Don Raniero's Downfall 11
"I'll make sure I have better information for you." I stood watching the car drive off. I sighed loudly. I needed to act smart and quick."What are you doing out here?" A voice said, making me jump up in fear. I clutched on my chest tightly.I swallowed, thinking of every possible thing to say that'd sound reasonable. When my eyes met Russo's curious eyes, i sighed in relief.At least, it wasn't Julian"What? Are you stalking me now?" I folded my arms under my breast."I heard you talking." He raised his eyebrow at me.Oh shit. How much did he hear?"I mean, is it your first time hearing me talk?" I laughed, shaking my headYou are killing this act baby girl! I cheered myself."You think you're smart." He took threatening steps at me but I didn't flinch because I knew he wouldn't do anything to me without Julian's order."Am I not?' I smiled, still standing my ground."Well, I guess you'll have to give your explanation to Julian himself." Russo took me by my hand, pulling me with him

"What's this?" I asked the young man who was standing in front of my door."I'm Kris. Your personal bodyguard." He introduced himself, almost making me laugh."Personal what?" I held my stomach, now laughing. "That was a nice joke" I pointed at him, my laugh dying down when I saw he wasn't laughing "I'm not joking" He replied, his face straight. He was serious. I still didn't believe it so I did something. I moved from where I stood to another spot and Indeed, he was following me. Oh goodness!"So you're really my personal bodyguard" I turned towards him, my hands folded under my breast. "I see""It's my duty to keep you -""Where's your boss?" I raised my eyebrow at him, inquisitively. "I...""Wait for me." I rushed into my room to throw a decent dress on and dashed out immediately. "Let's go" "Where to?""I don't care about you buddy, but I can't have you following me about." I shook my head, increasing my pace."Damn girl! You now sleeping with one of the guards?" A girl I do n

Julian's POV"She didn't do it" Russo said, pouring himself a glass of Champagne."She didn't deny it too" I stated. I mean, I was there."I don't know much about Grisella but I know facade when I see one." Russo scoffed. "I think you might be wrong on this. Grisella has been nothing but timid. She was always determined to do that which was in her mind." I smiled, reminiscing on some past memories."In otherwords?" Russo asked."You're probably seeing the real Grisella. It's no facade." I sighed. She really grew worse. "She was your step sister so of course, you know better. I just can't wait to see the sweet part in her. If there's any" Russo chuckled "I have something I'd like her to handle. She seem to be the perfect fit for the job" I said, unbuttoning my shirt."What's that? When are you going to let this girl go?" Russo gave me some lookI didn't like the second question at all."She hasn't paid enough. I can't let her go" I answered through gritted teeth"Are you sure that's

"From now on, Grisella is only answerable to me." I announced, looking at each and everyone with a deadly glare.They knew better not to utter a single word."What about me?" Hannah said, standing up from where she sat with my mother.Of course, only she didn't get scared because of her father's position. "My duty is to protect my family. You all are my family." I answered, not paying much attention to Hannah."I'm not fine with this unilateral decision" Grisella finally spoke up."She dares to talk when the Don is talking" Mother tsked, eyeing Grisella up and down.I really don't know what transpired between these two but I knew for a fact that they weren't on each other's good book."I mean, isn't he -""Grisella!" I snapped my head towards her as I glowered at her. She rolled her eyes, clamping her mouth shut. She didn't like that I shushed her up but what she didn't know was that Ruthless Raniero was now active and he didn't give two fucks about her.She wanted it this way. She

Grisella's Pov"We're using a private jet?" I asked, rubbing my arms on the side of my thigh"Obviously." Julian gave me a short answer, moving forward not turning back once to check if I was following himHowever, when I turned back 3 hefty men stood behind me, scowling down at me. Easy, boys!I sighed, finally taking a step into the jet. I'm going to regret this later. "Why can't we use a car or something?" "Do you get air sick?" Julian spun around, his eyes on mine. Concern flashed in his face and then disappeared immediately."Me? Pfft!" Waving my hands at him, I scoffed. He shrugged before moving on like he didn't careMaybe cos he didn't care. I mean, I put him in that position.Do I feel bad about that? No. I wouldn't want any complications. I just want to finish with him and be gone without feeling shit."I'd advice you take a seat before we take off." Julian glared at me. I nodded, looking around for a suitable place to sit. I looked at the window and mentally shook my head.

