Helping Mr. Gang Leader home is Dante
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 56: home is Dante .Gianna froze. Mariposa?“Including one little jerk with a very bad attitude who keeps accusing me of deliberately withholding information about you from them.”Rio. That had to be Rio. Gianna would have bet all the money in the world on that.Maria swayed a little back and forth, indicating how her feet were hurting her in her shoes, as she explained, “Those guys who came with Giovanni, following you over here, they’ve been taking turns staying. Some of them come, some of them go, but there’s always a group of them. And the group? It’s grown over the days. It’s the same couple of guys who ask about you, who ask about visiting hours, and who can be in the room with you, and your condition. But overall? There is a growing number of people lurking around, looking suspiciously tense, particularly perusing the floor that your room here is on. Kind of like they’re looking for trouble. So, my question is to you, Gianna, is about them.
Helping Mr. Gang Leader what IS the look of love?
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 57: what IS the look of love? .Gianna just wanted to go home. She wanted to go back to her apartment, back to the clinic, and back to her normal routine. Or as close as she could get with tapped ribs and an inability to bend down.“Soon,” She told Ezekiel. Then she frowned and said, “You both realize nothing is going to happen to me here, right? You don’t have to stand guard. And you can tell the twenty guys you’ve got eating up space in the waiting room the same thing.”Jovani, who almost always had a smile on his face to match his bubbly personality, said seriously, “Someone tried to kill you.”Ezekiel said sharply to Jovani, “Don’t say stuff like that!”“It’s true,” Jovani argued back. “Someone tried. But they’re not going to get a second chance at it.” Jovani told Gianna, “We’re here to keep you company. We’re here to make you less sad to be in the hospital. But we’re also here to make sure no one gets any ideas. Mariposa is looking out for y
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Had more time been stolen from her life?
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 58: Had more time been stolen from her life?.Gianna wasn’t sure if Jovani was an absolute fool or the most wonderful person ever. Maybe it was best of the jury was still out on that.She slept for quite a while afterwards, which was, unfortunately, still how she spent most of her days. It had been just after lunch when Ezekiel and Jovani kept her company, but by the time she woke back up the sun was a ball of pink and orange in the horizon, low enough to indicate it would be gone completely very shortly.And instead of Ezekiel and Jovani, as promised, Gianna was looking at her brother. Rather, she was looking at her brother looking at her.With a scratchy voice, Gianna said, “I told you not to read that mindless American drivel that calls itself a book. Watching someone sleep is not romantic. Next you’ll think you sparkle in the sun or something like that.”Giovanni gave an uneasy laugh. “I didn’t actually read Twilight, okay? And I only saw like h
Helping Mr. Gang Leader less than loyal source
Helping Mr Gang Leader .Chapter 59: less than loyal source.Gianna said, “I must have reminded him of her.”Their mother.Giovanni’s fingers tightened from where they were gripping Gianna’s blanket. “That’s no excuse.”“Maybe. Maybe not.”The steady beats of Gianna’s heart weren’t nearly reassuring as Giovanni’s presence next to her.“I have to tell you something,” Gianna said finally, unable to hold back anymore. “But you’ll be upset with me.”“Unlikely,” Giovanni scoffed out.Gianna nodded seriously. “I used to see you, even up until a few days ago, as my innocent kid brother. I knew, realistically, you weren’t. How could you be at eighteen? But to me, you were this cheery, sometimes obnoxious, but good willed kid that I raised to be a pretty good example for others to look towards.”Giovanni laughed, “Not to be prideful or anything.”“I am proud,” Gianna insisted. “I’m proud of who you are, who you’ve become, and the things you’re going to do with your life. But in that store …
Helping Mr. Gang Leader is this equivalent to a crush?
.Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 60: is this equivalent to a crush? .Gianna waited until Sal was out the door to ask, “Did you think I would be okay with my brother going off to torture and do worse to someone in my name?”.“To someone,” Giovanni corrected angrily, “who tried to kill you. Who nearly did!”.Gianna shook her head and shuffled her way towards the room’s bathroom, dragging her IV pole with her. “You can do what you want, Giovanni. I’ve told you repeatedly that you’re an adult and you make your own choices. But don’t you dare try to justify what you’re about to do to this person, as something you’re doing for me. If you do this, don’t you attach me in any way. I don’t want you to do this. I don’t condone it.”Giovanni asked, “So you just want me to leave this person alone? You want me to let them off the hook, give them a free pass, and let them probably try to hurt you again?”. Gianna nudged the bathroom door open with her food and called back, “You do whatever you
Helping Mr. Gang Leader are you bitter ... or jealous?
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 61: are you bitter ... or jealous? .“So,” Gianna tried, “you rile me up, poke fun at me, and are a jerk at times because you like that I snap back at you? How does that make any sense?”.Rio didn’t answer, instead he hid a smile of some sort behind a hand.Eventually, Rio confessed in a strangled way, “It wasn’t a big deal for me to be there with you at the flower shop. I didn’t have anything else to do that day, and the truth is, you are one of us. You’re one of Mariposa, even if it isn’t official or anything. You take care of us, you patch us up, you cook for us and hang out with us and you’re our friend. So, me watching after you wasn’t even something that Cypher needed to ask me to do. I just put up a fuss because you were paying more attention to the flowers than me.”Gianna gave him an incredulous look. “Please tell me you’re not saying you were jealous of the flowers I was buying for the graves of my mother and sister.”Rio looked horrified.
