Chapter Forty Two

"Because I don't need you to assist me in my work anymore."

My throat goes dry and my palms sweaty. "But I thought things were going well between us. You're just going to leave me?" I sniff.

Confused, he looks me up and down. "I never said I was getting rid of you. Don't you think it would be weird if you worked for me and we continue what we're doing?" He asks.

"You didn't have a problem with it before, Vincenzo."

"You don't want to be distracted from my work." He adds.

"So where will I live and how will I provide for myself?" I question.

He smirks. "You can still live here and I'll take care of you."

I stop and think for a minute. "I don't like the idea."

"Why not? You won't need to worry about anything anymore."

"I don't want to wait around all day with nothing to do aside from pleasing your needs. I don't want to be a housewife, Vincenzo. I want to work for everything I do. I'm a strong, independent woman and as cliche as it sounds, I want to work for my money." I ramble.

"Okay, but having you work in a public place isn't safe."

"Why not?" I quiz narrowing my eyes at him.

He took a deep breath and closed his laptop. "You do know that aside from running a business I do dirty work in order to survive."

I already had an idea on that but he never really confirmed it. "What, you're in some sort of gang?" I joke.

He gives me a serious look and I start nervously chuckling. "I kind of already knew but I didn't know exactly. Do you like, kill people?"

"I'd never hurt a fly." He smiles but I knew that was a lie. I give him one of those 'I'm not stupid so cut the crap' looks. "Okay, I kill people. Like a lot of people. Like a lot of times. When we went to Italy I'm sure I killed at least 2 people." He confesses.

I slightly shudder at the thought of someone begging for their life in front of him and him just killing the person like it's nothing.

"You're scared of me now, aren't you?" He asks standing in front of me.

"N-no. I'm not." I stammer which causes him to raise a brow. "I'm not scared of you Vincenzo. I'm just-."

He hugs me gently, cooling me down. "If you have so much blood on your hands aren't people mad at you and want to kill you?"

"Yes, and I don't want anything to happen to you. You mean a lot to me, Arabella." He spoke gently kissing my neck.

"I know," I smirk, playfully.

"You know? Where's my 'I care about you a lot'?" He questions.

I just smile and raise my head up to kiss him gently on his lips. "I don't have to tell you that because you already know it."

He copied my smile and began kissing me but was quickly stopped. "How about you do one more job for me as my secretary?"

"And what would that be, Mr Varallo?" I grin remembering what I use to call him.

"Find me a new assistant."
