Engaged To Two Billionaires

Eighteen Years Ago.

Clack* Clack* Clack*

Aurora's eyes flapped open immediately she heard his footsteps clacking on the hard floor, her lips quivered, and her hands that were tied up at the back of the seat she's hunched on trembled.

Just the sight of him scared the little breath she had in her throat out.

She's scared!

Will he continue with his punishment again?

Hasn't he had enough?

Oh! She wishes Enzo is in town; at least her husband would save her from this power-thirst man.

The footsteps kept creaking on the floor until it stopped right in front of her.

She craned her head up and ogled at his horrible face. His eye patch was hitched up on his forehead, and she could see his lifeless eye.

Domenico Black has been a thorn in their flesh.

'My poor Zeta!' Aurora cried inside her as thoughts about Zeta flashed through her mind.

She was abducted on her way to the grocery store by Black's men. 'How would she be feeling now? Is she safe?' She questioned herself.

However, the ear-splitting laughter of Black cut through her thoughts. She looked back at him and wondered what was funny.

"Mrs. Moretti! Nice to have you here!" He squealed happily, making Aurora shudder.

"What do you want? Tell me? Why did you abduct me when you know my husband's not in town?" She bemoaned.

"Hahaha..." Black laughed out. He pinched her chin, looking her dead in the eyes.

"Look! A whole Mrs. Moretti is scared of me. Oh my...my." a fiendish laughter left Black's lips.

"Enzo knows what I want. And I will stop at nothing until I attain my desires. But...tsk...tsk...you obstinate husband doesn't want to acquiesce to my demands and don't blame me if anything happens. Aurora."

"No...no...please, don't do this please. Have mercy." She shivered the moment he saw him clamping a knife. "Don't please, Black. Have mercy!"

She knows Black is deadly. She knows he won't spare her even if she cries her throat out. He won't.

"Well, there's one word that doesn't fit in my dictionary and that's mercy!!!" Black howled and immediately lacerated Aurora's face.

Blood gushed out, and she screamed at the top of her voice.

However, the room is downright soundproof, so no one could hear her.

Her hands were shaky and sweaty as he trailed behind her and cut the rope she was tied with.

"Before I finish up with you, Mrs. Moretti, I'd like to have a little fun." His eyes flickered with delight as he spat this, but Aurora dreaded what he'd do.

"Black...please!" She straightened on her knees, hands clasped together as she pleaded for mercy.

But Black is one man consumed by darkness and hatred. Once he wants something, he'll work for it until the end.

Just then, his men trailed into the room and huddled Aurora on the floor as Black made his way with her.

Aurora couldn't endure the pains dripping from her body as she curled up in a heap around the corner afterward.

She heard Black speaking over the phone moments later and from the familiarity of the voice, she knew it was her husband, Enzo.

"I've one last surprise for you, Enzo." Black squeaked, and before long, he pulled the trigger on Aurora's head.

Her blood curtained the floor.

**

Years later.

Zeta graduated from high school, and the best way Enzo could keep her safe from the claws of his foes is by sending her to Singapore under the guise of furthering her education.

"But dad, I'll miss you a lot," Zeta said as her father clamped her in a tight hug.

"Don't worry Zeta. I want you to further your education in Singapore and join me in the business world, it's what you always wanted right?"

Zeta nodded, "yes, I can't wait to join you dad." She beamed.

'It's better I take you out of the country for your safety. I've to protect you.' Enzo mused inwardly.

"And baby girl, endeavor to take care of yourself while you're there. Hear me?" Rosa, butt in.

Hearing her words, Zeta smiled. Sure, I'll, aunt. I will." She pulled Rosa in an embrace.

Afterward, they trailed to the apron where Zeta entered the flight, bidding them goodbye.

Vsst. Vsst. Vsst.

Enzo's phone buzzed; picking it up, he saw his name flash on the screen.

"You think you could beat me on this game Enzo?" His voice, as cold as the night, resonated in Enzo's ears.

