All Chapters of The Billionaire Series Book #1: The Italian Belle: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Helena's POV"That cup of tea must be exceptionally sweet this morning for you to smile like that."Castle has no idea how pleased I feel. From the moment Nathan met Nicko to the moment he kissed Marianna... especially when he kissed Marianna, I was just over the moon! I should not have watched but hell! It was deep! Seeing the three of them together gave me the perfect idea. It convinced me that they should be a family. There's no room for Wayne."Well, when a good plan comes together, I can't help but celebrate.""How did you get him here that fast?""You know I'm resourceful!""Clearly. What did you say to him though? Did you tell him you are on your death bed?"I rolled my eyes. "Nathan is capable of sensing the urgency in my voice. I asked him to come home and he did. What is the big deal?""The big deal is that you're s

Marianna's POVI have been cooked up in my room all day. I like my room. It's quite comfortable. There's nothing personal about it but it's comfortable. Unlike the other couple of days when I got to roam free in the penthouse, Nate is around. I'm avoiding a conversation with him for now. So instead I have read an entire romance novel, I have made this ridiculous plan to go to college. Courtney talked me into it. She's in MIT studying mechanical engineering. It's her second year. I'm not that clever; not like Court. I want to ask Helena to give me some guidance. She's after all financially successful  but after the confrontation she's not even looking at me. So there's that. I think I'll ask Castle. He is the friendliest person in this house after Nicko.Maybe I can be a nurse. Maybe a teacher. Maybe a secretary. I want something simple that gives me time with Nicko. I don't want to lose myself in a career and not pay att

"Where is everyone?"Castle gave me a strange look. "You don't know?""Know what?"He let out a sigh. "A day like this two years ago is when Alexander was murdered. They are both miserable. I checked on Helena a little earlier and she's not okay. I tried to check on Nate but his door is locked. I have to go to work so it's up to you to take care of them. Be gentle even when they are total pains. Okay?""Okay." I agreed feeling infected with the sadness as well.After he left I went about my usual morning routine of feeding Nickolas, getting him bathed and dressed. I set him in front of the big TV."What do you want to watch today?""Toon!" He answered.The nanny introduced him to cartoons. It keeps him distracted. The more colorful and loud, the more he pays attention. I turned up the volume so that I can sneak away unnoticed.

Helena's POVI must speak to Castle. Something happened and it's big!I ran into Nate. Since our last conversation about him taking a desk job, we haven't been speaking to each other. His decisions bare beginning to upset me beyond what I can tolerate."I'll marry Marianna." I stopped to listen. "I'll marry her before the year ends." He informed me."Will you drag her down the aisle? Because there's a lot of friction between you two. A child is all you share Nathaniel. A marriage is so much more than a child."I observe them and it's not going as I had hoped. Marianna is nervous and scared around him. He's overly domineering and he doesn't even have to say a word. My son doesn't know how to love and I think it's my fault. He's as cold and as emotionally detached as I am. It takes patience to love people like us. Alexander was really patient wit

Marianna's POV"Papi, you're food is getting cold."He can't get enough of Nicko. They have been playing together for most of the day and now even Nicko is tired and sleepy but daddy doesn't want to let him sleep."You were sixteen when you got pregnant." I was wondering when we will get here."Yes.""Sixteen.""Si papi. I was also sixteen when a lot of other things happened like me getting engaged with your approval." Let's just even the playing field in case he starts a fight."You read your mother's letter. I had no choice. So let's not go there. But let's talk about his father. Is he the one who stole you away from the house?"Sometimes I wish it was Chris. He's different from Nate. Court is so fortunate to have a man like him. I also envy Freya. Francis is an exceptional man as well. Nate is a grey character who can eith
