Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1) The Unveil
Chapter 2: The UnveilMaria's POVI woke up for the first time in forever to the smell of waffles. It was my favorite meal as a kid, and my heart warmed when Zia Benedetta remembered. I quickly rolled Ursula off me and ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower before hurrying downstairs. I had a room prepared for her, but the princess had insisted on sleeping close to me. She was such a pest but of the excellent type, and I adored her. Breakfast was a joy. I don't know which was more amusing. Ursula is talking non-stop between bites, and Zia Benedetta is encouraging her. Years ago, I would have gotten a light slap, and my manners questioned. We finished breakfast, and I thanked Zia Benedetta for putting me in her thoughts. It was supposed to be a beautiful morning, so I wasn't going to let the memory of my late mother patting me for finishing my food make me tear up. "Okay, honey! " Zia Benedetta said, sensing a shift in my mood. I nodded, thanking her once again for breakfast. I

Chapter 3: The search for HER'The intended design for the latest ship in the Perini Navi shipyard is a trident which will stand at approximately 355 ft. This design is not just unique but has never been seen before. It is designed to have the flexibility to stand vertically instead of the routine ship's horizontal position. The transition of this ship from its horizontal to the vertical position should take about 30 minutes with the assurance of it being a sight to behold. This ship would pave the way for a new shipbuilding order.'Maria read the details of the prototype and was amazed. She knew Vincenzo was intelligent, but she didn't expect it to be that good. It made things much more enjoyable. She had asked her spy Simeon to create a company for her where she would use in her scheme, and he had sent her the details of his creation.She stared at her MacBook, smiling triumphantly. She needed to approve this prototype submitted by the fake company and watch the chaos begin. She rev

Chapter 4: The ResentmentVINCENZO's POV"Oh, I'm going to kill her, Matteo! I'll strangle her with my bare hands if I set my eyes on her," I said. I felt so much anger it was a miracle I was yet to burst into flames. I couldn't fathom the audacity of Maria C. Delvey or whatever her name was."Calm down, man. You're not even sure if she did this?" Matteo said, trying to be the voice of reason, but I was far too angry to care about peace talks."Oh, I know it's her. It is her. She's the only person cruel enough to do something like this. She has had it out for me forever, and I'm sick and tired of playing this hiding game," I replied, downing my glass of whiskey in one gulp. "You know what, man? She's had it out for me since we were kids. I don't know what I've done to her, but I won't sit this one out?" "Of course, you won't, my friend. But we need to confirm if she's actually behind this before you step in the wrong direction.""No, Matteo! Just fucking no! She is behind this. I ca

Maria's POV"Mama? Papa?" I turn around, and it's dark. Where's everyone? "Marco? Please, someone, anyone!" I scream to the void. There's no response. One minute it was all happy smiles and beautiful kisses. Papa cracked a joke, and Mama laughed heartily. Marco rolled his eyes, sick of the dad jokes. He grabs his AirPods and blocks the sound of the laughter. There's instant peace in his face. I smile at his arrogance. He thought himself too old for the family's cringe shenanigans. However, it all changed barely two seconds later. It happened so fast. There was a stillness in the air in that one second. Then this disgusting smell I later discovered was death as I grew older. Mum and dad dashed towards us. Maybe they thought they could protect us, but it was too late. The calmness passed, and then came the crash. I can't feel my body. It feels like I've been suspended in the air and can't breathe. I'm trapped. There's no escape. Where's my grace? Where's the Mercy Lord? Where's Mama,

VINCENZO'S POVI woke up feeling excited for the first time in a long time. Maybe it was the calming effect of talking to my parents or the damn good bottle of whiskey Matteo bought me. I felt pumped and ready for action. I stood up from my bed and quickly scanned my room.I hadn't paid attention to it in weeks, unlike me. Aside from my office space, my bedroom was the next thing after my heart. It was designed in a way that made me feel in control. I loved to feel in control. I debated taking a shower before hitting my gym or going directly to the gym myself.I decided on the latter and made my way downstairs. Walking into the gym, I got a renewed energy but paused when I noticed a figure moving."Don't just stand there. Come work," Matteo called out."What are you doing in my house unannounced?" I asked, wondering if my security personnel was getting weak."Common man, it's not like I'm a stranger here.""Why don't you ever stay in your house?" I asked, doing some arm work. "You pa

Ursula woke up feeling determined. She was not just hell-bent on successfully executing her plans but also doing it with little or no resistance. So she prayed. She prayed that Maria would wake up in a good mood. That she would not resist when it was time to carry out these plans, which she believed with her whole heart was necessary for the battle ahead.She ended her prayer with a promise to donate a mouth-watering amount to the church if her prayers were answered. Finally, she was done. She stood up from the bed and proceeded to the large mirror in her room. There was no doubting Maria's generosity as a host. She had given Ursula the go-ahead to design the room to her taste and trusted Ursula not to fail.She chuckled at the worried expression that stared back at her. Growing up, people would whisper about the German princess with spineless blood. She was not as strong as everyone else, and neither was she interested in the things they liked.She was the awkward, shy nerd with an

