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

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 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
