Gianni's POV I came down from the bed slowly so I wouldn't wake Arabella up, "Mummy, Daddy, Zion," I called out to my parents and brother when I couldn't find them in their room. "Baby don't come downstairs, stay in your room and lock the door," my mother yelled from the living room, I didn't listen. "Fuck, I told her to say upstairs," Zion muttered under his breath. As I came down the stairs, I heard strange music being played, such music had never been played in the house. I followed the sound of the music as I enjoyed it and the sound of the music led me to the living room where my family was tied. I saw Mom and Dad tied up with tapes and kneeling on the floor, while Zion was tied to the fan, there was blood everywhere and some men were holding guns to their heads. "Mummy, Daddy, Zion," I ran up to them as fear gripped me, and tried to lose the tape with my Small hands. "Hello little angel," a young man picked me up into his arms and sat on the couch. "Mummy," I cried, reac

Gianni's POV Landon stared at me in disbelief, he had so much to say from the looks he gave me but he couldn't say anything. "Sir, I made sure they took care of the factory," Landon focused his attention on Damian. "Are you dumb? Can't you see I'm talking to my son," Lisa glared at Landon. "I'm sorry ma'am," Landon backed away. "Destroying evidence are we now?" Luna raised her eyebrows questioning Damian, "I will make sure you pay for what you did." Lisa ignored everyone and asked her questions, "Was this how I raised you? Was this what your father taught you about this business?" "I'm sorry," Damian lowered his gaze. "Don't be sorry! Was this the way you treated Sheila?" Damian's head snapped up at Lisa's question. "She is not my Sheila, she is different, Sheila would have never accepted money and properties to be with me but she_" Before Damian could finish talking, Louis launched his fist on Damian's jaw. "I see you like throwing punches," Damian touched his jaw, he rolled

Gianni's POV"You really do what?" Damian asked again, now I could tell he didn't hear anything."Don Damian," Landon stood up straight in front of Damian."What are you doing outside this late? I was looking for you," Damian questioned Landon."I was taking an evening stroll with Mrs Salvatore," Landon responded politely."Mrs Salvatore?" Damian scoffed, "Move me and her things to the room downstairs, Mother instructed it.""I tried to stop Mrs Lisa but she didn't want to listen," Luna placed her hand on my shoulder."It's okay, it's inevitable," I gave her a small smile, "Can you take me to my room?""Sure," Luna wheeled the chair to my room, "Does Landon like you?" Luna stopped the chair at the entrance of my room door."I don't understand what you are saying?" Luna came to my front."I heard him but Damian didn't hear, look I know he is your husband but you have to make him suffer for this few days," Luna changing the topic suddenly surprised me."Huh?" Confusion set in on my mind

Gianni's POV“Not now, I'm sleeping,” Damian said with his eyes wide open.“I just wanted to know so that I would be_”"Go to sleep," Damian got up from the chair, took his pillow and blanket from the couch, turned off the light, and left the room.What was his deal? Why was he pissed? I was just trying to know about his late wife, I didn't want to know about them from his children, Lisa, or the workers in the house. I rolled my eyes and used the blanket to cover my face.********"How did yesterday night go?" Luna wiggled her eyes at the breakfast table."It went like every other night," I smiled at her, the smile dropped when I remembered how Damian left the room at night just because I asked about his late wife."What's wrong?" Luna touched my face gently."I asked him about Sheila and he got angry," I relaxed my shoulders."He hasn't let go of the past yet, I hope you will be patient and teach him how to let go," Lisa entered the kitchen, she said as she took out milk from the fri

Gianni's POVI was shocked, “Why didn't you explain that he got it wrong? Louis, why didn't you say anything?”Where did such thought come from? Why did he think we were having an affair? I know I didn't owe him any explanation but, he shouldn't think about me like that.“I …I… I'm surprised too, where did he get such a narrative from?” Louis said, completely dumbfounded. Damian must have been at the hospital that night I drove off with his car, he must have seen when Louis kissed me, even Landon said the same thing when he didn't know I was Damian's wife.“It doesn't matter, let's attend classes,” I gave Louis a small smile and he wheeled me to the lecture hall.My mind was in any of the classes I attended, I was scared, I didn't want Damian to tell Professor Lisa about what he saw that night, my brother's life still depended on this marriage.“I won't be attending today's practical class,” I said and began arranging my bag.“Yes, it's true, you aren't supposed to be in school, I wi

