"You really do look beautiful right now. You know?" Luciano said as he stared into my eyes."Oh I think I know by now, this is like the fifth time you've said it. Come on tell me about you, your family, anything.""Ok, Well as you know my father retired, I own the company and I do like it but the thing is...I don't have the motivation or more like I don't push myself enough, which I want to change soon. So that's a goal. I haven't heard from my brother since he moved away to a random place, he just left a letter saying he's going away to take his years of relaxation and he isn't planning on coming back, he threw away his phone too.""Good things so far but tell me about Amara nowww.""Well, she's got a new bestie now, her husband. She's been married to julian for about 4 years now and she's never been better they even have a daughter now, you know I always thought you'd have a kid before she did because, I had planned out our possible future.""Wow so she's been busy then, glad she's

"He is your...he is your...father, your dad sweetie.”"What? I thought you said he was gone forever and that we could never see him again.""Well I thought that too but life is crazy and this week is proof." I pulled her in for a hug hoping that I didn’t put in too much emotional trauma for her. "I'm sorry for not saying I know I said no secrets but what do you think of this and of him?""At first sad and annoyed but...I kinda wanna meet him. All of my friends at school have dad's and I wanna know what that's like. Is it ok if I get to know him?""Of course honey I just have to speak with him first." Which might just end up going terribly and break her heart."Thank you but from now on no more lying ok?""Ok and that's a promise." I gave her a kiss on her head and took her to bed. After that I went to my room and began texting Luciano to tell him the details of the coffee then I fell asleep.------------------------------------------------The Next DayI didn't have work today and was

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

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

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
