I've Forgiven You

Antonio arrived at the clan feeling extremely tired and hungry. He frowned when he entered his suite and he didn't see food anywhere.

He sent for Luca immediately. "Boss you sent for me", Luca said. "Why's my dinner not served by this time", he asked

"Sorry boss, Ginevra Is the one in charge of that", Luca replied. Antonio seemed to be lost in thoughts before he came out of it. "Isn't that the sharp mouthed girl", he asked and Luca replied with a nod.

"Why hasn't she brought my meal by this time", Antonio asked. "I'll tell her to do that now", Luca said. "How will she do that quickly, i want to eat before 8pm. That means she has only thirty minutes", Antonio said

Luca went to relay the message. He got to the room Ginevra stays but he didn't see her there. Instead he saw Perla so he decided to tell her. "If Ginevra comes back, tell her that boss needs his dinner in the next thirty minutes and she should not be late", Luca said and left.

Almost immediately, Ginevra stepped in.

"Oh, you're here. Luca was here earlier, he said I should tell you the boss needs his dinner in the next thirty minutes and you shouldn't be late", Perla said

"Oh shit", Ginevra cursed. "What will I do now". An idea suddenly popped up in her head and she smiled. "That's why it's good to stay with your mum in the kitchen", she said with a smile

She went to the kitchen and prepared what her mum would usually cook if she and her did wants to eat urgently. She made some Risottos. It took her few minutes to do that

She served the food and brought out a bottle of orange juice, she placed it beside the food. She carried the tray of food gently and went to Antonio's suite

She knocked and he opened the door almost immediately. "Good evening Sir", Ginevra greeted.

"Hmm, don't serve me late next time, I'm not always nice. Didn't you read the rule book?", Antonio asked. Ginevra took her lips in and looked down

"I guess you didn't and it's also in the rule book to taste my food before I eat it", Antonio said. Ginevra have him a confused look. "To avoid getting poisoned", Antonio said. Ginevra nodded and dropped the tray.

Antonio's eyes trailed her and frowned when he saw the gown she was putting on. "Why are you dressed like a b!tch", Antonio said and regretted it immediately.

Ginevra looked down when she noticed her eyes were becoming watery. She bit her lips to suppress any sound from escaping.

"I'm sorry for that, didn't actually mean it", Antonio said remorsefully. "It's okay, maybe I'm a b!tch as you said", Ginevra managed to say. "No you're not, it was a slip of the tongue", Antonio said

A liquid dropped on the floor and Antonio saw it falling from Ginevra's face. "Are you crying", Antonio asked. Ginevra quickly wiped her tears and shook her head. And with a cracked voice she said "No I'm not",

Antonio knew she cried but he decided not to push it further. "You can go", he said.Ginevra nodded and walked away with her face glued to the floor.

"I'm such a jerk", Antonio sighed and looked at the food she brought. "I even forgot to let her taste it. I don't care about that for now, I'm hungry", Antonio said and opened the food.

He was surprised to see Risottos. This was the same food Aurora would prepare for him when he needs an urgent food. "She reminds me so much of the person I'm trying to forget", Antonio muttered with an expressionless face.

He started eating and couldn't help but notice the difference in the food. Ginevra's Risotto tastes better than Aurora's. He finished the food and drank the juice before going to the bathroom.

The images of Ginevra walking flashed through his mind. "Her body is damn sexy", Antonio said without realizing it.

"Why am I suddenly thinking of her in a perverted way", Antonio groaned and turned on the shower to allow cold water pour over him.

He successfully got her out of his mind. He turned off the shower and dried his body then changed into his night wear. It took a while before he slept off.

Meanwhile, Ginevra went straight to her room with a sullen look. "What happened, why is your face like that", Bianca asked

"It's nothing", Ginevra muttered and went straight to her bed and slept off

"Who the fuck is she", Natasha asked. "You mean Ginevra?", Perla asked. "Is that her name, i don't even care, who's she", Natasha asked again. "Our new roommate, she's friendly tho", Perla replied and Natasha scoffed

"I don't care", she said and laid on her bed then dozed off too. "What happened to her", Perla muttered looking at Ginevra.

Somewhere in X city**

"It's been four days now and I haven't set my eyes on my daughter. I don't think I'll survive any longer if I don't see my Ginevra", Aria cried. "Don't worry, she'll come back", Leonardo said comfortingly.

"When??", she asked sniffing. "Both my daughters have left me. First it was Emilia and now Ginevra". "Stop getting worried, who knows maybe they're doing fine", Leonard shrugged and that seemed to have angered Aria a little.

"What are you trying to say??, are you telling me to forget about my kids??, just like that", Aria asked with a high pitched tone. Leonardo shook his head severally.

"That's not what I'm trying to, I was just..."

"Save it, I'm going to find some sleep", Aria cut him short and climbed the stairs.

"My love wait, it's not what you think. Okay fine, I'm sorry. Let's look for our children together", Leonardo shouted running after Aria. "Leave me alone", Aria said and laid on the bed.

Leonardo joined her on the bed and she faced the other side, backing him. He hugged her waist from behind and pulled her close to him, he started planting kisses on her neck.

