Don Raniero's Downfall 50
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 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 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

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

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

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

"Freeze! Don't move or I'd fucking shoot you."Slowly, I raised my hands up in surrender. I bit my quivering lips when I felt the tip of the gun at the back of my head. "It's not what -"Boom!I was knocked out, falling like a dead log of wood on the ground.I've been finally caught. Shit!°•°"The chase is over now because I finally got you, Grisella" A firm voice whispered in my ear. Hearing a voice after a long while of being dumped on this cold ground, made me sit up properly.I almost thought they forgot that they imprisoned someone here. "Who are you?" I asked, turning around. Ah, fuck this blindfold. I would've ripped it off immediately I heard the voice, if my hands weren't tied to my back "Still stubborn, no?" His dark chuckle echoed around the room, making shivers run down my spine. It sounded sinister yet intoxicating."How about you be a man and untie me so I can show you what I'm made of?" I challenged, shaking my hands in an attempt to loosen the rope wrapped around i

"Julian Raniero" I called out softly, finally remembering the face. My eyes shifted between his face and the way he held the gun with a determined glare. My mind raced as I thought deeply if he was really going to shoot me."Are you going to shoot her or what?" Russo hissed from behind Julian. Julian tilted his head as he aimed at my forehead. "You know what, I've changed my mind" Julian frowned, tucking his gun in his back pocket after taking it back to safety.You wouldn't have taken it back to safety. It would've roasted your ass. I thought to myself."What's fucking funny?" Russo spat at me.I swallowed hard, wondering if I laughed out loud. Grisella, can't you learn to smile at your thoughts inwardly? I scolded myself. "Do you have a personal problem with me, Russo?" I spat back at him, matching his glare. He just knew how to rile me up."Enough, you two!" Julian yelled, his voice hoarse. "Especially you, Grisella!" I wanted to say something to him but then my eyes fell to Cy

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.

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
