As I bound upstairs, my excitement for a day of shopping growing with each step. I saw Alfonzo coming in my direction. As he approached me I couldn't help but be struck by his impeccable sense of style.

From his perfect coiffed hair to his polished shoes, every detail has been carefully considered. And then I noticed it-A holster. He was adjusting a handgun in his leather holster which he hid under his blazer.

Stella: What's on your agenda today?

Alfonzo: What are you trying to find out?

Stella: I think you forgot about my wardrobe updating....Take me to the mall.

Alfonzo: I have some work left.

Stella: I'll wait. Don't worry.

Alfonzo: Just don't make me loose my mind. I can't tolerate your acts full of silliness.

Stella: Don't say that. It'll not affect your mental health.

Alfonzo: I'm curious to see if this will hold true.

This man's vexatious conduct has left me feeling increasingly hostile, although it's worth noting that my personality shifts in response to others. I was lost in thought when his phone rang.

Alfonzo: Okay then. Let me show you my generosity. Follow along.

Stella: Is it a yes? Ooh thankyou so much.

Following his lead I went downstairs with him. I saw Stefano was standing there.

Stefano: Pal, take care of yourself. I can't assure your safety with her.

Stella: You just shut up.

Stefano: Dad asked for you. He's in his office.

He informed me while pointing towards his office. I gave him a nod and practically ran towards his office.

My father was sitting on his chair, facing towards the other side of the room. There were piles of files and papers stacked high on his desk, which is located in the center of the room. The desk is made of dark wood. His cigar is lit and rests in an ashtray on the edge of his desk. The smoke from the cigar mixes with the smell of alcohol and old books, creating an intoxicating aroma that fills the room. The light from a small lamp on his desk illuminates his face, casting deep shadows across his features.

Stella: You were looking for me,dad?

Allesandro: Principessa, come sit here.

He turned his chair towards me and offered me a seat on a black leather fauteuil.

Stella: Is there anything you wanted to talk about?

Allesandro: Nothing in particular dear, I just wanted to gave you this.

He said while handing me a gold foil card.

Stella: If you don't mind, may I ask what is this?

Allesandro: A loyalty card or you could say...... A credit card.

Stella: Is it mine? Can I have it?

Allesandro: All yours.

I got up from chair and embraced him in a lovely hug. He needed it and so do I. Saying him a goodbye I rush towards the entry hall to see if Alfonzo was still there or he left.

Stella: Ugh... scum bag!

"Oh miss, what happened why are you shouting?" Said the servant.
