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
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.

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'. Sadly though, everyone knows that life fails to come along with warning signs. Sadly. But oh if only this gabriella rosa knew how her life was about to completely change... - - - - - - - - 1 Y
Amara what a pretty name I thought to myself. I know to be just a touch bit more cautious because of high school but this, Gabriella is not high school. This Gabriella is college and there is no need to think everyone is the same. What good would that do? To let the last bit of judginess out of me, I have to point out how strangely and also creepily similar she looks to Luciano. Ugh Gabriella don't hate. She's very pretty, with her curly brown hair that bounces when she moves, as well as her dazzling emerald eyes, Luciano was most definitely benefited in the looks department so really it was a compliment though I'd never say that to him because he'd get far too comfortable with himself. I however did not want to be reminded of me and Luciano's earlier and awkward interaction."Hi I'm Gabriella, I love your name by the way." I replied with a smile."Thank you so much you are very sweet Gabriella! You've got a really pretty name. " I looked down to see her five suitcases, yes five suitca
She turned herself to look at me and started to speak, "Look Gabriella, now I can explain, usually, I wouldn't really hide who my brother is or my last name because you know it's my family and what not but you have to understand me in this situation, in the past I've been used a lot because of my family and our status so I was like since she can't recognise me I'll just adjust myself a bit and I am sorry. I was just tired of it. Please don’t let my dumb little lie ruin our friendship? I’m a very good person I swear! I'm telling you this now, some girl tried to one time date that idiot by being my friend it sucked knowing that she was only friends to use me.”"Well, I just cannot believe it! You hid me? From this gorgeous Gabriella? THEN you call me an idiot, that's low, like lower than low Amara, and you were my favourite sibling too, I would never do that to you. Never ever." Luciano began speaking."Oh yeah but you’d shout your head off at me for a decision dad practically forced on
Amara had come back to our room and slammed the door shut, I'd noticed that her brother did not come back inside with her this time and she looked even more upset than she was when she left. And obviously I blame Luciano for that, I wonder what dumb thing he could've said to her. "Are you ok?" I said as she fell back onto her bed."No but you know how siblings are, they create nothing but issues." I wouldn't know because I didn't have any but sure, siblings. She turned to look at me with beaming eyes, "You know what always makes me feel better though? Shopping. Come on let's go out." A smile fell on her lips as she sat back up turning to me with pleading eyes. “Pretty please with a very cute cherry on top?” Wow with a cherry on top how could I possibly ever say no to that?"Now I want so badly to say yes and go shopping but the thing is I’m like dead broke right now, like you my friend have so much money it'd take you years to count and for me? It'd take 2 minutes mostly just because
The way this stupid thirsty guy was acting right now was the least of my issues. As much as I tried ignoring it, all of a sudden I could feel without seeing the eyes of some girls darting and burning right through my skin. Just great. When all those people say, 'be yourself' that message does not at all apply to Luciano, it is the 1 thing he should not be."We're not dating by the way!!" I let out trying to attempt throwing water on the burning fire Luciano had created in a span of mere seconds. I really hoped that that would get them to stop with the bitchy eyes and it did for the most part but then Luciano had to once again open his mouth. What did I expect."Not yet at least...but ladies and gentlemen, 7 minutes in heaven over there by the table, come on and you too Gabriella." He jumped off the table with that all knowing smirk plastered across his face which I wanted to wipe off. The music had come back on but now most people were following Luciano to the table. He however started
"Now I don't mean to sound like a...stalker but I know a lot more about you than you think." So he is a stalker? Fun! Cool! Intriguing! Tell me more! Honestly it suits him, he's got that look about him in his eyes. Just kidding, because if he actually was a stalker, hah, I'd not be caught dead in two feet near him. He's a crazy guy though and makes me sometimes think , does he actually value his life because a lot of the time he says and makes the most weirdest choices I've ever seen and I'd realised this when I saw him leaning against my dorm room and it's like when did he get there and he proceeds to start flirting with me, his own sisters friend right bang in front of her? Since they're siblings he should know that she feels weird about friends dating her brother.I decided to get actually test out this little theory of how well does Mr Luciano Martini actually know me. Starting off simple and basic of course. "How old am I?" This may be creepy or not."18 duh." That was a pretty ea

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
