THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 15
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“Follow me,” Antonio said and I stood up.Just a few minutes into when Don Antonio and I were supposed to have dinner, Lorenzo walked in and whispered something into his ears and Don Antonio's jaw tightened.He stood up and changed in a casual outfit and when he got to the door, he stopped like he had forgotten something; that was when he turned to me and asked me to follow him.We walked outside the mansion and a car was already waiting outside.The driver opened the door and Don Antonio let me go in first while he followed after. Lorenzo was at the passengers seat.We soon got to a warehouse in a somewhat creepy environment and the car stopped.Don Antonio, Lorenzo and I came down while the driver stayed behind.It was so creepy and cold that I fought the urge to not shiver as we walked towards the warehouse which was just some steps away.“You are cold.” He said as he took off the jacket he wore and handed it to me. He still looked very angry.I quickly put the jacket o

Antonio's POVAs Giulia wrapped her arms around my neck I shuddered. I drew her closer and let our lips dance in harmony.We kissed for a while, and I went ahead to bite her lower lip and she moaned.The reason for all this was to prove to Vincenzo that I could treat my companion right, and nothing more but a strange feeling was creeping in.It was just a day of being nice, and I was already feeling attached.‘It has always been there, you just decided to hide it.’ My mind suggested and I shoved it away.I led her gently to my bed and made her lay on it then I placed both hands on the bed so she was in-between.While we kissed, I gently undressed her and let my hands move freely all over her body, and she let out stifled moans.I disengaged from the kiss and began to trail kisses from her neck down to her chest while I made delicate moves with my hands.I soon got to her breasts and I fondled them. I could feel her heart beating fast and she struggled to suppress the moans.I finally

Vincenzo's POV“Good morning,” Giulia said as I sat opposite her and I answered.I had walked into the dining room to find Giulia and Antonio already seated for breakfast.They weren't chatting but she seemed relaxed around him, unlike when I first arrived in Italy, and it pained me to see that it was so.I drew a seat and sat opposite Giulia.“Good morning,” Antonio said with a warm and not-too-pleasant smile that signified a hidden victory.I knew exactly what that smile signified; it meant that he had gotten Giulia before me.It was now I understood why he didn't say a word to me when he saw me with Giulia earlier today; he felt that he had won her and nothing could be done about it.He'd normally almost kill me after he found me talking to her, but he just walked away after she left, and we still haven't had the little chat.We were having breakfast peacefully when Sophia walked in and I frowned.What in the world was she doing here? I thought my brother was done with her.“So thi

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

Giulia's POV"You should know better."I suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Those words made me feel rather ungrateful for all he had done for me.As he drove, his jaws clenched. He didn't say a word neither did he spare me a glance."Thank you," I said, lifting up the weight of silence that overshadowed us.I had thought so hard on how to start up a conversation and this was the best I could come up with before my guilt messed me up.He gave a slight nod, his eyes still focused on the road."For everything..."He gave a slight nod again.Starting up a proper conversation was going to be impossible with this atmosphere.You caused it! My mind accused me."I'm sorry," I said quietly after some time.He gave a slight nod again, his jaw still clenched."I'm really sorry; I appreciate every single thing you did for me," he still didn't take his eyes off the road. "I know better, Antonio."He was quiet this time; he didn't even give a nod."I know I must have sounded ungrateful during the past
THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 51
Giulia's POV I sat quietly as I waited for Antonio to come and get me. He was on a phone call earlier before I slept off and when I woke up he was gone.Who would have thought that I'll leave Leonardo's empire in the space of five months?I honestly thought I was going to be there for quite a long time. Although the torture made it an awfully long time.I sat quietly for some time when someone opened the door.I expected Antonio to come in but it was a nurse who had come in to give me some drugs and food.She dropped them on the table beside me and placed her hand on my head."Your temperature is a bit cooler, how do you feel now?"I opened my mouth to speak but my words were stuck in my throat. There was a burning sensation in my throat.I needed water. I hadn't realized how thirsty I was because I was worrying about Antonio.The nurse quickly picked up the can of water and handed it to me. I gulped on it like my life depended on it and the nurse could only watch.As soon as I fini
THE DON’S CAPTIVE Chapter 50
Antonio's POVThe drive to the hospital was a blur of pain and adrenaline.My vision swam with each turn of the wheel, the city lights blurring into an array of colors.The victory tasted like ash in my mouth. The pain in my arm, an intense, throbbing ache, was a constant reminder of the price I had paid. My face throbbed with each pulse, a dull ache that pulsed in time with the blood pounding in my ears. I wasn't sure how I was going to get to the hospital but I had to for proper treatment and to see Giulia too.I managed to drive into the hospital and I stumbled out of the car, the pain in my arm a searing, throbbing agony. I could barely hold my weight, it felt like the world was tilting unsteadily on its axis.A group of nurses rushed towards me, their eyes widening at the sight of my bloodied face and the way I clutched my arm. I could see the fascination in their gaze, the way they were drawn to my chiseled abs, that were left bare due to the ripping off of my shirt.I igno

