A/N: Here is the newest chapter! I'm sorry if people are still confused with the concept of the story. Betty DID choose Henry and is planning on marrying him. She just diddnt have the will power to tell Gio yet, and she wanted him to be happy.

As usual reviews are appreciated and I thank you for all your opinions on this. I am very glad that people are enjoying reading this, no matter what ship they are. There's going to a couple of more chapters left for this so keep reading!

Thanks to Erin who is helping me edit and make this better.

Shoutouts to the people at I-C who are shiznits and they rock my socks. Also to the NLA who meets every night in chat! We can help each other out! lol. And of course to anyone who reads and reviews this. Thanks again!

Three Weeks Later

I gather up my things and put it in my luggage, except for the change of clothes and such for the next day. Today is our last day in Italy. This trip has been so nice. The sights were amazing, the food was even better. The weather was perfect except for a few days of rain. Overall the trip was just about perfect. Except for one small thing. Gio was the one on this trip with me. Not Henry, the man I am engaged to.

It has been so hard pretending to be interested in Gio. It's so hard to pretend and hide the fact that I am committed to Henry. I wish I can rip the ring off the string and slip it on my finger, where it belongs. I hate keeping these things from Gio too. Gio is my friend and I can trust him with things, and I believe he trusts me also. I'm just dreading when I have to tell him the truth and the friendship we have made will come crashing down.

We take a cab into the city and look at the sights once again. Seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Spanish steps and riding the gondolas around the town. We stop at a bistro and order some lunch. In the middle of the conversation, I feel my phone vibrate. I take it out of my pocket and I see his smiling face in the caller ID. I look at Gio who is curious.

"Hey, it's my dad. I'm gonna go outside so I can hear him better ok?" I ask. He nods and I head outside the building. I press the "answer" button.

"Hey." I say.

"Hi my love." I hear his voice through my ears. "Today's the day."

"I know. I can't wait to get home. I miss you so much."

"I know me too. I'm even in New York this weekend so I can come pick you up sort of. Well, I'll meet you at your house, with your family."

"Soon to be yours too." I smile into the phone. I can just sense that he is doing the same, with that big smile of his. I just think about when I told my family what I was going to do:

"Betty, are you CRAZY?" Hilda screams.

"No! I think it will work. I will just go to Rome with Gio so he can be satisfied, and then just let him down gently with it. He knows that I love Henry, and that we wouldn't work well together. We get on each other's nerves too quickly."

"Mi Hija," my dad starts. "Are you sure this is going to work? What about after the trip when you have to tell him? Or what if Gio finds out before you plan on telling him?" he asks.

"Papi, trust me. This will work." I say grabbing onto my bracelet…

"Oh yeah, you told me that conversation was crazy." He says.

"Yeah, it was. In speaking of that, how was seeing them after I left? I never had gotten around asking you."

"Well naturally Ignacio was skeptical and was interrogating me. Hilda was excited, and Justin stayed neutral as usual. But I think when you get home there will be a nice conversation about this. I can see it already." He laughs.

"Well, what else would you expect from my family?" I laugh with him. I fumble around with my bracelet, playing with the ring slipping it on and off.

"True. Well I should let you get back to Gio. So your flight comes in at 7:00 my time?"

"Yep. I miss you and I can't wait to see you and start our lives together again."

"Me too. I love you Betty."

"I love you too Henry. Bye." I say before I hang up my phone. I walk back into the shop to a more impatient than usual Gio, sitting at the chair, bouncing his leg up and down. I sit down at the table and finish eating my meal.

"How was your dad?" He asks.

"Oh, he's fine. He can't wait till I come home." I say.

"Yeah." He says. "I'm full. You...uh wanna head out?" I finish my bite of food.

"Sure." I say. He gets the check and pays it. As we walk out, I notice that Gio didn't even eat half his meal. He always eats the full meal. He doesn't like wasting food that that his fellow hardworking creators of the meals made. As we walk around he seems agitated and he was snapping requests from some of the vendors and such.

We check out the markets, looking at the items up for sale. I look over at a stand and I see it. I see The Wedding Dress. It was so beautiful and radiant that I wanted to just take it home with me and walk down the aisle with it now! I can picture walking down it, all eyes on me, but all I see is this pair of brown eyes behind his glasses, looking at me in that way that's only reserved for me…

"See something that catches your eye?" Gio asks, coming from behind me.

"Uh, no. Just looking out for a few things." I say.

"Looking for your wedding dress for when you marry Henry?" He says his voice cold as ice. I turn around, completely dumbfounded at him, my mouth open agape. He seems so mad, yet sad and depressed at the same time. I can see the tears forming in his eyes.

"What did you say?" I ask, in complete and total shock…
