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 I stood at the front of the dressing mirror in one of the biggest, most luxurious, and most expensive wedding dress boutiques in LA. I looked at the wedding contract in my hands as the madam of the boutique used pins to hold the white veil to my hair. Today I was going to be married to a man I do not love and a man I have never seen. What if he is crippled? What if he is an abuser? What If he is a monster? Tears slid down my eyes as my mind wandered back to the day that brought me to today. ********* "Gianni, are you okay?" Luna asked as I was about to rush to the hospital. "It's Zion, the hospital called," I couldn't explain and rushed out, Luna followed behind till we got to the hospital. When we both arrived at the hospital, I ran to the doctor's office, "What's wrong with Zion?" I cried out. "Miss Gianni, I would appreciate it if you could calm down, Zion's condition worsened overnight and he needs a neurosurgeon right now," the doctor explained. "A neurosurge

Gianni's POV Why was the stranger I saved walking to the altar and Landon was behind him? "Sorry I'm late and don't mind the blood," Damian apologized to the priest before he glared at me. My jaw dropped slightly as my eyes widened in surprise under my veil, the stranger I had saved that night was Professor Lisa's son and I am marrying Landon's boss right now!! "Sure," the priest began to conduct the wedding ceremony. "We signed our vows already so there is no need to say it and please do not say kiss your Bride," Damian smiled at the priest and he gulped. I wondered why the priest was so damn quiet listening to every single word Damian said, I could see fear in his eyes and his hands were trembling as he spoke. My eyes landed on the glass table on the altar and from the reflection I could see an assassin on the rooftop aiming its gun at me. Why me? Or was it the priest? Or could it be Damian? I couldn't care less if it was either Damian or me. At least I will be free. The pri

Damian's POV I stood in front of the mirror as Landon adjusted my tie, getting me ready for the wedding. I only knew the woman I was getting married to was a golddigger, she was marrying me because of my money, at least she should take care of my children with the money. My mind wandered off to the day I received the news about my wedding. ******** "Damian! Damian!" Mother called out as she ran downstairs in excitement. "I'm here," I managed to say as I sat up on the couch. "I found a wife for you," the color on my face drained. "What? How?" My voice barely whispers. "The kids' nanny, they are very fond of her so it will work and I can vouch for her, she is my best student," mom giggled like a little child. "Does she know about me? What is in it for her?" I couldn't understand why a lady would want to marry someone she didn't love. "Definitely, she will be your wife in return I have to save her family," I burst into laughter. She marrying me for money, what could I expect, a

Gianni's POV I got to the parking lot downstairs, there were so many cars, and confusion flooded my mind as I didn't know which car the key belonged to, I just prayed it was something I could drive. I don't know how to drive very well, I don't have a license, damn I'm done for. I pressed the key and a lemon sports car went on. I didn't have the time to admire its beauty, so I rushed into the car and drove straight to Louis Family Hospital. As much as I was worried about Louis, I was also worried about Selena and Francis, they were alone at home but I guess my heart cared about Louis more. I arrived at the hospital and parked the car in a good spot. The car was difficult to drive, maybe because it was a sports car. I had only driven Louis cars, the truck at where I worked, and a motorcycle. I ran upstairs to the VIP ward, Arabella already informed me of Louis' ward number. I felt someone following behind me but anytime I stopped and looked there was no one around, just me and the

Gianni's POV I returned Damian's sleeve to his closet after dry cleaning it. Damian and I both agreed not to stay in the same room till the marriage comes to an end, we agreed to be married in name and paper only and enjoy the benefits of the marriage while it lasts. I heard a knock on the door gently, "We leave in 10 minutes," Damian said softly. "Sure!" I yelled from the bathroom, I didn't know who were going to see and I was told not to question his movement. I wasn't allowed to wear any of my old clothes because they didn't look like what a boss' wife would wear, my wardrobe was replaced with more elegant clothes. I put on a light pink gown and heels which was the simplest dress I could find which was also extra in my dictionary. "I'm ready," I announced as I got downstairs, without saying anything or glancing at me, Damian stood up and went straight to the car, of course, I followed behind. "I didn't ask anything about the people we were going to meet?" I finally sum

Gianni's POV I waited patiently for hours for Damian's personal assistant to show up at the dress shop, I didn't know her by face or anything, I was tired of waiting so I brought out my phone and dialed Damian's number. "Damian speaking, please who is on the line?" Damian's voice asked from the other side of the phone. "It's Gianni," I replied. "Who is that? How can I help you?" Damian asked I rolled my eyes, what does he mean he doesn't know his wife's name? I wasn't willing to introduce myself to him, if he doesn't know my name so be it, "I'm at the dress shop and your personal assistant isn't here yet." ''Oh your name is Gianni, okay, she will be there soon," Damian said, "Give her the next twenty minutes, she is on an errand right now." Before I could answer, Damian ended the call in my ear. I sat down back on the chair waiting for Damian's personal assistant. "Gianni," I turned when I heard Landon's voice call my name, "what are you doing here?" "I came shopping," I smi

Gianni's POV My scream brought everyone in the house to my room, I didn't know there were this amount of people in the house. "Mrs Salvatore, are you alright?" One of the housekeepers asked, that name seemed foreign to my ears. "Who came into my room?" I threw my dress on the bed. "No one ma'am," one of the security team answered. "What do you mean," I was about to cry out when my eyes caught a scattered hand bead on the floor, "You know what, nevermind, just go back to what you were doing, I'm sorry for disturbing you," I smiled at them, I locked the door as they left the room. Beads? These look like children's beads, I bent down to pick them up and it was the same hand beads Selena was wearing earlier today. Why did she do this? Was she trying to get me killed by her father? I tried to control my emotions but couldn't as the tears came running down, I tried to stop it but couldn't. Damian would be angry if I didn't wear what his personal assistant had chosen and worst off he w

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
