Antonio Gabriel Fontana and Emilia Louise Thompson are total opposites. Opposites that should never meet. But when their drunken selves set them up for drama, things go down.
This scandal can ruin his reputation and the reputation of the Fontana fa...

"Stupid little-"
"Was that your boyfriend, sweetheart?"
"Yes, mom. You need to go. I have to meet him somewhere." I reply, dropping my by on the passenger seat and strapping my seatbelt over my body.
Mother turns to look at me like she's offended. "But don't you want to hang out more? I took this day off to be with you. I know I can be much but you just want to shoo me away?"
I close my eyes with a sigh. "Tell you what, we can go to the movies tonight. I'll pick you up and we can end the night with a little fun."
My mother's eyes brighten. "Oh good. I'll see you then." She presses a kiss on my forehead. "I love you." She closes my car door and walks happily to her car.
I press my lips together in thought. My mind is all over the place. Fuck.
When Antonio called he just told me to come with no explanation and I assume he means his father's manor where everyone else lives.
I drive up the hill, past the city centre and past the forest part where the manor is close to.
After a few minutes of driving, I reach the e first gate where the men look at me all confused.
"Who are you? What business do you have here?" One of them speaks in a thick, Italian accent.
I sigh. "I'm here to see Antonio Fontana. He called me. He should have informed you."
The eight of them look at each other. While the other four stand still ignoring this whole interaction.
One of them called Antonio and said some words in Italian which I didn't understand. After a few seconds, I hear Antonio's reply in English. "Let.her.in. I've said it four times. I don't like to repeat myself."
"Ah. My apologies, sir. Ms Thompson, you are free to drive in." He stammers.
I press my lips together and drive in the gate once it's open and drive up the long path to the second gate.
I park my car at the front and a set of guards open the doors for me.
"Good afternoon ma'am. Should I escort you to Mr Fontana's office?"
"Yes please."
The kind man knocks on the door of what I believe is Christian's office and I get weird stares from the maids and the men who are walking around.
I almost want to roll my eyes. But then again, it's a mafia. Of course, they'll be cautious of who is entering and leaving the mafia.
There's a faint 'come in' heard so I enter to see Christian on the phone and Antonio tapping his feet on the floor impatiently.
"Make sure my wife eats, you hear me?" Silence. "Yes, of course. Please take care of them. She needs to rest. It's not easy being pregnant. Thank you, Carlo. Bye." Christian ends his call.
