Adriano's POV
I stared at Rebecca who was lying next to me naked. Her face was full of sweat and she seemed exhausted.
I smirked.
After all, I did wear her out. I fucked her rough and hard till she couldn't take it anymore, but fall unconscious as soon as she came.
Suddenly my phone rang and I picked it up. It was David, my secretary.
"What?" I asked angrily.
"Go-good mo-morning boss, it's your grand–grandfather, he's on the line. He stammered.
I sighed. "Okay"
'What does my grandfather want this early morning?'
"Good morning, grandpa." I mumbled.
"Cancel all of your meetings today. I need you in Florida tonight, I need no excuses." he said annoyed.
"What? Why all of …….. I tried asking him but he hung up.
Well that was quick.
'But why does he want me to go to the United States today of all days?'
I hope it's something good.'
"David, book me a flight to Florida right now."
"Yes sir. Right on it." he said sharply.
"And you better be here on time or else you can kiss your job bye." I said.
"Ye-yes bo-ss, sir." he stammered.
'I'm pretty sure he's shivering and sweating right now.'
I hung up the call smirking, I love it when they shiver each time I speak to them because I am the boss, I have the authority. I am superior to them so I need to be respected everytime.
I turned to look at the sleeping beauty beside me, I kissed her earlobe down to her shoulder and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing the seducing blue shade inside her iris.
"Morning beautiful." I said kissing her neck.
"Ad, I'm tired and sore." she moaned.
"You are the most beautiful woman I've seen in my life and I'm so lucky to have you." I leaned in closer and kissed her on her lips.
I immediately got out of the bed and literally jogged to the bathroom. I hate to keep people waiting, especially my grandfather.
"What are you doing, Ad?" Rebecca asked me with a sigh.
"I have to go to the United States today. My grandfather requested for me" I replied.
She jolted out of the bed rushing to me "What?" she asked with her eyes wide.
"Yes, baby. Right now." I pecked her lips lightly while turning on the shower.
I had a quick shower, wore a black tuxedo and left the mansion to the airport.
"Good morning sir." David said, lowering his gaze.
"Is everything ready?" I asked, smirking.
"Ye-yes sir. Your suitcase is already packed in, the only thing left is for you to be on board, that's all sir."
'United States? This is going to be a long journey.'
I stared out the window thinking about what was going to happen in the United States and then I drifted off. I was so deep in my sleep that I didn't even know when we landed. I sat in the Limousine with David while the driver drove off to my grandfather's home.
"It's going to be a two hour journey, sir," David spoke up.
After exactly two hours, I saw my grandfather's mansion in view. I quickly got out of the car and rushed into the house with David stumbling behind me.
"Grandpa," I called out.
"Oh goodness, Adriano. Your grandfather is in his library" my grandfather's cook hugged me. She has been like a mother to us.
"Okay. David take the luggage upstairs." I said and he nodded.
I walked to the library, twisting the doorknob. "Grandpa."
"Adriano, my boy come in, we need to talk," he said snappily.
I saw him sitting down on a chair and I walked over to him. "Grandpa, why the sudden request? I canceled six important meetings because of you."
"I'm sorry about that, but my call is very important to you and to the family."
"Okay, go on," I said and sat on a chair across from him.
"Adriano, It's time for you to settle down."
"What?" I asked, taken aback.
'So marriage was the reason he asked me to leave Italy and come to the United States?
I can't believe this.'
"Yes, Adriano. And I have found you a perfect bride."
"What?" I yelled and stood up.
"And I don't need to hear your opinions Adriano because you're now at your age to settle down and have kids. I have fixed your marriage with my first love granddaughter Gianna. She's eleven years younger than you but age doesn't matter." he said.
"Are you out of your mind? That girl is a decade younger than me. I'm already in a relationship with Rebecca and everyone in the family including you knows that. She's the love of my life and I will never leave her for a gold digger." I screamed.
I turned around and walked to the door to open it but stopped when my grandfather spoke up with a teary voice.
"I have never in my life asked anyone for anything, not even your father, my son. I'm the one who has always been there for you, not Rebecca, I took care of you after your parent's death, not her. And this is what I get in return for just asking one thing from you.
'I've never seen my grandfather cry.
Even when my parents died he didn't shed a single tear.
But, he's going to cry because of me."
"I will do it." I said walking over to him. "If it makes you happy then I'll do it for you."
"Thank you. Your dad would be proud of you." he hugged me tightly.
"I have made a reservation at your restaurant here in Florida. I need you to be ready by 9 pm tonight, we're proceeding to meet her and her family," he said.
"Got it, but I need to freshen up right now."
"Sure, go suit yourself." he smiled at me.
