Chapter Twenty:Gabriele's POV"This had better be good Basilio!" I hissed again as we walked down the corridor."I know how much you want Ariana Fratello, I wouldn't have disturbed you if this wasn't important," he replied.I knew what he was saying was right. But the boner between my legs would take a while to relax, hence my brain too."Who is this mole?" I asked to distract my mind."It's best if you see it for yourself."We reached the lower floors where the dungeon was and he led me to the corner cell.As my eyes fell on the person, my body froze.I was shocked to find who was inside."Gabriele, it's not what you think. Basilio is just looking for ways to throw me out of here!" She screeched so loud, a ringing developed in my ears.Her tears had ruined her makeup so bad she looked like a drenched bimbo."Gabriele listen to me, I will never do anything that will hurt you. You know it! I love you too much to do that!" She added and somehow she had touched a soft spot in my heart.
Chapter Twenty-one:Arianna's POvI paced around my room as I tried to understand what was going on in my head. What have I just done?Yet again my body has betrayed me and it has allowed Gabriele to have a go at me.Worst of it all, was that I enjoyed every single moment of that kiss.I even craved it!"I must be going crazy!" I breathed out as I slapped a hand to my head."I should be thinking of ways to get the hell out of here! I should try and contact my parents..." I paused as a thought flashed into my head."I should be searching for the person who sold me," I whispered.I shouldn't be kissing that devilish criminal!With renewed determination, I headed out of my room. I need to find a way to get into Gabriele's office when he isn't there. That was the only way I could get the information I needed.I didn't have to wait for Sofia. In fact, I wouldn't involve her in this. I needed to do this by myself. The worst Gabriele could do to me was throw me in the dungeon-I was walking
Chapter Twenty-two:Gabriele's POV As I stepped into my office, it looked strange. I couldn't put a finger on it but I could feel something wasn't right.Then my eyes fell on the light bulb and I turned my narrowed eyes to Basilio."How many times do I need to tell you to switch off the lights when you come into my office?"Basilio opened his mouth to speak but then stopped and a frown morphed on his face."You switched it off before you left?" He asked me.I rolled my eyes and walked to my chair. "If I did, would I be asking you about it?" I scoffed.As I sat down, I noticed one of the drawers with my guns was slightly open.Then the feeling I felt when I stepped in returned. Someone has been here and it wasn't Basilio. Basilio wouldn't touch my guns."Someone was here!" I said as I went through the content of the drawers to see what they must have taken.Basilio's frown deepened as he looked through the office."I think whoever came here didn't come for guns," he whispered.I rais
Chapter Twenty-three:Arianna's POv I swallowed the fear that had started crawling on my skin. I shouldn't have played with a man like Gabriele."You are just trying to scare me..." I breathed hoping he would stop coming at me.But his smirk only grew wider as he kept coming at me with slow painfully scary steps.I had never planned to be taken in this manner by a man. Especially not a man who happened to have kidnapped me."This looks like Halloween to you?" He asked me as he got close enough to touch my hair.I had hit the wall and there was nowhere to run. I stared at the ground, refusing to stare into his eyes. This was surely a nightmare. If I ignored him it would go away."Answer!" He hit the wall by my right and I shuddered.I took a deep breath and stared into his eyes. Suddenly, I felt calm. This was a joke."What happens if I don't?" I asked, corking my head to the side.His eyes darkened at my question and I knew I had made a mistake.Before I could make up for my mistake,
Chapter 24: Arianna’s POV“Do you know how dangerous he is? You shouldn’t move around like this. He might just harm you, Arianna. You need to be careful around the master,” Sofia kept saying as she walked me to my room.I didn’t have the strength or willpower to say anything. All I wanted to do was to be left alone to cry myself some more.My life was ruined beyond repair. There was nothing I could do that would give me my life back. “Arianna, if you want to survive here, you need to learn to stay off his radar. You shouldn’t have gone to his office!” Sofia kept reprimanding me even as we got to the room and we both sat on the bed.“But Sofia, I don’t want to survive here,” I said and her mouth dropped open to the ground.“What? What are you even saying?” she asked in shock.I passed a hand over my face and tried to calm my racing brain. “I don’t belong here. I need to get out of here Sofia. I can’t leave like this,” I said letting another teardrop unto my wobbly lips.“You might not
Chapter 25: Gabriele’s POVThe dress she wore was as provocating as her face. Her curves called to me and I felt my groin tighten as I watched her descend the stairs. If she had permitted me to sleep with her already, she wouldn’t have been able to escape tonight.The thought of missing the opportunity to touch her made my hands itch. She was mine, yet being with her was so difficult.“You will sleep in my room tonight,” I blurted out.Yes, I wouldn’t be able to fuck her brains out, but I could at least share some of her body heat.Her face turned pale and I expected her to say something sharp and rude as usual. But surprisingly she smiled and said something unexpected that sent my cock twitching with hope.“If that’s what you want, then consider it done,” she said and picked up her fork to begin eating.Just as she was about to place the morsel of chicken in her mouth, she paused and raised her alluring eyes to mine.“But I am not sleeping with you,” she said in a low polite voice th
Chapter 26: Gabriele’s POVHearing her talk was like medicine to my broken soul. She told me about her grandparents and how much they had impacted her. She told me about her childhood and how she had defended herself against Bullies.I found myself smiling at her stories and wanting to hear even more. It was late in the night before we decided to call it a night and retired to bed.I had never had such a peaceful sleep in a long time. But all of that peace washed away as a sharp disturbing scream woke me up the next morning.“Gabriele, did you hear that?” Arianna whispered beside me.“Stay here,” I ordered as I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.My guards were already repositioning themselves toward the sound and my heart went to my throat as adrenaline pumped faster into my veins.“What’s happening?” I asked them as I got closer. “Where did that noise come from?”Basilio appeared between them and handed me a gun. “It’s from the women’s quarters. We are heading there right now
Chapter 27: Arianna’s POVI ran my hand through my hair for the tenth time as I continued pacing the room. I wanted to go out to know what was happening. My body itched for me to move out of the large room and check what was going on but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.Each time I thought about it, I was reminded of the day I got kidnapped at that party.Gabriele had asked me to stay in his room and wait till he came to get me and that was what I was going to do… until it got much worst.The scream filled the entire house again making me jump out of my skin. This time, the noise was getting closer. It seemed whoever was screaming their lungs out was coming to me.What could be happening?Was the house under attack?I stopped pacing as a light bulb lit up in my head. If Gabriele’s household was under attack, it could serve as a perfect distraction for me to run away.“Yes!” I let out as my adrenaline started building.All I had to do was check the surroundings and decide how dangerou
