It is now the next day which means that today is the day that I get to meet Luciano's parents, and I am freaking out, I don't know how I am supposed to impress a billionaires parents. My parents never thought me any of this. This whole entire morning I’ve been nothing but nervous and scared and quite frankly freaking out. No one really teaches you any of this. I mean he is EMILIO MARTINI. A very powerful man, he has come from so far and he has a made a life for himself as one of the most richest men in Italy. The fact that he’s even known and well respected here and today I am meeting him? What if it all goes horribly? What if the plan fails? Oh shoot. The first time I meet my boyfriend’s parents is when I’m trying to make his other son jealous? Shit. Maybe this was all a bad idea, no no no. I breathed in a sigh and mentally slapped myself in the face. I did not just make this whole plan, get this big opportunity just to back out. I will just have to pray for the best at this point th
We were now at the house, sorry mansion, very very big mansion. This place is absolutely gorgeous, I can only dream of one day living in a place like this. It probably costs an arm and a leg, it’d probably cost me sorry a whole arm and leg to be able to afford this place. But, for today I’m going to enjoy the experience of being in a mansion and being a rich person. Sadly it’s not forever though. I am still freaking the heck out about this whole thing though. I just...I just really want this to go well, you know? It’s not just the plan that’s stressing me out but this is I guess the first time that I meet the whole family and it's a bit intimidating. Me and Luciano have become pretty serious and now I’m going to meet his family. All together. I really hope that their dad is not as…intriguing as his kids are. Amara and her silent treatment. Luciano and his bet. Vincent and his bet and big secret. First impressions mean everything to me, if you give someone a bad impression the first ti
Everyone's face was shocked. Well everyone except for Vincent who looked amused. My dress was ruined. Completely and utterly ruined. What the fuck is her issue? "Low life people like you are nothing. You will not amount to anything. And you certainly do not deserve to be around people like us? Do you really believe his act?Do you really believe that him of all people, a martini, Luciano Martini, could actually love you? What a jo-""Bella, if you do not sit down right now I will personally drag you out of this room by your hair." Luciano imputed and she actually listened. "For once I actually agree with my brother." Vincent whispered though everyone heard. "You don't love me for my subtlety." She replied. I was looking down but I felt the eyes of everyone on me. I was feeling more pathetic by the second. I stood up from my chair. My eyes began watering."Let's go." Luciano stood up with me. "By the way, that hickey makes you look like a fucking slut." But before I knew it I was alr
It was midnight now and he had pulled over to a random spot by a hill which gave us a perfect view of all the lit up houses. I had always wanted to experience this. To look and see how the moon made the houses look. I know that this night wasn't exactly the best but oh this view certainly makes up for it. It looked so pretty...tonight felt good again. I was with Luciano, I loved him and he loved me. No silly games this time. I know that. I felt comfortable with him. Safe in his presence and arms. He got out two bottles of beer and opened the car top, we had moved into the back seat and began drinking the pain and awful memories of tonight away whilst the cool and calm wind brushed past us. My dress was still covered in the red wine but it didn't matter, none of what happened tonight mattered because he was making it all go away. He’d made me far too happy to care. Or perhaps he’d made me far too in love to care. Me and him were together and nothing else was important. Him and I said ‘
( I am so sorry you guys I've never written smut before😭omg I'm sorry🙁)Luciano's POV :It was now the afternoon and Gabriella's still home with me. We were sitting down on the couch eating, well more like she ate and I watched and admired. I don't deserve her, we've been through so much and I know that a lot of people would have been worried about staying. It was all worth it because after all of that...after all of that and I have her. It first started with a little bet with my friends and now I have her. For real with no games. Everything I said to her, every little line that I said in the bathroom was true. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. I didn't think that my heart could ever open for anyone again after what happened with Bella. Or maybe I didn't want to believe it. After that happened it was hard for me to open my heart to people without doubting them. I had turned into a man whore always desperate and thirsty to see the look of sadness on people because
I woke up to Luciano's soft kisses. "Good morning beautiful." "Good morning. How long have you been up for? It's like 9 am." "Since 8 something. I went to the gym, showered, ate and I also made you something to eat." "Thank youuu but wait is your sister home yet?" "No not yet. Why?""Oh ok good it'd just be a bit awkward if she saw me naked with you on my bed.""Last night...was fun huh?" "Yeah, it was actually my first time, I hope it went well.""Your first time!? You seemed pretty experienced in there to be honest." From all the smut I read of course.💁♀️"Yeah but I really have never done that before but I'm glad I did it with you." I smiled at him. He gave me a kiss on my check and I got up to get ready. I meet him in the kitchen to eat afterwards. "So I was thinking we could go out tonight. I know a good date spot and I always have something to tell you.""Ok sure!" I wonder what he wants to tell me.__________________________ One day, Luciano asked me where was the one
