Molly’s POVBeing with Gianni, danger has become a normal occurrence that I am no longer afraid to face as long as he is with me.His mother was dangerous from what I had gathered so far, but I knew that Gianni would find a way around her. My trust in his abilities was immense.“I could have died being bullied, and what name would that have given me?” I asked, enjoying the blend of emotions in his eyes. “Even if I die, I would die fighting and not like the coward I was before,” I responded to his question. His lips met mine, his kisses passionate.“Don’t worry. I would never allow anything like that to happen to you, okay?” His gaze was soft as he asked, and I smiled.“I know.”He didn’t believe me before when I said all I wanted was him because when the food arrived, we didn’t give it any attention.Gianni was all over me, his tongue rummaging through my walls as he gave me countless orgasms. I knew it was going to be a long night because he hadn't even started yet.The next morning,
Giovanni’s POVSpending the night at the hotel was not a bad idea, but I hadn't forgotten about my mother. As soon as Molly went to the bathroom, I called room service to prepare an English breakfast for us and ordered clothes for both of us. Then, I called our family doctor, Dr. Jean, on the phone. "Don Jean, I need a favor.""Anything for you, Gio," he responded smoothly. I couldn't trust him, but I couldn't make my mother suspicious by using another doctor without the cheek swab.Dr. Jean would be the only one to get the sample without raising my mother's suspicions, but his loyalty was with my mother."Thanks, doctor, but I want this to be a secret, and I'm willing to pay."The silence at the end of the line was not surprising, and just as I was about to convince him further, he spoke up again. "You don't have to.""I insist. Five million for your silence," I said directly. He agreed. "Deal.""Good. I want a maternity DNA test performed between me and my mother.""Why? You don't
Molly’s POVAfter the incident involving Wesley, my sister Kiara, and me, I initially found it hard to trust Gianni. However, recalling the first time we had sex, I realized his words were genuine.If Gianni had been involved with Octavia, she would have been responsible for that aspect of his life, but clearly, she wasn't.My only conclusion is that perhaps he was intoxicated, which he denied. This leaves me wondering if he could be fathering another man's child, but their eyes are strikingly similar, and I suspect Roger resembles his mother in other areas.Patience became essential to prevent myself from going insane. I don't want to disappoint Gianni, who, unlike Wesley, has always protected and respected me.Later, Nora picked us up and drove us to the mall. This time, I made sure to explore other brands before visiting the Dawson store. As we entered the first shop, I felt like my old self before the scandal.There were whispers around us, likely fueled by rumors. I couldn't unde
Molly’s POVAll the memories of the past two years with Wesley's family flooded back, igniting my anger.They had insulted and humiliated me, showing no respect despite my seniority.Today, I was determined to make them pay for their actions. In the past, Gianni had always intervened, but this time, I wanted them to understand the consequences of crossing me.Radley's face twisted in fury as he glared at me. "You ungrateful..." I cut him off mid-sentence with a swift kick to his jaw, bringing myself down to his level."What did you just call me?" His words faltered as a mix of shock and fear crossed his face.Meanwhile, the sister was already on the phone with her brother. "Wesley, Molly has lost it and is attacking Radley.""You're lying. Your brother provoked her and got what he deserved," Nora spoke up in my defense. The look of astonishment in her eyes as she gazed at me revealed that she had many questions.However, I wanted to confront the tramp before the foolish Wesley arrived
Kiara’s POVLast night, Wesley assured me that he was going to permanently defeat Molly, but he returned unsuccessful, suggesting that the don he collaborated with might have been killed by Don Gio because of Molly.This didn't concern me much as I suspected he was having an affair with his secretary. During my last visit to his office, I noticed he had delegated a lot of responsibilities to his secretary, despite her recent employment.When I expressed my concerns to him, he tried to make it up to me by bringing me here. However, when we were about to leave, his supposed brother and sister insisted on joining us.Since we had left Wade with our nanny for this outing, I suggested his brother and sister go shopping and meet us for dinner later.To my surprise, Molly intervened and prevented Bertha and Radley from joining us.Wesley had not mentioned our wedding plans since then, which was another topic I wanted to discuss. Just as I hoped Wesley would stand up to Molly, we received new
Giovanni’s POVAfter watching the video of Molly confronting Wesley's siblings, I was initially entertained, but as soon as Wesley appeared, I rushed to the scene.Wesley was being resuscitated by unfamiliar individuals, and I soon realized that Molly could be intimidating. It was evident that she had Kiara right where she wanted her, and the fear in Kiara's eyes was palpable."Are you suggesting that I drugged you, Molly?" Kiara nervously inquired. I knew I had to record everything for Molly's benefit, so I began recording.This evidence would be crucial in vindicating Molly. Molly remained silent in response to Kiara's question, but the mere mention of the butcher's name sent Kiara into a panic."Please, Molly, can you put down the knife?" Kiara pleaded as Molly neared the completion of slicing the remaining desserts."I'm just practicing how to slice you like this if you ever lie to me again," Molly calmly retorted, her expression defiant.She was truly terrifying when she spoke an
