Impossible Love

Impossible Love 50

Maxieplus

He was stunned for a while this shit is getting very serious and he has to get onto Tinker and order more wine. As I said I don't know the process of making it but I'm sure the winery is going to be extremely busy. I did think about looking around for a vineyard here so he can do his own, but by the looks of it unless he starts one up he may not be able to replicate the Cartasso process. Maybe a big talk to Iris will help.

Matteo was eager to go and talk to the guys again and I didn't like to tell him they were all cruising him and all they wanted was to fuck him. I had entered Gianni's order and closed up the computer. I know they aren't Cal's friends they haven't been back, but I still worried about Matteo. I devised a plan and wondered if Angelo would help me, he was sitting at a back table and I told him my plan he grinned and said to leave it up to him.

I went back and now Gianni was in the mix again so I glared at him just as Angelo came out in his little sexy shorts. He went up to Matteo and kissed his cheek and said.

"Did you forget our luncheon date baby?" You could have knocked everyone over with a feather the place went silent even Stavros looked up.

"Uh um, what lunch date?"

"The one we are about to have, thanks for entertaining my boyfriend fellas, I'll take it from here." He grabbed Matteo's arm and moved him into the restaurant I nearly fell off my chair rushing to get to the florist shop, as soon as I got through the door I let out the biggest belly laugh I think I've ever had. Gianni was still standing there he didn't know what to say, and he was looking around for me. I couldn't help myself I couldn't stop laughing at his face and Matteo's when Angelo kissed him.

After a few minutes and some stares from Alice, I emerged and patted Stavros on the shoulder and said.

"It's okay it was a setup."

"Nothing would surprise me Antonio, that nephew has some crazy ideas sometimes. By the way, I believe you have bought another property?"

"Yes Stavros, in my apartment block, how did you know?"

"A little grandfather told me when we had coffee this morning."

"But he's at my place." He winked.

"It's very nice Antonio, I love the umbrellas and I love doing business in your house." He winked again.

I don't care, I don't care. I guess grandad is using my place for an office now I wonder if he will pay me some rent.

I looked into the restaurant and Matteo was having wine with Angelo, he was talking and Matteo was listening. The gay guys had settled down and Gianni was back behind his counter. I grabbed the laptop and went to show him the order, he can go over it to see if I have done it right.

"Where did you go Antonio?"

"Into talk with Alice baby, did you miss me?"

"Yes, I was going to call the police."

"No need baby I am always near, did you enjoy your new friends?"

"Yes they are very nice men, what happened to Matteo?"

"He went to have lunch with Angelo."

"Is he cruising him?"

"No, I asked Angelo to intervene because I don't know those guys and all they wanted was to get into Matteo and your pants."

"They were very nice Antonio" He winked at me, I went to find a wine.

"Just joking with you Antonio." His goofy face popped into the back room just as I sat with the boys.

He kissed me and had a wine also, I explained that I didn't know the guys they could have been anyone and I wasn't comfortable that Matteo was unknowingly giving them a decent look at his body because their eyes were all over him.

"But he wants to meet our gays."

"Not the ones that treat him like a side of beef Gianni, we have talked about this before. He wants someone solid not a quick pull in the bushes."

"I wouldn't mind a pull under the table Antonio."

"I know, but your different, you know who you can trust but Matteo doesn't."

"I think someone's jealous." Leon stared at me.

"Shut up Leon." Carlos slapped him.

I skulled the wine poured another one and went to talk to some gay boys. I will show him how it's done. He let me get away with the bum show and tit teasing but when I bought them champagne he drew the line, and I was hauled off into the staff toilets.

Matteo was back with the boys when I appeared, Gianni checked the shop and I asked Matteo if he enjoyed his lunch date.

"It was very nice Antonio, we are going out tonight he is picking me up at eight, will I be safe?"

I stared at him once again threw my arms in the air and screamed.

"I give up. I fucking give up." Then I went to see Sabine, she shooed me out of her shop, so I made up three bouquets as the whole four of them stood out the front laughing at me. I did what all good teasers do. I dropped my shorts turned around and mooned them. They freaked and ran in all directions I went back to my work and smiled at a very shocked customer.

"Oh my, I will just have that Bianca thank you." She pointed to me.

We left the shop to go to the hospital, I had more flowers and I didn't succumb to their teasing because I wanted to see little Sam. Gran and grandad with Lukas were there and after I kissed everyone I was handed baby. I told Gino we would have a very flavorsome meal for him tonight and I looked at gran she stood up straight and winked at me.

