Gianna's POV; We got back home and I didn't even bother to greet Hugo at all because of the anger and sadness burning through my veins. I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I was very glad that Adriano didn't speak to me again after our little misunderstanding. I watched as Adriano pulled the car over. I got out of the car without waiting for him. I headed straight upstairs, without looking back. I needed to be alone. "Welcome back home, ma'am." Fiona greeted me. "Welcome back home, Aunty." Ivor greeted me too. "Hey, Gigi what's up?" Alanna stood up from the couch. I didn't answer them. I continued walking upstairs to my room. As I was about to open the bedroom door, I heard Alanna asking Adriano. "Adriano, Is everything okay?" "Yes, everything is fine. Don't worry about anything." He replied. "But she was moody. Le hai fatto qualcosa di orribile?" She said in Italian. (Did you do something horrible to her?) I angrily barged into the room and went into the closet to h
Gianna's POV; "ANTONIO!" Adriano barged into the kitchen in fury. "Rilassati fratello, non le stavo facendo niente." (Relax brother, I wasn't doing anything to her) "You bastard!" Adriano punched him hard on his face and he fell down on the floor. Adriano grabbed him by his collar and continued hitting him on his face and then he started speaking Italian. "Ti ho avvertito di tenere le tue sporche mani lontane dal corpo di mia moglie. Ti ho detto che odio ogni volta che la saluti. Odio la tua intera esistenza. Non saresti mai dovuto nascere perché non sei altro che una vergogna per tua madre." (I have warned you to keep your filthy hands off my wife's body. I told you that I hate it whenever you even say hi to her. I hate your entire existence. You never should have been born because you are nothing but a disgrace to your mother) "Adriano! Adriano!!" Ivor ran to Adriano and tried to pull him off Antonio but he didn't budge. "Adriano, lascialo andare. Lo ucciderai." Ivor took a ho
- The Next Day - Gianna's POV; I took a quick shower before drying my body with a towel and putting on my dress. Then, I combed my long hair and let it fall on my back before applying a little makeup on my face. My hair looked dusty despite the amount of oil I put in it. As I entered the bedroom and saw Adriano still sleeping and Kaya was wailing beside him. "Hey," I whispered, then picked her up from the bed. She snuggled into my chest and I smiled and walked over to the rocking chair Adriano bought for me. I sat down and look at Kaya's squishy face. I gently brushed her hair and she yawned. "Are you hungry?" I mumbled while rocking her and she stared at me. I pulled my shirt up and brushed my nipple against her lip and she began to suck. I looked over to Adriano who was still sleeping and snoring. His snores sounded like a lion growling. He must be tired from all yesterday's stress. I took her to the bathroom and bathed her. I slowly got to learn how to bathe a baby after givin
Gianna's POV; "Nonno?" Alanna gasped in surprise looking between her grandfather and her aunt. (Grandpa?) "Adriano, my big baby." Aunt Virginia launched at Adriano. She hugged him tight and he hugged her too. "Welcome, Aunt Virginia," I said nervously and hugged her after she hugged Adriano. She kissed Kaya on her cheeks and forehead before looking up at me, giving me a proud smile. I wasn't surprised at the arrival because Eddie had already broken the news to Adriano but I was curious to know how fast they made it to Italy. "Why are all of you just standing there as if you have seen a ghost?" Eddie asked in a dainty voice, eyeing all of us. I gulped restively. "Sorry, Grandpa," Ivor muttered, going close to Eddie before hugging him. I dragged Adriano with me to hug Eddie despite being hesitant about it. "Where is Antonio?" Gary asked and the air became tense. I felt Adriano's breath hitch and his jaw clenched the same as Alanna. His hold on my hand started to become tighter and
Adriano's POV; Krrr……krrr……krrr…… krrr We all turned around and looked upstairs as we heard shoes screeching on the floor. Antonio stood on the last step of the staircase with his hands tucked in his pocket, smiling at all of us. Only God knows how much I hate this guy. I just want to rip his heart off his chest. "Is he coming with us?" Alanna asked, ceasing her brows, and looking at Grandpa in confusion. "Yes, he is my grandson. He is my family. I want all of you to let bygones be bygones for just tonight please." He literally begged. Why does Grandpa want Antonio near us so badly? Didn't he say that Antonio is only in Italy for a project? Or is there another reason beside his stay in Italy? - FLASHBACK - "Cos'è successo Adriano? Perché Alanna e Ivor sono stati così scortesi con me?" Uncle Gary asked dumbfounded, pointing in the direction Ivor dragged Alanna to. (What happened, Adriano? Why was Alanna and Ivor rude to me like that?) I
Gianna's POV; "Pull over," I whispered. I pouted because I thought that he was going to pull over but he didn't pull over. He continued driving back home. I wonder how he does it, he can control his sexual urges whenever he's around me but I can't control mine even when I just look at him. I caught him looking at me but I pretended to be angry with the fact that he just rejected me. I placed my head on the glass and I looked outside the window. Tonight was supposed to have gone smoothly because it was Eddie's birthday but it didn't and that is all Antonio's fault. Why did he kiss my cheeks when he knows that Adriano hate him? Well, technically I also hate him too but not as much as Adriano does. I still couldn't wrap my head around why Eddie asked Antonio to come to Adriano's house after everything Antonio did to Adriano. I heard the tires screech and before I knew it, Adriano pulled me out of the car and dragged me upstairs. I almost tripped because I couldn't match up to his pac