"Black." Enzo called.

"Worry not. I'll back soon! We ain't done with this business Enzo Moretti!" Black growled and hung down the call.

"Is it him?" Rosa asked, worried.

"Yes! The man I told you about." Enzo squeaked worriedly.

*

At Milan's international airport stands a lady waiting in the lobby.

Apparently, she's waiting to be picked up by her family.

She shoved her phone out of her bag and dialed a number. "Dad" appeared on the screen, and shortly, the call connected.

"Dad, I'm back. Right at the airport. Please hurry and pick me up." Zeta said and hung up the call.

She smiled satisfactorily; returning back to Italy after six years of departure gladdens her heart.

Now, she's back to take over her father's business which has clearly been her dream over the years.

Zeta loves business and wholly wants to venture into the business world like her father.

Right after dropping the call with her father, Zeta called yet another number. 'Babe' appeared on the screen, and a deep husky voice reverberated in Zeta's ears.

"Are you there?" The person on the other side asked.

"Yes, I have landed in Italy, Bryan. I'm at the airport waiting to be picked up by my dad this minute." Said Zeta sounding overly excited.

Coming back home hits differently for her. She had missed the soothing atmosphere of her home country, the way of life, and the street food she usually grabbed while walking along the road when she was young.

As these fleeting memories riveted her mind, Zeta smiled. A big heartwarming smile.

"Alright, babe. I'm glad you're home. Take care of yourself, and please do ensure you tell your dad about our engagement, okay?" Bryan's voice echoed in Zeta's ears.

Bryan's her boyfriend in Singapore; throughout the years Zeta spent in Singapore, she had been dating Bryan.

Last week when they graduated from school, Bryan got Zeta engaged.

However, Zeta's father, Enzo Moretti, isn't aware that Zeta had a boyfriend when she was in Singapore not to mention being engaged.

Zeta bottled the news up, waiting to spill the beans once she returns to Italy.

She felt there was no need for her to tell her father about her boyfriend; he should know she was old enough to have one.

She's twenty-three, and of course, someone at this age should have a boyfriend, isn't it?

"Don't worry, Bryan, I'll definitely tell him about us. And about our engagement, once I return home. "

"You know it's part of my reason for coming back so early, right? So I'll tell him about our engagement. I love you lots, Bryan, and I will endeavor to stick to my words." Zeta said reassuringly.

The happiness hovering over her body is very evident. She loves Bryan, and he, too, loves her. And as love birds, they engaged one another. So why wouldn't she tell her father?

"Alright, waiting to get a response soon. Good news, actually. After you spill the beans, I'll come over to Italy to meet with him and then we'll fix a date for our wedding." Bryan said, his deep and husky voice juggles Zeta's body with joy.

"Definitely. I'll hang up now. Bye." Zeta worded and hung down the call.

Right after she dropped the call, Zeta spotted a black SUV car trailing in front of the airport; she simpered and picked up her luggage, walking gracefully toward the entrance.

"Dad!!"

She squealed and rushed over to Enzo Moretti, encircling her slender arms around his neck giving him a warm hug.

It's been years. All the while she's in Singapore, Enzo never visited her.

He's a big tycoon seeking for more recognition and wealth.

Thus, he has been busy traveling for business purposes to different places and meeting with different business tycoons.

Consequent to covet for power and recognition, Enzo has signed a marriage contract with the Ferrari family - the richest family in Italy and Europe.

He's just waiting for his daughter to come back to announce this to this her.

Today, he saw his only daughter again snuggling in his hand with smile etched on her face.

"Ahem!"

"So I'm being left out here, huh?" A women's voice sounded beside them. Zeta broke the long embrace with her father and looked in the direction the voice pealed from.

"Aunt Rosa!" She hugged the woman. "It's been a while, aunt. I'm glad to see you again." She said.

Rosa is Enzo's mistress, who he stayed with after his wife's demise.

