Chapter 117


    Sofia’s POV


    I took a step back and watched as both men carefully carried in all the stuff which we got from the mall


    yesterday, and as I watched them align the stuff beside one another, it was making me realize just how


    plentiful the stuff was. I chewed on my lips a little with my back resting against the wall as I watched


    silently and some minutester, they started carrying in the big boards and drawing canvas and other


    bigger stuff.


    I allowed my eyes to wander around the room, a motion which I had been repeating over and over


    again, each time both men exited the room to go carry some more stuff, leaving me alone in the room.


    The room wasrge.


    When I say it wasrge, I meant it was more spacious than I ever expected. Heck, I didn’t even expect


    Luca to agree to me painting in the first ce, and after he did, I decided to try my luck further by


    requesting a room which I’d be using for my painting stuff, all to myself, and unexpectedly, he had


    agreed instantly. Of course, I hadn’t been expecting him to even give me a room this wide, even if he


    was going to be agreeing to give me a room all to myself.


    But here we are right now. I am in so much luck, even I’ve got to admit that part to myself.


    I turned around and walked a few steps sideways until I was standing before the window which was still


    wide open. With nothing in my way of the direct sunlight and the direct breeze hitting my face, like the


    thick sses in front of all the windows I’ve evere across.


    I dragged in a deep breath and allowed my eyes to slide shut as the sunlight bathed my face


    thoroughly, the breeze from the outside was blowing around my face as well and I felt it start to move


    the wisps of hair lying around the sides of my face, around a little.


    The sounds of footsteps approaching didn’t dawn on me until the sounds of stuff being dropped echoed


    in the room a little and I jolted a little as my eyes flew open. I refused to turn around because I could


    still remember the encounter I had with Ethan beside the window yesterday, and the memory was still


    fresh in my head ever so clearly.


    “Ma’am?” I heard Ethan’s voice echo and I turned around a little until I was ncing at them while my


    body was still facing tne window. Both men were staring at me like I was doing something which I


    shouldn’t be doing and I corked my head to the side a little as I waited for him to state his reason for


    calling on my name.


    “Er, I’m sorry to have interrupted you ma’am, but you shouldn’t be standing before the window that


    way.” Ethan said and I stated at him pointedly, because I could still remember him telling me about how


    it was literally like a free world for me and how I can stand before the window it I wanted to and how I


    shouldn’t be afraid because it was my house as well as Luca’s.., and now he was standing w few feet


    away from me, beside Ryan… telling me this?


    It isn’t even adding up.

    “What?” I echoed out, turning my whole body around until I was fully racing them and my hands were


    kufing off away from my sides and wrapping around my stomach because I was feeling confused really


    fast.


    “I meant that, it’s really dangerous for you to stand before an open window the way you did some


    moments ago, and that mr ri wouldn’t like it because it’s dangerous dey you.”


    Oh.


    “It was dangerous for me?” I asked after a moment, because I still wasn’t able to math the mathemating


    I watched as he nodded his head once before starting to speak. “You were standing in front or an open


    window and staring out of it, anybody could have been at thst side of the house in that very moment,


    and they could have been with a microscope and a gun.” Ethan started to exin and after a few


    seconds, I felt my heart starting to slowly sink into my stomach.


    “He could choose to whip out his gun and shoot you immediately without even thinking twice.” Ethan


    continued and I felt myself flinching a little before I could control it, goosebumps covered my skin in the


    next moment and it was for a really bad reason.


    I dragged in a small breath and puffed it out after a moment, before I lifted my head up and stared into


    both mens faces at the same time.


    “It’s that bad?” I demanded in a quiet voice, because sometimes I’d find myself seeing Luca in a whole


    different light and sometimes, stuffs like thises up and I’d be reminded immediately that Luca is a


    really bad and dangerous man, because there was no way a man who isn’t so dangerous, would be


    able to have so many enemies who might be lurking around his house every moment.


    “Yeah, it is actually really bad, and sometimes, it’s worse than that. It all depends though.” Ethan said a


    small shrug which I didn’t miss, the shrug literally meant that he expected me to know all what he had


    just said to me since I was literally married to the man.


    I dragged in another deep breath and puffed it out slowly, taking in another deep breath almost


    immediately and puffing it out instantly once again, tne feeling of my heart which had unconsciously


    started to rave start to slowly calm down.


    I took a step to the side and ran my fingers over my arm whine steering around the room,pletely


    aware of the fact that there were two men who were standing a few feet away from me, and that thrum


    eyes were trailing my every move, and that they weren’t even trying to hide it at this point.


    I took a few step away from where I was standing and moved my right shoulder up so it pointed


    backwards at the window, with my eyes locked with Ethan’s. “Would youe to shut it then?” I asked


    and bit on my lower lips as I watched him give a nod of his head before he came towards me and


    started to fiddle with the windows until he had dragged it close, automatically lowering the power of the


    sunlight which had been intense lying pouring into the room in a good way. He moved towards the


    second window in the room and did the same thing to it, and once he was done, he slowly turned


    around until he was staring at me once again.


    I dragged in a deep breath and puffed it out ever so slowly, moving my fingers towards and trying to run


    my fingers through my hair. And then I realized thst i coukfbt do that because my hair had been packed


    into a single braid this morning behind my head, but that he it of my running my fingers through my hair


    andbing my fingers through it, was a huge part of me and something I do unconsciously, so I


    guess it was pretty understand that I had forgotten about the fact thst my hair wasn’t cascading around


    my shoulders and waist at the moment.


    I ced my hands on my waist and dragged in a deep breath, taking a few steps backwards and


    throwing my gaze at the pile of stuff which obviously needed to be put away to their various ces.


    “Alright, we should probably start sorting this whole thing out, right?” I said loudly as I moved towards


    the pile of painting stuffs which were all ced beside themselves in one part of the room, feeling both


    men move behind me and were currently standing behind me even though they hadn’t said a thing


    aloud in reply.


    “I moved forward and was about to lift up a small box when Ethan’s voice made me pause immediately.


    “The master said you are not supposed to touch a thing.”
