I decide on a simple black dress with matching heels for dinner. I pair it with diamond earrings and the necklace I got for my birthday. I apply some make up going dark at the eyes and a dark red lipstick. I curl my hair give it a spray of hair spray and I'm done.

I stayed in the room all day sorting through my closet and packing things away. He may of got it filled by his personal designer but I would rather have my own clothes. As I open the door and walk down the long hallway I finally reach the staircase. I walk down and as I look around I realise he didn't tell me where the dining room is.

I listen for voices and luckily I manage to follow them to the dinning room. As I walk in I halt when the conversation stops and everyone turns to stare at me. "Hello, Bella just sit where ever you like dear dinner will be served shortly," Mrs Ricci says and I smile and nod.

I walk towards one of the vacant seats and I sit down. The conversation starts again and it's then I notice that Luca Dante and Fedele are missing. "Have you settled in okay Bella?" Angelina says.

"Yes, I settled in fine thanks Angelina" I reply smiling.

"If you like I will show you around the rest of the house later I know Luca probably didn't have time to he's been very busy recently," She says politely.

"Thank you, Angelina I would like that," I say.

"Call me Angel everyone else does" before I can reply Luca Dante Lorenzo and Fedele walk in. Luca looks around the table before walking towards me and sitting down beside me. Dinner is served almost immediately and as I eat little bits of the pasta I feel Luca's hand tighten on my thigh.

"Did you have a good day today?" He says and I  turn to look at him in shock.

"Yes it was fine I packed my clothes away and I settled in well Angel has told me she will show me around the rest of the house later so I'm looking forward to that," I say and his hand tightens on my thigh.

"That's great Bella I'm glad someone is showing you around because I don't have time I'll be going to my office after dinner and I'm not sure when I'll be able to join you in bed," He says.

"That's fine I understand," I say in response.

He leans in to my neck and kisses it. "But be sure I will be there eventually and you should be ready because tonight I'm claiming what's mine there is no more waiting I have done enough of that," he says and pulls away I look into his eye and see the fire that is brewing behind them.

My stomach twists at his words and I push my plate away. He lets go of my leg and I excuse myself so I can go to the bathroom. I just don't know if I am ready to give away the last thing I own especially to such a man.
