GYPSY'S POV

đŸŽ¶Now the sun turns out his light,

Good night, sleep tight.

Dream sweet dreams for me,

Dream sweet dreams for you.

Good night,

Good night, everybody,

Everybody, everywhere,

Good night.đŸŽ¶

I shut my eyes after the lullaby ends and force a yawn out of myself, ready to sleep like I've been for the past three hours.

Five minutes later, I'm staring eyes wide into the darkness. Ugh. What the heck?

Instead of darkness, the only thing I see when I close my eyes are forest green eyes that make me feel so lost when I look into them.

Which confuses the hell out of me. Their owner is an asswipe, a jerk and a bastard. Not to forget douchebag. Remembering those eyes should be filling me with anger and rage.

Not butterflies.

Now I'm acting like a fucking drama queen, singing myself lullabies and force yawning several times to get sleep aware that I'm ready to be in it's kingdom.

Thinking about eyes I'll never see again.

I sigh. I realize what that sigh means and let out a groan. I immedi

    GYPSY'S POVThis feels like Deja Vu.I step out of the elevator the next morning, deciding to pretend like everything is normal. Like I'm not just returning to work after resigning last night. Reality slaps me in the face. This is not deja vu at all. Because this time, I'm not here with good intentions. I'm here to spy on Enzo, to betray him.My heart squeezes painfully inside my chest, yet I put on a smile, greeting an executive as I pass by him and head for the coffee room.This time, the coffee is already brewed, so I just collect some and make my way out. The muscles in my stomach get tenser as I approach Enzo's door.About two meters away, the door parts open slightly. Then I hear Lena's loud and defiant voice.“It's not my fault that nobody has been able to please you in the past two years, Lorenzo.” Stepping out, she slams the door.One thing I realized in my two days around was that Lena is the only one who doesn't seem intimidated by Mr. Forestry. She calls him out on his bu

The two traitors team up and force me to steer the car off the road and stop right in front of Gypsy where she's obviously waiting for a taxi.Bending a little, I peer at her confused face. "Get in. I'll take you home."Her eyes widen from surprise, but she shakes her head. "Oh, you don't have to. I'm fine with taking a taxi.""Gypsy..." I say lowly.She visibly gulps. Stepping forward, she opens the door and gets inside my Porsche.She looks out the window as I begin to drive, like she finds whatever is outside very fascinating. Silence settles between us and it's not the pleasant kind. It's tense and awkward.What else did I expect? In fact, what the heck am I doing?I should be asking her for directions to her house, but what comes out of my mouth shocks me.

One moment, Gypsy can't be walking away from me because she's pissed off by my words, and the next she can't be getting shot.It just doesn't happen like that.A snowball of reality crashes my denial away when Gypsy begins to fall. I reach out, holding onto her body and falling with her.No. No. No. No.“Gypsy... Gypsy!” I call out frantically.Her eyes open, but I've never seen her look so stunned. They shot her in her ribs. Reality whips me with the belt of realization.They didn't shoot her. She jumped in front of that bullet. For me. To save me. Even after all the horrible things I told her. Even after I was such a jerk to her.She risked her life to save mine.Why Gypsy? Why won't you ever let me be a jerk and not feel remorseful?I look up just in time to find a hand holding a gun retreating back into a speeding black Aston. The hand that pulle

Not when Gypsy is inside the operation theater battling for her life.All because of me. Fuck, I still can't believe she jumped in front of the bullet for me.“I brought the car, bro.” I hear Dante's voice behind me.Without hesitation, I turn and pull him into a tight hug. He stiffens and I can't blame him for it. Between the two of us he's always been the emotional one, always initiating hugs that make me cringe.Not so today. Damn, I've never felt the need for so much comfort in a very long time.“She saved my life, Dante. She jumped in front of that bullet for me.” I say shakily.Dante holds me for a little longer. “Enzo, calm down and talk to me.” He says, nudging me back to look at my face. “How did it happen? Did you see who did it?” His jaw clenches suddenly. “Don't tell me it was that old man. Fuck, I told you not to mess with him because he could be dangerous.