"I'm sorry, I promise to look for our babies, together", Leonardo whisper in her ear. Aria turned to him with a smile

"Together", Leonardo smiled and kissed her before placing a pillow under her head. "Goodnight", he said. "Goodnight", she said and turned off the bedside lamp. He pulled her closer to him, they cuddled and slept off like that.

Somewhere in Italy**

*knocks* *knocks*. She got up and opened the door immediately since it's only one person that knows where she is.

"Welcome", she muttered. "Keep your welcome to yourself. You just remind of how useless someone can be. I gave you a simple task and you failed it", a man said.

"I did what you told me to do, I did my best. Besides that was five years ago, why are bringing it up", she said. "Your best wasn't enough. I only told you to make my brother fall in love with you and break him beyond repair. But what did you do, he's doing better than before", he roared angrily.

"I made him fall in love with me and broke him like you said so if he's doing better than before then I'm not the reason for that", she fired back. "I can see you still love him that's why you're defending him but don't forget I'm your master so don't talk to me anyhow. I save your life and now you are forever indebted to me", he smirked devilishly

"I regret listening to you, i wish I had never left Antonio", she spat. He got angry at what she said but decided to let it slide. "Of course, you wish, after all all human beings have many wishes but few are been granted. But yours is impossible", he smirked.

"I hate you", she said with contempt. "The feeling is mutual baby. I'm horny", he said and she eyed him. "Didn't you hear what I said", he asked. "What do you want me to do", she scoffed. "Strip", he ordered.

"I'm sorry I can't, we did it this morning and I'm still feeling sore", she said. "And how is that any of my business", he asked

"I'm feeling sore, can't you hear", she said

"For the last time, strip or I'll do that for you and trust me, you won't like it", he said with a lustful and dangerous look in his eyes. "And I said no", she said stubbornly.

He got angry and tore the clothes she was putting on, he pushed her on the bed.

Luckily she wasn't wearing anything beneath so he just unbuckled his belt, removed his trouser and without warning, he thrusted into her.

"Stop, it hurts, please", she pleaded but he ignored her and continued thrusting into her pussy roughly. "I hate you,,,where are you Antonio", she cried out.

He slapped her cheeks hardly. "Don't call another man's name when I'm fucking you. You will scream my name and my name alone", he said and spanked her ass cheek hardly.

Instead of feeling pleasure, she felt pains. Her insides were burning. He thrusted into her one more time and pulled out from her, he released on her stomach.

He got away away from her and wore his trousers and licked his lips. "I'm still keeping you alive because you're sweet down there so you better don't get on my nerves or I'll end you right away", he said and left.

Aurora cried so much, her body was on fire. She tried getting up to wear her clothes but she fell back on her bed. She cried until she slept off.

Next Day**

Ginevra has been trying to avoid Antonio since last night's incident. She went to clean his suite when he was in the training room and now she's been waiting for him to leave his suite so she will go an pack the plates.

She was sitting on her bed, resting her back on the wall with her legs crossed. She was reading a novel and she seems to be engrossed in it. "Ginevra, the boss seeks your presence now", an informant said. Ginevra's heart skipped many beats, her heart almost evaporated.

She's so so ashamed to face him because she cried in front of him and he'll start seeing her as a weakling.."Why is he calling me now", Ginevra thought.

She got down from her bed, wore her flip flops and went to his suite. Thanks to Antonio, she was putting on an oversized gown, her shape wasn't revealed that much.

"Good day, you sent for me boss", Ginevra said looking down. Antonio looked at her and smiled when he was what she wore. At least he won't have to take another cold shower because of her.

"Hmm, I did. Pack those plates, i don't want rats sleeping with me", Antonio said looking at her. Without saying a word, Ginevra went to pack the plates. "Is that all", she asked still with her head facing the ground. "Yes, that'll be all for now", he said

Ginevra nodded and walked to the door and made to open it but he stopped her.

"Wait", he said and she paused.

"I'm really sorry for what I said last night, I didn't intend to say that", Antonio said sincerely. "It's okay, I've already forgotten about it", she said without sparing him a glance.

"Can you look into my eyes and say you've forgiven me", Antonio requested.

Ginevra slowly raised her head and her emerald eyes met with his pleading eyes which surprised her. "I have forgiven you", she said and he smiled shortly.

"Thank you", he said and she wanted to leave but he stopped her again by holding her wrist. "Why have you been avoiding me", he asked and she bashed her lashes

"Uh oh, I've been busted", she said inwardly but pretended like she's not guilty. "Avoiding you??", she asked with an awkward look. "Yes, you came to clean my suite and drop my food when I wasn't around. Why is that so??", He asked

"I don't know what you're talking about", Ginevra lied. "Are you lying", Antonio asked. "Yes...I mean...no", Ginevra slapped her hand on her mouth to prevent further embarrassment.

Antonio chuckled throatily. "You can go", he said but she didn't move and he looked at her.

"I said you can leave", he repeated but she wasn't looking at him but something else. He traced her eyes to what she was looking at and he noticed he was still holding onto her wrist.

He released her and she left his suite. Antonio rested his back on the door and shut his eyes. "What has gotten into me", Antonio groaned silently.
