Gianni's POVI 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, reaching out
Gianni's POVLandon 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.Damian touched his jaw, he rolled his eyes, and launched his fist at Louis, "
Gianni's POV"You really do what?" Damian asked again, now I could tell he didn't hear anything."Don Damian," Landon stood up straight in front of Damian."What are you doing outside this late? I was looking for you," Damian questioned Landon."I was taking an evening stroll with Mrs Salvatore," Landon responded politely."Mrs Salvatore?" Damian scoffed, "Move me and her things to the room downstairs, Mother instructed it.""I tried to stop Mrs Lisa but she didn't want to listen," Luna placed her hand on my shoulder."It's okay, it's inevitable," I gave her a small smile, "Can you take me to my room?""Sure," Luna wheeled the chair to my room, "Does Landon like you?" Luna stopped the chair at the entrance of my room door."I don't understand what you are saying?" Luna came to my front."I heard him but Damian didn't hear, look I know he is your husband but you have to make him suffer for this few days," Luna changing the topic suddenly surprised me."Huh?" Confusion set in on my mind
Gianni's POVThe sound of my best friend Luna's favorite TV show was playing while I was arranging my things for work when my younger sister Arabella entered the living room with a familiar envelope in her hands.What was Arabella doing with that? I moved past Luna and I rushed to grab the envelope from her hands."Student loan, unpaid hospital bills, what the fuck are all these?" Arabella questioned as she pointed at the envelope.I entered my room to keep the envelope in one of my drawers and locked it, "Gianni I'm talking to you!"I came back to the living room and continued arranging my things, completely ignoring Arabella and her questions."How long do you plan on doing this?" Arabella questioned while Luna increased the TV."Arabella not now, when I get back from work we will talk," I tried to brush her off."It's been 12 years Gianni, 12 fucking years!" Arabella yelled as she stomped her feet on the ground."So what if it's been twelve years? Am I complaining?" I dropped my bag
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
Damian's POVAs I watched my men restrain the captive, I felt a surge of frustration. The man before me is a potential threat to my underground Empire and I knew he was sent by an enemy. I ran both legal and illegal business."Is he still refusing to talk?" I asked my voice tight with tension."Yes, Don," Landon, my most trusted bodyguard replied, his eyes avoiding direct contact with mine. "He keeps insisting he doesn't know anything." My mind raced with possibilities. I had built this empire on a foundation of trust and loyalty, but sometimes, extreme measures were necessary to maintain control. This was one of those times."Landon," I called, my voice carrying a mix of authority and underlying threat.Landon swallowed nervously, understanding the implications of the upcoming conversation. "Yes, Don," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper."Remove his fingers, hit him more to the point of death and he begs to spare his life," I instructed, my tone firm and unwavering. I knew

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 locking the

Instinctively, I stopped in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest.I swiftly removed the headset from my ears, wanting to confirm that what I had heard was indeed gunfire. The sounds intensified, and Fear and adrenaline coursed through my veins.My instincts kicked in, urging me to find a safe place and I quickly scanned my surroundings, searching for any signs of shelter.
