Chapter 4: The deal

Start from the beginning
                                    

"He doesn't remember, not with the chance of my surname because then I was using my family name, Giada De Luca, now is Giada Molinero, and do you know who started the fire?"

Immediately, I felt nervousness spread through my body. I felt my papà signaled my mamma with his foot.

"Who started the fire?" I tensed.

"You don't have to think about this now, Mia Cara, and your wedding gown are lying straight on your bed. Go and check it out." My papà distracted, and I know that they're both hiding something from me.

"Just think about it tonight, Mia Cara, the wedding arrangement has been prepared, the Caruso's are working on it, and also it's a small arrangement, you should check your gown out, it is superb." my mamma said with a reassigned smile.

Signore Nicolo must be blind, but he is a fine man, but my heart is still with Pietro Santoro.

"Ok, mamma, I'll get married to him no need to think, I'll do this for us because I don't like him and he's not my kind of man, the marriage is just a deal to save your business and my life, right?"

"Yes, my dear, Oh my God... thank you very much, Gisella." she hugged me again. My papà was smiling, feeling exciting as amusement dance in sparkles in his eyes.

Nicolo Caruso's POV

I snorted, laughing at the idea of me getting married tomorrow. "What made you pick her as my bride papà? I might be blind, but I am not thinking about getting married now, and if I want a bride, I would have selected her myself."

"You're already thirty-two, Figlio." my papà pointed out flatly. "I married your late mother at an early age. I should say it's high time for you to settle down."

"I'm not interested now in getting married, papà, and you know that." Now I am stuck here with my father in his bedroom babbling things that I am not interested in, and I should have moved straight to my Villa. He was the one who called me over anyway.

"Common Figlio, Just fulfill your Madre last wish." he smiled heartily.

"papà, I am not interested in marriage," I repeated to him arrogantly. "Why her? papà, Why the young Signorina? I know that you threatened her family because her mother can't just give her daughter out to a blind uomo who she didn't even know properly, and getting married tomorrow? that is too much.

" I knew that we would get to the conclusion of stopping the marriage tonight before tomorrow, so I had to act more arrogantly with him to surrender and save Signorina Molinero from marrying who she didn't love but not less alone for her to get married to a truffare."

"Amico, I chose her for you for a reason I know you don't know how she looks like, and I know that you don't like her, left alone love her, she's a simple middle-class girl, and I am glad that Vincenzo Santoro reprimanded her for you instead of that unfaithful Viola Moretti, Gisella is from a nice home and do you know the most amazing thing? I knew her mother from before. That's while I threatened her to give her daughter to you as your bride." I can feel him smile.

"Vincenzo Santoro? is he not the father of Pietro Santoro?" with a frown, I ask.

"Sì, Ragazzo Mio," he replies, then I gave in a quick nod. Now I understand everything, what they did, Viola and Pietro.

"Then what will be my profit if I get married to the Molinero's only child? What is in for me? You know it has to be a deal, and I know there is something in for you, papa. I know you very well, I might be blind, but I am not Diego or Lorenzo. So you should tell me about the plan."

I felt him held a private smile that made me frowned as he placed his hand on my shoulders.

"You are my Figlio, the true son to Général Giuseppe Caruso, well the deal is that I want you to get married to Giada's daughter and use her as an esca to make her parents confess something which only matters to me, you see, that is the only way to make her confess to me because she is a strong woman and will do anything for her daughter, you can't fall for her, then after that, I'll fly you abroad for eye surgery and also then, you'll come back into the spotlight, the companies need you, Lorenzo can't seem to handle it alone, I need you to make it happen because I can't wait to fulfill your mamma last wish." he exhales.

"What last wish? And what does her mamma knows? Why use the daughter as an esca? how are you related to her in the past, papa?" I seem to have a lot of unanswered questions, why must I ruin and betray her like that? For the little time that I've been with Gisella, she seems to be a nice girl who is passing through a lot already. But what else can I do? It's a great offer, and I want my eyesight back. I will love to see how she looks like."

"You don't have to know that Figlio, the part of your deal is just to get married to her, immediately I get hold of what I want, it's not going to be a real marriage to you, but to others it is, but to you and I, it's just a deal. Don't you want to see the world again? I guess you do, stick to the plan and get ready for the marriage tomorrow,"

I sighed. "Deal?" he questions.

"Affair!" I reply.