Helping Mr. Gang Leader weakness of affection
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 62: weakness of affection.Gianna felt the frown on her face deepening. “He didn’t drag me into this kicking and screaming.”“No,” Rio agreed. “But the blame here really goes wholly to Cypher. Because Giovanni wouldn’t have ever brought you near Mariposa’s territory. He wouldn’t have introduced you to us, or let you learn our names. He wouldn’t have taken the risks that Cypher did with you. Cypher put a target on your back. He’s the reason someone tried to kill you. And that’s why you can’t feel guilty about whatever he’s going to do. He’s just cleaning up his mistake, almost at the expense of your life.”Carelessly, Gianna called over to him, “I don’t understand why you’re so callous all of the sudden. You sound … bitter.”Rio reached or the nearby remote and flicked the TV on, immediately hitting the mute button. “I’m not bitter.”“Then what?”With an exaggerated sigh, Rio said, “I just know that if I were Cypher, if it were you and me, I wouldn’t

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 63: Ferrari Dante is in love .*GIANNA* “But please, I’m begging you. Don’t let Giovanni be the one to end his life when the time comes. Don’t let it be my brother. Please.”Dante’s hands were big and warm at Gianna’s waist, the heat from his fingers cutting through the pajamas she wore.Dante told her, “Giovanni already asked to be the one to do it. He’s taking this more seriously than you think. He realizes now how close he came to losing you, and how it could happen again if we don’t do this now.”“Please,” Gianna begged. “Please, don’t let him. He thinks he wants it, maybe he does, but I don’t know if his soul is ready.”Dante hugged her tighter, probably as tightly as she dared. “Okay. I’ll have Sal take care of it, or I’ll do it myself. After we have all the information we need.”Uncertain, Gianna pulled back to ask, “A confession?”Dante guided her back to the bed and corrected, “I’d rather know why. Mariposa is a family. We don’t let people

Helping Mr. Gang Leader Start Living
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Epilogue: Time to start living .If six months ago, when Gianna had been worried that her father would pull funding for the clinic, and that they’d have to close their doors to an ailing public who needed them, anyone had told Gianna that not only would her clinic be surviving, but also thriving and expanding, she would have laughed and then likely wept.But with the summer heat beating down outside, Angelo sending post cards regularly, Harry a fulltime practitioner at the clinic, and full community support, the clinic was now officially relocated to a building that was three times its original size.It was a surreal moment for Gianna, walking through the front doors of the new clinic that was set to open in less than two days, looking around at what her hard work and dedication had finally landed her.Infinite being flushed out of the area, regardless of how it had happened and the part Gianna felt she played in it, was the best thing that could have happe
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Crying
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 109: crying for the rest of my life .Maddox was in the apartment.Maddox was in a personal, private space that was supposed to be safe. And if he’d gotten past the men standing guard outside …Wiggling her toes a little against the water, Gianna asked quietly, “What are you doing here?.”She didn’t want to wake Dante. She couldn’t. If Dante came out here to where Maddox was with a gun, it would only put him in danger. Gianna couldn’t risk that. She wouldn’t.“It’s all gone,” Maddox eased out, moving forward fully into the light, gun raised to Gianna’s chest level. “It’s gone and it’s your fault.”“My fault?” Gianna questioned. She shook her head a little. “No. I …”“Clyde,” Maddox said morosely, more like a sad wail than anything else. “Clyde. He’s gone.”Gianna took that as confirmation that Clyde was likely dead.“I didn’t kill him,” Gianna said evenly.Maddox looked … worrisome. From where Gianna was standing she could see that Maddox’s eyes wer
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Maddox
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 108: Maddox .“Gia!”Gianna was jarred away from her conversation with Rio as Giovanni nearly barreled into her side, exclaiming, “This party is awesome!”“You just like it because of the food,” Gianna accused, but she gave Giovanni a playful nudge to the shoulder. “Go ahead and eat as much as you want. I hear that the person who’s supposed to be looking after your eating habits hasn’t been doing a good job.”Giovanni made a surprised squeak, damaged eyebrows going high. Rio scoffed.With the speeches over the floor was quickly becoming a small dancing area, music playing softly. It was a sure sign that the night was starting to conclude.Giovanni dashed back to the food table and Gianna turned to Rio, asking, “Do you want to dance?” She would have loved if Dante had been able to come. Truthfully, Gianna was a bit desperate to finally be able to show off the person who held her heart. But Dante had been extra busy with Axel lately, and she was tryi
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Unrequited Love
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 107: Unrequited love: The most painful kind of love to be trapped in .There was something to be said for persevering through adversity.Because for the first time in a very long time, Gianna managed to have an amazing Christmas.Christmas time for Gianna was typically not a huge event. She knew a fairly large number of people who celebrated the holiday, both religiously and in the secular sense, but with Gianna’s reduced family size, there weren’t a lot of people to celebrate with. She might go to a party or two, and see Giovanni for a few hours, but that was it. Most years she bought Christmas presents for the people she knew—almost in a compulsive way, and received a few only from the people she tended to be closest with.When she’d been a child, it had been the house keepers and nannies buying both herself and Giovanni presents with a prescribed budget from their father. Gianna couldn’t remember the last time her father had handed her a pres
