Laughter echoed the mansion.

Asvaldur never in his life felt this lively since his mother died. He sat surrounded with people he would definitely call his family. He now has someone he could share his happiness with, and he was definitely sure that this amazing people would also be happy in his happiness instead of other times were everyone, even his own stepmother was jealous of him.

It was half an hour that their guests arrived, well Cheryl arrived earlier saying she wanted to help with the preparation, however she was utterly disappointed to see everything already prepared. But her mood shifted as she started talking more like gossiping with Siofra.

Siofra wore a cute yet elegant white dress, with a bit of cleavage peaking through. She blushed remembering how Asvaldur reacted seeing her, they almost wouldn't leave the room for an hour or so if not for Cheryl early arrival.

Soon after Cheryl's arrival everyone else arrived sharp on time, but what shocked both Asvaldur and Siofra was when Iaso and Alastair arrived with two cute babies. They never knew that they had kids together. Suddenly a wave of guilt washed Siofra, as she thought how she never knew about the people she considered family. However Iaso quickly told her nothing to feel bad, as it's them who kept the kids away from the world as they don't want them to expose to paparazzi.

"Hey little man, trying to steal my women from me?" Asvaldur asked Augustine, the elder twin who by some reason is completely bewitched by the young beauty and now is playing with her hair and gaining all her attention.

"This is nothing man. Having two kids to correct it, two overly possesive and overly protective kids, its hella difficult to have some quality time with my gorgeous fiance here." Asvaldur huffed and said as the youngest Bianchi was busy nuzzling Iaso's neck.

Augustine and Augustus were both smarter than their age, they could easily grasp the atmosphere change around them and what their father is complaining. They stuck their tongue out, showing their father, which Siofra found highly amusing.

"Nice house you got here, son." Alessandro said.

"Thanks dad, it's all because of Theodore he brought the best designs and of course I chose this one as it resembled what my love wanted." He said.

"Would you like to add that I was threatened to get the best designs. Oh and he also made me book this mansion, with a time of less than a day, which was freaking impossible." Theodore responded.

"Less than a day? Why would you do that? Why were you in such a haste to buy this mansion?" Alastair asked, calmly sipping his drink.

"I think it's time for dinner. I have an announcement to make." Asvaldur said while Iaso had a known smirk on her face.

They sat in the dining area, serving dinner to everyone. Siofra silently watched as Asvaldur's muscle flexed while serving dinner. She couldn't help but lick her lips in desire, which thankfully was gone unnoticed by everyone except her hawk like fiance, who secretly mouthed her to be ready for tonight.

"This is so delicious, what a break from Alastair's Italian dishes." Iaso said moaning in delight.

"Are you complaining about my cooking skills, bambina?" Alastair said in his thick Italian accent which definitely had a effect on Iaso as she shifted in her seat uncomfortably.

"Of course not, love. I love for cooking." Iaso said kissing him on his lips.

"But seriously Siofra, the food is delicious. You need to give me the recipe." Cheryl said.

"Actually it's Asvaldur who made the food. He didn't want me to overexhaust myself." Siofra said blushing hard.

"What a caring boyfriend, you got." Cheryl said teasing her.

"Actually about that, we have an announcement to make. Siofra is no longer my girlfriend--" Asvaldur said rubbing the nape of his neck.

"What! Don't tell me you broke up with her." Cheryl said.

"Son, I thought I warned you that if you break my little angel's heart I will break you." Alessandro said being almost too calm, calmly dangerous.

"What the fuck, man! Why would you do something like that, I told you she is a keeper then why would you break her up. Don't worry Alessandro I will come with you too, to beat this asshole up." Alastair said running his hands through his hairs.

"Yes me too. Boss or not no one hurts a little angel like Siofra. I will come with you too, but just make sure to give me job in your company incase he kicks me out." Theodore said shoving a mouthful of spaghetti.

Within a few minutes the whole dinner was mess, the only people who were calm about the situation were Siofra, Asvaldur and Iaso, who were trying their best to calm everyone down.

"SILENCE." Iaso's loud voice boomed the room, making everyone quite.

"Please calm down and allow Asvaldur to complete the sentence. I promise it's not that bad. And you Mr. Bianchi you will definitely be sleeping on the couch today, you cursed in front of my innocent kids not only once but twice!" Iaso said glaring at her fiance who couldn't help but gulp, noone but he knew what it's like to be with an angry Iaso.

"So as I was saying, Siofra is no longer my girlfriend but my fiance." Asvaldur said raising Siofra's left hand and showing off the beautiful ring settled on her ring finger.

Once the mansion were laughter and quarrels echoed just a few minutes ago is now completely silent. Everyone absorbing the news they were just given.

"Fusk."

"Awshole."

The Bianchi twins shouted, breaking the silence and tension in the room while giving their father their toothless wicked grins. It was then everyone knew Alastair is definitely sleeping in living room today.

It was Theodore who broke the silence by laughing so hard that he almost fell from his chair.

"What a eventful evening indeed."

As soon as everyone were out of their glaze, congratulations filled the room, with some hugs and tears flowing down.

With a promise of having a dinner again, they soon bid everyone farewell. While Siofra's heart was beating in a rocket's speed by the thought of tonight. She promised Asvaldur to give a great night and she will make sure to give him the most spellbound tantalizing night.

°》§《°

Asvaldur came fresh out of shower. His heart drummed a million beats per minute as he found their bedroom empty.

However he never told this to Siofra but not being near her, still gives him the same pain as he experienced when she was there in his arms unconscious.

He searched the whole house, but didn't find her anywhere. However the dull light from the outdoor zacooni. He followed the light to see Siofra there. He swore she will be the reason for him getting Grey hairs early.

While he was dreading here she was with nothing but moonlight as her lingerie, looking like a teasing Goddess as ever.

It indeed was a long night, with the water from the hot tub splashing everywhere.

They ended sleeping in each others embrace after Asvaldur cleaned her up, as always.

Everything was too peaceful, Siofra just wanted it to be that way, with only her, Asvaldur and their love.

Only if she knew.
