Dark Paradise Chapter 15
POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO I rubbed my eyes as I entered the kitchen. The smell of fresh croissants caused my mouth to water."Morning." Abelard chirped."Morning." I replied and sat on a stool near the island.Abelard turned around with a plate full of fresh fruits and two croissants, she placed the plate in front of me then a glass full of orange juice. I thanked her before eating."How did you sleep?" She questioned, leaning on the island as she took a sip of tea.I picked up a croissant then bit into it as Abelard waited for me to respond. After chewing I sighed. "Good." I lied.I barely slept last night, even if I tried nothing worked, the only thing I could do was think about him."That's good." She beamed, blowing on her tea before drinking."Oh! Almost forgot."Abelard set her cup on the island before walking out the kitchen, she returned with a small blue box in her hands."This is for you." She said, handing me the box.I narrowed my eyes. "Who is it from?""Not, sure but I

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO 9 years ago"I'm scared." My baby brother Théodore whines as he holds the gun."Seriously Théodore." I tease rolling my eyes."Relax, I'm here aren't I?""Yeah." He sighs.I love Théodore but sometimes he acts like a baby chick that fell out of its nest. "Why do I have to do this? I hate guns.""Well, when I was sixteen I already knew how to work a gun." I knew how to work a gun when I was five. Growing up with my grandparents was tough, especially with nonna, they would wake me up early in the morning to start training then go to school and come back to train again. But since I started at a young age I was familiar with how to balance both.I still remember the first kill. I was six at the time when these two boys bullied me every day, I toldnonna but she said as a female everyone will take granted the power you hold so I should show them what my capabilities are and make sure no man ever walks on me.And I still take her advice to this day.So I killed t

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Giovanni Carson is dead."I don't say a word. I completely froze on the spot. How could he be dead? How is it possible? It doesn't make sense.I completely claimed Giovanni which means he's untouchable. Or maybe..."How?" I simply question. "He was shot by a female named Esmee Badeaux at his sister's funeral. She was last seen with a man that was wounded as well, he goes by the name Antonio Carson. Giovanni's brother" Chiara explains.My mood shifts as I feel my blood boil from anger as a small smirk creeps its way onto my lips. "That little bitch." I whisper to myself. "Where is she?" I ask Chiara. I hear fidgeting in the background, I quietly and patiently wait for her to respond. "Uh, we don't know." She nervously speaks, swallowing her words."Five hours." I simply say that she has five hours to find her location. I drop the call and shift my attention to Theo."Uh-oh, who are we going to kill?" Théodore teased."There is no we." I pointed out, he roll

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTOI tied my hair into a high ponytail and cracked my knuckles."3...""2...""1."Theo and I both sprinted toward the guy and knocked him over. The gun tossed across the room.Theo throws a punch and the Russian assassin yanks Theo off him, his body slams against the rotten wood causing a hole on the floor.Holy shit.The buff guy stood up and his 6'3 figure hovered over my 5'6 frame.He pulled out a pocket knife and tried to slit my neck open but I blocked it with my forearm, I gasped at the pain as warm blood caressed down my arm and stained my clothes and floor.I glared at him and kicked him in the gut, then punched him in the face. I slid on the wooden floor and kicked him in the balls.He groaned in pain and fell to his knees."Theéodore are you alive?" I yelled, "Yeah, fuck. I'm alright but I think he broke my ribs." He mumbled. "Well, get your ass up and help me out."I picked up an old piece of wood and hit the guy in the face, blood splattered all ov

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Don't hurt him," I whisper to myself.Being weak towards someone is so powerful, it will break you just by the thought of them being hurt.Théodore is all I have.I -I love him, I'd do anything to keep my little brother safe.My head facing the ground hung low, my body was numb and painful, head pounding, mouth dry, lips chapped. I'm weak.It's been two days since I was locked up down here, they cleaned my gunshot wound and fed me.I haven't bathed in a day, I feel dirty.I fucking hate being weak. It makes me feel disgusted. I hear footsteps from afar, suddenly coming to an end.Seconds later I hear keys shuffle together creating a crackling bell sound. The person enters the key into the keyhole and they twist it letting it lead to a click sound. They push the door open and I hear footsteps once again heading towards my direction."Wake up." A male voice calls out. "Rise and shine princess." They call out again, hitting my leg with their boot.It's silen

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO Alexei throws me on the bed and I bounce back a little.He hovers over me and starts kissing my neck. His hands roamed quickly, squeezing my breast before trailing his fingers along my collar bone.My body is heated and I feel myself dripping. I bring my hands to his erection, he stopped me before I could touch him"Careful." He warned, biting my lower lip.I rolled my eyes, flipping us over so now I'm taking the lead.I pin his hands above his head and slowly grind on him. Alexei's eyes roll back as his hands are on my waist and force me to fasten my pace.I place both my hands on his chest and start leaving hot sloppy kisses. My hand runs down his chest, I stop, placing my hand on his hard erection.He grunts, nibbling his lower lip. "You know I hate that Gabriella."I chuckle sucking on his collar bone.I start moving against him as I press my lips on his. He pulls my hair and moans in my ear.Alexei stops me, placing both his hands on my hips. He lifts

POV-GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "I don't have all day." Annoyance filled in my voice.I can hear him growl, glaring at me with hatred. He locked his jaw clenching his fist causing his veins to pop out and knuckles to turn white.The room is silent, you could feel the hostility around us,"Where is he, Alexei?" I said to him, "Why would I tell you?" He blinks at me.My sudden realization gives me a renewed burst of confidence. I lock my fist, pulling back my arm, And then fling it forward connecting my fist with the first guy's jaw, he stumbles back hitting his head on the door frame.In a swift move, I grab Alexei, wrapping my right arm around his neck, formulating pressure as I block out his air.My eyes shift to the man that's groaning on the floor. I pull out my gun and pull the trigger, the bullet going through his chest.One of the men pulls the trigger in my direction but I use Alexei as a human shield. Dodging it.Peaking my head through Alexei's left shoulder, I look around to spot
Dark Paradise Chapter 22
POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO Think Gabriella! My mind was all over the place. I could take them but I need to keep my strength, so I'll need a distraction.My eyes wander around the room as I stare at all the dead bodies on the ground. Nipping my bottom lip as a plan was processing in my mind, it might work but I need to be smart about this.I stretched a bit so that my body could feel less pain. I picked Alexei's unconscious body off the ground and slowly dragged him to the door. I pulled his body up and used my body to make sure he balanced on me. Slowly I opened the door to be met with six guards as they seemed to mind their own business.I quickly lifted Alexei and tossed him on the floor, causing a loud thud sound, it caught the men's attention. They all turned their heads to find their boss on the ground.They started to speak in Russian. As they all noticed where it came from. I hid behind the door as I patiently waited for them to enter. When I heard footsteps enter the room I
