♥ CHAPTER FORTY''SIX.♥

Elisabeth.

He takes me to the Box and starts bathing me, in a calm and gentle way.

“Thanks for taking such good care of me, Chris. I close my eyes, absorbing the delicious sensation of having the wonder of his two hands roaming over my wet body.

“You don't have to thank me, Elisa. You are our woman, it is our duty to do this '' he kisses my collarbone and smiles, while he continues to soap my entire body until I rinse. '' Let's go out? You're already clean '' now he kisses my forehead and picks me up, immediately turning off the shower.

I wrap my arms around his neck as he carries me out of the bathroom, leaving me gently standing at the foot of the bed, going to get a towel.

They really changed during those years. They seem more mature, I don't know.

'' Here. He walks over with the towel in his hand. “Let me take care of you,” and starts to dry me off.

“Chris, why are you being nicer to me? I ask and he sighs, looking at me.

'' You know, Elisa, when we saw you for the first time we felt something very strong for you. During our childhood, we were taught to share things, so my brothers and I took it for granted. We grew up and started to share women without having a feeling of ownership and jealousy because this is normal for us. '' I smiled slightly. “But when I saw you, I wanted you as mine. Just mine. Only, behind me, there are four guys who also wanted you. This caused a fight between us. "I'm surprised to hear that." “So we talked and decided that we would share you. It was difficult at first, but we managed to deal with it. "He holds my face. '' What I'm saying is that we all love you and we've wronged you a lot in the past, now we want to fix it, doing everything in a different way. Christopher lowers his head. “We all treat you like any other woman even though we have feelings for you. As a simple maid, even if you are not that. I'm so sorry, Elisa, for all the pain we've caused you.

“Chris.” With my hands, I lift his head up, running my fingers over his beard. '' Everyone makes mistakes and that's a natural part of life. I suffered a lot because of you, because of the way you treated me. He nods. “But everyone deserves a second chance. I almost died and now I'm back, with a new chance to live my life. I love each of you equally, it's not like I love one more than the other. This is my new chance to have a better life than that one, next to you. So please take care of me and don't hurt me anymore.

He gives me a chaste kiss and I return the same intensity.

'' I promise you that we will try to make you the happiest woman in the world '' he says as he separates our lips, touching his forehead to mine.

“I appreciate that.

"Well, let's get ready to go down."

Right now, I'm having breakfast with Dylan and Lorenzo, as the rest have gone off to sort out some mob business.

“Well, I've been thinking I might go to college. I say, suddenly piquing their interest.

'' No! '' they respond in unison.

'' And why not? '' I cross my arms and close my face, serious.

“We don't want you to be surrounded by other men, Elisa. You are so much beautiful. '' Lorenzo answers, a little possessive.

I roll my eyes at all this childishness.

'' I belong to the five of you and I love you very much, I don't want any man but you. '' My tone is firm. '' So please? I make a cute face and hear them sigh.

“Don't look at us like that, honey. We can discuss it once the others arrive,” Dylan assures.

"So I'm your prisoner?" I mutter sadly.

'' No way! You are not that, my love. says Lorenzo quickly, but I shake my head, stopping to eat.

"Sometimes it feels like I am." They don't want me to study because they think men will hit on me, as if that would have any effect. It's you I love, you should trust me more. '' I get up from the chair. “I'm going to see the rest of the manor, excuse me.

I leave the dining room furious, but on the way there, I smile. Emotional blackmail always works. And they would abide by my decision to study whether they wanted to or not. I want to live a normal life, with opportunities I never had before. I want to study like Jessica studied and be someone in life.

I walk around the mansion exploring everything with great enthusiasm. I meet some servants in the garden and others who do the house security, but none of them look me in the face. These guys need to stop all this possession mania. I explore the place again and find some empty offices, a huge movie theater that makes my jaw drop, a gym and a beautiful library.

I wander through the library, too fond of the crowded shelves. I've always been crazy about books, since I was a little girl. I learned to love stories while still at the orphanage, as they always soothed my fears.

I start looking for something interesting to read and I find the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I always wanted to read this book.

I go to the small sofa that is located in the center of the library and sit down. I won't even say how the decoration is here, because everyone already knows that everything is in golden tones. It's just enough now that their underpants are golden.

I laugh when imagining the daring of the five boys. Would they be that bold?

Anyway, I start reading the book and, in a short time, I get lost in the story.

'' Dear? Dylan's voice makes me jump. I was so absorbed in the book that I didn't even see him enter.

'' Yes dear? I turn my attention from my reading and look at him.

Oh, how I love this man! He doesn't even seem like the usual sadist.

'' I was wondering… would you like to go out with me to see Italy?

I widen my eyes.

“Is this serious? I get up from the couch, putting the book aside. “Are you serious, Dylan?

'' Of course my love. I know you don't like being cooped up like this, so getting outside might help.

I smile widely.

'' Thank you very much. I'm so happy about it. '' I hug him tightly and make him laugh.

“You have nothing to worry about, my love. "He strokes my cheek." "Today we're going to have fun."