Anna looked a lot better and the little one was restless so I passed him to Gino and he settled down.

She will be coming home tomorrow apparently, they shove the mothers through nowadays but she has to rest when she gets there. Gran said she would be over to help her and I wasn't surprised at all that Gino accepted her aid.

We got in an hour later and Lukas was changed and placed in his favorite spot, I looked at Matteo he smiled.

"Can you help me pick out an outfit for tonight Antonio?" He laughed.

"Don't bleed it brother in law." I wasn't mad I just wanted to forget the whole episode.

I grabbed the bottle off Leon and poured myself a drink then sat at the computer. No emails out of the ordinary so I told Gianni he could check his and Matteo checked his also. Dinner tonight was pizza, they looked delicious it's been a while since I have had one.

There were five so I got another four out to defrost just in case the kids came up. They aren't very big just medium size. I cleared away the table and put the title of the apartment Sabine had handed me the other day into our hidey-hole safe and sound, she said something about it being my wedding present. I already knew they were picking up the tab on the new apartment.

Most everyone was there tonight Federico was still at work, and Sabine and Tony were having dinner with Iris. The kids came down but they had a bottle of coke in hand, I think Tommaso doesn't want a vino tonight. The kids bought the biscuits and cheese again and I told them it's pizza for dinner. They were very happy and a little hungry I think. I gave them the code to the lift and told them to help themselves if and when they got hungry. I had a few and was a little bit tipsy but when Gino arrived I stopped because he had to be fed and I had to be on top of it. I could rely on the boys to warm it up but I didn't want to, because it's my home and I should be a good host, yeah right. I will do it because it saves listening to their moaning.

Gianni started talking about babies and I talked to Alice about work, she handed me the bag and I took the cash and handed it back to her, Matteo was watching me and I said.

"What the taxman doesn't know won't hurt him."

I felt a chill and because I only had my tank top on I said my goodnights and took Lukas upstairs and I was followed by the kids. I lit the oven and put a warm top on Lukas, it had turned chilly all of a sudden. The kids were enjoying their first slice when the others arrived minus Alice.

"She could have come there's plenty."

"She had to get back home to close her windows."

"There's a storm on the horizon Antonio, we had better stack the furniture into its storage box," Gianni said as the boys went to do their balcony. The kids from downstairs haven't got anything yet and I thought that I may buy them some for a housewarming present.

As we sat at the table we could see it coming, dark clouds and some lightning, I hope it passes quickly. The good thing was when I heard the thunder I had time to pick Lukas up and hold him. The pizzas disappeared and there were a lot of satisfied men at the table I made sure they messaged gran to thank her, which will put a smile on her face.

At around eight Matteo came out all dressed up and he smelt wonderful, I have to ask him what aftershave he uses.

"He will be here soon."

"Is he coming up or are you meeting him on the street?" Maxie asked.

"I will go down he will ring when he's here." I didn't care I already know that Angelo's taking him to a club so they can let their hair down a bit, Carlos whispered it to me when we got home.

"Well enjoy your night Matteo don't be late," I said.

"Do you want to come Antonio?"

"No thanks it looks like this rain is settling in I need to be with Lukas he may get scared, he hasn't seen a big storm before."

His phone beeped and he kissed me and left.

"We got you good today Antonio." Gianni laughed. I smiled because they did get me good.

I am being agreeable tonight, nothing they could say will make me play their game so I agreed with everything. It made for a pretty boring night when Gino and the kids went home. The boys decided to sleep in their room and I kept Lukas near just in case.

Seven in the bed in the morning, I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened them and there was Angelo's angelic face next to mine, I also felt a boner downstairs. Matteo was parked up against his ass and I used a wish that Angelo would turn around and butt up to me. They have done this deliberately so I checked my baby he was sound asleep on Gianni's chest then I moved down the bed and bobbed my head up and down.

"Antonio?" I heard Gianni moan.

"Just having some fun with you husband." I then threw the blankets back Angelo was stiff as a board and I took myself out to put the coffee on. I cleaned up the kitchen and waited for the men to arrive. I wanted to linger some more but I saw enough, from my side I felt that Angelo's member wasn't that long but it was very very thick.

The sky was clear and the storm had passed in the night, everything looked clean and crisp. The day will be cool typical Melbourne weather, it will get hot after lunch. Matteo came out followed by Angelo and Gianni, the other two will sleep a bit longer.

"Did you have a good night guys?"

