My phone vibrated in my pocket so I took it out. I'm flying to Ireland tonight for work. You're still under my protection, dolcezza. Occuparsi.-LouisWhat is occuparsi? And why would I need protection? I placed my phone back in my pocket and kept on walking home. I love walking it gives me time alone. I'm constantly surrounded by people and that tends to tire me out.I got home and sighed in exhaustion. I went inside and straight up to my room. I heard Dom calling after me but I slammed my door shut. I immediately placed my AirPods in and laid down on my bed while hugging my pillow.I slowly fell asleep that way. I heard knocking coming from my bedroom door so I rubbed my eyes. I stood up and went to my door and found Parker standing outside.I ran into his arms and I felt his arms slowly wrapping around me. "Hey what's wrong?" He asked carefully so I shook my head against his chest and continued to hug him. "It's okay, I got you." He said softly before rubbing my back in a comfor

"Look at me." He demanded harshly."I can't." I cried sadly."Just look at me Joan." He said in a dangerously low tone. I couldn't take it anymore.I stormed out the door and went outside. I avoided everyone else and just,Breathed.I started walking home slowly, Charles was driving behind me since I told him that I preferred to walk.My body started feeling weak when I walked through a neighborhood close to home. I sat down on the side walk and started mind racing. What's the matter with me? I keep pushing everyone away from me. I can't make a single person stay. Maybe I should just stop trying, it's all in vein anyway. ~I laid on my bed when I heard my bedroom door creaking open. I felt the bed dipping behind me."Are you okay?" Dom asked softly and I just laid there,Quietly."No." I replied in a small voice.Dom laid behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes as I felt calm in his presence."I'm sorry, bunny." He said and I nodded my head."Me too." I told him w

"Can I take you out tonight?" Louis asked and I smiled broadly."Yes." I said before placing a kiss on his lips. He ran his hands over my ass and a shiver ran down my spine."I missed you, dolcezza." He said softly and my heart melted. He placed a feathery kiss on my lips before brushing my hair out of my face and interlocking our lips in a passionate kiss."I missed you too." I said in between our kisses."Fuck it's so hard to resist you." He said while looking at me with his stormy blue eyes. "I have five Yakuza coming to my office in ten minutes and they can't find you here." Louis explained while looking at my lips."Why? Are they gonna kill me?" I asked smiling and he shifted in his seat."They can try." He said with a clean smirk on his face. I placed a kiss on his lips as he did so and got up right after. He hit my ass and I giggled lightly. When I turned back to look at him he was already staring at my ass and I blushed slightly."Eyes up here, mister." I said while my hands

After brunch Louis drove me home right after we dropped his mom off at his place. He parked in our driveway and got out to open my door for me. When I got outside he pulled me flush against his chest. I looked up at him and smiled when he kissed me softly on my lips."So you introduced me as your girlfriend earlier." I said and he raised a single eyebrow so I did the same."You're right I should've asked." He said before placing tiny kisses in my neck and I giggled. "Joan Gibbs will you make me the luckiest man on this planet and be my girlfriend?" He asked and I smiled before nodding."Yes." I said and he hugged me tightly. "But we do need some boundaries." I said and he groaned."Why boundaries?" He asked and I ran my fingers through his hair."I'm not gonna use your money anymore." I said and he gave me a warning look. "And I don't think it would be right if I continue working as a seductress for my boyfriend's company." I said and he opened his mouth but I stopped him from speaki

Mason and Tyler brought me here last night. It's dark and cold. I don't think I'll last long down here. I think they're keeping me in a basement or something.I'm chained up and I have nowhere to go. I'm absolutely alone. I pulled my legs towards my chest and rested my chin on my kneecaps. I started sobbing quietly as I accepted my fate.Louis was right. As long as I'm with him people are always going to try to kill me. But if my safety means I have to lose him then I'd rather let them kill me.My head snapped up when I heard the door creaking open. I carefully watched the tall figure stalking towards me."Hello, Joan." I heard a familiar voice. I frowned before puzzling the pieces together. "Or should I say, Blanca?" He asked with sarcasm lacing his every word."Luciano?" I asked in confusion."Yes! That's the one. I thought it would've taken you longer." He said and I frowned even more."Why are you doing this?" I asked and he scoffed."You lied to me, Joan. You and that boyfriend