    GYPSY'S POVMy eyes finally snap open only to be assailed by blinding lights. I groan.“The lights...the lights.”I hear a deep male voice, then some shuffling and moving around. Finally, the light on my eyelids is not so intense anymore.I open them to find Mr. Forestry standing at the foot of my bed. “What... What happened? What am I...”The events suddenly play in my mind like a horror movie. Enzo saying those mean things to me. I being hurt and deciding to leave. Seeing the white Aston, the guy pointing the gun at Enzo. I shouting Enzo's name and running to push him aside only to feel the excruciating pain in my ribs. The pain. The breathlessness. The feeling like my soul is being ripped out of my body. I've never been so scared.My breaths are heavy all of a sudden. Enzo is by my side in a second. “Hey, are you okay?”He tries to touch me but I swat his hand away. “Don't touch me.”“You saved my life.” He says.“Thank you very much for the much-needed information,” I respond sar

Damn, he really does look like his mother.“Why are you so big?” Zeke suddenly says, snapping me out of my thoughts.I blink, raising my eyebrow at him. What sort of question is that?“Are you superman? Or hulk?”Okay someone has been watching a lot of superhero movies lately.Said someone brings his arms up. “Pick me. Pick me up!”So demanding. What the hell? He couldn't even ask me. I look at Mrs. Mehra and she shrugs. Going down, I grab him by the waist and bring him up, wondering what he wants.Immediately, he starts to feel my shoulders, my biceps. This kid is weird.“Wow. Your mus-kles are so big. One day I'll be just like you. Superman or Hulk. With big mus-kles.” He vows.I chuckle. “Muscles, big guy. Muscles.”“Whatever.

    ENZO'S POV"You will?" The doctor asks thoughtfully. "I thought you two just... never mind."I risk a glance at Gypsy to find her glaring daggers at me. I smile tightly at her. I know she's not pleased with my announcement but what else did she expect?Mrs. Mehra said Gypsy doesn't live with her. She also said Gypsy has no family, which means she lives alone. Her neighborhood might be crowded, but it's mostly filled with scoundrels; not a place to be when she's already vulnerable.My offer is the best one available."Yes, I'll take her to my house so that I can take care of her myself." I affirm. She saved my life. This is the least I can do."Fine then. But Gypsy, I'll keep you here one more night for some observations. You will go home tomorrow if I decide it's not too much of a risk. Is that okay?"Gypsy nods, but her eyes are trained on me. It feels like she wants to burn me down with that look. The nurse hands over some drugs to me and tells me they're painkillers just in case.

This settlement is no doubt reserved for the upperclassmen, the creme de la creme who have nothing to do with their money but spend on extravagances.It's a settlement every normal person would love to live in, something most people would consider the ultimate goal. Not me.I mean, it's not like this isn't exhilarating but it's far from my ultimate goal. The day I achieve my ultimate goal will be the day I find myself finally free of the bastard called Falcon, but since we know that day is never gonna come, I guess I just have to live in every moment of bliss I encounter.Which is also so fucked up because this small amount of calm and satisfaction I'm feeling is based on the fact that my plans to destroy the man I'm falling so hard for is going extremely we

    A lump of nervousness rose up Gypsy's throat as she took in the betrayal burning in David's eyes. She swallowed it down, wondering what was going through his head.“Enzo was here.” She finally answered.David shook his head, his nostrils flaring. “And you let him stay? You even let him okay with Dawn!”“He showed up unexpected very early in the morning and he wouldn't leave. And Dawn was so happy with him I had no choice but to let him stay for a while." Gypsy explained, hoping he would understand.“For a while, huh?” David scoffed. “How long was he here for? Was that why you refused to pick my calls?”“No! Of course not.” Gypsy answered, getting desperate by the second. “I genuinely didn't even hear my phone ringing, I swear.”David barely nodded, suspicion holding his usually bright eyes. “And when did he leave.”“A few minutes ago.” An incredulous look took over David's expression. “He came here early in the morning and he just left a few minutes ago? You let him stay for hours, G

    Enzo stared into the blue coldness of Gypsy's eyes, his heart thumping inside his chest. After what felt like forever but was merely seconds, the dark look in her eyes began to lighten. Nothing too bright, but it rescued his racing heart and filled his chest with a warm assurance that her resistance was gone or on the way to being annihilated.She didn't say anything as she looked away from him to carry the sauce pan off the stove, but her silence told him that she was willing to try, which was a win for him, especially when she looked at him and asked,“Will you join us for breakfast?”A thrill went through him, and Enzo had to remind his body not to react so foolishly. She was only doing this for their daughter's sake.Why else would she do it? A voice in his voice taunted. Enzo grimaced.Breakfast was awkward to say the least, mostly because while Enzo and their daughter conversed a lot, Gypsy only spoke when their daughter tried to involve her in the conversation which wasn't ver

