GEMMA
"Gemma, the boss wants to see you," Manager Stacy said.
A puzzled expression wiped across my face. "Why?"
A huge man came in behind her.
"I see you're changed already and about to go home but you can't do that now. The boss wants to see you" Manager Stacy said.
"We've been in this shit longer than you and the boss has never called any of us privately to dance for him. You just danced for the first time tonight and suddenly he wants you dancing for him privately. You've sucked your way to the top" Aria said with disdain in her voice.
"I didn't do anything," I retorted.
"You'll have to wait outside, let's get her dressed up" Manager Stacy said to the huge man.
He left the room. Manager Stacy went over to where Luna was and fetched a dress. She handed me a nude exposing dress which I wore and shoved me onto a chair. She asked Luna to make me up. In fifteen minutes, Luna did her magic and I looked beautiful, sexier and older.
"Don't feel special, the boss just likes your pretty face, nothing else" Elena said and Aria laughed.
The both of them walked out of the dressing room.
"Don't listen to them. This is another chance to make more money tonight, just do your best. The boss is filthy rich" Luna said and I subconsciously nodded.
I felt so anxious on meeting the boss. I've heard stories on how cold and ruthless he's. I just hope I won't mess up my performance.
"She's ready, Luca" Manager Stacy called out and opened the door to the dressing room.
The huge man stepped in again, squinted eyes roving around until he met my terrified eyes.
"Good, follow me" he said nonchalantly. The order was loud and clear. My heart began palpitating, wanting to break out of its rib cages and my hands become sweaty. I picked up my bag containing the money I made tonight. I wouldn't want anyone tampering with my money.
Luna gave me a reassuring smile as I stepped out of the room with him. She's my only real friend in this club.
The man led me down a hallway and stopped in front of a room.
"Go in," he instructed.
I pushed open the door and went in after knocking slightly. I closed the door after I went in. The interior was breathtaking and was extremely furnished.
Right there, seated on a black coloured sofa was a tall frame of a man whose one hand was strapped around the waist of a red haired lady who held a cigarette, puffing the smoke out of her parted lips.
My breathing got caught in my throat the moment our eyes locked. He was the same man that stared at me on the stage. Seeing him now at a closer range, I had a better view of his face. He had the body of a Greek god.
I didn't expect the boss to be so young and very handsome. I could see his muscles from the expensive suit he wore. His black, silky hair was let to fall free, its locks dangling dangerously over his shoulders.
His jawline was sharp and his cheekbones were pointed. His lips were full and pink and those cold ocean eyes stared intently at me, making me feel very vulnerable.
"Leave us" he ordered the red haired girl who kept on puffing smoke in the air. His tone was dark and commanding.
Her face morphed into a frown and she glared at me but she didn't dare to object to his orders. She stood up and with inaudible grumbles, walked out of the room.
He kept on staring at me intently after she left and I looked down nervously.
"I heard you're Gemma" his deep baritone voice boomed in the room after a moment of tortured silence.
"Y..yes sir" I stuttered.
"You did so well tonight. You have a great body too and you're pretty" he complimented. I looked away as I didn't know what to say.
Was I supposed to say thank you in this situation?
"What….what do you want from me Sir?" I asked, summoning up courage.
"Strip yourself naked" he ordered.
"What?" I was alarmed at what he just said.
"I'm sorry but I can't do that" I replied with a shaky voice.
"No one has ever said no to me and right now, you're going to do anything I say. Now, strip yourself" he barked and I jumped up in fear. My whole body trembled with fear. I dropped my bag on a couch beside me.
I hurriedly stripped myself naked as it took every restraint in me not to cry.
I was stark naked in front of him. From where he sat, his eyes fed hungrily on my body. He made no move to touch me though.
I felt humiliated, disgusted, embarrassed as his eyes roamed over my body. He nodded his head with a satisfactory smile on his face.
"Good, now come here," he said, asking me to come closer. I clumsily walked over to him.
"Sit on my laps" he commanded and I stood there in awe.
Wasn't asking me to go naked enough for him?
"Now! Grind me!" He barked and I shamelessly did as I was told. A tear dropped down my cheek.
I closed my eyes and began moving my ass, waist and hips on his aroused and bulging manhood. With every move I took, he moaned deeply. He didn't touch me, his hands were kept behind the sofa.
"Harder" he groaned and I added more effort to what I was doing. I moved my ass up and down his manhood and he kept groaning loudly. I felt embarrassed with what I was doing. I felt like a slut.
Just then, his phone rang. He didn't pick it up. The phone rang again the second and third time. It seems like the person who was calling needed something urgently.
"What is it?" He barked into the phone when he finally answered the call.
Whatever the person told him on the other end of the phone must have been so serious as he pushed me forcefully away from him and stood up almost immediately. He walked out of the room hurriedly, not minding his obvious arousal, leaving only me in there.
I took the opportunity to escape and hurriedly dress up. I ran out of the room, down the hallway and out of the club. It was then I remembered I wasn't with my bag of money, the money I've worked shamelessly for tonight.
