there was nothing she could do about it

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 10: there was nothing she could do about it.Between the two of them, and over the next half hour, they consumed an entire pizza. The meal, along with the easy banter and fun conversation, reminded Gianna of the better times they’d had. There had been a time, no matter how long ago it seemed, when Gianna had been less preoccupied, and more attentive to her brother.Maybe if she hadn’t let her need to help people and open her own clinic overtake her, Giovanni wouldn’t have been so deprived for attention that he turned to Mariposa.Before they left, and as Giovanni slurped up the last of his coke, Gianna said gently. “If this is what you want to do with your life, regardless if I like it or not, I will support you. I won’t turn my back on you and I will trust that you won’t hurt others. But this is a dangerous thing you’re a part of.”“I won’t hurt innocent people,” Giovanni promised. “In fact, I’m only with Mariposa because they’re the gang that’s

It will always get worse: Until she die

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 11: It will always get worse: Until she die. With trembling fingers Gianna did up the tiny buttons on the blue shirt she wore, feet dangling down from the high examination table she sat on. It was always a little odd when she was on the other end, and terrifying, because it usually meant only one thing.“Okay,” Her doctor announced, coming through the door, a large manila folder in hand.“X-rays are back?” Gianna asked hopefully. There’d been a rush put on them, out of respect for how she’d done her residency at the hospital, but sometimes there was no telling how long they’d take, and Gianna very much did not have all day.Maria, her high heels clacking a little, nodded as she opened the folder to hold one up to the light. Her short hair bob listed to the side as she cocked her head before giving up on spotting the issue without a backlight. “Right on time, for once.” She headed to the white board across the room and slid the x-ray into place,

It worked

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 12: it worked . Her father had always been right, even from the start. With her amazing scholastic performance, residency under the best oncologist in the country, and all the drive and ambition Gianna had bubbling up in her, she could have had an easy ride. She could have ended up at the top of her field already, seeing specialty patients from all over the world.But that wasn’t what Gianna wanted or valued.Her only regret was that the nature of her choices led to a considerable amount of stress, and therefore strain, on her heart. She was making herself worse, she understood. But there was no way to change anything, not without giving something important up in return.“Call your clinic,” Maria urged a few seconds later, a tentative smile pulling at her lips. “Then when you’re done, we’ll get you situated, bring the nurse in, and get this done. You’ll need to rest here for a while, but you’ll be out by later tonight.”Gianna caught Maria’s eyes

and here comes Rio

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 13: and here comes Rio . Within half an hour she was up and standing, and just after that she was dressed and holding still so the nurse could tie his shoes for her. She attempted it already herself, but a sudden case of vertigo had sent her smashing to the ground and she had an egg at the back of her head to prove it.“Take it easy, will you,” Maria said as she came to see her off. She put the back of her hand to her forehead and cautioned, “You’re going to be a little dizzy and disoriented for the next few hours, but it’ll wear off. Come see me immediately if anything feels off, and don’t take chances with your health. I know you’re stubborn, but be a little less stubborn on this issue.”“Thank you, Maria,” She said appreciatively, and kissed her cheek in a way that had her blushing. “I’ll see you in September.”The sun was low in the sky when Gianna left the hospital. She was a little unsteady on her feet, and there was the barest hint of vert

She was not some damsel in distress

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 14: She was not some damsel in distress. She did not, for one second, think she was better than anyone else. She understood that not everyone could afford to be so charitable, and some people were simply selfish for various reasons. She knew that instinctively most people wanted to do good, and that was enough. But she didn’t stick her nose in the air, she didn’t think that her running a clinic was any more important than whatever anyone else was doing, and the accusation was absolutely hurtful.Gianna had put everything into her clinic. She had given everything for it, and to keep it going, and she hadn’t done it to be able to brag or show it off or use it as fodder. She had done it because he wanted to help people, and it was as simple as that.Behind her, Gianna heard the rumble of Rio’s motorbike, and sure enough seconds later he was cutting back into Gianna’s path.“Gun or no gun,” Gianna threatened, “if you don’t leave me the hell alone, I