Gianna's POV;Throughout the whole night I layed on my bed thinking about what to wear for the family dinner with Adriano and Mr Altamira and what kind of a person Adriano is. I've heard from Laura that he's very cold towards his employees, I couldn't sleep, I kept staring at the ceiling praying that Adriano would be my Prince Charming and I hope he would love for me to be his wife forever.My alarm suddenly started ringing and I'm still wide awake and I mechanically reached out to grab the clock to shut the noise out.'oh god, it's already seven o'clock in the morning Urgh'My stepmom walked in forty minutes after my alarm went off."Good morning mom," I said tiredly, looking at her standing by the doorway.She walked towards me and sat down gently by the edge of the bed. "Morning sweetie, how was your night?" She asked, looking at me with concern. I just nodded because I was so tired and weak."Are you sure you're going to be okay, sweetie?""Yes, mom," I tilted my head in confusion
Adriano's POV;I got out of the Limo by correcting my suit properly. As soon as I walked inside the restaurant, David announced my arrival.Walking towards my grandfather I saw the same people I saw earlier outside the restaurant while I was having a conference video call with my important employees in the Limo. They all stood up to greet me.'Wow, I guess they've heard about me, who wouldn't?I love it when people respect me, that's what power does.'I shook hands with the elderly man who looked like he was in his late forties and early fifties, and then I shook the gorgeous blonde woman with blue eyes like that of Rebecca's beside him and then the little boy beside the woman. And then there was a tiny fragile girl behind them and I took a step forward to see her properly and then I was amused by her beauty.She had a perfect tiny face that would fit in my palms perfectly. She had very reddish kissable plump lips and a short straight nose like a Chinese. And most of all she had an in
Gianna's POV; The brightness of the morning was slowly starting to disperse across the sky. My eyelids were burning because of my lack of sleep. I personally had trouble sleeping because of what Adriano said last night after the dinner so I just lay down and listened to nothing but silence which most people hate but I honestly enjoyed this morning. I sniffed thinking about what Adriano said last night. I have never been humiliated by anyone like that in my entire life before. I slid off of the bed with a frown on my face because of how exhausted I felt. I felt as if I haven't slept in years so I thought it would be best for me to take a quick shower to help relax my mind. I stood in front of the sink where I brushed my teeth and washed my face. After that, I stood under the warm water and slowly I felt my energy coming back so I had to cut the shower short. I scrubbed soap throughout my body and left my hair unwashed because I washed it yesterday. I spread a small amount of lotion
Gianna's POV; - Wedding Day - "How will he react when he sees me?" I asked Laura. "I don't know. Just relax and be calm. What he said doesn't matter, what you would be looking forward to should be what matters right now." She replied as she sat down on the bed with me waiting for the makeup artists and dressers to arrive. Today is the day I am going to get married to the man of my dreams who hates me. My life has always been bright but I know for sure that my life is going to suck with him after today. He asked me to tell my dad to call off the wedding but I was clouded with a lot of positivity because I feel like this marriage is surely going to work between us, little did I know that those were just my imaginations. Sighing softly, I pulled my legs and put my face on my knees, curling up like a ball. 'come on Gigi, you should be happy,' As I drowned myself in self pity, I felt a hand on my shoulder, making me tense and look up. I relaxed as I saw it was my stepmom, l
Gianna's POV; 'Welcome to hell?' What's that supposed to mean? Does he mean that marrying him is hell or living in Italy is hell? I mean I get he's a player but that doesn't give him the right to say such horrible words to me. And I didn't even know what got into me that made me reply with 'well, let's burn together,' like I was some heroine. Why do I get this feeling that I just got married to a demon? I'm so scared but at the same time happy, why? We haven't gotten a chance to speak to each other since there were a lot of people and a lot of introductions. I met a lot of people that I would have to pay a million dollars to meet. On my wedding day, this is all a dream come true. I've always dreamt of marrying someone so popular but I never tagged it to be Adriano. I also met Alanna, Adriano's younger sister, his late father's younger sister, Aunt Virginia, and her husband Mr. Gary De Luca. I don't think Alanna is like Adriano because she seemed like a nice person to me. She gave m
Gianna's POV; I couldn't sleep throughout last night because everything still felt like a dream to me. I'm married to a billionaire who only sees me as a maid. I am supposed to be sleeping in a king-size bed but no, I am sleeping in the basement where unused items are stored. I was supposed to have had a relaxing bath last night after the exhausting wedding and journey but no, I took my bath in the visitor's toilet which was three doors before the basement where I slept. I regret my decision. I wish I had not married him. I should have just called off the wedding when he asked me to. But no, I didn't. And here I am cooking food for Adriano as if I was a maid he hired. After a moment, I turned around when I heard my name being called. And he stood just right there on the last step of the staircase in his Almighty glory with his right hand tucked inside his pocket and his left hand held my suitcase. 'I just want to slap him on his face and feed him to the dogs or crocodiles. I hate him
Adriano's POV; I sighed in disappointment and cocked my head sideways as I thought about Gianna. Two days ago, I received a phone call from my grandfather. He threatened that he would turn his back on me because of Gianna. And that if I ever hurt her or even think of hurting her, he would put me behind bars. Like what the hell? He's choosing a gold digger he just met not more than a week over me, his grandson. And as for that Gianna girl, I came home and warned her not to ever tell anyone from my family about what happens in my house but she wouldn't listen. She even dared to talk back at me, so I had to beat some senses into her. And I am feeling guilty. I miss her, her cooking, yeah I miss her cooking because the food she made was delicious. I've never had that kind of delicious food in a long time since Adessa moved to Los Angeles to live with my grandfather. I don't know why I was even thinking about her, but one thing I know for sure is that every time I thought about her, I jus
Gianna's POV; I still can't believe Adriano abused me because of that girl. She's not even that beautiful. I'm hundred percent sure she went under the knife to get that kind of a curvy body. 'Wait a minute, was she the reason Adriano asked me to call off the wedding? And if what she said is true that she would have been Adriano's wife and not me, then I'm sure Eddie knew about her relationship with Adriano, but he didn't say that when he asked for my hand in marriage. Why did he lie to me when he's fully aware of the fact that Adriano loves that blonde bitch and not me? I hate you Eduardo Altamira. You're a liar and a traitor. You intentionally wanted me to be your grandson's punching bag, you old wizard. You will never get anything good in your life from now on.' I searched for my phone to call Eddie and tell him about Adriano and his blonde, bitchy girlfriend but then I stopped when I thought about what would be Adriano's outburst. 'I can't call Eddie. Because the last time I tol
