Danilo P.O.V.

I wake up with a shock. Oh no... How could I be so stupid? I left her alone. Why did I leave her, without telling her? Luckily, Stefano brought her home.

Hopefully, he wasn't too exaggerated. I know he's a real charmer sometimes, but if you get to know him well he's just a nice guy.

But now? What am I supposed to say now? Stefano told me yesterday, his father, The Godfather, needed me. As always if that's the case, I go there immediately, but in hindsight, Stefano didn't come? That's strange. But yeah. He is also informed in other ways.

How am I going to explain this to her? I can't tell her yet, that my family is the Maffia. How am I supposed to get out of this? She must have been very sad or very angry or both.

I look after the ceiling in my room. It would be around 11 o'clock because the sun shines brightly into my room.

What is the best thing to do? Walking and thinking, I guessed.

I get up and walked out of my room. When I walked out the door the sun shined above me.

At that moment, a car passed my house and I know that its Stefano and walked to his house.

"Buongiorno," Stefano said and waved to me when he gets out of his car.

"Ciao, Stefano. I need to talk to you," I asked a little doubtfully.

"Oh... of course. Shall we sit in the garden or do you want to go somewhere?" Stefano questioned.

I shook my head.

"Garden is fine," I replied.

Stefano nodded and we walked towards the garden and go sit down on a bench.

The garden from Stefano's and my garden are made between our houses. Two gardens are in one. So basically its both our garden. We have a large swimming pool next to the garden.

I sit down and Stefano did too.

"What is it?" Stefano wondered a little concerned.

"Well, first of all, I wanted to thank you for bringing Anria home. I feel so stupid. I should have informed her but somehow my head was somewhere else."

"That's okay. Luckily, I was there and we were able to arrange it," Stefano chuckled and gave me a small punch on my shoulder.

"But I see you're worried about something else and I think I know what is it," Stefano explained with a serious face.

My face looked sad, but I'll wait for what he is going to say. My shoulders are leaning forward and I say nothing.

"Well, how are you going to fix this. How are you going to tell Anria you're sorry. Easy. You call her up and say you're sorry. "

"That's easier to say than done," I murmured.

"No, girls liked it when a boy admits he did something wrong. It sometimes makes us weaker but the girls love it and feel like they are the queens, Stefano laughed.

I started to smile. Sometimes I hoped that I would feel stronger than I am right now.

I sit up straight. Because I made a stupid mistake, I can not make myself smaller than I am. That is my biggest mistake what you can do. Stefano knows that too.

"Don't be influenced by this stupid mistake. You can be a man! Show to the world, you are a man who admits what he did and arranged something nice," Stefano commanded seriously.

"Yes, you're right." And suddenly I have an idea to make it up to Anria.

"I'm going to call her now and then we'll have to go to town," I said quickly and picked up my phone.

"I'll wait in the car," Stefano answered and walked away.

After the first ringtone I hoped she answered but after the 5th ringtone, I heard her voicemail.

I shook off the thoughts that she is upset and she wouldn't answer my phone call and put my phone in my pocket and walked to Stefano's car.

"She didn't answer. I'll call her tonight," I told Stefano before he asked about.

We drove towards the city with squeaky tires.

Anria P.O.V.

Dozens of eyes looked at me when I enter the hotel. Ignore, ignore, I tell myself and walked towards the elevator.

When I passed the Secret Service agents, I see them whispering something through their earpieces and I wanted to run to my room.

I pressed on the button before the elevator and waited when the doors opened.

A Secret service agent is going to stand next to me without saying anything.

When the doors opened I walked into the elevator and quickly pressed the button to close the doors. The Secret service agent walked into the elevator and waited in the corner of the cabin. A cold silence is between us. The only noise in the elevator is the cables that pull us up.

I started to sweat. The stairs would have to be a better idea. Then I wouldn't have had this. Perhaps my father waited upstairs in the hallway or my mother.

