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 POVThe sound of my best friend Luna's favorite TV show was playing while I was arranging my things for work when my younger sister Arabella entered the living room with a familiar envelope in her hands.What was Arabella doing with that? I moved past Luna and I rushed to grab the envelope from her hands."Student loan, unpaid hospital bills, what the fuck are all these?" Arabella questioned as she pointed at the envelope.I entered my room to keep the envelope in one of my drawers and locked it, "Gianni I'm talking to you!"I came back to the living room and continued arranging my things, completely ignoring Arabella and her questions."How long do you plan on doing this?" Arabella questioned while Luna increased the TV."Arabella not now, when I get back from work we will talk," I tried to brush her off."It's been 12 years Gianni, 12 fucking years!" Arabella yelled as she stomped her feet on the ground."So what if it's been twelve years? Am I complaining?" I dropped my bag

Damian's POV As I watched my men restrain the captive, I felt a surge of frustration. The man before me is a potential threat to my underground Empire and I knew he was sent by an enemy. I ran both legal and illegal business. "Is he still refusing to talk?" I asked my voice tight with tension. "Yes, Don," Landon, my most trusted bodyguard replied, his eyes avoiding direct contact with mine. "He keeps insisting he doesn't know anything." My mind raced with possibilities. I had built this empire on a foundation of trust and loyalty, but sometimes, extreme measures were necessary to maintain control. This was one of those times. "Landon," I called, my voice carrying a mix of authority and underlying threat. Landon swallowed nervously, understanding the implications of the upcoming conversation. "Yes, Don," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "Remove his fingers, hit him more to the point of death and he begs to spare his life," I instructed, my tone firm and unwavering

Gianni POV My tranquility was abruptly shattered when a sudden sound of gunshots echoed through the night. Instinctively, I stopped in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest. I swiftly removed the headset from my ears, wanting to confirm that what I had heard was indeed gunfire. The sounds intensified, and Fear and adrenaline coursed through my veins. My instincts kicked in, urging me to find a safe place and I quickly scanned my surroundings, searching for any place to hide As I sought refuge from the chaos outside, I hurriedly entered an uncompleted building nearby, seeking shelter and safety. Unknowingly to me, this building was the location where the shooting was taking place. I pressed myself against the wall, my back flat against the cold surface, desperately trying to steady my trembling body. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead, trickling down my face as fear gripped me. My heart raced in my chest, threatening to give away my presence with its erratic beats. I focused

Gianni's POV I sent Arabella to call Louis the moment his car parked in the compound while I continued applying pressure on this man's wound with the help of Luna. "What is taking them long?" I complained to Luna who was cleaning the stranger's blood. "Gianni," Louis opened the door looking disoriented, the moment he saw me, relief washed over his face. "Thank goodness you are alright, I was scared as fuck when Arabella came downstairs," Louis put his hands on his chest before his eyes went to the motionless man on the couch, "Who is he? Did Luna do this?" Louis has always suspected that Luna has it in her to kill someone and I don't know why that was the first thing that came to his mind. "Really?" Luna rolled her eyes, her reaction showed she wanted to hit him but couldn't. "Gianni, who is he and what happened? How did he even get here in the first place?" A concerned Louis asked as he checked if the man was still breathing. "He is one of the godfathers I served the d
