THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 12
Antonio's POVI walked to the study that I assigned Giulia to clean and I must admit that she did a good job.Although, walking into the room brought back memories of things that I didn't want to remember.I lost the most important person in my life in this room, and thanks to that madman.I walked out of the room before any more thoughts came to mind.I hadn't seen Giulia since after she dropped my tea and she seemed to look pale this morning.I walked to her room and when I pushed the door open, I saw Giulia laying on her bed with a maid cleaning her head with a wet cloth.The maid bowed slightly when she saw me.“What is going on here?” I asked, pretending not to see that she was sick.“She seems to be having a fever, sir.”“Okay.” I looked at Giulia whose eyes were closed. She opened them for a while, and our eyes met, and for some reason best known to me, I didn't feel remorse.She forced herself to sit and I didn't tell her to lay back as any gentleman would do.“I'll call the p

Giulia's POVI walked out of my room to the dining room. Don Antonio had instructed that I join him for lunch.This was my first year here and I still didn't understand why he kept asking me to join him for meals.I thought slaves ate in the kitchen or where? If I wasn't a slave, then what was I? Maybe I was a doomed captive.Yes, a doomed captive I was. Don Antonio didn't cease to frustrate me every passing day. He never ran out of ideas on terrible things to do to me.Neither Lorenzo nor Sophia were helping matters.Even though I made his tea perfectly, he still found a way to frustrate me, I still sold drugs, I still danced naked, I cleaned his room, washed his robes, yet he still invited me to the…“Oh my God! I'm so sorry” I pleaded. I had bumped into Don Antonio while I was lost in thoughts.I thought he was supposed to be at the table. I wasn't late.He didn't say anything, he just folded his hands behind him and looked at me.“I'm so, so sorry master,” I said again.“It's okay

Giulia's POVI sat quietly as I watched two brothers argue because of me.This was the second time Don Antonio had to pounce on someone because they touched me, still yet he wanted to kill me.I wasn't expecting Vincenzo to kiss my cheeks. It was obvious he did that to annoy his brother.It was still a surprise to me that Don Antonio was a twin. An unidentical one at that.Watching Don Antonio push his brother against the wall seemed like he was pushing himself because there was no way one could tell the difference between the two men.There sure was going to be a difference; I just hadn't noticed it yet.Don Antonio walked back to the table angrily the moment his brother left. He stood beside me and I could tell from his eyes that he was mad with anger.“Stand up.” I stood up immediately and I was standing right in front of him.“Stay away from my brother, Giulia.” He said with his burning gaze not leaving mine.How was I supposed to know the difference between them?“Yes, master,”

Giulia's POV“I…I don't know…what happened to him,” I stuttered. “ I went to his room to drop his tea when he fell.” I explained to the doctor who came in five minutes after I raised an alarm.I was panicking and my palms were all sweaty; it had been a while since I saw some one pass out. My mum suddenly came to mind and I began to hope that it wasn't what I was thinking.I had walked in this morning to drop his tea as usual before sunset and just when he stood up, he collapsed. I had called for help and Lorenzo called the doctor immediately.“Where is he? What happened to him?” Sophia asked as she rushed in.She turned to face Vincenzo who stood quietly close to the bed where his brother lay, with his back rested on the wall.She raised her brows at him expecting a response but got none and then turned to me.“What happened to him?” She asked “I don't know, he just passed out.” I answered reluctantly. I really didn't want to talk to her but all the same, I didn't want her to create

Antonio's POV“It's fibromyalgia.” Vincenzo said as he sat.I had a bad feeling about all of this the moment Vincenzo asked Giulia to leave all the same I was expecting.I've had the signs for quite sometime but I refused to believe it was it.“Who else knows about it apart from the doctor of course? I asked.He looked at me for a while and said, “Giulia.”“Why? This is supposed to be between us.”“I felt the need to let her know.”“Or you were blinded with whatever you feel for her and trusted her with my secret.” I said angrily, making emphasis on ‘my’.“I'm sorry.” He was angry at what I said but he still apologized.This was something about Vincenzo that made him better than I. If it were me, we would fight right on the spot and his apologies made me feel guilty.“I'm sorry, but you could have kept it between us.”“It's fine,” he seemed surprised because the apology was unlike me. “ You sound like you'll die soon,” he said with a wild laugh.A knock was soon heard on the door and

Giulia's POVI woke up as early as I could to make Don Antonio's tea. I was so worried about him that he kept coming to mind all night.Was I starting to like him? Hell no!Having anything to do with Don Antonio was the last thing on my mind. I knocked gently on the door and stood outside for a while but I didn't get a response. I knocked again and stood for a while and when I didn't get a response, I walked in.Good thing he didn't lock his door; I would have been hell worried. But why should I be?I got to his table and dropped the tea after taking a sip but then I noticed he wasn't on his bed.I walked to the bathroom and listened by the door but I heard nothing.I suddenly became worried. I stood for a while thinking of where Don Antonio could be. I decided to check his study; he must have been up early to work. I walked out and turned to close the door properly.“Are you looking for someone ?” A familiar masculine voice asked as I turned and my heart skipped a beat.I jammed m