Adriano's POV; I kept on cursing myself for losing my shit out on Gianna. I wasn't supposed to act like that. I'm sure she hates me right now. 'No. No. No. No. No. Let go of me right now Adriano. Adriano! Adriano!! Adriano!!! St–stop, stop it. Let me go.' I could still hear her scream. I was angry at myself and I was also angry at her for leading me on when she knew that she wasn't going to let me have my way with her. And when I tried to be the boss that I am, she started crying and my heart breaks into pieces whenever I see her crying. I should go to the club to relieve everything right now. No! I can't go to the club right now. I don't want to go and get drunk and ruin things again. The last time I went to the club, I couldn't recall anything. I sat down in the kitchen for about an hour. I heard Kaya crying from her room. I ran upstairs to her and I saw Gwen trying her best to calm her down but she kept crying. So I took her from Gwen, then I asked her to go to her room. And th
Gianna's POV; My legs were too weak to stand on their own. I was very weak to stand up, so I crawled to the door to hear what Adriano is going to do to Antonio because, with the way he dragged Antonio downstairs, I'm sure he is going to beat him up. "Adriano, smettila!" I heard Eddie stamp his walking stick on the floor in anger. (Adriano stop it) Adriano snorted before retorting. "No, you stop it, Grandpa. You brought a guy I hate so much into my home just so he can have his wife with my wife. All you do in your entire life is control people, not caring about how your decision is going to affect them. Enough is enough, I want him out of my house this minute and if you don't like my decision then you can as well join him because I don't see any reason why you guys are here in the first place." He spat. What? "Che cosa?" Gary said in Italian and his voice held confusion and surprise. (What?) There was a brief silence before Adriano spoke up again. "You heard me. Go upstairs, pack y
Gianna's POV; I went upstairs and knocked on his door and he came out in nothing but shorts. "Hey, sister-in-law." He winked at me and I went straight to my point. Then he asked me what she did, then I told him and he became furious. After two days, Antonio and Adriano got us to court. At first, Cecilia refused to go to the court but Adriano insisted before she agreed. "Your honor, my client can never do such a thing to someone." Her ugly lawyer spoke. Antonio chuckled beside me. I tried my best to control my anger. "Your honor, this girl called Cecilia did not only kill my client's unborn baby but she also drugged and seduced my client's husband into getting her pregnant so that she could manipulate my client's husband the way she liked." Antonio objected. One thing that I loved about the court trials was that all of the conversations and interactions were in English and not in Italian. I jumped from my thoughts as Cecilia's lawyer hit the table in aggression. "Objection, your ho
Gianna's POV; He grabbed my hand and held it. "Please let me explain," he begged but I glared at him. "GET OUT!" I screamed and then he left the room and went downstairs. "Noooooo!" I screamed my lungs out. I cried my eyes out. I fell on the floor and hugged my knees tight. I heard a soft knock on the door and I looked up and I saw Alanna standing by the door. She rushed to me the moment she saw me on the floor. She pulled me into a tight hug and wiped my tears. "Gianna! You need to calm down for the baby's sake, please. I know that this is too hard to digest but I need you to please calm down." "How can I calm down? My home is about to be torn into shreds. The marriage I worked hard for is about to be taken away from me. What did I ever do wrong?" I sobbed against her chest and she rubbed my back. "You did nothing wrong. Listen to me, Adriano can never cheat on you. My brother is not like that." She muttered indistinctly and I pulled away from her. I looked at her and she looked
Adriano's POV; Gianna gasped in shock, "Cecilia?" "Who is she?" Ivor asked with his mouth open. I looked at her in confusion. "What are you doing in my house?" I asked because she had gone silent since I fired her and now all of a sudden she walked into my house for the first time. But I didn't care about that because something else caught my attention. Her belly was bulging in her body crop dress, was she pregnant? She cleared her throat and took a step forward. "I came to see you because I have something to discuss with you but since you are here with your family, I will tell you in front of them." She said and I wanted to ask her to leave but the next thing she said got me crying from the inside. "I'm pregnant. It's yours." She said, What the freaking fuck? This could ruin everything I had with Gianna and my entire years of hard work would surely go in vain if what she just said is true. Gianna's eyes traveled to me and then back to Cecilia's belly before saying, "What?" S