"Yes Antonio, we did the clubs, even called into the gay one to catch the show it was funny."

"Good."

"Can I have a quick shower Antonio, I need to be at work early?"

"Sure Angelo go for it."

He winked and went to wash his perfect body. Gianni had Lukas he was moaning about something so I turned the TV on then he quietened down.

"That order you got yesterday, will it be too much for the Cartasso winery to do?"

"Yes Antonio, Tinker has alerted the sister winery that big orders will be coming their way."

"What sister winery?"

"In the next valley, there are wineries all over Italy the quality is the same and if we can give them some business we will. They will do much of the order and be paid well for it Antonio."

"So you don't think you will buy one here to do it all then?"

"No, it won't be the same and it won't be imported then it will lose some of its glamor's." He knows what he's doing I only know blooms and should stick to what I know.

Angelo came out dressed in his jeans and t-shirt and had a coffee they joked and laughed about last night then he had to go.

"Thanks for putting me up Antonio it was fun." He kissed my cheek.

"Any time baby." And I prayed there would be a next time.

The two boys came out showered and dressed for their day and I went to do the same. I needed to get off and quick and when Gianni crept in with me, it was no holds barred.

There was no breakfast when I arrived back so I said.

"You could have at least made some toast for your nephew."

"We did Antonio." I looked over at Lukas he did have some toast in front of him.

"Okay I'm eating at Angelo's this morning."

I made a decision to eat there because we were running a little behind time. I will grab a bacon and egg roll from his quick grab counter.

I ate my breakfast roll and had coffee, the kids were in and we had a few early morning customers. Sabine had a coffee with me and she has decided to move in with Tony. I was very pleased for her, and Iris also, she needs the company. Nina came by to herd up the boys they have a meeting this morning so they left with her and Gianni cleaned up the empties and boxes for a change. Gino came by and borrowed the van to get his family home from the hospital, we said we would run home it wasn't a problem.

Alice had Lukas and I was left sitting on my own when Sabine opened up shop, so I thought I will have another coffee. It was a pleasant morning everyone stayed away from me, I caught Gianni taking glances but he didn't come near me. I guess they all thought I might need a rest today or they thought I may have retaliation on my mind. Whatever they thought I didn't have any plans to get back at them because I loved them all and I felt blessed they were all in my life. If you wade through their childish games you will find a good bunch of guys, so my morning was spent helping out with the tables and making coffee. The fact I had the tiniest pair of shorts I could find on and a ripped tank top that showed my chest to perfection didn't even bother them, it was what I was going to do with that look that worried them.

"Antonio can you change please?" Gianni said.

"No baby, I like this look."

"Oh, it's a bit revealing can you please change?"

"Nope I like the look, it will bring in more customers."

"Antonio! change now!" he shouted.

"Okay keep your shirt on geez a guy can't have any fun around here anymore." I winked at him then went to change.

Dave came by he was telling me he was dropping off a quote for the plumbing of the new shops, his smile was gorgeous as he thanked me many times.

"Your family that's what we do. Did you count up the gift cards?"

"Yes Antonio, over three grand was dropped into the pot."

"Good, that will buy him a couple of display cabinets at least."

"I am going to look at a couple from a defunct café tomorrow they are going cheap. Ones working ones not, but I reckon I can fix it."

"Great are they the size he will need?"

"Yes perfect, he will need a table and a cool room but I have my eyes out for them."

He finished his coffee and went to see Nina about a job I cleaned some tables and then I was summoned out the back by Gianni.

Matteo was sitting there eating a very nice looking cake, and Gianni dragged me into the bathroom, he was all over me then he whispered.

"Can you wear those shorts tonight?"

"Sure can, what do you have in mind?"

"You will see."

He then opened the door gave me one more kiss and left me hanging. Matteo was laughing with him when I came out so I went and got myself a cake and ate it out the front.

The boys were back and they pulled out the chairs next to me and ordered a wine.

"This is too hard Antonio, she's going overboard up there and we don't understand what she's trying to do."

"Boys you are event organizers you have worked all over the world and you can't understand what your manager is doing, something is seriously wrong here."

"We know Antonio, but we still cannot understand why she is doing the new shops the way she is."

"Maybe it has something to do with extending the car park boys." they looked at each other and Carlos said.

"What car park?"

"The old unused one will be extended behind the new shops to give you more parking."

"She didn't tell us that Antonio."

"Maybe she's not up to that bit yet."