I keep my hands together and looked to the left where the Secret Service agent is. The man looked at the same time I looked at him away. This made me nervous.

The doors opened and I ran outside, followed by the Secret Service agent. Simon and Theon are in the hallway. They said nothing when they saw me and I dive into my room and locked the door and turned around.

Fortunately, no one is in my room. I have to avoid my parents today. I can't see them now and watch what they're going to say to me. It is all going to end very badly.

What should I do now to avoid my parents? There is only one thing I can think about shopping.

I connected my phone to a charger and waited patiently when it's a few per cent and call Edin.

"Hey, would you like to go shopping," I whispered to Edin.

"Yeah, nice. Do I see you down the hall?" Edin questioned happily.

"Yes, see you later," I whispered back and hang up.

I grabbed my extra charger and connect my phone and grabbed my wig, dark glasses, bag and some other stuff.

I gave the mirror one last look. My hair is tousled and my makeup dripped over my face.

How could Stefano and other people have seen me like this? My head turned red. I fixed my hair and take off my makeup.

Now I am ready to go.

I still have the same clothes on as yesterday but that doesn't matter to me now. I have to get out of here as soon as possible before my parents noticed me. I unlocked the door and walked down the stairs, followed by Simon and Theon.

When I came across a sign, Ground floor, I opened the door and see Edin, Sara and Lia in the distance. I walked over there and before they said anything I whispered, "Come on, we have to go to town now." They nodded and walked with me to the exit of the hotel.

Before I stepped one foot off the hotel I heard a voice scream.

"Anria! Oh... sweetheart," my worried mother's voice yelled, but I ignored it and walked out of the hotel.

There are waiting two black cars outside but I walked around them with my friends

"I know how to get to town fast," Edin whispered and we followed him and see that we walked to a subway.

Before we walked down I quickly put on my wig and Edin helped me with it. When we walked into a cabin I see that Simon and Theon stepped too into a cabin.

"Did you do something stupid again?" Edin asked as we sit down. I nodded and looked down.

"Well, then we'll go shopping to forget that," Edin smiled and I looked at Lia and Sara. They both gave me a wink.

"The best part is that we got to know the city because we were there yesterday. We can almost give you a tour," Sara explained amusedly.

"I know a good shop where you can buy very nice bags," Lia screamed softly and smiled at me.

"Thank you guys," I responded happily and hugged them.

When we entered the city, countless people walked through the city. I kept my head down and put my glasses on.

Before I forget, I turned off my phone so they can't track me, or at least they would have done it, I guessed.

"This store has such nice dresses," Sara yelled happily and we walked into the store. It is colder in the store than outside because they have air conditioning.

We are the only customers and the clothing employees smiled at us when we entered the store.

"Can I help you?" one of the saleswomen asked in English.

"No, thank you. We'll be fine," Edin replied, and the saleswoman walked away.

"There are countless racks with all kinds of dresses. They are organized in brand and colour.

"You have to try this on," Lia screamed when she had a light blue denim dress in her hands.

"This one too," Sara shouted with army green, striped dress.

Ten minutes later I walked into the fitting room with 8 dresses in my hand.

It's great to go shopping when you have to worry about what will happen if we go back to the hotel, but shopping let me forget it.

When I tried them all, I liked the green dress with white striped and the white dress with blue flowers on it. I paid with my credit card and we leave the store.

"Come on, let's go to the bag store and shoe store," Lia cheered.

I turned my eyes. We walked through the shopping street where people criss-cross each other.

I realize when I walked with my friends through the street I don't get recognized. Nobody looked at me. I feel a sense of freedom inside me.

"Ugg ugg," Lia coughed next to me and looked a little scared. I looked back and see Simon about 20 meters behind us. He looked at the other way when I looked at him. I shook my head.

"Forget it. They can't take me back to the hotel anyway. We just have to go into a lot of shops," I winked at Lia, and her face relaxes a little.

