All Chapters of Dark Paradise : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO When we walked out the ballroom, Giovanni placed his hand on my lower back.I shoved his hand off, pulled out my blade then pinned him up against the wall with the blade pressed against his neck."Don't fucking touch me." I snapped.He smirked, twisting my arm, he yanked the blade away from my grip, spun us around then pressed the sharp blade against my neck."Feisty." He teased.I rolled my eyes then aggressively pushed him away from me. I grabbed my blade out of his hand then tucked it back under my dress."Dick."I walked past him and marched over to my car.I pushed the start button and the engine roared to life, turning my head. Giovanni's car pulled up beside me, he rolled down his window and I did the same.We glared at each other, dark amusement filled his eyes.I broke eye contact and sighed, waiting for Giovanni to lead the way. His car drove down the street and waited for me in front of a stop sign. I shifted my gear then followed him from behind

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Where the hell is she?!"We landed a few hours ago. During the flight Giovanni tried to convince me to not kill Amelia but I disagree. Whoever betrays me should be killed and I will stand by that till the day I die.I push open the door and as soon as Giovanni and his men step in, everyone in the weapons room pulls out their guns pointing it towards Giovanni.The room went silent but you could hear the whispers. "Stand down." I shouted. They all looked confused and hesitated. "I said, stand down." I repeated slowly.They all lowered their weapons, I turned to Giovanni. "I told you to stay in the car." I whispered. He leaned in and everyone's guns cocked. "I don't take orders from anyone, Gabriella." He said with his deep voice. Clenching my fist I took a deep breath and turned around, immediately everyone lowered their weapons' again.Working with Giovanni will be difficult."Amelia Sanders! Where is she?"Everyone turned their heads to the back and Amelia

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO The kiss was slow and passionate. For some reason, I wanted to kiss this man forever.My heart began to pound against my chest. I was on fire, feeling desire run from my heart to my chest and all the way down between my inner thighs.His fingers traced my face and the hairs on my neck rose. I got chills.His right hand went from the sides of my head and down to my neck, then my arm and down to my hand, He grabbed my hand gently yet firm.Then locked our hands together as he deepened the kiss.My heart is about to beat out of my chest. I haven't felt like this before. What scares me is that Giovanni is letting me feel like this.I hate to admit it but I love it.He pulled away and we both were out of breath.He bit his lower lip then leaned in and his warm breath tickled my neck, goosebumps immediately covered my skin.Giovanni kisses my shoulder and runs his lips on my skin all the way to my earlobe. His lips brushed my neck, I tilted my head wrapping my fr

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON "Thank you for coming," Gabriella spoke through the microphone.There were whispers heard in the silent crowd."Some of you might know that Mr. Carson and I have history," she said."We have decided to put that aside and work together. I know this is too much to take in but this is happening for a valid reason.""So we have gathered here today to celebrate unity between us two gangs."Gabriella handed me the microphone. "It will take time for us to trust each other." I spoke.Everyone nodded their heads."There will be new rules to follow, break any of these rules and you will face the consequences of your actions.""Betray either of us, there will be consequences."Gabriella stepped forward. "If you disagree with this and you know you won't be able to cope with these changes, please make your way to the parking lot."The guards opened the main door, and about fifty people walked outside."Anyone else?" Gabriella questioned.Everyone looked at each. Some looked

POV - CHIARA MARINO "Hey." I hear from somewhere nearby.I didn't bother to turn around.Luca and I got in a fight. He was upset because I wasn't supporting the decision Gabriella and Giovanni made.I don't know why we fought over something so stupid. The thing about Luca is that he gets pissed over the stupidest things.Other people may say that I should leave him, but I don't want to leave him. Yes I agree that him being short tempered can be overwhelming sometimes but that's why I'm still with him.His other side isn't pleasant but besides that-his very kind, funny and caring when I'm with him.On the outside his cold but in the inside his a whole different person, it may surprise you.I flinched when someone squeezed my shoulder, turning my head. I smiled when it was Gabriella."Oh." I said then looked away and continued to watch the rain."How are you?" Gabriella questioned.How am I?I don't know how to answer that question. A lot has been happening and it's been difficult to p
