Dark Paradise Chapter 23
POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO A soft moan escaped my lips as he massaged my nipple while sucking on me.Biting my lip, my back arches a bit higher for him to eat me up.The way he looked, kneeling down, his head in between my legs. Licking me up and down like he's eating his favorite ice- cream drove me crazy.He pulled back and stood up. His lips found mine and the faint taste of me lingered in his mouth.My hands roamed over his muscular shoulders, digging my nails in his skin, he groaned in my mouth before he slightly played with my hard nipple.Biting his lower lip I slowly lowered my hands and slipped his hard erection out of his boxers then wrapped my hands around him. I started to stroke him slowly at first before lengthening my strokes and feeling all of him.He was hard and firm and it turned me on even more. "Fuck." He moaned. He broke the kiss, pressing his swollen lips on my neck, and sucked me hard but gentle. Shutting my eyes I tilt my head to the side giving him full acce

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "So you're telling me she's still alive?" I asked Chiara while playing with the bullets in my hands. "Si.""And Antonio?" I asked as I shook the bullets in my hands. "Yes."I nodded and picked up the pieces of paper that Chiara placed on my desk earlier.Unfolding the paper I notice that an address is written on it. "Is that the address.?" I questioned.She nodded and leaned forward. "She's living with her aunt and Antonio Carson. Well, we're still searching."I hummed in response and picked my glass then pressed my lips onto the rim of the glass as I took a sip of my Bourbon whisky."Sovana, Tuscany. 276.3 km away." I whispered to myself."Inform Oscar and Amelia to prepare themselves to leave in ten minutes," I said as I dismissed her.She nodded then stood up and left my office, shutting the door behind her.Two weeks have passed since I last saw Théo. I always call and check on him. He is slowly healing and soon he will be able to come back home.Esmée

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO I stared at it as it slowly burned my fingers, flicking the cigarettes as the ashes fell onto her soaking face."Please." She pleaded. Exhaling, I wiped away her falling tear and brushed the pad of my thumb along her lower lip."Ti avevo avvertito Esmee." I whispered to her. [ translation: I warned you Esmee. ]"And this is the second time, baby," I say, pinching her lip. "Where's Antonio?" I questioned.Pacing back and forth, waiting for her to respond all she did was sob, tears continuously pouring down her bloated face from all the crying. "Esmee?" I asked softly."Can't I just get it done with it, boss?" Amelia questioned. "No.""Be patient Amelia."I just want to send a message to Antonio, Do I want to kill her? Yes. but for now, I need her alive. "Amelia stared at Esmee attentively before she slapped her across the cheek. "La piccola stronza mi sta dando sui nervi." She spat. [ translation: The little bitch is getting on my nerves. ]"Amelia, fermati

POV - ESMEE BADEUAX My tears fall backward, burning as they singe their way down my throat. The room is dark and I can barely see a thing, the last thing I remembered was being knocked out.I try to get up but I'm pulled back by chains, this chair is so uncomfortable that my back is starting to hurt. I start to shift in my seat so that I can get a bit comfortable."Stop that." Says a voice from a distance. "Where am I?" I question the person. I can't see him clearly because it's too dark. "Who are you?" I asked once more."Could you stop asking these questions?" I hear another voice-a woman? My attention shifts to the door when it bursts open and I see two men walk-in followed by Gabriella. "You're finally awake." Gabriella cheers. Rolling my eyes I make sure I avoid eye contact. I don't want to look at her, after what she has done and acts like everything is perfectly okay it shows that she's a heartless bitch. "What do you want?" I say slowly. "Antonio, I want him dead." She says.

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO She stopped moving. "Check her."Francesco removes the cloth from her and pats Esmee's cheeks rapidly. "She's not breathing." He says.Nodding my head, Francesco hands me my gun, I stretch out my arm and pull the trigger as the loud noise causes my ears to ring.I lowered my gun and took a few steps closer to Esmee's body. Blood pouring out of the bullet hole in between her eyes, her dry pale lips are slightly apart. Her skin is cold and pale.I lift her right arm and let it go. Her body is stiff. She's dead."Camera," I say. He hands me the camera and I take a picture of Esmee. "Print this out and make sure Antonio Carson receives it by tonight.""Si" Francesco takes the camera from me then walks out the basement. Running my fingers through my hair I take a deep breath and take a deep breath in before walking out the basement.- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - -The cold wind blows in my hair, my skin coating with goosebumps.

