~GEMMA’S POV~ I watched as Margaret made her way towards me. I didn't hide the contempt on my face. She had a sinister smile on her face. Luca kept standing beside me on the bed. He didn't want to leave my side."Look who we have here!" I spat out in scorn, when she got close to me."Chill. Calm down" she replied, grinning wickedly."I heard you got shot. The Almighty Pink butterfly got shot? Oh my! I couldn't believe it" Her shrill voice rang out in a mocking tone."And not only that, you failed the operation!!" She exclaimed, and threw her hands up in the air in a dramatic way."Are you here to mock me?" I asked."No darling. I came to check up on you. Hope you're good?" She teased."Margaret.." Luca called and I interrupted him. I knew he's about to say something in my defense."Yes, I'm perfectly okay" I replied Margaret, with a fake big smile on my face."You should thank your stars that you're Antonio's wife else you wouldn't be saying that now. Sir Edward would have dea
~GEMMA’S POV~ *Three months later* I've become so popular and skilled in the mafia and crime family. I've made a very big name for myself as I've handled so many operations successfully.I was a terror to many. People hear my name and they're suddenly scared of me. Pink Butterfly was a big name!!!I've become fearless, bold, courageous, in control and was scared of nobody, including Antonio.Margaret has also redeemed her name in the mafia and crime family. She's handled operations successfully and has begun to regain the trust of the crime family including Antonio and Sir Edward.I was not really happy about it but there's nothing I could do about it. I hate the fact that she got close to Antonio but I'm not really bothered because I don't love him. Luca's the one I'm madly in love with. It's confirmed now that I'm in love with him and I'm sure he loves me too but he's never told me and was still keeping things slow and it pisses me off.The r
~ANTONIO’S POV~ I was sitting on a chair on a round table. Margaret was sitting beside me while Mister Alex sat opposite me. We're working on the Pink Butterfly's release."I want to make them believe that the pink butterfly has nothing to do with the murder of your brother, Raymond," I said to Alex."I give you my word Alex. Pink Butterfly had a very close relationship with your brother. She just wanted to make sure that the group transaction ran smoothly. That's why she was there when your brother got killed" I explained."Don't you worry Antonio. I've been talking to the family" Alex replied."Thank you Alex," Margaret said."And don't worry, we'll keep our end of the bargain. We won't stop our search until we finally find the man who killed Raymond'' Margaret added."Well, we'll go a long way before Pink Butterfly can finally clear herself from this" Alex said."But what about the takeover? Are we going to have problems with that?" Margaret asked."No
Margaret has done her part by clearing Pink's name and looking good in front of Antonio, but she has a bigger plan coming up.She was with one of her underground boys in her office"Money is no problem. Name the price, as long as the job is done. I don't want any butterflies in my life. In my life with Antonio" she said to him puffing her cigarettes.They were both scheming an evil plan when a call came in on her phone."Ma'am Margaret, the court case is about to start" her caller had informed her."I'll be right there," she replied.**** Now, she's in her car with Ivan driving her back to the office.Ivan. She felt pity for Ivan. She knew he likes her so much but her heart still yearns for Antonio. She's obsessed with Antonio and Ivan knows but he wouldn't stop loving her and it made her feel pity for him.They've had sex so many times and she enjoyed every bit of it. She knew she had a tiny spot for Ivan, some tiny feelings for him but it was nothing compared to what s
Jessica and the guard got to the door of the Pink Butterfly's room. The guard was about to knock on the door but Jessica held her hands back."You don't have to knock. It's a surprise, remember?" She said to the guard."But…." The guard started to protest but Jessica shut her up."I gave you ten thousand bucks" she chided."Alright" the guard said reluctantly and opened the door quietly. Jessica walked in quietly.Pink Butterfly was sleeping on her bed when she walked in. Perfect! ~GEMMA’S POV~ I don't why but I started having bad feelings. Something bad is about to happen. Antonio had called earlier with all excitement to inform me that I would be getting released tomorrow.I was excited and have been in high spirits during the day but suddenly I have this eerie feeling that something bad is about to happen.I laid back on my bed and closed my eyes, trying to force myself to sleep. I need to remove all negative thoughts from my mind and prepare f
Margaret had driven straight to Antonio's house that night after she'd given Jessica and Boris the instruction to burn the prison and had confirmed the explosion. She's going to Antonio's house so that she wouldn't be suspected.She got to Antonio's house and was allowed inside since they all know her. She walked straight to Antonio's room, knocked on the door for a while then opened it when she got no response. Antonio was sleeping on the bed and she's going to spend the night with him. Her best night. Pink butterfly is dead!!She walked over to the bed and sat on it. Gently, she stroked Antonio's sleeping face."You're all mine now, Antonio" she said, and stared at him lovingly. “All mine”She bent and kissed him lightly on the lips. He stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes. He closed his eyes back and slept off when he saw her.Margaret started singing him a lullaby while she stroked his hair gently. She laid beside him and cuddled him and was just about to sleep
