Captive Affair Chapter 77
•KINLEY•Gianni was pissed off. I could feel it as we walked down the hallway, coming to a stop where no one would be able to hear us."Kinley, what is the meaning of this?"I raised a brow, "Firstly, Billie's sister has children here. Secondly, you know how important tonight was for me, why didn't you do this tomorrow? Why did you have to do this tonight?"He sighed, "Because I didn't want you involved in this.""Hence the half-dressed agent who was draped all over you.""Kinley, really? Now is not the time for this. We are busy with something important here.""Gianni, are you absolutely mad? We just spoke about this yesterday, did you forget? Together. Don't shut me out. And don't underestimate me."He ran a hand through his hair, "Can we talk about this when we get home?""No. You can't have the FBI rushing in here when there are kids around. Do you have any idea how scary and traumatizing that would be for them? I won't allow it."He remained silent as he stared at me for a few mo

•KINLEY•I had tossed and turned the entire night, my anxiety sneaking in like a thief of joy.When I had woken up the first thing I did was check the internet news sites, and sure enough, there were stories questioning why Gianni had not been seen at the re-opening and why I had left so abruptly.Some went as far as to have headlines asking if there was trouble in paradise.I put my phone down and made my way downstairs while still in my pajamas. To my surprise, Gianni sat at the table."What are you doing?" I asked. By this time he was usually in his study, or off doing something."Having breakfast with my wife."I took a seat opposite him, "Don't you have important things to take care of?"He frowned at me, "Of course I do. But you told me you feel neglected, I am trying to make time to spend with you.""Oh. Okay." I felt a bit bad that I sounded so cold about it, but I wasn't sure how to handle this.Just last night I had been wondering if we had rushed things, and now he was doi

•GIANNI•Once we landed in Mexico we went straight to the hotel room.Luca and I were sitting at the small table on the balcony, and despite Barnabas wanting to be involved, he stood near the railing speaking to Kinley.She laughed at something he said and I looked over at them."Boss, if you keep doing that, we're never going to formulate a plan."I knew Luca was right, but I didn't like how friendly my cousin was being. In my opinion, he was pushing it a bit too much for my liking."Gianni."I turned back to Luca, "I know, Luca. But look at him, he's practically throwing himself at her."Luca looked over at them before turning back to me, "I'm failing to see what you're seeing. Barnabas is being friendly with your wife. Would you rather he treats her badly the same way his mother does?""No. But we all know the Esposito men. He's hoping to get her into his bed."Luca sighed, "You're being jealous. Kinley would never entertain that idea and you know it. Now can you calm down and pay

•KINLEY•Gianni let me sleep while the three of them continued making plans.When I woke up I had some greek yogurt Gianni had bought me.The three of them were still on the balcony, even though it was beginning to get dark.After eating, I made my way out to them, "How is the planning coming along?""We have it all planned out. How are you feeling?" Gianni asked as he extended his hand out toward me."A little better. Are we going tonight or tomorrow?""Tonight."I knew that we all wanted this over and done with, so I wouldn't argue with that.I sat with them until it was time to leave.Originally I had felt fine about this, but now that we were actually in the car and on our way to Jade I was beginning to feel a bit queasy at the idea.As we drove, Gianni skimmed over the plan for me. We would stop near the front of the villa, and Barney and Luca would go around the back while Gianni took me through the front.To my surprise, just as we were getting out of the car, he handed me a gu

•KINLEY•When Gianni returned to the hotel, we went to the beach, leaving Barney and Luca to do their own things.He held my hand in his as we walked along the sandy shore."Do you think we should announce the pregnancy soon?" He asked, breaking the comfortable silence."Soon. Maybe once I reach fourteen weeks." I was only just reaching the twelve-week mark now and didn't feel ready to make the announcement yet."Whenever you are ready. Now that this is over, I would like to tie up any other unfinished business, such as the deal with King. Barney can start handling business with the guidance of Luca, I want to focus on us and the baby more."I nodded, "I would like that. I know we still have time, but we have a lot we still need to do before the birth. We don't have anything set up, it will be nice to have you involved in that."He brought my hand up to his lips, kissing the back of my hand, "We have a trusted therapist, I was thinking about going to see her.""Oh?" This was a surpri

•KINLEY•Today was the day, and I felt sick to my stomach over it.Gianni had set it up perfectly, all King had to do was show up.I had opted to remain home, wanting no part in setting up Billie's family.Luca was pretty much ordered to stay with me too.He went to wait for me at the pool while I went to the room to change.I needed to get my mind off of things and I hoped swimming would do the trick.I had just changed into my bikini when I walked back out into the room and saw Talon standing at the door.I instantly knew someone had let him out, there was no way he could have gotten out on his own.His shirt was off, and bruises, cuts, and scars littered his bare chest. His pants were filthy and stained."What are you doing in here?"He leaned against the wall and I could only assume it was for support, he had lost a lot of weight and looked very weak."Appealing to the good in you. I need to get out of here."I scoffed, "And you think I'm going to help you after what you've done?

•KINLEY•I could never have known how terrible things would begin to go when I opened my eyes.I was just walking out of the bedroom when I heard a loud bang that sounded out.I think deep down, I knew what had happened, but a part of me didn't want to believe it.My steps were slow as I turned towards the stairs that led down to the tunnels.I didn't even have to go down the stairs though.Talon was stumbling out of the doorway, blood pouring from the middle of his chest."Oh, my God!" I exclaimed as he fell at my feet, his hands clutching at my legs as he stared up at me.Gianni walked out behind him with the gun still in his hand."Gianni!" I looked down at Talon in shock. I couldn't will myself to move. I simply stood staring at him in a mic of shock and horror as his grip loosened before he slipped to the ground face down."You killed him. I asked you to help him, and instead, you killed him." I couldn't believe this.Gianni shrugged, a cold look on his face, "I eliminated the pr

•KINLEY•Gianni came in a few times while I was in the hospital, but I couldn't face him. I didn't want to see or speak to anyone, but especially Gianni.I felt some sort of resentment towards him, I knew I had agreed with him helping King.But I still blamed him for what happened, and I wasn't sure how to change the way I felt.I was signing my forms on my way to go home when I saw Luca waiting for me.I was hoping I would be able to leave the hospital without any of Gianni's people.I pulled my cardigan on and walked over to Luca, "Hi.""How are you feeling? I'm-"I held up a hand, "Don't do that apology thing. It wasn't your fault," I sighed, "Luca, I don't want to go back to the mansion right now.""I can take you somewhere else until you're ready."I looked down at the floor, "I don't think you understand me. I don't want to go back at all."Luca frowned, "What? As in you want to leave Gianni?"I shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe? Did he tell you KIng thinks this happened because of
