Hi everyone. Here is a glimpse into Draco's character.

Draco

"Brother where are you?"
"I am on my way. I was just taking care of some business."
"Hmmm could this business of yours be Belle by any chance?" He teased knowing his sibling very well.
"Have you secured a job interview yet?" Dante said changing the subject.
"Yes everything is in motion."
"I will be there later this evening, I just left her at Rosewood."
"Good," he said ending the call.

Walking down the street he witnessed a young woman being thrown out of a restaurant as she begged for her job. Never one to intervene in such scenarios but the sight before him tugged at his heart. But he couldn't stop to help her, he had to get to his interview at Blake Industries. They were looking for an executive manager and he knew he would get the job.

Walking into the building he was impressed with the structure, open glasses allowed one to see the busy streets outside, black marble floor shined to perfection such that one could see themselves. He had on a blue Armani suit paired with black formal shoes, a white shirt paired with a blue tie.

"Hi, I am here for the managing director position," he said with a charming smile as the receptionist looked at him eyes running down his form clearly in appreciation.
"You may go up to the twentieth floor," she said with a smile.
"Thank you," he said turning on his heels and heading for the elevator.
He had this interview in the bag and surely enough he got the job and would be starting next week, that was because he had told them he needed to secure his accommodation.

Heading to the airport later that evening to fetch his brother he passed by the park and spotted a familiar figure lying on a bench.
Pulling to a halt he got out of his car and walked up to the figure realizing it was the lady from earlier.
"Excuse me miss," he said gently as she startled awake creating some distance between them before he felt the sting of pepper spray in his eyes.
Rubbing his eyes vigorously he cried out for her to stop.
"Miss stop. I saw you get kicked out of that restaurant earlier. I just wanted to help," he said as he saw her blurry figure a few meters away from him as he sank down onto the bench.

Looking over the man she realized he was not a robber.
He felt a hand on his shoulder as he looked up at her with teary eyes.
"I'm sorry," she said nervously.
"Gosh, you are so beautiful," he thought out loud seeing her cheeks heat up. "Please tell me I didn't say that out loud," he said making her chuckle as he blinked several times.
"Yes you did, and thank you," she said as she got ahold of his arm trying to pull him up but failing as he laughed at her efforts.

"Where is your car?" She said as he pointed at a black Bentley parked close by.
"I can't drive and I have to go get my brother," he said still blinking to clear his vision.
She pushed him into the car fastening his seat belt and sliding behind the drivers seat. Driving to the airport he instructed her to use the private entrance that led to the jets' parking bay as they stopped in front of a black jumbo jet.
He could easily hear gasp as she looked at the giant plane.
"You have a twin brother?" She mumbled as I saw a figure move towards the car.
Opening the back door he slid in having spotted his brother sitting up front.

"Brother what happened to your eyes," Dante asked worriedly seeing them slightly swollen and red.
"Just a pretty little lady protecting herself from a poor old bloke like me," he chuckled.
"I would like you to meet a friend of mine. Friend meet my brother Dante."
"Nice to meet you...."
"Angela," she said with an apologetic smile.
"Nice to meet you Angela. I must say you are the first woman to make my brother cry," he said seeing Draco wipe away stray tears making her laugh.

Dante smiled seeing the way his brother was looking at the lady as she drove them to his apartment. Her caramel skin was flawless as her hair fraught for freedom under her hair band. Anyone could see she was of mixed race, her grey eyes revealed it all.
"Angela," he heard Draco sigh as he closed his eyes making him chuckle.
"So how did you two meet?"
"She sprayed mace on me," Draco mumbled. "I was trying to help her," he said as she blushed in embarrassment.
"Sorry about that," she said looking at him for a second.
"It's okay, it will be a great story some day," he mumbled.
"Wait so you don't know each other just trusted her to drive your car?" He received no reply for a moment before Draco said.
"I trust her."

Helping him out of the car they walked into the building going straight to the penthouse.
"You can use my room, the others still need to be furnished. Brother yours is this room," Draco said showing them to their rooms.
"But what about you?"
"Don't worry about me. You are my guest," he said brushing her off.
Opening a drawer he took out a large shirt for her and showed her to the bathroom informing her were she could find anything she needed.

"Goodnight Angela," he said with a smile now able to see her clearly.
"Goodnight Draco," she said with a small smile already under the covers. "Please leave the light on," she said as he nodded his head okay.
Laying on his living room sofa he smiled thinking of Angela as she lay asleep in his bed. She couldn't stay here though, not with what they were about to start. He turned off the lights and fell into a peaceful slumber.

------

He woke up to someone shaking him awake only to find it was Angela.
"I couldn't sleep," she whispered as he stood up.
"Come on, I'll keep an eye on you until you fall asleep," he yawned.
Leading her back to the room he sat on the floor beside the bed, before long they started sharing stories of their childhood as she revealed she only had her father now, after her mother died of cancer. He shared the crazy stories of how he and his brother used to trick their teachers over who was who.

"So tell me why were you fired," he said after a few minutes of silence.
"I was a chef in that restaurant. The owner refused to give me my money for the last two months and to top it off, I just got kicked out of my apartment," she said answering his next question.
"What's the name of the restaurant again?"
"Polpetto," she responded.
"Meatball? Odd name for a restaurant," he murmured.
"Wait you know Italian?"

