GIANNA

It’s been two weeks since that disastrous dinner, two weeks since I last saw Enzo. The night ended with sharp words between him and his son. Aria said not to worry, said he was just busy with work, but silence felt heavier than that.

And for Matteo… I’m not even sure where we stand. Aria said he’s not in the right headspace and that he’ll eventually come around, but if I’m being honest, a small part of me has already begun to lose hope.

Aria has been there for me, making sure whatever wounds I felt never cut deep enough to leave scars laced with unforgettable memories.

We’ve become so close in the past few days, sharing late-night conversations over tea and trading quite a few childhood memories we’d never say out loud to anyone.

We have two months and a week left until the wedding, and Enzo still hasn’t said anything about postponing or canceling it. He remains persistent, as if nothing has happened.

    GIANNA It’s been two weeks since that disastrous dinner, two weeks since I last saw Enzo. The night ended with sharp words between him and his son. Aria said not to worry, said he was just busy with work, but silence felt heavier than that. And for Matteo… I’m not even sure where we stand.

    GIANNA I shot up, heart pounding. He was here. Why? My chest tightened. Whatever brought him couldn’t be good, and I wasn’t ready for it. “Go away.” A beat of silence. “If you don’t open the fucking door, I’ll break it down.” His voice hit like a slap, rough and close enough to make the wood tremble. He’d said he was going back to the club after dropping me off. So why the hell was he still here? Drained from the day, I shoved the covers back and forced myself to my feet. Each step to the door felt heavier than the last, but I yanked it open anyway. His frame filled the doorway, shoulders squared, jaw so tight a muscle thickened in his cheek. His eyes cut to me—dark, unblinking, and anything but pleased. “As long as you're staying here, you need to stop acting like a brat.” His voice was low and edged with steel, each word pressed out like it cost him to hold back. “I’m not—” “I’m still speaking.” He cut me off, stepping closer, the air between us becoming suff

    GIANNA’S POV “Get your ass off that seat. Both of you.” His voice was a low growl, fists clenched at his sides. “And Gianna—” his eyes cut to me “—you're in so much trouble.” “What do you mean by ‘I'm in so much trouble’?” “You ignored all 10 of my calls.” I thought it was a random number, so I ignored it.” I raised a brow. “So that unknown call was you? I mean, come on, you can’t seriously blame me for not answering. I don’t have your number saved.” He glowered at me, definitely not liking the tone of my voice. “Get up. You're coming with me.” I was about to put up a fight when he grabbed my right arm, his large palms firmly, and dragged me out of the diner as every pair of eyes followed, not daring to stop him. He pushed me into the passenger seat without a word, the impact making me stumble into the seat. He climbed in right after, the door slamming shut behind him, his scowl now darkened. I clamped my mouth shut, biting my tongue so hard it almost hurt. I didn’t w

    GIANNA’S POV Aria and I hurried out of the kitchen, exchanging a glance as we moved, both needing to see who it was. “Where is my lovely little bride?” The voice echoed through the hallway. “That must be Matteo,” Aria said with a worried look on her face. Hesounded like he was drunk. Immediately, the words came out of my mouth, and I realized I had said it out loud. She turned to look at me with an apologetic smile as she collected my hands in hers. “I’m so sorry your first impression of him has to be like this.” “No problem, Aria. I have no problem.” She smiles and leans in for a hug. “It gets better. It always does. I promise.” “I know.” We got to the hallway to see Zeno and two of Enzo’s bodyguards trying to help a struggling Matteo onto his feet. “Get a hang of yourself, Matteo. Your father is home.” Zeno says. “I don’t give a fuck.” Matteo said in a high-pitched voice. “That’s enough.” Enzo’s voice echoed through the hallway. “I’ve had enough of your

    GIANNA’S POV I trailed after him, my steps slow and uncertain, a quiet unease tightening in my chest. Questions churned inside me. Why does he want to speak to me alone? What could he possibly have to say that couldn’t be said in front of the others? “What about your son?” I asked, my voice low and wary. He didn’t answer. Just kept walking. Without uttering a word, he led me into what I believe to be his at home office. As soon as I stepped into the office, the scent of expensive cologne and cigar mixed together filled the room, giving it a rich and unique scent. His office was large, filled with wooden shelves that contained a lot of books with a large mahogany desk that sits in the center of the room. His desk was occupied with a lot of arranged files and his laptop rested neatly on the polished surface. Moonlight spills across the room casting a soft, steady glow into the room aligning with the light in the office. “Have a seat Gianna,” his words dragged out in a tight,

    GIANNA’S POV The minutes tick by, each second stretching longer than the last as we landed in New York. My fingers twitch at my sides, itching to do something—anything. But I know that any motive I have is pointless. There’s no way out. The guards back home had their eyes on me, sharp and unyielding. They were not just watching me. They were ensuring I didn’t even think about running. My father’s words echo in my mind, a cold reminder of why I’m here. Why do I have to go through with this? “You’ll marry him. You’ll do what’s necessary.” And the unspoken words he didn’t utter but I know too well, “You’ll be a good tool for the growth of my empire.” Mama is the only reason I’m sitting in this car. To find her. To piece together the fragments of her sudden disappearance. Whatever I do, I’ll do it for her. Years of not being able to do anything have driven me to this point, but the weight of this marriage… it’s unbearable. As my thoughts cleared, I glanced out the window, watchin
