Chapter 7 Off Limits
I woke up to the sun shining directly on my face and right then a scorching headache began as I quickly sat up clutching the sheets to examine my surroundings.
Oh, shit this wasn't my room it was Antonio's but he wasn't there and I was naked.
This had to be a joke!
There was no way I slept with an idiot on literally the second day after our marriage.
I'm so stupid how did I let that happen.
Right, when I stood up there was this pain right in between my legs which made it hard to move.
This was not how I imagined losing my virginity. It was no different than a one-night stand with a womanizer. He didn't even have the decency to say something. He just left. But you know what I'm the stupid one who fell for his charm after the second day. I had to admit he was hot and the eight pack did not make it easy to resist.
I quickly went to the shower and let the steamy hot water just pour onto my body. I began to scrub my skin and I didn't even realize I was scrubbing hard until I removed the scrub to reveal an itchy rash on my shoulders.
Maybe I thought the nightmare would just fade away.
He probably was going about his day not even acknowledging the night we spent together.
Ahhhh why the fuck was I acting like a crazy-ass clingy bitch with no pride?
I was better than this. No, I am better than this.
A ringing of the doorbell brought me out of my train of thoughts so I quickly hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body.
I walked to the door thinking it was Antonio but when I swung it open Luca was in the doorway.
"Hello, Gorg-"I was guessing the words were trapped in his throat as he checked me out from top to bottom. I rolled my eyes they both are the same. Selfish and arrogant. It ran in their damn blood.
At the moment the last thing on my mind was the only thing covering my body. All I cared about was chewing him out and spitting him in the open field. "May I help you?"
A smirk formed on his face," I was going to ask if you won't mind accompanying me to di-"He barely asked before he was interrupted by a blood-boiling Antonio.
"No, she won't accompany you anywhere. Now go inside Venus. Aren't you ashamed to open the door like that? Actually, you know what there isn't anything that special to show off anyway. I've seen hookers who have more looks than you." My breath became heavy and my heart shattered to a billion pieces at his awful words. I was about to break out into tears but I quickly blinked them away because I refused to show him my weakness.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? She has feelings too or is it illegal to show any emotion around the almighty Antonio De Vaio?"Luca scoffed, turning his head to glare at Antonio.
"You stay the hell out of this. She belongs to me. She's mine and only mine. I don't want your unholy presence around my wife." I rolled my eyes. Every normal human being would say he was jealous but the jackass didn't want me to be around his brother because he hated him that was the only reason." Get inside Venus." He growled in a beastly tone but I stayed in my tracks.
I decided I wasn't going to allow him to control me and I had nothing to be afraid of.
I cleared my throat," What time is the dinner? "Luca's frown turned into a smile and Antonio looked close to choking him on the spot.
"The dinner is at seven; thirty but I will come to get you at seven, so that gives you a good three hours but for now I have to get back to the hospital. See you, sexy." I knew he said the last part to push Antonio's buttons and surprisingly it worked because his next move surprised me.
He pulled me into the house and then he carried me into the bedroom.
"Did I not tell you he was off-limits? Then why the hell are you going to dinner with him? "He roared, causing me to jump
I sighed and applied a smirk on my face, "You're not the boss of me. What I do is none of your concern. It's not like we're married for real." He gave a glare and I matched it.
"As long as we're married you cannot go out with him, "he said more like ordered but I wasn't backing down now. It was now or never.
"So you're telling me you can walk around with any bimbo you like and the boundary for me stops at your brother Luca." It was more like a rhetorical question but he shook his head trapping me in between his hands. His hot breath was now against my neck as mine involuntarily hitched causing my heart rate to accelerate greatly.
"You're my wife. Mine only, I don't want him near you. In fact, I don't want any man near you."
