Oriana
Another perfect night’s sleep. I rolled over to feel a body next to me. I jumped awake and noticed that Gio was still fast asleep next to me. I took a steady breath and laid back down, snuggling against his chest.“Everything alright?” he asked as he gently caressed my back making me sigh.“Everything’s perfect. I have been sleeping in here alone since you left. I needed to be as close to you as I could. Hope you don’t mind, I moved my stuff in yesterday,” I explained.“Sounds good to me.”“Thank you for the card and the note.”“It was your card. I just made sure that account was kept up to date.”“Thank you though, for everything.”“You’re welcome, princess.”I got up and started getting ready for training.“Where are you going dressed like that? Where did you get these clothes”“I have training with Julian this morning and Bianca took me shopping to get some things that I didn’t have.”“Training, with Julian?” he sRelated chapters

“You were promised to me and I to you before we could talk or even born. I just wanted to make sure that I showed you that this is not just a contractual obligation to me. You have captured my heart. After seeing what you have been through, I will do anything within my power to make sure they are brought to justice. I will protect you with all that I am from now until death departs us. Will you become my queen, my wife, my everything?”“Gio, of course I will,” he stood up and slid the ring on my finger before kissing me with such passion I thought I was going to melt into a puddle.“I am proud to call you my equal,” my eyes snapped to his.“What do you mean?”“I knew as soon as I heard you put Ellie in her place and then you appearing to break me out of that cell. You obviously smashed your training with Lileth. Then your marksmanship skills and even with healing ribs, you still managed to hit me.”“I did try not to,” I blushed.“Look at me Oriana. I ne

GioLast nights activities have given me a bigger appetite this morning.“Good morning, master Gio. I believe congratulations are in order,” Lileth hugged me and pecked my cheek,“Thank you, Lileth. I hope we didn’t disturb you last night.”“Not at all,” she giggled. “I’m glad things turned out well for the both of you,” I nod at her as I continue to finish my coffee.“Morning,” Ana sang as she bounced into the kitchen.“Pancakes miss Ana,”“Thank you, Lileth. You are amazing,” Lileth smiled, and Ana was glowing as well.“Sleep well?” I asked“Need you ask?” I chuckled. As soon as Ana finished her breakfast, we headed to the cells in the basement. “Good morning, Ellie. How did you sleep?” This woman seemed so happy to interrogate Ellie, but I was intrigued to see where this was going to go.“Fuck you. You don’t have any proof that I leaked that intel…”“Oh, but I do,” Ana pulled out a laptop from a bag that I hadn’t noticed her

ToniFive days locked in a cell, five days away from my sister. When I find who did this I am going to have their head.“Psst!” I looked up. What the fuck am I seeing. This can’t be right? “Hey bro, you wanna get out of here?”“Well that’s a stupid question don’t you think?”“Well you do look kind of cozy,” she taunted.“How did you get here? Where’s Lileth?” “She’s helping the others. I have come for you and Gio,” this isn’t going to go down well. She’s not even trained. I only got her back less than a week ago, actually, now that I think it, it might be a bit longer than that now. Definitely not trained, not in that short amount of time.‘Click!’ The door of the cell pulled open and there stood in front of me was Lileth, Julian and Ana. She ran to me and hugged me so tight, I thought that I had lost her all over again. I pulled her away and looked her over from head to foot to see if she was hurt.“I’m fine, bro. No new injuries. You need

ToniI sat frozen in shock when all I could hear around me was giggling. There was no one else in the room. “ha, ha,ha,ha,” seriously? What the fuck was going on? It was beginning to become a little more freaky now. My cup moved over two spaces and my breakfast had moved back to the other end of the counter.“What the actual fuck is going on? Show yourself or face the consequences,” I growled.“Aww, don’t be like that, Toni. I didn’t mean anything by it,” Ana said as she came out of hiding.“That was you? No offence sis but, we were only gone 5 days. There’s no way you managed to master that.”“But she did,” Lileth said as she walked from the kitchen with serving platters in her hands.“and a whole lot more,” Julian added. I looked at her in such a way that I didn’t need to ask the question ‘what is he talking about?’“Where do I start?”“From the beginning,” Gio said as he entered the dining room and sat next to me. He seemed to be as much in

Anonymous Watching from my hideout at the foot of the embankment, I could see the car flip over multiple times before bursting into flames. Seeing them race towards the burning car made something crack inside me but I couldn’t stop now. BOOM!The sound of the explosion shook the area.I knew the remains were unidentifiable. It was all part of the plan that I had agreed on. Thankfully, I still had inside help to get through this. In two weeks it will all be over. I hope.I packed up my rifle and headed back to where I am staying, ensuring to police my brass before I left as well as cover my tracks, just like I was taught.If the mission called for it, I would’ve taken them out at the scene of the car accident but, as it is, they are needed alive.I cleaned my rifle and put it in the safe where it belonged until I needed it again before heading to the kitchen to make myself some tea, getting ready to settle in for the night.Gio Sh

ToniSomething just wasn’t sitting right with me and the overwhelming need to find Gio took over me. I ran to his office as fast as I could. Racing the door to the office, I paused to catch my breath before pushing it open.“Gio!” I shouted as I ran to his body curled up on the floor. “Lileth, get the doc in here, now!” I screamed. “Gio, come on. You need to wake up,” I pleaded as I gently shook him by his shoulders. “What’s going o..” Lileth gasped. “Gio! Oh no. Doc, get in here quick,” she ordered.Doc Richard appeared in the doorway and just as fast, he was crouched next to me checking Gio’s pulse.“This don’t look good. His pulse is weak. Lileth, do you have that medicine available. The one you prepared for Alberto when this happened to Maria?” I looked at him in anger and confusion.“He has not lost his mind,” I said angrily.“It’s not that medicine, Toni. It’s to help repair the heart after the shock,” Lileth tried to explain. She left to go

Gio“I mean this in the nicest possible way, because it’s you, what the fuck are you taking about?”“I’m sorry master Gio. After recent events, Ana made us swear that nothing would be said to either of you. You know my loyalty to this family, especially to you and now her. As the plan did not include her faking her death or affecting your health, I feel like an explanation is in order.”“I am all ears.” Toni said.“Let’s get one thing clear now, Toni. When she comes back, she is going to beat you silly. You hurt her feelings which then pushed her to make the decision to take on this mission by herself,” Bianca said angrily.“Will someone please tell me what the fuck is going on? What fucking mission?” I growled. None of this was making any sense and I was slowly getting a headache.“Some of this information maybe new to you so try to keep up. A few doors down, Ellie sits awaiting punishment for ratting you out to Jaime. Ana figured out it was her, I tau

OrianaI was so calm and confident when I agreed for Gio to come to the house but, now he was standing there in front of me, I felt insecure again. What if he hates me for leaving? If I told him, I knew he would’ve tried to stop me. Then there were the letters from Jaime threatening his life if I didn’t willingly go to him. I had to come clean about everything.Picking up the tray of drinks and snacks, I made my way back into the sitting room. Placing the tray on the table, I noticed that the only seat free was next to Gio. I smiled to myself but I couldn’t sit that close to him right now, not until I have said what I had to say.“Here,” I said, passing Toni a cloth soaked in a special medicine. “There’s a lot to get through so please, as always, leave your questions until the end,” everyone nodded except for Gio. “Let me start by apologizing for any hurt and upset I caused. It was not my intention and my plan seemed good at the time,” silence, phew. “Three days
