Gianni's POVWhy was the stranger I saved walking to the altar and Landon was behind him?"Sorry I'm late and don't mind the blood," Damian apologized to the priest before he glared at me.My jaw dropped slightly as my eyes widened in surprise under my veil, the stranger I had saved that night was Professor Lisa's son and I am marrying Landon's boss right now!!"Sure," the priest began to conduct the wedding ceremony."We signed our vows already so there is no need to say it and please do not say kiss your Bride," Damian smiled at the priest and he gulped.I wondered why the priest was so damn quiet listening to every single word Damian said, I could see fear in his eyes and his hands were trembling as he spoke.My eyes landed on the glass table on the altar and from the reflection I could see an assassin on the rooftop aiming its gun at me. Why me? Or was it the priest? Or could it be Damian?I couldn't care less if it was either Damian or me. At least I will be free.The priest condu
Damian's POVI 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, 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 fucking golddigger and I will make her pay.I wanted to refuse, but th
Gianni's POVI got to the parking lot downstairs, there were so many cars, and confusion flooded my mind as I didn't know which car the key belonged to, I just prayed it was something I could drive.I don't know how to drive very well, I don't have a license, damn I'm done for.I pressed the key and a lemon sports car went on. I didn't have the time to admire its beauty, so I rushed into the car and drove straight to Louis Family Hospital.As much as I was worried about Louis, I was also worried about Selena and Francis, they were alone at home but I guess my heart cared about Louis more.I arrived at the hospital and parked the car in a good spot. The car was difficult to drive, maybe because it was a sports car. I had only driven Louis cars, the truck at where I worked, or a motorcycle.I ran upstairs to the VIP ward, Arabella already informed me of Louis' ward number. I felt someone following behind me but anytime I stopped and looked there was no one around, just me and the passerb
Gianni's POVI 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 where we were going 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 where we were going?" I finally summoned the courage to ask despite the strong
Gianni's POVI 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 smiled at hi
Gianni's POVMy 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 wouldn't
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 POVI 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," Violet 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, that mad is dangerous, you shouldn't have done that," Leon 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 calmly and politely."You needed something to wear
