/-Gianna-/

After a hectic day of meetings and glares from some staff I didn't even know existed, it was finally time to go home.

“You go ahead, I have something to do,” he said and I pouted.

“But I want you to come home with me,” I said and he chuckled.

“I see someone's getting addicted already.”

“I'm not addicted!” I said defensively. “It's just that it's so lonely at home. I'm going to be bored out of my mind,” I said and he pulled me to sit on his lap.

“So what do you want to do for fun then? I can't come home with you, baby, as much as I want to,” he said and I pouted again. “How about shopping?”

My face lit up immediately. Now that was something I was interested in. I liked shopping.

“Okay, okay, I'm in,” I agreed.

He opened his desk and took out a black card.

“Here, buy whatever you want. I don't care about the cost. Just as long as it catches your eyes,” he said and I almost squealed.

I engulfed him in a very tight hug.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” I chanted with exciteme

    Gianna-/The driver immediately rushed to me.“Are you okay, ma'am? Should I call the boss?” He asked.“I just want to go home,” I sniffled. I couldn't take this humiliation anymore. It was more than enough for today.I got into the car and shut the door behind me. The driver took longer than usual to come in but I was too busy sobbing to even look at him.Eventually, it seemed like he was taking way too long and I raised my head. He was outside, leaning against the car. Didn't he hear me when I said I wanted to leave?I opened the door but didn't step out.“Hey, didn't you hear me? I said I want to go home,” I told him.“I'm sorry, ma'am but I already called the boss. He will be here any minute,” he answered and my eyes widened.“You called Maxmillian?” I gasped.“Yes, ma'am. It seems there has been a misunderstanding and you seem upset which is why I called the boss. He will be here in a few minutes.”I couldn't believe this. Didn't Maximilian have somewhere important to be? Why wou

    Gianna-/It was hard to avoid the eyes at every corner I turned. Everyone was just looking at me in some kind of way and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable.I gathered everything I needed and headed to the counter. Maxmillian had a permanent scowl on his face, directed at the manager. He had a pleading look in his eyes. Like his job was on the line. Maybe it was.“I got everything,” I informed Maxmillian.“Please sir, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I had no idea she was your…”“You don't need to have an idea of who she is before you have basic courtesy. A card was declined, you try again or ask for another one, not declare her a thief and embarrass her before everyone!” Maxmillian said angrily and the man lowered his head with a flustered expression.“If there is anything I can do to fix this, sir. I honestly do not want to lose my job,” he pleaded.“Anything?” Max asked and I immediately knew it was about to go down.“Yes, please. Anything at all,” he affirmed.“Fi

    Dante-/“Are you sure of this? How much is the deal worth?” I asked.“It's half a billion dollars, boss. They have already finalized everything with Maxmillian and the goods will move on Saturday night,” he informed me.“I see and you are certain the Russian made this offer?” I asked.“Yes boss. Dmitry Ivanov met with him to make the offer himself. The initial offer was three hundred million dollars but Maxmillan wrote it off and wouldn't budge until it hit half a billion. The goods are currently at the Chicago warehouse, ready to be moved,” he continued.Wow!These bosses come over here and wouldn't even offer me up to a hundred million on anything and yet they beg Maxmillian to sign at half a billion.Annoyance and anher bubbled within my chest. This was the same fucking deal I was bidding for at fifty million dollars and somehow, Maxmillan, who didn't even show interest to begin with was offer half a billion?My grip around my phone tightened.“Well let's see who will be celebratin

    Kesley-/“She is pretty, I give her that,” I said, stirring my coffee idly.“That is all you are going to say? Your husband is with a nobody and all you can do is give her compliments?” Isabel asked in disbelief. “Is that the reason you asked me to keep an eye on him? To compliment whoever he goes out with?”I took a sip of the coffee. “Where is this form? Coffee & Cakes? I could have sworn they make better coffee,” I said and she frowned.“No, this is from the office cafeteria but that is not the point. We're talking about your husband…”“Ex-husband,” I corrected. “Besides, I don't think you should be worried about her. Max doesn't take her seriously. He is still hopelessly in love with me.”Isabel looked at me as if I had grown two heads.“Are you being serious right now?” She asked me.“I saw him at the party, Isa. I saw the way he looked at me and I can confidently tell you that if I decided to go back to that man right now, that little girl he keeps by his side. What is her name

    /-Gianna-/When Max had me to dress up nicely and prepare dinner for three, I naturally assumed it was a work associate that was coming over.Nothing prepared me to face his ex-wife, Kesley. I didn't know whether to be mad or confused.To think he even went to pick her up and she looked God, like she was going on a date. Maybe she was.The moment I opened the door, Max walked to me and kissed me deeply on the lips.“You look gorgeous, baby,” he commented and despite the way I felt inside, I found myself smiling like an idiot.“You have company,” I noted,. letting my attention rest on Kesley.“Yes, she will be joining us for dinner. Kesley meet the love of my life, Gianna. Gianna, meet Kesley, my ex-wife,” Maxmillian introduced.I could have sworn I saw a glint of disappointment in her eyes when he introduced me to her. Another reason for me to believe that she had an ulterior motive.I forced a polite smile, even as my stomach twisted. “It’s nice to meet you.”Kesley’s lips curved int