When I reached home, I found a letter on the table. It was from Amara, she had also left to Italy. So now I'm actually alone, just fucking great. I went up to my room and I wallowed and drowned myself in my tears. Of course. Of course my luck in love would fail on me, it was bound to happen but darn I just wish I had a little bit longer to fall and have proper fun with it all, that's all I wanted but then again no one really stays. For example, my dad never stayed. Then it was only me and apart of my mom, I say apart of my mom because I know for a fact after that disgustingly ugly divorce it was like apart of her died. I get it. I've always believed, ever since I was a child that when we're born, there's always a person in your future waiting for you. They are the other part of your heart, they fix what so many others have broken in you. They are the glue that holds you together. For my mom, I really still think it's my dad, though they're divorced and he's moved forward sometimes, jus
7 Years Later "Adriana Amara Rosa get down here right now, move those little feet!" What has she done now? I’ve already got too much on my plate right now I can not at all be dealing with more issues. This is gonna take forever to get of the walls! "What happened mama?" I pointed to the wall she scribbled on. "Why baby why? I tell you don’t paint, don’t scribble don’t even touch the walls. It’s hard to get things off of them sweetie. It doesn't come off like 1 2 3 and I have to get to work soon, come on you know this already please co operate. C o o p e r a t e. Co operate. It means please darling work with me.” "I...I'm sorry." With that she began crying. Great. A crying child is what I need right now. I could cry right now but that’s an option I don’t exactly have because I have a heck ton of stuff to do. Like work. "Aw come here." She brought her head over to me and I wiped away her tears. "You're fine ok, you’re all fine. I'll fix this when I get home. Now you have school soo
Moving to this city was the dumbest decision ever right? I'm Gabriella Rosa, freshly entering university in a new city where I know absolutely no one. I’m taking in a new start because I've just recently gotten myself out of a super trashy place that many call 'high school'. I so would not recommend. And after high school why don’t you take a quick guess on what I choose to do? I made a rash choice to move away to the big city and apply to a bunch of universities hoping I'd get in because why not? I need, craved a new experience. I could not stay at that horrible place any longer because I knew that I would not be able to get the old memories out of my mind. I rarely actually had a lot of friends, I’ve always been pretty to myself but I had 1 friend and about a few weeks before graduation what does she do? She ditches me to become 'popular'. Good for her. Truly. A little warning saying 'oh by the way cancel all of our plans together because I don't need you’ would have been real nice.
So, dear reader, I bet you must be wondering what happened after I married my Luciano. Well good news, we didn't end up divorced like my parents and I didn't leave him like his mother did. We're happy, in love. 48 years or 17,520 days or 575 months. All which has been pretty darn amazing. The younger us truly lived. He took me all over the world and because he knows how I'm in love with art I am he made sure to get me every peice I'd practically laid my eyes on that's how sweet and generous he is. I'll always choose him. He treats me like I'm practically a princess and I know that this story is practically like a fairy tale. He makes my life all seem like a fairy tale...Adrianna, Adrianna our beautiful daughter. Her dad has most certainly made up for all of the moments he's missed. If I do regret anything it's that. It's keeping them away from each other without trying or attempting to reach out to him I so badly regret that. But, what's done is done and now we can focus on the prese
So, it's been 48 years since I first ever met and laid my eyes on my husband, Luciano Martini. A lot happened. It was the craziest love story I've ever experienced. There was pain. There was betrayal. There was love, passion and romance. We both made it into the glorious sixties and Adrianna...our daughter she's all grown up now. She's doing well in life, got herself a nice husband who loves her so much. They've got two adorable kids and me and Luciano have watched them grow too. I'm glad everything worked out. I'm glad I hoped on that plane. Now, I keep saying things such as 'there was' and talking in past tense...I owe an explanation for that. Well, I am dying. Years ago, I got a terminal illness that I'd managed to fight off for a while that is until now. I have less than an hour left to my life. An hour before I pass away and leave the precious life of Gabriella Martini goodbye. I'll never forget my first kiss. One of the popular boys in middle school, Brian. We were playing spin