Rosa took care of Zeta like a mother. She loved and cherished her throughout the years prior to Zeta's migration to Singapore to further her education.

"Welcome back, baby girl. Italy has been waiting for your arrival". Rosa asserted whilst pecking Zeta's cheeks.

"Thanks, aunt. Shall we?" Zeta said and stepped into the car.

"So finally, you are now a graduate?" Enzo asked as he veered his head back at Zeta, who's sitting with Rosa in the back passenger's seat.

"Yes, Mr Moretti. Time to join the business world!" Zeta exclaimed.

"You never did relent pursuing your goals, do you?" Rosa chipped in.

"Wo! Never. It's still bubbling insides me. I want to pursue my dreams; that's one of my reasons for coming back to Italy". Zeta responded; her face looked daring. She knitted her brows while saying these words.

Coming back to Italy isn't just to announce her engagement to her father. It's also to join other tycoons and navigate the business world.

"Very determined, Zeta. Let's see what you've got." Enzo threw glances at her and said. He believes things are better now since he biggest foe hadn't shown up in years.

'Maybe he's dead. Good for him. At least I can have a semblance of peace and rest assured of Zeta's safety.' Enzo mused inwardly, looking straight ahead as he drove the car.

Rosa held Zeta's hand and led her to the dining table to have dinner. The table was filled with different Italian cuisine, with its aroma piercing the air. Zeta's stomach growled upon perceiving the tantalizing aroma of the food. She quickly rushed the fish dish served at the table. She loves fish dishes a lot. When her mother Aurora was alive, then Zeta was ten years old. She would make a scrumptious fish dish for Zeta, especially when she's sick.

Zeta missed her mother a lot about that. Although Rosa tries to make a fish dish for her whenever she's chanced, you still can't compare its taste to her mother's.

The servants ladled the food on their plates and drizzled soft wine in the goblets before stepping a few inches away from them.

"Aunt Rosa, it seems this chef is an expert. She has good culinary skills; I must commend her. Are you the one that employed her?" Zeta said in between mouthfuls of food.

Rosa smiled, nodded, and said, "the moment I heard you were coming back, I had to employ a chef with high culinary skills. I know you must have missed Italian dishes a lot since you were away".

Zeta exhaled and excitedly responded, "missing Italian dishes is an understatement. I was dead craving to eat one since I was in Singapore. Although I grew accustomed to some of the local dishes there, it can't be compared to that of Italian".

After hearing her words, Rosa flashed a lovely smile at Zeta and said, "I knew you would miss it a lot."

Enzo silently ate his food. He kept throwing gazes at the two women conversing in front of him. Actually, Enzo was trying to maintain his table manner, which is expected of a noble. Deep within him, he was over-excited seeing the two women that mattered most to him chatting and doting on each other.

Before Enzo made Rosa his mistress, he gave it a great deal of thought. He loved Zeta so much and only wanted a woman who cared for her as her mother would. Luckily, he met Rosa when he went to the city mall to pick up some wears for Zeta years ago. At first, he was caught off guard by Rosa's beauty. She resembled Aurora a little. She had sparkling emerald eyes like Aurora and was precisely the same height as Aurora. That day, Rosa unknowingly bumped into Enzo when she was looking for the best clothes to get for her nephew. Embarrassingly, she muttered 'sorry' to Enzo and tilted her head downwards. It was Enzo that called her back and requested her contact. As he grew enamored of the woman because of her seeming resemblance to Aurora, Enzo became undeterred in making the woman his mistress.

As he had ever wished, Rosa had a kind heart and cared for Zeta like her own daughter. Looking at the two women broaching, a gentle smile lit up Enzo's face.

He lifted his hand and caressed Rosa, who's sitting close to him. Rosa glanced at him, and he beamed a smile at her.

"So, dad, how's the company flourishing now? I hope you are making massive progress recently?" Zeta asked. Enzo looked at her; a smile hovered on his lips. He nodded and answered," you should know who your father is. We always make daily progress. So, my dear Enzo Winery is constantly growing".

