Hi..
.
.
The next day..
In the morning..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(softly) Bella, is it really important for you to go..?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(looks at him) Yes, uncle. I need to say something to Grandpa..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods) OK..
Alfredo and Bella drove to the Langley mansion.
.
.
In the Langley mansion.
Every one were having their breakfast..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Alfredo messaged that he would be here within thirty minutes. Also, Bella is coming too.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(clench his fist) ❄️Why are they coming here?
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️ Why can’t they come ? And I think it’s good. You both can spend some time together. You are too busy with work that you even forgot your own fiancee.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(bangs on the table and stood up)
Every family member flinched after Matt banged on the table..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(dark rude voice)❄️❄️ If those two do anything nonsense today to force me into doing something that I don’t want, then I will shoot them on the spot in front of you all..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(looks at him angrily)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(shouts) 💢💢MATT !! IS THIS THE WAY I RAISED YOU..?
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
❄️❄️ Matt !! How could you speak in a rude tone with elders..?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️💢💢Mom, dad, (points at his grandpa) He has destroyed my life by getting me engaged to that woman. And I agreed it like a fool. You both also didn’t have any courage to go against him. Have you both ever tried to understand me.. ? (shouts at them) HAVE YOU..?
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
(scared by seeing Matt’s behaviour)
Marcos Langley (ML's cousin)
(eating pancakes peacefully) * He finally lost his mind..*
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(stood up from his seat) (cold yet calm voice) ❄️ Alright, do whatever you want. No one will stop you. But later, don’t regret your own actions.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ I’ve never regretted anything in my life. And I know it won’t happen in the future either.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(Went to his room)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(regretful face) Everything was my mistake. If only I didn’t force him.
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
(goes towards Abram)
Carlo Langley (ML's dad)
(put a hand on his shoulder) Dad, everything will be alright..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(nods)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(to butler) When Alfredo and Bella arrive, please tell them to come in my study..
Manservant
(nods) Yes, master..
.
.
Alfredo and Bella arrived in the Langley mansion..
Manservant
(smiles) Hello Mr. Vento, Hello Miss. Vento… Please, come in.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Hello..(smiles)
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods) Hello..
The butler took them to Abram’s study.
KNOCK !! KNOCK !!
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️ Come in..
Manservant
(opened the door and went inside the study) Master, Mr and Miss. Vento is here..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️ OK.. Let them in.
The butler went out of the room and told Alfredo and Bella to enter inside.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Hello, Mr. Langley..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(bows) Hello, grandpa..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Hello, hello.. Please have a seat..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(sat on the couch)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(sat beside Alfredo)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(sat in the couch in front of them) How are you, Bella?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
I’m good, grandpa..😊
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Alfredo, how is your work going on..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Well, the company is now in a better position.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
If you need any help, please do ask me.. Don’t hesitate.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods) I will, Mr. Langley
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Mr. Langley, I came here today for some important matter..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Yes..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(gives him a check)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
🤨
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
What is it..? 🤨
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
This is the repayment of the loan that my brother has borrowed from you..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
* Loan.? Dad took a loan from grandpa ?*
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Alfredo, I said to you that I didn’t want this money. Why are you so desperate to give me this amount..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Mr. Langley, please take it. You’ve done so much for us. Moreover, it’s a huge amount, which keeps weighing on my shoulder.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
I request you to please take it..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(looks at the cheque)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Sigh… (takes the cheque) Alright. I was happy that you came here for my help but I didn’t know that you would make me sad by returning this money.. 😒
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(smiles slightly)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Uncle, can I have some private conversation with Grandpa.. ?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(nods) OK, I will wait for you near the car..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
🤨
.
.
As Alfredo was passing throughout the hallway, he spotted Matt on his way.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(saw Alfredo )
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(ignored Matt)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Mr. Vento..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(stops )
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(looks at Matt) Yes, Massimiliano. Do wish to say anything..?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(put hands inside pocket)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️May I know your reason for your visit..?
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
I think it’s none of your business..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(Went away)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
💢💢 * Fùçķìñĝ bast@rd..*
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
But did he come alone ? Didn’t that woman supposed to come too..?
Marcos Langley (ML's cousin)
(drinking juice) Oh, she is still with Grandpa..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️When did you come here..? Didn’t you go to university..?
Marcos Langley (ML's cousin)
I will go later..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Your principal complaint about you for bullying other students.. (warning) ❄️❄️I don’t want to hear all this nonsense about you from any outsiders.. Get that in your brain..
Marcos Langley (ML's cousin)
(rolls his eyes) Okay..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(Went towards his room)
Marcos Langley (ML's cousin)
🤨 * But who dared to complain against me..? *
.
.
In the study..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Grandpa.. (fidgeting her fingers in nervousness )
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Yes, dear (looks at her being nervous)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(clench her eyes) I.. I want to break off the engagement..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(shocked) What !!
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
B..but why..?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(looks at him) Grandpa, being tied in this engagement will only bring pain to both of us. (bitter smile)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️ Have Matt done anything to you ?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(forced smile) No, no.. He didn’t say anything to me. It’s just that we are not meant to be together.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
I hope we both can find our own happiness in our lives. Maybe it will be painful for me to forget him, but I will try my best to erase my feelings towards him.
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
❄️ Are you serious about breaking off this engagement..?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(hesitate for a bit)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(clench her dress) Yes, I want to break this engagement..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Sigh…
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
* I think it’s better..*
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(removes the ring from her finger)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(keeps it on the table in front) Please, give this to its original owner. It was never mine from the beginning..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(looks at the ring)
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
(feeling bad for her) Bella, I’m sorry.. Because of me, you’re forced to be in this painful situation.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(smiles painfully) Grandpa, to be honest, I was never forced. I decided to get engaged to him because I loved him and thought that after he got engaged to me, then he might fall in love with me eventually, but it never happened.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(controlling her tears) Maybe I never understood him and just forced him to fall for me..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
Fine Bella, if that’s what you want..
Abram Langley (ML's grandfather)
* it’s better to break their engagement..*
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
🙂
