Chapter 5

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, entering the car I slammed the door shut.

I push the start button and the engine roared to life.

My family definitely knew how to push my buttons. Especially my brother. I fucking hate him. My mother tried her best to get us to bond but it never works.

It was a 1 hour 30 minutes drive to the safe house.

I agree it was foolish of me to sleep with that woman but Antonio has no fucking right to tell my father.

He's got some balls to piss me the fuck off.

If he wasn't my brother he would be dead by now either way that mother-fucker needs to be put in his place.

As the buildings passed by me in a blur, my mind wandered off to Gabriella.

I've never had the urge to kill someone as bad as I want to kill her. The thought of snapping her neck brings a smile to my face.

The Carson's have originated first in America but fled to Italy and that's when they first met the Sangriento's. At first we were allies but of course the Sangriento's double-crossed us and our two families have been at war ever since.

When I first found out that the leader of Leone d'Oro was a woman I was in shock because there aren't that many mafia's led by women.

I hate to admit this but she's doing a pretty good job.

My hand gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles turned white as I imagined all the ways to kill Gabriella.

I'll make sure her death is slow and painful.

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO 

I sat there and analyzed the club.

The smell of alcohol and sweat filled my nostrils.

I still can't believe that it was so easy to seduce Giovanni, I've seduced many people and I've realized that it's simple to seduce men.

Women, they are a bit of a challenge but I always succeed.

Taking a sip of my drink, my gaze shifted to the entrance when one of guards opened the door for someone.

I smirked when I saw him walk in followed by two other men.

A waitress bumped into Giovanni and he snapped. Yelling at the woman as if she was a school child who didn't complete her homework.

Well someone pissed him off.

Guess I'll have to piss him off more.

I finished my drink then placed the empty glass on the table in front of me, Grabbing my purse beside me I pulled out my gold Beretta 92FS gun aka, Rose.

I cocked the gun then stretched my arm out,

I smirked then pulled the trigger aiming for Giovanni's right-shoulder.

People screamed when they heard the gunshot and started to run out of the club.

I brushed my long hair to one side then placed my baby back in my purse. I stood up and calmly walked out the club. I watched as people pushed each other as they ran out of the club like wild animals.

When I exited the club someone grabbed me by the arm then shoved me up against the wall.

I looked up and noticed it was one of Giovanni's men and beside him stood Giovanni.

Luca I assume that's his name.

"Evening boys." I greeted.

"What the fuck is your problem?" Luca hissed as he blocked out my air with his forearm.

I gasped. "I wanted to drop by and say hello to Giovanni." I told him as my gaze shifted to Giovanni who stood there with a bullet wound.

Luca was about to speak but the sound of sirens stopped him. I smirked.

"The police are on their way."

"Might want to explain that." I told them, pointing towards Giovanni. They both looked at each other then back at me.

Luca mumbled something under his breath before letting me go.

I licked my lips then walked past Luca.

Giovanni grabbed my wrist and whispered in my ear.

"I'm simply warning you." He trailed off. "The next time I see you I won't hesitate to put a bullet through your head." I smirked and replied. "We will see about that."

Removing my hand from his grip I glanced at him one last time before walking away.