Zeta's heart pumped with excitement. She loved how hard-working her father was. This is the reason her father would always remain her role model. Although Enzo is rich, he doesn't inculcate a lazy attitude in his daughter. At Zeta's early age, he had started teaching her what the business world entails. How to survive, and ways to augment a business. He taught her how to communicate with people to politely win their trust and heart.

Learning these tricks even helped Zeta freely communicate with people outside the business world. When she was at Curtin University, Zeta was very popular. People liked to have social intercourse with her due to her brilliance and politeness. Only a few people could tell she was from a wealthy family in Italy. She blends with people that you would even think she's from Singapore.

Only her closest friend Beatrice is the first Singaporean she befriended, and the love of her life is Bryan Tan, a popular travel blogger, knows her true identity. Others view her as a Singaporean.

"I'm glad to know that Enzo Winery Ltd is blossoming. Now that I'm a graduate of business management, I will help in the little ways I can to facilitate the growth of our company, dad," Zeta reasoned.

Enzo's heart hitched upon hearing Zeta reason such a thing. This was the last thing he ever expected from her. Initially, Enzo thought Zeta would insist on venturing into another business, but his heart leaped with joy upon hearing this. At least, now that Zeta spouted this, carrying out his plan wouldn't be a hard knot to crack. 'That means this marriage contract will be a success. Wow, thank God. Enzo thought.

He moved his eyes to Rosa, and she winked at him and revealed her attractive dentition. "Well, dear Zeta, I have longed for you to help me augment Enzo Winery Ltd. And as God may have it, you are highly intelligent. You know, inching higher in the business world is all about making connections and signing contracts..."

"I know, right? It's about contract and connection, seemingly". Zeta chipped in happily. Surprised, Enzo smiled and finalized in his heart that it was time to tell Zeta about his plans. Thus he continued, "absolutely, Zeta, it's about a contract. And I have signed a contract with the Ferrari family!" He exclaimed happily.

Zeta's mouth was agape upon hearing that her father, Enzo Moretti, signed a contract with the almighty Ferrari family. "Wow!" She wailed happily. "Congratulations, dad! Who could have thought you could successfully sign a contract with the Ferrari family that thousands of investors all over the metro and Europe are vying to sign a contract with?" Zeta articulated joyfully without waiting to hear the full details of the contract.

Rosa glared at the happy Zeta; she smiled and asked, "your father deserves an award, right?"

Zeta leveled her dentition at Rosa and exclaimed, "of course, aunt Rosa. He truly deserves an accolade. Dad, you are super amazing!" Zeta stood up and embraced her father. Enzo's heart was leaping with joy. He thought that Zeta would disagree with this idea. However, the full details are yet to be revealed.

Zeta went back to her seat and glanced at the servants smiling amongst themselves. Although Enzo Moretti, their master, has an insanely frigid demeanor, he is still a nice man and pays them handsomely.

Normally, he would ramp up their pay when he excitedly wins a new contract like this. So indirectly, Enzo's win is equally their win. His pain was indirectly their pain. And those that experience this mostly are Nicolo, his driver; Evander, his personal assistant; and Lucrezia, the female head servant in the villa.

Zeta stole glances at the servants and concluded in her heart that her father and aunt were truly nice to the servants to the extent that they were equally happy for her father's wins.

Zeta continued to eat as Enzo revealed the details to his daughter. He dropped his fork on the plate, clasped his hands together, and straightened his back before voicing out once more, "so like I was saying, my dear, Mr. Ferrari agreed to my proposal, and that proposal is marriage...".

Zeta furrowed her brows and spat swiftly, "marriage?" She thought inwardly, 'who's going to get married? Is her father bringing in another woman? Will aunt Rosa agree to it?'

"Yes, marriage. Let's call it a marriage contract". Enzo worded as he glanced at Zeta to see her reaction. However, the girl maintained her movements. She wasn't too shocked or worried. Thus, Zeta asked her father, "so who's getting married then?"

