•GIANNI•Kinley was laying in bed, deep in sleep.I was sitting in a chair near the door watching her. I had barely been able to get any sleep since she had returned home after Talon had taken her.It was impossible for me to sleep. I knew Talon was locked up tight enough that he wouldn't get out. But I still couldn't sleep.I couldn't begin to imagine how it must have felt for her, she was the one who had experienced it all. Kinley told me she had been having nightmares, I couldn't blame her. When I closed my eyes, I kept seeing him hurting her.It was driving me insane, and a part of me wanted to go down there and kill him right away.But I wouldn't do that, it would be far too easy.I wanted him to suffer for what he had done to Kinley, and for taking my unborn baby away from me.No, death would come much later, when he has suffered enough.For now, I would leave him tied up.Luca was having some fun using Talon as an outlet for anger, I saw no reason to stop him.Getting to my fe

•KINLEY•The meeting with King was going well, although I noticed that Gianni had yet to mention Jade. He had mentioned a few names, but not hers.I was surprised that he had even mentioned Billie's family, but I was more surprised that King seemed interested in taking them down.Seeing as he was Billie's step-brother, I had expected him to offer them special treatment.I sat quietly listening to them speak, Gianni going so far as to offer to walk them into a trap.King seemed to agree with Gianni, and I got to my feet realizing this meeting was going on longer than I had planned."I have to excuse myself. I'm meeting some designers with Billie today, we want to go over what pieces to showcase for the club re-opening."Gianni stood to kiss me goodbye and I walked out, Luca waiting at the door for me."Ready to go?" He asked."Yes, I want the plans behind me so I can stop stressing about it.""It will be a huge success, you're worrying over nothing.""I hope you're right. I hope you're

•KINLEY•My nerves were shattered, and being pregnant I couldn't use alcohol to help with that.The club was already packed, and I stood near the bar keeping an eye on everything.The press had arrived the moment the doors were opened and had been snapping pictures ever since thankfully they had only taken a few photos of me but they hadn't asked me any questions.My stomach felt fluttery with nerves as it was and I wasn't sure I would be able to answer any questions successfully right now.Gianni was running a little late, he had called me from home o let me know he would be here as soon as possible, but he had a few things he needed to take care of first.When I had asked, he didn't elaborate, but I knew it had to have something to do with the mafia business.Billie walked over to me with a pink fruity-looking cocktail in her hand, "Babe, why are you standing over here looking as if you've just been thrown out of home? This is a huge success, that you created!"I forced a smile, "I

•KINLEY•I had tossed and turned the entire night, my anxiety sneaking in like a thief of joy.When I had woken up the first thing I did was check the internet news sites, and sure enough, there were stories questioning why Gianni had not been seen at the re-opening and why I had left so abruptly.Some went as far as to have headlines asking if there was trouble in paradise.I put my phone down and made my way downstairs while still in my pajamas. To my surprise, Gianni sat at the table."What are you doing?" I asked. By this time he was usually in his study, or off doing something."Having breakfast with my wife."I took a seat opposite him, "Don't you have important things to take care of?"He frowned at me, "Of course I do. But you told me you feel neglected, I am trying to make time to spend with you.""Oh. Okay." I felt a bit bad that I sounded so cold about it, but I wasn't sure how to handle this.Just last night I had been wondering if we had rushed things, and now he was doi

•KINLEY•Gianni let me sleep while the three of them continued making plans.When I woke up I had some greek yogurt Gianni had bought me.The three of them were still on the balcony, even though it was beginning to get dark.After eating, I made my way out to them, "How is the planning coming along?""We have it all planned out. How are you feeling?" Gianni asked as he extended his hand out toward me."A little better. Are we going tonight or tomorrow?""Tonight."I knew that we all wanted this over and done with, so I wouldn't argue with that.I sat with them until it was time to leave.Originally I had felt fine about this, but now that we were actually in the car and on our way to Jade I was beginning to feel a bit queasy at the idea.As we drove, Gianni skimmed over the plan for me. We would stop near the front of the villa, and Barney and Luca would go around the back while Gianni took me through the front.To my surprise, just as we were getting out of the car, he handed me a gu
