Vito Giancana~•~I woke up feeling tired from the previous night but happy. I turned over and looked at Nessa, who was still sleeping peacefully. I couldn't help but smile, and I gently kissed her on the forehead. I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her, and went to take a shower. I had a day full of fun and romantic activities planned, and I was determined to make it a Valentine's Day she would never forget. After all, Paris was the city of love, and I wanted to make sure she felt special and loved.“Vito.” Nessa’s soft voice echoed through the quiet room. “I’m in the shower,” I said loud enough for her to hear even with the sound of the splashing water. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” I heard footsteps approaching the bathroom. “You were sleeping like a baby. I didn’t want to disturb you.” I chuckled and rinsed off the last of the soap lather from my body. “What are we doing today?” She asked, taking off her bathrobe and joining me in the shower. A smile fell on my lips as
Vito Giancana~•~We got back to the hotel and I didn’t let the news I had just heard ruin the last surprise I had for Nessa. “Close your eyes,” I said and put my hands over her eyes as I led her into the room. She squealed and responded happily. “Okay.”I led her into the room that was decorated with balloons and petals. I had arranged with the room service earlier to help me decorate the room with all the gifts I had gotten her. I got her bags, shoes, flowers, and cards. I wanted her to have an unforgettable experience. She screamed in excitement as I took my hands off her eyes. “You didn’t have to do all these for me.” She said and pulled me into a warm embrace. “Don’t make me cry.” She let go of me and wiped her teary eyes with the back of her hand. I smiled at her reaction and helped her open her gifts. She couldn’t contain her excitement and didn’t stop making little happy dances. After some time, we both freshened up and laid on the bed. “You know it’s a good thing Damon
Nessa Sims ~•~ The last few weeks were lonely. Vito had gone to Chicago to be with his mum for a while because her condition was getting worse. The only company I had was Tremani and the bunch of security he left to look after me. I called and made sure I heard from him every day. Compared to the past week, his mum had gotten a little bit better. Vito, on the other hand, was always sad. I even offered to fly to Chicago to keep him company, but he insisted I stay in New York. He had work to do in New York so he decided he was going to come back soon since his mum was getting a bit better. I missed his presence around the house. I had gotten up early because it was Liam’s birthday. I wanted to throw a party for him. Ellie and I had already made preparations the past couple of days. I felt really emotional. I always felt emotional on March 18th. It reminded me of how hard life was. I remembered how I had to give up on my dream of being a software engineer and drop out of school.
Nessa Sims~.~I didn’t respond to Vito’s text the other night, so he woke me up with a call the next morning. I stretched my hands to the side table to take my ringing phone. “Hello,” I answered with a sleepy voice. “I sent you a text in the night and you didn’t respond.” Vito’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. I wasn’t going to respond to a rude text. “Yeah, I didn’t. You were rude.” I snapped. “I’m sorry, I was just worried. I’m sorry it came out that way.” He apologized. I let out a sigh. “It’s okay. I’m at Ellie’s house, I’m sure you knew that already.” “Yeah I did, the driver informed me.” I pulled the covers tighter around me. “I didn’t want to stay alone, so I had to spend the night with her.” “I’m sorry I left you for this long, I’ll be back soon.” “When do you mean by soon?” “I don’t know yet, but you’ll see me soon.” “Okay, I’ll talk to you later.” I sighed, sounding disappointed. With that, I ended the call, set my phone aside, and went back to
Nessa Sims~•~After getting back to the car, I took out my phone from my purse and dialed his number. It rang a few times then he finally answered. “Vito.” “Hey, babe.” He responded cheerfully. “Where are you? Did you pick Liam up from school today?” I asked curiously. Deep down, I was hoping he’d say yes. “No.” He sounded confused. “I’m still in Chicago.”I trembled in my spot and my eyes glistened with tears. “Nessa.” He called out when I went silent. “Are you still there? What’s the problem.” Ellie took the phone from my shaky hands. “Someone else picked up Liam from school claiming to be his dad.” She explained. They continued talking. I had no idea what they were talking about. I was just lost in my thoughts as I tried to figure out where the hell he could be. “He said to check the CCTV footage from the school to see who the person was,” Ellie spoke, interrupting me from my thoughts. I could have thought about that earlier. That was the first thing I would have done but
Chapter 64Vito Giancana ~•~Our plan to get Liam wasn’t successful, so we had to wait until morning to try again. Nessa and I went to the building where they held Nessa hostage the first time but we didn’t find anybody. Of course, they weren’t going to keep him there because that was the first place I was going to check. I just decided to try my luck. After we met an empty building, Nessa couldn’t stop crying while her mum didn’t stop calling her. I tried my best to comfort her but nothing was working. I took her back home to have some sleep. She was so sad and didn’t close her eyes for even a second. I cuddled her while she lay on my chest, it was only then she fell asleep. I closed my eyes for a bit and the next thing I knew, it was dawn. I called Alessandro to try and reason things with him. I was extremely angry but I needed to keep my cool until Liam was out of their possession. “I’ve been expecting your call.” Alessandro laughed mischievously as he picked up the call. “L
Nessa Sims ~•~My heart leaped for joy when I saw Liam. I opened my arms to receive him as he happily ran towards me. He looked very happy for someone who was taken away. I embraced him in a tight hug and wouldn’t let go. “I had the best day ever.” He said as he was curled up in me. “What?” I pulled away, trying to understand his statement. “That uncle was very nice.” He pointed towards Alessandro. Vito was right, they wouldn’t hurt a child. I looked at him for a few seconds, grateful to have him back, and took him back to the car. “I’m happy I didn’t go to school today.” He said as we got into the car.“I’m glad you’re back.” I pulled him into another hug. “What happened after school yesterday?” I wanted to know what transpired from him. I placed his hands on his head, trying to think. After a minute, he finally spoke. “My teacher said my daddy was there to pick me up. I took my bag and she took me to the man.” I listened attentively without uttering a word. “The man said he
Vito Giancana ~•~I couldn’t sleep properly the previous night because I was up thinking about Nessa. She wasn’t returning any of my calls or texts. I had asked someone to keep an eye on her and also inform me if she ever leaves her mum’s house but she hadn’t left since I dropped her off. I knew I messed up but I still did what she demanded, so I wasn’t expecting her to still be pissed. I got up from the bed and called my mum to check up on her. She was getting better and it made me a little bit relieved. I had left her to take care of Liam’s kidnapping problem. “Are you still fighting with Damon?” I was quiet for some time. I hadn’t reached out to Damon because it didn’t seem like he wanted me to reach out to him. Throughout my stay in Chicago, she was bugging me to make things right with him. “You know he’s the only brother you have.” She didn’t fail to remind me about it anytime Damon and I had slight issues. “Don’t let one mistake tear you guys apart.” I wasn’t really luc