Gianni's POVI pushed him away from myself, who gave him the right to do that, I was about to scold his actions when he said, “That's me showing you I have the right to your personal affairs, I don't care what you do but you should only do it when you leave this marriage.”I couldn't say anything as I became speechless, I bit my lips and wheeled the chair to my room.What was that about? Why did he do that? Why did he even kiss me?“Why didn't you say anything?” Luna slammed the door behind her as she entered my room.“I … I … I .. Don't know, I … mean. … I was .. I.. couldn't think, Luna I couldn't think clearly, I mean how could I let him kiss me and I did nothing about it,” I was surprised by my own behavior.“I hope you aren't one of those girls who falls in love with their bully?” Luna raised her eyebrows.“Love? I don't love him, whatever happened just happened because he wanted to prove his stupid right,” I hurriedly defended myself.“Even if you fall in love with him, you have

Gianni's POVI ignored everything Damian had said, I wouldn't let his words hurt me. I love Zion and Arabella more than his words.I didn't bother arranging my things; I just kept them in one part of the walk-in wardrobe and kept the small bag I was taking for my school trip in the corner of the room.I don't understand why Damian keeps getting worked up, I wasn't taking his wife's place or anything like that.We could have Both shared the bed but he doesn't want to. At least it's comfortable for me. I looked at the time and it was 1 AM in the morning.I wondered where he was, I wanted to call him but I couldn't. His number was still among the unknown numbers on my phone and I didn't know which was his.“He is a man, he can take care of himself,” I said those words continuously to myself as I turned off the lights and went to bed.********“Mom, when will you be back?” Francis hugged me as tears flooded his face.“Soon, baby,” I picked him up and kissed his cheeks, “Promise to be a go

Gianni's POVMy head snapped towards Zion when I heard the name “Sheila” It felt like my world had stopped. How did he know that name? “Zion!” Luna screamed at the top of her lungs, she looked terrified, I followed her eyes and my attention fell on the heart monitor which was showing a thin line.“Zi…Zion,” I screamed as Luna held me in her arms. My heart raced with fear. I was a medical student, but right now, I didn't have the courage to help him.“It's cardiac arrest; I will get the doctor,” Louis ran out to get the doctor, and Damian jumped on the bed and started giving Zion CPR.I couldn't dare look, I was scared, what type of test is that? Zion was perfectly fine then what went wrong?I opened my eyes when I heard the heart monitor turn on and I let out a breath of relief.“Thank you doctor Damian,” one of the doctors said and did a checkup on Zion.“Damian is a doctor?” Luna asked and I nodded my head.“Doctor, what happened?” I wanted to know the situation.“Mr Zion was a bit

Gianni's POV“You seemed troubled,” Louis handed me an ice cream and I took it from his hand.“Didn't that woman look familiar?” I questioned as I licked the ice cream.“That woman? She looked like Sheila,” Louis licked his ice cream and he didn't seem interested in the conversation.“You could tell too,” I snapped my finger in his face, bringing his attention to the conversation.“Yes, I feel like she is trouble, but I don't know how,” Louis turned to face me, “Stay away from her; I don't trust anyone who looks like that woman, Sheila.”So I wasn't the only one who felt a storm was coming.“Let me drop you off at home,” Louis opened the door and I entered the car, “Like the old days,” he smiled as he turned on a Niall Horan song.The drive to my house was quiet. I don't know why Louis was quiet, as he was usually talkative, but I was trying to make sure that the woman and Damian didn't cross paths.“You should let go, I will make sure my family works her transfer before the end of th

Gianni's POV “You…you let him in?!!” Professor Lisa yelled. “He locked the main door so I can't get in,” Landon answered as his gaze was still lowered. “Have someone take Selena and Francis to their room and get me the keys to the torture room,” Professor said as she paced the room. I could tell she was scared. I knew the word torture room didn't sit right but how bad could it be? “Mrs. Lisa, the door is locked from the inside; that's why I'm unable to do anything,” Landon answered. “Do I have to tell you everything? Break the door before I get there,” I stood up to follow Professor Lisa, “I don't think it's right for you to go there.” “Heaven knows who he is torturing right now,” Professor Lisa muttered under her breath, but I heard it. “What if he is torturing himself?” Luna chipped in, and Professor Lisa's face turned pale. Professor Lisa ran out of the living room and we followed behind her. I was scared as they were trying to break the door. What if he hurt hims

Gianni's POVI played with Damian's hair while he was sleeping, he looked peaceful. I didn't go to sleep out of excitement. I don't even know why I was excited, but since Damian fell asleep, everything kept replaying in my head, and it made me blush.“Good morning,” I said with a shy smile on my face when Damian opened his eyes.I was expecting him to smile or something but he didn't, his eyes fell on the clothes which were on the floor, he looked around the room till his eyes fell on me. “Are you okay?” he moved when I was about to touch him and my hand paused mid air.He looked at me with disgust and anger, “Damnit,” he stood up from the bed, picked his clothes from the floor, wore them, and walked out of the room.What was wrong with him? Why the fuck did he react like that?I felt hurt, but I tried to ignore the situation. I entered the bathroom to freshen up, and when I came out, I met Damian, arranging his things back into his luggage.“Where are you going?” I asked calmly. I d

