DOMENICO 

'World's No.1 boy band', I read as I did a bit of searching myself.

Apparently this lot was famous and well adored according to every newspaper.

I zoomed in on their group photo and I did a double take as I recognized two of them,

 'RICCI!', I shouted and he hurriedly approached me.

'These two! These lunatics were the ones who kicked the football at me!', I exclaimed.

'Sir, then that means they're in this hotel', he stammered.

'Of course they are!', I exclaimed irritated.

My excitement wouldn't let me sit still, so I stepped out of the room to visit the terrace garden that I had noticed before. Just as I had closed the door, I realized that I was being watched and I smirked to wonder who could possibly be so nosy.

I looked up with a scowl but it was immediately replaced with awe as I realized who it was .

She looked gorgeous in that moonbeam dress which accentuated her features. Her brown hair was swept to one side and her eyes held such tenderness even though she had suffered inhuman torture.

Serafina, she was here.

She realized that I had noticed her as well, so she quickly disappeared into the room before her.

I made my way towards her hallway but I was immediately stopped by two men.

'I need to talk to her', I said.

'Sorry, this hallway is strictly for the band and no one else', said one and I scowled at him.

'I do not care for your stupid band, that girl is of very importance to me', I said but they wouldn't move an inch.

'Is something wrong?', called another man who approached us.

'Paul, this guy wants to talk to Valentina', he smirked.

That wretched name.

'Oh yeah? Who are you?', asked Paul looking me down.

'Who I am is none of your business', I said sternly.

'Yeah well then she isn't either mate', he said with a smirk.

I knew better than to cause a dispute as it would only lead me to lose her again so I gave him a nod and returned to my room.

'Whatever you lot are doing, stop!', I exclaimed and they looked at me.

'Serafina is here and it looks like she is going somewhere, I want you to find out where and I need to meet her tonight', I ordered and they all scrammed.

Ten minutes later I was informed with the update that Serafina was going on a date with a member of the band named Harry Styles. The nerve of him to think himself worthy of her company.

As planned they had found the restaurant as well, so I decided to head there first so that their security would never suspect us.

I sat with Ricci who was updating me about the band, apparently they were on a world tour. I assume they must have promised her a one way ticket home.

I watched as she entered with Harry, she didn't look very pleased though.

Why? Had he hurt her? I swear if he did, he would be singing his swan song as pleads of mercy.

'He seems like gentleman', commented Ricci.

'Excuse me?', I asked.

'He has a certain air about him, sir. He looks decently dressed and is talking in a very formal way', he said and I took a moment to observe him.

He looked young and I could tell that he was tall by the way he loomed over the table. His suit was clearly designer and he had long chestnut locks that fell in curls at his shoulders. He was quite handsome and I noticed he had a certain boyishness as well.

'If I may be so bold sir, he reminds me of you when you were a teenager', said Ricci and I gave him a cold glare even though I knew he was speaking the truth.

This Harry Styles was clearly the less aristocratic and English version of myself, he even had a bit of charisma in him. No wonder Serafina was with him; I couldn't help but wonder whether he reminded her of me.

'Why does Miss Serafina keep writing?', asked Ricci and I balled my fists up.

'She can't talk, Ricci. Those bastards abused her in such a way she lost the gift of speech', I said venomously and he gasped.

It was then that I remembered that she couldn't remember her past as well, meaning that she wouldn't be reminded of me when she was with him, but she must have something in her heart about me to make her choose him.

It seemed that Harry and Serafina were having a very serious conversation and they both looked very upset. Finally, Harry got up and left to the loo; that was my cue.

'Serafina', I said as I approached her and she looked at me confused.

'I learned that you go by Valentina now', I said with a smile but she still looked a bit alarmed.

'Please don't be afraid', I said, sitting down in the empty chair and she quickly sat up as if she were preparing to run.

'I won't hurt you, I just want to talk to you', I said gently and she nodded.

'First of all, your name is Serafina De Angelis, not Valentina', I said sternly. 'But most importantly, you are my fiancé', I said and her eyes widened.

'I know that you don't remember anything, I know that you were treated like an animal, but I have made sure that those men will never harm you again', I said and she looked at me in fear.

'You don't have anything to be afraid of but I need you to return home with me. You are not safe here', I pleaded and I noticed that her attention was no longer on me. I guess her date was back.

I sighed and got up to face Harry who demanded to know what was going on.

I smirked at his glare but I was impressed he wasn't the type to hide behind security when threatened.

I then nodded at Serafina who looked away and I swiftly exited the restaurant with Ricci at my heels.

'Now what?', he asked.

'She knows that I won't leave her, she will approach me', I said confidently and smiled to myself as I entered the car.
