Ana couldn't hide the jealousy she felt seeing Mira with Leo especially seeing them together she headed straight to don Matteo room..
Ana stood in front of the door and pushed it not even waiting for him to tell her to come in "uncle , uncle"
Don Matteo "ah ana I thought you didn't like staying here and wanted to stay in new York"
Ana "ha ha true uncle I came here to discuss something with you"
Don Matteo "am all ears my dear"
Ana sat in Don Matteo's study, her eyes locked onto his as she revealed her true intentions. "Uncle Matteo, the come reason I came is that I want to marry Leo."
Don Matteo's expression remained unreadable, but his eyes narrowed slightly. "Marry Leo? What makes you think that's possible?"
Ana's confidence didn't waver. "We've known each other since childhood, Uncle Matteo. I've always felt a connection with Leo. And I believe he's starting to feel the same way about me."
Don Matteo leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together. "I'm not sure that's a good idea, Ana. Leo's already involved with someone else and you know how Leo can be sometimes."
Ana's smile faltered for a moment before she recovered. "Mira? Oh, she's just a friend he said that himself, I'm sure. Leo needs someone with experience, someone who understands our world. I'm that person, Uncle Matteo."
Don Matteo's gaze bore into Ana's, searching for any sign of weakness or deceit. But Ana's determination and conviction were clear. He leaned forward, his voice low and serious.
"Let's discuss this later, Ana. I'll need to consider what's best for Leo ."
Ana's eyes sparkled with triumph. She knew she had Don Matteo's attention, and she was determined to get what she wanted.
Meanwhile, Mira and Leo were unaware of the conversation taking place in the study. But they couldSense that Ana's presence was about to change everything....
