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 I can lose focus very very easily so if I did go it’d be you with a ton of shit that they probably think you robbed the store and me who’s just there, broke and penniless.”

“Don't worry girl I’ve got you covered! I have money for the both of us...you've earned it! Just think of it as an apology for my horrifically shitty brother. It’s what you deserve, also let's not forget how you helped me unpack, that was something you did not have to do and you put up with my brother he’s not the best. Now please say yes and let's get this road on the show?" I nodded my head and a huge smile spread on her face. "Come on let's go!"

She dragged me along with her to the mall but personally I was definitely not complaining. I loved shopping but it was occasional and it was always a 'do we actually have the money for this' battle each and every time and obvi, each and every time, I'd lose my own battle and complain about the choice later on. At first when she said let's go shopping, I actually thought that she meant going straight to the local cheap malls around here but then I forgot that this girl is loaded and cheap malls are not in her usual eye. She and me went along to all the designer shops that she could think off and she'd gotten me stuff because I was too scared to touch anything, it all seemed delicate that if I touched it, it'd just crumple and I am sure as hell not ready for a lawsuit or ready to pay it all off. When we came back to our door room, we did not come empty handed, we had bought, scratch that line, she had bought bags upon bags of jewelry, clothes and shoes.

"That was a trip but thank you so so so much for all of this stuff." She turned to me, smiled and then hugged me. I was a bit taken aback but this whole day was nice, I don't know how anyone wouldn't wanna be this generous girl's friend.

"Of course. I'm sorry about how we met, if my money could buy a time machine trust me I'd buy a trillion. I don't like to use money to solve my problems but I thought why not give it a chance here. By the way, I absolutely think that yes you should wear that Chanel dress, you know the black one that's practically to die for because I'm throwing a party tonight. Just a mini one I hope you don't mind." Damn first day, this girl is really something but I have a feeling that we are gonna be very good friends.

"A party sounds good, what time is it starting?"

"Um yeah it's starting in like 20 minutes, I bought stuff though don't worry I just need help putting it up."

"Sure! But 20 minutes is a short time."

"So let's hurry." She said and with that she started putting up the decorations and I decided to tackle the food and drinks. Can't be too hard, growing up I'd always watched those cooking videos but now I'm hoping all of this pays off. We finished in about 10 minutes which leaves me only 10 minutes to get ready great.

It didn't take me long to get ready. My dress fit me like a glove, I looked in the mirror admiring the way it hugged my curves. Black, sleek and lets not forget, Chanel. I went downstairs and began to wait for people to arrive. I wasn't really much of a party person but for a friend sure. It didn't take long for the party to start getting fun, a lot of people showed up and there was so much going on. I just started following Amara as she greeted everyone, danced and much more so that I wouldn't look so alone. Everything was going well but then the music stopped, I looked around and saw Luciano getting up on a table oh this is not gonna be good. I know for a fact that he's start saying some real stupid stuff.

"I have a bottle so let's play, 7 minutes in heaven and I'm really hoping that my sweetheart Gabriella will join me? Can I get a yes?" This guy is crazy crazy crazy. He doesn't even know me and he's acting like this.

  • My Italian Billionaire    Prologue

    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.

  • My Italian Billionaire    Epilogue 2

    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

  • My Italian Billionaire    Epilogue 1

    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