Antonio's POV“It's so good to have you back,” I said as I helped Giulia out of the car.I couldn't be more excited that I had Giulia back by my side.I had this inner peace that my woman was back to me and no one was taking her away again.Your woman? My mind made fun of me but I ignored it. Since when did she become; a contract was signed you know?I shoved the thoughts away and turned to Giulia who looked at me with a dimming smile on her face; she looked so pale and tired. Her eyes were sunken and I couldn't take my eyes off the scars on her neck and bruises on her face.I just couldn't believe that Leonardo was petty enough to lay his hands on her.Killing Leonardo would have been a much better option. Maybe I made a mistake by letting him be.Taking everything from him wasn't enough.Vincenzo walked out of the building and his eyes shone with excitement when he sighted Giulia.He hastened his steps as he got to us and enveloped Giulia in a hug. I felt a ping of jealousy but ig

Giulia's POV“How can you tell me you don't know how it happened?” Leonardo roared at the person at the other end of the phone.He paused to listen for a while and continued. “Time to do what?... We already ran out of time.”Leonardo was pacing to and fro in his study and for the first time since I came here he actually looked worried and frightened.Leonardo sighed in frustration and threw his phone on the table.“This is shit,” he yelled. “A huge piece of shit.”He punched the table angrily and a fleeting look of pain appeared on his face.Leonardo had called me to his conference room for reasons I knew nothing about and I walked in to meet him on a phone call.“Sit!” He gestured to a seat and I did.He sat on a seat opposite mine across the table.“Who was the intruder from the other day, Giulia?” he asked, his gaze not leaving mine.It's been about four weeks since the intruder incident, why did he choose to ask about it now?“I don't know him,” I answered genuinely.“Yes, you do,

Antonio's POV“Why haven't you gone back for Giulia yet? Vincenzo asked.He was pacing to and fro in my study while I sat with my chin balanced on my palm, watching him.“There are still things to attend to,” I answered.He stopped to look at me. “Why don't you get her back before you attend to those things?”“That's not how it's supposed to go, it'll be too sudden to go there,” I answered hoping he'd understand.“Do you even care about Giulia? Because leaving her at the mercy of that bastard makes it seem like you don't.”“Vincenzo—”“This is past a week now and it's still not time?”“It's not,” I answered. “And besides, I care so much more about Giulia than you can ever imagine.”“I'd like to believe so,” Vincenzo walked to my desk and pulled out the seat opposite mine. “So, talk to me… when is it going to be time?”“Vincenzo, you need to understand how things work, we don't just jump into conclusions here,” I paused for a while. “You do business for crying out loud.”He smiled. “Wh

Giulia's pov“Don Antonio is back up a hundred percent.”These words were like a bombshell to Leonardo as his face turned pale immediately.“What do you mean a hundred percent?” Beads of sweat had begun to form on his forehead despite the low temperature in the room.“He was seventy five percent a week ago or more, you don't expect him to remain there with whatever effort he's made…”“Oh, shut up!” Leonardo roared at the honest man who was yet to finish his all.Did he expect the man to lie?“Don't tell me bullshit, look for the nearest solution,” Leonardo had begun to fidget.The man was quiet for a while before speaking. It was obvious that whatever he had to say was still bad news.“I'm afraid we can do almost nothing sir,” the man said.“Almost nothing?... If it's ‘almost’, then there must be something we can do,” a glint of hope shone in Leonardo's eyes.“Yes, there is something we can do but it wouldn't change anything.”“Spill it, I'm listening,” his full attention was on the m

Giulia's POV“I’m not going to do it,” I yelled.“Oh! Yes, you will,” he laughed.Tears formed like clouds in my eyes and blurred my vision.“I'm not going to take my clothes off; I'm on my flow.”I blinked to let the tears go freely and wiped my face with the back of my palm.“Don't let me force you, Giulia, I don't have much time to waste.”His face was so straight, I had waited for him to laugh this off as a joke but he didn't, it only became more serious.“I can't let you touch me either, I'm on my flow,” I wiped off the tear that dropped from my eyes. “Don't you have any human sympathy?”That question must have triggered something in Leonardo 'cause the next thing that came after it was a hard slap.I put my hand on my face to ease the sting that came from the slap. My lower lip hurt too and I could tell that it was torn.“You can hit me all you want Leonardo, I'm not going to let you get what you want.”“We'll see about that,” his face was blank and he didn't make a move. I had