As I said, we went into a lot of shops. Finally, at the last store of the shopping street, we walked out of the store and Simon and Theon waited for us in the distance.

With five bags in my hands and Lia, Sara and Edin around me, we walked towards a bench and sit down.

Pooh, what a wonderful city for shopping," Edin explained exhaustingly.

In the corner of my eye, I see Simon and Theon talked to each other and I turned back to my friends.

"Do you know a place to go?" I queried.

Sara, Lia and Edin all looked to another direction with a thinking look on their face.

"I know a nice place to go, where we can eat. It is late afternoon anyway and we can have a nice dinner," Lia replied and looked a little doubted at my bodyguards.

"Forget my bodyguards. I think it's a very good idea, Lia," I answered enthusiastically.

"I'll be ahead and you'll follow me. It's not far from here," Lia whispered, and we get up of the bench and followed Lia.

Behind me, I hear heavy shoes and I knew that my bodyguards walked behind me. I wished I could lose them. We walked through a small alley where children played.

An Italian boy looked at me with wide-eyes when I passed him and I started to walk faster. I get a smile on my face when I think of the woman and her daughter, who kind of recognized me when I was at the Colosseum.

We walked through the alley and heard the music play at the end of the alley.

"We're almost there," Lia whispered to us.

When we exit the alley we arrived at a large square with all kinds of restaurants. Music is played and people laughed with each other. Children play with bubbles in the middle of the square.

"It is nice here," I blurted enthusiastically.

"Which restaurant shall we choose?" I asked.

"Whatever you want. I'm fine with everything," responded Sara, and Lia nodded.

I looked at Edin.

"Somewhere where they have good food," he laughed and we all started to

laugh.

I looked around and see a lot of people at a few restaurants and less.

"Maybe it's a good idea to pick one where aren't too many people.," I suggested.

They all nodded.

I started to walk across the square and walked to one of the restaurants where arent sitting a lot of people. Sara, Lia and Edin followed me. I paused for the menu.

"Edin. As you wish, there are several delicious meals here," I assured, and Edin smiled.

"Are you kidding me. They have a lot of meals I see. I'm sold. We're going to eat here," he cheered happily and I looked to a place where we can sit.

We sit down behind a couple with a baby. A female waiter arrived at our table.

"Buona serata," she welcomed us.

"English please," Edin explained and the waiter immediately switched to English.

We ordered something to drink and eat and the waiter walked away.

"Good idea, Lia," I winked at her.

"You're welcome."

I looked around and see Theon and Simon sitting on a bench on the other side of the square. When Theon saw me look at him he gave me a small nod and I turned my eyes to the table again.

"We will have to show our clothes to each other when we get back to the hotel," Edin asked beamily and looked at all our bags.

"Yes. We certainly will," I responded.

The waiter came to our table again and brought up three plates of food and drinks.

I looked with a hungry face at my plate of lasagna and we started to eat.

After dinner, we ordered another dessert. Not later we get a large cup with different colours of ice cream and chocolate sauce on it.

"This... this is great," I mumbled and we ate our dessert.

When I'm done with the dessert I grabbed my phone and put it back on. There's no reason why I shut off my phone because my bodyguards followed me. They could track me but if your bodyguards followed you its unnecessary.

When my screen is on I get a notification and I jumped up.

Danilo called me.

"Sorry guys, I have to text someone. I'll be right back," I told to my friends and walked away from the restaurant. I walked to a bench that is close to the restaurant and started to type to Danilo.

I dare not speak to him. Not about what happened yesterday.

Dear Danilo. I typed and stopped. What should I type to him? He was gone yesterday. I looked at messager and saw that he's online.

Suddenly my phone started to shake and I see Danilo is calling me. I hesitated for a few seconds and took a deep breath and exhaled and pressed on the green button.

"Hello," I said doubtfully.

"Oh... I'm happy you're picked up your phone," Danilo answered relieved.

