Chapter Seven

Giovanni

When we finally reach the villa, Amelia has well and truly crashed. I lied to her on the plane, but I did so for her own good. Although no one was killed in the fire, a staff member was burned and admitted to the hospital. They'll survive, but I know Amelia, and thinking about them in pain will haunt her.

Although, I clearly don't know my sweetness quite as well as I had thought. If anyone had told me that she would set a fire in such a way, I never would have believed it. It seems Amelia has a fight in her much deeper than I ever imagined.

After the plane landed in Italy, we took cars from the airport and drove to the villa. It was when we got within fifteen minutes of the village that Amelia fell fast asleep leaning against me. The cars have come to a halt, so I open the door and gently pull Amelia into my arms. I carry her into the house and pass Maya who is waiting at the door, hands clasping and unclasping.

“Is she okay?” Maya asks.

“She will be,” I say. “She's exhausted, so I'm taking her to bed, but I'm sure in the morning she'll want to speak to you. Thank you for all you've done, and thank you for staying to see her when she got home.”

“It's nothing. She's my friend.” Maya reaches out and gently brushes her hand over Amelia’s hair, then she gives me a smile and turns and walks down the corridor.

I think that young woman has much more depth than she lets on. At first, when I met her, I figured that Damen had fallen purely for her looks and her glamor, but as I've gotten to know her, I believe he chose well.

“Giovanni!”

My nonna comes rushing out of the kitchen as I walk by and shouts so loudly that Amelia jumps in my arms, making a soft snorting noise against my shoulder.

Amelia opens her eyes, rubs them, and smiles softly at Nonna.

“Bella ragazza,” Nonna cries out as she takes in Amelia, pale and dazed in my arms.

“It's okay, Nonna. Everything’s all right. I'll talk to you in the morning. Amelia is exhausted, and I want to get her to bed.”

“I'll send up some herbal tea and some slices of cake I made this afternoon in case she gets hungry.”

“Thank you, Nonna.”

I say my goodnights to Matteo and Marcello, thanking them profusely for their help, and then I ascend the stairs to the bedroom suites. I have my treasure in my arms and back in my house. This time, though, she isn't a pawn in any game—she's my future wife.

Of course, she doesn't know that yet. It's going to be a hard conversation when I tell her about her mother, but I want her to understand that she has a family now. My family is her family.

Holding her in my arms, a wave of possessiveness washes over me. I need to cherish and protect. Where before I only wanted to dominate, to own, now I want to help nurture and grow.
