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

"You asked to see me?" "Yes. To give you the last warning." Delilah said, placing her manicured hand on the table. "I only need roughly 1 year. If everything goes well, 7 months" Struggling, I smiled at her."What do you want from my son, Grisella." She askedNow, that was a good question."I must commend. You're the only one who have asked me a very reasonable question" I nodded, applauding her as I started to jam my hands softly."Funny." She wasn't laughing. "Was it?" My face turned into a scowl now. "There's this saying that the only way to get to the parents is when you go through the child. Heard of it?"She raised her eyebrow in confusion, staring blankly at me. I laughed, shaking my head. "My, my" I covered my mouth before opening it again to talk. "You mean, you haven't heard that saying?" "I have heard it. I just don't understand what you mean" She said, frowning at me."You'll understand before one year elapses" I made a criss-cross sign on my heart. "I cross my heart"

"I just knew you'd be in hell with me" I said, when my eyes landed on Russo who had this worried look on his face. Immediately his eyes caught me, his worried look turned into a full time scowl. Aha! Just like the Russo I know. "Do you know that you're reckless?" Russo stood up, eyeing me as I sat upright."Oh my God! Did I drink and drive?" I gasped, putting up a surprised expression."You...""No way!" I shook my head. "Please don't report me to the authorities""Can you fucking quit acting. Jesus, you're so annoying!" He groaned, glaring at me. "Where's this?" I looked around. It looked like a hospital."Remember Rita? Yeah, I had to bring you to her when you decided that it was a good idea to faint outside" He seemed too angry and I just can place my hand around the reason"Don't you want to see me gone? You should've just left me there" I raised my eyebrow at him"That's not the matter!" He yelled. After few minutes of silence, he sighed and continued. "I want you gone not gon

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" I screamed into the pillow. I couldn't believe what I did yesterday."Anyone can be sexually attracted to anyone. Don't feel ashamed" Josie comforted me.She didn't get it!His smirk after hearing my confession still haunted me. He must've been feeling like some kind of boss.To top it all. His reply was like a Taser to my soul."I don't feel same. Get over it" I repeated to Josie. Those were the words he said to me.Bro! Neither do I!!!!!"You had to save yourself. Don't overthink it" Josie said, before snickering."Really? Oh wow! I thought you were my friend" I threw the pillow at her for snickering. "Now he'd thinking that I always fantasize about him. Argh!!""Why didn't you say something else?" Josie bit her lips. She was trying to stop herself from laughing and I knew it."I just said the first thing that was in my head. I didn't think it through" I groaned frustratedly."Maybe because you're sexually attracted to him?" Josie wiggled her eyebrow at me."That woul

Julian's POV"I got information about Grisella, Boss" Hugo, my private investigator told me, handing out files to me.My eyes travelled down to where she stood with my cousin, Jenna. They looked like they were having a heated argument. It's girl things. I rather not involve myself at all. "Come with me" I led the way to the garden. I don't know if I was ready to hear anything about Grisella because they'd only confirm or change how I thought about her.When we go to the garden, I sent all the guards out. This was a private discussion."She was involved in an accident when she was little, around age 12 and that was how she lost her parents." Hugo said, passing a photo to me. In it were pictures of little Grisella. She looked so much like someone I knew but I just couldn't place my hand on where I had seen her younger version before now."Go on" I nodded at Hugo"She seemed to have some sort of medical record from the hospital but some pages are worn out and messed up so I couldn't g

Julian's POV My tongues were tied. I stood there at a loss for words to say to her. My eyes drank in all her features, starting from her cleavages which were pointing outward, down to her sexy curvesFuck. She was going to be the end of me."You like?" Her small voice came out smoothly, sending shivers down my spine."What are you wearing?" I bit my lips softly, moving closer to her. She raised her eyebrow at me, confused. "Brother, I..." Jenna started but I spoke up cutting her off."I love it" I placed my index finger under her Chin, raising it up. "You look ravishing and I don't think I would be needing any food to eat tonight. I'd rather focus on eating something else or rather, someone else" Grisella's eyes flew wide open as she stared at me before letting out a soft beautiful laugh. My heart melted as I watched her. All that ran through my head as I admired her was how I wouldn't trade her for anything. Her laughter sent jolts of electricity down my spines and all over my b

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