Gianna's POV; - The Next Day - I glanced to the other side of the bed and I didn't see Adriano and Kaya. I looked at the clock and it was twenty minutes after ten. I woke up pretty late this morning. I got off the bed, went to the bathroom and did my business there. I went to the closet and chose a boho dress to be my outfit for the day. One thing with my second pregnancy is that I don't usually throw up or feel nauseous which I'm thankful for. I got out of the room and went downstairs. I saw everyone in the living room and greeted them generally and then I saw Fiona dragging suitcases outside. Adriano came to me when he saw me. He hugged me and I hugged him back. "Good morning, bambina." He whispered against my forehead before giving me a peck there. "Morning." I hoarsely replied. "Where is my daughter?" I asked and he snorted, "Our daughter is with her nanny." He kissed my neck. I pulled him closer and whispered, "What is happeni
Gianna's POV; "What did you say?" He asked me again, looking at me attentively and I gulped. "Answer me!" He yelled and I jumped. I shouldn't have asked him this question. I turned around to walk out of the room but he grabbed my shoulder and turned me around again. He sighed and wiped his forehead before saying," I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just shocked. How did you know Diavolo? Did he come to you? Please answer me, I need to know something." "No, he didn't come to me. Alanna told me about him. And I wanted to apologize for ignoring you, I shouldn't have done that." I placed my hand on his chest and he sighed in relief. "Who is he to you?" I moved closer and asked again. He looked at me before hesitantly saying, "He's an old friend. The last time we saw each other was thirteen years ago." He said. Thirteen years? It's been a long time. "But that was when you guys met, right?" I said because I didn't understand what he was saying. He almost choked on his spit, "
Gianna's POV; "Good morning bambina," he said with his nose brushing against mine. He looked back and forth between my eyes and lips before closing the gap between us. His lips felt soft against mine, the kiss was tender. And I was so stupid for liking the way he kissed me after what he did to me yesterday. I quickly pushed him away when I remembered how he shouted at me last night. I immediately got out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. I closed the door and leaned on it. 'What the hell is wrong with you, Gigi?' I mentally asked myself. I felt like I was in a daze. It was like he had full control over my body. His kiss made me feel some strange feelings. It made my knees go weak. I walked to the washbin and washed my face with cold water. After that, I took a quick shower and headed out to the closet. I chose to wear a simple overall dress because I will no longer breastfeed Kaya. "Good morning, ma'am." Fiona and all of the house help greeted me and I replied with a smile on
Adriano's POV; I couldn't believe that I allowed Gianna to go to the club. The club is a very bad place for an innocent girl like her to go to especially since she's pregnant. Nevertheless, I allowed her to go because she seemed to like the idea and I also wanted to clear my head for a while. I have a lot of things going on with me. Firstly, my business is growing bigger and bigger every day and it's beginning to irritate me. Secondly, an unknown number is always sending me strange messages like 'Enjoy those moments while it lasts, I will always get what I want.' I have no idea who the unknown person is and I don't care. Thirdly, my issues with Antonio and my grandfather. I hate to admit but I loved the way Gianna handled the misunderstanding between my grandfather and me. I don't know if I truly deserve such a kind person like Gianna. But I want to cherish every moment with her. Urgh, my life sucked at some point! I just hope nothing tries to ruin our relationship again. We've had e
Gianna's POV; After almost destroying my whole closet, I found a red bodycon dress to wear. I kept it on the bed and I bent over to pick my heels just then I heard ruckuses downstairs. I dropped my heels and ran downstairs. I saw Eddie and Adriano exchanging words in Italian. I rushed over to Adriano and held him back because he looked like he was about to pounce on Eddie any moment then. Then I looked around and saw a lot of suitcases on the floor. "Non posso credere che tu sia diventato un ingrato Adriano," Eddie said in Italian again, and that made Adriano lose his cool and pushed me away and went to Eddie. I quickly got up and stood in front of Eddie as he was about to hit him. (I can't believe you have grown to be an ingrate Adriano) Eddie chuckled and pulled me aside, giving Adriano the space to hit him. "Fallo, Adriano. Non comportarti come se avessi paura, fallo già." (Do it, Adriano. Don't act as if you are scared, just do it already) I didn't understand what he was sayi
Gianna's POV; My legs were too weak to stand on their own. I was very weak to stand up, so I crawled to the door to hear what Adriano is going to do to Antonio because, with the way he dragged Antonio downstairs, I'm sure he is going to beat him up. "Adriano, smettila!" I heard Eddie stamp his walking stick on the floor in anger. (Adriano stop it) Adriano snorted before retorting. "No, you stop it, Grandpa. You brought a guy I hate so much into my home just so he can have his wife with my wife. All you do in your entire life is control people, not caring about how your decision is going to affect them. Enough is enough, I want him out of my house this minute and if you don't like my decision then you can as well join him because I don't see any reason why you guys are here in the first place." He spat. What? "Che cosa?" Gary said in Italian and his voice held confusion and surprise. (What?) There was a brief silence before Adriano spoke up again. "You heard me. Go upstairs, pack y