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO Today is the day of the Masquerade ball and I just can't wait till I get back to Italy. It has been a while since I've been in New York so I'll have to get used to everything again.I stare at myself, through the full-body mirror and admire the view. My black dress reaches the floor with a long cut that exposes my right thigh and my chest slightly exposed including a gun that is strapped around my left thigh, just in case. My long hair is tied in a low bun with a silver diamond clip keeping it in place with my black glossy pencil heels.My makeup isn't that bad. The smoky eye makeup and mascara make my eyes pop out with deep red lipstick to complete the look I put on my black lace floral eye mask.I pick up my favorite perfume from the table, pull the cap of tilt my head up a bit then spray it onto my neck followed by my right wrist I then gently rub the sweet-scented liquid onto my left wrist.Once I'm done I place it back onto the table then I take my lac

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Giovanni." I hissed."Gabriella." He paused, raising one eyebrow. "Why aren't I surprised?" I say as Giovanni smirks. Our feet shuffle to the slow rhythmic classic Spanish music. "You don't seem very happy seeing me Ms. Sangriento."He's different in a good way. His body is more muscular and his hair is darker and an inch longer than before. His scent intoxicates me causing my legs to be weak.His black and dark red macramé lace mask complimented his honey eyes.Dirty thoughts of us flood my mind. I immediately push them back and try to stay focused.I must say I knew something wasn't right when they announced he was dead. You can't get rid of Giovanni that easily especially by a pathetic girl but on the other hand I'm surprised he pulled this off. Am I glad that he isn't dead?Yes, because now I can kill him myself but for now I need his help with something. This is so dumb, what I'm about to do is dumb.The tension between us grew each time we took a ste

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO When we walked out the ballroom, Giovanni placed his hand on my lower back.I shoved his hand off, pulled out my blade then pinned him up against the wall with the blade pressed against his neck."Don't fucking touch me." I snapped.He smirked, twisting my arm, he yanked the blade away from my grip, spun us around then pressed the sharp blade against my neck."Feisty." He teased.I rolled my eyes then aggressively pushed him away from me. I grabbed my blade out of his hand then tucked it back under my dress."Dick."I walked past him and marched over to my car.I pushed the start button and the engine roared to life, turning my head. Giovanni's car pulled up beside me, he rolled down his window and I did the same.We glared at each other, dark amusement filled his eyes.I broke eye contact and sighed, waiting for Giovanni to lead the way. His car drove down the street and waited for me in front of a stop sign. I shifted my gear then followed him from behind

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO 5 months later"Congratulations. It's a girl." Dr. Ricci whispered with a smile as he handed me my baby.I carefully took her in my arms."Hey," I whispered as I gently caressed my thumb over her soft skin. "You're a girl," I muttered as tears caressed down my face and gently splattered on the baby's face, she shifted in my arms and cooed."Sorry..."I chuckled lightly and brushed off my tear on her small face.I pressed my lips together and screwed my eyes shut as I thought of him.He said it would be a girl...I sucked in a breath then fluttered my eyes open, threw my head back as I stared at the ceiling.I miss him so much.I shook my head and let out a shaky breath. Looking down at the baby, I thought of her name."Isabelle." I whispered. I slowly leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.I gently tapped my finger on her small nose and made a bop sound.I wish he were here.- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - -I played with Isabelle's fingers while I was nursing
Dark Paradise Chapter 51
POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO The ocean was like a rippling blanket of electric blue. Squabbling seagulls flew overhead.It was soothing and I was glad to get away from the stresses of life."What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice was heard over my shoulder. "Nothing." I uttered.Giovanni was silent for a moment. "Thank you." I muttered out of the blue.He seemed shocked but immediately brushed it off. "For..." He trailed off.As I lay on my back, arms out with my eyes closed I wondered what I was thanking him for.I don't normally thank people but here I am thanking him for something.Probably what he did for my birthday. I don't normally celebrate birthdays, nothing too personal. I just grew out of it.I fluttered my eyes open and I gazed ahead. The sound of heavy waves crashing on the huge rocks and seagulls squawking brought a smile to my face.I chuckled softly. "I don't know." I said as I turned my body to the side, placing my head on my hand.Giovanni pulled himself up, w

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO His lips mashed against mine. I hungrily pushed him up against the wall, unbuttoning his black shirt then tossed it across the room.He unzipped my dress as it loosely hugged my body.Pulling away from the kiss I stepped back and slowly removed the dress. The only thing I had on was my white lace panties.He cussed under his breath then pulled me towards him. "Gorgeous." He whispered against my neck. I shivered as his finger slipped in my damp panties. "Fuck bellissima."A soft moan escaped my lips, I leaned on his chest as my fingers ran through his soft hair.He teasingly rubbed my clit, the adrenaline rushing through my veins wanted me to have more. "Giovanni." I moaned.He leaned in and whispered against my neck. "You want more?" His finger is sitting over my throbbing clit. I bit my lip then I looked up. "I want you."He kissed me slowly as he grabbed my bottom lip between his teeth.He caught me off guard when he picked me up bridal style and took us

