The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Day Three
GiovanniThis is never-ending. My patience already wears thin as we meet with two representatives of the Vespasiani territory.Domenico seems to perceive my discomfort and wears an annoying smirk the entire time. The negotiations don’t run as smoothly as the last time and I’m ready to start a war by shooting everyone in the room, just to get home. I really have to make her cut the week short. Checking my watch, I see that it’s a quarter to midnight. She probably has gone to bed anyway. I sigh deeply while Enrico is trying once again to be professional and starts another attempt to go through the contract clauses with Domenico and his poodle. “Maybe we should postpone our meeting to a date when your prime purpose isn’t to make us lose our valuable time. I’m not scum like you, my time is worth a lot, Vespasiani!” Domenico smirks wider at my comment. “What got your panties in a twist, Fortunati? Did your gem already get bored of you?” I scoff, tapping Enrico’s shoulder. Moving m

DanielleI wake up feeling reborn. As I stretch myself in the big bed, I clutch the black bedsheets, sighing happily. Wait… Black! I sit up as if I’ve been struck by lightning. I’m lying in his bed. Nooo, how much did I drink last night? Holding my spinning head with my hands, I take a deep breath before I look down at my body, lifting the covers and finding myself fully dressed. OK, at least I didn’t make a fool of myself completely. Looking around the room, I notice that I’m alone and my heart squeezes slightly as I pout disappointed. Maybe he stayed out celebrating. I ignore the painful thump of my heart and get out of bed slowly. Checking the time on my phone, I look for him in his office before I go to the kitchen to see if he might be still there. Usually, he wouldn’t be out of the apartment this early. In the kitchen, I don’t run into him, but I find a plate full of Pasticcini and walk to it like a child discovering its gift on Christmas Eve. There is a little car

Danielle Natalina gasps behind me and lays a hand on my shoulder. “I guess your luck was that Giovanni got you in time,” Sheila continues while I stare at her incredulously. “But I was completely knocked out,” I say in a whisper, making her nod slowly. “Yes. The amount in your blood would have knocked out an elephant. I guess the one who administered it to you wasn’t quite on the bright side. You risked worse.” She sighs, shaking the pill bottle, making the small pills fly around with a clicking noise. “Here are some vitamins I developed. They will help you with the headache and the uncomfortable feeling in your stomach.” “How…” I stare at her incredulously, and she must be used to getting such reactions, as she just smiles and whispers, “You’re welcome.” She gets up, and I jerk up. Obviously, this is the end of the conversation, and she has no time to waste. As soon as she signaled us that she is about to leave, her bodyguard shifts out of his pose, leaving me amazed. This

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

DanielleI wake up feeling heavenly.But I guess I’m the only one, as I already hear the shower going.I had offered him to take me and get his release but he rejected me. Even as I begged him to finally fuck me, he just kissed me and told me that he just wanted me to feel better and I had asked him for a week and he would grant me just that.Damn me and my big mouth.And damn him for wanting to be respectful of my wishes suddenly.The fact that he added that he wished to dam everything up to explode into me as he finally would get me on the eighth day, had me wanting to cut the week short i
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Day Six
Danielle “I went to see my father yesterday,” I say casually as I push the clothes back and forth on the hanger as if I had any interest in them. “No way!” Loredana gasps, looking at me agape. We are currently looking for a dress for me to wear tomorrow evening, but I can’t seem to keep my mind focused on the task. And I desperately need to look at some lingerie as well. By how much Giovanni goes through my drawers ‘by mistake’ there is barely any piece he doesn’t know by heart. But well, at least I get to spend the money somehow. “And what did you two talk about? Did you tell him about your mom?” She walks around the hung clothes, holding a shimmery dress as she tilts her head at me. “How are you feeling?” Directing my gaze to the ceiling, I shrug. “I don’t know. I feel like an empty shell. On one side, I’m excited about tomorrow evening, and on the other side, I just want to hide from the world with a bucket full of ice cream. I knew it would be difficult, but it drained mor
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Apology
Danielle I purse my lips, kneading my fingertips. “Why does this have to do something with me? Maybe they just wanted to be nice.” Shrugging, I look around evasively, finding Natalina, who is looking at me with a strange look. “I was just shopping.” “Danielle…” Giovanni warns in an annoyed tone, and I lift a shoulder. “Erm… Well…” I start, setting my eyes back onto Giovanni, who is clenching his jaw. “Maybe… It is because I went to the prison yesterday.” He closes his eyes as his shoulders slump. “What prison?” “I went to see my father.” Breathing out a deep, distraught breath, he holds his forehead, opening his eyes to look down at me. “No.” “Sorry?” I say with a shy smile, making him groan. “What the fuck, Danielle! I had asked you to let it be.” “I know, but I couldn’t! He was in the wrong, and he had to know it.” I shout back. Giovanni sits down on the couch, burying his head in his hands. And while Natalina leaves the room to let us fight in peace, I panic. “But look,

