Nathan wondered if Sebastian hit his head and lost his mind when he fell because why else would he be talking about wanting him to marry Gianni? It never crossed his mind that he would ask him for something like that, marrying Gianni never crossed his mind because he knew if he ever married Gianni., it would create attention that he wasn’t sure he was ready for because she used to be married to his dad even though the marriage was only on paper, no one else knew that and people won’t even want to believe it. He loves Gianni but marrying her felt like some impossible shits. “Dad? Did you hit your head when you fell down? Why would you want me to marry your ex-wife?” Nathan questioned. He really didn’t like addressing Gia as Sebastian’s ex-wife. “Our marriage was only on paper and you both get along pretty well. I thought you loved her,”“I do, okay? I am not going to deny that fact but I never thought of marrying her, not even to date her. All I want is for us to be on good terms ag
“So, you made up your mind to set your son up with a woman you were previously married to? Do you know how that would sound like if people find out which they would,”Nathan let out. “Yes, people would know but what has that gotten to do with us? Do you let other people's opinions determine how you live your life? If you do then you have to unlearn that, it is not a very healthy way of living your life,”Now he was giving him advice. “That’s not the whole point and you know it. It’s just not fair that you are holding something you know should be mine over my head and making it some sort of deal. I don’t like it at all. Me and Gianni should be able to make our own decisions, Dad,”“I know, you can make your decision about other things but not this. I want a partner I know that I can trust for you and Gianni is the only one I can think of,”He responded. “What if Gianni doesn’t want this? Would you want me to force her to marry me or something? Think about it,”Nathan persuaded. “I
There was no talking Sebastian out of the decision he already made and that’s why a week after the conversation happened, Nathan boarded the private jet for the first time in his life. He still thought asking him to marry Gianni and bring her to the family or risk his inheritance was a crazy thing to do but he had no choice when Sebastian had turned it into something like his dying wish even though he wasn’t dying. He got better by the day and he was back to his old self before the confrontation between him and Pedro. He was back to being his sister's favorite playmatePedro, the madman, crawled into some kind of hole because Nathan expected him to show his face at the office or the mansion but he never showed up. In fact, he hasn’t heard from him since the day he sent him out of the mansion and Nathan hoped he finally realized he didn’t have a place in the Ulmer family and would finally stay away and focus on rebuilding his business. If that were the case then Nathan would be willing
He woke up the next morning not feeling good. He was jet-lagged and the sleep he got didn’t help refresh him. He knew he couldn’t face Gianni not looking his best so he decided to postpone meeting up with her until he got over the stress of his long trip. He spent the whole of the day catching up on sleep and also did a little swimming and workout later that evening. By the end of that day, he felt a little refreshed and ready to meet Gianni. He got a message from his dad earlier that he informed Gianni’s dad that his son would be coming over so they were expecting him but Gianni wasn’t aware that he was coming over. At least they won’t shoot him on-site. He hoped the meet-up would go well and that Gia would talk to him and hear him out. He checked his phone before he went to sleep to make sure he didn’t miss any important mail and that’s when he saw a mail that was kind of off, he opened it and immediately knew who the mail could be from. Only one person would have gotten his mail r
Gianni walked out of her room, going downstairs to get a pack of water as there was none left in her room. She looked around, wondering what was going on and why there were so many workers in the main house at the same time. “Hey, what’s going on? Are we expecting a guest?”She questioned. She knew they only worked in numbers like this when they were expecting some important guests and as far as she knew, no one told her anyone was coming. Not like she would have cared. The least she would do if some guest showed up was say hi and then spend the rest of the day in her room. She has been doing it a lot since she moved back to Italy. For some reason, her family thought she made a mistake by just leaving. Not like she cared what they thought. She was grown enough to know what to do with her life and she told them just as much. Aside from them disagreeing with her methods, they were pretty chill with her, especially her mom who got to work immediately trying to set her up with very suit
Nathan looked out of the window of the car that he was in. He was finally meeting with Gianni and her family today and hell, he wasn’t feeling so confident right now. His thoughts were all over the place and he was having a hard time thinking about what he would say when he met her again. Last night, he had thought about what he would say to her and this morning as he got dressed, he also did some form of rehearsal but as the car sped off towards the direction of her family mansion. Everything he rehearsed flew off his head. He couldn’t back out and tell the driver to take him back to the residence that he had been staying in because that would be disrespectful to Gianni’s parents since they were aware that he was coming over. He didn’t want the first impression of him to be someone who couldn’t keep his promise. “We have arrived,”The driver announced. Nathan was in awe. The entrance of the property was huge and screamed old money. Why did someone like Gianni whose family comes fro
Nathan walked nervously towards the couple, trying to grasp their mood and know if they were welcoming or not. Gianni’s mom had a bright smile on and her expression was soft and motherly, her dad didn’t look scary like he had expected because of everything he had read about her family and just how much power they had in Italy. In fact, the old man was smiling when he got close to them. “Good day sir, ma’am,”Nathan greeted politely while bowing slightly. “Hello, welcome son, we have been expecting you,”Gianni's father said in response to his greetings. “I got this,”He said and handed the bottle of wine to the father and the flower he got to Gianni’s mom who accepted it with a smile. She smelled the flower and clearly approved of it because she nodded and smiled at him. “Welcome to our house, son, please come in, we have been expecting you,”She said and reached for his hand which he gladly gave. He felt relief that her parents were at least welcoming. Maybe they didn’t know what
“Hi, Gia,”Nathan said. he wasn’t sure what else to say and there was silence in the room. He couldn’t look away from Gianni and she was staring directly into his eyes too, probably expecting him to say something but he couldn’t get any other words out and it was like she didn’t even hear his ‘hi’ or she chose to ignore it. She was wearing an oversized polo and a pair of skinny jeans, it was a basic outfit but she managed to make it look elegant. He hair was held up in a messy bun and she didn’t have any makeup on but that didn’t make her any less beautiful and breath-taking. If he wasn’t so consumed with nervousness, he might have actually started drooling. His eyes met hers again and for a moment he thought he saw longing in her eyes but it was gone in the next moment he concluded he must have imagined it because why would Gianni long for him? She might not hate him right now but she definitely does not like him either so the yawning he saw in her eyes was him projecting his feeling
