Marco let out a sigh and dragged a hand across his face. “Now you're mad, but | didn’t say anything wrong.”

| gaped at him while my mind reeked in disbelief. “Are you being serious right now? You didn’t say anything

wrong?”

He sighed again before nodding, as his eyes dragged around the small sitting room again. “I mean, all | said was

the truth and | already said | didn’t mean any harm. Why are you getting mad?” He demanded and | exhaled a

sharp breath, unable to believe my ears.

He just spoke down on my house, he just insulted it, and this is literally the only thing that | could afford.

| let out a small laugh of disbelief as | turned away from him. “You're completely impossible, Marco. The fact that

you don’t know what you did wrong is more baffling to me.”

He cup behindalmost immediately but | shook his hands off when he attempted to hug me,

“C'mon, don’t do this right now, Addi.” He complained and | scoffed again.

“Maybe | don’t wanna go anywhere with you anymore.” | hurled at him as | rolled my eyes, running my fingers

through my hair and trying to make myself feel less hurt by his statement about my house.

“Addison.” He called out before coming aroundto take my hand in his, when I tried to pull away, he didn’t

budge, makingscowl at him, but he cupped my face and pulledinto his chest.

“I'm really sorry.” He muttered and | frowned at him.

“Why would you say that about my house though? You hurt my feelings with those words. It’s like you were

judging my house and that’s the only thing | can afford.” | mumbled and he sighed as he tilted my head up.

“But | offered to renovate it for you. Don’t you want that?”

I rolled my eyes. “That's not the point, Marco. You're stupid missing the point.”

When | tried to shake his hand off agsin, he pulledinto a tight hug and buried his face into my neck, his

hands tight around my waist.

“I'm sorry, okay? Fine, | admit | was out of line,” he mumbled and | did tried to hold unto my anger for a moment

longer but st the end, it ended up melting away and | melted right into his chest as | slipped my hands around

his waist and pulled him closer. My heart fluttered a little and | sighed, feeling whole for a few more moments

before he finally pulled away. | was still hurt by what he said about my house, and it was still gonna be

embarrassing whenever | think about it again, but at least he apologized and it’s not like | could stay mad at him

for long.

“Let's get moving.” He announced and | grabbed my purse and patted my hair till | was satisfied by how it

looked, then we were exiting my house.

“When it’s tto sleep over, you'll be doing the sleep over at mine cause | meant what | said about how I'd be

unable to stay over at yours, at least now that it’s yet to be renovated.” Marco sighed as we walked down the

stairs which creaked loudly under our weights.

| pursed my lips and forced myself to not get mad all over again, and besides, | didn’t think he was trying to

insult me, he was just speaking like he usually works, I'm the one just feeling defensive, | guess.

| remained silent till we got to his car, and after we got into it, he drove off.

Along the way, | spent the entire tbeing nervous as hell. | was seriously dreading meeting his family tonight

cause | don’t have any good memories with any member of his family that I've ever met, aside from Zane, who'd

thankfully not be attending tonight.

“Are you sure it’s alright for you to bringover tonight?” | asked Marco at one point but he nodded without

hesitation.

“Of course it is. | want them to all accept the fact that you're now the one | went to be with.” He responded,

briefly glancing away from the road to givea dazzling smile which calmed my nerves a little.

“What if your mother is unhappy?” | asked, cause | know just how difficult his mother could be.

He wavedoff and offereda resssuring smile. “She’ll undoubtedly treat you well, you don’t worry,”

I didn’t fully believe that, but I clung to those words tightly.

When we arrived at the large house, | felt my breath hitch in my throat, while my heart almost crawled out of my

chest. This is their family’s house, and it’s as big as the villa back in Italy.

Just how loaded is Marco's family?

My nervousness instantly tripled as | walked beside Marco, whose arms were aroundas he ledinto the

house, looking relaxed and extremely confident. As | walked past large pillars beside Marco, | felt so out of place,

like I didn’t belong here. No wonder my house disgusted Marco, when he was used to riches like this.

Mzrco was just such a laid back person that | just sometimes used to forget that he was born and brought up in

riches.

As soon as two oak doors were pushed open for the two of us, we walked right into the large room with a very

breathtaking interior view and a jaw dropping chandelier hanging off the high ceiling. There were a bunch of

maids bursting around, and a large table with elegant looking chairs around it in the middle of the room. My

mouth fell open in awe as | glanced around. At the far end of the room, the entire wall there was glass, and a

large pool could be sighted right there.

glanced up at Marco, already feeling excitement fill up my stomach as | gushed. “This is so beautifu-"

| was still speaking when the oak doors were being pulled open and | stiffened before whirling around, and my

jaw fell right on the floor at the sight of none other than Zade casually strolling in.