"We thought she was being mean with the size of the shops, we wanted her to make them bigger, she almost slapped us, she scares us sometimes." Carlos was scared.

"Remember when you bought the place I told you to put a block of flats in the old car park?"

"Yes Antonio."

"Well she's not doing that now, she's making more usable parking spaces."

"But we will make more money with the apartments."

"You will also make more money with parking fees."

"Oh." They looked at each other and poured their wine. I declined to drink with them.

I also heard laughing coming from Stavros's table.

"Oh don't tell me you have the lease on the old car park, Stavros."

"Okay Antonio I won't tell you that but your grandad does." He laughed with his mates and once again I refused to say fuck it and throw my hands in the air, I instead grabbed a wine.

Leases run out, and I'm sure Nina knows when grandad's does, that's probably why she's not renovating it at this time but she's preparing for it. The boys had settled down and the gay boys were back chatting to Matteo. Gianni didn't imbibe today, he kept his distance.

The place was filling up around lunchtime Angelo's customers usually had a drink here before they were seated in his restaurant so we moved operations out to the back. Matteo came in and was telling us the boys have invited him to a party on the weekend I kept my mouth shut and let him waffle on about it. I can only imagine what sort of party it will be but he's a big boy he can handle himself.

"You didn't say anything Antonio?" Gianni asked.

"No it's none of my business what he wants to get up to."

"Oh?"

"If you're worried about him Gianni then go with him."

"I'm not worried Antonio, he can do what he wants as you say."

It was about that time Gianni went back out the front and was talking to them.

I had to see Sam and when we ran into the car park at home I headed for Gino's place. Gran was still there and I smelled cooking so she's been kept busy. Bub is sleeping and Anna was splayed out in front of the TV, she was under a blanket and had heaps of pillows. I smiled at her and she winked. I think she could get used to this treatment very quickly. We left to go upstairs and as soon as we did I opened a bottle and poured a glass of wine. The little fairies had been here because there was a large tray of Lasagne in the oven ready to go. Gianni took a call from Menowin and was deep in conversation with him so I pulled out the sun chairs and sat sipping my wine.

Matteo was still talking about the party he had been invited to and I was thinking about Iris's party on Monday and what I would be wearing. Carlos almost snuggled up to me and asked me if I was all right, I told him I was fine and he's my best brother in the whole wide world.

"That was Menowin, he has a problem and I am needed to vote."

"Did he say what it was?"

"No, just that I should sign into the family site and look at upcoming meetings."

"Okay you can do that later then, is it urgent?"

"He said no, and to do it within a week."

He grabbed wine and started counting out his money so I joined him to did mine.

"Do you take that much everyday brother?"

"Sometimes more sometimes less depends on the day."

I didn't want Matteo involved with the money side of things, you know how these things get out of hand. I did mine and dated it then put it in the hidey-hole that Nina had installed for us behind a set of drawers. The envelope that Sabine gave me dropped out and I picked it up. I don't know why but I opened it to have a look, I sat heavily on the bed and read it again then again. It wasn't in our names it was in the Cartasso Corporation name, they had placed it in their names and Gianni's. It was my dream my apartment and they have taken it from me. I slowly placed it back in the envelope and the disappointment bought that brick to the front again. Gianni come in and asked why the bedroom door was closed I looked at him and shook my head.

"I didn't want anyone to see where we hide the money baby."

"He's trustworthy Antonio, you know he is."

"Yes I do, but I still have fears."

"Well don't, and yes we will lock the door when we store the money no big deal."

"Only to you," I whispered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing baby, let's go downstairs." I was so disheartened with Sabine and Ramone our names should be on that title it was bought for us, not their corporation.

I was feeling mean and was distracted, I was sure that if anything happened they would buy out my half of the place, surly they would do that.

"What's wrong Antonio?" Alice said.

"Sorry Alice I'm just a little distracted at the moment."

I must ring grandad and do something about it, I can't trust anyone anymore.

Anna was with us she was tired but Gino made her a seat out of some soft pillows. She even had a vino with us as bubs slept in his room. I know Alice was dying to go get him but she already had one bub's to look after, he was again playing with her hair.

"Where's the party you're going to Matteo?" I asked.

"I think they said it was in their condo in the city I have the address Antonio." He opened his phone and showed me, I know what area it was in but it's not in the city it was in the next suburb. I will look it up later and draw him a map on how to get there, maybe my husband will drive him there.

"Not far Matteo, just a fifteen-dollar taxi ride away."

"I will drive you," Gianni said.

