Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1)

Chapter 1: The Betray

Gisella's POV

Waking up with the ray of light overwhelming me through my pink curtains, I turn over to see my parents standing right in front of me with worries glued to their faces. By this, I jumped up from the bed.

"Mama, Papà, what is the problem? Why are you two In my room so early in the morning? " I grimaced.

"We have to talk to you about something important, Principessa, and we hope you'll try to understand what we're about to tell you." my papà utters.

I balanced myself correctly by resting my back on the wooden bed shelf. 

"OK, what is it? Tell me. I won't budge." I kept smiling even though my parents were serious about what they were about to tell me.

"Are you sure of it, my little Principessa? " my papà questioned me with a specific justification in his tone.

"I promise, okay, so throw it on me now. I'll manage." I winked at them playfully.

"Mia Cara, Gisella, I'm sorry to say, but we have arranged a marriage for you. " with face down, he kept quiet.

I burst out with a face of laughter. "And who is this lucky man? Can he handle my personality? " I laugh out jokingly, but I notice they didn't twitch.

"It's Giuseppe Caruso's son! " my mama exhausts her breath.

My face couldn't take the word away. "Uh? What did you say? It's a joke. About arranging a marriage for me and one of the Caruso sons, which of the son are you inferring? Lorenzo? Diego?" I interrogate them angrily.

They both stare at each other and back at me. "It's none of the sons you've just called."

"Mama, then who? " Now I'm getting frantic because they know I have someone in my life already.

"Mia Cara, they have another Figlio hidden from spotlights, Nicolo Caruso." they stop and gaze at me.

"Nicolo Caruso?" I spat with an unamused face. "I don't even know him at all."

"Yes, my dear, you might never hear much about him or hear about him because he's blind, and his parents took him out of the spotlight. He's the eldest of the Caruso's son. " my mama added.

"What? Am I a joke? Why must I get married to a Joke? A blind Caruso? Never! - Over my dead body, mama, I rather bleed to death than becoming Mrs. Caruso, not even just Mrs. Caruso but a wife to a blind bat." I jump down from the bed, putting on my clothes furiously with anger in my spirit.

"Mama, papà, I'm sorry, but whatever made you think this way about getting me married to a blind bat, I don't care, for Chrissake I'm 27 years old I'm in a serious relationship, what do you want me to tell Pietro? That I'm leaving him for a blind billionaire son? "

"Oh, dear, you won't understand, but you've to grant us this last wish, please, Gisella, " my Mama's words were in between tears.

"I can't grant you that, mama, first of all, I quit my job as a publisher because you two wanted me to look for a better job, I left my dreams for yours, I got all my degrees in business because you want me to, I stay in your apartment because you said you don't want me to leave you, did you ever think about what others are saying? Now you want me to go away from Pietro Santoro to a blind billionaire heir.

I don't know what has gotten into both of you, "and I'm sorry I can't grant you that one wish, mama, never!" I fidget between tears.

I stomped my feet hard to the floor about exiting my bedroom door. "If you don't get married to Nicolo Caruso, I'll kill myself." my mama yelled.
