Marco's POV:

"I CAN'T... because I..." I cut her off ".... Yeah, same bullshit that you love him and all. Bella... open your eyes and see his mistakes and don't bother me at midnight..." cutting the call I huffed in frustration. The blowing wind tried to calm me as well taking deep breaths I looked around at the sparkling stars, the memories of Maya in my arms flashed in my mind.

"Marco... Baby... What happened?" Amara hugged me rubbing her eyes. I couldn't explain my situation I felt rage and disgust with myself. Squeezing my eyes I calmed myself and uttered "Nothing just can't sleep" she helped me inside the bedroom and kissed me. Hot kisses changed into rough and needy kisses flooding with lust. Slipping her panties, I thrust inside her she shrieked every time I hit her spot, groaning and moans filled the room.

Releasing my frustration, I felt good including Amara who loved it as well. "I love you Marco..." she whispered in my ears. "I love you too" I kissed her forehead and wrapped her around my chest and drowned in my sleep exhausted.

[A/N: As they say- never believe a guy who's just had an orgasm, it's his dick talking.]

The next morning, I woke up late in an empty bed stretching I heard Amara singing in the bathroom. Closing my ears with the pillow I tried to save my eardrums from the torture. My phone buzzed I saw Lucas's name on the caller ID. I picked it up instantly "Yes..." he spoke from the other end "Hope you slept well. But now get your ass in the office I have something for you..." ending the call I jumped out from my bed.

Maya's POV:

After two days I got the opportunity to get the email confirming my public appearance. Bella has applied to the financial management department in my business, she called me a few weeks ago. And wanted a safe environment for her work because she doesn't want to stay at her house in Italy, so I offered her my hotels in Dubai. I asked her the reason for the sudden change in emotion but she doesn't mention anything thing else than that she needs it. Danielle mentioned that she's working hard and have good skills what else do I need.

"Anne.... hurry up a little... only take things that are necessary," I shouted down from the hall. We are going to Dubai for my meeting with the executives some of them saw me before some didn't. I have appointed a photoshoot for a business magazine, I'm fed up hiding from mafia people. Amara is using this to lower the rating of my hotels and get herself want she wants but I have different plans that she can't even imagine.

"I need the jet ready by the time I get there... am I clear? I don't care who has chosen the route at my time. I have fucking meeting scheduled if I faced any loss because of you... you will pay the amount. For your information, each deal is approx. 10 million so use the calculator and fuck yourself... Get it ready I don't give a damn...." I yelled on my phone getting inside my car.

Danielle and Lyra sat in the back seat with my mother and me in the front seat. "Do I need to give you special orders to start the car?" I shouted at the driver who was waiting for Lucifer knows what. We were all in the car and this fucker.... He trembled and started the car moving out of my house "I'm surrounded by idiots...." I murmured under my breath. "Excuse me" Danielle sounded offended.

"Excuse yourself and jump out of the moving car...." I scrolled through my phone and urged him. "Maya calm your nerve... you are stressing too much" my mother complained she was right. "I hate people's judging stares to be honest I loved being low profile all these years. But now Amara and Marco are creating problems for me..." I responded and drink some water. "Marco?" my mother repeated."Yeah, your favorite Marco is going to marry Amara DeVore... they are getting engaged in the next two weeks. And Amara wants my hotels so clearly Marco is helping her." I looked outside the car.

"Amara has become one of the board members so she surely is going to be in the board meeting... What are you going to do with her?" Danielle asked "Wanted to kill but I have other plans so just wait and watch..." getting out of the car I walked inside the jet.

After an hour, I was working straight through the journey because I have to recheck things before execution. Danielle passed me a document file "Amara DeVore, invested her money maximum in your Dubai hotel which means she knows it is your superiority. And your suspicion was accurate Marco Pertosa Enzo threatened Christian that's why he did documentation so quickly".

Checking the last contract, we were going to sign I glanced at Danielle "What do you mean by quickly?" questioning him I rested my hands on the armrest. "Nothing.... he just did everything hastily including the transaction of shares without proper consuming time for legal actions..." he waved at Layla. She walked to me with some snacks and a drink and smiled at Dani's gestures.

Knitting my brows, I thought for some time then asked Layla "The head of the Financial forum of Dubai hotel is Isabella. Am I right?" Danielle clapped his hands "Are you ever wrong?" the corners of my lips curved into a half-smile. "Then schedule a private meeting with her as well. I will love to meet my bestie" I sipped the drink and rested.

"But Ma'am you by now have six meetings scheduled and..." Lyra was cut off by Danielle "Why are you worried about her ass? She never gets tired. You relax yourself let's go somewhere in Dubai". Layla looked down at her knees shyly and nodded her head. "Then it is done we will go out on a date as we throw these people at their apartment..." he smiled and looked at me glaring. "Maya, you need you to raise my pay..." he demanded.

"Do I need to remind you that you are a 12.15% shareholder and mistakenly managing director as well?" I questioned him sarcastically and looked at my mom who was walking in my direction. I smiled at her and tap the seat next to me Danielle complained: "C'mon Maya your friend is going on a date you should help him!" he made a sad face.

"If you aren't going to marry her then don't waste your time or her time with stupid dates" that was my suggestion and my mother agreed with it I felt proud. "Yeah... Yeah sure, I'm going to marry her but we have to do the formalities. right. Normal people do these things..."

Danielle replied in a shaky voice acting to be cool, Layla's cheeks turned crimson red in embarrassment. "So that means you are ready for marriage but are you sure Layla wants to marry you?" I love busting bubbles of people and soap bubbles also. "Layla no need to feel awkward just say it if you feel it... don't worry about Maya or Danielle... Spill the beans sweetie" my mother asked her amusingly.
