Julian's POV"We're heading to the hospital" I told Russo. "Sure" He communicated it to our driver for the day and then relaxed back on the chair.I had gotten a text from Doctor Ace that the test results were here and that I had to hurry up because it wasn't looking good.No test result from Grisella ever looked good. I should start getting used to it but I just couldn't. My heart was beating hard in my chest.If I had high blood pressure, I would've been dead by now."Are you listening to me?" "Not one bit" I said truthfully to Russo. He chuckled lowly."You're thinking about Grisella again" "I can't help it" I told him truthfully.He nodded. "I was saying that we found out who was messing with our shipment." He handed over the video to me."Of fucking course. They were two" I scoffed, shoving it back in his chest. "Confirm the ID and get back to me"Who then was - urgh! I'm so tired of playing 'find'. I hated mysterious shit.That is why I would be using my fist soon enough."I'
Grisella's POV"I have to meet Uncle first" I said to myself, booking a ride. I didn't want to move with guards."Where are we going today, ma'am?" Cole asked from beside me. He had been assigned to me of late so I had registered his name in my head."If you're not careful, you'd be going to hell with me." I spat at him. Not a nice comeback but I was irritated. He doesn't say anything but just stood closely behind me. This only heightened my anger."I want to go alone, Calvin" I wanted him to get the message and so I called him a wrong name."I can't do that. I'm sorry" He sounded formal. "I don't need no fucking guard. Hell, I just want space. I want to be left alone to sort out my shit. Can't you do that?" I eyed him in pure disgust. He was getting on my every nerve and it wasn't fairMy lips were already trembling as I spoke. My emotions were just too much and it was getting hard to keep them in check. I bit my lips to stop it from trembling before speaking again."Please Cole, I
Julian's POV"I'll get her blood to the lab" Doctor Ace said, locking his suitcase "Thank you. Get back to me if you find anything" I said to him, patting his shoulder."Auntie denied knowing her?" Russo spoke immediately Ace left. I sighed tiredly because I was getting tired of all these already."I asked her to be sure and she reminded me that she didn't lose her memory so I should take her words for it." I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose. "The picture she handed over to me looked a little like Grisella. I'm confused as to Auntie's mental health now""I thought I was the only one that noticed it. The resemblance isn't much but it's there. Slightly" Russo sighed as well. "Maybe she grew too much. Maybe Auntie just can't recognize her child anymore" "We can carry out a DNA" Russo pointed, bringing out a beautiful idea."Perfect! That would work." I smiled at him, patting his shoulder "What if it doesn't match though?" Russo looked at me. I chuckled nervously. "Then it'll
Grisella's POV "What's the occasion?" I smiled, looking up at Julian who patted my hair as his other hand wrapped around my waist."I told you I'd help you. You just had to trust me" He brushed his thumb on my cheek. I drew my eyebrow together at him. He was talking in parables again"What are you? You now speak so much in parables" I shook my head, slapping his chest playfully, pushing him away too."You will get your answers today though. After you can ask me anything" He smiled at me. "What do you meannnn?" I drew out frustratedly. He wasn't making any sense to meI was getting nervous. My heart was beating in an unusual way."You'll understand" He pecked my forehead. "My supplier would be bringing in my drugs. Please tell your men to let them in since we wouldn't be around" I told him. His jaw ticked as his eyes suddenly went dark."Your drugs" He repeated"Uhh...""Who's your supplier?" He asked authoritatively. I jerked slightly at his tone but answered anyway."I... Uncle V
Julian's POV"Should've told me you wanted to go see a movie" I kissed her temple before zipping her dress up"You were barely around so I just had to beg Romeo to dub a movie for me" She chuckled nervously.I didn't want her to be nervous."Baby, it's your house too. You've been here for months if not half a year already. I want you to be free. If you need to go out, just go with guards" I tucked her hair behind her ear. "You're no prisoner, okay?" I brought her face forward, placing a long kissHer cheek turned crimson red as she nodded. "Yes, daddy.""So you couldn't find the flash drive?" I asked, trailing my hand down her hair."I think the maid would've thrown it away. I couldn't even watch the movie" She groaned, throwing her head back. She swayed her hips as she walked out of the room with me following her closely."Wastage of effort" I chuckled, shaking my head. "Would you be fine with Josie?" "She's my girl. I'm always fine with her. I might stop at the bar later to say hi
Grisella's Pov"I'm sorry, Grisella."Breathe"I'm fucking sorry, my love. I'm sorry I couldn't protect because probably I was too ignorant of what was going on. I was a stupid child" He choked out the last part like it pained him to say it.Breathe"I promise I'm going to get to the root of this. And if it's true, I don't judge you. You'd still be my woman, Sel." A light sweet chuckle escaped his lips. All I could make out from this was that he was getting close to my secret. He doesn't judge me? When his family is at fault?"Hell, I'd cut ties off with them if that's your wish. They hurt you and I don't mind hurting them for your sake." His hand squeezed my hand softly. Then came a soft peck on my cheek, making me giggle. Mainly cos I was already half awake and all my senses were active."Should've woken me up if you needed a chat buddy" I groaned playfully.I felt his body tense beside me. "How long have you been awake?" I yawned, covering my mouth. "Just now" I replied lazil
