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 - GIOVANNI CARSON I woke up to the sound of soft chirping birds, the pitter-patter of sensuous rain on the windowsill, the sound of A beautiful sweet mellow filled the whole house.I got up and excited the bedroom and went downstairs as I entered the living room, my smile grew bigger.Gabriella was sitting at the huge, shining white instrument , coaxing impossibly soothing melodies from it. She seemed lost as her fingers flew over the keys like a single cloud alone in the skyShe looked up and smiled at me, making my heart leap out of my chest."Why are you up so late?" I questioned.Gabriella sighed, she turned to face the piano."I couldn't sleep." She whispered as her fingers moved with grace, not playing but caressing the piano keys.I looked out the window. The sky was tar-black, A tinkling sound came to our ears as the first pearls of rain splashed onto the window."Sit with me." Gabriella uttered.She scooted a bit to create space for me. I plop myself beside her and watch
