Vincenzo's POV
Maria, even before she reached my Kingdom, she's already getting on my last nerve.
The reason why Don had the nerve to interrupt my heartfelt confession was to complain about how the woman he loved and I was supposed to marry was making a surprise visit to Lysandra.
How truly annoying.
I wanted to strangle the life out of both of them.
Can't they just date, get married, have kids and leave me out of all their problems because I wanted nothing to do with it! Ugh!
I stared out the window through the conference room to the garden when Nora was currently playing with her lion cub and a few other animals while I was stuck here with these annoying council members.
I hated this.
I wanted to be there with her but instead, I'm here with these slimy old men.
I jumped when Nora turned her head and our eyes met, my heart thumped when her lips curved up into a bewitching smile and she raised her hand to wave at me, her honey-kissed skin gleaming under the bright sun rays.
