Day Four - Part III
Danielle
“Oh my goodness, you have to stop if you don’t want me to start slurring.”
Giovanni chuckles as he fills up our glasses again, emptying the third bottle of wine we shared. “Wouldn’t mind.”
He grins mockingly and leans back, caressing my legs.
We settled into the couch after we finished the ghastly dinner I cooked and continued chattering about everything possible around us.
The emphasis clearly lies on the “around us” as we don’t touch the subjects regarding our fight, my family, his job, my/his money or the silly situation we are living in at the moment.
As our laughter about something that

The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Finally Yours?
Danielle - 7 years agoI am in heaven.I am officially in heaven.Sighing, I watch Giovanni sleep. He is lying on his front, making me envy the pillow he is hugging with his muscular arms. The sun rays kiss his gorgeous face and his long black locks are sprawled over his face.I move my hand cautiously, caressing his locks out of his face, tracing his cheek with my fingers softly.‘Maybe I died,’ I think, making me pull back my hand.This isn’t possible. But the feeling of his lips on my skin, the heat of his body, and the amazing soreness I feel between my legs is more than real.This makes me realise that I didn’t in fact die of an overdose, but he is really lying in my bed.The man I had dreamed of an endless number of times, is really lying in my bed.I do a few kicks out of joy, scre aming into my blanket as I feel the happiest.I can’t remember the exact time I fell in love with him, as he has always been around. In fact, imagining my life without Giovanni in it would be totally
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Overdose
Danielle - 7 years ago “I’m glad that you are feeling alright.” The man I call uncle is sitting at my hospital bed with worry still glazing over his eyes.My throat hurts as I move my dry lips to speak. “Thank you, zio.”“What were you thinking?” He whispers as he leans in, shaking his head. “Your father would have been absolutely destroyed by this.”My father.Like he cares for anything going on in my life. Marco Scamarcio isn’t a man someone like me would expect to find nearly crying at her hospital bed. But my father was one of his trusted soldiers, so I guess this gets me a bit of a special treatment.I don’t remember much of last night, but I remember that I took as many drugs as I could, breaking one of the rules Giovanni had imposed on me.I took them alone.Without even notifying him.I remember that I didn’t want to overdose. But of course, nobody believes me. Why should they?I simply wanted to drown the pain that I felt, cancel the feeling he left on my skin, and go out
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Where is my money?
Danielle - Present“Hey, are you even listening to me?!” Loredana kicks Roberto’s leg who is absorbed by something playing on Giovanni’s phone. At the impact, they both direct their attention to Loredana and Roberto snarls, “Yeah, we heard you, we‘ll be there too.”Giovanni just grunts in response and Loredana celebrates, clapping her hands. “Yay, that’s going to be awesome! Are we getting a lounge, guys?” Giovanni talks even if he is engrossed by his phone with Roberto again. “I’ll organize something.” I’m a bit jealous of Loredana who gets to speak to him in such a carefree manner while I can’t even remember when I got to talk to him normally. Usually, he just graces me with an annoyed frown or utters some deprecative comment.But I’m the creator of my own downfall as I left the territory for a few years just to return clean and feel brand new, just to be confronted with the guy who broke my heart years ago. He even came to pick me up from the airport. And from there it just g
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Mother
DanielleGetting in my car, trying to seem as unbothered as possible, I wave at my friends with a smile before we all drive away in our respective directions. As I arrive home, I park my car on the side of a field adjoining our house. Seeing the disgrace that we are, we live rather comfortably in a one-story house with a little bit of privacy, due to the fields that surround the house. It surely isn’t Buckingham Palace, but I don’t think we would be able to live in so much luxurious space rather than in a rat hole if it wasn‘t for the Bosses grace. He is granting my family this as well as a little pocket money as long as my father keeps his mouth shut in prison. My father was one of the territory’s high-ranked soldiers and would clearly dispose of some information that would have the Boss bathing in cold sweat. My brother, on the other hand, is a good for nothing. A little delinquent mastered in robbing people's houses and even a bank or two. But he is not particularly on the b
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Do you have a job for me?
Danielle After a few moments, Loredana and Alessandra arrive at the club too, and I finally get the distraction I was looking for. With dancing and chatting, the evening flows rapidly, even if I choose not to drink tonight. At the end of the evening, my feet hurt so much that I slump into a lounge seat happily. I can see Roberto and Giovanni discussing in the corner, and I’m suddenly met with Giovanni’s angry glare but I’m too tired to care. Loredana slumps into the seat next to me, and I giggle as she wiggles closer to me. I guess her drunken state makes me courageous because I utter the most stupid thing I could think of, respecting my mother’s wishes. “Do you have a job for me?” Loredana jerks up immediately and looks at me with wide eyes. “No!” I stare at her agape. “What? Why? Am I so ugly? Wouldn’t you be able to sell me profitably enough?” She scrunches her nose at me as she caresses my leg. “Honey, are you sure this wasn‘t Vodka in your glass there? You aren’t ugly! Yo
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me You can’t hide anything from me!
Danielle I open and close my mouth repeatedly before finding the right words. “I’ve been having quite a few arguments with my mom. And Giulio got out of prison just a few weeks ago. It’s always a bit tense when he is around.” I take a deep breath before waving a hand in front of me dismissively. “But it’s nothing I can’t handle. Really!” Giovanni draws his brows together while listening to me and pushes out a deep sigh as I finish. “Your father was a good man! He was one of the few who taught me everything I know. I hate to see his wife treat his daughter like this. You were his jewel, you know that right?!” I scrunch my nose and shake my head. “Yeah… I also remember the big rose-red diamond I had to give back to the policemen who searched our house.” Giovanni laughs out loud, and I’m shocked. It’s been years that I’ve seen him smile, and I can’t even remember that I ever saw him laugh. I take in every note of it, not knowing when I’ll hear it again. We quiet down, and after a
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me My client is who?
DanielleFederica and Mariella are two breath-taking beauties who with their slender waist and long legs look like they have just gotten out of a fashion magazine. Federica has black hair like mine but has chosen to embrace her curls and paired with her green eyes she looks like a princess from an exotic country. Marinella on the other hand has blond hair and blue eyes like Loredana. Looks like they put together a selection to offer to the men. We spend about an hour chatting casually, and I‘m already sipping my fourth glass of champagne as the men are apparently done with their business and about to enter the restaurant. My anxiety is at its peak, and I have to fight the urge to turn to Loredana and tell her that I want to leave as she turns to me. “I didn‘t tell you something important, Habibi.” She looks at me with a pained expression as if she wanted to apologize for something. I‘m about to ask her what the important information would be as I feel the air shift.A group of
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me The view of a Penthouse
Danielle As the doors slide open, I stare in awe at the big entry vested in white marble floors and grey brick walls, ending in a spacious living room with large windows opening to a stunning view of the sea. “Do you like it?” I’m met with Domenico’s grinning face as he lowers himself slightly to get between me and the view. God, it‘s so breathtaking that I automatically walked to the windows without even noticing it. “It’s stunning.” I smile, nodding, making him laugh. It’s a clear laugh, melodic and gorgeously deep, and yet I can't point out why it sounds awfully off to me. My eyes move to find Giovanni automatically, who is frowning at me from the other side of the room. I try to give him a look that probably just a girlfriend of mine could read, and damn it, he is still standing there useless, frowning. “Well, let me show you the rest of the rooms, beautiful.” Domenico holds his arm out to me and I take it not wanting to be impolite. Feeling absolutely uncomfortable at hi
