I'm going to kill you...

A driver arrived shortly after I left Nyx's, sent to take me to Lorenzo's house. The journey was made in silence, each second strengthening my resolve. The driver dropped me off in front of a majestic entrance, where two bodyguards vigilantly monitored the area. To my great surprise, they let me in without asking any questions, as if my presence had been planned.

The large gate opened with a slight creak, revealing an immense mansion illuminated by multiple lights, each window seeming to harbor a part of mystery. The place was imposing, intimidating even, but I didn't let that impression take over me. I got out of the car, adjusting the dress Nyx had lent me, and walked confidently towards the main entrance.

It was then that I was frozen by the scene unfolding before me. In the garden, visible through the large bay windows, the family dinner was in full swing. Bursts of laughter and lively conversations filled the air, creating an atmosphere of apparent happiness. Lorenzo's family members seemed so happy, so carefree. But this idyllic picture only strengthened my determination. I was there to sow discord, to reveal the truth hidden beneath those smiles.

I approached the front door, and a butler in an impeccable uniform opened the door with a respectful greeting.

- Hello Miss. Can I take your coat?

I declined politely, thanking the butler before entering the sumptuous and ornately decorated entrance hall. Lorenzo was there, sitting at the table with several members of his family, his face beaming with pleasure. When he finally noticed me, he seemed surprised, but I also saw a glimmer of suspicion in his eyes.

I gave him a mischievous smile, my lips curving into a defiant expression. Lorenzo apologized before standing and walking towards me, his smile curdling into a polite but tense expression.

-Good evening, he said, staring at me. I didn't expect to see you here.

I shrugged my shoulders slightly, feigning innocence.

-I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get to know your family. After all, we're almost related, aren't we?

He clenched his jaw, but kept his smile in place.

Lorenzo leaned towards me.

-What are you really doing here? he whispered, his voice laced with suspicion.

I stared into his, holding his gaze without wavering.

-I just wanted to see what a party at your house is like, I replied softly. 

He sat up, trying to hide his irritation. He tore off my coat that I was wearing before handing it to the butler 

-Butler Demir put away his coat, Lorenzo ordered him

-Yes young master, complies the butler Demir 

When the butler left, Lorenzo gave me a dirty look. 

-You have no interest in doing anything, he threatened me

I smiled at him innocently.

-You know me, I'm not like that, I replied with a mischievous smile.

We joined the rest of his family members already at the table. The members of his family were surprised to see me arrive, especially his mother. 

-Is this your girlfriend?, asked his mother, shocked

-What did you promise him to get this beautiful girl to go out with you?, his father asked him ironically. 

-DAD ! MOM !

I'm not sure whether I should be happy that he thought their son was no match for me or be upset that he even thought we were dating.

-Pfft, I laughed 

I chose to laugh instead, which irritated him greatly. 

-No, she agreed to go out with me without me doing anything, lied Lorenzo while sipping his glass of water 

-Huh?, I replied with wide eyes 

I saw him smile at me innocently. 

-Don't be embarrassed, Lorenzo said to me in a hypocritical tone, my parents are not going to eat you
