Dark Paradise Chapter 31
LUCA RODRIGUEZ "This is bullshit." Enzo barked slamming his fist on the table.Oscar rolled his eyes and continued to scroll through his phone.Gabriella and Giovanni are outside as they talk privately. When they spilled the beans about them working together I was happy.Finally Chiara and don't have to be a secret. I'm tired of all the sneaking around and lying. It's exhausting but we shouldn't tell everyone that we are together immediately, they will obviously find out that we were together before the alliance."Are you always like this?" Oscar questioned, setting his phone on the table.I leaned against the window frame with my arms crossed as I watched Oscar and Enzo.Chiara mumbled something under her breath before she approached Oscar."Leave him alone." She whispered to Oscar.Oscar placed his hand on Chiara's back and jealousy washed over me. I locked my jaw and clenched my fist, fighting the urge to break this guy's hand.Chiara turned to me with a smile then narrowed her ey

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Where the hell is she?!"We landed a few hours ago. During the flight Giovanni tried to convince me to not kill Amelia but I disagree. Whoever betrays me should be killed and I will stand by that till the day I die.I push open the door and as soon as Giovanni and his men step in, everyone in the weapons room pulls out their guns pointing it towards Giovanni.The room went silent but you could hear the whispers. "Stand down." I shouted. They all looked confused and hesitated. "I said, stand down." I repeated slowly.They all lowered their weapons, I turned to Giovanni. "I told you to stay in the car." I whispered. He leaned in and everyone's guns cocked. "I don't take orders from anyone, Gabriella." He said with his deep voice. Clenching my fist I took a deep breath and turned around, immediately everyone lowered their weapons' again.Working with Giovanni will be difficult."Amelia Sanders! Where is she?"Everyone turned their heads to the back and Amelia

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Motherfucker." I pinch the bridge of my nose then took a deep breath to calm myself.Amelia was sweating as she was covered in her vomit. After she woke up she started fighting, trying to get out of the chains. I shut her up by slapping her but that made the situation worse, she vomited all over the place and now she smells like shit."I'll get Oscar," I said. "No, we don't have time." Giovanni replied.I turned to Amelia who gawked at us with hatred as her chest was rising up and down."You're wasting your time with me," Amelia spoke up.Giovanni raised a brow. "I won't be telling you anything. Kill me, torture me do whatever you want my lips are sealed."Giovanni chuckled. "Oh, we know.""I've known you longer than Gabriella and I know your weakness."Amelia has been in the gang for four years. I don't know much about her but we were close.Giovanni pulled out his phone then typed in something before placing it back in his pocket. A few minutes have pass

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO The kiss was slow and passionate. For some reason, I wanted to kiss this man forever.My heart began to pound against my chest. I was on fire, feeling desire run from my heart to my chest and all the way down between my inner thighs.His fingers traced my face and the hairs on my neck rose. I got chills.His right hand went from the sides of my head and down to my neck, then my arm and down to my hand, He grabbed my hand gently yet firm.Then locked our hands together as he deepened the kiss.My heart is about to beat out of my chest. I haven't felt like this before. What scares me is that Giovanni is letting me feel like this.I hate to admit it but I love it.He pulled away and we both were out of breath.He bit his lower lip then leaned in and his warm breath tickled my neck, goosebumps immediately covered my skin.Giovanni kisses my shoulder and runs his lips on my skin all the way to my earlobe. His lips brushed my neck, I tilted my head wrapping my fr

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON "Not impressed," I stated.Gabriella rolled her eyes. "You seriously think you can win a fight with me." She argued.Her breathing is heavy from all the training we've been doing for the past two hours. She looks beautiful even if she's a mess.Her chest is rising and falling. Her body is covered in sweat which makes her skin glow with her long hair tied in a high ponytail.I enjoyed the view.She wore a black sports bra and leggings. She should wear leggings more often, her ass looks hot in those.She snapped her finger and called out my name. "Focus," she said.I ran my fingers through my hair then threw my head back, groaning with annoyance.I only wore white classic track pants.Gabriella and I stood in our fighting positions. A few seconds have passed and Gabriella smirked.She swung her arm but it was weak so I caught her fist.She frowned, annoyed and I met her eyes. "Focus." I said to her,Gabriella rolled her eyes then pulled her arm back with more inte

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON "Thank you for coming," Gabriella spoke through the microphone.There were whispers heard in the silent crowd."Some of you might know that Mr. Carson and I have history," she said."We have decided to put that aside and work together. I know this is too much to take in but this is happening for a valid reason.""So we have gathered here today to celebrate unity between us two gangs."Gabriella handed me the microphone. "It will take time for us to trust each other." I spoke.Everyone nodded their heads."There will be new rules to follow, break any of these rules and you will face the consequences of your actions.""Betray either of us, there will be consequences."Gabriella stepped forward. "If you disagree with this and you know you won't be able to cope with these changes, please make your way to the parking lot."The guards opened the main door, and about fifty people walked outside."Anyone else?" Gabriella questioned.Everyone looked at each. Some looked

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON I felt warm. A sweet fragrance filled my nose.I opened my eyes and blinked rapidly so that I could adjust to the light. My right arm felt numb yet static.Gabriella's eyes were closed, her long eyelashes kissed her cheeks.Her pink lips were slightly apart as she took slow calming breaths.Her dark brown hair was messy and covered almost half her face.I smiled like an idiot as I watched her sleep.So peaceful and innocent. I could just kiss her awake but she needs her rest.Last night.Last night was unexpected. It's the first time we've spoken in a vulnerable state. After our talk, I told her that I'll be heading home but she offered that I stayed for the night.Gabriella groaned, then changed to a more comforting position.I slowly lifted her head and gently placed her on the pillow. She snorted a bit and I chuckled.Cute. I thought to myself.I removed the covers and slowly stood up. I covered Gabriella then walked over to her bathroom.Her bathroom is real

POV - CHIARA MARINO "Hey." I hear from somewhere nearby.I didn't bother to turn around.Luca and I got in a fight. He was upset because I wasn't supporting the decision Gabriella and Giovanni made.I don't know why we fought over something so stupid. The thing about Luca is that he gets pissed over the stupidest things.Other people may say that I should leave him, but I don't want to leave him. Yes I agree that him being short tempered can be overwhelming sometimes but that's why I'm still with him.His other side isn't pleasant but besides that-his very kind, funny and caring when I'm with him.On the outside his cold but in the inside his a whole different person, it may surprise you.I flinched when someone squeezed my shoulder, turning my head. I smiled when it was Gabriella."Oh." I said then looked away and continued to watch the rain."How are you?" Gabriella questioned.How am I?I don't know how to answer that question. A lot has been happening and it's been difficult to p

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
Dark Paradise Chapter 46
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
