I will never be his truly

Chapter 24: Happy life

"I want to give your gift," he says offering his hands which I take as he leads me out of bed

He leads me to his study sits on his chair and pulls me to his lap making me giggle

"OK, so what did you want to give me?" I ask and he smirks pushing my hair away from my neck and kissing it.

He takes out a beautiful ribbon box from his draw and passes it to me

I look at the box untie the ribbon open it and see a key.

I furrow my eyebrows confused and look at him, "What is this for?" I ask him and he stares at me seriously

"Come," he says dragging me outside to his car and putting me in front he takes my hand in his and kisses it well we drive to God knows where

"Where are you taking me?" I ask him and he smirks

"Patience Colomba," he says making me narrow my eyes at him we eventually pull up to a small building.

Antonio gets out of the car opens my door for me and takes my hand intertwining our fingers. He leads me to the building doors and I look at him like he is crazy

"It's locked," I say and he chuckles

"It's only locked because you have the key," Antonio says pointing to the key he gave me I look at him confused, and put the key in the door.

I open the door and I gasp to see a store of shelves that has books. I go inside and look and look at the books and see genres of different books there are enough books for a lifetime as I look everywhere.

I look at Antonio with shock all written over my face, " What is this?" I ask him

"It's one of your birthday gifts," Antonio says nonchalantly

I go towards him and say, " I can't accept this Antonio," I say and he smiles.

"I knew you were going to say that and that's why this whole place is in your name," he says taking out a paper

"Antonio I can't accept this you know this is a bookstore," I say making sure he knows what he just has me

"Remember you told me you wished you had a bookstore so you wouldn't have to buy so many so here, you now don't have to buy," he says and I look at him is he for real now

"But at home, we have a library," I say and he shakes his head in disbelief that I'm still debating with him about this matter

"You keep on purchasing online so why don't just own one," he says going to the whole store.

"Antonio who is going to run this I have a business," I say and he chuckles

"Don't worry it's sorted out I hired people to help you run this place and every month there will always be a delivery of new books and renewal of books," Antonio says

I look at him this man is crazy he just bought me a bookstore what man would do that?

"I can't accept it I just can't Antonio it's too much," I say and Antonio glares at me
