Antonio sat in his office with Margaret sitting opposite him. He was going through a paper in his hands while Margaret sat, watching him read.He raised his head up after he was done and stared at Margaret."This operation is a serious one. We would be smuggling in lots of cocaine and other hard drugs" he said."I know, Antonio," Margaret replied."And so I can't trust you with the job," Antonio said.Margaret's eyes flew open. "Why?""Because you ruined the last one," Antonio replied. "I wouldn't want you ruining this because I won't forgive you like the last time""What happened last time was a mistake, it won't happen again. You need to trust me, Antonio" Margaret defended."I trusted you the last time and what happened? You fucking messed things up" Antonio retorted."I made a mistake just once" Margaret said, her voice slightly raised, anger simmering inside her."I've always been competent before that incident and you know that. That's why I am your personal assistant""Luca wil
GEMMA I was shocked and surprised as I wasn't expecting him to be home by now. I go near his daughter during the day and at night when I'm sure that he will be back soon, I stay far away from her.I quickly let go of Isabella and stood up forcefully.He walked towards me like a predator seeking to devour his prey, slow yet dangerous, calm yet burning with anger."How dare you?" He growled, rage dancing in his eyes.I stared at him, tongue tied, searching for what to say."Answer me" he commanded in his deep baritone voice."I didn't do anything bad" I said with a raised voice.I really didn't do anything wrong by hugging the little girl. She needed comfort."What?" He asked, somewhat amused by my tone of voice.I glanced at Isabella and saw that the little girl was surprised at what's going on as she just stared with her eyes wide open."Emilia, take Isabella away from here and to her room" he instructed Emilia.She did as she was told and came downstairs almost immediately.Anton
Antonio went back to his room with his manhood still aroused."Arghhh, that was nice" he said when he sat down on his bed.He just had a good time. He never knew that fucking Gemma's butt hole would give him so much pleasure though it was painful to her."Serves her right" he said aloud and wondered what the hell she's doing with his daughter.Though he had suspected that Gemma was getting close to his daughter but he didn't have enough evidence and as Isabella and Nanny Emilia refused to say a word to him about it, he decided to let it go.Now coming home today and seeing Gemma embracing his daughter gave him every evidence he needed, undeniable evidence!!He had gotten so angry at that sight because Gemma had disobeyed him and more angry because of the bitter truth- That his daughter already likes Gemma!He knew Isabella, she would never get close to someone she doesn't like, considering the fact that she's so picky and reserved. But seeing her hug Gemma meant she likes her and that
GEMMA I laid on my bed after I had taken my bath but couldn't sleep as I was feeling so hungry. I checked the time and saw that it was past 12 in the morning.I didn't eat anything after Antonio came home and saw me with his daughter. And right now, I was really hungry.My stomach grumbled again and I sat up holding my belly.I needed to eat something and right now I wasn't sure I'm going to survive the night if I didn't eat.I came down from my bed, wore my flip flops, opened my door and walked out of my room.I was heading to the kitchen. I doubt there is still leftover food but there's no harm in checking first, right?Gently and slowly, I tiptoed down the hallway so I wouldn't wake anyone up. I got to the staircase and descended the stairs slowly.I walked straight to the kitchen, turned on the lights, opened the pot and saw that it was empty.I became sad immediately and my stomach grumbled again reminding me that I needed to eat."I'm sorry but there's no food for us" I
GEMMA I suddenly felt nervous when I heard that Antonio is back. Why now that I was starting to enjoy myself in the house??Why now when I could finally walk around and do whatever I like in freedom?There was a knock on the door."Come in" I said aloud.The door opened and nanny Emilia came in."Antonio is back" she informed me."Really?" I faked pretense."You should come down and say welcome to him" she said. "And I think he bought lots of gifts for you""Lots of gifts? For me?" I asked.I was astonished. Nanny Emilia must be wrong. Antonio wouldn't get gifts for me."Alright, I'll come down now" I managed to say.She nodded her head at me, smiled at me and left my room.I took a deep breath when she left and arranged myself. Then I opened the door and walked out of my room, closing the door behind me. Once I reached downstairs, my eyes trailed to a huge pile of gift bags lying in the middle of the sitting room. I walked over to it with my jaws ajar."Did he buy all this f
GEMMAMy eyes widened in astonishment at what I just said and my mouth flew open. For a few minutes, I couldn't say anything.Antonio wants me to eat dinner on the same table with him?I remember the last time I ate on the same table with him, I got severly punished. Now he's asking me to eat with him?What has gotten over him today?He's being so nice to me today. First, he bought too many gifts for me, then he returned my phone to me and now he's inviting me to have dinner with him. Wow!!"Surprised, ain't you?" He asked and chuckled softly.Geez!!!Did he just chuckle??I scratched my eyes to ensure I wasn't seeing things and cleaned my ears to make sure I was hearing well. This time, he laughed out loud."You heard me clear Gemma. Eat with me tonight" he repeated.I wanted to ask why, but I didn't dare to question him."Okay boss" I replied, bowed my head at him, opened the door and walked out of his room.I ran to my room excitedly, still not believing I have gotten my phone back
GEMMAI stood up from my bed, went to the door, opened it and walked out of my room.I trotted happily along the long hallway and descended the stairs with smiles beaming on my face.I walked to the kitchen and I saw Nanny Emilia set to prepare dinner just as I expected."Nanny Emilia" I called happily."Gemma. Your face is glowing with excitement, you look so happy this evening. What's the secret?" She teased.I laughed out loud."Nothing Nanny Emilia. I'm just so happy" I replied."Because of the gifts Antonio got for you?" She asked."Uhmm, yes…and I got to talk to my best friend" I replied."Really? You have a phone?" She asked."Yes. But it got seized and I just got it back now" I replied."Wow, that's nice. I see Antonio is starting to change towards you" she said.I nodded my head positively. I was tempted to tell her that he asked me to eat with them on the same table but I wanted to see her reaction when she sees me sitting on the same table with her, Antonio and Isabella."W
GEMMA Antonio's cold and cruel eyes made me very nervous that I didn't know when my spoon slipped out of my hands and fell hard to the ground."Careful" he barked at me and I almost jumped off my seat in fright."What's wrong dear?" Nanny Emilia asked."Nothing….I'm…I'm fine" I stuttered as I bent to pick my spoon from the floor.Antonio's eyes were still fixed on me, watching every movement I made.I wondered why he's looking at me that way. It was a dangerous look, a look he gave to me whenever I do something bad or go against his rules.What wrong did I do?I began thinking hard of where I went wrong when suddenly Antonio's words replayed in my head."Your calls are being monitored"My eyes widened at the sudden realization.Wait! Does it mean that he heard all my conversations with Gabriella??Damn it!!!**** Antonio watched the conflict of emotions going through Gemma's face. He saw the confusion, surprise, shock and panic on her face. She met his gaze and q
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
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 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
~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
~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
~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
~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
