Gabriella shook her head and looked up at him with sad eyes, ‘But I wasn’t her baby Uncle, I already had parents even though they were dead, I did not belong to her, I would never belong to her.’ ‘And I know that now.’ Elena entered the dining room, as always she was dressed immaculately not a hair out of place, ‘I think I have always known it, I just never accepted it but now I have no choice. You are clearly their daughter, stubborn, independent and tough, a survivor just like your mother.’ She sat at the table and handed Gabriella a large manilla envelope that was aged with time, ‘The
Marco was saying when Alessandro’s mobile rang and he looked at Dante who signalled for him to take it, he listened carefully and frowned, ‘Boss, we need to move now, Gabriella is heading for the airport she had just been picked up by our ‘cab’ driver.’ Dante looked up surprised, in the week he had been here this was the first time she had left the house, ‘Take her to my jet and hold her there.’ Within minutes he had packed up what he needed and headed back to his jet with his men, he wondered how she would respond when she discovered it was him who had kidnapped her again. Gabriella sat back
She pushed herself off his lap onto her feet and would have collapsed if Alessandro had not moved quickly and caught her when her legs gave way she was still quite weak from the loss of blood. He placed her back on Dante’s knee and she struggled to free herself again, ‘Ehi, ehi, calmati, piccolo gatto infernale, non ti farò del male.’ [Hey, hey calm down little hell-cat, I am not going to hurt you.] He tried to soothe her but she still pushed herself away from him and this time managed to stand up, ‘Non mi farai del male?’ [You won’t hurt me?] She snarled back at him using her anger to keep herself standing upright, ‘Tutto quello
She let out a startled squeak as he tugged off the blankets pulled her seat back into an upright position and with a loud click fastened her seatbelt. Without a word, he sat in the seat next to her fastened himself in leaned his head back and closed his eyes and ignored her for the rest of the time the jet took to land. Gabriella watched him and was surprised at how upset she felt when he ignored her, ‘That was what she wanted wasn’t it.’ No, it wasn’t what she wanted for him to take her in his arms and kiss her until she saw stars but she would never tell him that he already had too much power over her. She turned away biting her lip and stared ahead of her she did not see him watching her beneath his long lashes frustrated and angry that she still kept fighting her true feelings for him. The jet landed and he escorted her down the steps and into
She demanded her eyes flashing in the half-light, ‘Va bene, piccolo gatto infernale, eccolo qui, quando sono nato i nostri genitori erano ancora 'amici', anche se mio padre desiderava ancora tua madre. Voleva fare dei tuoi genitori i miei padrini ma mia mamma ha rifiutato, per lei è stato un errore perché mio padre l'ha picchiata così forte che è stata ricoverata in ospedale per una settimana. Quando è tornata le è stato detto che doveva fare come le aveva detto altrimenti le sarei stato portato via così i tuoi genitori sarebbero diventati i miei padrini, avrebbe dovuto sapere che avrebbe ottenuto ciò che voleva. L'aveva picchiata dal momento in cui le aveva messo un anello al dito e ora aveva me, il suo erede, lei era in eccedenza rispetto alle sue esigenze. Non lo so per certo, ma è morta quando avevo appena quattro mesi sul suo certificato di nascita, dice problemi postnatali, ma immagino che lui abbia avuto una mano in tutto ciò.’ [Okay little hell-cat, here
She managed as a last thought before his movements took her into ecstasy, Dante fastened his mouth around one of her hard erect nipples circling it with his tongue before sucking it hard enjoying the soft sounds of pleasure she made. He knew her body as well as his own, raking his teeth over the sensitive little nub she bucked beneath him and he nipped her belly, Gabriella liked to be dominated, and he liked to dominate. Gripping her wrists he pinned them above her head with one hand and pounded into her harder and faster his hips pistoning as she thrust back wanting more. Her fingers bit into his biceps pulling him deeper, ‘Dante, oh my, Dante’ She moaned climbing higher toward her release, he wanted more an
She stayed but he soon realised she did not trust him or any of the guardswhereas before, she had always been open and friendly with them, getting to know their families and remembering birthdays, now she kept her distance. Dante watched her drift on the periphery of their lives, she spoke only if spoken to and then in monosyllables, refusing to engage with anyone but him,‘Quando lo dirai al suo capo?’ [When are you going to tell her Boss?] Alessandro asked a few days later, as they both looked out of the office window at the beautiful lonely young woman,‘Non si fiderà mai di noi a meno che non le diamo qualcosa in cui credere di nuovo. L'abbiamo spezzata, è colpa nostra e lasciarla vivere in questo modo è sbagliato, capo.’ [She will never trust us unless we give her something to believe in again. We broke her, it’s our fault and letting her live like this is wrong Boss.]He said quietly and Dante looked away from her his hands clutchin
To everyone’s surprise, he let her go, watching with haunted eyes as she slipped into the brother's car and drove away turning to Alessandro he snapped,‘Fateli seguire, voglio sapere ogni mossa che fanno. Non la perderò una seconda volta.’ [ Have them followed , I want to know every move they make. I am not going to lose her for a second time.]Gabriella was excited, this was what she had been dreaming about she was finally going to meet her fathers, family, the SUV drew up outside a very similar villa to Dante’s,‘This belongs to you now’Emilio swept open his arms and pointed to the villa and its surrounding gardens,‘All of it is yours little Maldini, you are now the Don of this family, don’t be afraid you have us to guide you as we did for your father.’Gabriella stared in shock as they led her into a large airy meeting room filled with armed men, all of them dressed in black and all of them muscled and toned. She had to stifle a giggle it was like walking onto a movie set for M
