"Guess who." A hand came over my face, blocking my vision.
"Hmm. " I pretended to ponder about it before replying." Beyoncé"
"Girl, I would be damned if I looked anything like Beyoncé. That woman is royalty," Samantha says, coming to stand right in front of me.
"Hey Sin." Samantha said, then turned to look at Luca. " Luca"
Sin nodded in response. "Luca and I need to talk to someone, so stay with Samantha and remember to stay out of trouble, little temptress." He pecked my lips before walking away with Luca by his side. Samantha and I moved forward to the bar, taking a seat.
"With this lot of lasers being sent in your direction by these desperate women, you could blow up a country." I looked around the ballroom, and Samantha was right.
I decided not to focus on them or let them ruin my mood. "I don't care; sin is mine."
"Wow, it looks like someone has gotten all possessive now. Like a cave woman," she said with a sly smile.
"You were the one who asked me to give him a chance, and I did. Sin may not be perfect and all, but I am willing to try. I don't care how it first started between us; people may call me crazy for liking my kidnapper or say what I feel is Stockholm syndrome. I know how I feel for him."
"That's deep, but I am happy for you." Samantha replied sincerely. "Have you told him how you feel?"
"No, we had a deep talk, but we haven't really gotten to the I love you part."
" really. It's so obvious. Sin is madly in love with you. I have seen him with other women in the past, and he never gave them this much attention as he gave to you. You must be really special since you are still here. Sin hardly keeps a woman by his side for a day and you manage to stay months." My brow furrowed at her words; I was not sure what to think of them. Samantha nudged my shoulder, laughing. "I’m saying you don’t have to worry about anything."
"I want to believe that, but what if, at some point, he gets tired of me?" I asked warily.
"That's never going to happen, trust me. He regards you as his Queen, that's one of the reasons he brought you here to let them know the new Queen" her words comforted me, but was I ready to take on sure responsibility especially if it involves the mafia.
I continued talking to Samantha when I heard a loud voice.
"Sin, is that you?" I turned to look in the direction where Sin stood with Luca and two other men, and beside Sin stood a black-haired woman with a blue gown that had a slit at the side of it starting from her thigh. She had an hourglass figure that made her look stunning.
Sin turned to look at her, but his face didn't give her any greeting or an acknowledging smile. "Luna." His tone was dismissive.
But the woman just didn't seem to read between the lines; she walked straight to him, latching herself onto him. She kept her hold on his hands, like she was making a statement to another female.
"Who is she?" I asked Samantha curiously.
"Luna Brambilla, all fake. I don't know why she gets so possessive of Sin. It's a clear fact that anyone with eyes can see that Sin wants nothing to do with her, but she’s as dumb as a rock to understand that. " Samantha venomously said I felt disturbed at the way he kept her hold on him.
Sin roughly shocked her hands off his, shoving her away and not giving her a second of his attention, and this brought a smile to his lips.
God! Sin must be rubbing off on me if I am happy to see another being treated like this, but a part of me kept on whispering that she deserved it. Who gave her the right to stake a claim on my man? When he turned to look at me, I didn't know what had come over me. I decided to be a vixen and walked teasingly slowly towards him, swaying my hips, which caught the attention of other men in the room, and Sin's eyes darkened with his jaw clenched.
Luna still stood close to him but wasn't holding him anymore. I reached where they were; I stepped between the two of them; and my arms were placed on his hard chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist, looking at me amused. I pulled his head down to mine for a kiss on the lips. I pulled away with a smile on my face, which he reciprocated.
"Who the hell are you?" Luna asked, pissed.
"His Queen, and who are you?" I looked back innocently, my arms still on his chest.
"Then you must be really ignorant if you believe that." She said. "Sin doesn't do relationships since I'm a..."
"Oh boo hoo, I guess you aren't that important." I retort, cutting her off. Sin chuckled along with a group of people listening.
Luna scoffed, clearly affected by what I had said. "At least I am not delusional. He is going to drop you faster than the speed of light after he is done with you."
"Definitely not as fast as he dropped you, right Nikolai," I said, making sure to say his name just to spite her. The people around were surprised because no one had ever called him by his real name, and they knew not to.
Luna stood in front of me, jaw to the ground, confused. I smiled, feeling satisfied to have the final word, to make matters worse. Sin pecked my lips and spoke.
"You got it wrong, Amore; I can never get tired of you."
"Hmm," I stared directly at her; she was shocked and didn't know what to say. "I'm going to leave you to it. I will be with Samantha, if you need me," I said to Sin, kissing him one last time before walking back to where Samantha stood, shocked as well; she must have seen the whole drama.
When I got to her, she raised her hand and clapped mine in hers, and we both burst out laughing.
"I've got to give it to you, Mani; that was hot." You put that bitch in her place." She said this, chuckling.
"I just couldn't help myself. It would teach other females to back up. I'm honestly tired of having to deal with women in his life who just can’t seem to take a hint." I said it bitterly, thinking of Laura and Victoria.
"What do you expect when it comes to a man like Sin?. They may all flock over him, but it still won’t change anything since he only has an eye on you and you alone." She answers with a sway of her head and a snap of her fingers as if to say, Period! "Anywhere I need to go to the restroom, are you coming?"
"No, I’m just going to wait until Nikolai is done."
