/Gianna’s pov

I didn't want to go downstairs. Not after everything that happened last night. To make things worse, Max had to leave for an important meeting earlier so I was stuck here until he came back to fetch me.

The initial plan was to hide away in my room until Max came back but my stomach didn't agree. My stomach grumbled loudly and by the time I checked the time, I discovered it was way past breakfast.

The only option was to cook so I headed for the kitchen to make something easy but delicious for myself.

I entered the kitchen and was stunned by the magnificence of it. It was even more beautiful than Dante's and a lot bigger.

I moved to the cabinets, ready to explore it when I heard a voice behind me.

“What are you doing here?”

I immediately turned to see a woman I didn't quite know. She was most likely a sibling of Max or maybe Dante's cousin. I wasn't sure which one but she was one of the people that didn't like me.

“I skipped breakfast so I came to make something to eat,”

    Gianna-/I didn't realize I hit her until she staggered back, clutching to her cheek.I stared at my palm in disbelief. I didn't think I had it in me to retaliate or defend myself.“I didn't mean…” I started but she immediately lunged at me.“Did you just hit me? How dare you?!” She growled, hitting me. I took the first slap because I deserved it. I should have just talked back rather than raise my hand on her.But then the second slap came and she claws going to give the third when I caught her hand.“That is enough, Melody. I was wrong to hit you but that doesn't give you enough reason to hit me thrice,” I told her, shoving her back. Her eyes blazed with fury as she stared at me.“You think two slaps is enough to erase the imprint of your filthy hands on me? You have another thing coming,” she said and stormed out of the kitchen.I stood for almost two minutes, trying to process what she just said to me.I cleared up the debts and walked out of the kitchen. I sat there in my room, w

    Gianna-/“Hey.”I opened the door slowly.“May I come in?” He asked.“It's your house,” I muttered, walking away from the door. he entered the room with a tray of something I couldn't quite tell.He set it down on the table and sat on the couch.“I brought you breakfast,” he said.“Okay,” I said simply. Silence followed for a few minutes. “About last night…” he started. “I talked to my mother and sister. They are going to stay out of your way from now on and I hope you can stay out of theirs. We are only staying here for a few days and then we will move to my house so you don't have to deal with anything.”“Okay.”“Okay? That is all you have to say?” He asked.I looked at him. What else would be have me say? He already concluded without hearing from me and now he was talking like he was doing me a favour.“Yes.”He let out a sigh. “Are you mad at me?”I looked at him in disbelief. Was he seriously asking me that after everything that happened?“I don't have anything to say to you,”

    /-Maxmillian-/“Boss, the shipment has been secured,” my right hand man informed me. I took the file from him and scanned through it. I shut the file and glanced at him.“Clean?” “Clean,” he confirmed. “Move it to the warehouse and get it ready for dispatch. Tell the boys to clear up RCee for tonight. Volkov will be there at 10, you all must be in position. I don't trust that son of a bitch,” I instructed. “Yes boss,” he bowed and made to leave but I stopped him. “Wait…” I opened my drawer and took out some big bundles. I tossed it to him and his expression shifted immediately. “You boys did good. Go buy yourselves a drink.” He tried to contain his smile as he bowed. “Appreciated boss.” “Hey, I said drink. I don't want any of you getting high on my shit. We have to be alert tonight. I need you in your right frame of mind!” I stated. “Yes boss."As he walked out of the office, Dante entered. I furrowed my brows at him. What the hell was he doing here and why didn't my secretary

    Gianna’s povI finally finished bandaging my injuries and exhaled. I had to clean up the mess she made because arguing with her would only trigger another set of accusations I wasn't ready to deal with.Just when I thought I could finally rest, a call came to my phone. It was an unknown number. I ignored it at first but the person became very persistent until I got pissed and answered.“Took you long enough,” the voice made me freeze.Dante? What the hell does he want from me now? Didn't Maxmillian ask him to stay the hell away from me?“What do you want?” I asked coldly. He chuckled“Come on, sugar, there is no need to be in a hurry. You see, I just wanted to remind you of some things you seem to have forgotten…”My blood immediately ran cold. I didn't like this at all. Not in the least.I hated the fact that he had one singular mistake over me. A mistake that has ruined my life for years.“I already told you, Dante. I didn't know Max was related to you. If I did, I promise you, I wo

