WINNIE'S POV

It's been 1 whole month since the fall out with Enzo. We have grown stronger, i can't think of a live without Enzo. Hades apologized for the missing file incident. I enjoy my job in fact i love my job. By the way i found out Enzo pulled strings to make me work in his Hotel.

𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦?

I was thinking about stabbing his butt, but i love him too much to carry out the plan.

"Baby did you see my phone" Enzo asked coming out of my walk in closet. He looked so hot without his shirt on, his hairs out of the man bun and he is just putting on a grey sweatpants.

"Yep it's right here" i picked it from the bed and gave him.

"Thanks baby" he kissed my forehead.

So here is the thing, Enzo calls me 'baby' a lot when he is clingy and for the past few days he has been in that mood. And for these past few days, he drives me to work and picks me after work, he wouldn't let me out of his sight.

Enzo spends more time in my penthouse now than ever, he has been staying with me for the past 2 days, but I'm not complaining tho and  I also noticed that he has been tense lately, like something is bothering him.

"Enzo"

"Yeah?" He was standing by the window, typing away on his phone.

"Can we talk?"

Uhh" he said, absentmindedly.

"Baby can i get your attention for few minutes please" i was getting upset.

"Sure, I'm sorry" he put his phone in his pocket and knelt before me, taking my hands into his, while i was sitting at the edge of the bed

"What's going on love?" He asked concern.

"What's going on?" I replied his question with another question.

"Tell me" he chuckled.

"I'm serious Enzo, what is going on with you? You have been on the edge lately, you snap at people easily and a lot more"

"I'm sorry about that. I'm alright Tesoro, nothing to worry about" he smiled softly.

"Baby i wanna know what's bothering you, i wanna help you. I hate seeing you stressed" I ran my fingers through his long hair.

He gently pulled me by the nape of my neck, closer to him and kissed me passionately.

"Thank you La mia anima, It's nothing serious. Just work, don't worry" he kissed me again.

{𝘔𝘺 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭}

"You can't ask me not worry about you Enzo, you're my live" i pulled out of the kiss and stared straight to his eyes.

"I love you La mia anima"

"I love you too Enzo" i hugged him.

My phone rang and i lifted the call. Enzo went into the closet.

"Hi Kenny"

"Hi Princess"

"How are you doing?" I asked him.

"I'm perfectly fine, how're you? How's work?"

I heard footsteps and looked in the direction of the sound and saw Enzo holding clean bedsheets, i think he wanna change the bedsheet.

"I'm alright bro"

I put my call on a speaker and dropped the phone on a night stand. I walked to Enzo and took the sheets from him, then i went ahead to change the sheets.

"I'm proud of you Princess, Nathan told me You've been cleared off your med"

"Yeah" i grinded widely at the thought of him being proud of me.

I saw Enzo looking at me with confusion and concern. He turned away to take his call when his phone rang.

"We can't wait to have you back home"

"I miss you all too"

"I have a surprise for you, when you get home"

"Really? Gimme a clue on the surprise"

"Nope, it's a surprise" I placed the pillows back in their position after changing the bedsheet.

"Yeah yeah" i sighed dramatically.

"I'm sorry, i have to get back to work now princess. Do you need anything there?"

"No, I'm good. Please take care of yourself, don't skip meals and don't stress over work, yeah?"

"Yes mom" he chuckled.

"You too should take care of yourself. Eat plenty. I want to see you fatter when you get home." I laughed loudly at his request.

"I love you too, bye" i said.

"Bye" i can imagine him rolling his eyes.

"Right" i heard Enzo saying to whoever he was speaking to.

"Vai a prenderti una tata" he said sternly, i frown. Whoever he is speaking to is clearly annoying him.

{𝘎𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘺}

"Hey" i said to him when he ended the call.

"Hey" he smiled.

"Are you okay?"

"Si, it's just Cos trying to test my limit." he smiled.

"But you still love him so much" i giggled, lying on the bed.

"Yeah....btw he is bringing Luca over, is that okay with you?"

"Totally. I missed my little man" i grinned childishly. Enzo rolled his eyes.

"I keep hearing things about you being on medication, what is this all about?"

"I always wanted to tell you but i guess i never found the right time to do that" i said nervously.

"Whenever you're comfortable baby, no pressures" he kissed my forehead.

"Can we talk about it now?" I asked him

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Okay" he sat beside me on the bed, holding my hand.

"During my high school days i used to be a really out going person, i had a lot of friends. I trusted too easily. I welcomed everyone into my life."

"One day i got a text from my highschool boyfriend, he asked me to come to a party. The location was weird but i went because i loved and trusted him. Getting to the house i expected to hear loud sound of music but it was silent."

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, Enzo squeezed my hand in show of support.

"I knocked on the door and he opened the door, there were six guys in the living room. Smoking and drinking they looked high. I asked why the whole place was dry, like there was no party and i was the only girl there. I got uncomfortable and tried to leave."

"That's when things got ugly for me. Turned out that those guys were his fraternity brothers, i didn't even know he was into something like that, i mean he was in high school."

I was reliving the whole experience, i felt my hand tremble slightly.

"You can stop baby" Enzo said quietly. I shook my head in refusal.

"To cut story short, they held me hostage and asked my family for a ransome, they also touched me against my will." I felt my tears traveling down my face.

"My family gave them the money but they were all later caught. My so called boyfriend never loved me, same goes for all i called friends. They were all there for one thing......"

I looked straight into his eyes ".....my parents money"

"That incident traumatized me for life, i was placed on medication to help with the nightmares and anxiety. That experience made me stay away from people. And i don't like telling people about my family."

He gave my head a kiss that says alot of things he couldn't at the moment.

"After that my family hid me from the world. My dad and brothers became so overprotective of me, Nathan too. He was my only friend until i met Dante and the girls."

Enzo was so quiet, i had to look at him to make sure he hasn't slept off, but i found him already looking at me, listening.

"When i was take to the hospital i got scared, i wouldn't let any doctor touch me, they touch reminded me of what i went through in that frat house, until Nathan came along. I just felt comfortable with him, Since then he has been my doctor, friend and brother."

Enzo pulled my into a tight hug. He stayed silent for a few minutes, i thought he wasn't going to say anything until he did.

"You're a strong woman Winnie Martins, after all you've been through you still smile everyday like you have never felt hurt. I admire you."

"Thank you" i smiled.

"No. Thank you....for trusting me and giving me a chance." He separated from the hug and stared deep into my eyes.

"I'm sorry Tesoro" i was startled by this. It felt like he did something and he is apologizing for his wrong doing.

"You did me no wrong Enzo" i cupped his cheek. He just gave a smiled that didn't reach his eyes.
