An Italian's Virgin Escort Series novel Chapter 94

Niccolo Point of View

"Mr. Russo, I got the result from Mr. Robinson's executive." My secretary walked inside my office holding the contract papers with Mr. Robinson's chocolate factory from North America. "They agreed to sell us on our terms." She exclaimed with a victorious smile.

I smiled back at her and shook her hands for working hard alongside with me. Although I got interested in Chocolate production due to Bella's love for them, I soon realized that they make good profits and great business if made right choices.

"Fabulous. Get the new contract ready and ask Mr. Brown to set the terms accordingly. Once he is done, get the completed contract to me for a revision so we can go further." I instructed her, giving her the necessary documents in a USB. She nodded and scurried out of my office in an urgency to complete the task.

I picked up my mobile with a smile when it pinged with latest news from the news app. Clicking on it, I found my smile widen when the headlines blinked in bold letters.

Pulling out my other phone, I dialed the number of the person who gives me the sparks of immense joy at every moment of my life.

"And here I thought our story was dramatic and full of tears to even get people invested in it." I mocked playfully once the line connected. I received a graceful laugh as a response to which my smile widened even more.

"Well, seems like I have good literature skills then." My beautiful Bella responded lightly. I raised an eyebrow and realized she couldn't see me from her phone.

"Keep telling yourself that and one day you might convince me. But seriously, how come your book was selected by one of the best directors to make it into a film?" I asked her faking curiosity.

The day we decided to give each other a break to settle things between us, Bella as promised continued to work in Nonna's mansion with her usual job while I returned to the city to continue my work.

Bella did apply for the University I suggested after four months but unexpectedly, she opted for Literature and Cultural studies. I knew she loved communications and gadgets a lot and it was her long tern dream to have a degree in it but when Nonna asked her about her unexpected decision, she said she is far away from the goal she used to have fourteen years ago and also she wanted to do something which reflects her life.

I still didn't understand her reason for choosing literature but it was only after three months from then that a book titled 'An Italian's Escort Lover' has gone haywire with popularity. Though it was written using some other names, it was still our story.

The first thing she did after the decision to give each other sometime was to write her life story and publish it. She had started writing it immediately under the pen name 'Bella' and later with the help of few literature classes; she improvised it and published it with the help of Serene.

It was her first book and it was also first books to publish by Serene's publishing house as well. The book has received the love and fame very soon and it almost got popular overnight.

She received much fame and popularity for the story and the emotions she has depicted in the book but unknown to the people, it was our own emotions. Right now, a director asked for the rights to make the book into a movie seeing how popular the book got over a small span of time.

Truly said that a free bird can adventure beyond skies. These days our relation with each other changed too. I didn't know before that my Bella can be playful and a prankster and I can be very mindless around her. Before, I used to consider her feelings before speaking anything so as to not hurt her but these days, I mock her, taunt her and flirt with her mindlessly without much care and she takes everything in a playful manner.

There is this spark and cheerful vibe around her these days which I very rarely used to see in the past. The sides we have hidden deep down are slowly surfacing with the changes that are taking place.

"I received a call from Serene a few days ago telling me that this producer is interested in my book. After meeting up and going through the process, I agreed to give them right to make a film. I wanted to ask you or Nonna for an advice but then, I want to make my own decision this time and experience the outcome even if it leads to something bad." I grinned at her words and almost patted myself for being there for my Bella.

She did the right thing. You need to experience success and failure by yourself to learn and I'm so proud of her.

"You did right. Oh, yes I totally forgot. I cleared your bank loan with money you transferred." I said remembering several trips to bank my secretary has made.

"Thank God. Please bring your secretary to the opening tomorrow, Nicco; or please give her the phone I will invite her myself." She said loudly with many background noises from her side. She must be busy rushing to complete the work.

"I still don't understand why you are so keen on opening a pet cafe when you can start a solid business with the money you earned from the book." I rubbed my stubbles, leaning back to my desk.