The intervention of Maria continued as she was submerged in a tub filled with scented Water. Ursula whispered into her ears, telling her to relax as she was properly cared for. After the bath, she was massaged with perfumed oil and skin moisturizer.Then, they began her makeup. God himself carved Maria's face. Thus, there wasn't much need for heavy makeup. So they went the nude makeover route."She's so gorgeous," a member of the glam team said, and everyone nodded in agreement. Finally, her makeup was done, and her hair was tied into a ponytail."Belle," Zia Benedetta whispered as she fought the tears in her eyes. Seeing Maria all glammed up reminded her of her mother. She knew in her heart that Gisella would be so proud if she should see her daughter right now. Maria smiled as she felt Zia Benedetta's hands on her. She was sure they were both thinking of the same person."It's time for the gown!" Ursula exclaimed happily. The gown was brought and carefully placed over Maria's head.

Maria's POVMy eyes landed on Vincenzo, and my heart skipped a beat. He was a thousand times better looking than any image my treacherous mind conjured. Not only did he tower above every other person in the room, but his body build was also something hard to miss. His aura screamed, proud and cocky.I watched him stare at me in shock as he whispered my name. Good, this was precisely the spot I needed him to be. I needed to have the advantage of appearing nonchalant. I noticed conversations had resumed in the crowd shortly after the silence of awe that followed my appearance.However, it wasn't difficult to conclude that I was the center of said conversations. My eyes traveled from Vincenzo to the guy standing next to him. He was unnerved while taking shots after shots. He was the only person immune to my entrance.'Matteo!' Sidekick to the mighty Vincenzo. Aside from the fact I had looked him up, seeing him in person confirmed my research. He was a ride or die to Vincenzo. He looked

Ursula finished her story, and they all were in awe."Are you in love with him now?" Zia asked. Maria and Ursula looked at themselves and burst into laughter."Oh, common Zia, am I twelve?" She jested."Well, love at first sight does exist," Zia said, and Ursula caught on to that same dreamy voice she had used the other day at the cathedral."Zia, is there something you want to share?" Maria went along with the teasing. They both stared deeply at Zia with mischievous smiles playing on their faces."Stop it, you girls. We're talking about Ursula now," she blushed."Zia Benedetta, one day, we will force you to tell us about your secret lover," Ursula said and laughed."What about you, Maria? Have you ever been in love?" Zia asked."Love," she repeated like it was the strangest word she had ever heard. Just then, Maria's phone rang, successfully taking her out of a tricky spot."Who could be calling me at this time?" she complained. She hissed when she saw the ID pop on the screen."Who
Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1) The Sexy Man
She couldn't react fast enough as he scooped the juices that clung to her mouth and licked it, his eyes never leaving hers. She didn't know if it was his boldness doing something so sensual in public without care if her driver or his mother was watching or how he was looking at her like he wanted to ravish her, but Ursula was well and truly undone. She desired to know who this bodacious man was. "Stop playing with food and attend to the customers," his mother scolded, coming out from the kitchen. The spell was broken, and his perfectly mischievous smile came in place. She wanted to ask for his name so badly since he knew hers already, but she didn't want his mother to look at her a certain way. The food was ready and handed to them. In no time, customers filled the stall. He became preoccupied and didn't even spare a glance at her. Ursula felt disappointment consume her, and she shook her head violently as if it were some physical force she could ward off. "Do you think we could

Ursula felt suffocated, so she exited the house to get her head together. The only way Ursula knew how to do it was through shopping. Zia Benedetta was busy so she couldn't come with her. Maria locked herself in her room since the confrontation with the crazy Viola and refused to come out. Everything was getting too intense for her, and she just needed to press pause for a minute. She needs time to calm down her nerves, or else our next step might cause havoc.They drove past an ice cream shop, and she begged him to stop. It had been quite a while since she indulged herself in sweet treats. Ursula needs some sweetness to kill the bitterness of the sight of that wrench Viola Santoro.Another thing that caught her attention when she came down was the small building that sold the most interesting-looking food she had come across in her short stay in Milan. She made her mental note to taste that roadside food after her quick stop for some Ice cream."Common, let's go take some ice cream,
Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1) The Assault
Maria's POV"Aghhhh!" I screamed and smashed my phone on the wall. Damn, Vincenzo! I thought to myself. It wasn't just his words that made my toes curl in disgust, but also how he said them. He wanted to hurt me. Have they not hurt me enough? At what point does that family stop and say it's okay? 'Why do they keep hurting me!' I raged and began to smash everything in sight. Ursula must have heard from her room because she panicked into mine."What is going on, Maria?" She looked at me in fear."I am going to kill Vincenzo! I will do it with my bare hands," I replied."What is it again?" she stood before me, stopping me from damaging my mirror. "Wait, does this have something to do with social media's trending topic? Did you perhaps have something to do with that?" She asked. I could hear the panic in her voice. I wondered if she was disappointed in me."Yes, I did," I announced proudly. Her face fell, and she shook her head as if it were a dream. "Marie, I would slap some sense

