CHAPTER TWELVE

“What was that?” Sasha asked as she looked around Giovanni’s house curiously. She was very nervous. Much more so than she thought she would be. “That man who attacked you and cut you with a knife.”

Giovanni wasn’t going to get away with pretending nothing had happened. She’d been sent back to work by Stefano. Sweetly, but still he’d given the order. By the time she had looked up from the wall where she’d been tossed, the assailant was gone and several men were wiping the floor clean.

Giovanni had come back to his table with the others several minutes later as if nothing had transpired. They were so casual and laughed so often she would have thought she’d hallucinated the entire incident, but his hands were swollen, his knuckles torn and there was a streak up his arm where the knife had sliced right through his jacket.

“That’s the kind of thing that happens when you’re a celebrity. People with mental illnesses fixate on you and you’re not even aware of it. He had too much to drink and got a little crazy. We’ve been talking about putting metal detectors at the doors for some time.”

His tone was casual and he waved his hand as if the entire thing was just an everyday occurrence, but she wasn’t buying it. “Where is he now? I didn’t see the cops arrive.” There was no way to keep the suspicion from her voice and she didn’t try.

“I’m not certain, Sasha,” Giovanni said. “Are you hungry? I don’t think you’ve been eating much since your stalker made his appearance. I watched you at Stefano’s and I’m fairly certain you ate three bites.”

“I wolfed my food down. I’m not one of those women who never eat,” she declared. “I’m always willing to eat, but I would like a shower.”

She desperately needed to breathe deep. She was in Giovanni Ferraro’s home. It was beautiful. Not at all pretentious. It was impressive, but beautiful. She loved the way the house was shaped in a long U. One side of the U was the master bedroom, bathroom, what appeared to be a training hall or very well-equipped gym, a theatre room and a large library that she could get lost in, as well as what she was certain was a nursery. Just looking into that room made her heart start to pound, as if she was looking at her future. She’d always loved the thought of children because she knew her brother would make the best uncle in the world and her parents, wonderful grandparents. In a way, that nursery was comforting.

The kitchen, dining room and great room formed the curve of the U with two bathrooms and a large pantry. She hadn’t visited the second side of the U, but she was certain it was equally as impressive. In the courtyard between the two long sides of the house was a swimming pool, an outside kitchen with a fireplace and a garden that easily could have been in a magazine.
