CHAPTER ONE

AMORE

I was seated in my private jet on my way to LA yes I said it private jet cause I own one now because of my work. I own five companies, two clothing companies, a shoe company, a cosmetics company and a gaming company also I'm a model a famous model.

I stay in LA with my parents and brothers. Well, my kids stay here in Italy because they are in boarding school here. Don't think I'm a bad mom for sending my kids to boarding school but they liked the idea of going to boarding school cause they want to make new friends and also learn the Italian language. They get really good grades.

Amore De La Rosa Greene and Xavier De Luca Greene

Yeah I know I named him after his father but does it really matter and I know you are wondering if I've gotten over Xavier but I haven't I mean he was my first boyfriend...don't judge and also I had a crush on him the first day I bumped into him in school and that was my first day in the school actually and when he turned out to be my neighbour I had a bigger crush on him and one time we saw each other in our underwear since his room was across mine so I could see him and he could see me and after that day we began hanging out more and we ended updating each other and he left some buns in the oven after he broke the glass.

*****

We finally landed at LA airport. My parents couldn't come to meet me cause they were having a guest over an hour ago and I am supposed to be here in an hour time but I took an early flight so I could surprise them.

The driver was already there waiting for me. He saw me and walked to me and greeted me and took my bags to the car and I sat and the back and he drove to my parents' mansion. I own a mansion but I hardly stay there cause I'm always at my parents' place with my brothers.

Dylan and Ryder are out of the country but Axel is here in the house with my parents. My brothers also own their own companies with some here in LA and then some across the world.

I own a boutique here that sell clothes from my clothing line and shoes from my shoe line and some of my cosmetics.

I was finally home and I saw two cars parked in the driveway. I got out and Mr Fredrick our butler called two maids to come for my bags. I checked myself to make sure I was presentable enough to face everyone.

I was dressed in a black one sleeve crop top with a black flowy high waisted skirt paired with black knee-length boots. I know I love black but who can judge.

"Welcome back Miss Riley," Mr Fredrick said with a smile.

"Mr Fredrick I've told you to call me by my name since I'm just like your daughter, "I said returning his smile.

I walked inside and I heard my parents speaking to a man about his age with dark hair and blue eyes who was dressed in an Armani suit who was seated next to a blonde woman whose face was caked up with makeup and wore pink skimpy clothes with heels from my company.

Beside them sat their kids two boys and two girls the guys looked alike but you notice that one was older than the other and they were both dressed in black and the two girls one looked like her Mom and she also hands skimpy clothes on and was wearing heels from my company and she was also blonde and had a caked up face too and the other had dark hair and was dressed in black mid-thigh dress with knee boot also from my company. They like my shoes, don't they?

Mom and Dad were seated opposite them and they were discussing something which looked serious because Dad had his serious business look on.

"I'm saying we should wait for Riley to come so we'll tell her about this cause I don't think she would like us preparing her wedding without her"Mom said. What the frigging freak

"Can't you find a way to prevent this cause my daughter has a lot of things she worrying about now and it's not good for her health? "Dad said.

"There isn't we tried to convince the old folks but they wouldn't agree because they made a promise to your parents that the eldest son of the Romano family will marry the eldest daughter of the Greene family and you have just one daughter so she is to get married to Xavier in a week, "The old man said.

"Hell no, I'm not getting married to anyone, "I said making all eyes turn to me.

"Riley you're home early, "Dad said.

"So this is the actual reason why you wanted me to come home today to get married to some guy called Xavier because our grandparents said so?"I asked.

"No dear that's not it. We called you here because we missed you"Mom said

"I won't get married to some guy who is glaring at me right now, "I said returning the glare he was giving me.

"Darling please just agree with it, "Dad said.

"excuse me, "I said and walked into Axel's room. He was sitting on his bed wearing his shoes so he could come out.

"Riles you're here early," Axel said getting up to hug me.

"Did you know Mom and Dad agreed on getting me married to some guy called Xavier Romano or something?"I asked him.

"I heard them talking about it but Riles you know Mom and Dad will never agree to something like this if they had a choice actually because of what is wrong with you," he said

"Riles please understand what they are going through they are hurting just like you please agree to it. I promise you nothing bad will happen to you because Alberto will look after you Dad told him about what is wrong with you and he promised he'll look after you"Axel said.

"So you mean I won't be abused?"I asked

"What? No, no one is going to abuse you" he said reassuringly and I nodded

"Now wipe your tears and fix your wig it looks fake," Axel said making me laugh. Yep, I'm wearing a wig cause I don't want anyone to know that I'm a famous model and I still look like myself with the wig on.

I walked outside of Axel's room with him holding my hand and we walked down the stairs.

"I've made my decision," I said and they looked at me.

"I will not get married to this guy, "I said.

"Riley what did we talk about, "Axel said

"ugh fine I'll get married to this guy," I said glaring at him cause he was also glaring at me.
