~BACK IN ITALY~ Gabriella dialed Gemma's number for the hundredth time today and it kept saying the same thing."The number you're trying to call is not reachable"She slammed her phone hard on the table and this made her colleague at work jump off of the table in fright."The fuck, Gabriella! You scared the hell out of me!" Elena said."I'm so sorry, Elena, it wasn't intentional" Gabriel apologized."Of course, it wasn't intentional!" Elena sarcastically replied."You've been lost in thoughts these days and always distracted at work. Madam is starting to complain, what's wrong Gabriella?""It's nothing. I'm fine" Gabriella replied."You're sure? You don't look fine" Elena said as she eyed Gabriella from head to toe."Yes, I'm fine" Gabriella replied and flashed her a smile."If you say so. Get your ass up from there, we've got so much work to do" Elena said as she walked away."Gemma, where the hell are you? What the fuck is happening over there? Why can't I reach you?? I
Margaret's eyes fluttered open on the hospital bed. A blurry vision of the ceiling came into her view. She closed her eyes and opened them again, this time the ceiling was clearer in her eyes.Out of confusion, she looked around and realized she's laying on a hospital bed in her private hospital room.What happened? Why is she here?She managed to sit up and saw her maid laying on a chair in the hospital room. She's fast asleep."Grace" Margaret called.Her maid quickly stood up from the chair she's sleeping on. She scratched her eyes and yawned, then searched around for who called her."Madam, you're awake. Thank God" she said."What happened to me? Why am I here?" Margaret asked."I heard you scream last night and ran into your room. You're bleeding and completely passed out" Grace replied.Then Margaret suddenly remembered."My baby, what happened to my baby?" She asked in disbelief.Grace was about to reply when the door suddenly opened and the doctor came in."Miss S
Vanessa and Margaret sat on Margaret's bed. Vanessa flew down straight to Italy when she heard of what happened to her best friend.She's been in Margaret's house for the past two days when Margaret got discharged from the hospital and would be leaving the next day as she still has so many emergency things to do in the United States of America.Margaret seems to have gotten better with Vanessa's presence. She had already accepted the reality that she just lost her baby but that didn't stop her from grieving and crying at any slightest chance she got."Garet, I don't even want to leave you all by yourself tomorrow but I really have no choice and it's sad. I already took a few days leave and must be back at work immediately" Vanessa said as she watched her friend sulking sadly on the bed."I wonder if you'll be fine all by yourself. Take a look at yourself in the mirror. You're not being the strong woman I saw and fell in love with""I can't help it. Nessa, you know how m
Ivan was sitting in a dark corner at the club, smoking and drinking as usual when he saw a very gorgeous and sexy lady walk into the club.He almost choked on his drink as he stared at the beauty. He's been frequenting the club then going back to the hotel after he must have had his fill since he came to Italy but never has he seen a beautiful lady like this in the club.He looked around and saw that he wasn't the only one mesmerized by her beauty. Almost every man in the club was staring at her. He watched her as she walked to the bar counter, swaying her hips rhythmically. Her slow, sexy movements caused an arousal in his manhood and he forced himself to look away from her before his situation got worse.He was finally able to remove the thoughts and images of her from his head when suddenly he heard a commotion. The men in the club were jeering, cheering and laughing wildly.He stared at the source of the commotion and saw it coming from where the beauty goddess sat. Sh
Margaret was really drunk but she was conscious of someone tucking her into bed. She's suddenly in her bed and she doesn't know how. Her eyes were closed and she's breathing weakly.Then she opened her eyes and saw Antonio before her. When did he get here? Did he come here to take care of her? Did her maid call him over?And wait! Is he about to leave?She quickly held his shirt to stop him from leaving, then she sat up immediately. Ivan was about to leave the room when he felt something hold his shirt. He turned and saw the beautiful woman holding his shirt. She's sitting up with a weird look in her eyes. He gave her a questioning look but she tightened the grip on his shirt."Antonio, please don't go. Don't leave me again. Stay with me" she pleaded with a shaky voice.Did she just call him Antonio?Who's Antonio by the way? The guy who made her drink a lot and get drunk tonight?"I'm not Antonio" Ivan replied and tried to free his shirt from her grip."Don
The next morning, Margaret opened her eyes to see a stranger laying on her bed beside her. Out of shock, she sat up on her bed immediately. She wanted to scream but suddenly held her head in pain. Her head was banging.She stared at the stranger and oh her goodness! He's freaking handsome…. almost as handsome as Antonio. He's sleeping peacefully and snoring slightly with worries.What if she strangles him to death while he's still sleeping? Who sleeps comfortably in a stranger's bed? She likes his guts though.But what was this man doing on her bed? What happened??Then she remembered, from the incident at the club to the strange man bringing her home and everything that happened afterwards. She'd instigated everything. She quickly covered her face in shame. She'd mistook the stranger for Antonio."Come off it, Garet. It's just sex and it was a mistake. Besides, the sex was worth it. He really knows how to fuck" she said.Vanessa would laugh the hell out of her foolis
~GEMMA~ I paced around the room worriedly. I was losing my mind.Antonio just informed me that I would be supervising the exchange of hard drugs and to make sure everything goes well as my first mission.He came into the room and laughed when he saw my worried state."Are you that nervous?""I've never done something like this before" I retorted nervously."This is the easiest of the things you'll be doing for the crime family. You shouldn't fail in this or else you won't be trusted with other operations and the crime family might want you dead" Antonio told me."But….""Luca is going to be with you. He's been teaching you for weeks now" he said.I immediately relaxed when I remembered Luca will be with me and Antonio noticed it."See, you're calm now" he said."So what time is it??"I asked."The time and venue would be communicated to you later" he replied.Just then, we heard a knock on the door."Come in," Antonio called from within.The door opened and Luca in his magnific
~GEMMA~ Luca and I got close to them. It was then I noticed they're holding guns and my heartbeat skipped a million times and I didn't know when I placed my hand in Luca's hands.Luca was also with two guns in his pocket and here is me, who stupidly came out of the van without a gun to protect myself or even Luca.I must be so stupid and foolish to allow myself to be so vulnerable like this. I held on to Luca's hand.He squeezed my hand tightly but quickly let go of it."You don't have to show them that you're nervous and scared," he told me."Take a deep breath and relax. Remember I'm here with you"I nodded my head, took a deep breath and I was able to relax a bit. I summoned courage and soon we're standing in front of the men."Luca" one of them called and they exchanged pleasantries. The men were three in number."Is everything complete?" Luca asked them in Italian. I could hear him because I now understand most of the Italian language."Yes, it's all in the truck" one of th