    /-Gianna-/My heart stopped.Max stood in the doorway, his broad frame blocking the doorway as he took in the room.Oh, God! I am screwed. There is no escaping this! Then his gaze locked with mine and I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. Anything to avert this embarrassing moment.His eyes flickered from me to the half-dressed man groaning on the floor, and then back to me. The air in the room grew suffocating.His jaw was tight, his knuckles still clenched from the punch he had just thrown. Every muscle in his body was wound like a predator ready to strike again. He was not just angry, he was furious. Enraged.I swallowed hard. “Max, I…”“Not. A. Word,” he bit out, his voice dangerously low.My mouth snapped shut.The man on the floor groaned and tried to sit up, blood dripping from his nose. “Who the hell…”Max moved so fast I barely saw it happen. Another punch landed, harder this time, sending the man sprawling onto the carpet again.“Shut up.”Max’s tone was pure venom.

    Gianna-/I waited for him to return that night. I didn't know what he was going to do to Adrian or how he was planning to handle it but I was worried.Adrian was a dangerous man. He was always in the news for one mishap or other, yet no one dared to arrest him.He has strong backing of some people in power and from what I heard, crossing him was like signing a ticket to hell.Which was why I was afraid for Max. He was dangerous in his own kind of way, but not enough to face Adrian. That man could kill him and not give a hoot about it.My phone rang and I ran to it, hoping it was Max. Even if he was pissed at me, I just wanted to know that he was okay. I needed him to be okay.I would never forgive myself if something happened to him.The unknown caller ID made me frown. It wasn't Max, of course. I answered the call.“Did you like our little surprise, sweetheart?” Dante's annoying voice sent me to a fit of rage.“How could you set me with a monster?! Even though you have been nothing b

    -Gianna-/The sharp crack of leather against my skin stole the breath from my lungs. A strangled gasp escaped my lips as white-hot pain bloomed across my backside.I clenched my fists against the wall, my nails scraping against the surface as I tried to ground myself. My body trembled, not just from the pain, but there was also this sweet sensation that sent a trail of goosebumps down my skin."Count," he ordered. His voice was dark with a dangerous depth to it.I swallowed hard. "O-one."“Who do you belong to?” The deep possessiveness of my body trembled.“You.”Another lash. I tried not to squirm.“Keep counting.”"Two."Tears burned at the edges of my eyes. I didn't understand why my body was responding this way. I should be in pain, that is what he wanted right? But why did it feel like the exact opposite? Like he was going easy on me."Three."My legs wobbled. I bit down on my lip, trying to hold back the sob threatening to break free."Four."“Will you let that happen again?” th

    /-Gianna-/I was sore. My legs were trembling and I could barely move from the spot where I lay.Maxmillian was nowhere in sight. Not in bed and possibly not in the bathroom. I would have heard the water running if he was.A small wince fell off my lips as I pushed myself off. The TV was on and as tired as I was, the news was the last thing I wanted to see this morning.“... Business mogul, Adrian Fedorov, found dead in his car this morning. While the possible cause of death remain unknown, everything else points to suicide…”My breath caught my throat. Adrian was dead.How was that even possible?I didn't want to think about the possibility of it. That Max could be a killer.But the look in his eyes when he came in last night. I immediately reached for the tv remote and turned it off. I didn't want to think that Max killed someone because of me.This had to be one hell of a coincidence. Just then, the room door opened and Max walked into the room dressed in a loose black shirt and ta

    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

    /-Gianna-/Maxmillan came home with a grim expression lacing on his face and just that was already a turn off. As he walked in, my eyes hovered around his legs as they moved and then to his waist, they stayed firm and calling. I groaned in frustration as these days, I barely get any time with him—he was always chasing ghosts or more deadlier, mostly in the form of his brother.I bit my lips as I pressed my gaze just to his face when our eyes locked unto each other and in that spiraling moment, the world seemed to still and wait for our cue.I didn’t break contact, I held up as the tension reduced and there, I saw something in his body shift. His body was no longer rigid or shoulder tensed like he had come in earlier, they dropped and he softened as every peak of his eyes seemed to lit up like some crying toddler whose mom just gave in to his demand.And the way he stared — it was heaven as it suddenly made the room look magical. His gaze fell and while I tried to meet it, it felt like