Nora’s POVIt felt like a dream seeing Molly again, and I couldn't help but wonder what Don Gio had done to make her look so radiant. She exuded beauty and joy, but the most remarkable change was her newfound confidence and ability to stand up to bullies.It was evident that Molly's transformation was a result of Don Gio's influence, and when he arrived, everything became clear. Despite rumors of his stoic demeanor, Don Gio was beaming with joy, showering Molly with attention and cracking jokes.Witnessing Molly's happiness and Don Gio's rare display of affection put my concerns about his family at ease. It was a reminder that love, even if fleeting, is worth experiencing.However, the confession that followed shattered the moment. Learning that Molly's sister was responsible for their parents' deaths and Molly's ordeal was heartbreaking.It was a cruel twist of fate that left me feeling sorrowful for their family. For an accident to claim someone like Kiara would be too merciful. If
Giovanni’s POVAll I wanted was to make Molly happy, so when she requested it, I got in the mood, despite not remembering the last time I danced.Our movements were in sync, and I let her drink as much as she wanted.Her laughter and excitement were magical and contagious, and I didn’t want the moment to end. Suddenly, I couldn’t find Nora.Since Nora was here because of Molly, I felt responsible for her, especially since it was her day off. The disco lights made it difficult to locate her, and Molly was already drunk, so I couldn’t leave her alone.“Molly, we need to find Nora,” I said, trying to get her attention. “Did something happen to her? Where is she?” Molly asked, but I kept scanning the room.“I don’t know, but let’s look around,” I suggested, guiding Molly as we searched for Nora.It was almost futile when she wasn’t answering her calls, and I was about to ask the manager to check the CCTV when I spotted a man carrying a woman in his arms.The black dress the woman was wear
Roger’s POVCongratulations to our youngest graduate and Valedictorian, Roger Dawson," the MC announced as the sound of applause filled the air. I walked to the stage to collect my certificate.My schooling was different from most children my age as I received a lot of home tuition and skipped grades due to my exceptionally high IQ and my early interest in creating wealth.When I entered college at the age of twelve, I told my dad that I would graduate by fourteen, and he believed in me. My battle skills were strong, but so was my dedication to education and my career.My dad taught me that the quickest way to make money without physically going to an office was through hacking, but he was unsure if I could balance it with my studies.Driven by my determination to achieve financial success independently, I seized the opportunity at the age of five. By the time I was seven, I had gained a reputation in the cyber market, with my true identity concealed.My code name is 'Terror D2.' I ch
Octavia’s POVMy biggest mistake was rejecting Hank, and although I didn't intentionally send the assassin after Nora, I was saddened to lose Hank to her.Cage mistreated me, but I felt I deserved it. Everything was wrong from the start, but I blindly trusted him and felt relieved when Vanni had him killed.Hank had just gotten engaged, so I believed I still had a chance to win him back by showing him that our past connection was not over.To be close to Hank, I needed to be near Nora. If I stayed with her, I would have the opportunity to see Hank and make my move.Nora was thrilled to be engaged to Hank, and I understood why. Hank wouldn't have looked back if I had intentionally tried to harm her, but now all I wanted was him.Nora made a revealing statement, "I live with Hank, but if he agrees, I don't mind." I knew Hank wouldn't allow me to stay at his place.Perhaps it was the aftermath of the assassin's attack that led Hank to invite Nora to live with him. I needed to be near him
Nora’s POv“Molly, I'm done with Hank. He proposed last night, and we made out, but as soon as Octavia called, he left me," a tear slid down my cheek as I spoke to Molly on the phone.The emotions swirling through me were overwhelming because I had witnessed how Octavia stood by Cage and said hurtful things to Hank, so why would he still care about her?"Nora, you have to trust your man," Molly said calmly. I informed her, "I want to see you.""Okay, I'm home, but Gianni is going out, so I will have a driver pick you up."I didn't refuse the offer since I didn't have any of Hank's car keys. As soon as I reached Molly's mansion, I told her everything the moment I saw her, and she was excited."You are engaged, that's wonderful, but I think it's the reason Gianni left too. He never left me alone after that incident at the hospital," she said. My heart warmed at the fact that Hank was not alone with Octavia.I stayed with Molly and fell asleep until she received news from Gio that they w
