Thanks a lot for your support.
Kiara’s POV“I can’t believe you allowed them into your house without us being there,” I said to Wesley as he drove away from the court, heading to the hospital.My parents had special jewelry that I never saw after their death, and something inside me tells me that Molly had them. If we could get there before her, I was sure to take them from her.“I wanted to call my parents to deal with Molly for the sudden pride that entered her, but that demon is with her so what can I do?” Wesley said. I sensed the fear in his voice.Giovanni was indeed a terror to the underworld, but I never thought I would meet him face to face.He was good-looking too, the most handsome and deadly man I had ever seen. I was glad Wesley paid some spies enough to keep an eye on Molly for now.That way, I might just find out more about Giovanni. Before, I thought Wesley was the best thing that happened to Molly, but seeing Giovanni all over her, I knew he had to be mine.I then thought about Wade, silently cursi
Molly’s POVAfter Radley’s call, Gianni didn't stop there. “Are you done with the call now? Hurry up and kiss her feet before your brother arrives.”His expression was defiant and I was beginning to worry about his busy schedules. He had already spent an hour here and I feared spending more of his time.Radley was in tears. Not even my slaps made him cry, and his stubbornness was so ingrained in him that he didn't comply.“I can’t. She means nothing to me.”A slap from Gianni sent him crashing into the sofa, his mother wailing as if she had just lost a son and a husband when we heard the sound of a siren.Gianni was displeased because Radley was fortunate not to have hit the wall like his father and was cushioned by the sofa instead.The sound of the siren grew louder, and I wondered who had called the emergency services.However, Radley's face and eyes were red and swollen as he wailed in his mother's arms. Bertha smartly remained on the floor where he was and had succeeded in pickin
Wesley’s POVI was furious when I received the call about what happened to my parents. Upon reaching my own home, I saw my family being bullied, and I felt helpless due to the sling on my arm.Even without it, I doubted I could defeat Giovanni. The trained bodyguards I brought were unable to defeat him, which added to my shame. What was he made of?Someone of his status should have bodyguards, but he didn’t have any with him and dealt with mine effortlessly.To make matters worse, Radley looked to me for defense."The cops were too scared to arrest him. Dad has been taken to the hospital.""You won't let him bully us, will you?"His desperate eyes met mine, and my heart ached that I couldn't protect them.This was all because of Molly. “Radley, I had an accident on the way and broke my wrist. Please allow me some time to recover,” I said, but Molly interrupted.“An accident? Or did Gianni break your wrist because you tried to touch me?” she taunted. I was stunned to see her like this.
Wesley’s POV“You can’t do that. You are the head of this family,” Mother cried, adding, “You are injured too. Don’t do it.”Giovanni was ruthless, showing no respect for my mother and telling her, “Mrs. Thompson if you don’t pick up the remaining items with your mouth, you will join your husband.”I couldn't bear to see my mother endure such humiliation, so I knelt. “It’s alright. I will do it.”Kiara looked at me with disdain in her eyes. “What would Wade think if he heard that his father was reduced to a dog?” she snickered, and I wasn't surprised.She had left me before and managed to worm her way back into my life. Because of her, everything between me and Molly was destroyed, yet she had the audacity to say this.Kiara seemed to regret her words when Giovanni turned his gaze towards her. “Join him in picking up the jewelry with your mouth,” he ordered coldly, disdain evident in his eyes as he looked at her.Kiara appeared repulsed. “You can’t make me do that. It’s against the la
Wesley’s POV“Put your feet on the table,” Giovanni instructed Molly, adding to my confusion as he opened the wine bottle.My heart raced with each of his actions, and I wanted to grab the wine bottle from him and return it to its rightful place.I had bought it the day Molly signed off on everything, but I didn't think she was deserving of it. Now, it felt like some kind of trophy, but when I heard Giovanni's intentions for it, I felt like I was dying inside.“I just remembered that I have to clean their smelly mouths from your precious feet,” he remarked, causing my jaw to clench, feeling powerless in front of him.Molly seemed taken aback by his actions as he knelt before her, treating her like a princess, disregarding his white suit as he gently removed her stilettos.Giovanni carefully placed her feet on my coffee table, then picked up her jewelry box and duffle bag from the floor, placing them gently on the sofa to avoid the unconscious bodyguards lying on the floor.I was unsur
Wesley’s POVThe spy I hired to gather information about Giovanni surprised me with his question.“Are you expecting me to answer this question after my deposit?” I asked him on the phone, he abruptly ended the call.As I looked at the unconscious bodyguards on the floor, I considered asking for his help to dispose off them when I noticed a movement.I rushed to his side and helped him up. “You’re alive?”He stumbled slightly, and I steadied him. “Why didn’t you inform us that it was Don we were up against? I wouldn’t have come,” he expressed, disheartened.I contemplated hiring someone more capable to confront Giovanni or forming alliances with his business rivals.“If you were alive, why were you unconscious for so long?”To my surprise, he began to rouse his companions. “We had to feign death to save our lives, if you catch my drift. Don wouldn’t hesitate to send you to your grave,” he cautioned.His comrades stood up, eyeing me warily. One of them spoke up, “If you won’t pay the r
