Giselle's POV:
I woke up in a hospital room and found some gauze on my shoulder.
Venettio entered the room and walked towards me.
"Why did I pass out?"
"The knife was poisoned."
"Oh."
"What the hell were you thinking?! You treat your men like women! Why are you protecting men?! They're perfectly capable of protecting themselves. Never forget that you're a woman Giselle. There's a limit for everything."
"That's an amazing way to greet someone who woke up after getting stabbed with a knife."
He sighed and dragged his hand down his face.
"Why do you even care so much and don't you have a date with Celia tonight?"
"I care about you because you're my boss. You took me in when no one did."
"He acknowledges that I'm his boss!"
He looked at me and I said,
Giselle's POV:It's finally the day of the event. I'm dressed in a skin tight, floor length silky red dress with a slit on my right leg. My hair is left down and I have red lipstick and some mascara on.I looked at myself in the mirror one last time and grabbed my clutch. The air was knocked out of my lungs when I saw Venettio. He was in a navy blue suit and his hair was gelled back. His piercing grey eyes found my green ones and his mouth slightly parted upon seeing me."Dio mio! You look beautiful! No wonder Kaun calls you hottie mama."I blushed and said, "You look handsome too. What are we waiting for? Let's go."He took a hold of my hand and walked us to the car. He opened the passenger door for me and got into the driver's seat.We drove off and after 1 hour, we reached the place. Only me and Tio decided to come.I would've
Giselle's POV :I went to work and I saw Venettio and Celia together.I went to my office room and there was a sharp jab in my chest. It was painful, but I shoved it aside and started doing my work. My company is doing great. I couldn't be more proud of it.I saw Venettio putting his hand on Celia's shoulder. He was going closer to her and before something happened, I shut my eyes tight. I needed to give them their privacy. Once again, the sharp jab returned.I immediately got up and went to the hospital without looking back.I paid for an appointment with the cardiologist and finally after half an hour of waiting, it was my turn.I went inside and saw a man with a kind smile and balding head."Take a seat Ms. Marcello. I'm Doctor Torpor."I took a seat and he asked me, "I've heard that you've been having some hea
Giselle's POV:He wrapped his arms around my stomach and I was shocked.Suddenly, I felt wetness on my exposed skin. WHAT?!I lifted Venettio's head and saw his glossy red eyes."Are you high?" I asked him in anger."I lost. I'm addicted. It's over."Before I could respond to him, I heard his soft snores. Deciding not to disturb him, I pushed a button on the couch which turned it into a bed. I let him sleep.The next morning, I noticed that Venettio was up before me. I heard him in the kitchen, so I decided to brush my teeth.When I came into the kitchen, I saw Venettio and said, "You have a lot to explain mister."He looked at me with tired eyes and said, "What non sense did I spout?""Something about you losing, some addiction and it's over. You even admitted that you were
Giselle's POV:I was walking down the altar. There was a man at the end of the altar. A strong, tall, handsome man. Venettio. He looked at me and I smiled a very bright smile. He looked detached.As I reached the end, the wedding music started to play. I wasn't in control of my legs! The church door opened and the bride walked in. She was beautiful with a pure white gown and rosy cheeks.I realized it was Celia! I looked down at my dress which was purple. Was I that drunk that I didn't realize what dress I had put on.When Celia reached Venettio, he took her hands and looked at her with so much love and affection. I didn't know that a person could express so much love. He was looking at her....the same way he used to look at me.As the priest was speaking, I was a sobbing mess. My heart ached so painfully.Finally, they ended the ritual with a pas
