Chapter 5:
The next morning Amara’s room
In Amara’s head: This will do. Surprisingly I slept well last night and that’s weird. Let’s go find something to eat. (in the kitchen)
Hailey: “Good morning Amara. Are you hungry? Would you like some pizza?”
Amara: “Morning. Yeah, sure. I’m starving.”
In Amara’s head: Mhm, it’s good. Really good. (in living room). I haven’t seen Drako since yesterday. Who should I ask about him?
In Luca’s head: What the fuck is Benz tryna do? Cretino…ha un desiderio di morte?
In Benz’s head: That ass.
Luca: “Non pensarci nemmeno.”
Amara: “Se fossi in te, lo ascolterei per il mio bene. Prima che mi giri e faccia qualcosa di cui non mi pentirò, dovresti andartene.”
In Luca’s head: She can speak Italian? Oh no.
Ryan: “What the hell are you doing here? Don’t you have more important things to do?”
In Benz’s head: Oh no. He looks so terrifying when he’s angry.
Benz: “I’m gonna go get it done right away, boss.”
Amara: “I wanted to talk to you.”
Ryan: “Leave Luca.”
Luca: “I don’t mind staying here, boss.”
Ryan: “I said leave.”
Luca: “Okay, I’m leaving.”
Amara: “I wanna take the little boy out for ice cream.”
Ryan: “Rico…”
Amara: “What?”
Ryan: “II suo nome…”
Amara: “Simpatico nome. Significa ‘Righello coraggioso’, non e vero?”
In Ryan’s head: It makes her look even more sexy when she speaks Italian.
Ryan: “Si. But why do you wanna take him out for ice cream? You don’t have to.”
Amara: “I want to and I promised him. I don’t break promises. Send your men with me.”
Ryan: “Why?”
Amara: “Because you don’t trust me.”
Ryan: “I’m not gonna send any of my men with you.”
Amara: “And why is that?”
Ryan: “Maybe because I’m coming with you.”
Amara: “Okay then why don’t you go and tell mama bear about our little plan.”
Ryan: “We’ll leave in an hour.”
Amara: “Okay. (in the living room)”
Ryan: “Slow down a little man. You’ll hurt yourself.”
Rico: “We will go to the park also.”
Ryan: “Yeah, we’ll go wherever you want.”
In Ryan’s head: Stunning.
Rico: “Angel, let’s go. (park area). Mhm, so good.”
In Amara’s head: I don’t know if I was ever this happy in my childhood.
In Ryan’s head: Her giggles. What the hell is wrong with me? I’ve known her for three days and I’ve already felt drawn to her in every way. I’m aching to touch her skin, to know how it feels to have her in my arms. Her heavenly fragrance adding fuel to my burning desires. I’m bewitched by this beauty. (Ryan’s on the phone)
Ryan: “Everything's fine here. He’s enjoying every moment. We won’t be home anytime soon I guess. he won’t let us, yeah. Bye.”
In Aria’s head: Come on, stop worrying. He’s with your brother for fucks sake. Nothing’s gonna happen. (a few hours later)
Amara: “Okay, where to next?”
Ryan: “I’m sure you guys are hungry. We’re gonna grab some food.”
Rico: “Yes.”
Ryan: “Then what are we waiting for?”
In Woman’s head: Who’s this girl with boss? I’ve never seen him bring any girl to the restaurant but I don’t blame him, I mean look at her. Even I’ll take her anywhere she wants, she’s breathtaking.
Woman: “Welcome, boss this way. The table you ask for is ready.”
In Amara’s head: The food was delicious. I caught Ryan staring at me many times and he isn’t trying to hide that. His beautiful emerald eyes peered at me looking for answers. Even though I can’t read his mind. Sometimes it’s easy to calculate what’s going on in his head. He’s curious about me. I don’t know when I ended up staring at him. Stop. I’m not supposed to feel anything. Even if he’s the most good looking man I’ve ever laid my eyes on or his beautiful emerald eyes are trying to tell me a lot of things. Even if his presence forces the storm inside of me to calm down. I can’t feel anything. I don’t wanna repeat the same mistake again and again. Or I’m not a fool to read the same story again and again and expect a different ending.
Ryan: “Something’s bothering you, alma mia.”
In Amara’s head: So he can speak Spanish too? And he thinks I won’t know what he just said right now? Did he just give me a nickname?
Amara: “No, I’m fine.”
Ryan: “Do you regret coming here?”
Amara: “Not at all. I think before making any promises, plus today was a good day.”
Ryan: “It was indeed but I heard you don’t like going out.”
Amara: “Yeah.”
Ryan: “Why is that?”
Amara: “You ask a lot of questions Mr. Accardi.”
In Ryan’s head: The moment my name left her lips, shock waves ran through my entire body. It fucking turned me on.
Ryan: “I’m just curious.”
Amara: “I can see that. I don’t like to go out because that’s how I am or maybe because I’ve already seen everything and my room makes me feel at peace and that’s what’s important for me, peace. Nothing else.”
In Ryan’s head: There’s a lot of things to know about her but it’s not the right time.
Ryan: “I’ve gotta make a phone call.”
Amara: “Okay.”
In Amara’s head: I know why he suddenly had to make a phone call. He must’ve noticed that man who’s been following us since this morning. I know but the question is…is he following Diavolo and Rico? Or is he here for me? Let’s find out.
Ryan: “Luca, someone's following us. Find out who. He shouldn’t escape, don’t mess it up. Tell Bruno to check all the city cameras to know when exactly he started following us. I want to see that mother fucker in the dungeon when I reach home.”
In Amara’s head: Concentrate.
Rico’s Mind: “Rico ate too much but Rico don’t wanna stop, it’s the last one, promise.”
Woman’s Mind: “I thought he was gonna propose today.”
Man’s Mind: “Why is she not eating anything? She didn’t like the food or what?”
In Amara’s head: Too many voices. Focus on him, you wanna hear his thoughts, focus.
In Man2’s head: Finally found you. The last heiress of Arnoha.
In Amara’s head: Heiress…! He’s here for me. But who the hell is Arnoha? Why is he calling me the last heiress of Arnoha?
