After the death of her grandmother, the sweet and kind Samantha Veroni finds herself living in the mansion of the most prestigious family in Italy where seven brothers live.
Samantha was upstairs with Sergio, and they had heard everything from up there, the young woman was extremely hurt by the words of Simona and her husband.
They were right! She thought bitterly with her bright eyes, filled with regret to have agreed to make this trip...
-Don't take into consideration the words of these vultures Samantha! Said Sergio, seeing the young woman's sad face.
-Your parents don't seem to appreciate me very much it s...
-It doesn't matter what they think, he interrupted her. The twins and I are very happy that you live with us! There are too many men here! Finally, this house needed a pretty girl like you! He finished to make her smile.
-Thank you, Sergio! Said Samantha with a shy smile.
-Let's go! I'll show you your room. He said, taking the young woman's suitcases before walking in front of her.
If Samantha was amazed by the beauty of the mansion, she was even more so when Sergio showed her the room. A unique room with a dressing room, an adjacent bathroom, a comfortable living room, and a bedroom larger than her apartment in Greece.
The bed was huge! It was decorated with draperies and a thin veil that could be closed; the bed had such a hypnotic charm that she almost refused to sleep in it.

-Do you like it? Sergio asked her as he entered after her.
-Yes, it's like in a dream! She said, looking at every part of the room.
-Do you want me to show you around the mansion? Sergio asked as he put down her suitcases.
-Yes of course, if you don't mind. Samantha replied as she came out of her contemplation.
-I don't mind at all Samantha! come on! We will start at the bottom of the floor where the servants are. Said Sergio, inviting her to leave the room.

Impressed! It's the perfect word, which describes the state in which Samantha was after meeting all the staff of the mansion and visiting every room existing in the mansion. The mansion was so gigantic that she felt dizzy and was forced to go to her room to rest...
In the evening, the members of the Mondadori family sat down at the table in the huge dining room.

Samantha quickly joined them and at the same time met two other grandsons of Nonna Alberta: Luciano and Eduardo Mondadori, two men in dark suits. They are exactly like their father! Thought Samantha while settling between Sergio and Alberta, who was sitting near Luciano. Opposite there were Eduardo, Simona, and the twins. Cesar Mondadori sat at the head of the table, like the head of the family.
Just like their father, both men exuded this dangerous aura that greatly frightened Samantha.
As she would have guessed, the men started talking about business.
-After also studying the file, Luciano began in his deep voice. It would be better to wait before signing anything with the Americans.
-Sure? And why that? His father asked him, one eyebrow raised.
-Mr. White, our client is known to all as a "failure" in the business world, most of his companies have gone bankrupt! If we ever invest in this project, we will lose more than we would win. Luciano replied with confidently.
Eduardo, who until then was quiet, just preferred to listen to his father and brother talk about the new contract without intervening. In any case, father will only do what he wants. Eduardo thought completely annoyed.
- I became aware of these things, said Cesar, continuing the conversation. But your brother, Maximiliano reassured me about the profitability of the funds.
That's it! Maximiliano, again and always Maximiliano. We can't talk calmly without this old man talking about his favorite son. Luciano thought as he felt his blood boil with anger.
-Do you think we should withdraw from this contract? Cesar asked his son Luciano.
-I would say yes, replied Luciano. We must not embark on an uncertain adventure at the risk of tarnishing the image and reputation of Mondadori companies. He finished, sure of himself.
-Well, we have to wait for Maximiliano, he will decide what to do with this contract! Concluded Cesar, ignoring the opinion of Luciano.
Things happened as Eduardo had predicted. Indeed, Cesar only had eyes and ears for Maximiliano, his eldest son. Our opinion was of no importance to him. Thought Eduardo while he was in the same state of anger as his brother Luciano.
Alberta had noticed her daughter-in-law's pouty face throughout the dinner. Simona was not at all happy to share the same table as Samantha. Thought Alberta, happy to have spoiled her daughter-in-law's evening.
Maximiliano? The heir of the Mondadori family? He seems to be an important person. Thought Samantha, eager to meet him.