I'm never letting this money slip off my hands like that. I turned and ran back to the room I just came out from.
~GEMMA’S POV~ We got to the prison and they locked both Gabriella and I in a cell room and told us we'll be awaiting trial.We were asked if we wanted to contact our lawyers and we said yes. Margaret's lawyer is going to stand as Gabriella's lawyer.I looked around me and sighed heavily!I think I've gotten used to being locked up in a cell. I was starting to be their regular customer.But now, how do I cope with a baby in my womb in this cell?I'm glad that Nanny Emilia is there to take care of Isabella. They must be so worried about me.**** Gabriella and I didn't speak to each other for three days in the cell. I was still very angry at her and so I ignored her even though she tried to show me care when my early pregnancy symptoms started.I asked for a bowl and threw up in the cell room.“Are you pregnant, Gemma?” She finally asked.I didn't reply to her and looked away.She stood up from where she had been sitting and came to sit beside me.“G
~GEMMA’S POV~ I was coming back from the shopping mall and was driving home in my car. I was almost home when suddenly a car blocked my path and stopped.I quickly pressed the brakes to prevent bumping into the car.Who could it be? Who will be after my life now? I know I have so many enemies but I've resigned from being the “Pink Butterfly”I told the crime family and mafia group that I was no longer interested in working with them. It's war as they didn't want me to quit but they finally accepted.And I've asked Mateo and Marco to go their own ways, so now I have no guards protecting me.I saw the door of the other car opening and the driver stepped out. It was Gabriella.What's she doing here? And why is she blocking my path?She walked to where I was sitting and knocked on the door.I wind the glass down.“What is it?” I asked.“Come down, we need to talk” Gabriella said harshly.“Okay” I replied and opened the door and stepped out of the car.Immedia
“What did you just say?” Gabriella asked when she's finally able to speak. She's speaking in a low voice.“You heard me right,” Ivan replied. He's whispering.“What do you mean by that? How could you ask me to do such a thing? You want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?” Gabriella asked.“That's the only way I can get out of this. I told you my greatest fear is rotting away in prison and it's about to come to pass now”“I don't want it. And I don't want to tell my dad and implicate him. He's the leader of a Russian Mafia group and would be apprehended and arrested by the police”“And I know my father, he would never go down without a fight. He'll rather die than allow himself to get arrested and I'm not sure if I would be getting out of here anytime soon. One of us must live, one of us must be alive and since I'm already locked up here, I have no choice but to do it” Ivan explained.“Still, you shouldn't have asked me to bring poison for you so you can kill yourse
~GEMMA’S POV~ I woke up and saw that I was lying on a bed in the hospital. I looked around me, no one was with me in my corner.Apart from the other patients in their own beds, no one was beside me and the sudden realization hit me.I was finally alone! Luca is dead. Antonio is dead too.If they were still alive, I would have woken up to either one of them sitting beside me and waiting for me to wake up.I started crying again. Luca's death pained me more.“I'll miss you so much, Luca, so much” I cried out.The doctor walked into the room and approached me.“You're awake, Mrs Gemma” he said.“Where is Luca?” I asked.“The man that died in front of the prison gate? His body is at the mortuary now” the doctor replied.My sobs increased and I began hitting hard on my chest.The doctor held my hands to stop me from causing more harm to myself.“You'll harm yourself and the baby” he told me.My eyes fluttered open in shock and surprise.“Baby? What baby?”
~GEMMA~ It was the fourth day when I was finally released from the prison with the help of Antonio's lawyer and my statement.I told them everything that happened, how Ivan kidnapped me, lured Antonio to come alone, killed Antonio and ran off when he saw the police coming.The police released me when they saw that I was saying the truth and went in search of Ivan but he's nowhere to be found.Antonio was already buried as Luca followed my instructions. Even though I missed his burial, I was glad he's finally buried and would be resting in peace now.I didn't know if I was going to take revenge on Ivan for killing Antonio. I'm tired, and I just want everything to end, no more deaths.Luca was with me in the prison with the lawyer. They're going to escort me out. There's a massive crowd waiting out of the prison walls to interview me.News of Antonio's death and my release has spread out wide and that explains the massive crowd.I'm glad Luca
~GEMMA~“Don't move. You're under arrest” the police officer repeated.They came close to me and picked the gun I was holding with a cloth.The other officers inspected Antonio and investigated the cause of his death after they confirmed he's really dead.“He was shot” one of them said and looked around the environment for more evidence.“Someone called us here,” another said.If it wasn't Antonio that called the police, then who did??“You're the only one and we caught you holding a gun. You killed him right, Mrs Romano?” A police officer asked.I remained mute and stared at them without an answer. They exchanged confused looks between themselves.One went and picked the ropes up.“There's more to this. We need to investigate this well. But for now, you're our prime suspect and the culprit to the murder of Antonio Romano” he said.“Take her away,” their leader commanded.It was then I began screaming.“I didn't kill him. How can I kill my own husband? I didn't kill him! I'm innocent”
