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 - 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

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."

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 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

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

I built a wall around myself, pushing away the people that tried to break through.I was young when I lost everything. People pitied me and I hated that.I showed them that I didn't want to be saved but deep down I knew I was lying to myself. I wanted to go somewhere and scream as loud as I could. I wanted to pull my heart out and burn it and be heartless.I was afraid of being destroyed by someone but what I didn't know was that, I was slowly destroying myself.People feared me and thought I had it all, I did but it wasn't enough.Everyone had someone to turn to during their darkest days.

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
