A week went by and Evelyn has seen nothing but calmness and soothing sensation that ca from this relationship.
She was in the car with the don whom she had been calling by the na for the past week. He was on his way to drop her at the University.
Evelyn found it to be slightly unusual until she realised that he had to go all the way back to the house because his office was in a completely different direction to where University was. Which is why she had proposed leaving early.
She felt his hand on top of her eyes and then she entangled their fingers while passing a smile to him.
"Penny for your thoughts?’ He asked and Evelyn gave him a grin.
"Give a full Euro."
He chuckled. "Take it all, if you want."
Her heart warned when she heard that. That was all she felt with this man. Whenever he was near her heart did start to beat very fast but it also brought her a feeling of comfort. It brought her security.
"I was just thinking about the university." She answered a question previously. "Nothing much concerning."
He gave her a nod and his phone ring, making Salvatore give her an apologetic look and turned to his phone.
Receiving the call, he spoke in rapid Italian letting the person on the other side know that he was not happy with the intrusion. Especially since today had not begun.
The university gates appeared and the car stopped at the entrance making Evelyn look at Salvatore who was still not done talking.
She patted his thigh and waved her hand as a goodbye to him.
When Salvatore glanced at her he looked at her hand before grabbing her jaw and pulling her close. Evelyn felt his lips on her cheek making her eyes widen.
She gasped slowly, turned to look at him who shot her a wink and then waved his own hand as he continued to talk.
With a gulp, Evelyn opened the door and worked out. Just as she stepped into the hallway of the university the cars finally left making her give a sigh of relief.
As she walked into the building and to wear a room Evelyn lightly touched her cheek before he had kissed.
"You’re blushing," with the sudden comnt Marcelo appeared beside her. With a twinkle in his eyes he narrowed them on her and said, "sothing happened in the car?"
"No!" She blurted out quickly but then Marcleo laughed Evelyn grimaced and looked away.
"Co on," his hands from over her shoulder, "let’s go."
*****
Evelyn was done with the day already yet she had two classes to go. Sohow her mind only focused on the fact that she could actually go ho since these two classes had repetition of topics going on that she had already done. So revision would be sufficient.
Even though Salvatore was the one who was dropping her to the university, Julian was still outside in case she had to co and go before ti.
Evelyn found her in the sowhat reserved spot. Julian always parked his car in that spot.
"Aye, Bianchi!"
Evelyn stopped and a groan ca out of her. She recognised this voice very well. After all, it belongs to her cousin and her uncle’s son.
She turned her eyes to Luigi. Soone who was only six months younger to her but appeared to be more arrogant and ruthless than her father.
Sohow he had forgotten that size that not matter as much as age. He was not going to be as respected as the elder Don’s were, that was if he ever ca to beco one.
A sneer ca to his face already as he neared Evelyn. "How are you? Are Alessandro’s treating you right?"
Evelyn’s eyebrows shot up for a quick second but she controlled it. Did he just ask her how she was doing?
"I am fine, Luigi." She answered as politely as she could to the estranged cousin. "How are you?"
Luigi instead of answering gave her a smile. "Good." He said as he stepped closer to Evelyn. "But I need to see for myself that you are doing good."
Her forehead creased in worry as she did not understand what he ant. "What do you an?"
Luigi shook his head very slowly as he leaned in and whispered right next to the ear. "My father thinks it’s very unfair that you have shifted into the house of soone else and you have not yet bothered to invite us."
"How in the developing world are we to make sure that our little Evelyn is doing Okay?"
Holy shit. Evelyn let a sarcastic chuckle slip out of her.
"Do you seriously expect to invite you into the house of the Alessandro family?" Evelyn practically spat the words out. "What makes you say that I can even do that?"
Luigi who had previously stepped away, stepped into her space making Evelyn take a conscious step back.
"How about you mind that cos first?" The glare he gave her was enough for everyone to understand what he ant. "Second, the entire world knows that you’re living with the Don and how you are managing to cosy up to him."
She was not ashad of dating Don Salvatore but the way he said it made Evelyn’s face burn in sha.
"How about that Evelyn?" Luigi chuckled and the sound made disgust crawl up her skin. "How about you used that little cozying up to your families advantage? You have been enjoying the profits in your bank account. You must have made it to millions by now."
He gave her another chuckle. "How about we give sothing back to the family that has loved you through everything?"
"Loved through everything?!" Evelyn furiously whispered. The sudden surge of anger inside her body was sothing that she was unable to control. Have they ever even loved her to love her through anything?!
"Your parents never once showed up to my house for my mother’s passing. They only ca to the funeral for one day and to pay my respects to my father!" Evelyn rembered that day as clearly as if it were today. Only the wives of her father’s associates were kind enough to hug Evelyn and keep in touch.
"Really?" Luigi chuckled. "How funny, I don’t rember anything like that.’