Molly’s POVGianni revealed a side of himself that I had never seen before, not even after witnessing what he did to the lawyer.It helped me understand why he was so fearless, sparking a desire in me to be tough as well, though I was unsure how to achieve it.He wasn't like this when we dated in the past, so it must have taken him years to reach this level.After Gianni dropped me gently in the passenger seat of his car and discarded the shirt Kiara had touched, I felt compelled to thank him.However, the pain he had caused me made me in the past made me attribute his actions to an attempt to make amends.Once we retrieved everything from Wesley, Gianni and I could go our separate ways.“Are you going to the office like that?” I asked him, and he nodded. “I have some clothes in the office.”I was relieved, but then I noticed the blazer he had used to wipe my legs and wasn't sure what to make of it.“I can wash that for you,” I offered, as I had done a lot of handwashing for Wesley an
Giovanni’s POVI couldn’t reveal all sides of my business to Molly as that were too dangerous.Having her at the corporation would be the best for her at the moment and I was glad she wasn’t prone too probing too much.While chatting with her, I noticed a car following us. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but when I tried to pull over as I did, my suspicions were confirmed.As I got out of the car, his mistake was attempting to run instead of pretending his car had a fault, which would have been a better excuse.It didn’t take long for me to catch up to him as he tried to flee, waiting for approaching cars before crossing the street.It wouldn’t have been right to kill him there, so I made a mental note to always have at least one bodyguard with me in the future. This situation should have been easily handled by them.Once I grabbed him by the hair, his struggles were futile as I knew he wouldn’t be able to escape.Pushing him back into his car, I interrogated him, “Why w
Molly’s POV“What if I have a tiny bit of information about Don Black? Will you still go alone?”Gianni turned to face her and, as if contemplating something, responded casually. “Let’s talk in my office.”The excitement in her eyes was infectious, but as she stared at me, her gaze turned dark.It seemed to me that Gianni was surrounded by strange people, but as he reached the door, what he said caused me to freeze.“Agatha, Nicole would be my secretary, but you shall be Molly’s secretary.”“What?” It wasn’t Agatha but rather Nicole who exclaimed in shock. I was just as confused, not knowing what job I was going to do that would require a secretary.“Gianni…” I was about to say, but he had already left. I guess I had bruised his ego by refusing to attend whatever dinner both women wanted to go to.I didn’t see Gianni again after that, but he sent me a text message: ‘Your corporate email has been activated. I will send some documents, and Agatha can help with them. If you don’t underst
Molly’s POV Gianni did not explain matters to me. When I mentioned his wife, I expected him to tell me the reason why he couldn’t go with her when I knew he had been with her throughout the weekend.Being labeled a home wrecker before was not something I was proud of, so I thought it best to protect myself by keeping a distance from married men, though I never saw a ring on Gianni’s finger. All he said was for me to accompany him to a dinner as if I was an escort, so I refused.If he had mentioned it was work-related, then I would have thought about it or even considered it, but I guess it was too late to take the offer because a replacement was right in front of him.“Agatha, you will escort me to dinner tonight. All expenses will be taken care of.”I saw the way Agatha beamed at Gianni’s request as if it was the best thing that ever happened to her. Yes, sir, I will work faster," Agatha exclaimed, about to leave when a female voice interrupted her."Why should she accompany you w
Giovanni’s POVAs I was about to take off on my private jet, my phone rang. Expecting it to be Hank with a possible emergency involving Roger, I answered the call.“Gio, I heard Don Black is having dinner at Haze restaurant tonight.”The news piqued my interest, even though I didn’t know the man’s identity I was searching for. I had a hunch that certain characteristics might give him away, so I decided to take the bait.Also, the fact that he had eyes on Molly made her the perfect candidate to go with.“Great. I hope he doesn’t disguise himself.”“I hope so too,” Hank replied before I ended the call. Upon reaching the office, I was eager to check on Molly. I hadn’t informed her before leaving because I didn’t want to ruin her sleep but she hadn’t called during my absence.I secretly hoped she would have reached out to me or inquired about the missing maids, but that didn’t happen. I assumed Jace must have provided her with satisfactory answers, but I expected her to be waiting for me
