My New Assistant

"Nonno!" Gio cheered as Vincenzo picked her up.

"Ah my little tesoro." Vincenzo said as he laughed before kissing Gios cheek.

"Bambina come here now please." Carina said trying to stay calm as to not freak Gio out.

"Give me a minute with my granddaughter Carina. Or what do you not trust me?" Vincenzo said with a smile before kissing Gios cheek.

"Mamma I didn't know nonno was coming." Gio Said excited.

"well it was a surprise for your mamma too Bella. I came to see if you and mamma want to come back to Italia with me." Vincenzo said making Gio nod excitedly.

"Yes! And mommy too! she's never been to Italy!" Gio Said making Vincenzo look at her with a serious expression.

"No.  A beautiful bambina like you can only have one mamma and that's her." Vincenzo said pointing at Carina who automatically went up to him.

"Seriously Vincenzo..." Carina said taking Gio out of his arms.

"Mamma..." Gio Said now with a bit of tears in her eyes. Carina hated seeing Gio upset.

"Hey look at me bambina... Don't listen to nonno ok? He's just sick." Carina said glaring at Vincenzo who just rolled his eyes.

"So I can have two mom's?" Gio Said making Carina nod.

"Yeah. Nonno just doesn't get the concept of love. Hopefully he'll learn that we can't chose who our heart falls in love with." Carina said again looking at Vincenzo who looked like he could start screaming at any moment.

"I need you to do me a favor amore and go call zio Andrea for me. He's in my office." Carina said making Gio nod before putting her down.

Once Gio was upstairs Carina began crying. The last thing she wanted was to cry in front of Vincenzo but she was exhausted. If it wasn't one thing it was another and she didn't know how much more she could handle before going completely insane.

Seconds later Maya and Gabriella came into the living room. All Maya saw was red once she saw Vincenzo and Carina crying.

"Hey baby what happened? Why are you crying? Did he hurt you?" Maya asked concerned looking over cash a who was shaking her head.

"No he didn't hurt me bambina..." Carina said now holding Mayas hand.

"How's the foot Maya? Causing you any pain at all?" Vincenzo said with a smirk.

"What are you doing here Vincenzo?" Carina said taking a deep breath.

"I came to see if you came to your senses and decided to come to Italy with me but I see that you haven't.... How does it feel to ruin your daughter's life? She's such an innocent bambina and yet you are wanting to give her the worst life possible. Filling her head with nothing but filth." Vincenzo said looking at Carina and Maya who looked pissed.

"One, I'm not leaving with you. I would never want Gio anywhere near a person like you... second what I do with my life shouldn't be any of your concern Vincenzo I'm done telling you that." Carina said still holding Mayas hand.

"You never used to be like this Carina! You were always willing to do what your family thought was best for you..." Vincenzo said pacing around the living room.

"Yeah and look where that got me. I was married to a man who I never even loved. The only good thing that came out of that marriage was my bambina." Carina said making Vincenzo laugh. Seconds later Andrew came running down the stairs.

"papà, cosa fai qui?" Andrew said running his face annoyed.

"sono venuta a trovare la mia bellissima figlia." (I came to visit my beautiful daughter.) Vincenzo said with a sarcastic smile looking at Carina.
