"Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end." ― Daisaku IkedaGISELLAImmediately I arrived at work, Leonora hugged me before I could even close the door to the office. "Oh, mia Cara Gisella, you're so good. How did you convince her assistant ?" Her voice was filled with amusement.Sweat broke from my forehead, making me blush because of my excellent work. "Well...about this, maybe the assistant Pagruso considers our hard work and then persuaded her on our behalf," I simile lightly at her."Finally, we are done and dusted with the Princess," she says in a sing-song voice."So what if you are done with Principessa Infanta's Interview!" The angry voice spat from the entrance of the door.We both turn around. "Team leader Conte! It bothers me when you interfere in our discussions. Your team has completed three remaining tasks, the second for us. Shouldn't we be happy?" Leonora flamed up angrily at S
At the bottom of my heart lies a secret that I have never told a soul in the world. There is an image of this person who is dearest to me and closer than anything else. -Melanie RockGISELLA"Thank you, Signor Nicolo, for your cooperation today," Leonora handshake him as I did the same after her. "We will not see you off then," I added, knowing fully well that I don't want any more talk with him. I nodded at Alessandro, who was smiling at me and also the beautiful Zeta."Bye, Signor." Leonora childishly waved at him, not as if he could see her. "This way, Signorino," Zeta added as she turned him around, and they walked away.Leonora sheepishly looks at me then screams. "Oh my goodness, I never thought that I would have a chance to see Nicolo Caruso in person or even have a conversation. He is so cute even being blind," she jumps up and down, grinning manically and smiling.I was happy that she was delighted. "Leonora, you're indeed a professional work of art," I held her shoulders smi
The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed. -Charlotte BronteThe capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to these teachers. -Harvey CushingGISELLA [UNEDITED!!!]We arrived in Rome by plane. I was wondering why he took me here. Immediately we step out from the plane, I look at Alessandro and Zeta who was just looking so sad. "Where are we going from here?" I furrowed my confused eyebrow, still not taking my eyes from Zeta and Alessandro."To visit my Mama," he says sadly. "I think she'll be happy to see you," he added frankly. Nicolo's mother is dead, Is he talking about Signora Ludovia? I thought. "but...but I did not prepare to see her today," I fidgeted.He smiles. "No need to be scared, Gisella, she is not the person who
"Shock is a funny thing. Things get both sharp and fuzzy. Time stretches and distorts. Things come rushing into focus and seem larger than they are. Other things vanish to a single point." ― Maureen Johnson-Alessandro carried Viola on his shoulders walking past the corridor when he came in contact with Pietro and halts and put Viola down who was wincing holding her waist. " So you're the reason why she came in here to cause a scene," He spats angrily. "For you to know, Signore Santoro, This has nothing to do with me," he added.Pietro flames up as Viola rests on his shoulder. "If not you, then who did this to her? If I didn't coincidentally walk out from my room, where would you have bought her to?" He yells.Alessandro just stares at him without uttering a word. Immediately, Nicolo and doctor Valerez walks out but stop at the presence of Pietro holding Viola helplessly yelling at Alessandro. "Pietro Santoro," His voice was filled with hate.Pietro turns and looks at Nicolo in shock
I know what it is to feel unloved, to want revenge, to make mistakes, to suffer disappointment, yet also to find the courage to go forward in life. -Tim O'Brien-Gisella got up early and took her bath. "Where is Nicolo?" she asks herself. she went to the outside balcony of the hotel and saw him sitting down on a chair. "Mia caro!" she calls as she runs to hug Nicolo. Nicolo was stunned as always because Gisella is a strange lady sometimes. he pants her back and kisses her cheek slightly."Buongiorno mia adorabile moglie," Nicolo smiles. "Why are you up so early and why are you so happy?" Nicolo ask.She smiles and holds his hand. "I'm happy because I want us to go out today, I want you to show me around Rome," she grins.Nicolo was just smiling. "Okay, then. But I want to ask you for a favor!" he added with his normal grumpy look and it made Gisella set herself straight thinking what she has done wrong."Ok, dai, sto ascoltando," she swallows hard.Nicolo holds her arm, looking strai
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." ~ Aesop-We stopped by a roadside shop that sells hats of different kinds. I took one and wear it on my wife's head, I brought out my phone and snap a quick picture with her. We decided to sit down on an umbrella stand that was beside the Hat shop and ordered orange juice with lime toppings. My phone Vibrated.I reach out for my phone in my pocket. "Hello, Padre. what happened? Did something occur in the company? I'll be back tomorrow."Don't worry about the company, Figlio. Lorenzo will be back tonight, he will take care of it. You and Gisella should enjoy yourselves for at least five more days, don't bother to come back," I was speechless as my eyes came in contact with Gisella's hazel eyes that were filled with concern. "Padre, Gisella has to go to work tomorrow,"he yells on the phone, making me shift away from the phone. "What work? work is not that important as compared to your honeymoon." he his
I wanted a relationship like the one my mother and father had. It wasn't perfect; they had to work on it. But there was unbelievable mutual respect. -Mary Steenburgen-Nicolo and Gisella arrived at the fashion mall and every eye is on them, people taking pictures of Nicolo and Gisella who was dressed in disguise. Nicolo walks behind her, holding her hand. "Is that not Nicolo Caruso?""That lady who is all cover up in hijab, who is she? is she Nicolo's new mistress or his secret wife?" "Since Nicolo regained his sight he has not gone public to the eye of the people and also, I've heard that his secret wife is pregnant but we don't know if it's for Nicolo or her ex-boyfriend,""What do you mean?" A lady who was about Gisella's age says."I've heard that his secret wife was in a relationship with another man before but the man betrayed her, only God knows if that baby is for Nicolo or her Ex,"Hearing all these, Nicolo covered Gisella's hand fully with his and walks faster with Zeta w
Being right too soon is socially unacceptable. -Robert A. Heinlein GISELLA"Signor Moretti?" I called Viola's father, Luigi Moretti, who was about to climb the stairs. The sparkles escaping his eyes were indescribable.With a grinning smile. "Gisella, my dear, you're here," He walks up to me and hugs me."Gisella Caruso, you have the gots to come to this house?" Viola shouts from upstairs. Her mama held her arm as they both walked down. "If it weren't for you, Pietro wouldn't have broken up with me. It's all your fault," she added with anger from her voice spreading in her mother's eyes.Immediately, Viola's mama tugs my arm angrily. "I knew you were up to no good after all we've done for you," She says. "I even invited you for dinner without knowing that you're the reason why our daughter has been locked up in her room crying,""And how is that her fault? She's happily married, for chrissake," Signor Luigi sides me. I raised a confused eyebrow at Viola. "What is going on?" Signor qu
