easy for women who’d been through what she had to find a man that was willing to deal with all that baggage.
There were times before going to live with London that she’d wished she could just die. The horrors that her stepfather had put her through after her mother’s death were almost too much for any girl to bear.
She’d never meet anyone like the Landry sisters and the Fabrizio family. They are such amazing people to take her in a make a part of their wonderful family. And now she might have a chance at finding real true love with a terrific man like Daniele if she had the courage to trust him.
Well it wasn’t going to be easy but she was determined to give it a try. She really doubted if she’d find another man like Daniele, so she would be the strong woman that the Landry sisters have taught her to be.
Daniele held the door for her as they left the office. He couldn’t help but admire how nice she looked in her red pencil skirt that hugged her slightly curved body and her cream colored, short sleeved, ruffle blouse. She was wearing four inch heels that made her appear to be a lot taller than she actually was.
But even with the four inch heels the top of her head barely reached his shoulder. Her height didn’t really matter to him hell she could three feet tall and that wouldn’t change how much he cared about her.
The two of them walked from the office to the café at the Inn. The nice thing about being at Landry’s Landing is that although everything was spread out they were still in walking distance. The Inn with its café and winery, as well as the Fabrizio offices and their homes were all located on the many acres of property that made up Landry’s Landing.
They walked in silence as they enjoy the wonderful afternoon weather. It had been an unusually mild winter the temperature was around sixty-eight degrees which wasn’t very cold when you’re use to freezing temperature.
The sun was also shining brightly to make it feel a bit warmer than it actually was. When they reached the Inn they made their way to the café where Asia and Luc invited them to join them and the others who were having lunch in the private dining room.
“Thanks for the offer but I think that for today we’ll just grab a quiet little table in the corner and have lunch alone, we hope you don’t mind?” Daniele said politely.
“That’s fine with us you two enjoy your lunch.” Luc said.
“Wow, he’s always so polite does that boy even know how to be rude?” Asia said as she watched them walk away.
“Don’t let that boyish charm of his fool you bellezza. That young man that you call boy was a mixed martial arts lightweight champion for three years.” Luc said seriously.
“What are you freaking kidding me? What made him want to join the family business?” Asia said in a surprised tone.
“It’s not like he had much choice after paralyzing a guy in his last match because he broke his back uncle Dom begged dad to let him come here.” Luc said.
“So that’s why he came here so suddenly.” She said as they made their way to the private dining room.
“Well it was always in the plan for him to join the company, it just happened quicker than it was supposed to.” He replied as they entered the dining room.
“What happened quicker than it was supposed to?” Indy asked as they took their seats at the large table.
“I was explaining to Asia why Daniele had to come to the states and to work for Fabrizio Industries before he was supposed to.” Luc replied.
“Did these guys tell any of you that Daniele was a mixed martial arts champion, before breaking some guy’s back in a match?” Asia asked as she shifted her gaze among her sisters.
“No not as I recall they didn’t, at least no one told me about it.” Indy said.
“This is the first I’ve heard of it.”Gigi said as she glanced at Pierce.
“Don’t look at me I didn’t know either.” London said.
“What it’s not like it was secret or
