"What was that in there?" I was being pulled by Julian as he led me out of the buildingTrust me, I was struggling to get out of his grip but he wasn't budging. He didn't know what he just did. He just keeps ruining my plans and adding more hurdles for me. "Get in" He commanded, holding the passengers door for me. "Why would I do that?" I eyed him, irritated at whatever was going on"Grisella..." He growled. "Don't let me rough handle you" Groaning, I jumped into the vehicle. I mean, I also needed to get out of here and clear my head after seeing Jenna, Raniero's cousin and my one time close friend.She sure as hell made me feel so guilty on our first meet and first conversation. I didn't even know what to say to her but she sure as hell had a lot to say to me if not that she was called to for an emergency meeting or whatever.I know I'd be dead when next we meet. Also, I know it won't last for long. However, I didn't like this because she'd only make my mission impossible. "What
"Hmmm!""You know you can just yell. Your grunts are beginning to get on my nerves" I snapped at Julian who glared at me in return."You still didn't run, Grisella." Julian said, still grunting at my every slight touch. "You know you can be so annoying. Imagine I had really left you there, you'd be dead by now!" I placed the bandage on his stomach where he got shot. "Unfortunately, I don't die" He said proudly. I wanted to squeeze his mouth. "Fucking right. Maybe I would've just left you there" I hissed, picking up all the bloody cotton wool and tossing it into a nearby bin."But you didn't. You came back even when I told you to leave" He threw his head backwards, looking at the ceiling."I should get going before your -""Julian!" Delilah bolted in, pushing me aside. "What did she do to you?""Mother" He said coldly. Why the sudden attitude?"Ever since this girl came back, you've been getting shot. You never get shot. I mean, you do but it's usually just grazing." Delilah complai
"You better be calling us all here because you have a good news" Vincenzo, Julian's father said, taking his seat.I bet he hasn't seen me yet.Immediately he sat, his wife followed suit and then Hannah and her family. Everybody's eyes except Julian's eyes widened once they saw me. Well, I made sure I was sitting pretty."Too beautiful to handle. Close up, Hannah before you house a fly" I pointed at her mouth.Ah, Grisella. Watch this mouth of yours."You can't blame them hunnie. I guess they're just mesmerized by your beauty" Julian complimented. I bit my lips, stopping myself from laughing out loud.What was that line? I made a mental note to tell him to improve on his pick-up line. That was not beautiful to hear at all."What's this nonsense?" Rachel, of course, was the first to talk. Mr Devani was busy looking at me with a look of admiration. He wasn't doing a good job hiding it Sorry, I don't do old men."Yeah, Julian. Why do you have this... this orphan in a family dinner?" De
"How could you do this to me!" Hannah yelled, tugging at Julian's shirt.The guards moved forward waiting for some sort of order from Julian but he never gave any as he stood there, letting her tug on his brown neatly ironed shirt. "I am your betrothed. You cannot do this to me." Hannah began to cry. "Mother!""I'll talk to him, Hannah. Like you said, he's playing a prank on us" Vincenzo finally spoke up, holding Hannah up properly. I excused myself because the drama was already too much for me. I mean, I just wanted to see them cry and now that I saw them cry, it wasn't even that interesting. Rachel, however, didn't cry but I could see the agony and pain she had on her face. She was indeed a tough woman. I bet she was doing what I usually did.Don't give your enemies the satisfaction that they broke you. I guess that's what she was doing in there."Hey, trouble!" Russo called out to me before I even got to me."You sound so happy to see me, Dumbo" I smirked at him. "You're wearin
"And where do you think you're going?" Julian wasn't looking at me but somehow, he still managed to ask the question in time.I held the door knob, relaxing my feet on the ground. I was walking on the tip of my toe thinking he wouldn't notice."Everyone is gone now so I was thinking I could go back to my room at the other part" I said, my hand turning the door knob."I knew you would do this" Julian scoffed, his gaze still fixated on his phone. My problem currently was why the door wasn't opening. I freaking turned the door knob in an attempt to unlock the door but it didn't unlock. "I think the door is broken" I announced, panic setting into my heart. Why would it break now?"Oh shit!" Julian lazily stood up, scratching his neck."Julian." I gave him a suspicious glare, dropping my heels on the floor carelessly. He looked suspicious. "Where's the key?""What are you accusing me of, Grisella? You think I'd want to keep you in here by false imprisonment?" He raised his eyebrow at me
