Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Mariano stares at the lovely Eva in Jamaica as they lay by the pool. He wondered whether he had made the wrong decision by not going on his honeymoon with his true bride. Then shook the thought out of his head. I knew we would have to go to the Bahamas, where my bride was to take a few pictures. No one could find out about Eva. I had to stay married to Olivia to access my trust fund.

At first, I was going to have Eva stay in Jamaica. Then I decided against it. I couldn't leave Eva in the Bahamas. So we check into the Resort. Then I considered returning to the desk to see if my wife had checked in. She canceled the reservation at the resort. I was beyond mad at this situation. This is going to make my plans complicated. Now I have to try and locate my bride. Olivia had to be still on the island. She probably rented one of the bungalows along the beach. Then I received a call from my day about why my prolonged honeymoon. I had to think quickly; she said she wanted to shop more.

Then I decided to contact one of her bodyguards to locate her. She is a billionaire wife, so she will always have a security detail.

Well, she rented two bungalows. One for her to reside in and another for her security detail. Currently, she is out shopping. Then later, she plans to hit the beach.

I told them not to let her know that I was there. I decided to take Eva shopping. You've never guessed who we see. My lovely wife is looking beautiful with a black man. She is laughing and having a good time. Honestly, it had me feeling some way. I expected her to look depressed because I abandoned her on our honeymoon.

Then again, we never got the chance to form a bond. I watched for a minute as they left out the boutique.

Later I finally decided to go by her bungalow. She isn't there. She saw me today. I didn't know; her security told me she had left on the jet. I need to get my picture for the honeymoon.

Olivia sighs; I've never been a woman. When he decided to delay our honeymoon to be with his mistress. Then I thought to contact my best friend, Derrick. At first, my best friend was pissed off when he realized I was alone on my honeymoon.

We shop and hang out at the beach. I saw him with his mistress since he dared to bring her to our honeymoon location. I decided to leave early. I'm meeting with some real estate agents.

I plan to open several businesses. Forget him. I don't need a man.

When I touch down in America, I immediately put my plan into action. My new net worth is 30 million dollars. So first, I contacted a real estate agent. Then I got my sister Olive to let her know what was happening.

+++++

My family close nit. When I contacted the father, he was upset. Then Father saw the logic in my plan. The papa agreed that we get the help our business needed and his lovely daughter could build her empire.

The first thing I did was purchase a home in a gated community. Then I fired my old security detail. I only kept one of the security. I made him the head of my security. He went into my new home, which was equipped with top-of-the-line security. My house had a three-bedroom guesthouse. My mini-mansion is nice. It has six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. It has a garden and an indoor pool. I have a basement that I'm using for a security room. I have two living rooms.

This house is fantastic. I even let my head of security move into the guesthouse with his family. His wife is going to be my house manager. They have two children, and I enrolled in a private school. Marco is the head of security. He hired his old friends from the seal to protect me. I even put a few details on his kids.

They are adorable 10-year-old twin girls. Mirabella and Annabella Russo. You know I had to hire Italians to protect me. I even had him install a new security system in all my businesses. Believe it or not, I talk to my father-in-law regularly. Well, I have been married for a year now. I have eight jewelry stores across America. Sometimes I design jewelry. It's always been a hobby of mine. My jewelry line is called Bella Di Vaio. Also, I have open ten salons where you get your hair, nails, tanning, waxing, and more. They are named Giordano's Lovely Spa. Next, I opened six gourmet groceries and contacted Giordano. We cater to restaurants mostly, but you can shop there with a membership. My most famous store is in Milan.

Another thing I did was to start a fashion magazine. Called Di Vaio's, it's making quite the name overseas. I may be a little vindictive. But I told them that Eva Pinfold would never be in my magazine. She is my husband's mistress, after all. She tried to get in it through my husband. They learned a good lesson that day. My brother-in-law Santos is running that magazine for me. He called me one day, discussing how Mariano tried to demand we let Eva in the cover.

He just left the office when he found out I own. Don't get me wrong; I don't stop her from working. However, she wouldn't get any money from me.

Next month my sister and I will be on the cover. We did a photoshoot for it last week. My sister Olive works alongside me, and we have tripled my net worth. Currently, I'm worth over 600 million dollars and growing.

Olive POV

To say I'm proud of my sister is an understatement. My husband Santo is working with my sister as well. He has been happier since he started working with my sister. First, when she started, it was me working with her. I don't like being away from the kids. So, Santos stepped up and started working with my sister.

My husband is going to be the CEO of the entire thing. He has helped more than triple her net worth. Currently, they are opening up a corporate office. She had a board of directors with who consent of my parents, Ricardo Di Viao, Nico, Santos, and us.

