Chapter 14
I wrapped myself in the blanket, listening to the sounds outside.
I noticed Kane didn't immediately come up and pull off my blanket, so I couldn't help but curiously peek out with my eyes.
To my surprise, he was standing right there, staring intently at me.
Like a hunter lurking in the dark for prey, making my heart skip a beat.
"I'll have that etiquette teacher leave and get you a new one, someone gentler."
He suddenly lay down beside me, quietly watching me.
His deep eyes, like carved sapphires, seemed to glow in the darkness, making me feel a bit uneasy.
I lowered my head, but couldn't help the corners of my mouth turning up.
I didn't expect he would immediately replace the etiquette teacher for me.
I hadn't said anything, yet he could tell the etiquette teacher wasn't treating me well.
I timidly nodded, and after a long while, finally squeezed out a thank you.
"By the way, tomorrow you need to attend a party with me, on a cruise ship. I'll have someone send over a dress. Get a good night's sleep, don't embarrass me."
A party?
I felt a bit nervous, my mind flashing back to everything Jennifer had taught me that afternoon.
First of all, as a nobleman's fiancée, all my movements must be restrained and elegant.
Especially when eating, I could only take small bites and eat slowly, not wolf down food as I did at the dinner table.
And when tasting wine, I had to gently swirl the glass and smell the wine's aroma...
My mind was in chaos, replaying Jennifer's instructions over and over.
It made my head feel dizzy, and eventually I actually fell asleep.
I had originally been on guard about whether Kane would do anything to me.
But surprisingly, he didn't do anything at all, just lay by my bed watching me sleep.
The next morning, I woke up in Kane's arms.
I had to admit, his embrace was indeed very warm and strong.
Just lying in his arms, I felt incredibly safe, as if no one in the world could bully me anymore.
He seemed to have woken up long ago, but had been watching me sleep the whole time.
My face turned completely red, and I awkwardly greeted Kane.
"Good morning, the weather's really nice today!"
Hearing my voice, Kane's gaze fell on my lips.
I blinked nervously, not knowing why he was suddenly looking at me with such eyes.
Suddenly, Kane chuckled softly, and he lowered his head to kiss my lips.
My eyes widened, caught off guard by this sudden good morning kiss.
Wait, a good morning kiss should be placed directly on the head, not like this, as if he wanted to devour me whole.
I didn't dare struggle too much, but I needed to breathe, so I could only gently push against his chest.
The next second, he pressed my hand against his chest, and with some mischief, used my hand to feel his chest muscles.
I could clearly feel the strong, powerful beating from his chest.
I bit my lip, face flushed, not daring to say a word.
"Mr. Moretti, I think we should get up. Didn't you say we have activities scheduled for today?"
Unable to break free from Kane, I could only try to persuade him to let me go from another angle.
Hearing my words, Kane showed a somewhat wicked smile.
He finally let go of my hand.
I had just breathed a sigh of relief when he buried his head in my neck and shoulder.
I felt a biting sensation on my neck, followed by a sharp pain.
My eyes widened, and I didn't dare object, because I felt him bite down on my artery.
I was a bit scared, afraid he might suddenly lose control and bite through my neck.
After all, he was the head of the mafia, capable of doing anything.
Finally, he seemed satisfied and sat up.
Looking at the mark on my neck that belonged only to him, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go, we'll eat something now, then we can get ready to go to the party."
I quickly rolled over and jumped out of bed, standing on the bare, cold floor and shivering.
Kane glanced at me without expression, said nothing, and turned to look at the maid Anna beside him.
Anna looked a bit timid, eyes downcast.
"Make sure they carpet the room. No, carpet the entire castle."
I was looking for my slippers when I heard Kane say this. I blinked in surprise, my eyes getting a bit warm.
This was the first time in my life someone had cared about me so much, even though I hadn't said anything.
It was really hard not to like a man like this.
I lowered my head and sighed quietly to myself.
If only he weren't the head of the mafia, how wonderful that would be.
Maybe we could start a normal relationship and become a real couple.
Of course, that was impossible.
I knew this very clearly in my heart. I shook my head, shaking out those unrealistic thoughts, and followed behind him.
Coming to the breakfast table, I looked at today's breakfast with surprise in my eyes, even exclaiming out loud.
Kane frowned and looked at me, asking, "What's wrong?"
I sat down beside him, my tone somewhat surprised.
"I thought yesterday's meal was already very luxurious, but I didn't expect you eat even better here."
After I said this, everyone around me changed their expressions.
Kane's face darkened, while Anna and the others turned pale, with some fear in their eyes.
I turned my head to stare at them, wondering if I had said something wrong.
Kane's tone was extremely cold as he called over a middle-aged man who looked somewhat older.
"Get rid of everyone who served the lady yesterday. Don't let me see them here again."
I opened my mouth in surprise, never expecting Kane to punish others like this.
I quickly reached out to try to stop him, but Kane just looked at me, his tone carrying a warning.
"They neglected you, which means they don't respect me. You should know what happens to those who don't respect me."
I swallowed, thinking that the man before me was indeed the youngest mafia boss.
Whether angry or showing any other emotion, he was always so restrained, making others shudder.
Anna and the others were directly led out by the middle-aged man.
Kane casually picked up a piece of steamed lobster meat and placed it in front of me.
I instinctively looked at Anna.
Although she didn't want to leave, she didn't dare ask Kane for forgiveness.
Finally, her gaze fell on me, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
I felt a bit helpless. I didn't know anything. I had even thought yesterday's meal was good, but I didn't expect they had actually shortchanged me.
It seemed Kane meant my dining standards should be the same as his.
Yesterday's meal was so lavish, yet it didn't even compare to a third of today's.
If only these meals could be donated to the orphanage.
I believe the Lord would be very happy.
