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

Alana’s POV10 Months Later"You've never looked better princess."Nicholas says as I stare down at him. His eyes were full of want, he was insatiable. I hoped I never looked better, I was currently on top of him, hips swaying as I rode him whilst my hands caressed his perfectly curved abs. Having to wait that 6 weeks after giving birth was torture. I'd missed this so much."I'm gonna miss you cumming in me.""I still can.""You wish. Ask me in a few months."I reply as I ride harder. "Shit, you give an amazing show. You take it all so perfectly.""Well it'll be a show you'll be seeing for the rest of your life. So get comfortable."I say. "Your ring suits you. I would've never expected this when I first met you.""I never expected to be a billionaire's wife when I first met you. It's not the worst thing ever."I breathe out."Thank you for involving me in your psychotic plan.""Anytime. And you wanna know the best part of this?"He circles a thumb over my clit causing me to tip my

7 Months LaterIt's officially been 7 months since everything had happened. 2 months after Nicholas told me the truth, he asked me to be his girlfriend. He'd planned a private, candle lit dinner on top of one of the most - if not the most exclusive restaurant in the city and he had it decorated with roses. It was perfect. It's been officially 1 year and 4 months since I met just about the most amazing man I could think of. He loves me like no man ever has and he's never made me feel undeserving of love nor has he made me believe he didn't love me. Over the past few months, I'd grown close with Stasia. I see her as my own daughter sometimes, she was the most adorable girl ever and I couldn't be happier. Elias got a new job as a financial analyst and this job hasn't ended with him coming home with bruises.Today, I'd come over to Nicholas' house to surprise him with a dinner which I was just now finished with. The house was a bit empty because Stasia was at a sleepover. After leaving th

Alana’s POV"He's getting married?!"I say as Nicholas tells me the events of the past two days. I'd come over to his house after my shift because he wanted to talk about something but I wasn't expecting all of this. We were in his kitchen and I'd offered to cook him steak and fries whilst he explained."Only for a year. Well I'm guessing he'll divorce her as soon as he can."Nicholas explains."And he can't get out of it?""Not exactly. It's in the contract I signed before I agreed to the marriage with Irina. Besides, now your brother's off the hook.""Thank you for that by the way. You don't know how worried I've been ever since I found out.""So, now that I've finished the two things, do you forgive me?"I bite the inside of my cheek. I didn't think that I'd ever get to this point with him when he first told me. But when a man fights this hard for you, there's no way you can just ignore it. The past was still there but I know that he's not an evil person. Not to me."Yes."I breath

Nicholas’ POV"I cannot believe you've stepped down without getting your revenge."Viktor says smiling like we're friends. It's been 15 minutes of this meeting and so far, he's avoided all of the questions I've had for him. Enzo and Carlos had come with me, insisting that most likely one of us might end up dead by the end of this meeting. "Can you just explain why you're here?"I reply and he nods."I just thought that some small talk with my son in law would be nice. But I guess you're not feeling it."He pulls out a briefcase from the floor and puts it on the table."Don't worry there's no gun. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited this long."He opens the briefcase and I see a stack of papers. He takes them out, scrolls through the pages until he lands on one and then he pushes it towards me."So, I'm guessing your father failed to mention this but, that was the contract we all signed before you and Irina married.""What does this have to do with him making a mistake?"I

Nicholas’ POV"You're what?!"Enzo exclaims. I guess it was rash to give up what I've known for 10 years for a woman but I didn't care. It was time. It'd caused me way too many issues for me to still be here doing this. I was back from Spain. Me and Alana stayed for an extra day and we spent it in the hotel just spending time together and the night talking until she fell asleep. She'd told me last night about how it went with her brother and how worried she was for him because he didn't have a way out. It felt like old times and I can feel her starting to open up again. "I'm stepping down."I explain."Are you sure?"Carlos asks taking a seat in my office chair next to Enzo."Yes. I don't want any part of the mafia. It's not done me much good recently, or ever. And Alana asked me to. I know how important this is for her so yes, I'm sure."I answer."But this, are you really sure? Who will even take over your position?"Enzo questions."You."His eyes widen. I'd always known that if

Alana’s POV"Hi."Clara says as she occupies the seat next to me in the hotel dining room. She looks annoyed and like she'd rather be anywhere else."I didn't exactly say sit but sure make yourself comfortable."She sucks in a breath as she looks down."He..."She shakes her head."He didn't do it ok? I lied about everything. He's not the type of person to ever do that to anyone but, I know how bad your situation is with him so that's why I lied."She shifts in her seat."I asked him to come visit me because I missed him but the whole time all he could talk about was you. I planned a dinner, hoping to get something, anything out of him but no. I knew you'd come crawling back at some point and even if you didn't I had a backup."He talked about me the whole day?"What plan are you exactly talking about?""I gave him sleeping pills. I wanted to stage it like we've just had sex. I hoped you'd walk in and hate him so much that you'd never give him a second glance. If you didn't show up, I
