POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO 5 months later"Congratulations. It's a girl." 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
Dark Paradise Prologue
𝐺 𝐴 𝐵 𝑅 𝐼 𝐸 𝐿 𝐿 𝐴I was afraid of showing my emotions.Afraid that they will take advantage of me so instead I turned my pain into power. 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. I had no one.All I ever wished for was for someone to put me in bed and stroke my hair telling me that everything will be okay. That I don't have to be strong all the time.I thought love was something that made you weak.I thought it was stupid.That is
Dark Paradise Chapter 1
POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Patetico." The man spat while he slowly paced around in circles, facing me with a smirk as I'm tied up."I'm surprised you're not giving up yet. Quite impressed." He stops in his tracks and pays full attention to me.Animosity crawled through me. I want him to pay for doing harsh things to innocent children.This prick has no idea that I purposely let him kidnap me.I'm Gabriella Sangriento, the most feared woman in Italy. Known as the Mafia queen and leader of the Leone d'Oro. It's not so easy to capture me. If the fucking police force can't do it why would a disgusting child molester easily capture me.Hilarious.Lorenzo has been torturing me into giving him information about the Furvus eques and even if I did have information about them why would I tell this bastard.I hate to admit this but I have no information about that gang.But this isn't any ordinary gang, we're dealing with the Furvus eques. My fucking rival and we've been competitors for almost

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON "Kill him," I demand my men beside me."Wai-wait I can still get you the cocaine, please just give me more time," Alex states while he lays on the ground."So you're saying that you can get me. My fucking thirty-five balls of cocaine that you stole. In twenty-four hours?" I question this idiot as I rolled my sleeves up."Y-yes." He stutters."Hmm, you were one of my finest buyers." I calmly shrug. "But this time Alex, this one time you chose to fuck up my trust," I say licking my lips, grabbing my blade off the table full of weapons.I slowly approach Alex while I carefully stroke my fingers on the sharp blade. "Stand up," I instructed him with a pressing tone. He slowly grips onto his knees for help to push himself up when he's about to reach my level he quickly collapses onto the bloody concrete floor."Aiutalo." I dictate my men. [translation: Help him.]They quickly rush up to Alex, aggressively pulling him up from the ground. He groans from the sudden pain.

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Gabriella." I declare as I draw a hand for Giovanni to shake. He gives me an unusual look then gently clasps on my hand and heaves it closer to his lips. He places a soft kiss on my right hand then lets go.Gentleman. I thought to myself."Alessandro." He utters while gazing into my eyes.I fought back a smile.He doesn't realize that I know who he truly is but he knows who I am.Interesting."So, what are you doing here at this massive club, all alone?" I question him as I take a sip of my cocktail.He slightly chuckles, then nibbles his bottom lip and thus responds. "I'm not alone, Bellissima."I raised a brow. "Friends, girlfriend-""Boyfriend...?" I added. He chuckled. "Friends." I nodded my head and watched him as he gulped a mouthful of his drink."What are you doing here alone, Gabriella?"My pulse leapt into my throat the way my name slipped out of his tongue sounded inappropriate yet so right.I noticed tattoos climbing all the way up to his ches

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON I woke up to a harsh light blinding me. I looked to my side and noticed that the bed was empty.She's gone."Merda."Pinching the bridge of my nose. My mind drifted to that woman.I would have killed her right then and there but...FUCK! This is embarrassing, I've killed thousands and never in my life have my enemies been one step ahead of me. I might have missed something.This is bad, really bad.I climbed off the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I splash cold water onto my face then stare at my reflection, anger boiling my blood.Idiota!I release my anger by punching the mirror in front me, it shatters into a million pieces.I just made the worst mistake and I regret it.- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - -I glared at Luca as he tried to catch his breath, blood dripping from his lips onto his white tank top."Again." I said as I wiped away the beads of sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand.Luca swung a punch towards my head instinctively I blocked it with my

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON "What is your brother talking about Giovanni?" My father questioned bitterly.I took a deep breath and turned my head to face Antonio. He smirked wickedly as he crossed his arms over his chest. My sister mumbled something under her breath."Giovanni!" He yelled, banging his fist on the table. My mother flinched.I hopped off the chair and grabbed my coat."Giovanni, come back." Annah pleaded. I turned to her and said. "It was a mistake coming here."She sighed and ran a hand through her blonde hair.Am I surprised that my so-called brother ratted me out? No.Am I pissed? Fuck yes.I needed to get out of here before someone gets hurt, badly."Giovanni, don't you dare walk away from me!" My father yelled from across the room as I walked out the front door and shut it after.I walked 2 blocks away to my all black Range Rover SVAutobiography petrol parked next to my sister's red Ferrari 296 GTB. I opened the car door then tossed my coat on the passenger seat, enteri

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Idiot." I scoff to myself as I bring the cigarette that's in between my index and middle finger closer to my lips. I suck in a breath of the toxins and exhale it through my nostrils causing a burning sensation.Whenever I saw Giovanni's face I wanted to slit his throat or rip his clothes off and do inappropriate things with him.I roll my eyes as I flick the end of the cigarette to reduce the ash that's pilling up. I sigh to myself as I shift in the bathtub trying to find a comfortable position to be in. Before I could stop myself, my mind drifted off to the delicious anticipation of being skin to skin with him once more. I bite my bottom lip as I feel my area ache for his touch.I clear my throat, bringing myself back to reality. That's enough of relaxing. I step out of the bathtub and take my towel from the hanger to cover my naked body. I walk out of the bathroom and my body is soaking wet leaving trails of water droplets on the floor. I walk into my h
