Ava's POV

Ignore. That's what I did for the last couple of days. I completely ignored him. I'm angry at him for being so stubborn. He did try to talk to me, apologise for his behaviour. But I wanted to talk to him about it. I was worried. Even within this short time, among all the quarrels we had I know deeply that he isn't this.

Flashback

I was folding Alex's clothes to keep myself busy. There are questions and thoughts on my mind so much to think about this Mr. Rudy 2.0. He was already unbearably annoying when he was Mr. Rudy 1.0. And now it's more worse.

The look on his face was surely scary but I was more worried about him. I jad gone through this before but I don't want to remember it.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. The door opened and entered Mr. Rudy um don't which version. Guess we'll have to check. He came and sat opposite to me.

"We need to talk."

I didn't answer and kept folding the clothes. Alex wasn't here. Monica took him for a bath.

"Listen Ava. I know I shouldn't have behaved like that. Please talk to me."

Okay he's 1.0 now. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"You sure you won't go to being your brooding self."

His eyes widened. Then he eyes held an apologetic look.

"I deserve that."

"Start talking. "

"You're gonna be like that now ?"

"You want to apologise or not."

"Yes. So..."

"So?"

"I am um sorry. I had a rough time with someone before I talked to you. But whatever it was I shouldn't had misbehaved. That's all I hope you forgive me."

"That's it?"

"Yeah well I want to know what made you like that. I mean what could possibly make you so angry. I have dealt with anger and this sort of behaviour before. That time I didn't had the chance to talk and sort it out. Now I have it. So please telk me and help me understand. "

"Who did you deal with?"

"Oh what's that you say 'None of your business' I guess".

"Right."

"C'mon tell me."

"I was frustrated okay. And I can't tell you more. It's business. Nothing that concerns you. The things that did I have already apologised for them."

"You can't be serious Amadeo. You are frustrated? Well, think about me. I'm stuck in your house with Alex in a country which is absolutely unknown to me. You come along and kidnap me from my home out of nowhere. Suddenly you start asking questions about my bro- ." Calling him my brother doesn't seem right anymore.

"Nathaniel. What has he has to do with you anyway. You own a museum! Why would he come and cause you trouble right in a museum in Italy? You own a fortune but you still intrested in knowing about me and family. I don't even know why I'm here. Imagine me having million questions in my mind and have zero answers. Imagine my frustration. "

He kept staring at me. Surprised at my sudden outburst. I waited for him to talk but he didn't.

"You're still not gonna tell me?"

He sighed. "I told you it's business Ava."

"Fine then Mr. Rossi. Now we will only talk when you're telling me everything."

With I left the room. He kept calling my name but I didn't answer.

Now, when I think about it I feel bad. Does he really owe me this? After all I'm a nobody. Will he really make an effort for me?

Amadeo's POV

Damn this girl isn't talking to me. What would I do with her? Telling her everything would mean to show her a side of me to which I don't know how she would react. Even for that I need to get her to talk to me. How can I do that when she is still avoiding me?

I walked into the living room to find her. She isn't there.

"Oh Mr. Rossi. Can you help me for a bit?" A panicked Monica said.

"What's wrong Monica?"

"Actually Ava is in shower and she told me to watch over Alex. But my son-in-law just called that my daughter is going into labour. Fiona, her first baby, I need to be with her."

"Don't worry Monica. You go right away. I'll arrange a car for you. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything. I'll tell Mario and Marco to be with you. "

"Thank you Mr.Rossi . Thank you so much. "

"Thank me later. Now go and congratulations to your daughter."

"Inform Ava on my behalf will you?"

"Ofcourse. "

She went to pick Alex up. "Okay young man I have to go now. You stay with Mr.Rossi. You're Mama would be back soon. Don't trouble him." She kissed him on his forhead and handed him over to me. He looked at me with confusion. He turned to look at Monica.

"Mimi?" He said.

"Mimi has to go now. Ok bye bye ". She waved her hand at him. He waved back too. Smart baby.

I sat down on the couch called the boys to be with their mother. Alex has been in my arms the whole time. Quiet just playing with his toy. This gives me an idea. I caress his cheeks and he looks at me.

"Hi." I offer.

Suddenly he turns cheerful and replies with a giggle," Hi !"

Whoah.

"So you know I have been trying to talk to Ava. She is not talking to me but I need to talk to her. So you can help me do that. You get it?"

He smiles widely . Thank God he understands. Then he giggles and hands me his toy. What!

"No no Alex. This isn't gonna help me. "

He still pushes the toy towards me. I smack my forehead. What was I thinking! He laughs louder at my action.

"What's going on ?" A voice came from back. I craned my neck to see. It was Ava.

Wow. I thought. She stood there in a white silk camisole with blue jeans shorts which showed her long legs. Her hair was down wet from the shower. She looks absolutely gorgeous. Even without any make up her face was really glowing. She is an innocent beauty.

"I asked what's going on. Where's Monica? " she said snapping me out of my thoughts.

I stood up with Alex in my arms.

"Monica's daughter is in labour. She had to go."

"Oh."

"Ava we need to talk." She sighed.

"We are talking aren't we?" She said and tried to take Alex.

"No I'm not giving him. You will sit down talk to me first."

"Don't be silly Amadeo." She said and tried to carry Alex. But Alex wrapped his small arms around my neck instead. Her eyes widened.

"Alex baby come here" she said. Alex shook his head no.

"What have you done to my baby ?"

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Look lets have this conversation. After that you can have him."

"Fine" . She sat down on the couch with me.

"Okay."

"Okay. You wanted to know. A lot of things. Telling those things to you would be difficult for me as it would be difficult for your to understand. I am willing to tell you. But you have to sow an oath of silence."

"Oath of silence?"

"Yes. I can't risk anyone knowing it."

"Who will I tell Amadeo ?"

"Still. Do you agree?" She took a while.

"You tell me everything?"

I nodded.

"Okay. I'm ready."

"Good. As you know our talk would also involve Nathaniel. So you would have to talk about him. Your family. Are you ready for that?"

She thought for a while. She was fidgeting with her fingers showing her nervousness.

"Okay Amadeo. If you are willing to tell me I am too. It's time I face my fears."

I am amazed. I know it's difficult for her. She is still trying.

"So there is another thing. For my irrational behaviour earlier. I would like to treat you dinner. As Monica is not here. Little Alex can be with us as we have dinner indoors."

"Why sudden dinner?"

"My way of apologising. And I would have the pleasure of having dinner with a pretty girl."

She blushed red.

"Fine fine I'll have dinner with you."

"Thank you tesoro."