Julian's POV"What the fuck do you mean, you can't find her???" I screamed at my good for nothing guards. They all stood there, not having a better explanation to give to me. Oh goodness!"Someone definitely broke in with you buffalos around!" I yelled, pointing at the broken flower vase on the ground."The... The only person that came in w..was the waiter" Marcus spoke. Why would a made man be stammering."So where's he?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at him. "Come" I beckoned on him. He visibly swallowed hard before coming closer. "Boss.."I clutched his shirt, pulling him close. "Where the fuck is he then?" I roared.What if my enemies got to her?"Get out! All of you" I yelled, glaring at each and every one of them.Frustrated, I threw a punch at the wall to aid with the need to let out my anger. I should call her."Shit! I don't have her number." I groaned, tightening my hand around my phone. I dialed on the number that entered my mind. "I lost her""Huh? What are you saying?" R

"Mhmmm" I moaned, arching my back. "Oh God! This is good""Is it?""Yes. It..." Wait. My eyes suddenly flew open. I quickly took in my environment. "I send you out on a mission and -" I groaned out loudly, cutting Julian off. I can't believe I ended up here again.Way to ruin my beautiful stretch."That wasn't a good sight at all." Shaking my head, I scoffed. "Huh?" He would definitely be confused because of course, I didn't say it for him to understand."Waking up from my beauty sleep to see your face, isn't a good sight at all." I clarified."Do you know how -" He stopped midway and took a deep breath. "Do you know how you made me feel?""You feel?" I raised my eyebrow at him, trying to sit up. I had moved my left hand but my right hand was moving, like it was restricted or something. My face went down to my wrist.Oh no, he didn't."I felt incompetent. I felt mad that you escaped under my control. That never happens." He pointed at me as he spoke. Whatever he was said was the lea

Julian's POV"I am not ready to get married!" I argued, dragging my chair back. "You will seat down there, Julian Vincenzo Raniero" My father, Vincenzo yelled. "Your brother...""Don't bring him into this. It is enough that I decided to do this so don't you dare bring him into this!" I stood up, my hand placed on the desk as my father and I stared at each other. My cousin who my father referred to as my brother was supposed to be the leader of our gang since he was older than I am but he told me how he didn't want it and to an extent too, I didn't want it but I had nothing to lose so I took it regardless.I had exempted him from taking great roles in our gang and allowed him to live a happy romantic life since I couldn't afford that. So, I still don't get why my father would want to drag him in"Then, be a man and do the needful" Vincenzo said, relaxing back, lighting up his tobacco."Needful." I scoffed. "Does marriage add any fucking specialty to the life of a man who was already

Grisella's POV"Excuse me, Pretty"Urgh!The one time I forget to put on my headphones or earpod, I get catcalled.With my eyes seriously trained ahead, I blew out steams as I jogged. "Don't reply rudely yet" I advised myself."Pretty..." The rumbling sound of his engined roared to life. "I just want to talk"Halting, I pinched the bridge of my nose as my head whipped back. "And I just want to jog. Can't you ...." I trailed off when my eyes connected with the most sparkly amber eyes.The light in his eyes were memerizing as my shoulders sagged, the anger that was coursing through my vein now calm. "Just few minutes" He gave me a lopsided smile. My heart skipped when his lips curled up. Who was this man?"Who are you? I don't think you belong in this earth" I folded my hands under my breast. "The man who's about to ask you out for a dinner later today?" He smirked, his eyes roaming down my body. The way his eyes traced every inch of my body, made heat crawl through my skin, adding to

Grisella's POV"Girl, I can't NOT take you to the hospital. It looks serious." This was one of the moments I wish I could bundle Jenna and throw her down a cliff. Her stubbornness is on another level."Trust me, I'm -""Is it pregnancy? Did you and my brother do it without protection? Is that why you're scared of going to the hospital?" She raised one eyebrow at me.Oh goodness "First of all, what the fuck? Secondly, we haven't even seen our genitals yet. I swear, I just need some peace and quiet and I'll be good" I shooed her away, covering my face with the fluffy pillow on my bed. Sorry, my new bed."I don't believe the second one. I mean, I knew you guys were fucking back then. I also know you guys are just playing around and would still -" "Jennaaaa" I groaned, shushing her up. I didn't want her to finish that statement. She laughed, pulling the pillow away from my face."On a more serious note, Ris...""Rosa, is that you?" I joked, raising my eyebrow at her. When she stared at

I should've hid him properly.Fuck! I shouldn't have said he was my child because I'd be exposing him to danger.I didn't want that for my boy. He didn't deserve to go through this rough, dark life."Maybe I should call Uncle. He'd know what to do" I picked up my phone, holding it mid air. "No! I can handle it myself" Dropping the phone, I bit my fingers, pacing back and forth. What the fuck do I do?"How about you start by explaining who the fuck the child is" A voice said, making me jolt. I clutched my chest, throwing my head back as I puffed out air through my mouth"Jesus Christ, Julian" Glaring at him, I folded my hand under my chest. "Oh hey, Dumbo. Didn't know you were still live" "Takes a lot to bring me down." Russo rolled his eyes, walking back outside. I knew he was giving us space. "Grisella.." He started but I raised my hands up. "I don't want to talk, Julian. I'm not cut out for that" I shook my head, walking up to my phone. Before I got to the phone, he snatched it

