I was contemplating the whole day if I should run back into my bosses office and cancel the Italy trip. It’s just a bad thing waiting to happen I know it. After my boss let me leave early, I went walking in the city. I stopped at my most favourite cafe ever and now I’m sitting alone in a corner with my laptop open. I know what you must be thinking what do I need it open for exactly? Well I’m debating whether or not I should look him up and find out where in Italy he is. So one part of my mind is telling me the obvious facts, he’s your ex Gabriella. Don’t go back to him. He’s moved on with his life. YOU have to move on with your life. Then the other part is stating facts I would not mind to be true. He probably still remembers you. You need to know if he works at where I’m going. This is just so you can avoid seeing him accidentally. It will rule out your doubts. My hand went to the key board typing the first letter of his name which I deleted and re typed a few more times. I then slamm

    Someone got up to open the door and I introduced myself as what my boss told me to and came into the room. I felt nerves as I walked, I looked around scanning the room and observing everyone, all eyes were on me. The new person. Just great. I wish I could roll my eyes right now but, Gabriella, respect respect respect. I hate any and all forms of attention. Maybe I take that comment back, I love attention when I actually need it to feel some sort of way, for example if I feel like I look like absolute dog shit then yes give me positive attention or if I look especially good then I would love all eyes on me to give me praise and admiration for my outfit but when you’ve walked right into a room and all eyes turn to you of course that is the problem duh. Which explains why I’m just staring down at the floor to avoid any forms of human contact whilst waiting for people to go back to minding their own business and leave their eyes off of me. "You can sit there, it's not like he's going to s

    I looked up to see who the mysterious voice was and of course...Luciano Martini. "Yeah sure that would be helpful." He pulled a tissue for my issue from his suit pocket and handed it over to me as he sat down, I realized where he was about to sit but looks like he made that observation for himself."Is that your throw up?" He asked with a little laugh. He always had a pretty laugh and I didn't need to really see that."Sorry...it was an accident and I couldn't find a bathroom in this big ass plac-""No it's fine, I don't think that many people actually throw up on the floor intentionally but for the next time you feel like throwing up just remember the bathrooms on the right.""That information would have been really useful a few minutes ago, but um anyway hi, I'm Gabr-""Oh no you don't have to explain, I know who you are. Do...Do you still remember me? Luciano?""Of course I do, how could I forget, you were basically the best and how can we ever forget the worst thing that ever happ

    The meeting had shortly finished and now I was walking out but this time not alone. As I walked to the elevator I was joined by him. "So I was thinking we catch up soon maybe grab dinner? I mean you're in italy now and what have you done so far? I'm guessing something boring...we could even go to an art gallery afterwards? What do you think?" "I think this is very inappropriate since you're you know my boss?" "I could quit my job for you?" I laughed at his statement as the elevator stopped I got out and he followed. "Sorry but did I say something funny?" "So you want to give your big job 🔝 just for me, yeah right plus I don't date." I don't date because of Adrianna. I know that having a guy around...gosh I'd hate to have to have seen my mother moving on when I was a kid because a little bit of me had just a touch bit of faith that they'd get back together. "What you got a husband? A boyfriend? I meant what I said." "I have none of those. I just don't date people anymore. I thin

    Luciano's POVI fell back onto my bed thinking about all of the things that happened today. I thought I'd never see her again. For seven years I didn’t see her. Thinking back I could have saved it, I could have saved our whole relationship. That night, I had some big plans, I was going to give her a promise ring then we'd go and watch some fireworks to end the night off, but that got ruined because my dad had gotten himself into some scandal and he said he needed me to come over. He said he needed me to come over and help him whilst the company was crumpling down and I tried telling him I can’t and asked if I could come later on because I wanted to give my full attention to Gabriella but no, he insisted I get on a plane right away. If I didn’t, he would cut me off. Meaning I’d lose every little thing. Everything. He was stressed out about the scandal, I can’t even remember what it was exactly about but all I know is that he was adamant on me getting there as fast as possible. I didn’t

    Gabriella's POV I'm now back at work and the first person I see of course is Luciano, coffee in hand and all which he handed to me."How was your night and morning?" He asked with a cheerful smile. "Good, nothing too interesting happened. Like hey take this I didn't get robbed last night high five to me am I right?""Oh, well done! My night went amazing too, Amara came over to my house though.""AMARA! Please tell her I'm sorry for blocking her, I was going through some things, you would know." There is so much I deeply regret from way back then and I realised I did what she did to me, I iced her out. "Yeah sorry about that once again but I will and I will also explain absolutely everything to you on that date ok?""Ok, so do you...have any kids , wife, girlfriend?" I asked him."No, not right now that could change though.""What...you think I have a kid or something cause I really do not. Because if in any way shape or form I had a baby trust me you would know Luciano." I began dr

    "You really do look beautiful right now. You know?" Luciano said as he stared into my eyes."Oh I think I know by now, this is like the fifth time you've said it. Come on tell me about you, your family, anything.""Ok, Well as you know my father retired, I own the company and I do like it but the thing is...I don't have the motivation or more like I don't push myself enough, which I want to change soon. So that's a goal. I haven't heard from my brother since he moved away to a random place, he just left a letter saying he's going away to take his years of relaxation and he isn't planning on coming back, he threw away his phone too.""Good things so far but tell me about Amara nowww.""Well, she's got a new bestie now, her husband. She's been married to julian for about 4 years now and she's never been better they even have a daughter now, you know I always thought you'd have a kid before she did because, I had planned out our possible future.""Wow so she's been busy then, glad she's

    The date had now officially finished and I can say that it was one big success. He's now taking me to my hotel room, my back was against the door and his tall figure leaning over me. He smelled so good and as I was looking at his gorgeous lips and thinking about how I wanted him to kiss me, I heard him ask something unexpected. "Can I kiss you to end of this date?" Like you read my mind..."Me sure yes please do I'd love that!" He laughed before coming in for it. One hand on my waist, one hand caressing my cheek and pulling me close to him...ugh am I dreaming? His lips finally landed on mine and we were kissing! Yes! I've done it I've kissed Luciano Martini after seven yearsss! My heart feels like it's about to explode. The kiss slowly turns into a hot makeout sesh right outside my hotel door room. I part lips after a while to ask him to come in. He came in and we continued the kiss right onto the couch.I pulled away once again remembering where I am and remembering how I have daught

    "He is your...he is your...father, your dad sweetie.”"What? I thought you said he was gone forever and that we could never see him again.""Well I thought that too but life is crazy and this week is proof." I pulled her in for a hug hoping that I didn’t put in too much emotional trauma for her. "I'm sorry for not saying I know I said no secrets but what do you think of this and of him?""At first sad and annoyed but...I kinda wanna meet him. All of my friends at school have dad's and I wanna know what that's like. Is it ok if I get to know him?""Of course honey I just have to speak with him first." Which might just end up going terribly and break her heart."Thank you but from now on no more lying ok?""Ok and that's a promise." I gave her a kiss on her head and took her to bed. After that I went to my room and began texting Luciano to tell him the details of the coffee then I fell asleep.------------------------------------------------The Next DayI didn't have work today and was

  • My Italian Billionaire    Prologue

    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

  • My Italian Billionaire    Epilogue 1

    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
