All Chapters of Cruel Attraction: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Gabriella’s POV I glance at Rover again, watching him eat his bacon like he always does in the morning. Allistori is simply giving me a nudge while he’s sipping coffee and reading a newspaper. Since when did he read those kinds of things, though? I couldn’t help but kick him under the table.“ Aw shit.”His eyes widened and we both stare at Rover.“ No foul language in front of the food, please.” He raised his brows and give Allistori his usual deep stare. It was just a second, but I swear it gives me goosebumps. “Do you want to say something, Papa?”I gave Allistori an icy stare. I’m kind of warning him not to say anything. We had an argument last night, and it ended well. He’s still pushing me to talk to Rover, which I found ridiculous. Because for years, we’ve lived at the edge of the mountain, unseen from the ambiguity of the world.Allistori forced a smile. “Nothing kiddo. I was just wondering if you have something to say to your mom.”I can hear crickets in the background. Alli

Gabriella’s POV My eyes settled on the flat-screen TV. A smirk on my lips appeared when I saw my own reflection on it. It’s all going according to my plan. It took me years to build everything from the scratch and now, it’s happening. That had been the dream. To see Giovanni’s downfall after he causes mine. I knew he was leading all the families in New York now. He’s the only Capo of the three families but I’m afraid I have to snatch his crown. There should only be one master and that’s Vittorio. He thought I was dead. Everyone thought I was dead and was killed seven years ago but the truth is, I wasn’t. I am only messing with his mind and substantially leaving evidence that I am alive. I want him crazy. Giovanni and madness are a good combination for me to ruin his father. We have a common enemy. Seven years ago, I thought Giovanni knew what he was doing. I thought he got everything under control but he got blinded by his love for me. He mourned, and while he was mourning, his

Giovanni’s POV “ Do you even know what you are doing?” Sucking in sharp breaths, Alana looked at me with her usual angelic face. I should’ve known it for so long that someone like her would pull something like this. However, it was too late for me to regret it. I tried to move my body to stop her from putting some ointment on my neck when I heard a creak of a door, revealing Kenzo’s poker face. Kenzo fully opened the doors, smoke billowing from his mouth. He threw some clean clothes on the bedside table and looked at Alana. I saw his eyes rolling when he saw what she was doing but it was replaced with a smirk when he saw that I was cuffed on the bed. “ Make sure he won’t get out until he’s rational enough to think,” Kenzo bitterly commanded. I sarcastically chuckled. “ Bullshit. Since when did you have permission to command me?” Kenzo walks to the nearest window and flicks the butt of the cigarette out and then turns around with a much darker face. “ Since you became too s

Nightmare Sunlight hits my face. I coughed and opened my eyes only to close it again just so I could save myself from the sudden ache in my head. “ What the hell? Where am I?” I looked around me and shock must have been registered on my face when I realized that I was back inside my office. Don’t tell me—that was just a dream? My hands went to massage my head while I am drowning thinking of everything that happened last night. It felt so real. Everything was so vivid and there’s no fucking way it’s just a dream. “ Good morning to you too, Dela Vin,” Alana entered with her usual white jeans and black coat outfit, serving me some tea and pills I’ve been taking for years. She fully opened the curtain and I was once again lost when I saw that it was nearly 12 in the afternoon. “ Just how long have I been out, Alana?” I asked, groggily pouring myself cold water. I still can’t believe that it’s just a dream. “ I can’t remember anything about last night—” “ Hah!” Alana chuckled.

Giovanni I blinked in surprise. I didn’t expect my father to give up easily on his dreams to rule every family in New York but guess what? He just did and now I’m lost. Even after getting out of the hall and dropping that bomb like it was just news he picked up from the street, he went out saying he needed to catch his favorite restaurant before it closed down. There was silence for a few minutes and I wasn’t surprised to see Sebastian storming out into my direction and putting his gun at my head with his face seething with anger. “ You!” He shouted, totally losing his control in front of everyone who stood up to watch this shitshow he orchestrated. “ You planned all of this! You manipulated our father! You feed him lies about Vittorio’s riches and influence being yours and look at him now! Totally wrecking this family’s legacy because of your lies!” I stayed silent, just watching Sebastian make a fool out of himself. He pointed his gun harder into my head and I blinked at him in