"Yes you drive him and he can get a taxi home." Gianni looked at me, he knows me that well and he knows when I am down.

"We will both drive him Antonio, then we can go for coffee and a talk."

"When is it?"

"Tomorrow night Antonio."

I left it at that I don't care anymore and I don't care about his family all that much at the moment. I tried to shift that brick and it wouldn't budge, so I excused myself and took Lukas upstairs to watch some cartoons. He was very happy to be laying on the floor with me. I had poured another wine and I was making plans to have the new apartment placed in my name, two can play at that game, it was then I got mad.

I rang grandad and yes he would be more than pleased to hold all my cash at his place at least he has a big safe in the floor. I grabbed Lukas's travel bag and filled it with my envelopes then I took him down to his other Nona and drove to grans place.

I explained to grandad that I was uneasy about having so much laying around he said to me.

"I agree Antonio, and I was going to speak with you about it at some stage, once bitten twice shy as they say. I will look after it for you until you feel it's safe to have it back." He patted my knee and gran gave me a bag full of food.

I made it back to the apartment just as they all came up, the food was warm and freshly cooked so I placed it all in the oven. I took some garlic bread out of the freezer and zapped it, Gianni passed me a wine then he kissed me. I smiled at him and went about throwing some plates on the table the boys did the serviettes and cutlery, they knew something was in the wind, I had placed a smile on my face, it was forced but I think I fooled them. The disappointment was leaving and I had another vino and we all ate.

"Did you go to Nona's place Antonio?"

"Yes baby I had something to drop off I forgot grandad needed she gave me this delicious meal."

"She's very good to you Antonio, are you sure she doesn't want to move in here with us?" Carlos said, I smiled at him and shook my head.

"She will go into an early grave with gas poisoning if she lived here the oven and stovetop will be going non-stop."

They laughed and I sort of laughed.

We all sat on their balcony side tonight Lukas was watching their TV from the bed but he didn't last long, he was nodding off after his head hit the pillows.

"So how many are going to the party Matteo?" Leon asked.

"I don't know they just said it will be a really good party there will be loads of people there even your twinkles Antonio."

I laughed and I knew that Gianni would be dying to go by now.

"Really we should all gate crash it."

"You can all come I think, I will ring Peter he is organizing it, he said there will be plenty of spunky guys going there."

Do you want to go Gianni?" I wasn't thinking properly.

"No thank you Antonio, I would much rather be here with you." He kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back because the only one I can rely on is him, even though he diddled me out of my dream home.

I won't say anything I need to get on top again and I grabbed Lukas and told them all I was very tired and was going to bed. Not long after I kissed our son goodnight the bed moved and Gianni crept in behind me alone.

"What's got you all bothered tonight Antonio, no lies please." He whispered in my ear.

"Nothing baby, I was feeling a bit uneasy earlier on, but I will come good, sorry." He kissed me then started fondling me he didn't get a rise, and I went to sleep.

There was no one in my bed this morning and I had slept in, I have done it now they will think I'm going crazy. The note read they will see me at work and I was to take my time and rest a little.

I showered and dressed making some toast at the same time then I got the lift and ran to work. I walked a third of the way I wasn't in any hurry to get anywhere fast. When I got there it was chaotic. Gianni was serving behind his counter and Pedro was doing the coffee's we were one man down this morning and I had made it two. I went to see Gianni and asked who wasn't in, he said Ted had his final exams today and wouldn't be in until later.

"Where are the boys?"

"In with Nina."

"I better get to those tables then."

"Take your time Antonio we have it covered." He even kissed me.

Matteo was doing his best to fend off roaming hands and taking orders he was pleasant about it but when I arrived to help he sighed and smiled.

"I have to get these orders done Antonio, those two tables have been waiting for ages." I was onto it right away and apologized to the guys I recognized them as Matteo's friends, well two of them anyway and I had met them the other day.

"Big night tonight boys I thought you would be resting."

"No Antonio it doesn't start until nine we have plenty of time."

"How many are going?"

"Around thirty maybe forty I think, that's if Peter hasn't invited more."

"Well, have fun. I will just get this order done for you.'

"Thanks Antonio, do you want to come you can if you like?"

"No thanks I have a kid to look after."

"Well send Gianni along he will love it."

"I will tell him." I smiled and went to make their coffee.

