Gypsy stumbled, almost falling down. She felt like she'd just been smacked a huge weight as she stared at Gianna, taking in the triumphant smirk on the other woman's face.Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse. Just when she thought she was ready to fight for her marraige, turns out there wasn't any marriage to begin with.“Oh poor you.” Gianna said, back again in her pretentious concern. “I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet. Poor thing.”Footsteps announced the presence of someone entering the kitchen. “Is everything alright?”Gypsy turned to see that it was Dante, glancing between her and Gianna. Did he and Enzo know already? Had Enzo already realized that their marraige was never valid in the first place and had just chosen to hide it from her?“What's going on?” Dante asked, his brows furrowing in concerned as his gaze focused on Gypsy.“Oh nothing really. Gypsy and I were just talking about the fact that her marriage to Enzo isn't valid since he and I nev
At the sound of her voice, Enzo jerked away from Gianna as if he'd just been burned. He spun around, his eyes widening in shock as he stared at her.For several seconds, they just remained like that: just staring at each other. Gypsy was watching him alright, but her brain seemed to have stopped functioning, going blank.Until she let her eyes fall down his body and her eyes fell on the erection jutting against Enzo's stomach.The sense of betrayal that rushed over Gypsy came like an avalanche, knocking the air out of her her lungs. Her mind reeled in disbelief and she couldn't seem to breathe.The ache in her chest worsened when she looked at Gianna to find the other woman looking back at her with a triumphant I-TOLD-YOU-SO look.“Gypsy, princess...” Enzo called out to her, his voice strained, filled with regret.Probably regret that she'd caught him in the act, not the fact that he'd just cheated on her.Gypsy's first instinct was to run the hell out of there. Turning, she bolted out
Numb.That's how Gypsy felt as she strolled down the road. She had Zeke in her arms, his head resting on her shoulders while he slept.Looking at her son, she wondered what the heck she was doing. She didn't know. Neither did she know where they were going.All she knew was that she needed to get away from the immense pain that seemed intent on ripping her apart.Not because of Enzo's lies or his deception, but because she didn't want to be selfish.She'd read some time back that to love is to sacrifice, and she loved Enzo too much to not step aside.Because she knew he was still in love with Gianna. No matter how many times he tried to deny it, it was always evident by the conflict on his face, the uncertainty in his eyes.His feelings for Gianna bad survived three years even while he thought she'd betrayed him, and it was obvious that he was never going to get her out of his heart.The only reason why he was holding himself back from Gianna was because Gypsy was in his life. If Gyps
Fuck!Enzo screamed, punching one of his father's men who stood in front of him. The guy fell to the floor with a groan, clutching his mouth.Behind him, Enzo heard a sigh.“You've really got to stop punching these guards as if it's their fault Gypsy is gone, Enzo.” Dante said.Enzo spun around, glaring at him. “So what are you saying, that it's my fault they couldn't do their job?”Dante raised his hands in surrender. “You've got to calm down, man. Because whether or not the guards didn't do their job, punching them isn't going to solve anything. We need to take action.”And they were very quickly running out of options.“You can leave.” Dante signalled at the man who quickly scurried out of the study.Enzo sunk into the swivel chair behind the desk in the study. He felt like he was going crazy.It'd been four days since Gypsy left with Zeke. Four fucking days without hearing their voice or seeing them.Enzo would've tolerated it if he knew that she was safe and just didn't want to t
Gianna hummed as she opened her door and stepped into her room. It'd been a long time since she'd felt so excited.Finally, Gypsy was out of her life!She laughed at the pleasant thought as she moved her body in a dance.Though she hated Arrow Falcon for keeping her hostage and wasting her life, she hoped that he at least made up for it by killing Gypsy so that that bitch could never return to come between Enzo and her.“I see you're very pleased with yourself.” An unexpected male voice said.Gianna jumped with a gasp, turning to face the intruder in her room. Her heart skipped a meet when she found the person who'd spoken. He was sitting on her couch, his legs crossed as his eyes scanned her body.It was Luca.Gianna glared at him. “What are you doing here?”“Ay, why so rude?” Luca chuckled softly as he uncrossed his legs and stood up. He began advancing towards her, and Gianna took equal steps backwards. “What did you expect me to do? Smile and tell you how glad I am to see you?”
“No.” Gypsy whispered through a cracking voice. “You can't make me do this. Please, I beg of you.”Her lips quivered as she stared at Falcon. Even though she knew that the prospects of her plea touching his heart, if he had one at all, was next to nil, she still hoped that somehow, a miracle would happen.The only response she got was Falcon's smile turning even wider. He was obviously enjoying her panic.“The remotes on your lap,” He pointed at them. “One of the buttons is blue and the other is red. The blue one connects to the bomb in your son's room, and the red one is connected to the one in your lover boy's room.”He pointed back at the laptop screen. “Notice that the minutes remaining is the same for both your son and lover boy. But the remotes are also connected. All you have to do is press on the button of the one you want to die and the other bomb will automatically be shut off, saving the other person.”Gypsy gasped at Falcon as tears burned in her yes. How could a person be
The unmistakable noise of a resounding gunshot startled Gypsy out of her unconsciousness. Her mind was in a haze, causing the world to spin, but it all came into focus when she noticed the man on the floor clutching at his chest as blood seeped through his fingers, drenching the floor.Dread zinged through her veins.“Dante...” She said through the panic that restricted her voice.No! No! No!She was just about to rush to his side when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm and brought to her feet.“Let me go! Let go off me!” She thrashed her body, trying to get out of Falcon's hold. “You shot him, you monster. You shot him!”Before she could even say anything to Dante, Falcon was dragging her out the room. He dragged her along the corridor while ordering her to shut up, but Gypsy just couldn't.She'd just lost her son and Dante was also dying because of her, oh God.“Let her go this instant!” A male voice bellowed. Gypsy recognized him as one of Enzo's father's men. He was holding a poin
Gypsy sat still by the window. She was staring into the garden but she wasn't really seeing anything. Her mind was devoid of every thought, her brain devoid of every emotion.She just felt numb.And she liked it that way, because she knew that once the numbness wore off, what would replace it would be an excruciating pain.Pain from everything that had happened in just a few hours.They'd just returned from Dante's funeral and Enzo had immediately retired to his study. Gypsy hadn't stopped him. She'd turned her emotions off and didn't want it to be turned back on.Now she realized how wrong she was. This wasn't only about her. She should've thought about Enzo too. He'd gone through so much, and it was all her fault.“Ma'am.” A voice said behind Gypsy in an Italian assent just as she was about to get up.She stood up and turned to face the speaker. It was one of Enzo's men. Her heart skipped a beat because the man was the one in charge of locating the warehouse where Zeke had been kept
