"he has a reason"

The next morning, At the Moretti's mansion, country J-italy

(The atmosphere echoed in a hollow manner as they all ate in silence only the clattering of the cutlery and plates were heard. The perfect demeanor of the hall's silence was suddenly broken when a voice was heard)

Her: have you heard from your sister? how's she?, I can see she's ignoring my calls because she's still angry about maybe the fact that I didn't agree to her decision to leave earlier..( she said in a soft old Russian-italian accent)

Him: she's fine mom...

His mom: when is she coming home?...

Him: soon, let's not invade in the precious private quality time she's enjoying there...

His mom: if you say so..( she said and continued eating)( he on the other hand knew his sister wasn't in Russia as she said she would be at, and the fact that he doesn't know about her whereabouts yet is something he really didn't want his mom to worry about so he decided not to tell her. He also didn't want to ask his sister as he thinks he'd be sort of worrying her for he promised to give her time...he just wanted her to at least do something she wants for once as he thinks he's been over possessive of her life now and then. One thing also kept bothering him and it was the fact that he hasn't heard from her for about a week now. He then suddenly broke out of his thoughts as he heard his mom speak)

His mom: right? Vicenzo?...( She said as he looked at him desperately)

Vicenzo: hmm? what mom? per favore(please), my apologies....

his mom: what's on your mind? is something bothering you? are you okay?..(she asked in a concerned tone)

Vicenzo: y-yes,yes mom...

His mom: okay then, well I was suggesting that maybe when you're less busy sometime, we should go and have dinner with the Orlando's, what do you think?...

Vicenzo: as you wish mom...( He said and sipped his coffee)

His mom: maybe we can also arrange a date for you two to get married( she said as she glanced over to the honey blonde haired young lady seated next to vicenzo who had an amused warm smile on her face)( just the n)

vicenzo: mamma...

His mom: you've been engaged for ...( She was suddenly cut off when...)

Vicenzo: per favore (please) ! Mamma...( He said as he paused eating)..I don't want to talk about this,let's do this some other time,please,...("Vicenzo..." She uttered as she watched him peck the young lady seated next to him on the cheek as she smiled faintly back. He then stood up and left the two. The young lady felt somewhat hurt as he has always been avoiding such matters about their marriage and sometimes thinks that he doesn't even want to marry her anymore and is planning to put of the marriage...)

(After he left)

His mom: don't worry my dear, he'd come around ( she said with a soft smile as she also nodded and returned it with a slight faint smile)

The other side, back in country h-norway, the meadows mansion...in the suite

(The sunlight shone on her face as she slowly opened her eyes and found her self in the bedroom on the bed. Her heard hurt a little when she tried to remember what happened last night. She then slowly got out of the bed and tiredly walked to the bathhouse which was right in the bedroom opposite the bedside and at the far end as she took off her nightclothes and started washing up)

Still at the mansion, at the gym

Chloe: but that isn't a tangible reason for you to just confront him like that..and worse,to hit him...

Ian: so you expect me to sit back and watch him do whatever he feels like? to play with some poor innocent girl's feelings?...

Chloe: since when did you start to care about the girls Damian plays with? and besides she's not poor Ian, she's a moretti..

Ian: a what?...

Chloe: yeah...

Ian: wait... Vicenzo's sister?..

Chloe: yep!...

Ian: what on earth?..( he said as he was really confused now. He then sat on the resting bench as he wiped himself of the sweat with a face towel as he gulped in some water)

Chloe: you know, I told him but he somewhat seems to not care...as if he's forgotten of whom vicenzo is...

Ian: and I'm just knowing about this now?...

Chloe: heyyyy don't be mad at me... I recently found out too...I even wonder whether I would have met her that morning if I hadn't woken up that late...

Ian: this is fucked up.... It doesn't make sense.. what on earth does he want with her?... What does it want to achieve exactly?... that of all people... Have you thought about this?

Chloe: bro, being there done that... can't pin point any reasonable reason...

Ian: I'm telling vicenzo...

Chloe: no, don't yet...don't get in the middle....maybe he has a reason...

Ian: a reason that would benefit him or us all?...( Chloe just couldn't say anything anymore as he realized Ian was right... Damian was just doing all of this for his own satisfaction but some part of her thinks other wise..."was his brother finally inlove? After all this years?" " But how?..why her tho?" She thought)

(Meanwhile the other side)

(Bianca finished bathing as she put on a short flowery flurry dress and wondered where Damian was, she then assumed maybe he was in his office.so she decided to go there, as she got to the living room, something caught her attention; on the center table was her phone and other accessories she was in possession of; that night of her capture. Her face lit up as she took the phone and examined it with excitement, she then turned it on and ....)

Bianca:( to herself) so he's somewhat sweet after all ( she said with a slight smile as her smile suddenly faded for the moment she said that,she had flashbacks about last night. She broke down in the sofa with embarrassment as she thought of it)

In country Q-vatican city, at one of the Marino estates, in the office

Him: my men told me you declined my request...( An old deep hoarse voice was heard in an Italian accent)

Vicenzo: yes I did( he said as he maintained eye contact with him)

Him: may I know why?...

Vicenzo: your suggestion felt too unrealistic, I can't just give out fifty boxes of raw pure diamonds to a stranger I haven't even seen before in expectance of immediate payment by shipment later, I prefer physical direct market...

Him: I thought we trusted each other on this and our agreement was valid...

Vicenzo: we do, and you're right, but don't take my trust for granted, I smell a rat when I see one...

Him: okay, how about we make a different negotiation with him...

Vicenzo: please arrange with my secretary, I need to be somewhere at the moment, let's meet some other time...( He then arose to leave when)

Him: vicenzo...

Vicenzo: yes?..

Him: a minute please...( He said as he signalled that he sits, and he nodded and gently sat back down...)

Him: I heard you somewhat declined the thought of we arranging the date for your marriage between you and my daughter, the thought that was suggested by your mother?....

Vicenzo: yes I did...I just didn't want to talk about it as at that time..

Him: so when do you plan on marrying my daughter?...

Vicenzo: soon...

Him: soon isn't an answer vicenzo, she's been your financée for almost 2years, don't you think it's about time you married her?...

Vicenzo: Don Orlando, give me a little more time, I need to figure out some matters ...

Don Orlando: fine, but don't ever think of putting off the marriage...( He said as it felt like a warning)