Valerio’s car parks next to us and I am just about to open the door as it gets practically ripped out of my hand.“Ma’am,” a young man greets me, tapping the visor of his valet uniform.I look back at Giovanni, who is practically killing him with his rageful look and I giggle, reaching out to caress his face.He snaps out of his staring, his gaze falling on me as his eyes change, his expression becoming gentler. “It’s nothing. Nothing happened.”

The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Finally Yours! (Epilogue)
Giovanni Two Years LaterWrapping my hands around my wife, I help her stabilize on her feet as she holds her head. “Oh.” “Are you sure that you are alright?” I ask her, pushing out a strand of hair out of her face.She nods, making my heart squeeze as I’m not convinced as her face seems so pale. “Yes, all good.” “Bullshit, Danielle. You have been feeling unwell for days. We are going to see a doctor right now.” She groans, pushing herself out of my arms. “Can we please just go see my father? Afterward, we can go.” “No,” I answer firmly, putting my hands on the car’s roof, caging her in. “We will go to the doctor’s and after that, we will go see your father.” Shaking her head, she looks up at me with puppy dog eyes. “But we might lose the window. You know how complicated things can be with those appointments and how strict the prisons are. What if they don’t visit me right away and we have to wait?” I click my tongue, giving in as I can’t resist her looking at me like this. Damn

Giovanni “Is it normal to wear the tie so tight?” I clear my throat as I pull at my tie again, feeling like it is cutting into my throat. Valerio laughs, pinching my tie, and shakes his head. “It’s perfectly fine. You are about to hyperventilate. That is all.” I scoff, slipping into my jacket as I walk to the window. “I don’t understand why they can’t just have us walk in together. I mean, where did they bring her?” “Calm down. It’s tradition. They will call her in after the first discussions and blessing with the elders,” he explains to me, wanting to calm me down with information that I already possess. “At least you are not a Degli Baronesi, or you would be choosing your favorite knife at this point.” “What the fuck,” I mumble under my breath, watching the people scurrying outside. He snorts, putting his hands into his pockets. “It’s going to be fine. They love you. They chose you. It’s going to be a nice ceremony and then we can all go and get drunk. Relax.” “You have to l

Danielle I look at him intrigued, laying a hand on my chest, and watch him pull off his now-drenched shirt to toss it onto the ground. “Lift me out…” Following the gesture of his head, I gasp as my eyes fall onto a bottle of lube on the edge of the pool. “Pervert,” I whisper, making him laugh. My eyes scan the surrounding gardens, and I gulp. “Aren’t there people who could hear us? I mean, me?” “Maybe,” he grins smugly. “But we are going to be quiet, aren’t we?” I open my mouth, looking at him shocked, and I’m still pondering on the fact if I should feel afraid. But I guess my stupid body betrays me as I shiver in pleasurable anticipation. “I thought that the hot water would help you relax, but we can just chill if you don’t feel like it,” he whispers, leaving featherlight kisses on my cheek and my jawline. Gulping painfully, I let my eyes roam our surroundings again before I turn my head slightly to look at him. “No, I really want to do it.” His lips stretch into a gorgeous

Danielle “Wait,” I throw my hands in front of my face, taking a deep breath as he freezes, grinning up at me. “Wait. Wait. Wait,” I repeat panically, feeling like I can’t breathe. “What are you doing?” Giovanni lifts his brow, glaring at me. “What does it look like, Danielle?” “Is that the reason why you wanted to see my dress?” I ask, my entire body shaking. “But why?” He sighs, letting his arm slump. “I knew that it wasn’t the right timing. I’ll just get up.” “No, no, no!” I shout, making him look at me with furrowed brows. I lean down, putting my hands onto his shoulders. We stare at each other for a split second, my mouth turning dry as I finally push myself up again. I cross my arms, laying my hands flatly on my chest as I calm my racing heartbeat. “Okay… I’m ready.” “Great,” he laughs, shaking his head, and lifts his arm again. With a small movement, he opens the small ring box, getting my heart to halt in my chest. Clasped between velvet cushions, a white-gold ring wi
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me That Thing About Us
Danielle “Sorry,” I tuck my hair behind my ear as I approach a hostess, causing her to smile at me. “I’m supposed to meet with my boyfriend, but I guess he is running late. Must be a table for Fortunati.” The hostess looks at her book and her smile brightens as she gestures to me to follow her. Her Kimono rustles as she walks gracefully, and I am thinking about whether I’m dressed elegantly enough for this luxurious place as she passes the entrance of the hall with the tables and the chatting guests. I gulp anxiously as I follow her down the beautifully decorated hallway. She reaches a door on the right and slides it open with a deep bow. “Please feel at home and leave your shoes at the door.” “Thank you so much,” I say, doing a small curtsy and entering the room. The first thing I see is Giovanni, who stands up from a romantically set table, closing his jacket as he watches me slip out of my heels and step closer. The private room looks like a private restaurant set up just fo