You brought me a chocopie

-Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 15: You brought me a chocopie. Gianna signed off on her last chart of the day and glanced towards the clock. At nine pm she was officially done with her workday. There were a couple of medical journals she wanted to review, and dinner sounded great, but she didn’t have any more patients to see that night.At least that was what she thought until one of her employees slipped her head through the door with a short knock and gave her an apologetic look.“What?” She asked with a grimace.“I know,” she eased out, “that you’re supposed to be done now … but …”“A last-minute walk-in?”For the most part, word had gotten around that they stopped taking walk-ins around eight. It was the only way they could manage the cutoff at the end of the day and not ruin someone’s night. But a last second walk-in either meant it was someone who hadn’t been the clinic before, or someone who was in desperate need of help.“What’s the condition?” Gianna asked, moving to

in other words, I like you

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 16: in other words, I like you . “Your brother said you don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but he also said you might not be so angry with me if I got that for you. I think I was successful?”. Gianna pocketed the treat. “Free pass.”Dante nearly preened.“For now,” Gianna added, but she was smiling, and when Dante grinned back, Gianna realized how difficult it would be to get and remain mad at someone like Dante.Then, a little more serious, Dante reached out to touch Gianna’s bruised wrist gently. “I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m sorry that someone thought they could hurt you like this and get away with it … and that it’ll be a while before I can do something about this.”“I don’t want you to do anything about it,” Gianna countered immediately. “I don’t want you to start things back up, not when they’re beginning to calm down. This? This is nothing. It’ll fade over time. But I won’t be able to forgive you if you try to retaliate in some way a

I’m kind of invested in you

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 17: I’m kind of invested in you. Dante’s grandmother was watching from the partially exposed kitchen, and it wasn’t as if Dante was asking such an impossible thing.So, offering a small smile, Gianna put her hand in Dante’s, let their fingers brush coolly, and stated, “I never pictured you with a grandmother.”Proudly, Dante was quick to say, “She raised me. I was six when I became her responsibility, but she never hesitated. Not even for a second. She and my grandfather mean more to me than anything else in this world.”Taking some initiative, Gianna let her grip tighten on Dante’s hand and she confessed quietly, “I lost my mother and sister at a young age. But I’m glad you had someone so loving and caring to raise you. You’re lucky.”“But you didn’t,” Dante said, certain in his words.“I had my dad,” Gianna corrected. “He wasn’t very loving or caring, but he was there, and that’s something. He could have dumped Giovanni and I with relatives overs

she can’t afford the luxury of falling in love

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 18: she can’t afford the luxury of falling in love . “Well,” Gianna said, trying not to think about how easily Namjoon could have been hurt. He could have died. “Could you possibly refrain from insulting the love life of dangerous criminals? I would prefer you whole and healthy, and not bleeding in my clinic.”“Careful,” Dante warned, drinking the last of his water. “You keep saying these things that lead me to think that you really care about me. I’ll get the wrong idea if you don’t stop.”“I’m kind of invested in you,” Gianna said, her heart starting to thunder again, though it felt natural and normal for once.Dante tried, “Because medical supplies are expensive?”“No,” Gianna said with a grin. “Obviously because my time is precious.”Dante blinked a bit blankly for a second before stating, “I like you too, Gia.”Gianna’s grin grew. “No taking back it back if you say it and mean it.”Dante crossed his arms and demanded, “Did some asshole say tha

but I don’t do dates

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 19: but I don’t do dates . The moment Gianna was across the threshold and into the main reception area, she already felt better.“Doctor Gia!” An older woman waiting in the receptionist area called to her, waving happily when she finally spotted her.She called back, “You’re looking gorgeous as usual, Mrs.” The woman was one of Yara’s regulars. “Gianna!,” the secretary at the front desk, Yara, said with arms crossed when she was nearer, “can you please not flirt with the patients?”“I can’t help it,” Gianna said, turning to wink at the elderly woman. “If the pretty ones keep coming in, I can’t be held accountable for my behavior.”In the waiting area, the older woman blew her a greasy kiss.“Anything happen while I was out at lunch?” Gianna asked before she cut back to the employee only area, moving to her side of the work space.She slipped Gia a written note on pastel pink paper that she used as if all other kinds offended her.
