Captive Affair Chapter 27
Gianni was taking me to meet his grandfather Giovanni and I was extremely nervous. I was sure he would have seen us in the papers by now, the tabloids had made sure to put those pictures to good use.I had tried to make myself look a little more presentable for this meeting. I had gone with a simple and sophisticated black dress that fell just above my knees, it had thick straps and a box neckline.I even wore closed black heels for the occasion. "Would you stop fidgeting?" Gianni said as we pulled up in front of a beautiful villa. Even though it was well kept, I could tell it was old."Holy shit, is this where he lives?""Yes. Now, can we go in, or would you like a moment to continue worrying over nothing?""I'd much rather have a moment, but I suppose we can go in."Luca wasn't with us today, Gianni had given him a few days off to go home.In fact, none of the guards had joined us today. Not that there was a lack of guards here.I had spotted two at the main gate, and another two o

I had been wondering around the property looking for Gianni.We hadn't really spoken much in the past week after he had shot Talon, and I appreciated that he gave me space. But at the same time, I craved being around him and speaking to him.I hadn't seen him anywhere today and I spotted Talon in the kitchen.With a sigh I decided to check if he had seen Gianni."Hey."He looked at me with a frown, "Hey. You've been scarce.""Yeah. After Gianni shot you..." I trailed off."I'm as surprised as you are. But I shouldn't have disrespected you, so I guess I got what I deserved.""I don't think that makes it okay to get shot in the leg. Anyway, have you seen Gianni today?""Of course you are looking for him. Do you even want to be free from this anymore?"I frowned, did I? I wasn't sure what I wanted anymore."Kinley, do you really think he cares about you? He does not! He doesn't give a shit about you! You are nothing more than a conquest to him because you haven't given yourself up yet. T

Gianni had asked me to go somewhere with him.He was still injured, so I was surprised when we stepped out at one of the largest museums in town.I could see he was in pain from the way he winced every now and then as we walked around looking at the displays with my hand in his."Gianni, we should go back home so you can rest."He grinned from ear to ear, "You called it home. And no, I promised you a date, so you're getting a date."My heart sped up as I looked into Gianni's eyes. Why was I feeling such a strong connection between us? And why was it beginning to excite me? I found myself wanting to explore this further.I gave his hand a squeeze as we started walking around the museum, admiring the art.We made small talk and laughed together, and I was surprised that he was able to make me feel like we were the only two people there.My logical side was telling me I should have run when he had given me the option to. But even though a part of me felt this way, another part knew that

I walked into the study watching Gianni and his men going over their plan for the Morello family.The man who had been speaking stopped abruptly when I entered, but Gianni held out an arm towards me and I walked over to him."Everything okay?" He asked while pulling me to his side.I nodded and turned to look at the guns."Continue." Gianni demanded and the man glanced at me hesitantly before going on.I wanted to tell Gianni that Giovanni had called me, since Gianni had given me a phone he and his grandfather were the only ones to ever use my number.Giovanni had asked if I would like to go out for coffee and to see his boat. I quite enjoyed being around the old man so I had agreed, but I knew Gianni would appreciate if I ran it by him first.Luca was back so he would go with me, which made me feel a lot safer with everything going on.Luca was good at his job and he and I were beginning to form a friendship.I paid little attention to what was being said in the room until they bega

"How did it go today?" I asked Gianni as I walked into his study.He was sitting behind his desk and he sighed heavily before answering, "We did what we needed to convey our message. How did it go with my grandfather?"I sat on the edge of the desk near him, "He has a crush on the lady at the art studio. Bonnie?""I know. He has harboured this for years.""Well, I invited them both for dinner later this week. He just needs a little push, I hope you don't mind?"Gianni smiled, "You are finally beginning to treat this place as your home, how could I mind?" his eyes fell to the bracelet on my wrist, "Where did you get that from?""Oh, my mother was standing a few cars down and she gave it to me. It was really strange.""You do not speak of them much. When will I have the pleasure of meeting her?""I'm not sure if that's such a good idea.""Why? She doesn't have to move in, Gattina, I just want to meet your parents.""I'll think about it, okay? We aren't really on the best of terms.""She
Captive Affair Chapter 32
I had been asleep by the time Gianni had come in, and I had pretended to be asleep when he had left for his meeting in the morning.I still wasn't sure how I wanted to handle the new information I had gotten, and I kept looking over at the clock hoping to figure it out before ten o'clock came around. Luca hadn't said much and I assumed that was due to my attitude, it was clear I had no intentions of talking.My actual plan was to find Talon and dog a little more, but I hadn't seen him since waking up.I knew the girls who worked for Gianni lived in one of the houses on the property, but I wasn't sure if Luca would let me speak to them. I didn't want to ask him and risk alerting him if he was going to try and stop me from getting to the bottom of things."I'm going for a walk in the garden. I need to think, so please don't follow me. There are more than enough guards here to ensure I don't run off."Luca nodded although it was clear he wasn't very happy with this.As I made my way thr

To say I was on edge would have been an understatement.We were on the yacht, out on the sea, only the two of us. And yet I kept looking over my shoulder as if I expected the FBI agent to show up out of nowhere. I was sitting on the padded bench near the barrier, staring out into the distance.Gianni looked over at me, "I'm sorry if I scared you earlier."I frowned over at him, pausing my train of thought, "What?""With how I reacted," he sighed and came over to crouch in front of me, "I know I can be a bit too much with my anger. I'm sorry if I scared you," he took a hold of my hands in his, "For as long as I can remember I have always earned respect by making people fearful of me. I don't want it to be that way with you, but sometimes I forget and my anger gets the better of me. Old habits die hard, I suppose."He was apologising to me? "Did you kill Theresa?" I could have slapped myself. I had no idea why I had blurted that out.He looked up at me with wide, shocked eyes, "What?"
Captive Affair Chapter 34
I was sitting on my bed when my phone rang, I jumped in a panic when I realised it was the FBI agent who was calling. Somehow, I had hoped he would just go away."Hello?""Kinley, you answered, that's good. It's Agent King.""What do you want?""I need you to get me information. Gianni is having a meeting tonight, and our mole doesn't know if he will be privy to sitting in, so you will have to. I need you to record everything.""What? Are you crazy? If they find out I'm recording, they will kill me.""Don't worry about it, no one will find out. I'll make sure the mole gets a package to you. Add it to your outfit and that's all we need.""I suppose I don't have a choice in the matter?""You're a quick learner, I see. That's good, we will get along well then.""What if Gianni doesn't want to let me go with him?""You're practically glued to his side. He'll let you go."I cut the call without saying another word. It was making me angry and nauseas at the same time.I knew Gianni had a m
