All Chapters of To Love A Criminal: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Dinner tonight is tense, each person is mad at the other for events that happened earlier today, and each waiting for an excuse to snap.Nico is mad that Beth got into his friend's head and Beth has confirmed that Nico is up to no good.Gianna is mad that Nico snapped at her last night and she has planned to avoid him but she obviously can't. This family always has dinner together no matter how much they get on each other's nerves.Sarah is mad at Jacob for preventing her from going to a party tonight. She thought she deserved a night off after working so hard these past couple of days for her exams but Jacob didn't think so. So she yelled something along these lines. "You are so lame and you are not my dad." And Jacob yelled something along these lines. "You are grounded."

There are three dinners happening tonight; Gianna's date with Ashton, The Bailey's first dinner without a stranger around, and The Rae's sad dinner of one."Sir, your dad's flight just took off." One of Rae's security guard stops at the dining table to inform Giovanni.Suddenly, Gio's shoulders feel lighter. His Dad in Cabo for a business trip is what he needed. He is legit scared of his dad, he feels another screw-up and Angelo might put a bullet to his head.There's no loving mother to stop him anyway. Speaking about loving mothers, Kaylee has been in and out of it for weeks now. She wouldn't even look at her son.Not that Gio can blame her, he can't look at himself. The mirror isn't the only problem, he can't sleep. He can't help b

"No," Nico says sternly as he walks upstairs with Sarah following behind him."Why?" She breathes out in frustration."Because you waited till Jacob left before you spring up your intentions of going to a party tomorrow night. I know a scheme when I see one.""That's because Jacob didn't let me go to the last party I was invited to. He was a social pariah when he was in high school and he is trying to make me one as well."They both walk into the sitting room where they both stop to listen to what the other has to say."Please Nic, I need this. These girls are only inviting me to these parties because I am best friends with Diego, if I don't show up again, they will stop inviting me.

"Leaving so soon?" Nico halts immediately once he hears that familiar voice. "Fuck!" He says under his breath. He turns around and there he was, the infamous Uncle, one of the people Nico believes orchestrated his arrest and imprisonment. He is a short old man, bald-headed with a huge scar on his left cheek, like he intentionally puts effort to look like the villain he is. "Glad to see you are back." He says adjusting the lapels of his suit. "Walk with me," He says gesturing to the door Nico was about to exit from earlier. Nico swallows the hate and the anger that's burning inside him. He knows he will have his time one day. Nico nods walking outside the hall with Uncle behind h

"Wow, you did it." The Mayor stops in front of Gianna, "I kind of doubted you but you outdid yourself." He says gesturing at the hall full of people."Thank you, sir," Gianna says with a smile. She knows it's not her doing, she herself is shocked by the turn up.Someone walks up to the Mayor and whispers something. The only thing Gianna could get from the inaudible conversation is "riot.""I'll be right there." The Mayor says dismissing him."Hope all is well?" Gianna asks."Your job is to bring people here and you have, the rest, I'll handle." He assures her but is tensed shoulders isn't that assuring."Does that mean I got the job
