CHAPTER 7

Olivia Cooper

After a few hours, I woke up from my nap. I slowly open my eyes and stretching myself on the bed. I feel don't want to get up from this bed. I sat up and look at the alarm clock. I passing dinner time. Suddenly a knock on the room door.  "Come in," I said. Valentina came in. "Vale," I said with a smile. I called her in short form.  "Olive, Miss Lia is asking for you." She said. What does she want? I nodded my head. 

"You passed a dinner time, Olive." She said. "Yeah, I know," I said in lazily voice.  "I was too tired, sorry. I will take bath right now."I said. With tired eyes. I got up and walked toward the bathroom. Valentina was looking at me. I smiled. " Why on your neck are so purplish with bruised?" She asked. I froze. What? No. He not doing that! I cover it with my hand. "It's nothing, Vale," I said. "I understand, Olive," she said with a mischievous smile. I show her what do you mean face. She laughed. " Olive, I will wait for you in the dining room," she said with a mischievous smile. Oh! I think she knows it. I sighed. 

I walked into the bathroom and stop in front of the mirror. I take a look at my neck. My neck literally covers with a red bruise. He fucking kidding me! How can I hide it? I let it be for a while and take off my clothes. I need to take a long bath.  Pour a strawberry scent into the bathtub. I fall asleep for a few minutes in the bathtub. It is so relaxing. Done with bath and I put on a robe.

I walked out of the bathroom and walked into the closet. What should I wear? They buy me a short dress but I need to wear it or else I'm naked. I wear silk pink pajamas.

I on my barefoot. I look myself in the mirror. I need to cover the hickey. I take a concealer and applied it on my red bruised. I let my hair down to cover it.

 I walked out of the room and went downstairs. I went into the kitchen and Lia sits on the stool. "Hey, Lia," I said. "Olive." She said with a bright smile. I sit behind her. She such a sweet girl. "How was your day?" I asked her. Vale serves the food for us.  "It's pretty good, the party was so great. I was about to bring you with us but Raffaele does not allow. He does not want men looking at you, " She said with sighs. I froze. He's so possessive with me. Why did he being so possessive? I don't like a man that just possessive toward me.

" I would love to go," I said. "It's bored here all long day. Raffaele just stuck with his work. " I said. I didn't realize what I say. "what did you just say?" she smiles with a mischievous smile. "No, nothing. " I said with a nervous smile. She must think that I love being with him. Yes, I love being around him but sometimes he really annoying. I smile myself. I have good in term with Raffaele for now. I will try to give my heart to him. Maybe not yet. "Does your parent live here?" I asked and stuffed the food into my mouth. "No, they live at the other house not far away from here," she said. I nodded my head. 

Her parents seem doesn't like me being with Raffaele. "This is my brother house. I live here but my other brother has his own house, " she said. " who your other brother?" I asked her."Riccardo Romano, " she said. I think I have heard the name before. He ruined my family life. He should be in the prison right now. Tears filled my eyes. Because of him, I being stuck in here. "why are you crying, Olive?" she asked me. "It's nothing." I wiped my tears and smile. "I haven't seen him lately," I said. I wiped my teary eyes. "He such a spoiled brat. I don't I like him. But my parent really loves him," she said. I let out a small laugh. "You should try to learn him," I said. She shakes her head. She wrapped her arms around my neck. "One brother just enough," she said. I laughed. 

I heard footsteps toward the dining room and Raffaele walked toward us. He looks stressed. He stares and smiles at me. Lia unwrapped her arms.  "Hey, principessa." He greeted. He looks sexy and hot in a white shirt. His sleeves folded to his elbow. I swallowed my throat. I smile back at him shyly. I remember what happened this morning. That was so hot. "Hi, Lia," he said. "Now you want to greet me. After all this time you just being too serious," she said. "Go away," Raffaele said. I laughed. They like a kid. "I miss you," he said and look into my eyes. He pecked my lips. He kisses my lips in front of his sister and employee. I close my eyes. "Awe... " Lia and Vale say at the same time and smile mischievously. He walked to the fridge and took a bottle of water. And drinks it.

I averted my eyes to his Adam apple and swallow my throat. Lia keeps talking beside me. I can't listen to him and just stare at her brother. I feel Lia pinched my arms. I look at her. "What?" I said. "Get a room, Olivia," she whispered. I rolled my eyes. I take a look at him again. 

How can he be looking so good even drink water?