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Mariposa takes care of family
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 106: Mariposa takes care of family .For the first time in a while, Gianna saw some kind of amusement in her father’s eyes. The kind of emotion that Gianna thought had been carefully cut out over the years.“I’ve lied a lot over the past week and a half,” Her father said, looking Gianna in the eyes. “I lied about where my information about Infinite came from. I lied about Mariposa’s association with what happened. I lied about Mariposa’s identities. I lied about you being there at all, other than coincidentally, and I falsified information to make certain people disappear from the records. Not only that, I’ve … provided certain incentives to other individuals to make sure no important names ever come up or can be tied to this.”“Oh, dad,” Gianna sighed out, tears in her eyes.“Considering I deployed the national guard,” his father continued, “to offer back up to one gang over another in a conflict that spilled out onto the streets and ended up inju
Helping Mr. Gang Leader A medical mystery
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 105: a medical mystery .Gianna screamed. She screamed her throat raw until it was painful to even breathe, and then she kept screaming, eyes locked on Rio’s body.“Shut the fuck up!” Clyde demanded, stalking towards her, the gun still raised.No. Not Rio. There was no way Rio was dead. He couldn’t be.“I said shut the fuck up!”Gianna couldn’t. She couldn’t stop screaming. She wasn’t in control of her body anymore.Clyde fired off a second shot, inches from Gianna. The bullet imbedded into the ground and Gianna fell quiet maybe out of an inability to do anything else, more than the fear.“Christ! Finally.” Clyde let out a long breath.Gianna gasped out a sob, and then she was crying openly, reaching out trembling fingers for Rio.Blood was seeping out around Rio’s body at a slow crawl, but from the way he’d fallen Gianna couldn’t tell where the bullet had gone in. She couldn’t even properly address the injury. She couldn’t do anything but collapse
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Infinite bastards
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 104: infinite bastards .The moment she injected the morphine into herself, feeling the buzz of the drug kick in, chasing away the pain, she sighed in relief. It made her a little loopy, relaxing back against the bed in a useless kind of way, but she was so thankful to be free of the pain she’d felt constantly for a day, that it was worth it.And it was hard, so terribly hard, with how exhausted she was, and lonely and scared, but after that Gianna forced herself to sit up and keep going.In the other syringe she loaded a likely lethal dose of sedative. It was hard to tell though, even for a doctor, as Infinite employed various sized people. The dose she’d filled would kill someone like Donald, put someone like Clyde into a coma, and likely only knock out someone Hagrid’s size.She wasn’t looking to kill anyone, but if they sent Hagrid after her, Gianna couldn’t take the chance that a smaller dose would barely have any effect. Hagrid was strong, in
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Karma?
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 103: Karma? .When they locked her back in her room that night after the phone call, instead of taking her downstairs, it was absolutely clear to Gianna that they planned to use her as bait. They were going to dangle her out in front of Mariposa in the coming days and reduce her to mere fodder.Gianna, who cared more about Giovanni and Dante, and the rest of Mariposa, than anyone else in the world, was not willing to let that stand.She wasn’t just going to roll over and let things happen. Infinite had the advantage now, but Gianna was creative. She was creative, and above all else, she was desperate.So that night, using a pair of grooming sheers she found in the bathroom, she tore up the sheets on her bed. They were thick and of an extremely high quality, the kind of thread count that Gianna had grown up sleeping on. The best money could buy. But most importantly, it meant the material didn’t have much give. And she could wrap her ribs tightly an
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Gia is Mariposa now
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 102: Gia is Mariposa now . “For Gia, right?” Giovanni asked, staring hard at Dante. “We’re going in for Gia, right?”And not for Maddox. The second half of the question was left off, but implied all the same.Rio said hotly, “If I come across that bastard, I’m going to take a shot.”“You’re not alone,” Ezekiel interjected.“Of course,” Dante said, voice going rough. “If any of us has the chance to end this by cutting the head off the snake, take the shot. But this is about getting Gia out. Leave Axel and his men to gun for Maddox. If we get Gia out, then we can hit Maddox later, on our own terms, and without him dangling someone we love over our heads.”Jovani leaned back, unease on his face, and said, “There’s one thing I’m really worried about.” He looked to Sal. “The cops.”“They could be a problem,” Sal agreed.“They will be a problem,” Jovani corrected. “They’re not just in Infinite’s pocket. They’re owned by Infinite. There isn’t a cop on th
