And there Rossi was. Glaring at her and fuming. Turning back, Leone was fake smiling to yet another business colleague again. He still had no idea what about to happen.What the hell had she gotten herself into?She looked at Josey and knew that she was already minus one in her state.With the rush of adrenaline through her body, she turned around and instinctively charged towards the table where Leone sat waiting impatiently and yelled,"Rossi is here!" She had ran so fast that even Rossi didn't notice until Leone was alerted.He charged towards her as well and out of fear, Gabby hugged Leone tightly, pressing air out of his lungs. She found it difficult to breathe believing that this would be her last day.How did Rossi even find out about all of this?He wasn't supposed to find out until after the wedding, right?Could it be that an insider alerted him?Luckily, just before Rossi could lay his hands on her, Leone had outsmarted him by signalling his bouncers to hold Rossi back.
It had been a long day for the newlyweds and even more stressful for the bride as she figured out that the contract that Leone had signed was nothing but a showoff. Merely something to convince her into marrying him. Leone stopped his car in front of a tall, black building which from Gabby's guess, was Leone's house. Who paints their house black?There were so many rooms in that mansion so why would Leone want her to sleep in the same room as himself?Gabby watched as he searched around the car for something. Wasn't he supposed to horn and let the security open the gate? What was he looking for?A gun maybe?It would be better off for her if he uses it to shoot her then."Finally." Leone muttered as he held a remote in his hand. He pressed a button and the gate slowly started moving to the side.Leone drove the car straight into the house and tapped another button on the remote causing the gate to close on it's own.Leone turned the car off, got out and started walking towards the ho
Gabby was yet to get out of the shock she was in when her phone rang. She picked and it was Josey,"Hello? I'm so sorry I didn't realize when you left. I was drunk and I started feeling nauseous so I went to the restroom and by the time, I was back, Alfred told me everything that had happened. I'm so sorry I wasn't there. How are you now?" Gabby couldn't help but cry. Now, she really missed her best friend and her Dad and all she wanted was a hug."Gabby, are you crying? Who hurt you?""He... he was going to... he was going to rape me!" Gabby said, still crying."Who was going to rape you? Tell me!""Leone. He was never going to abide by the contract. He was about to rape me!""But he's your husband Gabby. He can't possibly be charged for rape.""Define rape. Rape is forceful sex, yeah? He was about to do that before his phone rang and he ran out. I'm going to run away. I can't do this. Marrying Martini would have been better, I tell you.""Calm down. I don't think it's all that bad.
She shut the door tightly and pushed it with all her weight as if someone was going to barge in."He'll come back. He'll definitely come back to finish what he started." She kept making a mental note in an attempt to get herself ready for whatever was coming.She ran back to the bathroom, took off her towel and began to take an actual shower with the cold, freezing water. Gabby scrubbed her body like there was stubborn dirt stuck on it that had been there for years. She felt very dirty after Leone touched her and with tears in her eyes, all she could do was scrub herself until she sustained a bruise on her left arm. The left arm that Leone had tightly grabbed when he pushed her on the bed. She rinsed herself clean with the cold water which left goosebumps on her skin as she was freezing. Her body was cold but her mind wasn't even focused on that. She wanted to escape, she wanted to make Leone suffer, she wanted revenge, she wanted to die, she wanted to go back to her former way of li
"What do you mean?""Come on. This way." She walked ahead of her until she got to a room with closed but not locked doors."What's in there? I hope it's not a trap to kill me or something?""I liked you before I even met you. I would never plan to kill you. Go inside and see for yourself. I'll be right here in case you need anything." The maid said.Gabby, still skeptical about how awkwardly friendly the maid was insisted that she come inside with her."Okay ma'am. If you say so." The maid said and pushed the doors open to let Gabby in.As soon as she stepped inside, cold air from an air conditioning welcomed her already cold skin. She shivered and rubbed along her arms with her palms while blowing air out of her lungs."I'm sorry. I'll turn that off." The maid said, noticing she was cold."Thank you." Gabby replied and took a look around.There were balloons hanging from the ceiling.Balloons that spelt,"Welcome Gabriella."Was she the one?The room was huge and so was the bed. Her f
"Are they the ones?""Yes.""Alright. Call my accountant and inform him that we'll be sending something to each of their families.""Sure. But what next, Leone?" Alfred asked, crossing over one of the corpses."Rossi is biting more than he can chew and I'm not even joking." Leone said, folding his fists.Four of Leone's watchmen were shot the previous night at one his warehouses by Rossi's goons.It was a gory sight."What do we do, Leone? These men today, more tomorrow.""We strike back. I don't like talk. I like action." Leone said, looking over the corpses once again."What do we do?" Alfred asked."Put Rossi on a call." Leone ordered cracking his knuckles."Sure." Alfred said, taking out his phone and tapping on the screen for a while."Put it on speaker." Leone said and almost immediately, Rossi spoke up,"Hello, my dear. Did you like my gift? You weren't forewarned, eh? Get it? Fourwarned? Cause I killed four of your men.""You need help." Alfred spat in disgust."Help me then."
*GABBY'S POV*As soon as he stormed out of the kitchen after molesting me for the second time in one day, I couldn't help but run off to the room Marcella showed me.I slammed the door hard and made good use of the lock. It was my room like Marcella said, right?I shut out all the noise, all the anger, all the hate I felt for this man.For some reason, I felt a very strong urge to take someone's life. If not his, then mine.He was the one hitting on a maid in front of his sham of a wife and yet, I was the one who paid for his own mistake. I was sitting on the floor and crying when I heard some chattering outside. It was the voices of the maids who worked for us. I quickly stood up and walked across the room to one of the windows closest to the door so I could see their faces clearly.They were standing just outside my room, gossiping about me without even realizing that I was inside and able to hear every single word they said."I heard he almost raped her." One voice said."Almost?
*AUTHOR'S POV*The next morning wasn't so pleasant for Gabby as she was woken up with the annoying sound of large bells just outside her window.She pulled the remaining part of the duvet that was still on her body and dragged her feet to her window to see if there was any event going on.She had quite a struggle pulling the heavy drapes apart but it wasn't futile.During the tour with Marcella, she didn't notice that the window adjacent to her bed enabled hee to have an overview of the field of the house she was living in.The grass was greener than she had ever seen, there was a beautiful water fountain with the water as clear as day. A little child would have hoped it was a chocolate fountain. Just by the side of the fountain, she saw a servant mowing the lawn and to his right, she finally saw it!The large annoying bell that disturbed her beauty sleep.Who let it go off? Could it be?Of course, it had to be.He was standing by the bell with a sinister look, wide eyed staring at