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO One month later"Wake up."I groaned when someone slightly shook me. I slowly opened my eyes then shut them immediately when the harsh sunlight blinded me. "Why are the curtains open?" I mumbled as I pulled the sheets over my head.He chuckled and slowly removed the sheets. "Happy birthday."It took me a while to process what he said, it's my birthday...I sighed and forced myself to wake up. "How did you know today was my birthday?" I asked as I sat at the edge of the bed.Giovanni sat beside me and rubbed my swollen belly. "Théo."Of course, it's him. Running my fingers through my hair I turned to him. "I don't want to do anything," I stated truthfully.He rolled his eyes then his gaze shifted to my belly. "How is she?" He questioned. "He's okay." I smiled and placed my hand over his.As time passed I gasped when I felt him slightly kick. I turned to Giovanni with wide eyes. "Did you feel that!" I chirped.A wide smile plastered across his face. "I did."
Dark Paradise Chapter 48
POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO My birthday is coming up in a month.I haven't told anyone about it because I don't like celebrating my birthday.These past few weeks have been calm and quiet and it worries me. After I killed Esmee and sent her deceased body to Antonio. Antonio and his gang haven't been causing any trouble and I find is suspiciousGiovanni has been distant with his family after his mother's and Annah's passing.The only time they talk is when business is involved and it's only with his uncles.I sat on the kitchen table, legs crossed on the chair, watching Giovanni cook."Are you going to tell me what's for dinner?" I asked."No, you'll have to wait and see." He said.I hopped off the chair then walked over to Giovanni, his back was facing me but he still managed to look hot.He wore a simple black-t shirt with grey sweatpants. I tiptoed so that I could peek and see what he's cooking but his big frame was blocking the stove.I sighed and stepped back. "I'm hungry and preg

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO1 week later"This is dumb." I blurted out.Giovanni said he had a surprise for me, I thought it would be jewelry or something but now that I'm blind folded as we both walk in the woods at night I have no idea what it is."We are almost there." He whispered in my ear.Lately I have been so tired in the morning, my vision is messed up like I have to have one eye shut, and it lasts for an hour or so. Then, at night I have long blackouts and during the day I randomly.I hate the side effects of being pregnant.He held me tight as he guided me through the forest, as we continued to walk through the forest he let me go. I stopped in my tracks and silently waited for him. "Giovanni?" I called out.I pressed my lips together and slowly lifted the blind fold. The tall old trees towered above me like skyscrapers, warm light shining down through the branches. Turning around my heart fell to the ground when I saw lit candles and fairy lights hanging from the branches o

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO I sat on the couch with my legs crisscrossed as I forced myself to read a book.It's been cold for the past two days and due to the cold weather I haven't had anything interesting to do besides, sleep , read or watch tv.There was nothing interesting to do in Giovanni's house. He had quite interesting stuff but they weren't for me.Like a room where he practices his knife throwing, a study full of books (I don't like to read) and an indoor pool, room full of weapons and etc.I lifted my gaze when I heard heavy footsteps.Enzo walked in the room. He paused when he noticed me then searched the room."Oh, you're here." He said dryly.I ignored him and continued to read.I've realized that Enzo doesn't like me. It doesn't bother me at all because the feeling was mutual."Where is Giovanni?" Enzo asked. "You just missed him."Enzo sighed, his expression tightening with frustration. "Why are you looking for him?" I asked.He leaned against the wall with arms cro

POV - THEODORE SANGRIENTO 2 weeks ago"Am I making the right choice?" Gabriella spoke softly.I pulled her closer and rubbed her back up and down, Is she making the right decision?It's not my place to answer that question but all I can do is support her. "Do you think you are making the right decision?"She sighed, placing her head on my shoulder. "I think so." She whispered. "Mama wouldn't approve." She chuckled.Gabriella and Giovanni remind me of my parents. They adored each other but were never on the same page, it was the lack of communication between them.Mama was never pleased when papa would train us and teach us how to use weapons and papa would be furious whenever mama wanted us to go to a public school, he suggested we do home schooling. They would argue and not speak to each other for days or sleep in separate rooms. That's how bad it was.I thought they were being immature as adults. They should sit down and discuss their problems calmly.The problem I see with these t

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON three weeks later I tapped my cigarette on the table as I gazed out the window, Blood dripped down my face with my ribs burning and the lit cigarette in my hand. I was covered in fresh warm blood. It's not mine , it's for that fucking dead bastard who owed me ten fucking grand along with 20-balls of coke. It's warm outside, the sun is bright and there isn't a sight of clouds. Birds chirped, the wind blowing causing the large trees to dance with the wind. Enzo and Luca have been trying to let me talk with Theo, letting him explain everything. I didn't bother to meet up with him. She made her decision and I made mine. I'm planning on calling this whole alliance thing off, we currently won't be able to behave in the same room. And it will be awkward for the others. Without trust and loyalty this thing won't work. Tomorrow I have to make a call and inform Oscar about this. The whole plan with Antonio is still in progress but it will take a while since we are
