Bound by secrets

Gianni's POVI finished paying for the things I bought at the supermarket. The black sedan was still outside so I hurriedly dialed Louis' phone number. Louis is my coursemate, friend, and next-door neighbor, and my love interest.I knew the black sedan wasn't going to hurt me but I still needed someone by my side"Why didn't you pick up on time?" I asked over the phone anxiously"Hey, young lady, I was quite busy you know but anyway what's up?" he complained over the phone, I could hear a female voice in the background."Louis, I need you to come and pick me up right away," I said, my voice filled with urgency.Louis sounded surprised at the urgency in my voice."What's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his tone."I'm being followed by the same sedan and it's parked outside the supermarket right now," I explained, trying to keep my composure, not because I was scared but because my life was falling apart."For real, he was mad to follow a crazy girl" Louis laughed on t

Gianni's POV I arrived at Professor Lisa's home and she was outside to welcome me. "Good evening ma'am," I greeted politely. "Come in, thanks for coming all the way here tonight," we entered the house as she led the way upstairs and I followed behind we got to her room, and she sat down and arranged her makeup. "It's no problem ma, after all, it's work," I flashed a polite smile. "The kids are watching TV in the children's playroom and don't forget the kids are allergic, just prepare dinner and breakfast, in the morning get them ready for school and the driver will take them to school, yes it's just you and the kids at home, their dad isn't at home, I don't know when he will be back and I'm going out now," professor Lisa explained while arranging her makeup. "Do I look good?" She asked and I nodded my head in response with a smile on my face, "I'm leaving now, make sure to use only my room." I followed her downstairs and saw her off to her car before entering her house and

Gianni's POV I sent Arabella to call Louis the moment his car parked in the compound while I continued applying pressure on this man's wound with the help of Luna. "What is taking them long?" I complained to Luna who was cleaning the stranger's blood. "Gianni," Louis opened the door looking disoriented, the moment he saw me, relief washed over his face. "Thank goodness you are alright, I was scared as fuck when Arabella came downstairs," Louis put his hands on his chest before his eyes went to the motionless man on the couch, "Who is he? Did Luna do this?" Louis has always suspected that Luna has it in her to kill someone and I don't know why that was the first thing that came to his mind. "Really?" Luna rolled her eyes, her reaction showed she wanted to hit him but couldn't. "Gianni, who is he and what happened? How did he even get here in the first place?" A concerned Louis asked as he checked if the man was still breathing. "He is one of the godfathers I served the d

Gianni's POV I stood at the front of the dressing mirror in one of the biggest, most luxurious, and most expensive wedding dress boutiques in LA. I looked at the wedding contract in my hands as the madam of the boutique used pins to hold the white veil to my hair. Today I was going to be married to a man I do not love and a man I have never seen. What if he is crippled? What if he is an abuser? What If he is a monster? Tears slid down my eyes as my mind wandered back to the day that brought me to today. ********* "Gianni, are you okay?" Luna asked as I was about to rush to the hospital. "It's Zion, the hospital called," I couldn't explain and rushed out, Luna followed behind till we got to the hospital. When we both arrived at the hospital, I ran to the doctor's office, "What's wrong with Zion?" I cried out. "Miss Gianni, I would appreciate it if you could calm down, Zion's condition worsened overnight and he needs a neurosurgeon right now," the doctor explained. "A neurosurge

Damian's POV I stood in front of the mirror as Landon adjusted my tie, getting me ready for the wedding. I only knew the woman I was getting married to was a golddigger, she was marrying me because of my money, at least she should take care of my children with the money. My mind wandered off to the day I received the news about my wedding. ******** "Damian! Damian!" Mother called out as she ran downstairs in excitement. "I'm here," I managed to say as I sat up on the couch. "I found a wife for you," the color on my face drained. "What? How?" My voice barely whispers. "The kids' nanny, they are very fond of her so it will work and I can vouch for her, she is my best student," mom giggled like a little child. "Does she know about me? What is in it for her?" I couldn't understand why a lady would want to marry someone she didn't love. "Definitely, she will be your wife in return I have to save her family," I burst into laughter. She marrying me for money, what could I expect, a