Vincenzo led Matteo to the room where he kept Marco. At the room entrance were two hefty men, obviously to keep watch of the man. They bowed slightly as Vincenzo and Matteo approached the door and allowed them to enter. Matteo looked around, taking in the environment where what might be their most prized possession was being hosted. It was a large room with a bathroom and barely any furnishing: just a large bed and a table stand. The captive was looking out the window when they came in. Not even the sound of footsteps approaching was enough to get his attention."Well, that's him," Vincenzo pointed to the tall, skinny man. Matteo wished he would turn around to get a better view of him. Unfortunately, the man looked adamant about remaining in that position. "He's not much of a talker or a looker, I guess," Matteo replied Dryly, Vincenzo shrugged, short of words. "Why did you take me?" A strange voice suddenly asked. It took the duo a while to notice it was coming from Marco. Weir

Matteo walked into Perini Navi as a force of habit rather than enthusiastically. He had taken a break from work because of Vincenzo and his many shenanigans. However, he is doing much better now. Vincenzo's selfishness no longer annoyed him, and the thoughts of the sharp-tongued princess trumped it. Ursula.He tested her name in his mouth, and it came out nicely. The image of a furious woman flashed before his eyes, making him chuckle slightly. The mere thought of seeing her again made him smile. He almost wanted to try to run into her on purpose, coincidentally. He walked into the reception and contemplated between visiting Vincenzo's office and the workshop. He was going for the former when a loud noise stopped him. It was coming from the direction of the workshop. He strained his ears to hear, realizing he was the only one present at the reception. He followed the sound of the noise, which led him to the path of their workshop. Stepping out, he met a chaotic scene. Uniform men

MARIA'S POVMy bodyguard led me into the house. Ursula and Zia watched their favorite telenovela in the living room when I arrived. I tried. I tried to look like everything was fine, but seeing them, my resolve shattered. They ran to me when they saw how much I was shivering. They didn't say anything but only hugged me."I lost him," I struggled to say, but they did not understand me. I don't remember how, but the next thing I knew, I was immersed in the bathtub.Zia Benedetta turned on the warm water, letting it cleanse me. I don't know if she knew this, but it wasn't only my dirty body. My soul was in rot. I was in so much turmoil.Whenever the thought of how I was so close to reuniting with my brother resurfaced, I shuddered at my weakness in being unable to protect him. The image of his face caught in chaos appeared in my head. He looked so scared and clueless.He didn't recognize me, which was worrying initially, but it didn't trump my desire to save him.

It was good while it lasted, but now Maria was over it. She wanted to go straight to what she came here to do. She took the last bite from her plate and waited for the table to be cleared before she cleared her throat and asked the question on her mind."Why am I here?" she directed to no one."You're here-""Now that you've asked, I'll say it plainly," Vincenzo interrupted his mother.He was bored of whatever game Maria was playing. He also could not stand the sight of Roy for one more minute. He believed it was in their best interest to get to the crux of the matter before he lost control."I want my prototype back," he said."What do you mean by that? What does your prototype have to do with me?" she asked, feigning confusion."I know you took it, Maria. Just drop your silly act and return it to me," he warned dangerously."That's some serious accusation you're throwing around, Vincenzo Santoro. I hope you have proof to back up this ridiculous claim if I sue," she said casually, si

Vincenzo and his family ordered a table at the restaurant. It was one of the best restaurants in Milan, and it belonged to them. His mother had carefully planned this venue so that they could have an advantage. She didn't want them to be cut off guard."We've not been to this restaurant in ages, and suddenly, Mum chooses this place for dinner?" Vincenzo whispered to his father."You know how your mother is. She probably has her reasons for making us come here. Just follow her lead, and everything should go on smoothly."His dad said reasonably.He was always on the quiet side. He thought things through and was never ready to pass judgment. Vincenzo was glad he took his wisdom from his dad. It was just a pity he never quite forgave himself for the role his foolishness played in losing the love of his life.He got his impatience and quick temper, however, from his mother. He wanted things to be done as soon as he asked. He had no room to occupy failures of any form. Maybe that was why i
