All Chapters of My Fortune Is Mine!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Giovanni—" I was cut short as a wave of men burst into the restaurant, their presence immediately commanding attention. My breath caught in my throat as I registered the glint of firearms in their hands, all pointed at one target. Giovanni. "What the hell!" I exclaimed, my voice laced with disbelief and fear as panic surged through me. I was suddenly grabbed by one of the men who stopped me from moving, his grip on me so tight, that I felt suffocated. "Get your fucking hands off her," Giovanni says dangerously. The tension in the room thickens as his words carried so much weight. Talia, ever the picture of composure, greeted the chaos with a smirk, her eyes dancing with amusement. "Looks like someone's not too happy to see me," she quipped, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she observed Giovanni's fury with detached amusement. She raised her hand and I was released. I took a deep breath and tried not to slump to the ground. "He's unarmed, why are you doing this?" I yell at her.

"I'm a virgin," I say. As I looked into Giovanni's eyes, I could feel myself starting to shake. This was the secret I had kept with me. Giovanni looked at me with confusion, and I could see that he was struggling to understand. "You've never-" He breaks off.I nod slowly. I could feel my cheeks flushing with embarrassment as I nervously intertwined my fingers in my lap. This was something I had never told anyone before, but as I sat there, facing Giovanni's piercing gaze, I knew I couldn't keep it hidden any longer.Taking a deep breath, I finally uttered the words that had been weighing on my heart for so long. 'I and Zachary never had... sex."The room fell silent as my words hung in the air. I could see the shock and confusion written all over Giovanni's face. It was a reaction, I had braced myself for. That was it, my deep secret, something I had never told anybody was that, I had never slept with Zachary. Zachary for whatever reason, made me sign a prenup at the time of our m

I stand in my office and look at the more or less threatening email. "What could this mean? Did anything happen at the dinner?" Mark asked, biting his fingernails."We should inform Mr D'errico ""No, you will do no such thing, I am the CEO of this company, not him." I say firmly to which he nods.

"What is it?" I ask looking at him in anticipation. "My priority is to keep you safe," he says cupping my face and gently brushing his thumb against my cheek. "What do you mean?" I asked, looking into his eyes unblinkingly. "Before your mother's tragic death, she was guarding something incredibly valuable...the Baltimore gem. "Baltimore gem?" I repeat, my mind reeling. What in God's name was that?!"Yes, It's a cherished family heirloom, a crystal worth a staggering 100 trillion dollars."I gasp silently, my hand flying to my mouth in disbelief. Do we really possess something of that value?"100 trillion dollars!" I murmur, struggling to comprehend it all."Listen, Emily, you inherited that along with his wealth, it wasn't mentioned to you earlier on purpose"I don't say anything to that, not like anybody tells me anything. "So where is this gem?" I ask"I have no idea, only your mother knew its whereabouts""When I shot that man that night, he wasn't completely dead, we took him

By the looks of it, someone must have used a hot iron rod to make the hole. Emily whoever did this, definitely had something against you... or your husband" He adds.I look at him surprisingly. "Oh so the thought hasn't even crossed your mind, that your husband might be involved in this." He says and I scowl at him. "Stop with all this crap about my husband detective, the only reason why I'm even here is because this concerns me, I sure as hell wouldn't want to have anything to do with you". I tell him angrily. I've just about had it with him. "You act tough now, but you didn't act so tough, the last time we met." He scoffs watching my reaction.I freeze as I remembered the last words he told me. "What did you mean by that?" I ask him. He shakes his head" It doesn't matter anyways.""What matters now is that I need to find out who sent you that text message, the one that led you to that abandoned warehouse. It's clear that someone is trying to manipulate you, to lure you into thei
