'Have you heard, the Carnations are moving to LA!

OMG I thought it was a rumour!

No! They are moving here, they say Giovanni is moving here permanently.

OMG OMG do you think we could catch a glimpse of him?

Phs, girl you're dreaming to big! He is a celebrity. Alede's brother that's who he is.

Yea, but hey, a girl can dream!'

The two girls' conversation faded into the background as I walked away to tend to my other customers, but their conversation had me shook.

Giovanni will be coming here. Permanently! Well, shit.

It's not like we'll meet. But life is a sadist bitch. And Giovanni is a phycho. I don't want to meet him, like ever. But he doesn't know I'm here so as long as I stay alert and away, I should be safe.

But who am I kidding, I'm friends with Marco, the rising star, Alex the star of the entertainment city, Lucifer the business tycoon, Flare the best tattoo artist and me myself am know as the sly minx in the business and entertainment world. I am steadily rising as well, so chances are I'd meet him and my family.

Tsk.

Oh well, if I meet them I meet them. What's the worst that could happen. I am an independent adult now. I have been for a long time and it's not like they ever cared for me.

Gio, took over dad's company the day the turned twenty one. I was long out of the picture by then. Adele was married with a kid.

I saw him in the TV that day. I was twenty-five and had just opened my pub. We were sitting at Gwen's bar sipping beer when I saw him in the television.

I was confused at first. Gio was never interested in business. And given his nature there was no way he'd give up on his dream, of becoming a chef. But I soon saw what he did their.

As soon as he took over, he turned the company upside down, and took full control over it. He expanded it using risky means and now it's the largest food franchise company in the country.

I couldn't imagine my father's red face and mom holding him back as he tried to hit Gio. He always had been the aggressive type.

"Miss, can I get another Pandora's Kiss" someone called out form behind.

"Sure, one Pandora's Kiss coming right up." I turned back with a smile.
