"I'm so sorry, sir, I forgot to lock the door. I didn't mean for..."
"Shhhh." He silenced me, placing a finger on my lips. He smelled like rich, masculine cologne and alcohol. 
I looked up at him; he was staring at me with something swirling in his eyes. Something I couldn't explain.
He slowly leaned down and pressed a kiss on my shoulder. My breath hitched in my throat.
I held my towel tight against me with my left hand and pushed him back with my right hand, taking a step back myself.
"I'm sorry, sir, this isn't right," I told him respectfully.
His eyes darkened as he grabbed my forearm tightly, making me look at his furious eyes.
"I am Alessandro Rossi, and no one tells me what is right and what is not."
He attacked my neck, peppering it with kisses as I just stood there.
"But you're drunk, sir," I told him.
"I'm in complete control of my senses, Victoria."

　　"Is that it? I'm sorry Victoria but I decided to play along with you all this while. I kind of guessed from the adoption leaflet peeking from your bag that you had beside you on the floor. I'm really sorry, I just wanted you to come clean by yourself. You looked like you still had not wrapped your head around the fact that you were expecting a little one. Forgive me darling." He said, still laughing.


　　I was stunned and shocked. Now I look stupid. I had humiliated myself once more.


　　"You knew? Why did you let me embarrass myself all this while." I sulked.


　　"I didn't. I just wanted you to tell me when you felt you were ready to open up to a stranger like me. I didn't want to rush or force you dear. It's your choice if you want to tell or not. It's not in my place to demand the truth or an explanation from you. You don't owe me anything, love." He calmly responded.