Being a Mafia Fianceé or whatever sucked. You can't even mingle with other staffs because they were all scared that their BOSS could probably blow off their head.I mean, he doesn't even look that scary to me. Or is it just me?I was restricted from visiting the other mansion but Josie was allowed to visit me here whenever she wanted. "Julian." I called out for the umpteenth time."Give me a minute, Vixen" He raised his index finger at me.I've been doing that for close to 30 minutes now. I needed to call his bluff."When do you travel?" I asked because that was my only chance to do a proper search on evidence to the fact that they killed my family for an unjust cause and also evidence to bring them down to the mud. "Pursuing me?" He scoffed, still tapping away on his phone. "Or wait." He raised his head up, giving me his attention. "Do you want to go with me?""No!" I said immediately, taking him aback. "I mean, I'm tired of sharing the same damn space with you and this is the onl
Julian's POV It was 20 minutes!20 minutes since Grisella went to the restroom "Lock down this eatery. Nobody goes out" I ordered, standing up. I nodded at my men to take their various positions.A familiar figure suddenly came out from the door leading to the restroom. How did I not notice when he went in?"Always announcing your presence wherever you go" Kingston scoffed, tucking his hand into his pocket as he looked over his shoulder. I followed his eye movement but couldn't see anyone at his back."Where are you coming from?" I asked calmly, striding towards Kingston who seemed calm as well."I needed to have a conversation with someone." He said casually, looking me in the eye."This is one of those times where I don't fuck with anyone. If I ask, you answer" I moved closer, leaving no space between us."You can't do anything to me in here." Before I could ask him why he thought so, he spoke up. "Because there are kids in here"I used my side eye to check out the kids he alleged
"With all these attitudes you've been putting up lately, I feel skeptical about leaving you alone to yourself" Julian said, glaring at me. Say what?"Noooo! I promise, I'll be good" I smiled, shinning my small teeth at him, widely.Too much, Grisella. Too much"See? That's not good" He shook his head, his hand flying to his button already No, he can't do that.Quickly, I held his hand in an attempt to stop him. "Don't you trust your fi-fianceé?" I forced out the words from my mouth. It felt too heavy to speak out.He scoffed saying "No!" He slapped my hands away, making it fall to my side.I held his hands again. "I promise not to go out without your permission, Julian. Believe me" I pouted. "Grisella, the fact that you want me to believe you this much, makes it more suspicious." He eyed me up and down."I can do anything you want me to do IF it'll convince you to believe me" I regretted that statement the minute I said it but the damage had been done already.As if to rub the regr
Cackling, I slapped my legs. "Very funny, Doctor Ace. You almost got me" I pointed at him.His face didn't brighten instead his lips turned downward as he stared into my eyes."Grisella, you will lose any memory you have of your parents in less than 2 years if you can't still remember before then. I'm not exactly certain about the time." He pressed his lips into a thin line.My hand clenched and unclenched as my nose flared up in anger. I stood up aggressively, dropping my hand on the desk harshly making a loud "Bam!" Sound. "Grisella, you have ...."Charging forward, I clutched his lab coat, pulling him to my face. "What ... What did you just say to me?" My lips quivered as I asked. "You don't mean it right?" He swallowed hard as he looked down rather than into my eyes. "Fucking answer me, Doctor Ace!!!!" I screamed in his face, shaking him.My heart had begun to squeeze in my chest. My chest heaved up and down as I struggled to push the tears that were threatening to spill, back
Grisella's POV"Shhhh. Don't scream"I bit my tongue as I threw my head backward. "I...""You can do it" Without warning, his cold tongue collided with my throbbing pussy. I sucked in a huge amount of breath as my hands curled around the pillow beneath my head. "So good" I moaned out shamelesslyThe vibration from his throat sent waves from my pussy throughout my body, causing me to shudder. My breath hitched when his tongue flickered my clit, making me pant as my hand found his hair."You taste so sweet" He murmured, shoving the tip of his tongue in and out of my pussy hole, softly. I began to grind my hips on his tongue as I gripped a handful of his hair. "Oh goodness! I'm close" "I'm tempted to drive my cock into your wet cunt. See how you'd take my long cock, no?" He spoke shoving his finger into my throbbing pussy.My walls clenched around his finger, making him groan. "Hmm! So tight and soft in there. Fuck, my balls are definitely blue" I moaned out incoherent words as I arc
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