Five months later"He is going to be blown away when he sees you. You look just beautiful, just beautiful ok? I really couldn't have chosen anyone better to marry my dumbass brother. He's so lucky to have you." Amara said. Today was my wedding day, after five months of crazy intense planning it's finally the day. The day I, Gabriella Rosa marry the Luciano Martini...is this a dream? Because it feels like one. I really hope it's not...I remember when I first met him a weird yet intriguing try hard jerk who I'm now about to get married to. Life has a weird way of working out. The amount of things that we've had to go through just to reach this point never fails to amaze me. I mean we went on a date, and after every date I feel like something bad always ends up happening and even when certain people weren't for our relationship I'm glad I listened to my mom about everything. I just never thought that this one little work trip to Italy could’ve lead to our marriage.When we told Adrianna a
Gabriella's POV"I don't know Amara, I think he's gonna pop the question tonight, I mean we haven't been out for like a month but I don't know. What do you think?""I don't know, I'm not your boyfriend but I think it would be great. Where are you guys going by the way?""I don't know he said it's a surprise but knowing him...anything is possible. I mean once he rented out a whole cinema so that we could have a date.""Damn that's how I know you're special for him. He never did that for anyone. I'd be happy if he decided to marry you." I turned around and hugged her."You would be the best sister in law ever!" I pulled away to look for through my outfits. "Can I get a little help here though?"------------ 5 Hours Later"Are you ready yet?" I heard Luciano say. "You look gorgeous as always...I'll never get tired of reminding you of that. I truly cannot wait to treat you tonight...You only deserve the best." With that he landed a kiss
1 year laterIt's been about a year now and a whole lot has happened. For starters Adrianna has aged up and she's now 8. We recently just celebrated her big birthday. She's really growing up so quickly, I'm glad because of how everything turned out. I'm glad her dad is apart of her life now and that he's there for the moments that truly matter. I personally never thought that life could've even ended up this way. Her dad and me...Me and Luciano are still together in fact I decided to stay in Italy not only for me but also for Adri since she wanted to be closer to her dad. My life back in New York was ok but the only reason I'd stayed was because I couldn't afford to be travelling. I had to save money for Adrianna and our little family so I just got a little house and it was nice but I could only dream of a better place for us. Now we have it. It feels like every dream I've ever had Luciano has made them come true. We moved into Luciano's house and we have weekly dinners with Amara and
At Luciano's HouseWe came to the house a little earlier than everyone to help set everything up and soon enough the guests all came in. We were now in the living room sitting in silence."Why won't anyone talk?" Adrianna whispered to me."It's been a while." I replied back, meaning it's been 7 years a while."So is that your kid?" Luciano's dad asked, "Which whore did you knock up this time?" Wow. So that is the first thing that you decide to say to someone? Children are here. "Dad watch it. There are children here." Amara said. "What does whore mean mama?" Adrianna asked Luciano's dad. What does whore mean!? Now he's got her saying whore and asking quite unnecessary questions that children don't need to know. Great. I hope this doesn't end up scarring her later on in life. "Ask your mother." My jaw dropped at why he would say that. I know that our first time meeting wasn't exactly the best but gosh what happened to simple I don't know respect? Money truly doesn't buy people class.
Gabriella's POV"So Adrianna do you like him? Is he acceptable?" I asked eagerly and nervously waiting for a response. "Yes, he's good. So when's the wedding?" Me and Luciano almost choked on the food at her pure bluntness. One of her worst qualities sometimes."Wedding?" We both said at the same time. Kismet. "Yeah, he loves you so marry him momma." I looked over at him with an awkward smile because this is an awkward situation. "Well it's a bit early for that..." I answered. "Actually Gabriella, I didn't get to do this the other night but." Luciano stood up from his chair and went over to me. "I didn't get to give you this the last night before everything happened but I've always kept this on me just in case you come back to me. Here, it's a promise ring." Oh I thought he was gonna propose to me, he grabbed my hand and put it on. It of course wouldn’t be bad if he proposed to me, in fact I’d love it because I love him. I know that all of those stupid things yes have happened but
Welcome to what might end up being the most awkward dinner ever. I was now in the kitchen making food so that I could leave the two to talk but I couldn't even hear what they were talking about.-----------------------------------------Luciano's POV "So how do you know my momma?" Adrianna asked."Well I met her about seven years ago, we went to school together, school is very important by the way, annoying but important. I met her there and at first I didn't have good intentions but when I got to know her I fell in love.""What's love?""Love...Love is a feeling that you get when you really care about them, you would do pretty much anything for them to be happy. There's different types, romantic love, love for family, love for friends. There's a lot.""What love do you have for my momma?""That is romantic love, you know without that you wouldn't be born.""How was I made?" Oh shit."Gabriella? Did you need help back there? I should go check on your mom real quick..." I got up and w
