Falling For The Blind Billionaire (Book 1)

Chapter 28: The Uncoil

GISELLA

The drive to Vecchio maestro Guiseppe Mansion was a bit tiring. "Honey, why are we here instead of your stepmother's house?" I asked confusedly.

He smiles lightly at me. "My dear, Papa told me that he's back this morning and Signora Ludovia and Lorenzo are there. So, I'll see my Papa in the first building, The house help and Zeta will follow you to meet them in the second building," he points at a grey building closer to the first building. I sighed as he got down from the car and then Alessandro droved further.

Zeta opened the gate and gestured me to go in. "You're here Mia Signora, Signora Ludovia is here," the house help says with a bright smile.

Immediately I entered the sitting room, my eyes landed on angry faces. Is this the Signora Ludovia and Lorenzo? Lorenzo looks way different from Nicolo and Diego, he is smaller in stature and a bit older than them but Nicolo is the eldest and the way Signora Ludovia is looking at me right now, it's like she wants to rip me apart from interrupting their conversation. I became speechless looking at both of them.

The house help who was standing beside Zeta was a bit frightened due to her facial expression. "Signora, Signor Caruso has been called by Signor Guiseppe at the first building. This is Signora Gisella," she announced.

She then whispered to me. "She has been outside the country with her son, that's why she didn't attend your wedding ceremony,"

I fidget. "Buongiorno mamma,"

Her frown tightened, she folds her arm around her chest. "Really? Is that how to greet your mother inlaw? you're the girl my son got married to?" She gave in a soft laugh which I know is not a good one. "He's blinded anyway,  I don't expect much from him,"

My body became heavy.  She didn't even know that my husband can see? she is really what I expected, Grumpy woman. How dare she speaks ill of my husband?

She smiles lightly at me once more. "I didn't arrive back to see you, do I have to inform you deliberately just because I want to see my son? or, you ain't happy to see me?"

She is really not a good person, now I know why Nicolo doesn't fancy her. "Mamma, I didn't mean-"

My word was head short by Lorenzo. "Mamma, is this the woman that brother Nicolo got married to?" he furrows his thick eyebrows. "Shes's not pretty as, Talia," he groans.

Immediately Signora Ludovia frowns at him anxiously. "Enzo, don't talk about the past.,"

he rolls his eyes. "Ok ma, I know"

Talia? who is she? and what is her story with my husband? I think.

My mind conversation was interrupted by the grumpy Mrs. Caruso. "I came here because my husband pleaded with me to come and see you two. So, today just to see if you've made any progress since you married my blind son. unexpectedly, you still let me down," she sounds unhappy.

I sniff. "Mamma, You're right,"

"Don't call me mamma, I ain't your mother," she jerks her self angrily.

Lorenzo grimaced, as his well-polished English spouts. "Mamma, I don't think that she deserves my brother. She sounds rude,"

Zeta interrupted. "Signora, she is not like that, Mrs. Gisella is a very nice, naive and wonderful person. she has done a lot for Signorino since their marriage. Signor has regai-"

Lorenzo's face was immediately raddled. "Who do you think you are to talk to me? a mare eye to my blind brother? a servant?"

Zeta's face raddles. "My apology's, Signore,"

I felt like slapping Lorenzo very hard across that spoilt brat face, but I can't argue with him. They are both getting to my angry peak and I wish Nicolo can just come and stop this rubbish.

With a crack on the door, we all turn to see my husband standing right in the exit with Alessandro by his side holding some files on his arm. Lorenzo's angry face was quickly replaced with a happy grin. "Elder Brother!" he yells happily, then frowns. "I wish that you can see how grown up and handsome I am right now. Did you even know that your wife was rude to us because mother was trying to teach her something that she can help you with since you can't see, "

Nicolo's face radiate. "What's going on?" he stares at me.

Lorenzo explains. "Well, elder brother!  We arrived not quite long and mother said that we should see Papa and call for you and your wife, but it seems that my sister in law don't fancy our presence,"

Goodness lord! I can't believe what he is saying right now, Me? he is a lying nuisance. Now, Nicolo is going to get furious even though he doesn't like his stepmom, I know he cares for Lorenzo.

My judgment was wrong. "I mean, My wife. are you okay?" His voice came out raspy.

I smiled. "I'm fine, Mi Tesoro," I look at the flaming face Lorenzo and his groaning stepmom.

Nicolo looks at his stepmom. "What brings you back from the states?"

It has been more than fifteen years and he still refuses to call me mother? Did he by any chance found out about what I did? and why is his sight so sharp? she thinks.

Lorenzo ravels on his mind but with a bright deceiving smile. "Brother, I've seen you for a long time, let me be your eye for today and accompany you to the garden,"

Nicolo grimaced. "NO, thanks to you Enzo, I can walk on my own. I can do everything on my own now, all thanks to my wife here. So come on, what are you two back for?"

I felt my heart melt. Looking at the grumpy man I once knew, he gave me all these praises in the presence of his stepmom and brother.

Lorenzo and Signora Ludovia flinched with horror stitched to there confused faces. " You...you can see now?" with wide eyes she fidgeted. "Alright, thats a good sign," she smiles as if not interested in hearing that Nicolo has regained his sight. Enzo was still in shock looking at his mother.

"Well, that means your father will transfer all the assets that on Lorenzo's name to yours now? And at the same time,I'm sure that you feel so overwhelmed to see again and get back all the property. Diego is leaving well, all thanks to your love and care for him. How about Lorenzo? he has nothing except for the company in the states and I want him to stay around you for the time being. I've spoken to your father, he has no comments, what do you think?"

"What do I think?" his manly Italian accent groans. "At my father's place,it's still not up to him to make comment. If he wants to give all his assets to Lorenzo or Diego, He can go ahead and do so because I am not living on his asset and wealth, I am living on the wealth of my hard work and my Mother inheritance."

Lorenzo whimpered like a child. "Elder brother, just let me stay beside you for the time being. I know you love Diego more than me that you even gave him half of your property that father gave in your name,"

Signora Ludovia sniffs with a concerned face. "Well, it's all my fault," she pretends a cry. "Since your brother is unwilling to share with you and help you, let's go," Lorenzo's face turns to a crying face. They walk out.
