The stylish pant legs flare around my legs, and I match them with a cashmere sweater that fits like a second skin.
After getting dressed, I slip my feet into a pair of cream heels before searching through the bags for my makeup supplies. A smile stretches over my face when I also manage to find my hair and skin care products.
I let out a sigh of relief when I see none of the products were damaged when the guards packed them.
Thank God for small mercies.
Heading to the bathroom, I brush my hair and teeth before going through my skincare routine.
Feeling much better, I take a seat at the dressing table and carefully apply my makeup.
Once I’m happy with the final result, I straighten the covers on my bed and search for my phone charger. Just as I plug the device in, there’s another knock at the door.
I quickly open, and when I see Carlo, I feel relieved that I don’t have to wait any longer.
Smiling politely, I say, “Morning.”
He just nods at me then gestures down the hallway. “It’s time for breakfast.”
I step out of the bedroom and shut the door.
We start to walk, and I shoot him a cautious glance. “Can I ask questions?”
“Yes.”
“How long will I stay here?”
“Until Damiano decides otherwise,” he mutters.
Feeling brave, I ask, “Do you know what he plans to do with me?”
“You’ll find out soon.”
Not liking the answer, I frown at Carlo.
“Can I use the Wifi?”
“I’ll get you the password.”
Gazie a Dio.
“Am I allowed to leave my bedroom?”
“Yes.” We stop at the top of the stairs, and Carlo locks eyes with me. “Stay away from Damiano’s suite and office. You’re not allowed to leave the property without permission.”
I nod quickly. “Okay.”
We head down the stairs, then Carlo mentions, “There is an elevator if you get tired of the stairs.”
I nod, and sucking in a deep breath, I ask, “Am I allowed to help myself to food?”
“Yes. I’ll show you where the kitchen is.”
When we reach the first floor, Carlo says, “You’ll meet Damiano’s mother and mine. Mrs. Falco is blind. You’re not to mention anything about her disability.”
“Okay.”
We walk into a state-of-the-art kitchen, and Carlo takes a few minutes to show me where everything is. I actually start to relax around the man.