Enzo's face became serious.'Does that mean she really didn't grab the direction of this topic? Or maybe she's just pretending. Enzo said to himself inwardly. He arched his brow and looked Zeta in the eyes. He could still see the excitement in Zeta's emerald eyes. He blinked and uttered, "you!"

Zeta's mouth twitched upon hearing that. She stared wide-eyed at her father, laughed lightly, and asked, "me?" Pointing at herself.

Enzo's lips curved into a smile, and he nodded and spat, yes, Zeta".

Zeta's eyes fluttered wide open, and her mind sank into a daze. 'Wait! Dad signed a marriage contract between me and the Ferrari family. How possible is that?' Zeta's mind jingled with questions.

Enzo looked at his daughter; he noticed the seeming confusion in her eyes and explained further. "I want to venture into the fashion industry. Not only that, I want to cahoot with the Ferrari family to expand our wine company, with their help, our company will be more famous around the world. This is definitely a goldmine opportunity; we can't afford to miss Zeta. I hope you understand".

Zeta subconsciously blinked her eyes a few times, processing what her father had just worded to her. 'This is strange. I'm already engaged to Bryan Tan. Dang, it! I should have let my father know about this before now. He doesn't even know I had a boyfriend in Singapore!' Zeta thought.

All through the six years she spent studying in Singapore, she and Bryan had been dating. The famous travel blogger Bryan is the son of a big business magnate in Singapore but always hid his true identity. He chose to be a travel blogger, thus, right when he was in Curtin university in the travel department, he established a popular blog where he writes about different places to explore around the world. However, consequent to the fact that Bryan Tan is a travel blogger, he had the opportunity to travel to different places around the world, digging up the history of so many places and sightseeing sceneries in any historical city he visits.

Zeta and Bryan first met in the cafeteria where they came to eat. Bryan was the first to approach Zeta and introduce himself. He became enamored of Zeta right from that day, and as time passed by, he asked Zeta to be his lover. The two of them thus started dating each for over six years. It was at their graduation ceremony that Bryan Tan proposed to Zeta.

Being that Zeta loved Bryan so dearly, she acceded his proposal in hope's that she will tell her father when she returns back to Italy.

Zeta was utterly confused about what to do. Thus knowing that she can't revoke her engagement with Bryan Tan, Zeta mustered the courage to break the news. She slowly lifted her once tilted head, glanced at her father, and worded, "Dad, I'm already engaged to someone."

Shocked, Enzo stared wide eyes at Zeta. Rosa, who was about to slide a spoonful of food into her mouth, subconsciously dropped the spoon; this made a clattering noise that echoed in the dining room. Enzo tilted his head and glanced at Zeta with his dark eyes; he spoke with a frigid voice that could freeze anyone in the room, "engaged to who?"

Zeta's body was shaking; her heart thumped in fear. She angled her face towards her father and answered, "to Bryan Tan. He has been my boyfriend all this period I was in Singapore. He proposed to me at our graduation ceremony, and i..I accepted his proposal". Zeta stuttered.

Enzo's face turned pale; this was not the daughter he raised. Zeta would never keep such a thing discreet from him.

Never!

He angrily banged the table shaking all the plates and goblet on the table. Some goblets fell and splattered on the floor. The servants that were standing there shook in horror. They have never seen Enzo stepping on a rampage, and to think it was because of his beloved daughter.

Enzo stood up from his seat and nabbed Zeta's shoulders; he pinched her face and asked, "why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?! Was that what I sent you to do in Singapore?" He roared.

Zeta was wobbling in fear. No, she hasn't seen her father this angry before. It was all her fault. She should have let the cat out of the bag since. However, she never knew it was going to be like this. Zeta so much dotes on her father that she is conscientious enough not to anger nor disappoint him. But looking at the situation of things now, she can't easily atone for her mistakes.

