Mr. Romano's Secret

Prologue

Sometimes fate plays a cruel game when you think it can't be worse than this but it proves you wrong. 

The same thing took place in my life and turned my whole perfect world upside down.  I am Giovanni Romano, thirty-five years old and the eldest son of a Romano family, a preeminent family in Italy. I have taken possession of the CEO role three years ago. Honestly being CEO wasn't my choice yet my parents forced me to take over their company by emotionally blackmailing me. My passion was being a model and I was used to be a fashion model also own some modeling agencies. 

My perfect life took a 360° turn when my brother Junior Antonio Romano who was supposed to replace our father as a CEO, took his own life because he has lost the love of his life in an accident, his wife Sofia who was pregnant and he has no idea about it that coerced him to take this big step and he ended his life. 

That's how my life was full of twists, turns, adventures, and fun, but now I am squeezed among these four walls that annoy me but honestly, there is someone who took all of my stress away. Even though I know that dreaming about her is forbidden for me yet I can't help it and keep thinking about her every day.

I held her close and pull for a passionate kiss, at first she was hesitant but soon she responded to my fierce kisses and I lost in her, this is the best moment of my life yet. As we parted reluctantly to let go of each other, I couldn't help and pressed a lingering kiss on her forehead. 

As her doe eyes meet mine, I could discern the turmoil and fear rising in her eyes reckoning what just happened a moment ago shouldn't have happened. 

"This is wrong, Mr. Romano," She whispered and touched her soft lips while looking at me dazed.  

A smile formed on my lips understanding I affect her. 

"But this isn't wrong, Marie" I hushed her and played with her soft hairs. 

She shook her head and looked into my eyes," I should go". 

She didn't move nor I did, I just don't want this moment to end and want her right here with me. I could feel she thinks the same but denying it. 

My hand clenched into a fist realizing I can't do anything and we are bound to be separated so I instantly remove my arm from her waist and took a defeated breath. 

"I do know you don't love that jerk, please just once tell me the reason and I promise you that I'll help you in every possible way," I was determined to help her yet she refuses and turned to leave.

I just stared at her and she halted just for a second to glance back at me then left shutting me out of her life. 

I just couldn't help and sink on the floor berating myself for unable to get what I want. For the first time in years, I loved someone and want her to be mine but she has chosen someone else who isn't me. I also know that she doesn't love him then why the hell she is marrying him?.