Matteo was pleased to see me and was even more pleased when the boys showed up again. That freed him up to sit and have a coffee with his new friends. The boys didn't whinge when they arrived back they threw themselves into waiter mode and did a very fine job of it, I helped Gianni at the wine counter and he sold as I took the money and bagged the bottles. I saw Sabine out the front with Lukas and she had ordered coffee I didn't want to be pleasant to her this morning so I stood where I was and cleaned up a bit.

Gianni was still looking at me and I know he's going to have a good talk to me this morning. I was eventually taken out to the back and kissed deeply.

"Are you jealous that Matteo is going to a party?"

"Of course not, whatever gave you that idea?"

"You went strange after he was talking about it last night."

"No it's not that, Gianni I went to grandad's because I was feeling uneasy about the cash we have laying around I took mine over for him to place in his safe. Nothing to do with Matteo it's just me feeling uneasy for a moment, I am better now."

"Okay I understand Antonio, now what else?"

"Nothing else." I couldn't look at him because I'm being stupid.

He let his breath out and pursed his beautiful lips. I took a deep breath and my chin nearly hit the table I had bent over so much.

"I am just really disappointed that's all, I will come good, it's all done now and I have to accept what's done is done."

"And what would that be Antonio?"

"I was thinking that Sabine and Ramones wedding gift would be for the both of us, but when I looked at the title it was in the Cartasso corporations name. I wanted it to be in both our names, our forever home and it doesn't feel like a gift it feels like an investment for the Cartasso." My chin was now resting on my forearms.

"It's business Antonio we save a lot on tax's and everything about the apartment comes out of the corporate account."

"I know and I am sorry but...."

"But what?"

"It doesn't feel like a gift just business, am I being mean Gianni?"

"No Antonio, I see what you're trying to say my love." I took his hand.

"Please don't interfere in the new flat. I want to put in both our names please don't ask me to add it to the Cartasso investments."

"I won't Antonio, I would never do that to you, just a moment." He took his phone out and rang Sabine.

"No Gianni please don't say anything. I will put up with it, she was only thinking of an investment, not a gift like she told us."

"Mama can you come out the back please, Antonio has some concerns." My brick was back and I had nowhere to hide.

Sabine, followed by Leon and Carlos came out she took one look at me and sat heavily.

"What on this earth is the matter son, you look terrible."

I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I took her hand and said.

"Nothing mama I am just being silly." I smiled and kissed it.

"Antonio has some concerns mama about papa and your wedding present he doesn't like it."

"Antonio, if you don't like it it's a bit late to change it now."

"Gianni shut up, please just shut up."

"He thinks because it's in the Cartasso corporation name he doesn't own it and you didn't give him a real wedding present he feels cheated."

"That's enough Gianni don't say anything else." I got mad and almost shouted at him.

"It has to be done that way Antonio, you and Gianni still own it, didn't you read all the other paperwork?"

"I read the first page that was enough, I'm sorry but Gianni is making a bigger deal out of it than it warrants, thank you."

"Leon get Antonio a drink I think he will need it and I will have one also. We have to clear up this mess I can't have one of my sons thinking I was stealing off him." Sabine said.

"Sabine I don't think that at all and I am sorry, I must sound so ungrateful."

Leon was more than happy to open a bottle. I had a glass in my hands and Matteo popped his head in and wanted to know what was going on, he and Gianni also got a glass. I skulled it because vino always makes me feel better.

"A toast to my son Antonio and welcome to our family."

"Thank you mama." I poured another glass and sat on it.

"I told you to tell him Gianni and now look at him he's very distraught," Sabine said.

"Sorry mama I thought he would read it all."

"Read what?" I said.

"The next page was a contract, and it's your real present from mama and me Antonio. It has four names on it now. Federico, Sabine, Gianni and Antonio Cartasso. We had to make a new amendment to our Corporation to add you when we got married. You are one of the owners of Cartasso Corp Antonio, you own the house, the manor the family home the winery our apartment and a whole lot of other properties and bank accounts."

"I don't understand Gianni I am so confused at the moment."

"The apartment isn't your real wedding present Antonio, but being added to the family business is. We thought we would not insult you with a mere flat, we wanted to give you more so we added you to the family business instead. If you go back and read the title again there will be a world bank card there in your name, we wanted you to be equal to us, not an apartment owner, that's not much of a wedding present for my new husband."

"Oh." I dropped my stupid head and started crying.

He started laughing along with Sabine.

"You are so funny sometimes Antonio, we got you good this time." I looked up at him and that evil grin was back on my face again.

"If it's the last thing I do Gianni Cartasso I will get you for this."
