The gardens in the Ferrara family home are unmatched. If only he was traveling instead of panicking about what would happen later, Carlotta would have thought he was in the heavenly garden. Lots of trees planted there, until the number may beat the government-owned nature reserve. The atmosphere is really beautiful. Carlotta didn't expect a place like this to be in the center of Rome.
They still had to drive a bit further by car before the main house came into sight. The house itself is no less amazing than its vast gardens. It is like a medieval castle. Composed with ancient red bricks and rare granite floors. There is no house of a wealthy Verona family comparable to this house. Carlotta does not doubt the omnipresent unwritten assertion that the Ferrara family still has anything to do with the ancient Roman emperors.
Giacomo parked his car carelessly in front of the castle's main door.
Just as Gio forced Carlotta out, the two-story door opened and Alessandro came out.
"Carlotta! I just wanted to get out to see you, but you came here!" Alessandro exclaimed enthusiastically.
Carlotta was forced to stumble behind her brother because her big brother's arms were wrapped around his back like an iron shell. Alessandro, who had just come out, had a big smile. His expression changed drastically when he saw that there were people who dared to touch Carlotta carelessly.
'Who exactly is that guy?' Alessandro was angry.
Alessandro walked quickly through the grass and approached the two uninvited guests.
"What's this about? Who're you?" Alessandro pointed to Giacomo. Anger started burning him from the inside. He pulled Carlotta to his side. Carlotta staggered a bit, but Alessandro caught her quickly and propped her up so as not to fall.
Carlotta is so beautiful today. Her clothes are no longer worn. His face looked fresh, and his skin looked well-groomed. Alessandro wanted to admire the beauty of the woman, if only the big man in front of her was not there.
"He's my brother." Carlotta said slowly to Alessandro.
Alessandro. "You don't have a sister."
"You don't know anything about my sister apparently." Gio fishing.
Alessandro squinted at Gio. His hands were tightly clenched. "I've known him since he was eight and never saw him have a sister."
Carlotta held Alessandro's chest to calm the man down. "He really is my brother. She left home when I was seven. Of course you don't know."
Alessandro looked at Carlotta with doubt. "really?"
Carlotta nodded.
Alessandro's anger slowly evaporated. If you look around, this big man in front of him does have some resemblance to Carlotta. Their irises were both brilliantly bright blue. Their hair was equally blond which was gently choppy. Then, the shape of their lips are both the same as the rose bud.
"Ah, forgive my disrespectful attitude. I'm Alessandro Ferrara. It's nice to meet you." Alessandro reached out to shake Giacomo.
Giacomo smiled cynically. "I'm Giacomo Marinelli. And I'm not so happy to see you."
Instead of shaking Alessandro's outstretched hand, Giacomo thrust his fist into Alessandro's jaw. Alessandro who was unprepared for the surprise attack fell on the grass with a thud. Carlotta screams in fear.
A few of Alessandro's bodyguards stormed out from various directions while brandishing guns at Giacomo.
Alessandro raised his hand, preventing his security forces from advancing further. He stood up and rubbed the blood that appeared at the corner of his lips.
Giacomo recalls Carlotta doing the same for him years ago. He laughed and brushed his hair back in annoyance. Apparently, Carlotta really loves that guy. Equally great, or perhaps greater than his love for his brothers, including himself.
"Carlotta, you need to stop being a shield to others. You must learn to stop sacrificing yourself!" Giacomo sounded very, very angry.
Carlotta started crying. "Don't hurt Alessandro, Brother..."
Alessandro pulled Carlotta by the waist until she was in his arms. "You don't have to protect me, Carlotta. I can face it."
Then, Alessandro glared at Giacomo. "What's your problem with me?"
Gio laughed out loud. "You think you can get away with your family's big name after you abused my sister?"
Alessandro. He immediately felt guilty. His hands are no longer clenched. Also true. He deserved a blow from a member of the Carlotta family. Instead, he now appreciates the man who just hit him because he only wants to protect Carlotta's honor.
"I'm sorry and I'm sorry." Alessandro says. "And I'm ready to apologize a thousand more times if it can ease your feelings. I'm really sorry."
Giacomo spit in the grass. Disgusted with Alessandro's self-defense. "You think apologizing is enough? You got my sister pregnant! You think I'd be willing for my niece to be born outside of marriage?"
Alessandro. Carlotta could feel the man's body stiffening by his side. The man's jaw is hard. His eyes were as sharp as a knife. "What did you say? I impregnated Carlotta?"
When Alessandro sought the truth in Carlotta's eyes, the woman could only bow, refusing to return Alessandro's gaze.
Then, Alessandro shook Carlotta slowly. "Tell me the truth. Who's the father of your baby?"
A tear fell on Carlotta's cheek. "You... Alessandro's..."
Alessandro remained expressionless for a few seconds. He needs to digest this information well.
"If Carlotta were to be my wife, she would stay here with me. You can go home." Alessandro said to Gio.
Gio pulled Carlotta's arm, bringing his sister closer to his side. "No. You're getting married, but she's coming with me. You abused her once. I don't know what other evil things you're gonna do to him."
Alessandro pulled Carlotta's waist back to her side. "I'll marry her in its entirety, not just on paper. He'll stay with me."
"Enough is enough!" Carlotta hastily broke free from the clutches of the big men before her. He took some distance from the two, then said, "This is my life. I have the right to decide how to live it."
The two men fell silent, awaiting his decision.
"I'll stay here for a while, brother..." Carlotta said to Gio. "I need to talk to Alessandro."
Alessandro was still standing stiffly in his place. His face was flat without revealing what he was really thinking. Carlotta knew he had to explain something. Anything. Alessandro must be angry. Carlotta did not know who Alessandro was angry with, but Carlotta knew full well Alessandro's anger had to be appeased immediately. If left to drag on, Carlotta could not imagine what crazy thing else the man could do.
Giacomo raised his hand. "Well if that's what you want. You can call me anytime if you want me to pick you up."
Carlotta nodded. Giacomo walked up to Carlotta to kiss the top of his sister's head, and saw Alessandro become fiery from the corner of his eye.
Giacomo grinned lazily at Alessandro. "Be careful, Carlotta. Your future husband seems jealous."