Julian's POVI couldn't believe my eyes. My mouth wouldn't even close properlySlowly, my eyes came down to meet the bubbly kid who I met crying a few minutes ago. I had soft spots for kids. It was something not everyone knew. Maybe it's because I didn't have much kid around me while I was growing. I think the only kid I watched grow closely was Jenna. "We should go, E" Grisella finally found her tongue, taking the little boy, Ethan, by his hand.Her eyes still looked puff from crying and this only sparked up more curiosity in me. My brain couldn't recall the last time I saw Grisella consciously cry. I mean, not crying because of a bad dream but crying because she felt some type of emotion that led to that."You taught me to be polite, don't be like that. Say hi" Ethan stood his ground, not wanting to follow her.Grisella smiled briefly at him. "Okay, E. For you" She ruffled his hair before turning to me saying a quick 'hi' that I almost missed. The way he looked at her spoke so mu

Grisella's POV"Say you love my company" Jenna smirked at me."Love? That's not in my dictionary" I smirked at her, looking at the time for the 10th time today.I was waiting for her to go out so I could get dressed and head out. I don't know why I feel like Jenna was asked to stay with me to regulate my movement."I'm not going out anymore then" She sat on the couch. "No!" I screamed almost immediately, jumping down from the island. She raised her eyebrow giving me an amused look. "Are you trying to get rid of me, Grisella Morretti?" She asked. I didn't want her to be suspicious and I was failing at it.My phone came on but I silenced it as fast as I could. I began to type away fast, forgetting Jenna was still there"Do you have an online boyfriend that you want to go out to see?" Jenna wiggled her eyebrow at me. "I could cover up for you" I choked on my saliva, coughing out loud. The cough then turned into a loud laugh. "I'm not trying to get a man killed again." "Ahhh. Julian r

Julian's POV"She said it was cold. I don't believe it" I said to Russo who was silent all these while. "So you think she's pregnant?" Russo folded his arms, calmly looking at me."That is the shit. Do you think she might be seeing someone?" I sat down, clamping my hands together. I wanted to bring a hospital to her but restricted myself from doing that. She said she was fine and I didn't want her to feel like I didn't trust her.Russo burst into fits of laughter, shaking his head. This only seemed to make my blood boil. "Does this fucking look like a soap opera or comedy show to you?" I slammed my hand on the desk.Russo straightened his face immediately. "I mean, you lock her in here everyday so...""You saw how she snuck out of the house. This isn't even the first time she's getting out of our sight and -""It's not what you think, Boss" Russo said, like he knew something that I didn't. As if to make it more suspicious, his eyes held a sad expression."What is it, Russo. What are

Grisella's POVIt was Devani.It was Luciano Devani all these while. I had recently found out his first name was Luciano. How did I see them working together. Where Vincenzo is restricted from acting, Luciano would take over from him, helping him out with his evil deeds.To think he always painted himself as a saint. Pfft."Nrghh!" I groaned, stirring. Remembering the incident that took place yesterday, I jumped up from the bed.I hadn't even laid my eyes on Josie, neither have I heard her voice. How do I even know if she was fine? "What the fuck?" I tried pulling my hand away but the cuff was restricting me. What was more suspicious was that the key was just on the table. The table as well wasn't out of my reach. So suspicious."I see you're up" A voice spoke, making me jerk. My free hand flew to my chest clutching it hard."Jesus Christ" I muttered under my breath, training my eyes towards the direction the voice came fromOnly then did I take in my environment. I was in a well d

Grisella's POVHe was hereHe was really here.I didn't know how to feel. How would you feel if the person you were hoping to come save you was standing there bargaining on your head?Well, at least he'd save me regardless. So, I thoughtMy heart swelled when his eyes met mine. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. Why was I so happy to see him?"150 million?" The man countered, standing up as well. My eyes ran down his short length. I gagged in my mouth as I glared at him. He was not only short but had a pot belly and fat too. I declared in my heart that I had suffered. My eyes shifted towards Julian who had his eyes fixated on the man. His mouth was clamped shut, not looking like it was going to open anytime soon."150 millions! Any contender? Don Raniero?" The MC's stupid voice echoed. If it wasn't for my current position, I would've snapped his neck. If we were in a ring, I'd beat his shit in less that 30 minutes. I wasn't even capping. My heart began to beat fa

Julian's POV"Why can't you trust me?" "Because now I know what you are. I know what you're capable of doing!" I yelled, throwing my hands up in frustration.Russo handed me a stick of cigarette, lighting it immediately. Impatiently, I placed it on my lips. "I didn't kidnap Grisella. I have not occasioned any harm towards her. She's the least of my worry because I know she won't last for long" Vincenzo argued "How did you get out?" I eyed him, taking a seat. My legs bobbed up and down nervously. My team were working on tracking her down but they were having a difficult time.I was buying myself time by giving my father my attention so I wouldn't be there rushing their ass and dumping my frustration on themI just want my Grisella back. I didn't know how I let her slip out of my grip and how she manages to bypass my security always shocked the hell out of me. Maybe I should keep standby guards close to the fences? "I was granted bail because they had no solid evidence" He said, po
