Chapter 7
Vincenzo
I couldn’t wait to get rid of her.
I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone this much.
No, really—I couldn’t stand her.
Days had passed, but I was still not able to forget about her, and trust me—that wasn’t a good thing.
I was supposed to be the nice guy—Vincenzo Garcia, who everyone loved and adored. But there was something about her that left a bad taste in my mouth.
Was it how she had forced her parents into marrying me or was it the dirty look on her face when she mentioned Luis?
How on earth could I marry someone with the same level of intelligence as Carmen? It almost felt like I was about to admit a crime—and might I remind you, I’ve committed a lot of those.
After offending her right to her face, she called me an angel. She was sick and twisted. That was the only explanation.
I took a deep breath as I

Vincenzo“We should paint the walls red. I don’t like the white.” Aria walked through the halls with her notebook in her hands.“And I was thinking, how about we make the pool bigger as well?”“If that’s what you desire.” I behaved like a perfect gentleman. Showing Aria around the house was not what I had planned for today, but going against Serena was not something I was capable of.If anyone, she knew the feeling of walking into a stranger’s home, but situation with Aria felt a bit different. She felt comfortable, maybe even a bit too comfortable.“So, where is our bedroom?” The girl raised her head so that she could meet my eyes. She had a big grin, showing nothing could ruin her day.Our bedroom?Just the thought of sleeping next to her made my blood boil.As far as I was concerned, this marriage would be an open marriage—and since she had forced me into it, she couldn’t possibly expect for me to remain faithful.

Vincenzo“So.” I sat down, admiring the food. She would be living here with us, whether we liked it or not—so I didn’t want to create an awkward atmosphere. “It looks good.”Aria, who seemed to have forgotten all about Luis’ behavior, nodded her head. “It tastes even better. Dig in!” She spoke proudly.Luis lifted his head to look at Aria. “We usually say grace—““Hmm, that’s delicious!” Aria spoke over him, munching her homemade pasta.Luis wasn’t wrong. We did have a tradition of saying grace, but if Aria was not that religious—I would be kind enough to respect her decision.“Or never mind, just continue whatever you were doing,” Luis mumbled, annoyed. His response surprised me. Everyone knew Luis as a kind kid who could even get along with a fly.Whatever it was, he clearly wasn’t feeling Aria.Luis and I shared a look as we took a bite of our pasta.Judging by the way Aria stuffed her face, I could tell the girl felt no shame whatsoever.

Aria“Because I need you more than I need her.”I almost squealed, thinking about Vince’s reassuring words. That’s right—I had way more to offer than Serena ever could.She was a useless stay-at-home mom while I was a hustler—a go-getter, the heir of my family who would actually be of value to him.Helping daddy run our products had always been a fun activity, and I bet I could help Vince and his family the same way. They needed me.I smirked, posing in front of the mirror as I stared at my gold and white birthday gown. It was not the one I had initially wished for, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered was that it would only be a matter of time before Vince and I would announce our engagement.Forget my birthday or the party—I already had tons of those. The only highlight of the day would be the look on everyone’s faces after learning of my engagement.My boring day was filled with a special breakfast, lunch, and endless gifts, but now the sun had finally set. Now was when the re

AriaThe party was in full swing. Many families were present, and as usual, they were all impressed with the party. What can I say? That was just the way the Morales’ wanted it.Many claimed being the center of attention is not something to be proud of in this business, but dad disagreed. He wanted all the attention he could get, and rightfully so.“It’s too bad the Marinos couldn’t make it.” Vince’s uncle, Bruno, spoke. “I’m sure this party would bring them to embarrassment.”We were seated at the unique birthday table reserved for Vince’s family and mine. Anyone with a set of eyes could see that an announcement of our engagement would be the next step as the rumors had already spread.“Oh, please.” Dad had a smug smile on his lips. “The Morales’ have a good relationship with the Marinos so let’s not talk about them today.”I didn’t know much about the Marinos, other than the rumors about them taking over the Garcias’ rank after the late Fabio Garcia had single-handedly ruined his na

AriaMy eyes widened as I couldn’t escape the curious smile on Christian’s lips. Not many people intimidated me, but for some reason, he did.It wasn’t because I was scared of him, but because he could break my family’s pride with just one snap.Beau confronting me to tell Christian about how I disrespected his wife had opened my eyes and made me realize that I should at least be cautious with my words.“I-I uhh…” I panicked. “I said she looks beautiful and gives me a run for my money on my birthday.”“Yes, she is gorgeous.” Christian’s face lit up. “I still don’t know what I’ve done in my past life to get this lucky.”“And you.” Christian eyed Beau. “You should greet your babies before that thing over there burns down this place.” He scolded him, referring to the Sala girl whose eyes grew darker by the second.“Yes.” Beau nodded like an obedient puppy and strolled off. The thought of him being an Alfonzo and taking orders from a Lamberti just didn’tmake sense to me.Even then, I wou

VincenzoI felt like jumping from a bridge. No, I was not exaggerating.Two days had passed since that hideous birthday party, and there were only five more days left until I would be a married man.Aria Morales had humiliated me, manipulated me, and would stop at the cost of nothing to get what she wanted.Several hours before the party, I had texted Beau for his assistance. I gave him straightforward instructions to somehow manipulate the engagement, and he couldn’t do it.Whatever he had done had backfired entirely and made the situation even worse.I tensed at the feeling of a soft touch stroking up and down my arm. “You’re finally awake.” A female voice spoke. “What’s on your mind, babe?”Babe?Completely baffled, I turned to the half-naked brunette beside me as yesterday's events slowly returned to my brains.I didn’t know her name, couldn’t recognize or remember her. I just knew she was there when I was at my most vulnerable.Just as the one before her and the one before that a

VincenzoI straightened my clothes with my hands one last time as Bruno entered the room, searching for even the slightest hint of dust.“You look…presentable, you’ve cleaned this place, you’re on time.” He nodded approvingly. “Respect and order. These are the qualities you’ll need if you’re going to lead the Garcias and the Morales’ so I’m impressed.”Leading the Garcias and the Morales’ was enough news to give me a headache. It was not a surprise, it was bound to happen someday, but I had not expected it to be this quick.“The wedding preparations are going well, and Oscar and Aria have asked me to go through a few things with you.” Bruno pulled out a long list, nearly reaching the floor. “And where’s that big brother of yours?”“Still packing, I suppose,” I said, sighing. “I guess he has a lot of stuff.”“Meh.” Bruno scrunched his nose. “I appreciate him stepping up, but he hasn’t done much for the Garcias anyway.” He patted my back. “You are the real deal, and you will bring great

AriaWhen I expressed my feelings of wanting to get married, I had not expected to sit back and watch without being allowed to do a single thing.I trusted mom, always have—but watching her plan my dream wedding, choose my dream dress, and so much more while I could only sit back and watch tiring.Not wanting to waste my day, I focused on the business which would soon be mine. Today was collector day.A day where we would go through some of the small local businesses we had funded to collect our money.We hadn’t been in the city for long, but we had been investing in some businesses for quite some time.“And that is why you don’t send out men to take care of your issues.” Dad ranted as we were walking to our first target. “Seeing the big boss in person scares them, and that’s what we want. We don’t even want them to think about screwing us over.”I typed all of his words on my phone. “Yes, daddy.”If there were one thing I was serious about, it would be the fortune and the well-being
