Aracella has been thru hell. Born into a upper class family, she had big dreams. Until she lost everything by killing herself, but she was given a second chance. Will she make her dreams come true or will betrayal ruin the happiness she seeks.
Roman...
As I was coming out of the bathroom I ran into someone. I feel something warm on my lips. I am staring into a boys eyes. Why are his eyes so close to me. Wait a minute... My lips are warm. I jump up and blush. "I am so sorry. Are you okay?" I ask him as I help him up.
"I am fine. How about you?" He asked.
I giggled I don't know why but I like this boy. "I am sorry, and yes I am okay. As an apology would you like to join me and my brother?" When I asked him I hear a panicked voice.
"Cella!" I turned to see my brother looking at me worriedly.
"Brother!" I unconsciously grab Roman's hand and drag him with me to my brother.
"There you are you have been gone for quite a while now. I was beginning to worry," he says and glances at the boy next to me. "And who might this be?" I can see him slightly glare at him.
"This is Roman. I like him can he join us for dinner? He must be hungry. By the way who are you here with? They can join us too." I tell him excitedly.
"Roman?!" I see a man rush over and immediately check him over to see if he is ok.
"Dad I am fine. This is Aracella she just invited us for dinner. Can we join them?" He asked his father.
He looked at his son then my brother "it would be a pleasure to join you both." He said.
"Cella and I were just decusing business," he said.
"Its fine brother, they might have a good input and may be a invester." I informed my brother of my intentions with Roman's father was.
"Very well Cella," he agrees somewhat reluctantly.
We head back to the table when the waitress comes to bring our food. I had ordered my favorite stuffed shells with ragu sauce on the side. I begin to pick up my fork and knife when I heard Renee's voice.
"Cella?" I turn and smile at her.
"Renee? Did you need something?" I asked in a innocent voice.
"I thought you and your brother where discussing business. But it seems you just didn't want to eat with me." She began to put on a play to act like she was a victim. I remember her doing this in the past before I came back. I always ended up looking like the bad guy and ended up having to apologize. Well unfortunately for her I know her tricks and know just what to do.
"What are you talking about Renee? I am in a business meeting. This is Romeo Russo Ceo of the Russo company and a potential investor in my business, and his son who I am thinking of using as a model for my childrens line in the boys department. I have already came up with seven possible outfits that would look fantastic on him. Unfortunately I have run out of room in my sketch book." I informed her.
"I am so sorry. I interrupted a very important meeting, please Cella don't be mad at me I didn't mean it. To make it up to you let me get daddy. He can be a potential investor too. I can also volunteer to be a model for you. Richard can also help. He was just telling me how beautiful you are and how he wanted to get closer to you." She said.
"He's cute but my fiance won't like it," I said shocking everyone.
"Cella who is your fiance?" My brother asked.
I gave him a sweet smile, "Roman. Roman Russo." Everyone looked at Roman and he blushed as well as was beginning to look frantic. "You already kissed me so you have to take responsibility." I told him.
"It was a accident," he said.
"It doesn't matter! Daddy told me I can only kiss my future husband and family. Since we kissed you have to be my husband! I won't marry anyone else! From this day forward you are now my betrothed!" I made a big scene knowing my brother would make it happen. He would do anything to make me happy.
"Very well," my brother sighed. "I can discuss the details with you later. It seems as though our meeting has been ruined. Would a week from now be ok to discuss everything along with the betrothal? My sister is a mess it seems she wont be happy with anyone but your son. Besides they look like the perfect couple." He said while watching Roman wipe the tears from my eyes.
"Cella please don't cry. I will marry you so don't cry," he kept saying over and over.
This boy does not know I just used him. I used him to escape Richard and Renee. But I get the feeling he could care less as long as he was by my side. I swear that this will be the onle time I will ever use him.
"We should get going Cella looks like she is about to pass out from crying," James said.
"Of course, we will see you at her birthday party tomorrow." Romeo said.
"I am sorry Cella, I will se you tomorrow." Renee said.
I wiped the tears in my eyes, "OK," I said with a angelic smile.

"Cella lets go," my brother said as he picked me up. "Why do you hate her now? She is your best friend." He said when we were out of ear shot.
"Its a long story, but I dont thik you will believe me even if I told you." I gave him a cryptic answer.
"Try me,"he said.
"Very well, but I will tell the whole family. No matter what I tell you I need you to keep a open mind. As well as let me deal with everything," I told him.
"Very well, I promise." I know very well that once my brother makes a promise he never goes back on his word.
