Hey guys…!!! Did you like the chapter??? If you did then don't hesitate to comment. I appreciate it:):):) Thanks for reading:):):)
Gianna's POV; I was extremely happy and I couldn't even stop smiling. I kept looking at the beautiful, expensive car in front of me. Indeed the Altamiras are living a life of luxury. Adriano said that this car was among the cars made specifically for him by the United Arab Emirates. My chest would feel like it was about to explode because of the excitement I felt every time I looked at the car. Adriano kept looking at me with a huge smile on his face. This is indeed a surprise. Like I have never driven a car, not to talk more of an expensive car. I mean I get it that I know how to drive but my dad has never ever let me drive his car because it was the only car we have, and that was our only means of transportation. I really couldn't believe that a normal girl like me could get married to a rich man like Adriano. It felt like it was just yesterday that Eddie came into my home and asked for my hand in marriage for his grandson. I would never have believed that the man who despised me
Gianna's POV; I woke up a little bit late today because I was so sore and exhausted because last night. I watched as Adriano was sleeping peacefully right next to me. I yawned and then stood up and walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and then combed my hair, leaving it to flow on my back because Adriano said he hates it when I tie my hair into a messy bun. I got out of the bathroom and walked to the closet and took out an Asymmetrical Floral Dress and wore it. I walked out of the closet as I heard some shuffling. I walked to the bed and looked at Adriano. I saw him stretching his hand to hug my pillow thinking it was me. Suddenly he started frowning as he moved his hand around the place where I was recently laying. I guess he realized that the pillow wasn't me. "Hey." I blushed hard, lightly tapping on his shoulder. I felt this fluttering feeling in my heart and stomach because it was clear that he was looking for me. "Hi." He asked sheepily and threw me onto the bed. "Hey
Adriano's POV; "Forza amico, sbrigati, andiamo." Ivor kept pestering me. I don't even understand now, I was the one who suggested swimming but it's Ivor and Alanna that's disturbing me to hurry up. (Come on dude, hurry up, let's go) "Sto arrivando," I said annoyingly. (I'm coming) "Miele! sono qui." I saw Alanna in a yellow bikini, rushing towards us. (Honey! I'm here) "Wow, sei bellissima." Ivor complimented her. (Wow, you look gorgeous) "Veramente?" She blushed in return. (Really?) "Certo che sì. Sei la donna più bella del mondo intero, piccola." He said again, pulling her into a kiss. Duh! My wife is the most beautiful woman in the entire world, not Alanna. (Of course yes. You're the most beautiful woman in the entire world, baby) "Va bene, va bene ragazzi, possiamo andare ora?" I scoffed. (Alright, Alright guys, can we go now?) "Amico, smettila di essere geloso. Anche tu hai una moglie, ricorda?" Ivor smirked at me. (Dude stop being jealous. You have a wife too, rememb
Gianna's POV; "I'm sorry….I wanted to tell you guys but I just couldn't. Grandpa made me swear not to tell you and he also asked me to warn Adriano not to throw him out." Ivor said nervously. What the hell is going on? Who is that guy? And what has Eddie done now? "Non sei altro che uno stronzo," Alanna said and swam out of the pool in rage. (You're nothing but an asshole) "Adriano, you should try to understand….." Ivor tried to say but Adriano quickly cut him off: "There's nothing to understand." Adriano also got out of the pool and pulled me with him. He gave me his shirt to wear which I quickly wore with hesitation because I didn't want to make him more angry than he is. "Who was that guy? And why did Alanna leave in anger? What's going on, Adriano?" I asked totally clueless. "That was my cousin's brother, Antonio." Adriano. Huh? Cousin brother? How come he and Alanna never mentioned him? Wait a minute, is that Aunt Virginia's son? "Huh? Is that guy Aunt Virginia's son?" "Y
Gianna's POV; Adriano and I went to another luxurious restaurant yesterday after the fight between him and Antonio. He was so romantic, the food was so delicious and it made me feel so special. I lay on the bed with my eyes closed thinking about the best moments we had yesterday. We also took some pictures with the paparazzi who were nice towards us. "Bambina." I heard his deep voice and I quickly opened my eyes and turned to look at him. "What is it?" I asked, staring at his hard rock-on abs. "Like what you see?" "More like love?" I said, sounding like a question. He quickly hovered over me and pinned both of my hands above my head. "Hmmm." He hummed and continued staring at my breasts, without saying a word. "How may I help you, Mr Altamira?" I teased. "How can you help me? Let's see…..can you help me with a really quick quickie? I promise I won't take long." "No." "No?" He raised his brows. "Yes, you heard me right, Mr Altamira. I can't do that…I can't cheat on my husband
Adriano's POV; "You know what, Adriano? You're right, you are my husband but you are not my father. I will not listen to you at all because you are not my father and I am not your daughter. Only your kids are allowed to listen and do everything you ask them to do, not your wife." She spat angrily. And just like that she walked out of the room in rage. I wondered what happened to her. We were just fine a while ago but now she is angry with me. I'm just confused about women's emotions. What do they really want? I wanted to follow her and apologized to her for hurting her. I was going to apologize for something I know nothing about. My phone started ringing all of a sudden. Who on earth is calling me at this time? "Che cosa?" (What?) "Buongiorno signore." (Good morning sir) "Lascia perdere e vai dritto al punto." (Drop that and go straight to the point) "Ha una riunione per mezzogiorno, signore, e sono tra quaranta minuti." (You are having a meeting by noon sir, and that's fo
- THE NEXT DAY- Gianna's POV; I woke up this morning very tired and I felt disoriented. I was not ready to start my day. I felt very weak. My mouth started getting full of saliva and I knew what was coming. I quickly got up from the bed trying my hardest not to disturb a sleeping Adriano. My knees banged against the floor in front of the toilet and I threw up in it. My body was not cooperating with me. I felt very odd this morning. I stumbled getting up from the floor. I held onto the wall for support and I successfully got in front of the sink without limping. I stuck my toothbrush under the faucet and brushed my teeth. I hate throwing up. I hate the disgusting smell. I washed my mouth after five minutes of scrubbing my mouth like I was brushing the fur of a bear. I strip out of my pajamas and hop into the bathtub to take a bath. I was so tired that I couldn't even stand under the shower to have my bath. Oh my god, what is wrong with me? I turned on the water and within two min
Adriano's POV; She's pregnant….again. I can't believe it. Kaya is just six months old. I am hundred percent happy but how do we cope with co-parenting two babies? How is this going to affect Gianna's physical, mental, and emotional health? She barely survived the first childbirth, so how will she carry this one? "So what do we do now doctor? Kaya is still a baby. She is just six months old." I lamented, looking puzzled. Gianna was quiet and that was so unlike her. "Well, we don't know what will be the baby's fate for now." Doctor Miller said. "What do you mean by fate?" Gianna spoke for the first time since the news. "Well, you see Mrs Altamira, if we find out that this pregnancy is going to put you in danger just like the first one, then…." Doctor Miller was talking but got cut off by Gianna. "Then what? Say something." Gianna sniffled. Doctor Miller looked at us for a brief moment before speaking again. "Then we're going to have to terminate the pregnancy." "What?" Gianna and
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