Molly’s POVIt was very strange how the atmosphere around the mansion changed the moment Gianna walked in.The maids walked on eggshells, as if they hadn't been mocking me earlier, but Gianni was not alone.He was accompanied by a tall man dressed in black. With Gianni in all white, there was a stark contrast between the two men.“Molly, meet Hank, my best friend,” Gianna said. I was stunned, perhaps because Hank was dressed casually in a leather jacket.I never met any of Gianni’s family members when we dated and also not his best friend but I was glad to meet someone close to him now.However, Hank’s gaze was piercing, as if he were peering into my soul. It reminded me of the intense gaze Gianni would give me when he was upset.Upon seeing Hank, Roger rushed to embrace him, making me yearn for a similar bond with him.Roger seemed to connect better with his father's best friend than even with his father.“How are you, big boy?” Hank asked as he lifted Roger into his arms. The excite
“Boss, Roger is making things difficult for her, scaring her with his pets and the maids...""What did the maids do?" I was furious at this point. Roger may be different, but the maids are my employees and should not be causing trouble."They believe she can't handle her job and is using Roger to get your attention.""Did they mistreat her in any way?"Jace hesitated for a moment before hurriedly responding, "I have to go. I think Roger is causing trouble again."I didn't stop him, knowing he needed to be there for Molly, and turned to Hank. "Please drive. I want to check the surveillance cameras at home."Despite his love for expensive cars, it was a mistake to ask Hank, as he was already behind the wheel."Who is causing problems?" he inquired as he accelerated. I watched the surveillance cameras closely as I updated him."Roger has taken a dislike to Molly.""That's understandable, but he will outgrow it soon. None of us can force him to like her."His response was not encouraging,
Giovanni’s POV"What if I told you Wesley is asking for help to reach Molly?"The question shocked me for a second. “What?” Wesley was smart, but I never expected it to reach this level, and the more Hank explained, the more uneasy I felt.Being a spy and an assassin, this was his job, so I wasn’t the least surprised.“From the look of it, he either loves or hates her too much.”I respected Wesley before, especially when I heard that he married Molly after the scandal after everything I witnessed, no.If only I knew Don Black’s location. All his partners have worked with him through his bodyguards.“I want a strategy to take him down. Wesley isn’t a problem.”“But if he’s partnering, then he’s going to use Molly’s money to pay for some things, right?” Hank asked. I wasn’t ready for this.There was already a lot of things going on with my clubs and loaning organizations, but then an idea came to mind.“What about I take back Molly’s money from him bit by bit?”Hank smiled, but there wa
Giovanni’s POV“I don’t have all day, Eleonor.” I was running out of patience when I saw her wasting time at the door.As she entered the office, I quickly warned her. “Don’t ever dress like this to my office again.”She knew perfectly well that her services weren’t needed in my office and should have dressed more appropriately but rather, she looked confused and asked me, “But Don, you never complained before.”I decided to clarify, “Point of correction, don’t come to my office unless summoned.”It was better that way because I didn’t invite her. I knew she might be wondering why I suddenly began giving her rules, but the reason was that Molly was starting work, and I didn’t want her to get any ideas.Until she recovered everything Wesley stole from her, she needed peace of mind to focus on her work.“Okay, I’m sorry, but you haven’t been answering my calls, so I came to check. I have some new girls, and as usual, we wear masks, so you won’t know them, and they won’t know you. Your s
Molly’s POVThe atmosphere in the mansion shifted whenever Gianni was absent. Knocking on Roger’s door, I received no response, so I cautiously opened it, only to be met with a wave of fear that gripped my heart.“It’s not a joke, Roger,” I pleaded, feeling vulnerable and at his mercy as I quickly shut the door.“Come in,” his voice called from inside, but as I entered, something suddenly covered my face, causing me to scream in terror. Thankfully, Jace swiftly came to my rescue, removing the spider that had startled me.My heart raced uncontrollably. “Thank you, Jace.”“It’s no problem, ma’am. I’m here to help.”I glanced around at Roger’s chaotic collection of pets, feeling queasy. I hurried to the bathroom, emptying the contents of my stomach. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and the boy had frightened me to the core.This wasn’t the first time, but without Gianni, the house felt menacing, bringing back memories of what Roger had done to me on my first night.“Ma'am, would you like
Molly’s POVI was still reeling from witnessing Gianni's actions earlier. Initially, I was afraid he might end up in jail, but the way the cops looked at him made me wonder why people were so afraid of him.Then there was Wesley, using my money to hire spies. I felt like the few months Gianni stated to get back my assets was too long.As he picked up the intercom, his expression changed, and I wondered what his secretary had told him.“Tell her to wait there,” he instructed, indicating it was a woman. There was always a mysterious air about him when it came to women, including his wife, that he never shared with me.Dropping the intercom, he locked eyes with me. “My bodyguard, Jace, will accompany you to Roger’s school and stay with you until I return.”I felt a sense of relief at the prospect of some time alone but couldn’t shake my curiosity about the woman waiting for him.“Okay, so when can I expect you back?” I asked, unintentionally giving the impression that there was something
