Hey guys…!!! I hope you like the chapter!!! So guys, who do you think Barry is???
Gianna's POV; I still can't believe Adriano abused me because of that girl. She's not even that beautiful. I'm hundred percent sure she went under the knife to get that kind of a curvy body. 'Wait a minute, was she the reason Adriano asked me to call off the wedding? And if what she said is true that she would have been Adriano's wife and not me, then I'm sure Eddie knew about her relationship with Adriano, but he didn't say that when he asked for my hand in marriage. Why did he lie to me when he's fully aware of the fact that Adriano loves that blonde bitch and not me? I hate you Eduardo Altamira. You're a liar and a traitor. You intentionally wanted me to be your grandson's punching bag, you old wizard. You will never get anything good in your life from now on.' I searched for my phone to call Eddie and tell him about Adriano and his blonde, bitchy girlfriend but then I stopped when I thought about what would be Adriano's outburst. 'I can't call Eddie. Because the last time I tol
Adriano's POV; - Two weeks later - It's been two fucking weeks since our conversation and fights at the dining table. Since then, Gianna listens to me whenever I asked her to cook food for me but whenever I asked her to cook food for Rebecca, she'll suddenly become aggressive which I don't know why. I'm sitting down in the garden in the backyard, sipping beer to help me stop thinking about Gianna. Every time I think about her, I just forget that Rebecca even exists. I don't even trust Rebecca any longer because she's been acting weird lately. She's not interested in sex, she pushes me away every time I go to make a move. I just can't take it anymore. I feel that something is going on with her but what I can't bring myself to accept is that she is in a relationship with Barry, I mean if there was nothing between the both of them, then she would never say his name while we're having sex. That reminded me to call David and ask what was the progress of what I asked him to do
Gianna's POV; I slowly opened my eyes, feeling weak and sore, but turned over and saw a huge guy sleeping next to me. When I slowly pulled my arm which he held under his stomach protectively, I turned him over on his back. I was very scared to find out who it was, but I silently and gently looked up at the person and I got scared and shocked, Adriano. It's Adriano. Adriano sexually assaulted me last night. I am so disappointed in myself. I enjoyed it last night. I shouldn't have liked what he did last night but silly me liked it. I know that he's my husband but he doesn't love and respect me and this crossed all the lines. How dare he? Does he think that I am some trash can that he can do anything he likes and dislikes to? Does he think that he can treat me like shit in front of his girlfriend and then come into my room in the middle of the night to assault me? 'That's enough you silly girl. Are you trying to say that you didn't like his touches last night? You have always been wait
Adriano's POV; I spent the whole day in my office and all I thought about the whole time was Gianna, and what David told me about Barry's relationship with Rebecca. It's been a month since he and his research team got me all the information that I needed to know. He was supposed to report to me two months ago but he said that Barry doesn't live in Austria. So he had to tell some group of people he considered a research team to help him find where Barry lives and what his relationship with Rebecca was, and we're good. After a few weeks, I got to eat Gianna's delicious food again yesterday morning. I didn't go to work because I was stressed out and I just needed to clear my head. My grandfather hasn't come to visit Gianna and me, which is strange because he comes back to his hometown in Italy every four months. Even Alanna and Ivor haven't visited us which is also strange because even if Alanna can't come to my house because of Rebecca then Ivor would have come to check up on me, his c
Gianna's POV; - The Next Day - It has been ten hours I have been sitting down on the stool in the kitchen, with my hands gripping my head. 'He is supposed to have brought me the results in the morning, and now It's almost noon. I just pray he doesn't show Adriano the results since I'm very sure that they are both at work right now. I'm the one who is sick, not Adriano, so I'm the one who needs to see the results first. Urgh, forget it. I know Adriano would not be interested to know about me or my health. So I will just wait for David to bring me the results.' I was in the kitchen when I heard a familiar voice scream my name. I turned to see David walk in. "Hey, Gigi!!!" David screamed and walked to me. "Hey, Dave. Why are you late? You were supposed to bring me the results of the tests early in the morning, why are you bringing them now? It's noon already." "Yeah, I'm so sorry about that. It's just that I had to schedule my boss's meetings earlier today and
Gianna's POV; I looked at the time and realized that I woke up late. I got up and quickly went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair was in a bun. I didn't look sexy at all. I was gradually becoming fat because of the pregnancy. I sighed and removed the nightwear I was wearing. I looked down at my bulging bump which will become bigger in the months to come. Smiling, I rubbed my belly, I'm carrying a baby, a billionaire heir. I'm going to be a mother in six months. Never have I ever dreamt of having a baby. I didn't know if I should be scared or excited. Will I be a good mother? Will I be able to deal with the tantrums Adriano and Rebecca throw at me during and after my pregnancy? Hopping in the shower and I turn on the tap and just let the warm water run on my body. I closed my eyes when the warm water hit my body enjoying the feeling. Calm and relaxation ran through my whole body until his words lingered in my ears and flooded my mind because I couldn't forget
Gianna's POV; I took apple juice, chips, and mayonnaise to my room because it seemed to me like my presence in the kitchen attracts bad vibes to me and my unborn baby. I dipped the chip in the mayonnaise taking a bite of it. I dipped another chip in the mayonnaise and was about to take a bite when suddenly I heard Adriano's voice echoing my name. Giannaaaaa! Urgh, what is it now? Gianna is always in trouble. I stood up and opened the door and his mouth hung open as he looked at me from head to toe. I wore a baggy blue T-shirt and shorts. "And how may I help you?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows in anger. "I–I was– no–you–uhm. Why the hell am I stuttering?" He asked himself as he was still checking me out. Yeah, why on earth are you stuttering? "What do you want, Adriano?" "You." He said sharply, sucking in a sharp breath. "Huh?" Me??? "I don't understand. What do you mean by me?" "Uhm, I wanted to ask if you are going to make dinner tonight." He finally said. Dinner??? Hell no.
Gianna's POV; "Che diavolo sta succedendo qui?" I heard Adriano's voice and I turned around to look at him. (What the hell is going on here?) He was standing a few feet away from us with his hand tucked in his pockets, and one thing I didn't miss was his angry face. And from afar, he looked cute but why was he angry? "What is he saying?" I asked, looking at Hugo. I didn't understand what he said in Italian. "He asked what was going on here," Hugo told me. I walked over to Adriano and stood in front of him, I had to look up at him because of my height. Oh my goodness, am I this short? "A father and daughter's bond is what's going on here." I looked at him with a blank face and he looked taken aback by what I said. He probably didn't expect me to understand what he said. I walked past him and went into the house and walked over to the kitchen and took an apple from the fridge and when I turned around I saw him standing right behind me. I was scared as shit but I kept my posture s
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
