You Can Run But... Space for three?
Under the sheets, which were over her head, she was working to get the pain out with a little bit of sleep, for she was tired of crying, which she had been doing since they left, and now it was past evening.She didn't know if he was back, and she didn't think she cared; she knew she was selfish, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Jane's grandparents weren't the real deal. And why did Jane not know anything about them?"Gianna, you want to go drink it out." She turned to Amara, who was dressed in a shimmering short dress, her elbow placed against the opened door, her dark hair packed in a ponytail; she wasn't in the club already, but she was looking drunk."Amara, please don't come home drunk," she said out loud before realizing she had called it "home." "If you do, get a taxi or call, alright.""I think that's exactly what we both need—Jane's gone, and Damon's acting like an asshole," she blinked, pushing the tears back in, "not like I feel it, he can go to hell for all I care;
You Can Run But... Interruption
"Miss Venditti, please focus."Her eyes snapped back to Ms. Blanchet, who held a look of silent frustration on her poker face; as far as Gia could tell, she had never smiled or even frowned, but her tone held her emotions.To be sincere, Gia was a little terrified of her, especially since she had made it a habit to be distracted from her class to stare at Jane, who was red-faced and practicing the pirouettes Ms. Blanchet had ordered.She was never alone climbing up the stairs to the studio; she always had Jane next to her, excited and still complaining about how harsh Ms. Blanchet was, and though it had been just a week, with them beginning lessons the day after Jane came back, Jane had wowed her and perfected the art.Ms. Blanchet was saying, "Your Italian fouetté has gotten rusty; we're going to perfect it before I let you off."Let her off to Paris, two weeks away from now."Hips up, Miss Venditti."And she did, making the difficult turn and feeling the stress on her bones and musc
You Can Run But... Dim Decisions
Heart racing and blood running cold, Gia looked up to see Zayne, who had Jane on his shoulder, beginning to walk towards her, and immediately she typed the number out on her phone and quickly threw the napkin in the water.She tried to regain her composure before they reached her, her phone beside her again, glasses over her eyes, so they didn't see the tension that lay underneath.He and Jane were in the middle of a very heated argument."I didn't mean it when I said yes.""But you said yes.""With a frown on my face, I'll tell Gia to whoop your ass, and you'll be sorry.""Language Jane"And she grumbled. He dropped her on the floor, standing on her flip-flops, then he bent down and took Gia's lips, flowing gently, trying to get her in his mood.But then he pulled back, his brows knit, and asked, "Are you okay?"She forced a smile on her lips and nodded, "I've just been here for too long; I think I'm ready to go back to the manor now."His brows furrowed, and she swallowed, feeling g

He had five men in the car, more than enough for what the job entailed, and though he had believed everything Gia said over the phone, he knew he still had to be on the safe side, so he had three other vans behind him, undercover.Axel could hear her muffling in the booth, Contessa Venditti; oh, how he hated her; she was the only one who had seen through him throughout his years living in their house as Venditti's son.She had noticed his overprotective attitude toward Gia, and when she tried to pull her sister away from him, innocent Gia had trusted him so much and instead created a rift between her and her sister.She also saw him as a contender for the leadership of the Cartel if Venditti eventually retired; knowing her father, even if there wasn't Nathan, he'd rather have given it to the lowest-ranking soldier who was a male than to her.And all of that had contributed to her hatred towards him.And all those years he kept compiling what he was going to do to her; once he had Vend

He felt her shoulder tensing and her stomach doing a flip, and he sighed, placing his forehead on the back of her neck. breathing in her scent.Was that why he was behind her, so she didn't see his face when he spoke those words out in the room? to her ears?Or was she dreaming? "Zayne..." "I know, unbelievable."She wanted to nod, but she couldn't find her movement.The voice grew weaker. "I'm a wreck, every flaw you can find, I make the same mistakes all over again," his hand gripped hers, "and I hurt you in more ways than anyone could count."The side of his face was against her back, and her breath quickened; she felt trapped; she felt confused; he didn't only care... He also... was he okay?"When I saw you in the truck, Gianna, everything spelled a trap; the next move was to kill you, but I broke it."It wouldn't do with her back to him, she wanted to see his face when he said it to her, she wanted to find if there was any truth in that eyes."After I watched Matteo die, I was

And she made her decision.*He sat in the room, his legs crossed on the table, a cigar between his fingers as he watched the ceiling. Another night, but it wasn't just any night; this was the end of the fourth month.She hadn't made up her mind—or she had, but he couldn't tell because they hadn't crossed paths since that night. He'd made certain of it by keeping himself as busy as possible so that when he returned, the manor was quiet.Before proceeding to wash the blood from his body, he sat in this position, numbing himself with the weed and the alcohol.Today he decided to leave the alcohol.He wanted an almost clear mind when he watched her go, so he understood he was the only one invested—invested enough to be willing to risk everything.Or he was just looking out for himself; this was her dream he was talking about, a dream that had kept her going when she was at her lowest. How would he expect her to give it all up for him?Maybe because he could give it all up for her.The kn

Wasted.Drained.AchingFooledAnother fucking careless mistake, he couldn't explain, back against the ground, his clothes roughed up, the sting of her bites on his neck and shoulders.She was gone, gone before he had fully regained himself. Good for her; he would have lost it at the sight of her still beside him.Once again, he had fallen into her schemes. He sat up, ignoring the ache in his head, undoing the remaining buttons on his shirt as he walked into the bathroom.Hands flat against the wall, he let the water run down on him. The aftereffects of the drug had him staring down at his erection, which was gradually lying down.In anger, he washed her off him so hard there was almost a bruise, and he slammed his palms against the wall, placing his forehead on it. What had he done? Again?!It was nine in the morning already; sure, Jane was awake, but he wasn't prepared to return to the manor; he felt weak, used, and ruined. Though out of his will, she had gotten on with it, now relat

A week later and the room had him most of the hours of the day.Shame Guilt When he appeared to have everything in order, Sins called out and reminded him how much he didn't deserve Gianna.He tried to tell her several times what had happened that night when he believed she was gone. Tried to tell her when he held her hand during a walk on the beach with Jane in front of them...But then, losing her again wasn't what he wanted. He'd never been so afraid; he had never been so threatened.Alexa had called him two days after that night, and he could hear Nico's voice in the background; the call was filled with whispers and secrets."Don't get worked up, Zayne," she'd laughed over the phone, "that night was all I wanted; I promise not to tell anyone.""Your words don't mean sh*t, Alexa.""It hurts; that is all you can say after the best night of my life," she sighed. "Besides, I'm ready to let you go; you won't see me anymore; it's your fucking loss."That was the last he heard from her
