Semua Bab Don Raniero's Downfall : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Julian's POV"I got information about Grisella, Boss" Hugo, my private investigator told me, handing out files to me.My eyes travelled down to where she stood with my cousin, Jenna. They looked like they were having a heated argument. It's girl things. I rather not involve myself at all. "Come with me" I led the way to the garden. I don't know if I was ready to hear anything about Grisella because they'd only confirm or change how I thought about her.When we go to the garden, I sent all the guards out. This was a private discussion."She was involved in an accident when she was little, around age 12 and that was how she lost her parents." Hugo said, passing a photo to me. In it were pictures of little Grisella. She looked so much like someone I knew but I just couldn't place my hand on where I had seen her younger version before now."Go on" I nodded at Hugo"She seemed to have some sort of medical record from the hospital but some pages are worn out and messed up so I couldn't g

"Hmmm!""You know you can just yell. Your grunts are beginning to get on my nerves" I snapped at Julian who glared at me in return."You still didn't run, Grisella." Julian said, still grunting at my every slight touch. "You know you can be so annoying. Imagine I had really left you there, you'd be dead by now!" I placed the bandage on his stomach where he got shot. "Unfortunately, I don't die" He said proudly. I wanted to squeeze his mouth. "Fucking right. Maybe I would've just left you there" I hissed, picking up all the bloody cotton wool and tossing it into a nearby bin."But you didn't. You came back even when I told you to leave" He threw his head backwards, looking at the ceiling."I should get going before your -""Julian!" Delilah bolted in, pushing me aside. "What did she do to you?""Mother" He said coldly. Why the sudden attitude?"Ever since this girl came back, you've been getting shot. You never get shot. I mean, you do but it's usually just grazing." Delilah complai

"How could you do this to me!" Hannah yelled, tugging at Julian's shirt.The guards moved forward waiting for some sort of order from Julian but he never gave any as he stood there, letting her tug on his brown neatly ironed shirt. "I am your betrothed. You cannot do this to me." Hannah began to cry. "Mother!""I'll talk to him, Hannah. Like you said, he's playing a prank on us" Vincenzo finally spoke up, holding Hannah up properly. I excused myself because the drama was already too much for me. I mean, I just wanted to see them cry and now that I saw them cry, it wasn't even that interesting. Rachel, however, didn't cry but I could see the agony and pain she had on her face. She was indeed a tough woman. I bet she was doing what I usually did.Don't give your enemies the satisfaction that they broke you. I guess that's what she was doing in there."Hey, trouble!" Russo called out to me before I even got to me."You sound so happy to see me, Dumbo" I smirked at him. "You're wearin

Being a Mafia Fianceé or whatever sucked. You can't even mingle with other staffs because they were all scared that their BOSS could probably blow off their head.I mean, he doesn't even look that scary to me. Or is it just me?I was restricted from visiting the other mansion but Josie was allowed to visit me here whenever she wanted. "Julian." I called out for the umpteenth time."Give me a minute, Vixen" He raised his index finger at me.I've been doing that for close to 30 minutes now. I needed to call his bluff."When do you travel?" I asked because that was my only chance to do a proper search on evidence to the fact that they killed my family for an unjust cause and also evidence to bring them down to the mud. "Pursuing me?" He scoffed, still tapping away on his phone. "Or wait." He raised his head up, giving me his attention. "Do you want to go with me?""No!" I said immediately, taking him aback. "I mean, I'm tired of sharing the same damn space with you and this is the onl

"With all these attitudes you've been putting up lately, I feel skeptical about leaving you alone to yourself" Julian said, glaring at me. Say what?"Noooo! I promise, I'll be good" I smiled, shinning my small teeth at him, widely.Too much, Grisella. Too much"See? That's not good" He shook his head, his hand flying to his button already No, he can't do that.Quickly, I held his hand in an attempt to stop him. "Don't you trust your fi-fianceé?" I forced out the words from my mouth. It felt too heavy to speak out.He scoffed saying "No!" He slapped my hands away, making it fall to my side.I held his hands again. "I promise not to go out without your permission, Julian. Believe me" I pouted. "Grisella, the fact that you want me to believe you this much, makes it more suspicious." He eyed me up and down."I can do anything you want me to do IF it'll convince you to believe me" I regretted that statement the minute I said it but the damage had been done already.As if to rub the regr
