Virginity in second marriages by Angela

Petrified, Serena allowed Cristian to rest his head in the back of her head. Feeling the man's chin resting on her shoulder, she waited for his next movement, but he did nothing. She was surprised because being in his arms she clearly felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became so sad.

Sadness?

For a moment, Serena doubted her sense. How did she find such a feeling about this man?

"What happened to you?" she asked him doubtfully. Could it be that her story had reminded him of something bad?

Cristian neither answered nor moved. He remained silent. When Serena tried to move, he squeezed her wrist and said in a low voice full of sadness, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a few minutes." She was stunned and felt a thud to her heart. That meant she did not sense it wrong. He was really distressing. After that she did not moved, letting him lean on her. So much so that... she felt sorry for him, raised her hand and slowly placed it on his back. She sensed that his body trembled for a moment when she placed her hand on his back and then became still again.

The two remained sitting in this position. After a few minutes, Serena noticed that he had fallen asleep, so she lowered her head to look at him and saw his dark circles under his eyes. Apparently he did not sleep so well these days. So her heart softened and she let him rest, not daring to move even for a while.

No one knew how long it lasted. Suddenly someone knocked on the office door, then Leonardo and Luca walked in together. Seeing the scene, the two stopped talking. Luca opened his eyes wide in disbelief and pointed to Serena, "Mrs. Serena, what are you and Mr. Cristian doing!"

"Shhh" Serena covered her mouth with a finger and asked Luca to be quiet. Seeing Luca stopped talking, she looked up and noticed a fiery look falling on her face. Following her gaze, she noticed that togethe with Luca was Leonardo. From his face with wrinkled eyebrows, it could be perceived there was a slight sense of anger in Leonardo.

Luca broke the awkward atmosphere with a coughing sound and said to Leonardo, "Since Mr. Cristian and Ms. Serena are busy, then let's go out and come back later," but Leonardo remained motionless and replied in a voice that carried a bit of coldness, "I have something very important to discuss with Cristian."

"I understand, Mr. Leonardo, but..."

"What are you doing during working hours?" Leonardo did not even let Luca finish his sentence. His voice not was so loud but could reach every corner of the office.

Hearing this, Luca reiterated, "Mr. Leonardo, this is Mr. Cristian's office, and he can do whatever he wants."

"But it should also not be forgotten that although this is his office, we are in the Ferrari family business!" Leonardo added.

Leonardo's anger stunned even Serena, who looked at him. He used to be such a nice man. How came he became so aggressive now? Unconsciously, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Before she could react, Cristian who was leaning over her moved and said, "Leonardo, did you come to my office to vent your anger? What made you so angry?" Cristian had probably just woken up. His low voice carried a slight sense of temptation, which "caressed" Serena's heart.

Cristian moved and slowly raised his head. His eyes fixed on Leonardo, who answered him with the same cold stare, without a hint of terror.

"Grandfather entrusted you with the business, but he didn't give you the permission to bullshit, did he?" Leonardo sat down on a chair and asked in a calm voice.

Cristian curved his mouth slightly and reiterated, "What do you mean by bullshit? Every decision I make is for the good of the Ferrati family. When did I ever bullshit?"

"It's work time. What are you doing?" Leonardo continued.

Cristian raised his eyebrows, "Can't you see what I'm doing?" As words finished, his hand was placed around Serena's waist and squeezed her tightly. Serena did not expect this and let out a scream of surprise.

Seeing the scene, Leonardo clenched his hand tightly.

"Why are you angry? Serena is my wife. What's wrong with me hugging my wife and resting for a moment if I'm tired from work?" Cristian asked, "Do you think I'm already doing the bullshit? I just slept for a few minutes leaning on Serena. If I had done something else with her...then what will you think?" as he spoke, he moved even closer to Serena. His lips lingered on her face.

Leonardo half-closed his lips to hold back his anger, "Ridiculous! What if someone else comes to see you right now and sees this scene?" What Cristian did caused an even greater visual impact for him. He looked toward Serena, hoping to see sign of humiliation on her face. But he did not notice any extra expression. He left the papers on the desk and said, "Here is the information you wanted." Then leonardo left.

Luca also walked out of the room following Leonardo, leaving the couple alone in the office again. On Serena's face was still expressionless, but only she knew how fast her heart was beating. She waited in silence for his order as she thought Cristian behaved like this just to pretend in front of Leonardo. Now that Leonardo was gone, he would surely return as before.

With her help, Cristian stood up and said, "You go back to work. When you're done, wait for me. Let's go home together."

Serena was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding, "Okay," then stood up and headed for the exit. As she returned to her seat, a man suddenly appeared and grabbed her arm.

The man was none other than Leonardo. Serena's face changed, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"

But he did not listen to her. He pulled her into the elevator and then pressed the floor number of his office. He was not kind at all, "I want to help you and transfered your post even if you don't agree. Why do you have to stay by his side? Don't you feel humiliated at all?"

"Humiliated?"

"It is obvious that he is exploiting you to make a show in front of me. Serena, even if he is, don't you care? If a man doesn't know how to love a woman, then if you stay by his side you won't be happy for the rest of your life!"

Serena was astonished. After a while, she calmly withdrew her hand and said, "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."