Giselle's POV:I immediately called the ambulance and tried to stop the blood.I was full on crying now. I continuously tapped his cheek so he wouldn't black out.He put his hand on my face and said, "Never forget me. I love you so darn much that it pains. I will always love you."I couldn't form a reply because I was choking on my own tears. His eyes were slowly closing, but at that time, the ambulance arrived and we drove off to the hospital.He was in the ICU for God knows how long. The whole time, I was crying and praying.Then finally, the doctor came out and said, "I'm sorry."My heart stopped beating and I fell to the floor."You must me Venettio Martinez's granddaughter."I was fuming. I slapped the doctor. "I'm here for Venettio Salvestro."He recovered from the slap and
Giselle's POV:(One month of dating Venettio)I woke up when the bright sun rays hit my face. I groaned and my eyes came in contact with Venettio's chest."Good morning amore.""Good morning." I mumbled and got up. I stumbled a little as my mind was a little clouded. I went to the bathroom and showered.I got dressed and sat down next to Venettio to discuss some matters.He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. I basked in his warmth and sighed."I broke up Blackhearts."He looked at me shocked. "WHAT?"I nodded my head."WHY would you do that?""I know you're my right hand man and it's your job to take shots. But, I can't see you getting hurt because of me. I don't want anymore injuries on you.""That's so generous of you. But, you worked your b
Giselle's POV :"What? Are you sure?" I asked the nurse."I'm so sure honey pie. He wouldn't let go of your hand hand kept telling you that he loves you. He was very charming too. You're so lucky dearie. "I couldn't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "I HATE YOU SO MUCH VENETTIO!!!!"The nurse looked at me like I was deranged. If I was her, I would too. Maybe, I was.She called the doctor in and he checked my head out."Are you okay Ms. Marcello?"I didn't respond to him. He wrote something on a prescription paper and gave it to me."I suggest you meet her. She's a therapist"I looked at the paper and saw that he wrote some doctor's name.Maybe I did need therapy. These constant heartbreaks would be the death of me. I got over Tito, but
Giselle's POV :I looked at her in anger."You let him be part of that mafia?""Giselle, I need you to calm down. There's so much more than what meets the eye. You are jumping to conclusions.""You're on their side now?""Giselle, listen to me carefully. Forget all this mafia stuff. It has nothing to do with you anymore. I'm your therapist. Let's keep it at that. Now, do you trust me?"I sighed. "You're right. Well, I don't trust you completely.""Then keep visiting me until you do.""Got it."______________________________________So I continued visiting her and finally, she gained my trust.I was currently sitting across her."So Tito was the one who brought me to this hospital and he was telling me that he loves me.""Do you love
Giselle's POV :"Do you take Giselle as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?""I do. I take this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit." Venettio said.I also repeated the same vows.I was wearing a white mermaid dress with lace sleeves and a shiny belt. I even had a tiara with a really long veil. My hair was done into a chignon and I had diamond earrings. When Venettio saw me, I swear his eyes got glassy.I myself was teary, but I didn't cry for the sake of my makeup.Venettio looked delicious. He was wearing a white suit, with his hair gelled back. His sharp jaw, piercing grey eyes, high cheekbones and luscious pink lips made
Giselle's POV :"He's totally whipped." I heard someone say."Come on. Let's get you washed up. I spoiled your dress."He flung me across his shoulder and carried me upstairs.I hit his back. "I can walk you know.""It's been too long sweetheart."He dropped me in the bathroom and I closed the door and took a shower.When I finished, I wrapped a towel and came out of the bathroom.As soon as I reached the bed, I was tackled."What are you doing? Get off me!"His face was centimeters from mine."No. Hear me out. I honestly love you. I told you why I left you. It's okay if you don't want to give me a chance because I don't deserve it. But, I'm selfish Giselle. I can't bear the thought of you with someone else, nor can I imagine you with anyone else.
