A NIGHT WITH MATTEO (1)

Standing near the rooftop has always been Matteo’s habit, especially when he sought some peace of mind to take his troubles away. Matteo had come up to the rooftop to clear his thoughts regarding Isabella after the unexpected kiss that occurred between them, yet nothing had been working. He craved for her presence, which was why he had ordered Sofia to summon Isabella at the roof-top right away.

Matteo had always wanted to be alone since Lucia departed, but now he feels like he needs someone besides him, and that’s Isabella. He desires her and must have her at any cost.

As the howling cold breeze mingling with Isabella’s tempting scent grazed Matteo’s face, he inhaled deeply to soothe his worries. Matteo brushed his hair back from his face. He hasn't felt this peaceful in a lifetime.

Isabella sensed that he needed some time to himself to think things over, so she kept her composure behind his back and waited for him to speak before proceeding.
