It only takes one day for anything and everything to change in my case it was one night...

ONE YEAR AGO

Walking on the beach and inhaling the see breeze it was truly beautiful here. I had decided to take a break from everything considering I dumped my boyfriend because he cheated with his secretary. Grandma was also sick and in need of treatments that are very expensive and I'm so close to being able to provide it I just need more time .

I snapped out of my sad thoughts when I heard someone suffocating and and coughing, I quickly turned then ran towards the old man who sat on the sand trying to breath. Noticing a asthma pump far from his reach I took it and placed it close to his lips where he inhaled and immediately he caught his breath and started to breath Normally.

He looked rather expensive judging from the expensive suit and the rolax watch on his wrist "Sir are you okay" I asked softly helping him to his feet "Yes dear just going through something at the moment" he said he appeared to be old with some of his gray hairs sticking out of his black hair.

"May I please get you some water" I ask worriedly and he chuckles "Sure dear I could use some " He said as I led him to the bench near by leaving him there to go get some water for him .

I came back and handed it to him while I noticed the sad look on his face "What seems to bothering you sir "I ask sitting next to him .

"Dear life is short and quiet Frankly mine ...you can see I'm old and not getting any younger ,I only wanna see my nephew find a nice woman absolutely not in my world and one outside of it .I want him to fall in love but he believes that it's not possible and he was raised to believe love is something that is worthless but actually it's worth everything" he says .

"I found love outside of my world and lived a happy life but he likes telling me 'No Zio it doesn't mean you found love that I will , it's foolish really and I don't hope to fall in love '. He doesn't see what I'm trying to make him , I'm the oldest and run the family business I don't have a son so I consider him my son . I only wish to die knowing he found love and his happy ending." He says his Italian accent thick as he spoke .

"Don't worry I'm sure he will...just give it time he'll learn " I replied to him and held on to his shoulder and I smile softly at him "I'm sorry dear I didn't even ask for your name do you mind telling me " he asked and I didn't see why not he seemed like a noble man "Raven , Raven Johnson " I smiled at him "And you sir ?" I asked and he grinned"Just call me Mr De Luca " he Said.

A black Rolce Royce and two SUV's pulled up and my eyes widened"I believe my ride is here . There's no one home at the moment and I'm awfully lonely waiting for my Nephew do you mind staying with me just for a few minutes. " He said sadness covered his face .

I couldn't fully trust him but there was so much light coming from him but still I don't know him "I'll go with you but I need to go back in forty minutes because I promised my friend I'd be here waiting for her at a restaurant near by " I stated I don't even know why I agreed.

He nodded getting into the Expensive car with him .After driving for a few minutes we stopped at a huge luxurious mansion that was surrounded my men with huge guns that was awfully nerve wrecking. "It's for my protection Ms Johnson don't worry about it they won't harm you " he said .

We stepped out of the car as he led me to a garden where two chairs and a table set with biscuits and tea waiting for us "I hope you don't mind I had this prepared on our way " he said taking a sit and I did the same .

"Don't be shy dear make yourself at home " he said taking a biscuit and eating one as I followed his action . "You seemed lost in thought and very sad when I saw you strolling by the beach " he said taking a sip of his tea .

"Well...my boyfriend of two years cheated on me and I'm still in a little pain plus my grandma isn't doing to well , she's the only person I have after both my parents died " I said taking a sip of the tea. I don't know why I felt so comfortable telling him about my personal life but I still did it was something about him , it was warm kind and friendly like he couldn't hurt a fly .

"I'm so sorry to hear that .He wasn't the right one for you it seems you'll find the special one for you dear I promise and something tells me it's gonna be soon" he smiled at me .

We ended up having a conversation he was rather friendly and kind hearted and understanding along the lines he would give me advice. Soon enough I was dropped at my location by his men . Mr De Luca I would remember that name he was one of those strangers that impacted your life in a good way ,I didn't know how to describe it .

There's a reason why this happened. You'll see just continue reading ...