"Hmmm, and a few other languages. My mother insisted upon it," he said with a smile. "It was either languages or music and my brother and I had no love for performing, well except for our magic trick phase," he said making her laugh.
"Thank you for giving me a place to lay my head for the night," she said changing the subject.
"You are most welcome. In fact stay as long as you want. You are the only person I know in this town besides my brother.
"Wait you aren't from around here?"
"We are from Lakeview city," he said with a smile.
"I have never been there. I hear it's a great place full of opportunities."
"I might just take you with me next time I go there," he said softly. "So who is the lucky man in your life?"
"Umm I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I just broke up with my boyfriend a few days ago."
"Life is really throwing you curveballs. One fall after another huh. I hope my friendship will be somewhat of a relief, that's only if you want to be my friend," he said with a cheeky grin turning to look into her eyes.
"Hmm I will have to think about that," she said trying to stifle her laughter at his perplexed expression.
"Goodnight Angela," he said softly as he watched her drift off to sleep before leaving her in peace.

"Oh my gosh, what smells divine?" Angela said walking into the kitchen after freshening up.
"Good morning bella," Draco said flipping some pancakes onto a plate before pouring syrup over them whilst Dante focused on the bacon and eggs mouthing his good morning with a smile.
"Good morning Draco, Dante ," she replied.
"So what do you guys do for a living?" She asked as they joined her for breakfast.
"I just got a job at Blake industries and my brother here is a banker," Draco answered instantly flashing her a charming smile.
"That's awesome. Wait shouldn't you be getting ready for work and all?"
"I start on Monday and he is here to keep me company. But since you are here I don't see any need for him," he said facing his brother who had a scowl on his face.
Sensing something was wrong after those words, she chose to keep quiet eating her food until her plate was wiped clean.
"Wow, you were really hungry weren't you?" Draco said seeing her blush as Dante stood placing his dishes away before leaving the room. "Excuse my brother he is just tired, hence he will be a bit grumpy," he whispered the last part loving the giggle that erupted from her. "Would you care for some more?" He asked as she nodded her head yes.

Finishing off his food he just watched her eat her food until she looked up to find him staring at her.
"You do know you look creepy staring at me like that," she said placing her utensils down.
"Sorry, I'm just fascinated with how a woman can eat so much," he said eyeing her plate which was almost clean.
"To answer your question, a very hungry woman," she said getting up to wash her plate.
"Don't bother yourself, I will take care of our dishes. You can go and relax, get started on job hunting like you said yesterday.
"You remember that, I thought you weren't listening.
"I listened to everything, even when you started mumbling about cake in your sleep," he chuckled at her appalled expression.

Leaving her in the living room he went I search of his brother.

------

"She is now staying here?" Dante growled at his big brother.
"Yes and that's final."
"Please tell me you have not fallen for this woman. Do you even know who she really is? What if she knows who you really are and just wants your money," Dante said in a hushed tone.
"I had her background checked already whilst you were asleep. She is legit. You should have seen the way that restaurant treated her. Like she was just a piece of gum you really want off your shoe," he said angrily. "Why don't you go back to Lakeview for a couple of days. I will keep you up to date about Blake."
"Have you spoken with mom?" Dante said changing the subject.
"Not yet, I will make a conference call."
"Very well I am heading to Europe to see how our branches are doing," he said walking into his closet.
"You handle that side I will handle that old fool," he said as a smile formed on his brothers features.

-----

"Cara mia, let us go exploring, you are my tour guide after all."
They stepped out of the building only to be welcomed by the heat wave thus slipping on shades to protect their eyes from the sun and slowly making their way down the street.
"Shall we get you some clothing?" He asked looking down at her.
"Sure, I need to get one or two things," she said with a nervousness smile only for someone to run into her.
"I'm sorry ma'am," the man apologized before continuing with his journey resulting in Draco taking her hand and pulling her to his side as they entered a boutique. She slowly released his hand walking over to the summer dresses. Draco let her explore as he went to the look at other things. Going shopping with their mother seemed to have paid off as he asked a sales lady for dresses and jeans in her size without her even knowing it, he also asked her for maternity clothes.

"Excuse me miss, I don't mean to be rude. But are you shopping here?" Another saleslady asked her.
"Umm yes, yes I am," Angela said.
"Looking at her simple attire she then realized why the young woman was asking her considering the outrageous price of the dress she smiled at the woman sweetly her eyes searching for Draco.

"Cara Mia, have you found anything you like?" He said surprising her with a kiss on her check as he pulled her back into his chest. She couldn't help blush as he held her gently in his arms as he looked at the saleslady.
"You see my wife is rather very picky when it comes to her clothing. Take this for example he said pointing out her outfit," she just didn't feel like dressing up he chuckled.
"I'm sorry sir, the saleslady blushed before saying. Why don't you try the shop next door, I think the price range will be more suitable."
"Oh don't worry dear I already got what I wanted," he said as the manager walked over to them handing him back his black card.
"Shall we get dressed for lunch tesoro," he said placing his hand on the small of her back leading her towards the changing rooms
"Thank you," he said to the manager who was beaming at them as the other saleslady looked embarrassed.

Handing her a blue dress and sandals he left her to change as he went to do the same putting on a dark blue shirt paired with white jeans. Leaving the store a car was waiting for them already.
"Caine, I'm glad you finally made it."
"Sorry for the delay sir," the man said.
"This is my friend Angela, she will be staying with me for the time being. Anything she wants make sure she gets it," he said as he ushered her into the car before stopping to tell the man something.
Enjoying the cool interior of the car she sighed as he looked at her with a smile a few minutes later they pulled up in front of Polpetto.
