It's 6:58 pm and Luca's driver is already here, I'm wearing a short white silk dress paired with some nude heels.

The drivers opens the door for me and we're heading to the party

Luca is waiting for me at the entry. And, holy hell he's absolutely breath-taking in his black suit. I take his hand and he leads me in the room full of people

"So, why are we here again? " I ask

"Well, in a ball room we met the first time so it doesn't hurt to repeat it"

A small frustrated laugh escapes my lips

"....And second, I don't want you in your father's house" he trails

"I basically live there if you forgot"

"Not for long" he murmurs

"What do you mean?" I try to says but someone is stepping in my way

"Nice to see you around here Ferrari!" he exclaims

This man puts a hand on Luca's shoulder like in a bro hug. Luca seems I don't know, frustrated or irritated. When the man looks at me like his famished, angry boils in Luca's eyes.

Luca circles his hand around my waist holding me tight to him

"Nice to see you Spencer" Luca says

"Aria meet Spencer, Spencer meet Aria"

We don't shake hands just a little smile that seems more like a grin his holding

"It's a pleasure, Aria" Spencer says

"Spencer is one if your father's partener in business, they work together since you were born" Luca says

"That's right, I know you since you were little but I don't think you remember me"

No, I don't remember him and I don't want to. Luca leads me to one of the tables and we sit down. Minutes after the food arrives we start eating and making small conversation with the other people who sits with us. Then we dance, laugh and smile. I love seeing Luca smile it just fills my heart with happiness. Everybody says he's bad but I don't think so. Spencer's cousin "Barron" I don't know his real name. From what I heard only his family knows. So, Barron is making a speech right now its seems that this party is for a charity. But I don't know if that's true. I'm sitting on Luca's lap, his hand resting above my hip and his shoulder supports my head. We stay like that for a fea minutes until Luca's phone starts ringing

  Luca

"What's the matter Julian" I ask

"I did the research you told me about and it's bad"

"I'm listening go on"

"It seems that Giacomo is not Aria's father, Diana had am affair with Lorenzo Esposito who is dead. He died 15 years ago in a car crash. I know you are going to ask me if Giacomo knows about him and I'm telling you he knows. Lorenzo died in Canada on the day od 19th December and guess who was there that day. "

Good lord, this is so bad. I don't know how Aria is going to take it. I want to protect her from everything bad on this world

"A last thing, don't take Aria to her house. A few minutes ago Marco called me and he said that it end up bloody, so I know you don't want Aria to see something like that."

"Thank you, if you find out more don't hesitate to call me"

"Everything good?" Aria asks me arching an eyebrow

"Yes" I respond

She rests her head on my shoulder and she closes her eyes from the world. She's tired and I don't think we need to stay here anymore it's not necessary.

"Princess,we need to go" I gently say brushing off a strand of hair behin her ear.

We reached outside and I see that she starts shivers, taking off my jacket I put it around her shoulders, leading her to the car. After a silent drive we arrived at my house. She didn't ask anything on the way. I know Aria is smart and probably she knows that something bad happened that I don't want her to see.

I go to my closet, take a shirt of the hanger and hand it to her. I already took a shower. She goes to the bathroom to shower and change. In the mid-time I put my phone to charge and check if I have some other calls from Julian. I'm sitting in the middle of the bed whem Aria comes out. My shirt on her looks incredible. I can  say that my princess is looking fabulous.

"Come here" I say to her

She walk toward me and I pull Aria on my lap. I start telling her what Julian told me. I hug her close and tight so she has a shoulder to cry on. I whisper sweet things to her, moments later princess she calmed down. I stand up with Aria in my arms and place her on my bed. I threw the covers over us. And we drift asleep holding each other
