Grace's pov

Giovanni was hovering over me as he stared down at me.

“Are you here to watch over me?” I asked. “Don't worry, I won't run away,” I assured him, turning away from him and continuing to swing my legs in the water.

“Mind if I sit with you?” He asked and I nodded. I felt him sit next to me but I didn't give him any acknowledgement.

“Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the others?” I asked.

“I came here for some air,” he answered and I nodded, silence coming between us.

I didn't say anything else, I got lost in my train of thought, and I didn't notice when it was dark.

“You should go inside, it is getting dark,” Giovanni said, breaking through my train of thought.

He stretched his hand out for me and I took it. He pulled me up and I instantly missed the feeling of the water around my legs.

My legs were wrinkled and soft from staying in the water for too long.

As I was rolling my scrub trousers down, Luca appeared in the doorway.

“Giovanni, the package has been compr

  • A Nurse for the Mafia Don    Chapter 57

    Grace's Pov The bartender brought the shots and left but not before brushing fingers with Valentina and winking at her.Valentina blushed and took a shot. Harper handed me a shot and took hers. “Cheers to letting loose,” she said, raising hers.Valentina clinked her glass against ours. “And to forgetting whatever jerk had ever had us down.”I smiled faintly at that, thinking of Silvano, then tilted my glass back and drank it in a go. I lick the lime, squeezing it in my mouth and grimacing at the sting of it all hitting at once.“That is it,” Harper grinned, tossing hers back. “You are officially one of us tonight.” I coughed a little, laughing through it. “That stuff is brutal.” Valentina slid the second shot toward me. “Brutal but freeing. Just one more.I blinked. “Already?”“You need at least two to relax,” she winked.I hesitated but nodded. “Okay. Just one more.” We clinked again and downed the second shot. Warmth buzzed through my chest. The music pulsed harder now, lik

  • A Nurse for the Mafia Don    Chapter 56

    Grace's povMy chest burned with frustration.No. Hurt. Real, raw hurt. I wasn’t expecting a love confession from Silvano. Hell, I didn’t even know what we were. But I also didn’t expect him to throw me into the same category as every woman he has ever slept with. I don't even know how many women they were or his type of women and I didn't even want to know.I wiped my cheek roughly, trying to pull myself together, but the sting of his words echoed in my head. “There is no difference in you all.” He was classifying me with them. And it was cruel and disgusting.I don't even know why I was crying. Pathetic, Grace. You are not a kid who just cries at any emotional stress. “You shouldn't let things get to you. You are not the same as other girls,” I muttered to myself, reassuring myself.I walked down the hallway with no real direction, just needing space. Needing air. I don't need to feel so damn stupid. I found myself outside by the poolside with the night's fresh breeze br

  • A Nurse for the Mafia Don    Chapter 55

    Grace’s povI sat on the bed, staring at the floor like it held all the answers to my emotional confusion.But the truth was my mind wasn't present. It was in what happened earlier in the living room.He kissed me.No, we kissed.Multiple times. And I let him. And I liked it. Every second of it. Every breath-stealing, heart-melting, spine-tingling second.My body reacted to his touch like my body was on fire that needed to be quenched.He affected me as much as I do affect him. But even worse was how much I liked it and how much I wanted more. That realization alone scared me. Because Silvano Morelli wasn’t safe. Not to my heart. Not to my peace. Not to my family.He was chaos dressed in charm, trouble wrapped in a fine face, and mouthwatering body.And yet here I was sitting with tingling lips and flushed skin like some schoolgirl who just got kissed for the first time. This isn't my first kiss but it did look like it. I feel like a high school girl who just got her first ki

    Silvano's PovI didn’t hesitate.I kissed her again softly. Then slower the second time. The third was deeper. Like I was trying to tell her I was sorry.When I finally pulled back, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes dazed, and her lips slightly parted.“That is three,” I whispered. “Am I forgiven now?” I asked her.She didn’t speak immediately, she just looked at me like she was trying to figure me out all over again.“You are trouble, Silvano Morelli,” she finally said.I gave her a half-smile. “You are just figuring that out now?”Before she could respond, Harper walked into the living room and Grace quickly stepped back from me, giving distance between us. She brushed her fingers through her hair like nothing had just happened between us, and she was just having a harmless communication with me. But that wasn't the case. We were making out and she was liking it. Harper looked at me before moving her eyes to Grace who was looking anywhere but me and Harper. And right now, the s

    Grace's pov That did it. Giovanni snorted first. Antonio barked out a laugh. Even Victoria chuckled, her hand covering her mouth. Luca leaned on the wall, openly grinning.I wanted the floor to open and swallow me whole.“I-it slipped,” I muttered.“Clearly,” he said, then turned to the others. “Everyone out. I’ll deal with this.”Deal with what?! The rug? Or me?I gulped. Yup. I was definitely screwed.The laughter died.“You heard me. Out. Now.”They began to shuffle, still trying not to laugh out loud.Giovanni patted my shoulder as he passed. “May the odds be in your favor.”I pray so tooWhen they all left and it was just the two of us, I walked to him slowly.“Listen, Vano, it was just soda—”He stepped closer, eyes dark. “That rug is from Milan.”I blinked and stopped.Milan?“It... still looks fine? I can wash it and it will be as new as before.”“It is silk and expensive.”Oh. Crap.“You are mad,” I whispered.“No,” he said calmly, picking up the soda can and inspecting

    Grace's pov I lay in bed on my back, my legs lifted in the air as I swung them and was drawing imaginary images with my finger in the air. I should have been an artist because it seemed that my imaginary images were turning out well.I would consider that. Maybe later.After some time, I dropped my legs and turned on my back, my face facing up. “You are of no use in the house then,” the word echoed in my head and I groaned.Why can't I forget what he said to me? It was just a statement, right?Yes, it was but it struck something in me. That I was useless. That word hit me, and I took a step back from him, but he didn't notice because he left immediately after he said those words. He called me useless, so I am going to show him one. I took my blanket and headed to the living room. I made popcorn and poured it into a big bowl. I brought out a bottle of water and a can of soda and placed them on the table. There is one thing Vano hates so much and gets to him faster than anything.