Giulia's POV“From now on, you'll address me as Antonio and not master.” Don Antonio said and I choked.Was this a joke? Was he trying to set me up?“I…I don't think I can do that.” I answered before I could stop myself.“It's an order that you dare not disobey.” His voice was fierce; he was angry.If making that decision made him so angry when then was he making it? Maybe it had something to do with Vincenzo.“Yes, mas…” I paused when he narrowed his eyes at the sound of ‘master’.How in the world did he expect me to start calling him by his name all of a sudden?I have called him ‘master' all the time I lived here; this was just another way to frustrate me.“Eat.” He said as he picked up his cutleries and began to munch on the meal. I picked up mine and began to eat too.A knock was soon heard at the door. I stood up to go check, but he gestured that I sat down, and I did.“Come in.” His deep voice echoed.Lorenzo walked in, and with the expression on his face, I could tell that he

Giulia's POV“Can I please have a book to read or something; I'm bored,” I said when I couldn't hold it any longer.I sat faced Don Antonio who scrolled through his cell phone for close to an hour and hadn't said anything to me. I was so bored that I just wanted to take a nap.I had yawned countless times, hoping that he'd say something, but whenever I yawned, he just looked at me for a split second and looked away.My head had replayed the hug scenario countless times and I had gotten bored. The hug was sure refreshing and I never believed that moment would ever occur.The fact that he refused to let me go even when Sophia entered was so demure, and I thought he was beginning to like me, but my current situation assured me that the hug was just a coincidence.It was just so surprising that he hugged me after I yelled at him, I thought I had met my end. He looked at me for a while and smiled.“You are a smart young lady; you know that, right?” He asked.What have I done again? He o

Giulia's POV"You are quite the sleepy head," Lucien said as I took my head off his shoulder.I yawned as I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm."Are we there yet?" I asked, looking out the window."We'll be there in thirty minutes, ma'am," the driver answered.The plane had landed in Rome and from there we took a rental car which was headed for Viterbo.I had never been there but I heard it was a great place to start a life; the crime rates were lesser here compared to Sicily."I'm so hungry," I said and yawned again.Lucien looked at me, disgusted. Why the heck was he even here with me?I had the address of the place which Vincenzo had sent to me once so we alighted the plane. I could find my way and put things in order without his help."Once we are settled in, we'll find a restaurant to get food," he said when he noticed my disdain.We?The word sounded so cringe coming from him.I didn't care how good looking he was, I just wanted him to be off my neck as soon as possible.On
THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 60
Antonio's POVI sipped on a cup of coffee as I flipped through the files on my desk.I had my eyes on the files but my mind wasn't there. It kept drifting away.For every line I read, Giulia's name kept appearing.I could have said something to her last night before I walked away. I could have told her how I really felt about her because it seemed to me that she was willing to listen to all I had to say.And even if I couldn't say anything to her, I could have waited to listen to what she had to say.Although I felt betrayed that she chose Vincenzo over me, I also felt a pang of guilt that clung to my chest.I had remained indoors as they left for the airport so that I wouldn't see them.If I did, I would have died of chronic heart attack from seeing the girl I had grown to love leaving with my brother.I thought Giulia had felt things for me too, although we never spoke about our feelings due to the numerous events. Maybe it wasn't my fault that she left me or maybe it was.Yet, a pa

Giulia's POV“I'm not coming with you.”Alessandra's arm dropped from mine in shock. “Why? What's wrong?”“Is it Antonio?” Vincenzo asked. “Are you now bailing on me for him?”Vincenzo had become angry. He must be thinking that I had finally changed my mind to be with Antonio.I shook my head. “No, not at all; it's not Antonio.”“Then what is it?” He asked, it was obvious he was trying to contain his anger.“I want you to be happy,” I said.“What do you mean?” He asked.“I don't want to be with you, neither do I want to be with Antonio… I want to live an extremely normal life.”“Are you being serious right now?” He asked.Alessandra could only watch in awe. I suppose she didn't know what to say.“Yes, I am.”“Why are you saying this now?” Vincenzo asked, his eyes boring into mine.“If I stayed back, you would think I was staying for Antonio and if I didn't come, you would never know how much Alessandra cared about you.”“What are you doing?” Alessandra was surprised.Vincenzo turned t
THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 58
Giulia's POV I sighed as I put the dishes away, I had lunch in my room as I had expected. My palms were sweaty. I hadn't seen Vincenzo nor Antonio since I left the study and I was glad we didn't have lunch together. Never have i felt this much tension before. I didn't know if I did the right thing by choosing Vincenzo. I may not like him as much as I liked Antonio but I needed a life of peace and quiet, there's been too much chaos in my life these past years. I wanted to live a normal life, a life free from crimes and only Vincenzo could give me that. Soon, there was a knock on the door. I couldn't help but think that it could either be Antonio or Vincenzo. I wanted to be alone, and seeing them wasn't going to help the chaos in my head. Especially Antonio. I was so rude to him earlier, something even the dead could not do except they wanted to die again. I went to the door to open it and I saw Alessandra. I didn't notice that I had been holding my breath until I exhaled. “Oh

