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.”

    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 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

  • A Nurse for the Mafia Don    Chapter 26

    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

    Silvano's PovI exhaled slowly, leaning back in my chair.“If I wanted to kill you, Miss Green,” I said, my voice firm, “I wouldn’t go through the trouble of making you Mac and cheese in the morning when I could be busy working.”Her eyes didn’t leave mine. She still looked unconvinced. She was trying to decide if she should believe me and my words.And I got it. I understood. I wasn't angry at her. After everything she had seen, after everything I had done to her, how could she not be afraid of me?“I know you are scared. And I know what you saw changed the way you look at me. But I am not going to hurt you, Grace.”She dropped her gaze, her fingers fidgeting with the fork beside her plate.“You are not going to hurt me, but you don’t exactly make me feel safe either,” she mumbled.I nodded at what she said. Fair enough.I stood up slowly and grabbed my glass of juice. “You don’t have to eat it. Just don’t go hungry because you are afraid of me hurting you.”She didn’t respond to me
