Vito Giancana~•~After dropping Nessa at the trade fair, I went straight to Damon’s house to see him. Normally, his gatekeeper would open the gate immediately after he recognized my cars but they kept me waiting. I instructed one of my men to go and check what was wrong. He came back after a few minutes and told me they said Damon wasn’t in. I knew it was a lie, Damon was either at my place, his office, or his house. And it was too early for him to be at the office. I sent the man back to call the gatekeeper. “What’s the problem? Open this gate if you don’t want to lose your job.” My threat was a failed attempt because he didn’t budge. I decided to call Damon instead. “You told your guards not to let me in?” I asked when he picked up the call. I wasn’t even expecting him to pick but luckily for me, he did. “Yes, I did.” He responded nonchalantly. “Why?” He hesitated for a while, then finally spoke. “You already know the reason. End things with Nessa first.” “We both know I’m
Nessa Sims~•~I knew Vito was going to cause a scene, but I didn’t care to call back and try to stop him. Since our secret was out in the open, I didn’t mind them meeting each other. I decided to sit on the couch and wait for Vito’s arrival, instead of arguing with her. “I’m just trying to do what’s best for you.” She spoke in a calm voice. “Then let me leave. There’s no way I’m going to end things with him.” I sighed. “Do you have any idea how dangerous he is?” “Yes. I’ve been living with him for months now.” I decided I wasn’t going to hide it from her anymore.Her pupils dilated in shock and she gasped. “Nessa? Oh my goodness.” Taken aback by my statement, she left the door immediately and came to where I sat. “It’s not something new, you just have to deal with it,” I said firmly. Before she could respond, there was a knock on the door. I stood up and went to open the door. I let Vito in and I closed the door behind him. “Good evening, ma’am.” He greeted her and I stood beh
Nessa Sims~•~With the way my life was going, I never imagined myself flying on a private jet to Paris with the man I loved to celebrate Valentine’s Day. After all the tension and the restricted movement that the exposure of me and Vito’s relationship had caused the past month, he wanted to make it up to me by taking me on a vacation to Paris on Valentine’s Day. Vito and Damon were still not on talking terms. All my attempts to plead with Vito, so he could fix things with Damon weren’t fruitful. I also tried reaching out to Ariana to talk to Damon but it was unsuccessful no matter how hard we tried convincing them to sort things out. I had forgiven Damon because there was no use in holding on to what he did. He had his reasons for doing it. I wasn’t justifying it but I would have done something similar if it meant protecting my business and my best friend. I had only a day to prepare for the trip. We were flying out the next day. I wanted to get my hair and nails done. Then, I p
Nessa Sims~•~I dressed him up and as we were about to step out of the house, my mum’s voice echoed. “Please bring him back early, it’s a school night.” “Okay, ma,” I responded. I grabbed the door handle, and we stepped out. I held Liam’s hands and we both walked to the car. “Is this your car?” He asked me as we got into the car. “Nope,” I answered, putting the seat belt over him. “Who has the car?” He twitched his eyes. “Who are the scary men at the front?” He pointed to the driver and Vito’s bodyguard who sat at the passenger seat. I didn’t know what to say to him. I didn’t know if it was appropriate to tell him I had a boyfriend. “What would you like to get from the mall?” I ignored the question and tried changing the topic. “You didn’t answer my question.” He said, giving me the puppy dog eyes. It didn’t seem like he was going to drop the questions. So I decided to answer the second question. “The scary men at the front are the guards that’ll help us fight bad people,” I
Nessa Sims~•~I woke up early the next day. I was feeling a little bit exhausted but I tried my best to get up from the bed. I completed my packing and neatly arranged my suitcases by the bedside. As I was about to go into the shower, I heard a gentle knock on my door. I had already wrapped myself up in my towel. I went to the door and opened it. “I just wanted to check if you were awake,” Vito said as he entered the room. “Well, I’m up,” I said, rubbing my eyes tiredly. “You were excited yesterday but now gloomy on the day of the trip.” He latched his hands over mine. “What’s wrong?” He asked. “Nothing, I’m just exhausted from yesterday,” I said and walked in the direction of the bathroom. “Sorry babe. Are you done packing? So they can take your luggage to the car?” “Sure,” I affirmed before entering the bathroom. I heard the sound of the rolling boxes. As soon as I heard the door close, I took off my towel and got into the shower.After a quick shower, I dried off and stepp
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.
