Gianni's POV I returned Damian's sleeve to his closet after dry cleaning it. Damian and I both agreed not to stay in the same room till the marriage comes to an end, we agreed to be married in name and paper only and enjoy the benefits of the marriage while it lasts. I heard a knock on the door gently, "We leave in 10 minutes," Damian said softly. "Sure!" I yelled from the bathroom, I didn't know who were going to see and I was told not to question his movement. I wasn't allowed to wear any of my old clothes because they didn't look like what a boss' wife would wear, my wardrobe was replaced with more elegant clothes. I put on a light pink gown and heels which was the simplest dress I could find which was also extra in my dictionary. "I'm ready," I announced as I got downstairs, without saying anything or glancing at me, Damian stood up and went straight to the car, of course, I followed behind. "I didn't ask anything about the people we were going to meet?" I finally sum
Gianni's POV I waited patiently for hours for Damian's personal assistant to show up at the dress shop, I didn't know her by face or anything, I was tired of waiting so I brought out my phone and dialed Damian's number. "Damian speaking, please who is on the line?" Damian's voice asked from the other side of the phone. "It's Gianni," I replied. "Who is that? How can I help you?" Damian asked I rolled my eyes, what does he mean he doesn't know his wife's name? I wasn't willing to introduce myself to him, if he doesn't know my name so be it, "I'm at the dress shop and your personal assistant isn't here yet." ''Oh your name is Gianni, okay, she will be there soon," Damian said, "Give her the next twenty minutes, she is on an errand right now." Before I could answer, Damian ended the call in my ear. I sat down back on the chair waiting for Damian's personal assistant. "Gianni," I turned when I heard Landon's voice call my name, "what are you doing here?" "I came shopping," I smi
Gianni's POV My scream brought everyone in the house to my room, I didn't know there were this amount of people in the house. "Mrs Salvatore, are you alright?" One of the housekeepers asked, that name seemed foreign to my ears. "Who came into my room?" I threw my dress on the bed. "No one ma'am," one of the security team answered. "What do you mean," I was about to cry out when my eyes caught a scattered hand bead on the floor, "You know what, nevermind, just go back to what you were doing, I'm sorry for disturbing you," I smiled at them, I locked the door as they left the room. Beads? These look like children's beads, I bent down to pick them up and it was the same hand beads Selena was wearing earlier today. Why did she do this? Was she trying to get me killed by her father? I tried to control my emotions but couldn't as the tears came running down, I tried to stop it but couldn't. Damian would be angry if I didn't wear what his personal assistant had chosen and worst off he w
Gianni's POVAs I drew closer, I realized Damian was having a panic attack, he squeezed on his chest tightly and fell on the floor. People gathered around him, everyone seemed confused, "He needs space! He needs to breathe!" Landon yelled as he raised Damian, the other bodyguards cleared the road."What's going on with him?" I rushed to both Damian and Landon."I don't know, help me out," Landon instructed, I was about to place Damian's hands across my shoulder, but he used his hands to push me away from me.Damian held his chest, he squeezed his face as a drop of tears rolled down his eyes, his chest heaving up and down heavily. I wanted to help him as a medical student but he wasn't letting me, I stood in confusion not knowing what to do when Professor Lisa stepped in front of me, blocking Damian from seeing me. Damian was able to calm down, but I couldn't tell if he was calm because his mom was there or because his mom covered his view of seeing me. Damian brushed Landon's should
Gianni's POV I watched Damian leave the hall with his escort, I held Luna on her shoulders, "Why did you do that?" "Are you defending your husband? Can't you see he didn't respect you?" Luna brushed my hands off her shoulder, "We both know the truth about the marriage so there is no need to pretend like you care,"Luna muttered under her breath. "We both know it's not like that," I turned to Louis, "You know him more than I do, you are his cousin but you should have stopped Luna knowing what kind of person he is." "Luna, Gianni has a point, I don't really know much about him but that man is dangerous, you shouldn't have done that," Louis swiped his hands through his hair. "Who is Sheila?" Arabella waited for everyone to finish talking before she asked. "She is just his past," Professor Lisa said from behind, "Gianni, I'm very sorry for what happened, I will make sure you get another respectful dinner." "Why did you give me that dress if you already knew about it?" I asked
Gianni's POV My heart skipped when I saw the save me text from Luna, I dialed her number again and it was switched off this time around. My phone fell from my hands, I picked it up and dialed Louis's number and at the last ring he picked up. "Louis, something isn't right," I said to Louis over the phone. "Yes, what is it?" Louis sounded busy. "Luna, Luna is_" I paused when I saw Luna's call at the top of the screen, "I will talk to you later." "Sure," Louis ended the call and I picked up Luna's video call. "You scared me for crying out loud, I thought_" I paused, she wasn't the one that called, Luna's hands were tied to the ceiling, she was unconscious and her dress was soaked with water and her blood all over her face. I placed my hand over my chest, I tried to ignore the deja Vu, it was the same scene I had witnessed 12 years ago, only it was worse. "Who are you? Why are you doing this!" I yelled over the phone. "Won't you come save her?" A female said from behind the phon
Gianni's POV I came down from the bed slowly so I wouldn't wake Arabella up, "Mummy, Daddy, Zion," I called out to my parents and brother when I couldn't find them in their room. "Baby don't come downstairs, stay in your room and lock the door," my mother yelled from the living room, I didn't listen. "Fuck, I told her to say upstairs," Zion muttered under his breath. As I came down the stairs, I heard strange music being played, such music had never been played in the house. I followed the sound of the music as I enjoyed it and the sound of the music led me to the living room where my family was tied. I saw Mom and Dad tied up with tapes and kneeling on the floor, while Zion was tied to the fan, there was blood everywhere and some men were holding guns to their heads. "Mummy, Daddy, Zion," I ran up to them as fear gripped me, and tried to lose the tape with my Small hands. "Hello little angel," a young man picked me up into his arms and sat on the couch. "Mummy," I cried, reac
Gianni's POV Landon stared at me in disbelief, he had so much to say from the looks he gave me but he couldn't say anything. "Sir, I made sure they took care of the factory," Landon focused his attention on Damian. "Are you dumb? Can't you see I'm talking to my son," Lisa glared at Landon. "I'm sorry ma'am," Landon backed away. "Destroying evidence are we now?" Luna raised her eyebrows questioning Damian, "I will make sure you pay for what you did." Lisa ignored everyone and asked her questions, "Was this how I raised you? Was this what your father taught you about this business?" "I'm sorry," Damian lowered his gaze. "Don't be sorry! Was this the way you treated Sheila?" Damian's head snapped up at Lisa's question. "She is not my Sheila, she is different, Sheila would have never accepted money and properties to be with me but she_" Before Damian could finish talking, Louis launched his fist on Damian's jaw. "I see you like throwing punches," Damian touched his jaw, he rolled
