Maria
                          
It's been two months since our marriage.
                          
Me and Alesso we're busy as hell. He was leaving for a party around seven in the evening today so there are three hours left. I was getting bored in the house and I wanted to go with him but I don't know if he will take me along. I know it is ridiculous but if he wanted me to go along he would have asked. Which he didn't so...yeah.
                          
I had just talked to Jo on the phone and she sounded out of breath and when I asked her why she told me she was having sex with Tom making me cut the line immediately. Does she have no filter? 
                          
Passing through the halls I knocked on the office door. I heard a small 'come in' and I let myself in. Alesso was looking outside the window while taking on the phone with someone. He turned around to give me a small smile and I returned it and sat on the desk making him smirk. 
                          
Oh, the things we have done on this desk.
                          
I shake my head as my cheeks go red at the memory. I looked around because I had nothing to do. I see he is still on the phone talking in hushed tones making me glance at his table. There was a blue invitation card right beside me. Picking it up I read.
                          
Dear Mr and Mrs Romano. 
                          
I hope you both attend my engagement party as our business has merged I hope our families meet each other too.  
                          
Yours sincerely
Leonardo Barone.
                          
I felt a pang in my chest. I am invited? Why don't Alesso say so? I heard his call was getting over so I pushed the invitation far away from me.
                          
"Hey, amore, what brought you here?" He says as he pecks my lips and holds me by my waist as I snaked my hands around his neck.
                          
"Just bored, so I thought to give you some company. What are you doing?"
                          
"Just work. I have to finish it before the evening party." He sighs and I try not to feel hurt that he didn't tell me about my invite.
                          
"Oh, can I come to? I am very bored,  I promise I won't be trouble or get in your way of work." I say while scratching my neck. 
                          
I don't want to beg but I haven't gotten out of this mansion since our honeymoon last two months. I can't live like this.
                          
I look at him to see he looked guilty and sad. He hesitated and opened his mouth but closed it again. My eyes stung at the fact he was not letting me come, and now I felt ashamed, I don't know why. I don't want to be a bitch by complaining but was he ashamed of me that he had to be with me? Is that why he never let me go out? He has been to two other evening dinners till now, was I invited to them as well?
                          
I removed my hands let go of his chest and pushed him a bit. I was angry but I didn't show it in my actions.
                          
"Y-you know it's fine, I can just watch some movie." I hated that my voice broke a bit. I got off the table and walked to the door but he held my hand stopping me from leaving.
                          
"Maria, you need to understand it is a work dinner. I can't bring you along." He looked sad but tried to hide it.
                          
"Then can I just stay in the car, I want to go out. I have not even gone outside the house even once since I have been here." I hurt me that he can lie to me like that. Business dinner my ass.