    Gianna-/The silence between us stretched as I watched the realization dawn on Max’s face. He knew he had messed up—badly.“Gianna, I—”I held up a hand, stopping whatever excuse he was about to make. “Save it, Max. You thought it was a good idea to bring her here, into our home, for dinner?” My voice was calm, but the fire in my chest burned hotter with every word.He sighed, dragging a hand down his face. “I didn’t think it would be a big deal.”I let out a sharp laugh. “A big deal? Oh, of course not. Having dinner with your ex-wife is completely normal, right? Maybe next time I’ll invite Dante over so we can all play happy little house together.”His jaw clenched at the mention of Dante, and I saw a flicker of jealousy in his eyes. Good. Let him feel something.“That’s not the same, and you know it,” he bit out.“Oh, really? Because from where I’m standing, it’s exactly the same.” I stepped closer, tilting my head. “Tell me, Max—what was the point of all this? What were you trying

    Gianna-/I was back to the same boring routine. Meetings, seminars, break, more meetings and work.Despite all that, it was better than staying idly at home. Maxmillan was still in a meeting but he dismised me for lunch break and as much as I wanted to display professionalism, I was hungry.I headed downstairs to the company's cafeteria. As I walked to the cuisine to pick my lunch, I could feel the eyes on me, boring holes into my skin.No matter how hard I tried, I could never get used to the stares. Some were glares, others out of plain curiosity and then the judgemental ones.After picking my food, I turned, searching for an empty table with my eyes.I spotted one at the far back but even as I walked, I could feel the eyes follow me with hushed whispers. After what seemed like forever, I got to table and kept my head down.I was well aware of the rumors spreading. Everyone was worried about my closeness to Maxmillan. Some believed that I was seducing him to keep my job but Max wasn

    Gianna-/“Gianna, wait!” Max hurried inside the elevator before it slammed shut.I let out a sigh.“You don't have to apologise, Max. It wasn't your fault, you had nothing to do with it,” I told him but I could see the guilt dancing in his eyes.“She had no right to lay a hand on you. Off all the employees, she knows our true relationship. She had no right to disrespect you that way,” he said.“I am just glad you were there to witness it and not get a doctored report later on, else you would have blamed it on me,” I muttered and something shifted in his gaze.“Are you still holding that against me? I thought we were past that?” He muttered.Past him believing his sister's lies over my truth, yeah. I guess I wasn't angry anymore, but for all I know, today could have been a repeat of that if he wasn't present. His sister would have just turned the story to favour her and he would believe her.“I am so sorry, baby,” he said softly. “I’ll make this right, I promise.”I found myself meltin

    /–Gianna–/Maxmillian’s arm never left my shoulders as he hurried me out of the mall. His body was tense, coiled like a spring ready to snap, and his men moved around us in tight formation.People stared. I barely noticed.All I could feel was the way Max’s grip tightened every time someone got too close, the way his whole body buzzed with rage and fear. For me. For us.When we finally reached the sleek black SUV and climbed inside, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.Maxmillian slammed the door shut and immediately barked orders at the driver. "Home. Now. Double the security at the estate. Triple-clearance only. No mistakes."The driver nodded sharply, and the car sped away.Only when the mall was a shrinking blur behind us did Max finally turn to me. His hand came up, gently brushing a piece of hair from my face. His touch was so careful, so tender, it made my chest ache."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low but laced with urgency.I nodded, even though my hands w

    /-Gianna-/The bodyguards were positioned outside the mall with one accompanying me.I hated the attention this drew to me but it was for my safety so I couldn't exactly complain.Maxmillian was trying his best to ensure that no harm came to us no matter what and I deeply appreciated his effort. He wasn't perfect but he was the best man I could ever ask for.I was doing a little shopping for the baby. Eyes still followed me wherever I went but after a while, they decided to mind their business and focus on what brought them to the hall.Maxmillian was going to book the entire mall for me just so I could shop comfortably but I couldn't let him. It felt like showing off to me.I picked out some napkins and was checking for some baby milk when someone appeared beside me.“You must be Gianna.”The voice was chillingly familiar but I couldn't place where I had heard it from. I glanced to my side and there was this good-looking middle-aged man there.He undoubtedly had very similar features

    Maxmillian-/I called a meeting. A meeting with Piper and Dante. Both of them looked the same. Miserable. Angry. Confused.“What do you want Max? Hurry up with whatever you have to say, I have better things to do with my time,” Dante said and Piper rolled her eyes.“As if.”“What did you just say to me?” Dante growled at her.“What do you think I said? I'm very sure that you heard me,” she huffed and his fists clenched. He faced her with the hostility of one facing an enemy.“Say that again!”If they were about to get into a fight hoping that I would separate them then they were in for a very big shocker.“Do I have to? I mean look at you?” She huffed. “Your business is crumbling, you are broke, worthless with a rotten temper and can't…” she didn't get to finish that sentence when he swinged his palm across her face.She fell off chair and clutched to her cheek as she hit the ground. That was such a thunderous slap. He slapped her like he was dealing with a man.Yet I didn't exactly f