Vincenzo's POV"Vincenzo," she said. "I choose Vincenzo."I couldn't believe my ears. She had looked Antonio in the eyes as she spoke so how did she mention my name?I turned to Antonio who stood there expressionless. It looked like he had seen this coming.I was utterly speechless. She walked closer to me and smiled. "I'm choosing to be a part of your world of strategy and finesse.""Is that what you really want?" Antonio asked."Yes, it is," she answered.For some reason, I wasn't happy as I ought to when she picked me. It was so obvious she had made her choice out of anger.She was still pissed about what had happened with Antonio.I knew this was going to happen. That was why I had asked him to apologize to her but as expected he had refused.Looking at Antonio's made it worse. He was so hurt and he didn't hide it."If that is what you want, then good luck with that... You should know better," he said and walked back to his desk."I think it's enough with the 'you should know bett
THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 56
Antonio's POV “How did you know that Giulia was having nightmares?” I asked as Vincenzo walked into my room.I still had my eyes glued to the book I was reading.I was a bit surprised that he had come to see me after the fight Giulia and I had.Or maybe he was here to ridicule me and reassure me that I had no hope of having Giulia for myself.I didn't want to give him room for that so I asked him the question that had bothered me since I entered my room.“Is that what you really want to ask me now?”“Yes,” I answered. “How did you know Giulia was having nightmares?” I asked again.“I cared enough to know,” he answered.“Good for you,” I answered, ignoring the rage that welled up inside.I would have loved to strangle him to death but I remained seated with my eyes still glued to the book.I didn't want to start what wouldn't end well.And if I should kill my brother, it shouldn't be over a woman who sees me as a beast.“Why are you here?” I raised my head to look at him for the first

Giulia's POV“You shouldn't use things like this so carelessly,” a familiar voice said from behind, referring to the gun I held.I turned to look at him, and watched as he came to stand beside me. It was my father.“I did not use it carelessly,” I argued.“Oh child, yes you did… you've got blood on your hands,” he said, his eyes focused on my hand.I looked down at my hand and it was soaked in blood, which dripped little by little and I threw the gun to the ground.Lorenzo's body lay lifeless in front of me. “No,” I whispered.“Yes, Giulia, there's blood on your hands,” he took a step closer. “You are a murderer.”“This wasn't my fault,” I cried. “I was made to do it, I didn't want to.”“But you did,” he taunted.“I promise I'm not a murderer,” I cried even louder.I couldn't be blamed out of nowhere for something I was forced to do.“You had a choice,” he continued.His voice had changed and when I looked beside me again, it was Vincenzo; my father was no longer there.“You saw it, h

Antonio's POV“You have visitors,” said the bodyguard I had asked to come in.“I'll be there in a minute. Let them wait in my study,” I replied.He gave a slight bow and walked out.I quickly got dressed and left my room.As I entered my study, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Moretti, Sophia's parents, standing nervously by the window, their eyes fixed on me.“Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Moretti,” I said, keeping my voice neutral. “What brings you here today?”Mr. Moretti, a portly man with a sweaty brow, stepped forward. “Antonio, please... we've come to beg for our daughter's freedom.”I laughed; I had expected this the moment I saw them, but it still amused me.“We know she made a mistake, but we're willing to do whatever it takes to make it right,” he continued.I raised an eyebrow. “Whatever it takes?” I echoed.Mrs Moretti, a petite woman with a pinched face, spoke up. “Y-yes, Antonio.”“What can you offer?” I asked, my brows raised. I was curious about what the couple might have to offer.“We're willi
THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 53
Antonio's POV"No," I said almost immediately. "Giulia will... she'll do it."A part of me felt like I was making a mistake but I really wanted her to do this.If I was a murderer, then she needed to see what it takes to become one.As much as I wanted to have all the fun torturing and toying with Lorenzo, I had to let her do this one.Giulia looked at me with rage in her eyes. She took one last look at the gun which Roberto held in an extended arm.She then turned to look at me and walked past. I turned to look and saw that she was walking to the door.The guards at the door looked to me for approval to hold her and I responded with a nod.They held her as soon as she got to the door."Let go of me," she screamed as she struggled.Vincenzo stood up to speak but I held up my fingers."You cannot keep-""Shut up Vincenzo, your opinion is not needed."Vincenzo and I held eye contact for a while before he looked away and sat down.His veins were already popping out in anger.I walked to
