knew.
    “I…”
    “You don’t have to say anything
right now. Just listen.”
    “Alessandro, I know I probably
should have tried harder to reach you instead of leaving you with a note
but…You didn’t even call me back. I thought…”
    “There is good reason, my dear. I
had a lot to sort out.”
    “I’m sorry about the deal.” She’d
heard about the Otteymans postponing plans for the site near Orlando, Florida.
Rumor had it, he’d liked Alessandro’s idea but wanted to think about it more in
light of the new scandal.
    “Have you eaten yet?” he asked in
a low, deep voice.
    His voice was so soothing. Deep
inside she was thrilled that he’d come to see her but still peeved about all
the disturbing things she’d heard and read in the news.
    “I’m not that hungry right now,”
she murmured.
    “Good. Neither am I. I want to
take you somewhere.”
    “Now? Where?”
    “You’ll see. Get dressed.” It
almost sounded like a command. “Not that you don’t look good enough to eat in
what you’re wearing,” he added, his voice softened.
    His smooth words sent shivers of
delight down her spine. Why was she having butterflies in her stomach again?
What was with this man and his effect on her? There was no denying that she
just couldn’t get Alessandro out of her system. Even if she tried.
     
    An hour later, Kira and
Alessandro arrived by limousine to a beautiful glass condominium building in
the downtown Toronto area right by the lake. The view was breathtaking. Her
eyes scanned the beautiful blue water with a few white sail boats in the
distance. It was a cloudless summer day and breezeless. She’d seen these
stunning high rises on her way to work but never had she been up close.
    “You live in one of the units?”
she said, trying to hide her astonishment.
    “I own it.”
    Kira was stunned. She was in awe
of his power. Alessandro owned this building?
    She walked beside him after the
chauffer opened the door for her. They arrived at the entrance and she was
caught by surprise. The high ceiling and beautiful chandelier and sparkling
marble floor. It looked more like a five-star hotel than a residence. A far cry
from her humble rental apartment building.
     
    When she arrived to the penthouse
by private elevator that opened up to Alessandro’s residence she was even more
surprised. She hadn’t realized that some suites have their own elevator. The
tall ceiling to floor windows gave a breathtaking view of Lake Ontario letting
in ample sunlight into the unit. To say it was spacious was an understatement.
    “Very nice,” she commented.
    “Glad you like it. Drink?”
    “Oh, no thanks. Not so early in
the morning,” she teased him. She’d forgotten that she was supposed to be
peeved with him. But there was just something charming and reassuring about
being with him. His aura. His captivating presence. This was the same man who’d
been so passionate about opening up the children’s hospital in Florida.
    It was  his turn to playfully
roll his eyes.
    “Have a seat.” He motioned for
her to sit on his expensive looking cream colored sofa. He then went to his
kitchen and came back with two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.
    “Thank you.” Kira didn’t think
she was thirsty but was glad when she took a sip of the drink. It was
refreshing.
    “I’ll have room service bring us
a gourmet lunch. Their special of the day.”
    “Room service? I thought this was
a condo.”
    “It is,” he grinned. “You obviously
have a lot to learn about the way some of us live, my dear. This building is
part hotel, part residence.”
    “Oh, wow!” Kira could say no
more.
    “Listen, I want to cut to the
chase here. I don’t want to spend any more time than I have to on what I’m
about to say. I want to talk about our future. Not my past.”
    Kira listened attentively. Was he
assuming that there would still be a future between them after all that had
happened?
“There will be a news story to be released
