GIOVANNA

I thought it was supposed to be a normal event. Why is everything turning against us now?

I hid behind him, my breaths coming out in pants as confusion took over me. I was basically all kinds of emotions now. Confused, scared, worried. Everything. I didn't even know what was going on, but all I needed was clarity.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked, breathing hard. I really needed to understand what was going on.

“Just stay behind me, okay!?” He yelled, trying his best to protect me from the bullets. As if trying to get us out of there.

“Marko, Marko I can't keep up…” I yelled, visibly shaken. My chest couldn't stop drumming and I tried my best to make things work out well, but it didn't seem to matter anymore. Right now, survival is more important.

“Just stay close, and move when I tell you, okay?!” He yelled, making me nod my head in acknowledgement. My chest hammered, my mind racing with thoughts I didn't know what else to do. I felt really confused.

“Oh my goodness!”

  • The Don's Prey    The Cage I Didn't Choose.

    GIOVANNA“What do you mean they are after me? Are you kidding me?” I was beyond livid, and wanted nothing more than tearing his head apart from his body. He wasn't the CEO he claimed to be and I was sure about it. “You better start talking or else!” He interrupted, “Else what?!” his tone was commanding yet he was still very calm. I was shocked, and tried to make sense of the whole thing, but then it was practically impossible. The more I was trying to concentrate, the more things were going south. I didn't even know what else to do.“Else… I'll leave. I'm tired of all this. How can you pin it all on me? When you're the one who screams trouble wherever you go.”When I said that, there was silence, and then he finally turned towards me, his gaze locked with mine. I swallowed, wondering what was going on in his mind, that was before I heard him speak. “You think I'm lying, or I have something to do with this, don't you? But what you fail to understand is that you're the trouble magne

  • The Don's Prey    They Were After You.

    GiovannaI was still trying to catch my breath when he arrived at another location. My eyes widened.“This isn't home, where is he taking me?” I tried to answer the questions that had been ringing in my mind, but it didn't seem to want to be known. “Um, where are we going?” I asked him, but he rolled his eyes. “I asked you to follow me, didn't I?” He asked, and my lips trembled. I wanted to argue with him in the car, but before I could he stepped out without even looking back. I was really worried about whatever was going on, but I hurried down from the car, and walked in quick steps to be able to catch up with him. As soon as he got into the hotel, he moved around, and finally stood before a door. I frowned. We were supposed to be at home, trying to recover from the traumatic event that we had just been through, but here he was trying to sugar quote everything by coming for another meeting, or maybe another event I had no idea what it was. “Are you even okay? What are we doing at

  • The Don's Prey    Smile for the camera, Gattina.

    GIOVANNAThe night air was colder than I expected.Or maybe it was just the man beside me, his presence itself was a menace and I couldn't get the car accident out of my head, as the black Bentley cut through the streets like a panther on the prowl.Marko hadn’t said a word since I got into the car.His cologne was maddening, dark amber, spice, danger. The kind of scent you’d bury your face in if you weren’t so disgusted by the man who wore it.He didn’t even look at me. Just sipped his wine like this was any other damn Friday.Why is he with wine inside of the car?“Do I pass your inspection, husband?” I asked, my voice cutting through with sarcasm.His eyes flicked to me, cool and slow. "You clean up well, Gattina. Try not to claw anyone’s face off tonight. We’re here to smile and save your father.” Exactly. That's the only reason I'm going with him. The cool night air filtered in through the window and soon, we were pulling up at the venue."Smile, but say nothing? Nod, but stay p

  • The Don's Prey    Dressed To Deceive.

    GIOVANNA “What is this? What's the meaning of all these?” I yelled, slamming my hands on his table.Marko was signing some files when his driver's dropped me off at his home without a word after dragging me out of the hospital.“Gattina, keep your voice down in my study.” His voice had an edge to it.One that was telling me not to overstep and to my horror, I was obeying.“This is just a contract. You have no right to act like I'm some kind of property you own. And you also have no right to hurt my friend's.” I yelled, my voice breaking off at the edge as tears streamed down my eyes.The horror filled me up at the thought that my friends could have gotten really hurt.“I asked you to wait. Why did you leave the club with your ‘friends’ A man, nonetheless.” He questioned.I scrunch my face up in confusion.“You're not my husband or my boyfriend. You have no right to act jealous. Hold on, are you jealous?” I asked, squinting my eyes and he slammed his laptop shut..“Jealous? Gattina you

    Episode 9GIOVANNAYour Husband's Estate?Well, I'll be damned because I have to pick a choice that would allow me to sleep well at night and going back to Marko's estate wasn't on the list.I started the car engine and manually inputted my destination as I let the GPS recalculate.From the maps, the nearest hospital was about 35 minutes away, I'll get there in 20 minutes."Ughhh." Olive grunted as she twisted uncomfortably in her seat and I sighed, turning to take a glance at them for a few moments."It's okay. You'll be alright, we'll be at the hospital soon." I wasn't sure if they could hear me but they need all the reassurance they can get right now.The road was freaking lonely and me on any other normal day wouldn't find the balls to drive with two wounded companions but well, it is what it is."Is it just me or the accelerator isn't going fast enough?" I gritted my teeth slamming my hands on the steering wheel as I sped away."I feel lightheaded." Olive managed to form a string
