Chapter Twenty-two:

Gabriele's POV

As I stepped into my office, it looked strange. I couldn't put a finger on it but I could feel something wasn't right.

Then my eyes fell on the light bulb and I turned my narrowed eyes to Basilio.

"How many times do I need to tell you to switch off the lights when you come into my office?"

Basilio opened his mouth to speak but then stopped and a frown morphed on his face.

"You switched it off before you left?" He asked me.

I rolled my eyes and walked to my chair. "If I did, would I be asking you about it?" I scoffed.

As I sat down, I noticed one of the drawers with my guns was slightly open.

Then the feeling I felt when I stepped in returned. Someone has been here and it wasn't Basilio.

Basilio wouldn't touch my guns.

"Someone was here!" I said as I went through the content of the drawers to see what they must have taken.

    Chapter Twenty-three:Arianna's POv I swallowed the fear that had started crawling on my skin. I shouldn't have played with a man like Gabriele."You are just trying to scare me..." I breathed hoping he would stop coming at me.But his smirk only grew wider as he kept coming at me with slow painfully scary steps.I had never planned to be taken in this manner by a man. Especially not a man who happened to have kidnapped me."This looks like Halloween to you?" He asked me as he got close enough to touch my hair.I had hit the wall and there was nowhere to run. I stared at the ground, refusing to stare into his eyes. This was surely a nightmare. If I ignored him it would go away."Answer!" He hit the wall by my right and I shuddered.I took a deep breath and stared into his eyes. Suddenly, I felt calm. This was a joke."What happens if I don't?" I asked, corking my head to the side.His eyes darkened at my question and I knew I had made a mistake.Before I could make up for my mistake,

There was nothing I could do that would give me my life back. “Arianna, if you want to survive here, you need to learn to stay off his radar.

What are you even saying?” she asked in shock.I passed a hand over my face and tried to calm my racing brain. “I don’t belong here. I need to get out of here Sofia.

If she had permitted me to sleep with her already, she wouldn’t have been able to escape tonight.The thought of missing the opportunity to touch her made my hands itch. She was mine, yet being with her was so difficult.“You will sleep in my room tonight,” I blurted out.Yes, I wouldn’t be able to fuck her brains out, but I could at least share some of her body heat.Her face turned pale and I expected her to say something sharp and rude as usual. But surprisingly she smiled and said something unexpected that sent my cock twitching with hope.“If that’s what you want, then consider it done,” she said and picked up her fork to begin eating.Just as she was about to place the morsel of chicken in her mouth, she paused and raised her alluring eyes to mine.“But I am not sleeping with you,” she said in a low polite voice th

She told me about her childhood and how she had defended herself against Bullies.I found myself smiling at her stories and wanting to hear even more. It was late in the night before we decided to call it a night and retired to bed.I had never had such a peaceful sleep in a long time. But all of that peace washed away as a sharp disturbing scream woke me up the next morning.“Gabriele, did you hear that?” Arianna whispered beside me.“Stay here,” I ordered as I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.My guards were already repositioning themselves toward the sound and my heart went to my throat as adrenaline pumped faster into my veins.“What’s happening?” I asked them as I got closer. “Where did that noise come from?”Basilio appeared between them and handed me a gun. “It’s from the women’s quarters.

This time, the noise was getting closer. It seemed whoever was screaming their lungs out was coming to me.What could be happening?Was the house under attack?I stopped pacing as a light bulb lit up in my head. If Gabriele’s household was under attack, it could serve as a perfect distraction for me to run away.“Yes!” I let out as my adrenaline started building.All I had to do was check the surroundings and decide how dangerou

Yet she stared at me with an emotion I couldn’t read. “Haven’t you done enough?” she whispered with spite lacing her voice. I turned to Sofia and she shrugged as well. We were both in the same state. “Eleana, I don’t understand. Did I do something?” I asked. “You did everything! Everything!” she cried out pulling her hair. “Argh!” she hit the bedside lamp and it shattered on the ground. I jumped backward trying to escape the shards. “Eleana!” Sofia shrieked as a sharp piece of the lamp missed her by mere inches. Her eyes turned red and they flashed the flames of the anger she could no longer contain. “Sara was right! We were fine on our own! Gabriele gave us everything we wanted but when you came…” she flashed me her teeth and I felt a piece of my soul retreat in fear. “You came and changed everything! Now Sara has gone and killed herself!”

Demyan was clothed in his usual white long dress shirt as I remembered him wearing ever since I was a child and he visited more often.“Remember, engage him for as long as possible. I need to read every device on him,” Basilio whispered as we made our way to the man I had sworn to kill on sight whenever we crossed paths.“I know,” I gritted through clenched teeth.Basilio had gotten our tech guys to develop a sort of card reader that could read every device on a person’s body as long as they were near them and they stayed there for a long period.He got up from the seat as soon as he saw me and started coming towards me with stretched hands. “Gabriele, my nephew!” he said with

He had Arianna somewhere else!"Did the message say where she is?" Agostino asked me. Usually, he would be the calmer one, but right now, he was as riled up as I was."No, it didn't.

I pulled her neck to the right angle and claimed her lips before she could say another thing.She moaned against my mouth as I pulled my belt off my waist and released my cock between her thighs.I pulled her closer so that she now lay flat on the seat and I went on top of her.

It wasn't necessary.It was just a simple outing and he didn't have to act like some jealous boyfriend. I loved him and no one else.