GEMMA I opened the dressing room door and walked wobbling to the stage amidst loud and cheering noises. I got to the stage, climbed it and stood at the center of the stage. I closed my eyes nervously, exhaling and inhaling. I opened my eyes and stared at the large crowd cheering at me and waiting for me to start performing.I knew how weird and irritating it felt dancing in front of men old enough to be your father because I've been working in this club as a waitress for a long time and had seen everything that's going on, but here I am, on this stage, about to dance almost naked.This is my first time dancing almost half naked in front of everyone."Just do it. Just one night, if you dance well, you would get enough money to settle your debts once and for all" my best friend's words replayed in my mind.It was hard for her to bring up this suggestion but she had seen how I've been living a miserable life and living from hand to mouth while trying to pay back the debts my father o
GEMMA"Gemma, the boss wants to see you," Manager Stacy said.A puzzled expression wiped across my face. "Why?"A huge man came in behind her."I see you're changed already and about to go home but you can't do that now. The boss wants to see you" Manager Stacy said."We've been in this shit longer than you and the boss has never called any of us privately to dance for him. You just danced for the first time tonight and suddenly he wants you dancing for him privately. You've sucked your way to the top" Aria said with disdain in her voice."I didn't do anything," I retorted."You'll have to wait outside, let's get her dressed up" Manager Stacy said to the huge man.He left the room. Manager Stacy went over to where Luna was and fetched a dress. She handed me a nude exposing dress which I wore and shoved me onto a chair. She asked Luna to make me up. In fifteen minutes, Luna did her magic and I looked beautiful, sexier and older."Don't feel special, the boss just likes your pretty face

~ANTONIO’S POV~ I watched Gemma struggle in her sleep. I watched her call her mom and Gabriella so many times. She's sweating profusely. She's been asleep for almost two days.Then she finally woke up panting hard. The first thing she asked about was Luca and the way she asked about Bryan when she woke up with so much concern in her voice pissed me off.“Gemma, you're awake. Are you fine?” I asked her and tried to wave my anger off.She nodded her head.“You've been calling your mom and Gabriella in your sleep. You never said anything about your mother. Is she still alive?” I asked.She bursted into tears. I was surprised at her outburst at the last question I asked. She's crying so bitterly. I went closer to her and held her by the shoulders.“Gemma, what's wrong??" I asked, my facial expression and voice etched in concern.She couldn't speak as she kept crying. I sat beside her and placed her head on my chest, stroking her hair and calming her down. She calme
Margaret was so happy that Antonio just called for an emergency meeting now. That means things didn't go as planned. The operation failed."Yes!!" She screamed loudly."Let me see how you escape this Pink Butterfly," she said, grinning from ear to ear.She picked up her laptop, laid properly on the bed and joined the video call held by the crime family."Everyone complete?" She heard Sir Edward ask."Yes"they all chorused."The operation tonight failed," Antonio announced.Murmurs came after the announcement. After a while it died down."The police got involved. We don't really know the full story of what happened yet" Antonio informed."How did the police get to know about it?"Helena asked."Yes, I thought information about the operation was confidential" Bridget supported."What about the Pink Butterfly? Why isn't she here?" Rossi asked."She is at the brink of death. She got shot by the cops, Luca too. Right now they're receiving treatment" Antonio replied."Wow!" Margaret screame
Margaret paced around in her sitting room, she's restless and curious as hell. Her ears were itchy to hear the outcome of the operation. She had slept for a while, then woke up to see that it's not a day break yet. She checked the time and saw that it's way past the operation time, she should have gotten some news by now.What really happened??Was the operation successful?Were they caught by the police?Was there a shootout? If there's one, she just prays that the Pink butterfly dies in the shoot out."Arghhhh" she screamed, and scratched her head furiously. She's really going crazy, and couldn't wait anymore to have the answers to her questions. ~ANTONIO’S POV~ The gate opened and both my cars drove in. The doctor was already in the sitting room waiting. He drove a hospital van with all necessary equipment accompanied by three nurses. The gatekeeper locked the gate after the cars drove in.I rushed to the parked cars and my boys came rushing ou