Giselle's POV :We quietly slipped into their warehouse. There were so many members.But, when they realize that it was us, it was chaos everywhere. There was blood, bullets, and weapons everywhere.I took down whoever I could. It was all blood and gore. I got stabbed and shot. But, the men of Devil's wrath were very strong.One could say they were a little more skilled than the other mafia. Everybody was fighting and I even spotted Tito. But, he didn't recognize me.Hell's men were going down in number. It was clear that we had the upper hand. But, even our men weren't in a good condition.I saw Venettio fighting with a man. I was approaching them, and from the corner of my eyes, I saw someone aiming his gun at Venettio.It didn't take me a heartbeat to run over to him and act as his shield. I was ready to embrace the bullet, but
Giselle's POV:He was infuriating. How dare he think of me in such a way?Anyways he doesn't have to know that the 'he's that I love is Tolo.Finally, he drove to my apartment.I was about to open the door, but he locked it."What do you want?"He put his head on his steering wheel and said, "Please tell me you were lying...about loving someone else.""I do. It's irrelevant to you.it was who you broke my heart, not the other way around.""Giselle, I thought I could move on with my life. But the thought of what I did to you, kills me everyday. The thought of you being with someone else kills me. You know why I left you?""Why?" I whispered. "You could be lying to me." I told him."I swear on my mother's grave that from here on, I'll be telling you the truth.""I do
Giselle's POV :I was in a crisis! I needed a date for the event. I was ready. I had a navy blue, floor length silky dress on and my hair was in an updo.I didn't even read that I needed a date. "Who should I call?" I asked Tolo.He barked and I said, "Awesome. I hope he comes though."I called Silvio and he picked up, "Silvio, are you free?""Yes, why?""Thank God! Will you be my date tonight? I need to go to a charity event and I need a date asap. I didn't read it before, but now I read it again and realized that I needed a partner.""Calm down Bella. I'll come. Give me 15 minutes to get ready.""Thank you so much! You're a life saver. I owe you one."We said our goodbyes and I texted him my address."Baby, he said that he'll come." Tolo licked my hand and drifted off to sleep.
Giselle's POV :I went to my car in dissapointment.I drove all the way to my apartment without stopping for even a minute.I reached my apartment and breathed in the familiar homey scent.Home sweet home. I locked the door and immediately went to the bathroom. I took off my wig and showered.I looked in the mirror and sighed. Finally, I didn't have to disguise myself anymore.I immediately went to my office and I was greeted by my employees.I thanked Celia and got to work. I was checking files all day long. Finally at night, I checked and signed a good amount of files.By the time I reached my apartment, it was 9 pm. I fell back on the bed and immediately called Chelsea.I told her each and every thing that had happened. I burst out in tears when I told her about the close proximity to Joana.
Giselle's POV :I don't remember when we had reached the house.But, my mind registered Venettio placing me on the bed.I was perspiring profusely. Ugh! Raw vodka is a bad, bad idea.I didn't want him away from me. The alcohol wasn't messing with my brain."Don't go." I caught his wrist.He came closer to me and said in the softest voice, "You're drunk sweetheart."Now I was burning with fury. I hate Joana."I hate Joana!" I voiced out loud.He looked at my shoulders and back at me with amused eyes.He picked me up and cradled my head to his chest."Who are you?" He asked me."Joana.""So you hate yourself?""Yes. I hate Joana with every inch of my skin.""In that case, I hate Joana too. Rather, I
Giselle's POV :I used my superwoman skills to reach his study. I made sure there were no cameras and went into his study, which was surprisingly open.I quickly went in and started looking through his files without making it too messy.I didn't have time to read them. I just needed to take pictures of them.At last, I finally found a file which would help me. It had a several papers. Each paper consisted a profile of the people they killed. Disgusting.It was surprising that all these profiles were men.I quickly took pictures as fast as I could and placed the file back where I found it.I was about to head out, but then I heard voices. I panicked. I quickly took shelter under the desk.I had to cover my mouth to stop the sound of my labored breathing.The handle of the room twisted and I heard f
Giselle's POV :He led me to a big spacious room which looked like a man's room."This is your room.""It looks like someone else is staying here too.""Yes. I am." He replied.I slapped him. "What do you take me for."He put his hand on his jaw and said, "I deserved that, didn't I?""You deserve much worse.""I'm sorry.""Save it."I can't believe him. My heart was breaking piece by piece after seeing his behavior. If there really was another woman instead of me, she would've already been making moves on him.He pointed to the opposite room and said, "That's your room. I'll get clothes for you by tomorrow.""You can't keep me as a prisoner here!""I'll let you go after some days. When I'm sure it's safe to let you go. I run a maf
