immediately grabbed her arm. His face looks worried.

"I'm so nervous, Theo," said Mia softly.

Matteo turned his body so that it faced Mia. Caught the beautiful face of the lover he just found back. "You don't have to be nervous let alone scared. As long as I'm around you, you'll always be fine" replied Matteo, with a soulful kiss on Mia's forehead. After that, he went to the door and opened it.

Outside the room had stood a woman with an age of about thirty. Her hair was blond, she was bun neatly on the back. The uniform was different from the one worn by the servants at Cassa de Luca. The woman looked much more presentable, as she wore a three-quarters white shirt paired with a knee-length sponge skirt. "Good afternoon, sir," he said respectfully to Matteo, who looked like he was watching him in detail.

"You're Sorella?" tanya Matteo was flat and cold. The look on her face and the sweet look she showed in front of Mia, instantly changed when faced with someone else. After all that happened, Matteo deserves to suspect all the new people who broke into Cassa de Luca.

"Yes, Sir. My name is Sorella Vidal" replied the blond woman with a downcast face. Not long after, Mia came to them both. He stood next to Matteo and watched the woman.

"alright. Your job is to help prepare everything that Mia needs. I think Damiano must have told you before" explained Matteo without letting go of his sharp gaze. Sorella did not answer. The woman just nodded slowly. While Matteo still continued to observe him closely. This made Mia wonder.

"Theo?" Mia touched the arm of the man next to her gently. Matteo suddenly woke up. He then looked at Mia. His sharp gaze also disappeared again and changed into a loving gaze.

"Prepare, Mia. Soon the meeting will be held soon," said Matteo flatly as it passed. However, he turned back to Sorella for a moment.
