CHAPTER THREE

Adriano's POV 

I stared at Rebecca who was lying next to me naked. Her face was full of sweat and she seemed exhausted.

I smirked.

After all, I did wear her out. I fucked her rough and hard till she couldn't take it anymore, but fall unconscious as soon as she came.

Suddenly my phone rang and I picked it up. It was David, my secretary.

"What?" I asked angrily.

"Go-good mo-morning boss, it's your grand–grandfather, he's on the line. He stammered.

I sighed. "Okay"

'What does my grandfather want this early morning?'

"Good morning, grandpa." I mumbled.

"Cancel all of your meetings today. I need you in Florida tonight, I need no excuses." he said annoyed.

"What? Why all of ……..  I tried asking him but he hung up. 

Well that was quick.

'But why does he want me to go to the United States today of all days?'

I hope it's something good.'

"David, book me a flight to Florida right now."

"Yes sir. Right on it." he said sharply.

"And you better be here on time or else you can kiss your job bye." I said.

"Ye-yes bo-ss, sir." he stammered.

'I'm pretty sure he's shivering and sweating right now.'

I hung up the call smirking, I love it when they shiver each time I speak to them because I am the boss, I have the authority. I am superior to them so I need to be respected everytime.

I turned to look at the sleeping beauty beside me, I kissed her earlobe down to her shoulder and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing the seducing blue shade inside her iris.

"Morning beautiful." I said kissing her neck.

"Ad, I'm tired and sore." she moaned.

"You are the most beautiful woman I've seen in my life and I'm so lucky to have you." I leaned in closer and kissed her on her lips.

I immediately got out of the bed and literally jogged to the bathroom. I hate to keep people waiting, especially my grandfather.

"What are you doing, Ad?" Rebecca asked me with a sigh.

"I have to go to the United States today. My grandfather requested for me" I replied.

She jolted out of the bed rushing to me "What?" she asked with her eyes wide.

"Yes, baby. Right now." I pecked her lips lightly while turning on the shower. 

I had a quick shower, wore a black tuxedo and left the mansion to the airport.

"Good morning sir." David said, lowering his gaze.

"Is everything ready?" I asked, smirking.

"Ye-yes sir. Your suitcase is already packed in, the only thing left is for you to be on board, that's all sir."

'United States? This is going to be a long journey.'

I stared out the window thinking about what was going to happen in the United States and then I drifted off. I was so deep in my sleep that I didn't even know when we landed. I sat in the Limousine with David while the driver drove off to my grandfather's home.

"It's going to be a two hour journey, sir," David spoke up.

After exactly two hours, I saw my grandfather's mansion in view. I quickly got out of the car and rushed into the house with David stumbling behind me.

"Grandpa," I called out.

"Oh goodness, Adriano. Your grandfather is in his library" my grandfather's cook hugged me. She has been like a mother to us.

"Okay. David take the luggage upstairs." I said and he nodded.

I walked to the library, twisting the doorknob. "Grandpa."

"Adriano, my boy come in, we need to talk," he said snappily.

I saw him sitting down on a chair and I walked over to him. "Grandpa, why the sudden request? I canceled six important meetings because of you."

"I'm sorry about that, but my call is very important to you and to the family."

"Okay, go on," I said and sat on a chair across from him.

"Adriano, It's time for you to settle down."

"What?" I asked, taken aback.

'So marriage was the reason he asked me to leave Italy and come to the United States?

I can't believe this.'

"Yes, Adriano. And I have found you a perfect bride."

"What?" I yelled and stood up.

"And I don't need to hear your opinions Adriano because you're now at your age to settle down and have kids. I have fixed your marriage with my first love granddaughter Gianna. She's eleven years younger than you but age doesn't matter." he said.

"Are you out of your mind? That girl is a decade younger than me. I'm already in a relationship with Rebecca and everyone in the family including you knows that. She's the love of my life and I will never leave her for a gold digger." I screamed.

I turned around and walked to the door to open it but stopped when my grandfather spoke up with a teary voice.

"I have never in my life asked anyone for anything, not even your father, my son. I'm the one who has always been there for you, not Rebecca, I took care of you after your parent's death, not her. And this is what I get in return for just asking one thing from you.

'I've never seen my grandfather cry.

Even when my parents died he didn't shed a single tear.

But, he's going to cry because of me."

"I will do it." I said walking over to him. "If it makes you happy then I'll do it for you."

"Thank you. Your dad would be proud of you." he hugged me tightly.

"I have made a reservation at your restaurant here in Florida. I need you to be ready by 9 pm tonight, we're proceeding to meet her and her family," he said.

"Got it, but I need to freshen up right now."

"Sure, go suit yourself." he smiled at me.
