Marked By Him An Early Surprise
ARYA’S POVI huffed. "I'm terribly off-key.""You're perfect." He reached forward and pinched my cheeks. For a moment I didn’t move and I didn’t miss the way his eyes flashed with an emotion that was gone before I could study what it was. "So," I said, changing the subject before things got too heavy. "Are you going to tell me what you have planned?"He grinned and leaned back, focusing on the road. "Well, first we will have dinner at that Italian place you liked. Then the new romantic comedy you mentioned wanting to see. Then…” He paused dramatically. "Gelato from that place that's open late."My eyes widened. "You planned a whole evening?""I always plan whole evenings with you." He reached over and squeezed my hand. "You're worth planning for, Arya. Worth everything."My throat tightened and the only thing I could manage was, "Marco.""I know you're not ready to hear it yet," he said quickly. "I know you're still figuring things out. But I need you to know that I would do anythi
Marked By Him To love or Not
ARYA’S POV"Turn around! Let me see the whole thing!"I rotated slowly in front of my phone, which was propped up on the dresser, showing Cherry's eager face on the video call."Oh my God, Arya, you look gorgeous!" Cherry squealed from her apartment in Milan. "That dress is perfect. The empire waist hides the bump without looking like you're trying to hide it, and that color makes your skin glow."I looked down at the soft blue dress Marco had bought me last week. At eight months pregnant, finding anything that fit properly was a challenge, but this one actually made me feel pretty instead of just large."You really think so? I feel like a whale.""You're a beautiful, glowing whale then." Cherry grinned. "Where's Marco taking you tonight?"I shrugged. "Dinner and a movie, I think. He's been cryptic about it." I sat on the edge of my bed, one hand automatically going to my stomach. "How's Milan? Still loving it?"Cherry's expression softened. "It's amazing. The club is ten times better

GIOVANNI’S POV"To new partnerships and profitable ventures," Patrick O'Neil raised his glass, his Irish accent thick but I could hear each word. I clinked my glass against his, the crystal ringing clear in the private room. "To mutual benefit and shared success."The contracts were signed; O'Neil's shipping connections in exchange for protection and distribution access. It was a good deal, one that would help fill the gaps still remaining from the attacks months ago.Alessio watched from his position near the window, ever the observant middleman. He vouched for O'Neil's credibility, smoothed over the initial negotiations, and made this alliance possible.O'Neil gathered the signed documents, his men flanking him. "I'm looking forward to seeing what the legendary Giovanni De Santis can do. The stories I've heard about your recovery after the Rivera attacks is impressive.""We adapt or we die in this business," I said simply. "I chose to adapt.""Smart man." O'Neil shook my hand onc
Marked By Him Be Gone
GIOVANNI’S POVI left her room but couldn't shake the image of her lying there looking so small. My hand still felt warm from touching hers.What the hell am I doing?I paced my room for an hour before giving up and heading downstairs. If I couldn't rest, I might as well do something productive.The kitchen was quiet, the servants having retired for the evening. I flipped on the lights and started pulling ingredients from the refrigerator.I was halfway through dicing tomatoes when Enzo appeared in the doorway, watching me closely, a small frown on his face. "Don’t tell me you’re cooking for her?”I rolled my eyes. "Shut up," I muttered, focusing on the cutting board?"First letting her back to her room, now this." He leaned against the doorframe. "You're really working hard to get her to forgive you. huh?"My jaw clenched tightly. "I said shut up, Enzo."But he just snorted. "What's next? Flowers? A heartfelt apology? Maybe a-""Don't you have somewhere else to be?" I snapped, poi
Marked By Him Forced Alliance
GIOVANNI’S POVI stared at the barrel of the gun pointed to my head and I froze, half-sitting, half-standing."Don't," he said, his voice deadly calm. "Don't you dare sit in my house like you're a welcomed guest."Enzo moved and the other guard too but I raised a hand, signaling them to stop."Where the hell is my daughter?" Robert's hand was steady, his finger on the trigger. “I heard from some very reliable source that you’re turning the entire city upside down to find her.”"Sir." Enzo started."I'm not talking to you." Robert's eyes never left mine. "I'm talking to the man who was supposed to protect her. So I'll ask one more time… where is Arya?"This was a mistake. Coming here was a terrible, terrible mistake.But I had already committed and with a gun pointed at my head, I didn't have many options."I don't know," I said honestly, slowly raising my hands to show I wasn't a threat. "That's why I'm here. I'm trying to find her.""Trying to find her?" Robert's laugh was bitter, da

Marked By Him Stay with Me
GIOVANNI’S POVI stared at her, my eyes wide and lips parted in shock and to my genuine shock, she laughed."This is becoming a pattern with us," she said, wiping at the mess with a napkin. "We can't seem to keep food on the table."Despite everything, I felt my mouth twitch toward a smile.Arya cl

ARYA’S POVI pulled the duvet up, acutely aware of every movement. The bed dipped as Giovanni settled beside me, and suddenly the mattress felt much smaller than it had moments ago.We lay there in silence, both staring at the ceiling like it held the answers to questions we didn't know how to ask.

ARYA’S POVHis hands were like iron around my throat and I clawed at them desperately, my nails scraping against his skin."Die, Vitale!" he snarled, but his eyes weren't focused on me. Black spots danced across my vision. My lungs screamed for air that wouldn't come."Giovanni!" I tried to gasp,

GIOVANNI’S POVI closed the bedroom door behind me and leaned against it, pressing my palms flat against the wood.My hands were still shaking and I looked down at them, staring at the fingers that had been wrapped around Arya's throat not twenty minutes ago and felt something crack inside my chest
