Third Person POV
Gina stood outside the shop that Tiana worked at looking very unsure if she should go in or not. She had Nick text their eldest and ask for the address to the shop where his girlfriend worked. It's been two days since that awful lunch and Jason refused to talk to her and her husband was not to happy with her as well. She finally decided that maybe she should talk to the girl instead of judging her from afar. Though Gina couldn't help it. She was very protective over her children unlike her parents. Gina was born to Italian parents. Her father, Stephan Giovanni, was an arms dealer and her, Donna, mother was a house wife. Gina was the only child her parents could have due to her mother getting into an accident. Though they tried many times no matter what the doctor said. Her father never paid, her much attention always longing for a son and her mother was always in her own drunken to even pretend to give a damn. This gave Gina the freedom to do pretty much whatever she wanted. As long as she didn't come home pregnant her parents didn't care. That's how one day when sneaking off to a party she met Niccolo Delluccii. He was tall, tan and handsome. Gina already knew that he was the son of the most powerful mafia leader in the world and that he the second born due to her father's illegal career.
The two were almost inseparable for a month before Stephan found out. That's when he decided that Gina was of some importance to him. However it was not Niccolo that he wanted for her. He wanted Antonio, the oldest Delluccii for his daughter. Stephan didn't care that his daughter was already deeply in love with Niccolo. He didn't really give a fuck about his daughters happiness. Stephan just wanted two things in life. Money and power. He was already the biggest arms dealer in America, but he wanted more. Stephan saw marrying his daughter off as the only way to get that power he was seeking.
Little did Stephan know, Antonio was already married in secret. She was a southern Belle from Georgia names Charlotte. They had a child and were living a happy secret life, till one day Antonio was followed home and his house was shot up while his son was in the front yard. He was only two years old. With that incident being the straw that broke the camels back, Antonio gave up the throne to his brother not having the heart to take over.
So Gina was allowed to marry Niccolo, but it did not work out in Stephan's favor like he thought. The Dellucciis knew all about Stephan's treatment of his daughter and disapproved. When Niccolo took over the first thing he did was blacklist Stephan. He then went to Donna and asked her of she wanted to have a relationship with her daughter. She said yes and agrees to go to rehab.
After that Gina and her mother have a wonderful relationship and Niccolo and her had a wonderful marriage, going on to have three children; Jason, Damien and Isabella. Gina gave them all the love in the world, and was very protective of her children. So when her oldest son told her that he had a child that he didn't know about and that he was planning on marrying the girl, alarm bells went off in her head. She didn't know this girl from a can of paint. She could be anybody. She could be after her son's money and status. Maybe she shouldn't have insulted the girl, and should've handle the situation in a different way. However she saw the way that the couple looked after each other. Jason looked at her like she was the only girl in the world. Tiana looked at him with so much love, it made Gina happy. She saw how her son was ready to protect her with his whole being.
So her she stood outside the salon, debating if she should walk in or not.
Finally gathering the courage, she walked into the salon. She was immediately greeted by a middle aged women with blonde hair, that Gina was sure she wasn't born with.
"Hello my name is Janet, I'm the owner how may I help you?" Janet asked with a professional smile.
"I'm looking for Tiana Williams." Gina replied.
"She's with a client right now, can you wait in that over there, and I'll let her know you're here." Janet said, gesturing towards the waiting area.
