Chapter 7 Is He Massimo

Shortly after, they arrived at the Ferrari's family castle. The compound looks brilliantly decorated. Colorful lights were gleaming everywhere. High-profile cars were parked in the open garage, and guests were either alighting from the car or stepping inside the building.

Others stood by the side, conversing and giggling with a glass of wine in their hands.

Zeta first descended from the car followed by her father. She threw glances around the compound and at the people moving elegantly in and out of the main building with others standing and discussing by the side. She can't help but huff. It was like a heavy stone was stacked in her heart. Zeta felt her heart heating up. She felt crippling fear around her, and shivers flowed down her spine.

It's obvious her father intends to make the whole people know she will be engaged to the so-called Massimo. 'This is funny. How can I be engaged to two men! Who does that?' Zeta's mind was spiraling with questions.

Her father extended his hand to her, and Zeta firmly grasped it, and they elegantly walked toward the entrance. The bystanders who partnered with Enzo smiled at him, whereas others who were his rival gave him a sinister look. Enzo cares little about the murderous look they are throwing at him. What's more important is for Massimo and Zeta to be engaged so that his deal with Mr. Ferrari will be sealed.

Enzo spotted Mr. Ferrari at a corner discussing and smiling with a few other business tycoons when they came inside the building. He walked Zeta to the corner. Before reaching Mr. Ferrari's, Enzo called out, "Mr. Aldo Ferrari!"

Aldo Ferrari, upon hearing his name winced, ', this voice sounds familiar. He thought and directed his head to where the voice was coming from. As he sighted Enzo Moretti, a smile consumed his face. He extended his arms and hugged Enzo. "Enzo, it's good you are here now. Massimo will arrive in a matter of minutes!" Aldo Ferrari excitedly said.

Massimo Ferrari has been away from Italy for over twenty years. The moment Massimo turned five years, Aldo sent him to Britain. They have branch offices in Britain and other countries as well. But Italy is their headquarters. Aldo's reason for sending Massimo away was for him to learn how he can run their business and clearly understand what the business world entails. Ways to survive and make more money and power.

Now that Massimo is twenty-nine years, he needs to come back to Italy and run the business from the headquarters as Aldo is about to retire from the business world.

"I'm glad I made it in time," Enzo said as he curved his lips to a smile. He beckoned on Zeta, held her by the shoulder, and told Aldo Ferrari, "this is Zeta, my lovely daughter."

Aldo bulged his eyes and said, "Oh my, she's gorgeous." He blinked his eyes a few times and asked Zeta, "miss Moretti, what's your field of study. I heard you studied at Curtin University in Singapore".

"Business management, sir," Zeta said reluctantly.

"Hmm." Aldo nodded his head and smiled. "It's a good field of study. I hope you are excited to meet your fiance?"

Zeta shrugged reluctantly and curved her lips in a slight smile. Aldo introduced the other businessmen he was conversing with to Enzo and Zeta.

Zeta paid rapt attention to their names. As she was told, for someone to know whom to partner with in business deals, you have to know the names of other business magnates. From the brief introduction Aldo gave, Zeta was able to recognize one man - Carlo Vincenzo. "You are Bianca's father, if I'm not mistaken?" Zeta asked the man whose name sounded familiar.

The man smiled and nodded, "yes, I'm Bianca Vincenzo's father. How did you get to know me, young lady?" Carlo Vincenzo asked.

"Oh..um, Bianca and I were friends back at high school". Zeta responded.

"I see, that's good." Carlo Vincenzo said.

"How is she?" Zeta asked.

"Bianca is doing great. She recently returned from Sweden. She will be at the party tonight". Carlo responded.

Zeta's eyes lit up hearing that Bianca would also come tonight. At least she will get to see her long-time friend. "Sounds great. Looking forward to meeting her again". She said, and Carlo Vincenzo smiled.

Two white limousines entered the castle with a siren car outside the Ferrari's castle. When Aldo heard the sound of the siren, he gestured for Enzo, Zeta, and the others he was with to follow him outside to welcome Massimo.

People clustered around to see the almighty heir of the Ferrari family. Some bodyguards stepped out from the first limousine and headed to the second one. They opened the door, and someone stepped his foot on the ground. Looking at the shoe, you will notice it's a high-class Versace men's shoe.

Again the man bent his head and plod out from the car, adjusting his grey suit. He looked around and saw how people clustered around him and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

The man's face is long. He has a long chiseled face with sparkling pink lips pressed into a thin line. He's tall and broad-chested. Looking at the side of his neck, you can spot something that seems like a tattoo.

The people gasped, looking at the young man standing right in front of them.

"Wow! He looks handsome!"

"He looks exactly like Aldo!"

"Oh, I would love him to marry my daughter!"

Zeta's eyes widened the moment she spotted the man. Her mouth was a bit agape as she constantly stared at the young man. 'Is he Massimo? He's...'

"Welcome home, Massimo, my son. It has been a long time since we last saw each other". Aldo spoke with his Italian accent obstructing Zeta's train of thoughts.

Aldo inched closer to where Massimo is standing and carefully enfolded him in his arms. Happiness crept into his heart seeing his son and heir once again.

"Father, I'm equally glad to see you again. It feels good to be home at last." With a deep voice and British accent, Massimo spoke. He curled up his lips in a meaningful smile while nodding his head.

He knew his father would throw a shindig for him but actually didn't expect it to be a hit with many people in attendance.

Zeta stood still, ogling at Massimo. Right then she subconsciously started comparing the looks of Bryan Tan and Massimo. 'Bryan is handsome. Yes, he is; but this dude here is truly a feast to the eyes. Wait, what are you doing, Zeta? Comparing your fiance to this man here? How stupid of you. Zeta cursed herself.

Throughout the six years she has dated Bryan Tan; this was her first time comparing Bryan to someone else. Zeta blinked her eyes and shook her head, reminding herself that she shouldn't let her guard down because of the man in front of her. 'Behave yourself. Bryan is still your man. No one else'. Zeta cautioned herself.

"Please, let's all go inside the castle." Aldo vocalized and ushered Massimo inside the castle. Everyone nodded and followed them from behind.

Enzo glanced at Zeta to read the expression on her face, but he was utterly saddened as Zeta's face was aloof. As if she wasn't impressed with what she saw just now. "Isn't she attracted to Massimo? But he's handsome, to begin with, so she should be attracted to him. He mused.

Although Enzo was trying to force Zeta into marrying Massimo to gain power, contract, and money, he still wants Zeta to at least love Massimo. He still wants her to be happy in her marriage but with what he saw on Zeta's face she was least impressed with Massimo's physique.

Enzo huffed. His heart squeezed with anger. He grabbed Zeta's hand softly but angrily and plodded inside the castle. Zeta raised her head, glanced at her father, and wondered why he made such a sudden move with her.
