LOGINGrace's Pov I couldn't bear to listen to her screams and cries. I couldn't bear to see her in pain so Silvano took her with him.Where he was taking her to, I didn't know. She was my friend. Even though she hurt me, she was once my friend and I liked her.All I knew was that Silvano was going to question her and punish her. What the punishment was, I didn't know. I was alone in my room, just staring at the ceiling while thinking of everything to go on. It shouldn't have happened. Nothing was supposed to go wrong. I sighed and went to the bathroom. I ran the bathtub, then I stripped my clothes and got into the bathtub.I relaxed my muscles in the water and stayed like that for a long time. It was when Silvano came back, I left the bathroom to meet him. I wrapped the bathroom rope around myself and left the bathroom.He was sitting at the edge of the bed, his head in his hands. I walked to him and lifted his hands before straddling him. He raised his head and I saw the darkness
Grace's Pov .“Gattina, can it wait? I am in the middle of a meeting.” He asked. “No, it is urgent.” I said and I heard him dismiss the meeting before hearing him walking. “What is it?” He asked. “It is Elisabetta. It has always been her,” I told him. “I don't understand,” he said. “She was the one who planted the notes in our room, she was the one who told the kidnappers where to find me,” I said and immediately another thought dropped to my head and gasped. “Anything wrong, Gattina?” Silvano asked. “She is the cause of Salvatore’s death,” I said and I heard him stop walking. Harper and Valentina had also frozen as they heard him. Beside me, one the bed, Elisabetta held her breath as if scared of what will happen to her. “Where is she?” He asked after a long pause.“In our room. She came while Harper, Valentina and I were talking.” I told him. “I will be right there. Don't allow her to go anywhere “ he said and I nodded before ending the call. I dropped the phone and the
Grace's Pov Sleepless nights, loneliness, a cold bed.It was all I experienced during the days Silvano was out of town. I know I haven't given him the best treatment yet but not being here was worse. Luca and Harper are really trying their best. Harper slept with me one time. I couldn't sleep at night and woke up from my nightmare. Luca makes sure I wasn't idle, he makes silly jokes to make me smile, and he even orders takeout for us. They tried to cheer me up and to make me recover fast. Adrian and Elisabetta also came around frequently to see me and check up on me. For some reason, Elisa has been distant. Aside from the time I heard her say sorry, we haven't really spoken. She comes with Adrian and leaves almost immediately after him. The time Silvano called her to come and stay with me while he went out, she tried talking to me, but I wasn't having it. “Do you want to order ice cream, I am having a cake,” Luca said, walking by my side as I walked to the kitchen. “Yes, pl
Grace's Pov When we touched down in Italy and got back to the house, the men came to take Silvano away for some work while I was with Harper and val. They couldn't even allow us to enjoy our time at home.Valentina and Harper were both in my room. They were sitting next to each other facing me.I sat still looking from Harper to Val, then back to Harper as they both sat in front of me, expecting me to talk. “Will you tell us or not?” Valentina asked.“It was our ticket after all,” Harper included. I did respond to them. I was just looking at them slowly watching the frustrating build up in them.“You are helpless,” Harper said and stood up from the bed to leave. “We did it,” I said with a straight face. Harper turned and jumped back on the bed.“You finally had sex?” Harper asked and I nodded. “Finally,” Valentina said. “I was beginning to think it would never happen.”“How was it?” Harper asked, with a mischievous glint in her face. “Hmmm. It wasn't bad,” I answered.“Was it p
Grace's Pov A wave of relief washed over me, so intense it almost made me dizzy. I felt the waterworks threatening to start again, but I fought them off, the tearful smile from before finally breaking into a genuine, beaming one.“Thank you, Mum.”“Take care of yourself, and come home soon. And tell Silvano to expect a very long, very serious talk from your mother about taking care of her daughter,” she finished with a playful sternness that made me giggle.We said our goodbyes, and I ended the call, my chest swelling with happiness. The sun was just beginning to rise over the city, casting a warm, golden glow across the balcony. I felt Silvano's presence behind me as he wrapped his hands around my waist. I leaned my back to his front as he rocked me. “You handled it well,” he said.“You heard all that?” I asked. “Just the part of you telling her how much you love me,” he said, kissing my hair. “I think she is still worried,” I said and he turned me around to face him.“I would be
Grace's Pov The vacation passed by in a blur. I couldn't even remember what we did. After I told Silvano I loved him, he literally froze and when he unfroze, he was so happy that he started kissing me and went on another round with me. It was not the type of confession I thought would happen between us but I wouldn't have wanted it different. Yes, I love him. I love him more than I could love anybody who isn't my family. But he is. He is my home. My family. At dinner that night, Silvano planned a very sweet and intimate dinner for us and the room top of the biggest restaurant in LA which has the best view of the city. And he dropped on one knee, with a full blown confession, a ring stretched out before blame to accept and his face etched in worry. I had wanted to tease him but I would be punishing myself also but I screamed yes I think the whole of LA heard and accepted the ring. Things haven't been completed the same since then.Silvano hasn't let me rest. Every little oppor
Grace's povHe didn't waste any minute, he slowly began unbuttoning his shirt, his gaze never leaving mine.Heat crept up my neck, but I didn’t look away from him. He then put his hands into his shorts to pull them down, and I took my eyes off him and stared at the bubble on me. I heard him chuckle
Grace's povI didn't know he had a sister. Carmela. The name sounded beautiful. She must be beautiful. “I didn't know you had a sister. Have you been hiding her?” I asked. “You didn't know because she died 3 years after she was born,” he said, his voice hollow. My heart dropped. “Oh my God. Silva
Grace's povLater that night, after dinner was done and I had cleared the dishes, I made my way back to my room. Silvano didn't come to have dinner with the others. Antonio said he had work to do so he skipped dinner. I took his dinner in a tray and took it with me to the room.I pushed open the d
Grace's Pov That was surprising. He said Thank you.He didn't just say it to me or any of his close gang, he said it to Elisa. A nurse in his house. Something is not adding up. It is either that it isn't Silvano sitting in front of me right now or there is a spell casted upon him. Because Silvano
