I donât have any way to call Anaâmy phone and anything else that was in that little clutch that I took with me the night I was kidnapped is long goneâbut I assume that Luca will delegate the particular task of letting her know about the conversation to someone. Probably whoever âCarmenâ isâIâm guessing his secretary.
Ana shows up partway through my hair appointment. The stylist, a tall blonde woman named Brigit, took one look at my hair and made a face that told me that weâd be struggling with it for a long timeâitâs apparently, in her words, âdifficult to salvage,â thanks to all the bleaching kits and box dye Iâve used on it over the years. I havenât bothered to get a haircut in probably eight or nine months, so several inches of it are lying on the floor now, leaving it just below my shoulders. It feels lighter already, but Iâve been sitting with some concoction on my hair meant to strip the old dye for nearly an hour, and Iâm completely and utterly over it.
The only thing that could cheer me up is my best friend coming through the door, which is exactly what happens in that moment.
âSofia!â Ana grins at me, gingerly giving me a hug despite Brigitâs glare. âI canât believe Luca agreed to let me come.â
âMe either,â I admit, uncomfortably shifting in my chair. I open my mouth to say something else, but then someone else comes through the bedroom doorâa tall brunette who I can only guess must be Caterina Rossi.
Sheâs gorgeousâtall, with a slender hourglass figure, long brown wavy hair, and dark eyes in her perfectly shaped, olive-skinned face. With high cheekbones, feathery lashes that are almost definitely due to extensions, and full pouty lips, she could have been a model.
No wonder Lucaâs friend agreed to marry her, I think dryly. I canât help but wonder what she thinks of the matchâif her fiancé is as handsome as Luca, and as much of a manipulative asshole.
âHi,â she says pleasantly, holding out her hand once sheâs close enough. âIâm Caterina. Luca asked me to come and keep you company.â
No, he asked you to come keep an eye on me and make sure Iâm not plotting anything with my best friend. I force a smile onto her face, shaking her hand limply. âSofia.â
âItâs nice to meet you.â To her credit, she does look as if sheâs trying to be friendly. âIâve heard a lot about you.â
âYou have?â I blink at her. I canât imagine Luca taking time out of his day to gossip with this woman about his upcoming marriage. And then I rememberâof course. Sheâs Don Rossiâs daughter, the same man who wanted to have me killed.
âMy father mentioned you,â Caterina says, perching delicately on the edge of the tub. âAnd Franco told me that youâd agreed to marry Luca.â
I canât help but wonder how much she knows. My gaze flicks down to her left handâthereâs a diamond there that looks nearly twice
