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

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON It's been a month and things between Gabriella and I are going smoothly.We usually go to work, have a lot of meetings and training after work, we have dinner together then drive back to our houses either at my place or her own.We are all trying to get used to the new changes. People have been getting into stupid fights like youngsters. It fucking frustrated me.I'm currently in a meeting discussing shipping cocaine that we should smuggle across the border."That's fucking impossible." My client Rico spat bitterly, banging his fist on the desk.I rubbed my temple and sighed.Why the fuck is he being difficult?Before I could speak I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Curious about who sent me a message, I took my phone out of my pocket and saw it was a text message from Gabriella.I unlock my phone and open the message.- Today's plans are canceled. I'll make it up to you later.- Everything alright?I replied then placed my phone on the table."Mr. Carson." R

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO 2 weeks ago"What's wrong?" I questioned Giovanni.He's been quiet these days. I don't know if I did something wrong or if he's having second thoughts about us.We are currently at his house, it's cold outside so he suggested we start a fire and cuddle.He pulled me closer and began to play with my hair. "Nothing," he whispered.My back is pressed against his body while we lay on the carpet, a blanket covering our bodies. I proceeded to watch the fire slowly burn the wood."What happens after this?" His voice came out soft. I narrowed my eyebrows, lifting my head to find Giovanni already staring at me. "What do you mean?" I replied."All this," he said.What happens after this?I haven't had time to think about that. I don't usually think about the future. I don't know where I see myself in ten years.Dead maybe.OrI stepped down and someone else took my place."I don't know," I answered truthfully. "What about starting your own family?" Says Giovanni whe

POV - THEODORE SANGRIENTO I sat on the couch with Oscar as we both watched a true crime documentary.The front door opened then slammed shut and Gabriella's voice filled the foyer. A rush of awareness ran my neck to the length of my spine.I turned to face Oscar and he wasn't fazed by my sister's dramatic entrance."I'm guessing it didn't go well." He spoke, his gaze still glued to the screen. I sighed. "Yeah.""He thinks he can tell me what to do." Gabriella drawled.Before I knew it she entered the living room, she was breathless with anger.Oscar turned his head away from the tv and faced my sister with a scowl. "I take it that it didn't go well."She shook her head and stepped out of her heels.Her makeup was smudge with a trail of mascara running down her cheek."He's a selfish, arrogant, heartless fucker. I fucking hate him." She seethed with bitterness. Oscar's gaze flicked to the tv. "You don't mean that." He said calmly.Gabriella snickers. "Oh I do, I meant every single wor
