Elianna's POV
I could feel myself being shaken as I slept.
"Stop, I don't want to have sex with you right now, man of my dreams," I mumbled as I turned from my side to my back.
His throat cleared. "Elianna, it's Enzo."
My eyes widened immediately and I blushed. "Enzo, did I say that out loud?"
"Say what out loud?" He asked and I relaxed.
Thank God.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Get dressed. You're spending the day with me."
I sat up. "What? Why?"
"You said you wanted to get to know me better right? This is your opportunity. Get ready, I leave in ten," he said before walking out.
I fell back down and put the pillow over my head. I felt stressed.
Two minutes passed before I jumped up and got ready.
After I finished putting on my makeup, I walked to the closet.
I didn't know what to wear. He was wearing a whole suit for crying out loud.
I put on a black turtle neck with a black, leather jacket and shirt.
I styled it with some jewelry and a black bag and watched my completed look in the mirror.
This should do the trick.
"Elianna!" I heard him shout from downstairs.
"I'm coming!" I shouted back as I stepped into my heels and went outside.
I turned back and grabbed my flats because I am not standing in heels all day.
When he saw me, he started to walk to walk out the door.
"Enzo, I need to have breakfast-"
He handed me a bagel with eggs and sausage.
"I also need my coff-"
He continued to hand me a cup of coffee.
I stayed silent as I watched him. He knew me so well.
He opened the passenger door for me and I got in.
"Thank you," I said as I got in the car with him.
He turned on the car and started to drive off.
I held on to my seatbelt as he accelerated.
I really hated when he drove. It's like this man has a death wish and the police never seem to stop him.
He looked over at me and slowed down a little.
He was still going very fast for my liking but at least it wasn't as fast as before.
We drove for a few more minutes before he stopped and got out.
I looked around and it looked like we were in a dump.
Is this where he wanted to take me?
He opened the door for me. "Do you think you're some kind of princess that I have to be opening the door for you all the time?"
"Yes," I said as I slowly came out. "What is this place?"
"Come on, the habour is at the back."
"What habour?"
"You'll see," he said as he grabbed my hand tightly. "Stick close to me. Understood?"
I tried to pull away my hand from him. Even just him holding my hand aroused me.
I needed help.
He held me down tightly. "Elianna, down here is dangerous and I need you to stick close to me. I promised your papa I would protect you with my life."
"I'm not some child. I don't need you to hold my hand!" I shouted. "I can handle things on my own."
He immediately let me out of his hold and started walking. "Whatever, just don't come running to me."
I silently followed closely behind him.
It's not like I was trying to act like a bitch on purpose but I couldn't help myself.
He was affecting me when he touched me and I didn't like it.
We soon approached two armed men standing at the gate.
My heart started beating faster. They looked so scary.
I walked faster so that I was directly behind of Enzo.
One of them opened the gate and we passed through.
We then entered in a yard full of crates and I could see the dock from afar.
Many people were here walking around and as we passed each of them, they halted.
I looked back to see this woman trip after she tried to slow down to a halt.
I soon bumped into something hard and when I turned it was a scary looking man glaring at me.
"I'm sorry," I immediately apologized but I made him more angry.
He grabbed my shirt and glared at me.
A clicking noise was heard before I turned to see Enzo holding a gun to the man's head with his finger on the trigger.
"Drop her," was all he said and absolute fear came into that man's eyes.
He immediately dropped me and I fell to the floor.
"I am sorry, sir. Please don't hurt me," he cried as he bowed to Enzo.
Enzo snapped his head to me. "I told you to stay close!"
"I know but I got distracted," I tried to defend myself but he turned away and started walking.
Everyone around me started to bow and my heart started beating faster.
I froze as I watched all of them. This was absolutely terrifying.
I felt something pull me and when I checked, it was Enzo.
I immediately hugged him out of fear and he froze.
"Elianna," he said as he tried to pull me off of him but I held on tighter to him.
"I'm sorry I didn't listen."
I could hear him sigh as he started tapping my back. "It's ok. Let go of me so we can go inside."
I slowly let go from his hug and held his hand.
Right now, fear triumphed my desire for him.
He lead me inside to where I saw Sebastian giving some other people orders.
"Seb," Enzo said. "I told you to find a replacement for Henry not be his replacement!"
Seb turned around. "I know but-"
He stopped his sentence when he saw me. "Elle? What are you doing here?"
Enzo stood in front of me. "That doesn't matter. Why are you here?"
"I should be Henry's replacement," Seb said.
"No!" Enzo shouted. "I need you to be flexible. I need you to be able to come when I need you to run an errand."
"I can get a deputy that can fill in for me."
"No!"
Seb poked his head to the side. "Help me out here, Elle."
"Stop calling her that!" Enzo shouted angrily.
Seb smirked. "What? Are you jealous or something?"
He scoffed. "Jealous? Why would I be jealous?"
"Elle, I think he's jealous," Seb whispered out loud and I laughed.
"Why would I be? I just hate when you call her that ridiculous name when her name is already beautiful!"
Seb and I both watched him in shock.
"You think my name is beautiful?" I asked and he facepalmed himself.
"Seb, find a replacement immediately," he said as he ignored my question.
"This was Henry's job. I can't let anybody just have it!"
"A job is a job. I need someone who can give their undivided attention to this place. Seb, you have your family to look after and my errands to run. You can't take on this place."
Seb lowered his head. "Let me at least watch over the new replacement for a few weeks."
Enzo nodded his head. "That is acceptable."
He the held my hand and started to walk off.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
He turned back to look at me. "We are going to get to know me better."
