Chapter 3.1 (1/2)

A familiar Italian voice came from behind her.

Sei jumped out of her seat at that moment. The platinum-haired man raised his eyes in her direction. His eyes hidden behind the round glasses shined brightly.

However, Sei didn’t pay any attention to the man.

“Giulio ?”

Her voice trembled when she spoke the name of the person who came suddenly.

“Long time no see.”

Smiling softly, his eyes slowly raked Sei’s whole body up and down. Deep and dark. They were the eyes of a strong successful man.

Giulio Parenti.

At first glance he might have seemed like a gentle British businessman, but he was the eldest son and head of the Parenti family, an orthodox Sicilian Mafia family.

He lowered his gaze to where she was sitting earlier. Sei’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Giulio scrutinizing the blonde man beside her.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Parenti.”

“Well, it’s been a long time since I heard that. What do you mean by ‘Mr. Parenti’?”

In his late 30s, the man’s slim, muscular body which was nearly 190 centimeters tall, could not be hidden even in a suit.

The faces of some people who recognized him turned blue. One by one, as they began to move away from him, Romano and Lorenzo standing behind Giulio came into her view. They greeted her with an expressionless face.

‘I should probably not pretend to know him!’

Sei decided to get out of here right away. She didn’t know why Giulio suddenly appeared, but today wasn’t the fated day. Giulio’s leisure steps followed behind her as she tried to flee.

As he glanced over at the blatant gazes directed at her from across the casino, he momentarily wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. The hem of her short dress rose slightly. Sei did not shy away from Giulio’s languid gaze. She touched his chest with a relaxed smile.

Looking like a very ordinary lover.

“Why are you here? You surprised me.”

“A coincidence. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on vacation.”

The hairs on her body stood up when Giulio lightly grasped her chin. No matter how scared she was, there was no way she could avoid him.

Sei leaned into him with a smile.

“That’s weird.Your name wasn’t on the passenger list.”

“Really? No way. You should have looked carefully. And, if you have made a mistake, what are you going to do about it?”

Giulio seemed quite relaxed and laid back. He took a step and escorted her over to an outdoor balcony on one side of the casino. The night was lively with the merry sounds of cocktail lovers. Her black silky hair fluttered in the night breeze.

“You can’t show up like this all of a sudden. That was my four months’ worth of living expenses.”

Giulio’s large body towered over her as she leaned against the railing. He lit a cigarette with a smile. As the long white smoke swirled and evaporated from his mouth, his hand skimmed up her white thighs.

At that moment, Sei gasped. A large, rough hand ran up her thigh, leading to the inside of the skirt. Then clutching her ample shaped derriere, he bent his upper body with a cold smile.