Rosa stood up and rushed to Enzo; she gently grabbed his hand and tried to reason things to him, "Enzo darling, you will hurt her. She's your daughter remember. Please caution yourself so you won't regret the afterwards."

Enzo sighed and looked at Rosa; if not for this woman, he would strangle Zeta with his hands, but like Rosa said, if he did that, he would regret the aftermath; thus, he had to caution himself and control his anger. Swiftly he let go of Zeta's shirt and sat back down on his seat.

He directed his murderous gaze back at his daughter, whereas Rosa went and stood behind him so that he wouldn't make an impulsive move toward his daughter. Rosa ever so slowly caressed his back. Enzo balled his hands into a fist, ogled at Zeta, and said, "I have already signed a contract with the Ferrari family, and you will marry the heir of the Ferrari family.

I have crossed the Rubicon, and my decision is final!" With a chilling voice, he uttered these words. However, Zeta, who had doted on Bryan Tan for over six years, couldn't accept such a contract. The decision should be hers to make, not her father's. Is he trying to be in control of her life? It's not supposed to be like that. She's a sophisticated lady and a graduate of business management to top it off. So how could her dad want to be chief controlling her life?

Zeta twisted her head to indicate that she didn't concur with her father's decision. With the tears plummeting her eyes, she looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, dad, but I have to disagree with your decision. I can't marry anyone else except Bryan Tan. He's the man I love. You can't sell me off for material gain."

Enzo's lips curled up into a disdainful smile. He threw a daggering look at Zeta and spat, "as I said, I have crossed the Rubicon. This decision can't be revoked." After spatting these words, Enzo stood up swiftly and clambered the stairs to his room.

While he was stepping out, Zeta shouted, "I know my priority dad; I'm a graduate and sophisticated. I can make decisions for myself. You can't sell me off to Ferrari's heir or whatever he his. Bryan is my lover!" Tears streamed down Zeta's face contorting her once delicate and beautiful face and eyes.

Enzo slammed his door the moment he stepped inside. He ruffled his hair, pinched his nose, and hit his hand hard on the dresser in the room.

"How dare Zeta accept someone's engagement without Informing me first. Who does she think she is? Someone I sent to Singapore to study literally went there and engaged the son of a nobody, and she has the temerity to call him the love of her life in front of me!" Enzo muttered, and a sinister laugh escaped his lips.

"She must marry Ferrari's heir. Must! Else my plan will be ruined". Enzo ruffled his hair angrily.

Back in the dining room, Zeta was shedding tears uncontrollably, and Rosa tried to comfort her all to no avail. Rosa patted Zeta's shoulders and said," Zeta pull yourself together. Crying would not help issues; it will only add wood to the already burning flame".

Zeta hiccupped and said, "but why? Why can't I marry the man I love? Is it only me that's born by a business magnate like dad? I'm not interested in this contract. I can never be! Bryan and I love each other, and I can't sever ties with him Just because of dad."

"Shush, Zeta, you are not the only one born by a big tycoon like Enzo. But candidly speaking, this is how business tycoons survive in the business world. If one doesn't take leap like this, then he would be kicked out of the business world. It's not easy for him too. He's struggling to make earns meet. He's doing it for you, my dear Zeta. Try and understand your father.

I also understand your plight; I can tell you really love that Bryan guy, but as you can see, he's not even an Italian, to begin with, nor does his family belong to the business world."

"If I may ask, what does he do for a living?"

Zeta looked at Rosa pitifully and answered," he's a big-time travel blogger. Bryan travels to different countries because of the nature of his job."

Rosa arched her brow and said in a muffled tone, "travel blogger? That's not something I fancy, and neither will your father consider him worthy of being your husband. Moreover, what does his family do?"

"I haven't met with his parents, just his siblings," Zeta said truthfully. Rosa twisted her head disapprovingly and said candidly, "it can't work sincerely speaking Zeta. You don't even know what his parents do for a living. So all these six years you guys have dated, you haven't for once set eyes on his parents?"

