A lost dream

chapter 2

  CHAPTER 2

Big blue eyes looked up at me and immediately regretted my awful words. Suddenly I could see the wrinkles in her polished face and the grey forming in her long blonde hair. I always wondered why I didn’t have her honey blonde hair instead I was stuck with long raven black curls. She had beautiful blue eyes and a killer body and as for me………. my friends used to call me “sexy curvy”. My bright green eyes with a hint of yellow in it wasn’t really normal compared to other. Everyone always used to asked me if I was wearing contacts.

“Err……. I don’t mean to interrupt but I have another appointment in an hour and we need to finish this before I go”

Frowning I looked up at the stranger. The first word coming to my mind was teddy bear! He was fuzzy and fat and actually he looked adorable.

My mother gave one last sniff “oh yes, sorry about that” she said in a determined voice “Marilyn, this is Mr Grey and he was your father’s lawyer” she hesitated for a moment and Mr Grey took the opportunity to talk, clearly not wanting to waste any more time. “Marilyn Agresta, your father Angelo Agresta left his wine estate as well as a portion of his money in his will for you”.

Wide eyed I stared at the man in front of me before I could say a word my mom said “who inherit the other portion of his money?”

Ignoring my mother he began “He also pointed you as the legal guardian of his only son Carlo Agresta if you decline his offer he will be placed in Foster care”.

“His son! That means he’s my brother!”

“Yes, that is correct and if you accept the offer to be a guardian you must be on the first flight to Italy” clearing his throat he added “You will be given a period of 30 days to work on the wine estate with help from the staff or Mr Benenati a potential buyer will buy the property”.

“This is too much” I ran my fingers threw my hair “what should I do?”

“Well, I strongly suggest you take the first flight to Italy for the sake for your brother”.

“Mom, you will go with me, right?”.

“Sorry Miss Agresta she will not be allowed on the estate”.

I looked desperately at my mom “ I am sorry honey, you need to do this on your own”.

I looked down and softly whispered “okay”.

“Then it’s settled” he handed me a plain white card with several numbers on it.

“This is my number, if you need me please call”.

“Where will you be?”

He laughed for the first time and said “ in Italy of course”
