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 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

Gianni's POVI finished paying for the things I bought at the supermarket. The black sedan was still outside so I hurriedly dialed Louis' phone number. Louis is my coursemate, friend, and next-door neighbor, and my love interest.I knew the black sedan wasn't going to hurt me but I still needed someone by my side"Why didn't you pick up on time?" I asked over the phone anxiously"Hey, young lady, I was quite busy you know but anyway what's up?" he complained over the phone, I could hear a female voice in the background."Louis, I need you to come and pick me up right away," I said, my voice filled with urgency.Louis sounded surprised at the urgency in my voice."What's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his tone."I'm being followed by the same sedan and it's parked outside the supermarket right now," I explained, trying to keep my composure, not because I was scared but because my life was falling apart."For real, he was mad to follow a crazy girl" Louis laughed on t

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

"Come in, thanks for coming all the way here tonight," we entered the house as she led the way upstairs and I followed behind we got to her room, and she sat down and arranged her makeup. "It's no problem ma, after all, it's work," I flashed a polite smile. "The kids are watching TV in the children's playroom and don't forget the kids are allergic, just prepare dinner and breakfast, in the morning get them ready for school and the driver will take them to school, yes it's just you and the kids at home, their dad isn't at home, I don't know when he will be back and I'm going out now," professor Lisa explained while arranging her makeup. "Do I look good?" She asked and I nodded my head in response with a smile on my face, "I'm leaving now, make sure to use only my room." I followed her downstairs and saw her off to her car before entering her house and

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

Gianni's POV The cops didn't come for us that day, they came because someone had called concerning some noise from the lower unit and I couldn't be more happy. I changed the channel continuously searching for any news of the unconscious man but there was nothing, Louis didn't want to get involved because of his father. "Still searching?" Luna opened a can of beer and handed it to me. I took it from her hands and drank it, "That hit the right spot," I finished it in a go. "No news," Luna drank out from her can of beer. "Nothing and Louis doesn't want to get involved except for treating him, it's been two weeks and he hasn't opened his eyes," I took a deep breath. "How come no one is looking for him?" Luna raised her eyebrows. "They are, maybe we haven't just seen," Arabella said when she entered the living room, she took the TV remote and began checking each channel. "Stop! Go back," I yelled the moment my eyes caught something and Arabella obeyed without complaining. It was L

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

Damian's POV Seeing Gianni call out to Louis in that forest when I was standing right behind him says a lot. I did my best to save her within a few minutes and all she thought of was Louis. What a fucking joke. Humiliating Gianni wasn't on my list but the fact she was with Louis and smiling. Everyone thought they were engaged, and they weren't debunking it; they just kept quiet. I didn't want her to come to the event because of her accident. I wanted her to rest at home, but she was here, in another man's arms. I know I was harsh to her but if she had just once said she wanted to come to the party, I would have also had Landon to bring her. I may not want to introduce her as my wife to the public but I didn't want someone else to do that when we were legally married. I'm guessing Louis got her the dress; it was a beautiful dress, it made her stand out and look elegant among the women here, but she must get rid of the dress. “Where is Gianni?” I asked Landon after I didn't see
