A Year With The Billionaire

Isabella's POV

After putting on a logo bodycon dress, Alejandro’s driver got me and we drove to the villa with my heart thumping wild in excitement.

We couldn't visit the villa yesterday because Alejandro said so. He only took me around the surrounding areas for sightseeing and in just one day, I have seen a lot. But it wasn't enough

I have been awake since the break of dawn in anticipation of today’s tour. Alejandro said it would be best to visit the villa in the morning or late afternoon which is why he asked me to go back to my hotel yesterday.

I jump down, wondering where Alejandro is when he appears from nowhere with a big wide grin on his face.

“ll Mio Amore”, he spread his arm out and I hug him, paying a deaf ear to the way he called me his love When I release myself from the hug, I know I should have rolled my eyes at him instead.

Before I can say anything, he grabs my hand. “Let's go visit Romeo and Juliet.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

My excitement comes back and I almost jump up. I am about to ask him how long we would walk when I see a large crowd in front of us. Itis more like a hallway leading to somehow and I need no soothsayer to tell me where we are.

Maybe Alex wanted to surprise me but the Juliet Wall gave it away. I always saw the Wallin pictures and seeing them in reality now makes my mouth drop in awe

“Verona is the 4th visited City in Italy”, Alejandro speaks, his Italian accent back stronger than ever before as he drags me further in We move past the wall with crowded people and I glance around in utter amazement

“And this was as a result of Shakespeare's claim of Romeo and Juliet in the city of Verona, even though he never visited Verona.” He continues as we venture in.

“His other play..." He trails off, stopping abruptly and looking like someone in deep thoughts.

He must be trying to remember Shakespeare's other plays. “The two gentlemen in Verona?"

“Beautifull’ He compliments me with a wave of the hand, making me smile.

He continues again. “In November 2000, the city was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.

Just then, we get to the courtyard and there is a statue of who we presume to be Juliet. I gasp, my hands leaving Alejandro whe is still rambling on without knowing that I am in a different world entirely.

I can feel the tears brimming in my eyes as I watch the statue and how people are gathered there trying to touch her. I snap my head around to see the balcony.

There was a balcony in the book, Romeo and Juliet. The balcony is there in front of me, decorated with freshly cut-out flowers The building structure is extremely old but it surprises me how much people can value things no matter how ancient tis. Despite being old, everywhere locks extremely beautiful, reminding me of every action in the book of Juliet and Romeo.

1am emotional because I could never have imagined myself at this age in Verona. I used to think it would take me years of harc work to be able to save up for a trip here but here I am all thanks to Jayden.

If have never felt any gratitude towards him before, then now, I can feel it. I feel grateful to him for this opportunity. For making my dreams come true.

To me, the play was just fiction but right now, standing in the middle of the courtyard with the statue of Juliet in front of me and the balcony up the grand staircase beside me and a lot of people going in and coming out, it feels real

The story of Juliet and Romeo feels real and I doubt if Alejandro’s claim that Shakespeare wasn't here is true.

How could he have made it this real? He must have been here to listen to their stories

What am I saying?

“Bella?” Alejandro’s voice jerks me out of my reverie. “Are you alright?

I nod my head vigorously and answer. “Just overwhelmed."

Ohl” He only murmurs, laughing to himself as we stand watching the statue together.

“This feels real”, I break the silence, holding onto my other hands tighter.

Legendary’, Alejandro corrects and I know what he means by that. He doesn't believe that it actually happened. “The house belongs to the Capullos and it dates back to the 13th century. Scholars have opined that the description of the villa tallies with that of the house that was said to have been occupied by Juliet in the play’, he pauses then looks at me. “They called it Juliet's house.”

Silence creeps in.

“Should we go check out the tomb?" He asks, his intense eyes boring into me.

“Juliet's tomb?” I ask again to be sure, the scene racing through my head. Scenes of the play. He nods and I shake my head before folding my arms around my bosom 1am thinking of how I can get to touch the statue and take a picture of it but there are people crowded around the place like bees released from their beehive.

“I want to touch her’, I say with a pout. “The tomb can come later *

He laughs shortly and grabs my hand. “Let's go touch her then

We saunter towards the statue and when we get there, we are left to find a way to touch her. Alejandro does a great job of squeezing me among the crowd, allowing me to touch her legs.

In a whisper, starting me. “It is believed that if you put the breast in your mouth, you would find love."

look back sharply, almost losing my place beside the statue. What does he mean by love? I am supposed to be excited about but why is he saying it when he knows that I am married to Jayden? Does he not believe me?

“Get up there and do it", his voice is loud as I see more people coming toward us.

Without hesitation, I jump up trying to touch her breast. I thought touching any part of her body will make the belief come true but now that Alejandro says it is something else, then I have to believe him.

He knows everything more than I do.

I can't reach her and I take a step on the podium which will make it easier for me to take her b***t in my mouth

Suddenly, I realize what I am doing. Struggling to get her b****t in my mouth just like every other person around me is doing Is this even hygiene? Everyone will have their saliva on her, I think inwardly in iritation

I will make do with touching her bt

Out of nowhere, I feel something pushing up from the ground and I realize it is Alejandro. He places a foot of mine on the podium, making me tall enough to touch her bt.

With his hands stil on my legs, so I won't fall off with the struggles everywhere, he shouts. “Grab her breast and take it in your mouth.”

Even if I want to do that, it isn't possible now. There is someone's mouth on her b™**t and he looks desperate

I target him and when he takes his mouth off, I grab it in haste before anyone else attacks it with their mouth

A euphoric feeling of satisfaction fills me up and I shout

Alejandro must have realized I had achieved my goal because the next thing I feel is my legs on the floor and I pull him into a hug in excitement

“You got it?” I nod and disengage from the hug.

Let's go see the tomb and come back for the pictures”, he takes a hold of my hand and we tum around to go when something hard hits my face and I find myself falling to the floor.

Alejandro grips my hand tighter to stop me from falling and another hand grabs my other hand which stops me halfway. This is when I realize I have bumped into someone and he is the other person holding my hand. He pulls me up while Alejandro’s mouth is agape with shock flashing across his eyes.

“Ym so sorry’, the person apologizes when I try to even my breath.

I shake my hand and look up at him. The first thing that catches my attention is the blue eyes that look just the same as Jayden, then his full brows and the smile he flashed me.

1...should be apologizing”, I find myself stuttering and adjusting my dress.

He continues to smile as he examines me carefully. Then, he stretches his hand for a handshake. “I am Romeo, what is your name?" My jaws drop open and my eyes widen. “Romeo?’
