Grace's Pov

Giovanni, Antonio, and Silvano were sitting in the living room when I entered. Silvano was reading through a file while Giovanni was telling him something.

Antonio just sat listening to what Giovanni was saying.

Antonio was the first to see me entering the sitting room, “Grace, are you alright?” Antonio asked, immediately he saw me, his voice holding a bit of concern.

Giovanni stopped talking and he and Giovanni looked my way.

“Yes, I am fine.” I nodded, taking the nearest seat on the couch to me. “Just having a pounding headache, but I have used painkillers, it should relieve me any minute from now,” I said, and he nodded, offering me a smile.

“Do you need anything?” Giovanni asked me and I looked his way. I shook my head, offering him a smile.

Was it just in my head, but were Antonio and Giovanni looking at me a certain type of way, and were there concerns in their voices?

I caught Antonio's eyes falling on the shirt I was wearing. Was it because I was in Silvano's

  • A Nurse for the Mafia Don    Chapter 31

    Grace's PovI turned my face to the window, pretending to watch the city blur past, but really, I just didn’t want him to see the sting in my eyes.I wasn't used to being yelled at. Especially by someone other than my Mum. It was usually over something I was supposed to do and it has been years since she did that, not when I have grown. I wasn't used to feeling like this. Especially after I just managed to escape death.How would Mum, Sophie, and Noah take the news? What would become of them? I tried not to think too much about it but he isn't making it easy for me not to. He was angry, I know. But he shouldn't take it out on me. Was he worried? I don't know. But still, the way he barked those words like it wasn’t out of care but out of control.“Grace,” he said after a moment of silence but I didn't turn or answer him.I didn't want to turn because I might say something I couldn't take back or worse, I could cry.He didn't say anything else and the ride to the hospital was a quiet

    Grace's Pov My ears rang like a siren trapped in my skull. I blinked against the smoke, trying to force my eyes to focus to see anything but I couldn't.“Giovanni?” I croaked, coughing as smoke clawed its way down my throat.I pushed myself up on trembling arms, my knees scraping against the rough pavement. My dress was torn at the side and there was a sharp pain slicing across my shin. I couldn't check, I just wanted to find Giovanni.“Giovanni!” I called louder, my voice hoarse from the smoke.I blinked away, trying to see, but everything was a blur. I tried harder this time as the smoke was clearing and then I saw him.He was a few feet ahead of me, sprawled on the ground and he wasn't moving. My heart plummeted.No. No, no, no.I scrambled toward him, ignoring the pain shooting through my legs. I grabbed his shoulders and shook him. “Giovanni! Please—”He groaned before I could complete my sentence.Relief crashed into me so hard I almost collapsed on top of him. His forehead w

    Grace Pov He held my gaze for like 5 seconds before he looked away as if he didn't know me. Wow. Just wow.He is ignoring me too. What was wrong if he acknowledged me and introduced me to his date?I tore my eyes off him and looked at my plate.My dessert was almost finished, so I finished it and pushed the plate away from me. “Should we leave now?” Giovanni asked and I nodded. I would have loved to hang around more and enjoy my night out but my mood was spoiled already.“Okay,” he said and rang the waiter. The waiter gave him the bill and he gave his card. After a few seconds, the waiter came back to give him his card and we both stood up.Giovanni came around me, putting a hand on my back as we both left the restaurant, but not without me stealing a glance at Silvano and his date.We got to the car and Giovanni opened the door for me but I didn't enter, I only dropped my bag inside the car.“Can we go for a walk? Dinner is always perfect with a night stroll,” I said and he tho

    Grace's Pov The car pulled over in front of the restaurant. It looked warm, inviting, like a place that belonged in someone else’s world. Not mine.Because I don't know what mine was anymore.Giovanni opened the car door and offered me a hand. I placed my hand in his and stepped out slowly, my heels clicking on the pavement.The moment we walked in, I felt eyes on us. The hostess approached us and smiled warmly.“Table under reservation named Morelli,” Giovanni said, and the hostess checked the tab with her.“This way,” she said, guiding us toward a table by the window.It was beautiful. Tables by the window are always the best. Giovanni pulled my chair for me to sit before sitting on the chair across from me. There was soft music playing in the background of the restaurant. I was looking around the restaurant, noticing how elegant and exquisite the interior of the restaurant was when Giovanni spoke.“Silvano made the reservation,” he said “but he couldn’t make it.”I didn’t ask wh

    Grace's Pov In the split seconds when his lips brushed against mine, I made my choice. I turned my face, making his lips land on my cheek.Every part of me was screaming something different, my heart, my head, my body. They were telling me to give in. But I couldn't.“No,” I whispered, placing my hand gently but firmly on his chest.Silvano pulled back from me and his eyes opened.“I can't,” I looked him up in the eyes.He didn’t look angry nor did he pull away further. He just looked still as he looked at me.A tense silence fell between us. I was afraid to even blink.Then he slowly stepped back, letting his hand drop from my neck and body.“Alright,” he said, his voice low.He nodded once, like he was grounding himself. “I was out of line. Sorry.”That surprised me more than anything.“I will give you space,” he added before turning away, and walking out of the kitchen, leaving me standing there. Was that it? He wasn't going to ask me why I didn't let him kiss me? He didn't e

    Grace's povWhy would you say that Grace?You are shit scared out of your pants.Oh my. I just wanted to let him know I wasn't intimidated by him so he could take me out of the four corners of this house.I thought of lying to him that I was going to sleep in my room while I snuck out but it wasn't possible because before I got to the gate, I would be caught.I saw the security and it was very tight. “You are not scared of me, you say?” Silvano asked, his lips lifted in a smirk as he stepped closer to me. I took a step backward and he took another one forward.Say no, Grace.“Yes,” I said, taking another step backward. Dammit. Just say no. My subconscious screamed at me but I didn't listen.“I am not scared of you or what you would do. I just want you to take me out,” I continued.I was close to the wall now and he was going back me up against the wall.I turned slightly to avoid being backed against the wall.“Then why are you taking steps backward?” He asked.“Because you are taki
