Chapter 34 There is such a special sweetness in being able to participate in creation. -Pamela S. Nadav Marco Orsini’s POV “Signore! Signore…” Francesca’s loyal secretary blocked my way again like the first time I went to her office and asked the young widow to find me a bride. “You can’t just barge into Signora Marcolini’s office without an appointment.

Ever since that day he gave me a bouquet of flowers and a beautiful dress, almost every day I find a gift in my office. Those gifts weren’t that expensive as I first thought. From office pillows, personalized mug and one time he gave me a picture frame with a picture of him in it.

RE: BIAFRA; “IT’S A PLOT BY IGBO TO COLONISE SOUTH SOUTH – Alhaji Sagir Ringim Sir, I want to thank you for your concern about the welfare of the people of the South South by exposing the plans of the Igbos to recolonize the region. But I am worried about the sincerity of these your concerns. Because of these worries, let us dissect and carefully assess your statements of fear and concerns in four (4) segments, so as not to repeat the mistakes of 1964, 1966 and 1967-1970s till date. In your carefully written letter or chat with the Journalists as reported in the national dallies yesterday, you clearly stated that the Igbos want to;

Chapter 32 In courtship a man pursues a woman until she catches him. -Proverb   Francesca Marcolini’s POV I stared outside the window without seeing the scenery. My expensive handcuff glinted in the sunlight. I still couldn’t believe what I saw when I arrived in my office earlier this morning. A huge bouquet of flowers with a big box with pink ribbons which my secretary told me was delivered earlier. I opened the huge box and gasped a little when I saw a gorgeous cocktail dress inside. I picked the card that was tucked in the beautifully arranged flowers and read it: Will you go to a dinner date to me tonight?  -M

Chapter 31 Advice is like snow – the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge Marco Orsini’s POV  “Are you going to frown, glare and grimace all day here in my office or you’re going to tell me what’s going on?” The irritating question came from Lucca Cavelli—the high mighty Duke of Caprielle. I should have known  that coming here was futile he can’t help me with my problem.  “What?” The duke inquired again when I remained silent. “Are you going to stare at me all day? Oh, wait  —do you have crush on me, Marco?”  “Funny, Your Excellency.” I replied acidly, glowering in his direction. “If you ever get tired of playing the CEO of your business you should try to be a comedic actor.”