    Gypsy spent most of the night tossing in bed, her mind occupied with thoughts of Enzo and his determination to be part of her daughter's life. Just when she began to feel the arms of sleep around her, the incessant ringing of her doorbell drew her out of it sharply.Gypsy grimaced and remained firmly on her bed. Today was a Saturday which meant she didn't have to get up to get Dawn prepared for school so she was planning on sleeping in to make up for the hours of sleep she had lost. Whoever was ringing her bell at this ungodly hour? Maybe if she didn't respond, the person would get tired and leave.She closed her eyes, hoping the ringing would stop but if anything, it became more jarring.“Fuck!” Gypsy cursed, tossing the sheets off her body as she sat up in her bed.Looking at the time on her alarm, her eyes widened immediately when she saw the time. 6:34Am. Damn, she'd really wasted the night without catching a wink of sleep.The realization made her feel even more grouchy as she s

    It felt like the whole world had gone into a coma but for them as Enzo slowly made his way towards Gypsy. Her pulse was racing, panic snapping through her veins like electricity through a high voltage wire.Enzo stopped in front of her. The coldness and the fury in his eyes seemed to snap Gypsy right into the realization that this was really reality and not just her imagination.Turning to look at David, she looked down at her daughter. "Darling, go with Uncle David into the car."Her daughter's eyes widened immediately in horror. "But mummy, daddy...""I said go with David, Dawn!" Gypsy snapped much more harshly than she'd intended to.She winced internally, instantly regretting her tone of voice when her daughter flinched. Gypsy had never spoken to her like that before. The little girl began crying as David carried her to the car while trying to soothe her."You shouldn't talk to her like that." The sound of Enzo's voice irked her greatly, and Gypsy spun around to face him. "You do

    "You have a daughter." Enzo repeated, his eyes moving from Gypsy to Elice.Gypsy felt like her heart was going to fly out of her chest with how hard it was beating, and out of a pure reflex action, she grabbed the hand of her daughter and stepped out of the doorway, slamming the door shut.She leaned her back against the door, placing her hand on her chest as she tried to calm her racing heart. No! It couldn't be. She couldn't let Enzo know that he had a daughter."Are you okay, mummy?" Elice asked, her brows wrinkled in confusion. "Who is that man?""He's... He's..." The words stuck in her throat.What was she supposed to say? She definitely couldn't tell her daughter that Enzo was her father. Elice would otherwise insist on bringing Enzo into their lives."He's no one, sweety. He's no one." She pulled her daughter closer to her and hugged her, her breathing still coming out heavily.She half expected Enzo to bang on the door for her to open up, but nothing came. He'd obviously left.

    The first thing Gypsy did after dropping her daughter off at school was to drive to David's company. She hadn't heard from him since he dropped her off at her house last night. Not that she expected him to call after she'd told him she needed some space last night.Luckily for her, she arrived at his office just in time because David was about to step out of his office when Gypsy got out of the elevator. He froze, his eyes widening with surprise as he stared at her.“Gypsy.” He said her name.“David.” She responded, stepping closer to him. “Why do you look so surprised to see me?”“You told me you needed some space last night and...” He trailed off, shaking his head.Gypsy winced internally. Had she been rude when she'd told him she wanted to be alone? Last night, her mind had been too disconcerted for her to really think about the things she'd said. Perhaps she'd said something that offended him.“Can we talk?” She asked, glancing over at David's secretary who was shooting daggers at

    “Where's he?” Gianna Russo questioned the guard standing by the door.“He's in the pool, ma'am." the guard answered immediately, but stepped closer to Gianna, almost blocking her path. “But...”“But what?” Gianna demanded, tipping her head to the side.“Nothing, ma'am. Please go ahead.” The guard backed away, returning to his position.“Good." Gianna said with a satisfied smile as she turned and made her way towards the backyard where the pool was located.She came right to a halt. The man she was after was lounging by the pool, but he wasn't alone. He was with two women who were taking turns sucking his dick.Annoyance coursing through her, she stormed towards the trio. The man had his eyes close in pleasure so he didn't even notice her. On reach them, she grabbed the hairs of both women and wrenched them away from her man.“What the fuck?” Both of the women screamed as Gianna threw them to the floor.“Get the fuck out of here?" Gianna growled, glaring at the women.There must've be

    “Gypsy.” Enzo whispered her name huskily.A jolt went up Gypsy's spine at the voice she hadn't heard in six years. And just like that, all the emotions came crashing back.“Oh, you two know each other already.” David chuckled awkwardly, turning his questioning gaze to her. “How do you know him?”But Gypsy wasn't listening; she barely even heard him. Her gaze was pinned on Enzo as the rush of emotions rolled through her.He didn't look very different from when she last saw him except for the slightly dark bags under his eyes. Yet that didn't mellow how handsome he looked in any way. His piercing green eyes that she could remember so well took her in with an equal amount of shock.Gypsy had always imagined what her reaction would be like if she had him in front of her again. Always it'd been indifference. But right now, the calvacade of emotions running through her was too turbulent for her to act indifferent.This was the same man who'd thought her what love was, who'd made her believe
