/-Gianna-/

It might have been a selfish request on my part but I was sick of it.

All that has happened since I came back to him is war and trouble. I was sick of all of it.

I needed a goddamn break!

A part of me was scared of his response. The mafia was his life. It wasn't something he could just give up simply because I asked and that was terrifying because I couldn't afford to lose him.

I needed him. My baby needed him. But if things keep going this way, we might end up losing our lives before we even had the chance to enjoy our love.

“Gianna…” Maxmillian's voice trembled. “Do you know what you are asking me?”

Yes, I did. I wouldn't have if I wasn't sure.

“Being with you isn't safe, Max. No matter how much you try to protect us, one enemy will eventually outsmart you. I can't take that risk. That is why I am asking…” I scooted closer to him and took his hand. “For the sake of our child and happiness, can you leave this life behind? Go legitimate or something…”

    /-Maxmillian-/It was empty. I had my men bring back some of the boys for questioning. I suspected Eric. He was the only one who was crazy enough to pull such a stunt right after I exposed him to the council.If he thought attacking Gianna was the ultimate move then he had another thing coming. If any of those boys by chance confirmed he was the one who attacked my wife and sister, then I was going to give him a slow painful death. I returned to the mansion to meet with Gianna and Melody. They both looked scared and traumatised and it hurt my heart to see them like this. “Are you two okay?” I asked, walking towards them. Melody ran into my arms. “I knew you would come for us but I… I was so scared. I thought we were going to die before you showed up,” she sobbed. I stroked her hair gently. “You know I would never let any harm come to you, Melody. You are my sister. I will do everything in me to always protect you,” I assured her. Gianna suddenly walked upstairs without saying a

    /-Gianna-/The silence after the chaos was deafening.I could still hear the echo of the gunshot that ricocheted off the pipe, still feel the cold grip of fear that had lived in my chest for what felt like hours. But now… now I was in Maxmillan’s arms, and for the first time since the abduction, my heart began to beat in rhythm again.His scent, the familiar blend of leather and spice, wrapped around me like a shield. I didn’t want to let go. I didn’t even care that my hands were still shaking or that I had blood on my cheek that wasn’t mine.“Let’s get you out of here,” he murmured, already working to cut the ropes binding me. His fingers were gentle but fast, the dagger slick with blood as he sliced through the coarse restraints.“Wait,” I whispered, suddenly realising the one thing I have been missing. “Melody… where’s Melody?”Max stiffened. “She’s not here?”“No.” I grabbed his wrist, my voice rising. “They took us together. She was here… right beside me!”How could she have sudd

    /-Maxmillan-/I’ve never known rage like this.Not even when my father was gunned down in front of me.But now, hearing Gianna’s voice trembling on that call, knowing our unborn child was in danger, this fury was different. It was personal. It was primal.I gripped the edge of my desk so hard the wood cracked beneath my fingers.“Get me Dario,” I growled at my right-hand man, who stood by the door with a pale face.“He’s already downstairs,” he replied. “He got the message when we traced the call. We were able to get a partial ping, industrial district, somewhere near the river docks.”Good. That was enough. That was a start.I stormed downstairs, every step fueled by vengeance. Dario stood by the map table, his sleeves rolled up, his tie long discarded. His expression was grim.“They’re using an unregistered burner. No direct trace. But based on the cell tower it bounced off of, we’ve narrowed it to a five-block radius by the old mill warehouses. Problem is, most of them are abandone

    Gianna-/That miscarriage wasn't natural. I could feel it in my guts. There was something I was missing, something I was failing to see.But I was glad my baby was safe. What would I have done if anything happened to it?I wasn't even sure Maxmillan would forgive me. He looked so stressed when he saw me and for a second, I was almost afraid I lost the baby but thank God I didn't.I was supposed to be discharged this evening and Melody was doing her best to look after me because Maxmillan got an urgent call.“How are you feeling now? Are there still pains in your abdomen?” She asked and I shook my head.“That's good. It means you will recover sooner than expected. I am so glad you are okay, Gianna. I was so scared that something would have happened to you. Do you know how terrifying that would be?” She exclaimed sitting on my bed.There was just something about her tone that sounded a little insincere to me. It was probably from the fact that we never got along until yesterday where sh

    Eric-/Everyone was just getting on my damn nerves. Not only were they fucking cowards who couldn't stand up to Maxmillian, they were assholes who couldn't even speak for themselves.They were hiding behind the results that the old Matriach was poisoned.So what if she fucking was? They didn't even like her. They wanted her gone as much as I did so why the fuck were they pretending like I didn't save them a whole lot of trouble?“This is a serious accusation, Eric. The proof is here. The doctor reports, everything! The Matriach was poisoned and the drugs were traced back to your company. What do you have to say for yourself?”Staring at this jury of hypocrites made me sick. Who the fuck did they think they were?I scoffed, leaning back in my chair like their judgment meant jack shit to me. “What do I have to say?” I repeated, my voice cold and sharp as a blade. “I have to say you’re all full of it.”A murmur rippled through the room. A few had the decency to look guilty. The rest? The

    Melody-/Maxmillian rushed Gianna to the hospital with me in the car. It was a struggle to keep my smirk hidden. I wasn't bothered about getting caught because the poison I used was completely undetectable. No matter what kind of tests the doctors ran, they would never know what caused it.Which meant they would only say it was stress and all that nonsense they usually said to assure their patients.Maxmillian and I were waiting in the lobby and I could see the way he paraded the place. I felt a little bad seeing him so worried but there was nothing I could do about it.I tried to tell him countless times that Gianna was not good for him. My mother died trying to prove that to him and I wasn't going to let it go to waste like that.Even if it was the last thing I did, I would make sure that Maxmillian doesn't end up with that golddigger.“You need to calm down, Max. You are going to develop high blood pressure if you continue like this,” I said bit my words seemed to fall on deaf ea

    Melody-/She must be a big fool to think that I actually wanted peace. It was all my idea to play nice inorder for my plan to work.And it was quite simple.Poison Gianna. Make her lose that stupid baby she was using to tie Max down.As I assisted with the basic things for cooking, I searched desperately for an opportunity for her to leave but she wouldn't leave. She was right there till she finished cooking.Even Max joined us.I knew then that I had only one shot left. Serve the food. Which was why I insisted on serving the food. Just so that she could leave.I returned to the kitchen and opened the top cabinet slowly, careful not to make noise. Hidden behind the neatly stacked bowls was a small vial I had tucked away days ago. It wasn’t lethal, no, that would be too obvious. Just strong enough to cause cramping, pain, and hopefully a miscarriage.I poured a few drops into one of the plates while my hand trembled slightly, not from guilt, but from adrenaline. Timing was everything.

    /-Gianna-/I went to the kitchen to make something for him to eat. I was certain that he hadn't eaten all day.As I prepped the ingredients to cook, Melody walked into the kitchen. I groaned inwardly. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with her tantrums.“Need help?” She asked suddenly, surprising me. I blinked. I didn't expect her to ask that question out of the blue.“Why?” I blurted.“Do you need help or not?” She frowned. I nodded because I did help. I could manage on my own but an extra hand would make things faster for me.“Good! Then I'll help you!” She said.I was too stunned to speak. There has to be something wrong. Melody didn't like me for any reason. I thought with her mother's death, she might have changed especially since Maxmillian was housing her now but she proved to be nothing but a snake.Acting harmless in his face and turned to a jar of spikes when he was gone. So this… this was indeed shocking.“What do you need help with?” She asked but I couldn't even answer
