Giselle's POV :
I put an annoyed expression and continued my conversation with Travis.
"Nothing much." He replied
"It's unusual for you to call me. I'm always the one who calls."
"What are you implying?"
"Nothing, I'm just stating facts Travis. I guess the truths are always bitter."
"Oh yeah? My truths are bitter huh? Like you don't have bitter truths."
"What bitter truths do I have? I told you everything honestly. Why are we even arguing over the phone?"
"Well, I'm not near you so god knows what you're doing with that boss of yours."
I gasped, "You did NOT just accuse me."
"Oh I did."
"YOU JERK! How dare you? After all the years we've known eachother, this is the question you ask me?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah? I don't need to explain anything to you. Am I uttering a single word about you and Tulia? HUH?"
"So now you're accusing me?"
"The reason that I didn't suspect you is because I trust you. Trust is the foundation to a relationship. Clearly, you don't have it in me."
He cut the call. I didn't even want to call him back.
He was staring at me with an amused expression.
"Sir, can I go back home now?"
He put a sly face and said, "Yes, if you're sure you won't feel lonely."
"Oh sir, you've mistaken. I have lots of good company to have fun with."
He narrowed his eyes and cornered me, "Who might that be exactly?"
"That is my personal matter sir. It would be better for you if you don't meddle in my personal life, sir."
He clenched his jaw because there was nothing he could say back to me. I stated facts.
"Get OUT of my sight!"
"Gladly." I muttered under my breath.
I took the unfinished files and reached the ground floor. I heard Natalie calling my name. I turned to her and asked, "Hey! What's up?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go clubbing with me?"
"I have to go-"
'Pleeaaaaaaseeeeeee Giselle, it'll be so much fun. It'll be our first girl's night out. We can change at my house."
"I don't have an appropriate dress Nat."
"That's what I'm here for."
"Natalie, I have to submit all these files tomorrow."
She glanced at the files and said, "Ok how about we finish these off right now. We wouldn't want the boss getting angry. It's not a pretty sight."
She drove us to her home which was welcoming. I sat and finished those files in 4 and a half hours considering it was 8:20 as of now. I was finishing mine and she was finishing hers. Even though I did it quick, I worked on each file efficiently. They were not as big as the first five. I'm lucky I finished them before hand. We finally finished at 1:00 a.m even after eating dinner.
After we were finally finished, I was trying to convince her into not going, but she wasn't having any of it.
She was showing me dress after dress, but all of them were rejected by me. They were simply inappropriate.
"Gosh! Elle! If you don't like this one I'm gonna put it on you myself."
I rolled my eyes. She pulled out the dress and it looked.....good. It was a sleek red dress. It was just the right length. It was strapless and had stones on its neckline.
She grabbed my hand, placed the dress in it, and shoved me in the bathroom.
I slipped it on and it fit me perfectly in all the right places. I guess I looked.....good.
By the time I came out, Natalie also changed into her hot pink dress. It suited her well. She squealed by looking at me.
"I'll do the perfect hair and make-up for you. Men will swoon over you after I'm done."
"Natalie, I'm not going for men. I have a boyfriend."
"Okay whatever mom."
She did my hair in a sleek pony. She gave me a smokey eye look with black eye shadow. She put on dark red lipstick on me and I was done. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I was shocked. Natalie did a great job. By the time I turned around, she finished off her makeup.
She grabbed my hand and she started driving to the club. The exterior was big and read 'Nightclub'. Pfft! Yeah. like that wasnt obvious. There was a double 'A' as a logo. I entered and it looked so grand. So familiar too. I'm getting a familiar feeling from this club.
"Nat, are we even supposed to be here?"
"Of course, I even have a club membership. Now lets have some FUN."
I chuckled at her excitement and followed her. She dragged me to the dance floor and we danced like there was no tomorrow. I was really enjoying myself, letting go of the pent- up tension and stress.
After getting exhausted, I sat on one of the bar stools.
"What would you like ma'am?" The server asked me.
"I'd love a glass of water."
He placed a glass in front of me. Without thinking twice, I swallowed the liquid down and it burned my throat. I chocked and asked him, "What's this?"
"There was no water, so I gave you a shot of vodka."
"You idiot!" Ugh! I never take alcohol well. It's vodka at that! I already feel slurry and dizzy. I managed to clear my mind and found Nat dancing with some random guy.
"Nat, can we go now?"
