~Antonio's POV~ The phone in my pocket vibrated and I put my hands into my pocket to bring my phone out. It was Mateo. He's calling me and I answered the call."Boss, they're walking towards the garden right now, just laughing and gisting and nothing more. But they seem really close" he informed me."Keep watching them and keep reporting back to me" I instructed."Okay boss" he said and I ended the call.~Gemma's POV~ Luca and I were walking towards the big garden in the house. We had left the room to have our privacy because I told him I needed some fresh air. Meeting all those people was awkward for me. The sky was dark already but the lights in the compound made everywhere bright.We walked side by side holding our wine glasses filled with wine and taking sips as the cool breeze touched our faces and body."So how do you feel Gemma? You're being celebrated" Luca asked. We're alone now, so he can call me Gemma as he likes."I don't know, but I think I feel great. I know
Antonio was right about the voice and when he turned, Margaret was standing behind him."Margaret, what are you doing here?" He asked, anger evident in the tone he used."I sensed something was up, so I decided to follow you. Sorry if I intruded into your privacy" she apologized.***** Margaret had suspected something was up when Antonio quickly excused himself after he spoke to Mateo. He talked about checking something on his phone before he left and whatever it was, Antonio wanted it to be private.Her curiosity grew and she decided to follow Antonio. Slowly and carefully, she followed him without him noticing her.She saw him stare at something on his phone and saw his reaction and expression change from good to bad.Whatever he was looking at wasn't good at all, to see him react this way. He was punching the wall hard, causing bruises to his hands.Margaret never wanted him to know she followed him. She never wanted him to notice her presence, but she doe
~ANTONIO’S POV~ "Boss, what are you going to do about Madam Pink and Sir Luca?" Mateo asked me.I was sitting on my office chair, in my office, smoking. I sat back in my office after the party had ended and after everybody had left.Mateo stood in front of me bowing his head as he spoke.“I trust Luca so much and I don't believe he would do anything like that with my wife. He wouldn't betray me that way. Let them be for now, but keep watching them, in secret" I replied lazily. Mateo's head shot up, he's alarmed and surprised at my reply.“Let's give them the benefit of doubt. It could be a misunderstanding " I told him and he nodded."Alright boss. I'll do so" he replied."You can go now," I instructed him.He bowed his head and left the room. I picked my phone up and stared at the intimate picture for a while before putting my phone away in my breast pocket.I stood up, threw the cigarette on the floor, then stepped on it with my shoe. I walked out of the room and bumped
Ivan was driving Margaret home in her car after the party. The drive back home was silent and awkward as Margaret sat sulking in the back seat. She's looking sad, angry, depressed, frustrated, and confused and Ivan knows the reason why she's like that.It was Antonio! She's being this way because of Antonio! He saw how her eyes were just fixed on him since she walked into the party. It was as if she's pleading with her eyes for him to notice her.He saw the way she's looking at Antonio's wife with hatred in her eyes. He saw her follow him when he excused himself from the party room.All these could only mean one thing. She's in love with Antonio! How the hell did he not notice? Or is he pretending not to notice?“You like him, right?” He asked, breaking the silence.“Who?” “You like Boss Antonio. I saw the way you're staring at him” Ivan replied.“What the fuck are you talking about?” She replied harshly.“Don't deny it, ma'am,” Ivan said.“What's your business with that? Now, shut t
~ANTONIO’S POV~ During the video call when Sir Edward asked who I was going to choose to assist Gemma for the operation and when I chose Luca, I saw the way Gemma's eyes lit up in happiness.Does she like him that much?We had the video call in the private meeting room and Luca left the room immediately the video call ended.Gemma excused herself and said she's going to our room minutes later after Luca left.Mateo and Marco were still standing in the room.Mateo raised his hands and signaled that he wanted to say something, so I asked Marco to give us some privacy.“What is it? Mateo?” I asked.“Boss, you shouldn't be giving Madam Pink and Sir Luca more chances to be together since you already suspect them” “Are you telling me what to do now?”“No, boss. I'm sorry boss” he apologized."Don't worry about that Mateo, you should just keep watching them" I told him."Okay Boss" he replied. ~GEMMA’S POV~ The day went by slowly as I waited for the
Margaret quickly walked to her room when Ivan entered his room. Thank goodness Ivan was able to stop himself if not they would have had sex in her bar, and what if her maid, Grace sees her?She could still feel the tingling sweet sensation inside her body. It's not like she didn't want the sex to happen but she would have berated herself for giving in to him so easily. She could understand that the first one was a mistake because she's drunk and was able to forgive herself but if she should allow another one to happen, she'll have no excuse to give.She didn't want to sleep but she needs to sleep to force whatever is going on right now in her head out of her head. And so, she drew the blankets up to chest and closed her eyes to force herself to sleep.And if everything goes as planned, she'll be waking up to good news. ~GEMMA’S POV~ I sat quietly beside Luca in the car on our way to the operation. Luca was driving while I just sat back playing with my fi
D.P.O Francisco was sitting on the chair in his office, going through some records in a book when a call came in. He picked up the telephone and answered the call."Hello, it's the police. I'm D.P.O Francisco, how may I help you?" He asked."Hello. There'll be a secret and deadly operation that will go on by two at new avenue" the voice at the other end replied. It was a woman's voice."Hello, who's this?" He asked. He was surprised at the sudden information."It's not important. You know what to do with the information I just provided" she replied and ended the call.He stood up from his seat still trying to figure out what he just heard. The woman said a secret and deadly operation will go on by two am. He checked his time and saw it's twenty minutes past one."Officer Michael" he called out."Sir!" Michael replied, and rushed into the office immediately and made a salute."How many officers do we have on duty tonight?" Francisco asked him."We have thirteen officers on duty Sir"
Luca asked Gemma to run to the car. She's his main priority, she should be safe first. He counted the remaining cops, they're three remaining. He and Gemma had taken four officers down during the shoot out. He could take the remaining three officers down on his own.Gemma stood up and started to run to the car, then suddenly he heard a gunshot. Luca followed the sound of the shot and his eyes landed on Gemma. He watched her pause, watched her hold her stomach and his eyes went wide in shock. She's been shot!! The clicking sound of a gun close to him made him remove his gaze from Gemma. He turned towards the sound of the gun and he saw the officer trying to shoot at Gemma again. Instantly, Luca shot at him and the officer dropped dead. His eyes went back to Gemma and he saw her fall to the ground."No, no, no!!" He screamed. Rage brewed up inside him as he watched the woman he loves fall to the ground in pain. She's bleeding profusely.The remaining officers shot at Luca but he w