"I'm so sorry. I had to go to my family because something had happened. I'm sorry. I have been really stupid." Danilo apologized with a sad voice.

I get a lump in my throat. His family?

"Is your family all right?" I questioned.

"Yes. I'll explain everything later but I am very sorry Anria," Danilo repeated through the phone.

His sad voice breaks me.

"I ... I ... I forgive you," I murmured honestly.

It is quiet for a moment on the other side of the line.

"Thank you," Danilo mumbled back.

There is a second silence and to break the long silence, Danilo said, I want to make it up to you, I have got a surprise for you tomorrow night. Do you have time at 5 tomorrow?" his voice is a little bit shaking when he said that.

"I haven't planted anything for tomorrow. Yes, I have time," I replied with a curious voice.

"I think you'll like it," Danilo responded enthusiastically.

Shall I pick you up at your hotel?" he requested hesitantly.

"Yes. That's fine. I'll send you my address.

"Great. Non posso aspettare," Danilo answered back.

"Hugh?"

"I can't wait," Danilo explained in English. A smile appeared on my face.

"Non posso aspettare for you," I replied and closed my phone.

I feel a warm feeling inside and all the dubitable feeling about Danilo had disappeared.

I walked back to my friends.

"Who was that?" Sara quizzed.

"I'll have a date tomorrow," I whispered and smiled.

My friends started to giggle.

"You had bought the perfect clothes," Lia laughed.

We paid for the food and walked across the square.

"Shall we take the car or the subway," Edin whined like a little child.

I turned my eyes. The feeling that I see my parents soon and get a lot of trouble is almost gone because the biggest feeling in my body is the love for Danilo.

"Yes, fine," I acknowledged and Edin smiled at me.

We walked to Theon and Simon.

"I'd like to go back to the hotel," I asked and Theon started to talk to his earpiece.

"The car is one street ahead, Simon explained, and we followed my bodyguards.

At the end of the street, I see a black car and we walked towards it.

We sat in the car and the car droves away.

"It was an amazing day today," Lia said happily.

"I agreed," and hugged Lia in the car.

"I will run to my room when we arrived at the hotel. You'll come to my room via the elevator. We can show the clothes to each other than," I whispered to my friends and they nodded.

We arrived at the hotel and we entered the hotel. I walked with my friends to the entrance. Quickly, I looked around me and see a sign with a staircase on it and walked to it.

Lia, Sara and Edin walked towards the elevator.

They walked someone behind me and I know it's one of my bodyguards. I opened a door and walked upstairs to my floor and opened the door again. A relieved feeling I fell inside because there's no one in the hallway. As fast I can I ran to my room and opened the door and locked it.

Fortunately, there is no one in my room. I put down my bags and took off my sunglasses and wig and hear a knock on my door. I quickly ran to the door and opened it with a big smile to my mouth.

When I opened the door but my friend's aren't standing there It's my mother.

I would close the door but I freeze, I can only look to my mother's angry face. Her eyes are pinched together.

"Don't you dare to close the door now," my mother voice said sternly.

I can't move and wait for what she is going to say.

"You have disappointed us deeply. I am not going to say anything about it now but you will not see your boyfriend anymore! Tomorrow you will go to the Vatican!" she commanded and walked away.

My face turned white. I can't see Danilo again. Tomorrow he has a surprise for me. How should I fix this?

I closed the door and sit on my bed. I knew my parents would say something about Danilo that I can't see him. Somehow I hoped I can secretly see Danilo. But tomorrow I must go to the Vatican. People, bodyguards people... I can't get away from that. I can't run away secretly.

Panic... panic... panic... This is so bad.

Suddenly I get an idea. Maybe he knows how to sneak out. After all, he knows about my identity.

I grabbed my phone and started to message Stefano. When I sent it I wait patiently.

5 minutes later my phone started to shake.

I know the perfect plan. Stefano types back.

My body started to relax and I feel a sense of hope all over my body.

I would and will see Danilo tomorrow.
