GISELLA

"Sorry, Gisella," Pietro said with a face of concern mixed with embarrassment, and then, he nodded to Alessandro and Zeta, and with one last glance at me, he turned and walked away. My heartfelt like it would explode. I hold the chair tightly to comfort myself.

Pietro... I miss you.

I turned around and felt bad looking at Signore Nicolo, who was busy eating with the help of Zeta. With a quick bow. "I'm sorry just now, Maltida..." I pause my verdict as Signore Nicolo whines.

"I've told you before that in my mind and heart, they are nothing ." he voiced out.

Instantly, I remembered when he said it, and he said that in his darkness, they are nothing, in his thoughts, they are worthless, that It is only his wife, which is me. I felt speechless looking at him.

I fake a smile with my hand reaching to my backhead. "I'm... I'm so hungry... let's eat now!"

*
It was dark and late already. Alessandro pulled the car with a stop in the front of Signore Nicolo Mansion, and he gestured to Gisella with a hand to go in. Zeta carried Signore's cloak as Alessandro locked the door and helped Signore Nicolo inside.

"Signorino, Do you need me to handle today's matter?" Alessandro questions him with worries glued to his voice.

"No need." he frowns.

-FLASHBACK - SIXTEEN YEARS AGO-

Nicolo was reading the business contract his father sent from the company. He was at home trying to reconstruct the contract. He was only 16 years of age, but he already knew the rules and policy. Also, taking responsibility for the smaller companies with the help of Lorenzo and Diego anytime his father travels. He goes to Interviews and talk shows at a very young age. He used to be a proud person.

Alessandro has always been with him since he was 14 years old till date. Suppose it weren't for the fire accident. After Signora Alessia rescued her son, she and Nicolo were carried to the hospital. Since then, news spread out that he traveled out to France, but he grew up without the media or the company, but he works indoor on projects and tenders. he has been around and indoors until the press and the world gradually forgot him. -END OF FLASHBACK-

"Signore, I'm sorry about what happened sixteen years ago..." Alessandro's voice was filled with sadness.

"Enough, I know what I'm doing, just do what's the need to be done!" he gave in a sly smile.

Alessandro smile. "Yes, Signorino." and he nods as he helps him sit on his bed.

GISELLA'S ROOM

I was busy typing on my laptop when the door opened, and I turned around with a smile. "Signore Nicolo?"

With a sniff. "No, Mia Signora, It's me, Alessandro," he said nervously. "Um, next time maybe..." he added as he snaked his neck away from the door and was about to close it.

I Smiled at him. "Next time, we won't eat out anymore, don't worry."

he smiles. "Grazie, Mia Signora." then I closed the door to my room.

RING !! RING!! RING

"Hello!" I frown as a reminder hits me.

"Hello, Gisella Molinero. Let's talk about what happened today!" Viola speaks from the phone with the evidence of seriousness in it.