She excluded her husband, which is smart on her part. He married my sister and then abandoned her. Sometimes he is seen in magazines with model mistress Eva Pinfold.

I'm so proud of my sister; she is making a name for herself.

Her custom jewelry stores are where the significant money comes from. Next week we are having a major fashion show. To display her latest designs. We have actors, actresses, rappers, moguls, and government officials attending. Our invite list is exclusive.

We even invited Mariano to the event. I hope he needs to be more stupid to bring Eva. She will not be allowed to attend. Olivia wants the spotlight on her jewelry only. Mariano and Eva stay in the tabloids.

Mariano last saw or talked to his wife two years ago.

My father hasn't said a word to me. I recently went to Di Viao Magazine to get Eva the cover. Come to find out, and my wife owns it. She is brilliant and opens up various businesses.

Many people reach out to me to meet with my wife. They don't realize I don't talk to my wife, which is very sad indeed. I've lost a few business deals. I was invited to the Bella Di Vaio jewelry fashion show. I didn't know that she could design jewelry. She even set up a Bella Di Vaio corporation. My father and brothers are on the board of directors.

Any model that works in my wife's magazine becomes an instant success in the industry. My family loves Olivia; she is making a name for herself. At the same time, Eva is slowly starting to get on my nerves. I always notice that she needs more drive. She believes my wife has blacklisted her.

I tried to explain just because my name was attached. I don't have any control over who they book as models. My wife was on the cover with her sister Olive last month.

Now Eva is talking about how she is pregnant. I told her that she had to get an abortion. I'm a married man that will never leave his wife. Even though we have never lived under the same roof, she cried, discussing the baby as a symbol of our love. Then I explained that any child I have without Olivia wouldn't get my trust funds. Only the children I have with Olivia are eligible for that money.

I'm starting to believe maybe she is trying to trap me. She was supposed to be on the birth control shot. Then we use condoms as well. I don't understand how she is pregnant. She keeps telling me to divorce the wife and marry her.

I'm a Sicilian man, and we don't believe in divorce. If she were from where I grew up, she would understand—I decided to take her to the abortion clinic myself. I will not bring any bastard children. Then I'm going to break it off with her.

She is changing into a woman I don't recognize. First, I need to make sure she gets rid of the fetus.

Ricardo Di Vaio Senior

The day my son married Olivia was a happy day. Eva is a gold digger, and I knew she was trying to trap my son. I've always been able to sense a gold digger. He thinks I don't know he is still with her. I don't say anything because Olivia is doing well without him.

She has my youngest son running her magazine in Milan. It was always his dream to run a magazine. He has turned that magazine into a major success. Then my other son is running her gourmet grocery stores. They are similar to Sam's Club. From what I understand, they cater to restaurants, hotels, and membership to the public.

I own a percentage of the Bella Di Vaio Jewelry line. My wife shops there all the time. She is in the process of building her dream home. My daughter-in-law even invested with the head of security by opening a security firm. She only owns 25% of the business. I hope he wakes up and sees what treasure Olivia is before it's too late.

My oldest son has a crush on her. He has been taking her out on dates. He wants to marry her. Then we find out that they never consummated the wedding. She can have the marriage annulled.

What does my oldest son doesn't understand? Olivia may be maybe biracial, but she was raised Sicilian. Sicilian women have strong marriage values. Now I can see that she has feelings for Junior. They are often cuddling and laughing together. I should marry them together. It would have made a better match.

Ricardo Junior POV

I'm the oldest of the Di Vaio brothers. I've been spending time with my brother's wife. His forgotten wife, I can't believe he chose Eva over Olivia. She is a treasure and has a brilliant mind.

Last night she received an Image Award. She is only 22 and making great strides in the business world. Her net worth is 300 million dollars. Olivia started at 30 million. Within two years, she built it up.

I don't understand why he married her and walked away—he never consummated the marriage or anything. The money is in her name only so he can do nothing about that. She can get it annulled at any time.

An idiot is what Mariano is acting like.

He hasn't been home in two years since he married Olivia. We saw him in the gossip magazine with Eva Pinfold all the time. She is a fashion model. I heard she has been attempting to get Olivia's magazine. They talked about blacklisting her and even tried to try to sue her.

I don't understand how he can't see she is a gold digger. Now if he has a baby outside of the marriage per their contract, she can end it. My father told her to annul, not divorce. That way, she can go back to her last name.

Mariano isn't that stupid; he will never allow that to happen. He likes living the lifestyle.