    Gianna-/“What are you doing, Max?” I gasped. After my confession, he just went straight to his closet and picked out an outfit.“What do you think?” He asked. “I am going to have a chat with my nephew.”It was a sarcastic response. It was written all over his person even though he was acting all cool about it. He was probably out to destroy Dante.“You can't go to him,” I said. “He's going to know that I told you.”“So what?” He huffed. “He tried to blackmail you into killing me and you expect me to just keep shut about this? That asshole is going to pay for thinking he can even lay a finger on me!”“Please let it go, Max. He might not seem like much but Dante is a very dangerous man too,” I pleaded. I honestly didn't want him to get hurt whether he was a fucking mafia boss ir not.He was my husband. The father of my baby! I couldn't let him carelessly put himself in harm's way, for no fucking reason too.“Please calm down,” I pleaded. “You need to think about this thoroughly before

    Dante-/I knew she was seeing my uncle. I wasn't stupid. I followed her myself and confirmed it. Her movements have been very suspicious for the last few days, so forgive me for stalking my own wife!The fact she could walk in here and still deny it. Pretend like there was nothing when she was nothing but a fucking slut.I thought the alcohol would calm me down but it only fueled my rage, coupled with how slow business was going for me.I was very certain I had been blacklisted for my contacts to suddenly run out of deals for me.“What do you think you're doing, Dante? Have you lost your fucking mind?” she yelled, groaning out in pain as she held her head. She checked her hands and was shocked to see blood. “You bastard, look what you've done!”“I will only ask you once,” I said coldly, smashing the bottle against the wall as I approached her with a deadly glare. “Where are you coming from?”She stumbled back, one hand pressed to the bleeding cut on her scalp, the other raised slightl

    Piper-/“You taste so fucking good, sweetheart. It's been weeks and I still can't get enough of you,” Eric said, pulling me back into his arms to give me a kiss.I wouldn't even die it, the old man was a lot more exciting in bed than Dante. He fucked me like I was a whore, just the way I liked it and he was a very generous spender.“You want to go to Dubai this week, right?” He said.“Yeah,” my eyes lit up. “There are so many things I want to get for us.”“Us,” he chuckled. “You mean yourself?”“Oh come on, baby. I will definitely get something for you as well. A wristwatch, maybe,” I shrugged.“You don't need to get me anything. I'll wire a million dollars to you. I'll get my jet ready to take you so you don't have to worry about flight money,” he said and I wanted to scream.The man was so hot when he said things like that.“I also have a beach house there so you can just stay there. It's fine if you still want to lodge in a hotel though,” he said and I was just speechless.Eric Nor

    /-Gianna-/We were back in Italy and Maxmillian was yet to say anything to me or even demand an explanation.Guilt ate deep into me and I didn't know what to do but it was obvious he was so mad at me.I adjusted on the bed, staring awkwardly as he walked on his laptop. It was pure torture. Being in the same room with someone and getting silent treatment.Whether it was a bad time or not, I had to talk to him.“Max…” I started out quietly. “Can we talk? Please…”He didn't answer me as expected. Since he found me in Sydney, I have been met with this torturous coldness.I should have just screamed then, that I was pregnant with his child and had to leave because I was afraid when his enemies came for us, he wouldn't be able to protect us.Maxmillian's fingers continued to fly across the keys of his laptop, completely ignoring me, as though I wasn’t even in the room. The silence was thick, suffocating, and it gnawed at my insides, making my chest tighten with every passing second.I could

    Maxmillian-/So this is what we're doing now, huh? Running across countries. She was definitely how much I was willing to chase her.If she wanted us to play the hide and seek game from continent to continent then she was welcomed to be my guest.She would always be in the open to me.I stared at the map on my phone. I zoomed in the spot blinking red. Sydney, huh?I suppose I really had to thank Kesley. I'd give her more money if I could. If she hadn't placed that tracker on Gianna, I would have never found her.I couldn't even get pissed at the fact that she put a tracker on my woman. I mean whatever she planned to do didn't happen yet so I could take it.For now.We touched down on Sydney about three hours later because we had to change course midway.I landed at the airport and rented a car. She was staying in some crappy hotel away from the heart of the city. I typed in the location in the gps and began driving.It hurt my heart that she was actually putting in a lot of effort to

    /-Gianna-/How the hell did he get this number? I got the phone here, got a new number! The only person who has my number is Mrs Heidi.How the hell did Maxmillian get it all the way from Italy?Or….My heart started hitting fast. It couldn't be. It just couldn't be.There is no way he could have found me. He can't possibly be in Germany. My eyes watered. It hasn't even been up to a month yet and he has already found me?“Gianna!” He called again and I blinked.“How… how did you find me?” My lips trembled as I asked the question. “How… I did…”“I am on my way to get you,” His voice was cold and devoid of all forms of emotion. “This is your chance to explain. Say whatever you have to say because when we meet, you won't have the chance to say anything.”I could feel my heart pounding in my ears. I was unconsciously stepping back as if he was right in front of me. I opened my mouth but words failed me. Nothing would come out because it was terrifying.Terrifying that all my efforts were
