Dark Paradise Chapter 39
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

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON There was no doubt that we were toxic, foolish and naïve. Blinded by the mere thought of an everlasting tension.And it sucks when you know that you need to let go, but you can't because you're still waiting for the impossible to happen.I sat there, watching people dance to the erotic music, The lights constantly changed color illuminating the room with bright neon colors.blue.red.pink.purple.Each time the colors changed, so did my thoughts.Pink reminded me of Gabriella's sweet side, love, kindness, and femininity. She's stuck between who she is, who she wants to be and who she should be.Blue, the depth, trust, loyalty we have...well had. Everything about her I loved, especially that smile. She wore a smile like a loaded gun, a mess of gorgeous chaos and you could see it in her eyes.Red, seductive, violence and dangerous. She is different and I like that shit. Disguised as a red rose but she isn't soft when her petals fall they hit like bullets. She's c

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

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 - 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
