Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1)

Chapter 21: The double-truth

The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed. -Charlotte Bronte

The capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to these teachers. -Harvey Cushing

GISELLA [UNEDITED!!!]

We arrived in Rome by plane. I was wondering why he took me here. Immediately we step out from the plane, I look at Alessandro and Zeta who was just looking so sad. "Where are we going from here?" I furrowed my confused eyebrow, still not taking my eyes from Zeta and Alessandro.

"To visit my Mama," he says sadly. "I think she'll be happy to see you," he added frankly.

Nicolo's mother is dead, Is he talking about Signora Ludovia? I thought. "but...but I did not prepare to see her today," I fidgeted.

He smiles. "No need to be scared, Gisella, she is not the person whom you're thinking about." He added with a light smile. He just doesn't know how handsome he is when he smiles.

I was immediately stunned when he held my hand. A car drives in and Alessandro took over from the driver, the car was written in the plate number CARUSO. I guess they have a branch here too or something else. Alessandro drives away.

A few minutes later, we arrived at a very big Villa but Alessandro drove to the garden of the Villa and stops. "Signorino, we're here," Alessandro says sadly.

I help him out of the car. "Where is this place?" I ask wondering.

"This is the Villa where my mama passed away, so I refurnished it. My Mama got into an accident when I was young, and that accident took her away from me." He sniffs but still trying very hard to be cold and grumpy.

I felt cold sip into my heart as I remembered the story my mama told me about his family before our wedding. "It is ok, don't be sad," I say, trying to calm him. He is actually very sad.

We were standing in front of her grave, she really looks pretty and his real resemblance is from his mama. He kneels down and folds his hands together and closed his eyes. I was just fascinated by his actions.

Then he started talking."Mama, this is Gisella Molinero, My wife," he says. This time his voice is calm and honest.

I felt my heartbeat accelerate as I open my eyes to look at him, he is really handsome. "Mama," I say. "I'm happy that you gave birth to such an amazing son," I added. "Thank you, Mama."

"Mama, this is my wife I chose, she is nice," He whispers. Nicolo looks at Gisella who was busy praying. "I don't want her to leave my side for a second. I don't want to be ever separated from her even though I know that I lied and cheated her of the truth," he whispers again looking at Gisella hoping to God she didn't hear him pour out his heart.

He gazes at her one more time. I don't understand you at first thinking that you're complicated and fed up with life, but now I do understand how nice and naive you are. He thought.

.

We arrived at a hotel, I wonder why he decided we stay in a hotel instead of the villa. Well maybe he is just respecting the fact that he lost his Mama there and decided to refurnish it and keep it guard, I respect that but spending such money for all four of us is like spending my salary of a year and two months in just one day, how about the whole week? that is my salary for three years, can we just go to a motel, a cheaper one. I thought to feel petty.