Zeta shook her head and said, "Bryan always says his father is a busy man, and for the mother, she's in London; thus, she hardly comes home to Singapore."

Rosa sighed and shook her head. "This is weird. No matter how busy his dad is, at least he's in the country. If that Bryan truly wants you to see him, he will make out time for it, but he doesn't. Listen, baby girl; I wouldn't want you to end up with a man of low class. A man that can't fend for you. I want you to aim higher. Never settle for less. Look around you; you can attest to the kind of family you came from. The Moretti family. One of Italy's most wealthy families. Don't you know, people will be looking to see the kind of husband you will marry. And if you end up with a lowly man like that Bryan, it will defame the reputation of the Moretti's family."

"I don't want that to happen, therefore, sit up and grab this opportunity before you and augment your family's reputation." Rosa candidly spat.

Zeta glared at Rosa as tears welled in her eyes; this confirms that even her aunt Rosa would never side with her. Her words prove she's going to take her father's side and ensure she marries the so-called heir of the Ferrari family.

Pain, despair, and anger encircled Zeta's heart. She never thought this would end up like this.

Now, what's she going to tell Bryan Tan. How is he going to feel? Of course, he will think Zeta cheated on him. He will assume this was her plan because he pleaded with her to come over to Italy and introduce himself to Enzo, Zeta's father and make his intention known but Zeta said it's not yet time... Bryan will not easily let this slide. Besides, this is his six years of being faithful and loyal to one girl despite what his friends told him. Despite the number of women swimming around to grab his attention. Zeta was flustered and helpless.

After saying these words, Rosa gracefully stood up, ruffled Zeta's hair, and clambered the stairs to their room.

Alone in the dinning, Zeta burst into tears. The servants tried to console her but she refused to stop. When Rosa arrived in the room, she saw Enzo curled up on the bed and sprawled his hands with his face angled at the ceiling. You could tell from his position that he was helpless and dazed.

Zeta groggily stood up from the dining and trudged to her room upstairs. The moment she arrived in her room, she went and slumped onto her bed. Still, tears wear plummeting down her eyes.

Chunks of memories she shared with Bryan started racing through her mind. It was just like yesterday; she met Bryan. His demure eyes are what Zeta loved the most. Whenever she stares at those eyes of his, warmth flow through her body. Bryan is very fun to be with. He's the only one that makes Zeta happy, and now that her father is forcing her to end up with some unknown guy, will she be happy with him?

Zeta is not the skeptical type; she believes in giving the benefit of the doubt but looking at the situation now, she can't help but be skeptical.

At that exact time, Bryan Tan came to his favorite bar with his buddies Lindsay and Tyler. The trio had smiles on their faces as they stepped into the bar. Their looks usually draw people's attention, and if care is not taken, the person is left in a trance.

The trio sat at a space in the corner of the bar, and Lindsay called the waiter, "get drinks for us." He looked at his friends and said, "Bill's on me, guys." Lindsay was happy for some reason, and that surprised his friends. It was unlike Lindsay to order drinks for them, to talk more of paying the bill. Lindsay glanced at the surprised faces and laughed, "I know you probably wondering why I suddenly want to pay for bills, right? Okay, my Visa has been approved!" He cheerfully said.

Bryan and Tyler stole glances at each other, and their jaw dropped. "Your visa?" Tyler subconsciously asked while bulging his sparkling eyes at Lindsay.

Lindsay chuckled and nodded his head. Lindsay has been applying for Visa for over three years to move to Italy, but his application has been denied until today." I just got a call from the travel agent this afternoon and was asked to come to the embassy. I went there, and to my surprise, they approved my Visa, guys!"

Bryan stared at his friend and cheerfully congratulated him. Traveling around to different places was never a problem for him. Aside from being a travel blogger working with a travel agency, his father is a famous tycoon. Thence you can call Bryan a noble. But his friends are just living on average. Bryan was happy for Lindsay; at least moving to Italy meant starting a new life.
