Chapter 22

Tara

Gio never says another word as we eat in silence and stayed that way through the entire ride to the vineyard. The silence spoke volumes as we followed the tour guide through the fields of the vineyard as they named the different types of grapes and wines they made. My mind was racing as I wondered what was running through his, It was beyond unnerving as I watched him interact with the other couples on the tour. He never said a word to me as I silently followed alongside him as we navigated the large fields. I was finished with him giving me the silent treatment if he was upset the least, he could do was say something. Deciding I finally had enough I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to notice I was no longer following beside him. It hadn’t taken very long as he abruptly stopped then closed the distance between us still refusing to speak as he gave me a quick once over. “Gio what is the matter with you?”

“Funny I was wondering the same thing about you.”

    Chapter 23GioI fucked up; I knew it the moment I opened my fucking mouth to accuse her of cheating on me. But I couldn’t fucking help it; the minute I saw that damn stripper sitting at the table next to her in that damn dress that put her breast hips and thighs on full display, I lost all sense of reason. I had tried to stay calm as I made my way over to them and caught the fucking idiot practically drooling over her before I sat down beside her. Sure, I saw the look of relief or was it guilt when she saw me standing behind the man, I couldn’t be sure at first. All I knew was that the bastard had his eyes on my wife, and I was fucking seething. I knew the minute that I sat down beside her, and she physically relaxed into me as I wrapped my arm around her waist that she wasn’t unhappy I was here at least that much was clear. But when the fucker had the nerve to lie about where they met, and she turned those big brown eyes on me to defend his fucking happy coincidence story right bef

Ignoring her I walk over toward my desk. “By the look on your face I trust that your wife didn’t take the news too well. Poor thing having to find out how disposable she is so soon after trapping you into your doomed marriage it really is such a shame. Although its best she learns her place sooner rather than later.” “Kat please have someone from security sent up to escort Ms. Boise to her car.”“Gio how sweet, but you don’t need to have anyone escort me to my car I’m not afraid of her trying to get revenge on me. I’m more than capable of handling myself against her.”“It isn’t to protect you against her I want to ensure that you have no more disillusions of us ever being together, I’m also sure it goes without saying that our business regarding the merger is null in void.”“G

    Chapter 25TaraThat narcissistic selfish manipulative bastard, here I was feeling like shit because I had been avoiding him after the best damn sex we had so far especially when I fucking panicked after he said, baby. I had no idea he even wanted to have kids let alone with me. He might have apologized but I still could not get past the things he said. True enough the relationship was doomed from the start he was so damn toxic and yet I still couldn’t fight my attraction to him. It was something about the way he touched me like I was everything he wanted and needed in the world that just seemed to set my body on fire. The sex was fucking amazing I mean it had only been a month and I had already worn out the damn batteries in my vibrator trying to curve the ache I had to feel him inside me. I was fucking dick-matized and I knew I needed to distance myself from him and clear my fuckin head especially after he mentioned wanting kids so damn casually.True enough he was a controlling ba

I briefly ignore the terror on her face as I swing the door open. “Put the car in park Tara don’t make me do it for you.”“What the fuck is wrong with you are you out your damn mind.”“Sweetheart we both know the answer to that. Now get your ass out of this fucking car before I drag you pretty ass out It’s your choice.”“Fuck you in not going anywhere with your crazy ass.” She says trying to yank the door shut and I wedge my body between the door slipping the car in park before reaching to release her buckle. She begins to fight me from the car. Elbowing me in the face cursing up a storm while I throw her over my shoulder carrying her back to the truck tossing the spare keys to the soldier Harvey that

Now we were back at her house, and she was screaming her head off as I sat across from her on her couch feeling like the dumbest woman in the damn world after telling her the truth about everything. The tunnels where I ran into Gio and his mob goons, the forced marriage, the blow up at the bachelorette party and again at the honeymoon and the baby that I was now carrying. “I just feel so damn stupid Evet.”“Trust me you are. But in this circumstance, I guess you didn’t have much of a choice.

    EpilogueFour Months LaterTara shifts in her sleep kicking and screaming fighting off, what I can only imagine is the nightmare of my cousin and Uncle. It makes my heart sink watching her struggle with the invisible attackers desperately. Frankie told me what she said about her being drugged and too afraid to eat or sleep for two days because she was scared. The look on my brother’s face when he told me about her requesting a rape kit because she was terrified, he had taken advantage of her. While he recounted her story of the first day alone with him to me. It was enough to make me want to dig their asses back up and torture the bastards all over again. It had been four months since we found her in the tunnels half-naked and covered in dirt, her feet bloody and bruised from her running barefoot in those tunnels alone. She was a survivor, my girl, she hadn’t given up once. Not even when she was staring down the barrel of my uncle’s thirty-eight.When I heard the shot ring out in th

I had checked everywhere for a way out but there wasn’t any, outside of the large steel bolted door he used to leave. I could not shake the continuous fear that I was going to die here it paralyzed me with fear to think that this was how I died. After everything had been through everything, I fought for this was the end for me. But why upset me was the fact that I would never see my friends or family ever again. Never get to joke and laugh with Evet and AJ again never get to see Lourdes again.Worst of all I would never get to hold my baby girl, and neither would Gio. I was so pissed at him for being suspicious of Damon, for doubting me How could I have been so stupid. Gio had warned me about him he had tried to keep me away from him and he was right. To think I wasted all this time fighting him on this when all he was trying to do was protect me, I even blamed

It had been over forty-eight hours over twenty went missing and there still wasn’t any update as to where she had been.“What the fuck do you mean you can’t find anything, where the fuck are the men, we had on her?”“Gregorio is dead, and I caught his partner trying to sneak out of town with a couple of sacks full of cash. The mook had over about a mill on him when we caught him at my friend’s car lot downtown. He’s got some interesting things to say about where he got the money from, I thought you might want to hear about its boss.”“Bring him in.” I command the door opens and the sound of a man desperately pleading for my men to let him go.

The chilly October rain landing against the window as I try to take in the beautiful fiery colors of the autumn kissed leaves. “Yeah, I’m ok still a little nauseous, though.”“You sure? I know that had to be tough with your ex trying to come back into your life after all this time. Why is that any way? I mean the guy ditched you soon as he finds out your pregnant accuses you of cheating on him, but now he’s suddenly trying to win you back.”“That’s Gio alright a manipulative bastard to the end. I cannot believe I hoped that he would eventually realize how wrong he was and apologize not try to buy my forgiveness. Of course, he only showed up himself when he thought I was moving on. God forbid he actually showed he cared about me or the baby.” “The man’s fucked up in the head, serves him right that he’s losing his fucking mind after losing you.”“Yeah, I guess it’
