"You need to calm down, it's probably nothing that serious." Gianna tries to ease Nico's mind even though she herself is mentally panicking. She tries not to allow her thoughts wander because she needs to be present to calm him down.
"Jamal is stalling on he information which means he wants to ensure I'm not on the road when I hear it. So, it's definitely serious." Nico says as they zoom past Purple's Ville Welcome sign.

Instead of assuring him everything is going to be alright as she as been since the beginning of the drive, she puts her hand on his. Showing him that no matter what happens, she is right here for him.

"Want to go upstairs?" Jason places his hand on her thighs, gives it a little rub then looks up at her and winks.Gianna empties a glass of bourbon into her mouth and swallows its content with one hard gulp, with full knowledge that she needs to be drunk enough to say the following words. "Suree," She drags with a tight smile on her red lips.Jason gives a victorious smirk thinking his charm did the trick. The truth is charm fell short as soon as the lies kicked in. Gianna knows he's not the owner house in which the party is taking place. The owner is Clifford Sliver, one of her dad's friends and his son is the one who's throwing the party. She also knows this guy doesn't own a vacation home in Mexico and she is not expecting a ride on his jet any time soon.The 22
She got involved in an accident, that's the story they are sticking with. The burial was short, done with a closed casket and later the body was cremated. They all pretended to their friends and business partners because if the story gets out that someone attacked Angelo Michel Rae and got away with it, others will want to try their luck. For a man with so many enemies, he can't risk that.Brianna wasn't the only one that lost her life that day, her boyfriend, Keller, was caught in the crossfire. He was hanged with her. He didn't get a chance for a proper funeral because Angelo ordered that his body be buried in the woods where no one can find him, so as to prevent anyone from figuring how he died. The last thing they needed was the FBI snooping around.The Rae's mansion and its inhabitants are going through dark times and Kaylee was having it worst. She hasn't left her room since the burial,
When it came to her destination, Gianna had no plan. She believed that if she didn't know where she is going, no one will as well. So there won't be any means of finding her. One hour into the journey, she established how stupid she was for that idea. Six hours driving to nowhere, she accepted her stupidity.Her urgent need to urinate led her to her first stop, a gas station. She peed in the toilet of the supermarket, bought tons of snacks for the road, and filled car with gas. It was also there she came up with the plan to abandon the car just in case Edward memorized its plate number, to prevent being tracked.Two hours driving in search of where to abandon the car, she finally decided to leave it on the side of the road, so it can be tolled by the proper authorities. She took two trains to places she hasn't heard of, when she got off the train, she located a gadget store, where
Gianna expects the car ride to be awkward, but it isn't. They bond over their shared interest in rap songs, they name drop some of their favorites rappers and lip-sync any song they know that plays on the radio. As time passes, her strong grip on her suitcase slowly eases as Jacob becomes less of a stranger.At 11; 58 pm, Jacobs pulls up into the driveway of his home. A four-bedroom bungalow, far cry from what Gianna expects. She had something worse in her mind, like a trailer.Jacob turns off the engine and looks over to the passenger seat, "Let's go in?" Jason says with a small smile. He opens the door and gets down.Gianna's nerves are back. Her tight grip on her suitcase is also back. She is to enter uncharted territory and her instincts are to flee, as dramatic has it sounds.&nb
Gianna has been staying with the Bailey's for a week now. She knows the basic things she needs to about the family and Purple's Ville where they live. Purple's Ville is divided into two, the elites and people like The Bailey's. These people are a community and are familiar with one another. To avoid questions, Gianna doesn't stay long enough for them to ask, a piece of advice given by Jacob.As for the family, Beth isn't as scary as she is first seen to be, she is actually girly and Sarah is right, she hardly stays in the house. One will think that she will since she has a 10-month-old baby in need of her attention.Jacob and Gianna have become friends. Turns out they have a lot in common, music and movies wise. Jacob is gay, but he is yet to come out to his family. Gianna feels kind of special that she is the only one that knows. It's the

"I think we have lost them." Nico says looking at the rear view mirror as he slows down.Gianna breathes in relief, she looks back to be sure before speaking, "Thanks," she says."No worries, I love a good car chase and I must say, you brother have quite a temper." Nico says referring to the time, he shot at the truck multiple times."He is insane. I bet if dad finds out he shot at me, he'll be dead." She sighs as her tense shoulder relaxes."Good thing we are close to my brother's place."The continue driving, with Gianna looking at the back repeatedly. At a point, Nico holds on to her hand to assure her they are safe.~~~
"Let me talk to him," Kaylee says rushing towards the door.Alexander looks down at her in annoyance but he shrugs in defeat. He turns to his son. "Let your mother handle this."Gio let's out a low groan as Kaylee opens the door and leaves them at in hallway.Her heartbreaks the minute she sees a Bill, his face bruised, she can't imagine the bruises behind his bloody shirt.She can't believe Gio did this. Bill took care of him when he was sick, he was there during his games in high school. He took care of him more than she even did.He looks so frail and old.Kaylee rushes to him, she falls on her knees and hold his head up. His eye
"Hmmm, are you sure it's okay that's we are using his car considering you just had a big fight with him second ago?" Gianna asks getting into the car.Nico pause for a second before shutting the door. "Well yeah, he doesn't have any monopoly on the car it's not his own."Gianna nods as she struggles with the seatbelt while Nico turns on the car And drives out of the compound.The car has been silent for a few minutes he has driven out of Purple's Ville and the silence is killing him."Spit it out, you think I should have allowed my fight your BFF escalate." He says the word BFF in a mocking tone.Gianna rolls her eyes. "Yeah, I think your fight with your brother could have been preve
"What the fuck happened over there? I got fucking Beth telling me that the gang's loyalty is only extended to me. You were supposed to talk to them as well." Nico tries to control his voice as he speaks into his phone. He doesn't want Jamal to feel he's ordering him around but Nico is really pissed."Yeah, we were supposed to meet up at the gang's hangout spot but your sister played me and talked to them alone. Not my fault bro," Jamal replies."Set up a meeting on Friday, I want them to know who's really in charge. Tell them if they want to make real money, not the scraps Rudy gives them, then they should hear me out.""Why Friday?"Nico pauses, takes the last step on the stairs before speaking, "I am going out of town this night wit
"What's happening?" Kaylee asks storming into the living room. "What am I hearing about Bill?"Angelo shifts on his chair to look at his wife before waving the driver he was talking to off. "Gio thinks Bill betrayed us, he's having a chat with him right now."No no, he would do that." Kaylee shakes her head."And if at all, why we aren't having the conversation in the open?" Kaylee folds her arms"Come on now, we can't be seen palying favorates with our staffs.""Bill is more than a staff, he is like family!" Kaylee tries to control her tone but she ends up yelling."But he is not," Angelo stands up. "Our daughter might be in danger because of him. He helped her escape."
Gianna can feel a hole being drilled on her forehead, she tries to stay as still as possible even though she has been awake for a while. She hopes she looks cute under his gaze or she will just feel stupid.Not that she will be able to stop herself from feeling and looking stupid when she sets her eyes on him, she knows she won't be able to keep herself from smiling.So embarrassing, He hates this, he can't control himself from smiling. When he saw her, he thought he had figured her out, what she was capable of, he never expected her to have him feeling this giddy.He hates this.He hates that his head is trying to incorporate her into his plan even though she is not
