Gianna's POV; I have been in this room for four days now. It was more like I locked myself inside the room. Food was brought to me morning, and evening by Adriano, and Fiona was the one who brought me food in the afternoon. There were a lot of clothes in the closet, they were all my size, most especially the underwear and also there were some loose clothes among them which I prefer to wear because of my baby bump. I wonder how Adriano knew the size of my clothes, especially my underwear! This man literally has the entire world beneath his feet. Adriano recently got house helps, a driver and a secretary which he was glad about because he has missed a lot for the past three months. But I was not happy about it….I felt a bit insecure about the fact that his new secretary was a girl. I felt like she might try to take my husband away from me. Well, it's not like I would sit back and watch her snatch him away from me. Adriano was once taken away from me but I won't let that happen again.
Gianna's POV; I woke up to someone kissing my neck. I slowly opened my eyes, before looking into those glittering emerald-green eyes. I still couldn't believe that Adriano confessed that he loves me last night. I feel like the luckiest girl on earth. He was laying sideways beside me, propping up on one elbow his hand supporting his head as he stared at me. "Good morning," I muttered timidly. "Morning, baby. How're you feeling?" He asked me. As his hand reached towards my face, I flinched and moved back. "I'm good. What about you?" "Same." After a while, he sat up with a sigh, looking at me. Then, I felt his hand on my body, lifting me up from the bed. "Are you still afraid of me?" He asked hoarsely. "No" It wasn't a lie, it was a fact. I know that he has already confessed his feelings towards me but that doesn't cease the fact that I am still afraid of him. "You shouldn't be. I know you have every right to be scared of me because of what happened in the past…but we've gone pa
Gianna's POV; As I was feeling the best moments of my life, I could feel Adriano's eyes on me as I watched the scenery blow past us. The view was so peaceful and beautiful. This is what I have always dreamt of He drove a bit fast and my hair to blew back in the wind because the window was open. Soon after, we pulled up to an unfamiliar building with the name GAX Petroleum Industries Ltd boldly written on it. He turned off the car and got out before coming to my side to open the door for me. "Is this your company?" I asked, taking in the sight of the spacious, luxurious skyscraper. "Yes, what's wrong? Don't you like it?" He asked, pulling me closer to him by my waist. "Of course I like it. It's just so big and beautiful. I'm sure that you spent billions of dollars building it." I said still looking at the skyscraper and he chuckled looking at my shocked face. He then closed the door of the car and we walked into the skyscraper. We were greeted by a lot of people and I responded t
Gianna's POV; About thirty minutes later, we arrived at the restaurant. I quickly got out of the car even before Adriano got out which seemed to piss him off but who cares? I am starving. As we walked into the restaurant, the security standing outside the restaurant all bowed down to him like he was a God. It was a beautiful restaurant, there was no way any sane person would come into the restaurant and claim that the restaurant wasn't beautiful. It had a big chandelier hanging from the ceiling, it also had a flower pattern, gray tables, and golden utensils that looked like royal plates. The floor had aquarium tiles on it. The restaurant truly deserved its name; HOME SWEET HOME. Whosoever was Adriano's business partner, he must be filthy rich to own such a luxurious restaurant. Adriano grabbed my hand and pulled me up to the last table on the left. It had a VIP tag on it. "So bambina, what do you think about this place? Is it beautiful?" He said, pulling out a chair for me to sit
Adriano's POV; I was in my office at my company. I looked out the window thinking about my wife, Gianna. I have been thinking about her since this morning. I couldn't have breakfast with her because I had an important meeting to attend. I could now minimize my time to spend time with my family which was all thanks to my new secretary Leon. Two weeks after I fired Cecilia, he came in for an interview. I hired Leon because he is a very hardworking person with a clean history record. "Sir, the meeting starts five minutes from now." Leon barged into my office panting. It looked as if he ran a marathon. "Didn't your mother teach you how to knock on the door before coming inside a room?" I was irritated by his actions. "I'm sorry sir…I'm really sorry sir….I promise you that It will never happen again, sir." He apologized staring at the floor. "It's fine, you can go. I'll be out in a sec." Huh? What the hell just happened? Did I just forgive my secretary after he invaded my privacy? Oh
Adriano's POV; "Excuse me, sir." Leon barged into my office again. "What is it?" I banged my fist on the desk in annoyance. I have been trying to focus on my work since two hours ago but I just couldn't because of some reasons. "Uhm, sir, you have a call. It's fro….." "Tell them that I will call back. As you can see I'm busy right now." "But sir…." "What the hell is wrong with your ear? I said that I am busy with work." "It's from your wife." He informed me. "Wha–what? What happened to her?" I quickly stood up from my seat. "She has gone into labor. And she needs you." "Give me the phone." I stretched out my hand and he placed the phone on my hand. "Bambina?" I said slightly in fear. Why am I scared now? (Baby) "Sir Adriano!" Fiona said. Where is my wife? (Signor Adriano) "Dov'è mia moglie?" (Where is my wife?) "È qui ma non può parlare a causa del dolore che sta attraversando." (She's over here but she can't talk because of the pain she is going through) "Ok ok. Allo
Gianna's POV; I opened my eyes and all I saw was darkness. I closed my eyes again and I slowly opened it again. I could hear the sound of the beeping machine. And a muffled sound like a snore. Someone was quietly snoring beside me. Is this heaven or hell fire? And which one am I in? Do angels snore in heaven? Am I dead? I couldn't even get to see my daughter. "Gianna?" I heard someone from a distance. It sounded like Fiona. Did she die too? No, this can't be, please. "Fiona?" I managed to say. "You're awake." "Didn't I die?" I looked at her in confusion. "No, you are not dead." She smiled a little. "I-I survived. I'm still alive." I started smiling even more. I couldn't believe it. I made it. But Doctor Miller said that I wouldn't be able to make it, so what happened? "What about our baby? Did she make it? Please don't tell me that I failed her." "Kaya Tana Altamira is patiently waiting for you, ma'am." "Okay." I giggled eagerly. But then I remembered something, more lik
- Two weeks later - Adriano's POV; It's been two whole weeks since Gianna was discharged from the hospital. My grandfather came to Italy bringing Gianna's family along with him as he promised. Even Alanna, Ivor and my aunt, and her husband came too. Gianna got along quite well with Alanna and Ivan. Their bond was so strong to the extent that Alanna got Gianna into postpartum therapy to ease her anxiety and stress. Sometimes Gianna would cry saying that everyone loves the baby more than her. Gianna thinks that I hate her because of the distance between us. But she is wrong because I don't hate her…I'm angry with her because she didn't tell me about the condition. I had to choose between my wife and my daughter two weeks ago which I won't lie was the most complicated moment of my life. When Doctor Miller told me that Gianna was diagnosed with Uterine Rupture, I was confused about it because I didn't know what that was; FLASHBACK: "She's diagnosed with Uterine Rupture." "
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