"Go where? We just came here."
"The waiter gave me vodka and I took it! Now, I feel dizzy."
"Ok Elle, just sit on one of the bar stools and we'll head out."
I nodded and sat on one of the bar stools. I was planning to sit still, but I could feel the alcohol kicking in and before I knew, I wasn't sitting on the stool anymore. I'm having sudden bursts of excitement and drunk me is always an ugly sight!
Giselle's POV :"Do you take Giselle as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?""I do. I take this ring as a sign of my love and faithfulness in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit." Venettio said.I also repeated the same vows.I was wearing a white mermaid dress with lace sleeves and a shiny belt. I even had a tiara with a really long veil. My hair was done into a chignon and I had diamond earrings. When Venettio saw me, I swear his eyes got glassy.I myself was teary, but I didn't cry for the sake of my makeup.Venettio looked delicious. He was wearing a white suit, with his hair gelled back. His sharp jaw, piercing grey eyes, high cheekbones and luscious pink lips made
Giselle's POV :"He's totally whipped." I heard someone say."Come on. Let's get you washed up. I spoiled your dress."He flung me across his shoulder and carried me upstairs.I hit his back. "I can walk you know.""It's been too long sweetheart."He dropped me in the bathroom and I closed the door and took a shower.When I finished, I wrapped a towel and came out of the bathroom.As soon as I reached the bed, I was tackled."What are you doing? Get off me!"His face was centimeters from mine."No. Hear me out. I honestly love you. I told you why I left you. It's okay if you don't want to give me a chance because I don't deserve it. But, I'm selfish Giselle. I can't bear the thought of you with someone else, nor can I imagine you with anyone else.
Giselle's POV :We quietly slipped into their warehouse. There were so many members.But, when they realize that it was us, it was chaos everywhere. There was blood, bullets, and weapons everywhere.I took down whoever I could. It was all blood and gore. I got stabbed and shot. But, the men of Devil's wrath were very strong.One could say they were a little more skilled than the other mafia. Everybody was fighting and I even spotted Tito. But, he didn't recognize me.Hell's men were going down in number. It was clear that we had the upper hand. But, even our men weren't in a good condition.I saw Venettio fighting with a man. I was approaching them, and from the corner of my eyes, I saw someone aiming his gun at Venettio.It didn't take me a heartbeat to run over to him and act as his shield. I was ready to embrace the bullet, but
Giselle's POV:He was infuriating. How dare he think of me in such a way?Anyways he doesn't have to know that the 'he's that I love is Tolo.Finally, he drove to my apartment.I was about to open the door, but he locked it."What do you want?"He put his head on his steering wheel and said, "Please tell me you were lying...about loving someone else.""I do. It's irrelevant to you.it was who you broke my heart, not the other way around.""Giselle, I thought I could move on with my life. But the thought of what I did to you, kills me everyday. The thought of you being with someone else kills me. You know why I left you?""Why?" I whispered. "You could be lying to me." I told him."I swear on my mother's grave that from here on, I'll be telling you the truth.""I do
Giselle's POV :I was in a crisis! I needed a date for the event. I was ready. I had a navy blue, floor length silky dress on and my hair was in an updo.I didn't even read that I needed a date. "Who should I call?" I asked Tolo.He barked and I said, "Awesome. I hope he comes though."I called Silvio and he picked up, "Silvio, are you free?""Yes, why?""Thank God! Will you be my date tonight? I need to go to a charity event and I need a date asap. I didn't read it before, but now I read it again and realized that I needed a partner.""Calm down Bella. I'll come. Give me 15 minutes to get ready.""Thank you so much! You're a life saver. I owe you one."We said our goodbyes and I texted him my address."Baby, he said that he'll come." Tolo licked my hand and drifted off to sleep.
Giselle's POV :I went to my car in dissapointment.I drove all the way to my apartment without stopping for even a minute.I reached my apartment and breathed in the familiar homey scent.Home sweet home. I locked the door and immediately went to the bathroom. I took off my wig and showered.I looked in the mirror and sighed. Finally, I didn't have to disguise myself anymore.I immediately went to my office and I was greeted by my employees.I thanked Celia and got to work. I was checking files all day long. Finally at night, I checked and signed a good amount of files.By the time I reached my apartment, it was 9 pm. I fell back on the bed and immediately called Chelsea.I told her each and every thing that had happened. I burst out in tears when I told her about the close proximity to Joana.