Hank’s POVGio, please allow them to answer the question," I said, my voice trembling. Octavia responded, "I don’t know her identity because the assassin would not reveal it to me."It made sense that Octavia wouldn't intentionally target Nora, but I still needed to confirm my suspicions.Cage grinned. "They came for you, but do you think they would still save you if they knew the girl in question?"My heart sank. No wonder Carter didn't know their identities. That was how the transaction was meant to be.Cage likely provided the contract, and Octavia, wanting to keep her identity hidden, offered a better deal for the same target. Carter, in turn, would not disclose the target's identity because she hid it to protect herself.They orchestrated it this way to avoid being traced, even if Carter failed and got caught."Who is she?" I asked again. Cage smiled. "It's Nora, and this woman confessed that the job was done because the assassin told her he was already with her. He never misses
Hank’s POVI desired Nora so much that when she expressed a desire for intimacy, I took the opportunity to propose to her, and she accepted.My joy was overwhelming, and as we spent the night together, I couldn't help but envision her in a wedding gown. I was eager to solidify our relationship quickly, but I didn't want to appear desperate, so I decided to wait a week or two before discussing marriage.Having Nora in my life made everything worthwhile, even leaving my lucrative job. It allowed us the freedom to spend time together whenever we pleased. I looked forward to supporting her business and seeing it flourish beyond her dreams.However, our peaceful morning was unexpectedly disrupted by Octavia."Hank, Vanni has blacklisted me, and I'm in trouble. Cage and his gang are after me. He deceived me. I'm hiding in my basement because I'm injured. He nearly killed me, Hank," Octavia pleaded as I reassured her, "Stay put, I'm on my way."I could track Octavia using her GPS as long as
Nora’s POVThere was nothing creepier than watching Hank take down Carter. I had thought Carter would put up a fight, but it turns out he's only good at harming fragile women like me.Even after it was all over, I found it hard to accept that I had almost died.What if Hank hadn't received my message and tried to call me? I had resisted when he first asked me to move in with him or find another apartment, but not anymore.Clearly, experiences like this were why Molly had toughened up so much. One can't always rely on a savior, so I need to toughen up if I want to be with a man like Hank.No matter what, there would always be dangers surrounding him. When I reached his house, I showered again out of anxiety, hoping the water would wash away my fears.It helped, but seeing Hank in just shorts, his chest exposed and his damp hair, as if he had just showered, a different kind of anxiety took hold of me.Men often walked around shirtless, and it was clear that Hank was the type to sleep in
Hank’s POVAfter Nora refused to vacate her apartment, I discreetly kept an eye on her ever since I spotted Carter in the elevator.Despite the events at Molly and Gio’s wedding, where I respected Nora’s desire to take things slow, I refrained from inviting her to my place and instead ensured her safety in her own apartment.I had been monitoring Carter and confirmed his departure on the day we went to the Island, causing my surveillance on Nora to lapse.As I neared my house, I almost ignored the message beep from my phone but a strong feeling compelled me to check, suspecting it was Nora.However, the call abruptly ended after two rings, signaling a problem.Instinctively, I made a U-turn, realizing that Carter’s sudden presence and the phone going dead were red flags.I didn’t anticipate Carter causing trouble without a contract, ruling out the possibility of him being hired to target Nora. It dawned on me that his actions might be driven by his feelings for her.Upon reaching Nora
Nora’s POVGio, were they responsible for the threatening note?" Hank inquired. Gio nodded. "Yes, they targeted Molly and Roger. When they couldn't reach her due to the tight security, they exploited her health condition."He smiled bitterly and continued, "During our first antenatal visit after our honeymoon, Molly mentioned seeing this boy, but I dismissed it as a hallucination. They have been monitoring her for a long time without success."Now everything made sense, but why did they use Wade? "What about the boy? Why send him?" I asked, and Gio looked saddened."They manipulated him, poisoning his mind. Before I killed Wesley's father for murdering his wife, he hinted that there were more threats coming. I suspect his other two children," he explained.If this young boy could have murderous intentions towards Roger, then his siblings could be even more dangerous. They needed to be located.Gio gazed at Wade with concern evident in his eyes and voice. "I assure you, we will protect
Nora’s POVAfter the wedding, I finally understood why Molly loved Roger so much. He was disciplined, intelligent, and resilient.Inspired by him, I started training alongside himself and Hank every morning until Molly and Gio returned from their honey mon.Roger's dedication to learning also improved my relationship with Hank.For the first time, I felt like a mother figure, caring for a child who was independent and mature beyond his years.Molly then suggested another concert, and I eagerly agreed, putting my business on hold.The final day of the concert took a somber turn when Molly collapsed, but I stepped in to handle the situation, inadvertently gaining some unwanted attention.Despite the incident, Molly's connection with her fans deepened as they showed their support by gathering outside the hospital. Gio, as I now referred to him, helped manage the situation and dispersed the crowd.Although it felt strange to call him Gio, I knew I would eventually get used to it.Each day