Danielle As Giovanni enters the apartment, my heart is beating out of my chest. He had told me that he would pick up the heirlooms today after work and he took Gro with him to ensure directly if it was everything my father wanted me to have for the ceremony. Lifting a small bag, he smiles at me and walks towards me. But just as I want to grab it, he lifts it out of my reach and leans down. “Ah, ah, ah, my Love,” he mocks me, grabbing my chin to make me look at him. “Without even giving me a kiss?” I roll my eyes before closing them and he kisses me with a chuckle. As soon as he has detached himself from me, I lift my hands, opening and closing them to make him give me the bag. “Here you are, impatient kitten.”Giggling, I turn around with my gaze already in the bag and purr lowly, getting him to wrap his arms around me and lift me up, just as I’ve emptied the contents of the bag on the couch table. “No!” I scream, laughing and thrashing in his hold. “Let me down. I want to se

DanielleGiovanni surely never fails to keep his promises. I scrunch up my face as the stinging on my ass increases when I walk out of the dressing room, and the shop assistant pulls at my dress. “Don’t you like it?” Loredana looks up at me worried, her question causing my other friends to do the same. “Erm… No, no, I love it,” I stutter out, feeling the heat creeping up my cheeks. As if I could tell her that I’m sore because we took our playtime a bit too far. I pass my hands over the white fabric, and I clear my throat. “But does it have to be white? I really don’t want to… I don’t know… What if he freaks out?” “He won’t,” Loredana shouts, squinting her eyes at me. “Yeah. I think the bigger issue will be him having to keep his shit together not to jump you as soon as he sees you in this dress,” Angelica jokes, making everyone giggle. I roll my eyes while Amelia sighs. She is playing with a veil, passing her fingers over the embroidery as she looks up at me with tears in her
The Offer: Love Me - Hate Me Tit-For-Tat
DanielleMy heart beats into my throat as I see his lost gaze refocus, and a sly grin grows on his lips. “Well played. You totally fucked me over.” “That’s.. That’s…” I try to form a coherent sentence, as instead of being angry, he seems to be overly enthusiastic. This is bad. I didn’t think this through. “That’s because you lied to me for the last five years,” I stutter lightly as I raise my chin, wanting to appear confident. “You deserved it.” He stays quiet and watches me with a mischievous glint in his eyes as his grin grows. Well, fuck. I laugh as he steps closer, and I lift my finger as if I could stop him. “No, you have to stop. What are you doing?” “What do you mean ‘what are you doing?’? We are playing, right?” he asks, looking like a boy in a toy store. Acknowledging that I have fucked up, my body buzzes in excitement at discovering what he has planned out in his sick mind. And I’m totally sick in mine, too, as it seems. As suspected, he doesn‘t stop stepping clos

Danielle I walk up a set of stairs and over the terrace, the gravel crunching under my feet. As I step up to the round table in white marble, the man sitting at it in a nice suit already stands up to welcome me with open arms. “Good morning, Danielle. How are you?”“Zio Marco,” I smile as I take my last steps at a quicker pace to walk into his hug. “I’m doing perfectly fine, thank you. How are you?” He gestures to me to sit down, and I take my seat in front of him. “Ah, you know how it is. Always too many things to do and too little time.”“You have to take a few breaks for yourself, Zio. It’s important that you take care of your health. I don’t want Zia Gigia to worry too much, and we surely don’t want her to be angry at you.” A maid hands me a glass of lemonade, and I thank her before she deposits a plate of Taralli onto the table and serves my uncle his espresso. “Thank you, Evelina.” He laughs as he stirs his black coffee with his small spoon and clinks it against the cup.
