The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.- Charlotte Bronte

NICOLO'S P.O.V

I sat down looking straight to a particular place, as Gisella sat down. huffing in relief that she kept to her word to meet me downstairs before going to work.

"You're unusually attentive today, ain't you?" she asks me with an unfriendly tone.

I exhale at hearing her comment. "I am a bad person, Gisella, Trust me, I know." I pout out and noticed her staring at the scars on my naked shoulder.

her face went from unfriendly to curious about why I said that. "Signore, why do you say so? are you involved in bad unfinished business or Illegal deals?" I watch as she trails off, I sit right up in her stare.

I need to let her know, even though she won't stop calling me Signore instead of Signor, which means for the past months she has still not accepted me as her husband even though if our marriage was an Impromptu. I sighed, I can't bear lying to everyone, I even made Zeta, Alessandro, and Zia Benedetta lie for me. I got up, her eyes were trailing my scars, my whole body, I was just putting on a suit trouser with bare chest.

"I can see you!" the word came out grumpily. I noticed that her eyes went in illusionary shock. she raised an eyebrow and burst out laughing.

I raise a confused eyebrow and halt before I could walk to where she was sitting. "You don't believe me? does it sound like an episode of game of thrones?" I frown.

she looks at me deeply from the distance. "Is it a book?" she says, mockingly.

she stands to her feet immediately and carried her bag from her side. "That's pretty much a wonderful start." she pulls out her phone from her bag and looks through her phone, she walks closer to me and kisses my lips that were parted from seeing her laugh at me.

"I'll see you in a while I have an Interview today, don't miss me much, I'll be back by eight, bye love." A nod of my head and a "bye" that came out as a whisper. she looks at me once more goes out from the door living me in shock that I can barely even notice that my mouth was open. I sat down back on the sofa. As Zeta and Alessandro walk up to me smiling, Zia Benedetta was smiling towards me and she closed my mouth with her hand.

"She didn't believe you when you told her that you can see her," Zeta voice out, but I was just looking at them.

"She kissed me, she...she...my wife kissed me, you guys saw it too right? what has gotten into her? she even used the word love for me?" I ask a separate question.

"I'm quite amazed, she kissed you, I think she has fallen for you, or the other way round," Zia Benedetta says.

"Yes, Signorino, we saw it too, but I wonder why she didn't believe you, and she didn't even let you finish," Alessandro said.

The knot that tight my stomach hasn't eased from the kiss and I know for a fact it won't even begin to do so anytime soon . why am I such an asshole?

grumbling and feeling happy at the same time made me feel foolish, I never loved her, she is just a bait for my father's so-called plan. I mean yes I told Gisella that I can see her, I was blind but now I can see, I was only acting because I did an eye surgery years back, but decided to make use of the problem at hand with anyone knowing, except Zia Benedetta, Zeta, Alessandro, and few persons, to be able to find a clue about the kind of people that I was working with, Just one key factor that I didn't make clear to her was given her evidence that I can see her. I seriously need to clear my head. She has to know that we didn't really make love that night.