    /-Maxmillian-/My phone rang and I was surprised to see Doctor Ellie calling. She was the one in charge of the autopsy on the Matriarch’s corpse.Her call was the very thing I had been waiting for, for days now. This could change everything.If I could prove that the Matriarch didn’t die from a terminal disease, then the Council would be forced to investigate her death. And God help Eric if he was responsible for it. He would see a different side of hell, one he never knew existed.I swiped the answer button.“Good day, Doctor Ellie. Are the autopsy results out?” I asked. Melody, who was seated beside me, turned to look, her eyes narrowing with concern.“Yes, the results are out,” Ellie said, her voice serious but low. “Could you stop by the hospital when you’re chanced? There’s something important I’d like you to see… in person.”I didn’t hesitate. “I’ll be there in ten.”Whatever Declan needed could wait. This was what it had all come down to.“Alright. I’ll be waiting,” she said an

    Chapter 110/-Eric-/“What?!” I gasped. “How could he have been stupid enough to get caught? Did he give names?”I was already on my feet, pacing the floor of my penthouse office. Jasper stood a few feet away, stiff as a soldier, eyes fixed on the floor. He didn’t answer fast enough, and I turned on him.“Well?”He cleared his throat. “No names, sir. But the Zurich server was accessed, just before the wipe was completed. Someone pulled the backup files remotely.”I cursed under my breath and shoved a stack of papers off the desk. They scattered like snow.So that was how they were doing it.Dante and that woman… Piper. I should’ve known she wasn’t just going to disappear quietly. She looked like the kind to break, not bite. I had misjudged her, and now she was back with Dante, sharpening his sword.“They know,” I muttered, more to myself than anyone. “They have enough to trace the money. The foundations. The shell companies. That’s why they’re being so damn quiet.”Jasper flinched at

    /-Piper-/I returned home to find Dante waiting for me. “What happened?” I asked worriedly, hurrying to him. “I talked to Gianna and…”“This isn't about Gianna, Piper! It's about my business! My company. My manager called me this morning, he found the mole. You won't believe who has been behind the downfall of my company!” He gritted. “Maxmillan?” I guessed. “No, if it were Maxmillan, it would have been better but he doesn't have the time to go around scheming how to bring people down. It's fucking Eric North!” I was dumbfounded. Of course the man I was fucking cheating on my husband with was the orchestrator of his downfall. How the hell did I not see that coming?My jaw was literally on the floor. “I am going to have a fucking long talk with that bastard! He will pay for everything he has done to me! I was going him deceiving you slide for a while but it's obvious that he wants war!” I stepped in front of him, blocking his path. “Dante, wait. You can’t just go after him like

    /-Piper-/“So what do we do now?” I asked him. “Do about what?” Dante asked me. “If this is about Eric then forget…”“I am not talking about Eric,” i spat his name in disgust. The bastard's name simply irritated me now. Thinking of it now, I couldn't believe I stooped so low to allow myself to be fooled by him. “I'm talking about Maxmillan. Remember the case with Gianna's parents? He told us to tune ourselves in and we both know we can't do that,” I said and Dante let out a sigh. “Right! I almost forgot about that. A lot of things are just happening at once. It's hard to focus,” he said and I felt a little sad I was one of the reasons for that. “You were right. I should have gotten rid of her when I had the chance now she is back to bite us in the ass.” “I think we should try begging her,” I said and he frowned instantly. “Beg who?” He huffed. “That thing? She should be the one begging me!” “Now is not the time for arrogance, Dante. Don't forget she is Maxmillian's wife. He wil

    /-Piper-/I stared at Dante’s message longer than I should have. The words were harsh, meant to make me cower, but deep down, I knew Dante. I knew that no matter how furious he was, no matter how many mistakes I’d made, he still loved me.The realization hit me like a weight to the chest. Maybe I didn’t deserve it, but I had to go back. I couldn’t let everything I had with him slip away because of my confusion.I wanted to believe that the mess I’d made could still be fixed. I thought that if I apologized, if I explained the pain, the fear I had been running from, Dante would listen. He always did before, right? He would hear me out. He would understand that I was lost, that I didn’t know where to turn.I kept replaying the conversation with Eric in my head. How he had looked at me, his eyes dark with irritation when I mentioned leaving Dante. How he had shrugged me off, his smile never quite reaching his eyes when I spoke of love.Eric wasn’t the answer. I had let him be a distractio