Gianni's POVI stood Frozen waiting for Damian to say anything, “Is there a problem?” I let out a breath of relief when Damian asked.Thank goodness, he didn't hear the voice. Landon's eyes fell on me, and I could tell he heard the voice, “Nothing, sir, I thought Mrs Salvatore had called me.”“Well, she didn't,” Damian looked at his watch, “Please wait right here with Gianni. I want to use the restroom,” Damian instructed and left us.“Why did you stop?” I asked Landon who looked disrupted while searching for someone with his eyes.“Huh?” Landon raised his eyebrows, “I heard someone's voice I shouldn't have heard, my mind is playing tricks on me.”“Sheila's voice?” I asked.“Yes, that,” Landon paused, “You have never heard her speak, so how did you know it was her voice.”“Now do you understand that I actually saw someone who looks and sounds like Damian's ex wife?” At least someone knows it too.“We must have heard wrong,” Landon said, it felt like he was trying to convince himself,

Gianni's POV“Why are you here?” I asked as I strolled through the Vaitape village market.It was a beautiful place; there was jewelry, clothes, and so many other beautiful shops.“Last night, I asked you not to bring up Sheila's name with Damian, then why did you do it?” Landon asked from behind me.“Did he tell you?” I tried an earring on, “Does it fit me?”Landon nodded his head, “No, he didn't but his reaction gave away the conversation.”“I will take this,” I smiled at the seller and paid.“You shouldn't have,” Landon muttered.“He is my husband and I have the right to talk to him about anything I want to,” I said calmly, trying not to bring any attention to us.“I told you you shouldn't have that conversation with him; then why did you do it?” I stopped when Landon questioned furiously.“Excuse me?” I was surprised, why the fuck was he angry?“Gianni, you don't know what it means to lose a loved one in front of your eyes; you don't know the feelings of opening old wounds.

Gianni's POVLandon burst into laughter, “Sheila? A twin? Never, she was the only child of her family and why are we talking about her now?”“Not to sound crazy or anything, but I saw someone who looked like her,” I waited for Landon's reaction and he looked at me like I was crazy.“That's the most impossible thing; Maybe you saw someone who looked like her, but seeing her? That's impossible,” Landon said, shaking his head.“But…”“Sheila was pregnant, they said it was Damian's child,” Landon scoffed, “She had some complication that night so Damian had to rush her to the hospital, she wanted water so he got down from the car to get water but when he returned, the car was no longer there and people were gathering at the edge of the cliff.”“What Happened?” My curious ass asked as I was invested. Damian never agreed to tell me anything about Sheila or how she died.“A truck had hit Damian's car with Sheila inside, both Damian's car and the truck fell off the cliff, their body and the ca

Gianni's POVWe arrived at Bora Bora, French Polynesia for the honeymoon. Mrs Lisa booked the resort and it's the most beautiful place I have ever seen.I had never been outside LA, but this was a beautiful experience; I would never trade.“Do you like it?” Damian asked when he saw the smile on my face.“Yes, it's beautiful,” I smiled as I looked around.The receptionist opened the door to our Overwater bungalows, I hurriedly entered the room to see what it was like. The room was decorated with flowers, it was spacious, and had only one bed. I know for a fact that Damian didn't plan one bed.“Is there another room? Or a room with two beds?” I heard Damian ask and that made me sure he wasn't aware of the room from the beginning.“This room was reserved under your name,” The woman was trying to be professional, “I'm sorry sir, there is no other vacant room at the moment but when there is one, I will be sure to let you know,” she said when she realized Damian wasn't having it and left.

Gianni's POV Sheila? He called his wife's name, I shouldn't let it affect me but then again, I didn't have the right to be angry, after all, I'm just the kids nanny and he was drunk. I didn't run after him; I entered the bathroom and brushed the alcohol away from my mouth and his fingerprint from my body. I tried my best not to say or think anything; I just went to bed, but what happened played the whole night in my head till I slept off. ********* I was worried; it was 9 in the morning, and Damian wasn't back; I wasn't worried because I cared or something; I was worried because he was drunk when he left the house yesterday. “Gianni, the head of the department has agreed to let you rewrite the exam, so prepare for it,” Professor Lisa informed me, and I smiled. “Thank you,” I was happy, at least I will pass my exams. “Sometimes we just need to be strict for everything to go well, one day everyone will find out that you are my daughter in-law then people will say a lot, I hope y
