ToniI sat frozen in shock when all I could hear around me was giggling. There was no one else in the room. “ha, ha,ha,ha,” seriously? What the fuck was going on? It was beginning to become a little more freaky now. My cup moved over two spaces and my breakfast had moved back to the other end of the counter.“What the actual fuck is going on? Show yourself or face the consequences,” I growled.“Aww, don’t be like that, Toni. I didn’t mean anything by it,” Ana said as she came out of hiding.“That was you? No offence sis but, we were only gone 5 days. There’s no way you managed to master that.”“But she did,” Lileth said as she walked from the kitchen with serving platters in her hands.“and a whole lot more,” Julian added. I looked at her in such a way that I didn’t need to ask the question ‘what is he talking about?’“Where do I start?”“From the beginning,” Gio said as he entered the dining room and sat next to me. He seemed to be as much in

Anonymous Watching from my hideout at the foot of the embankment, I could see the car flip over multiple times before bursting into flames. Seeing them race towards the burning car made something crack inside me but I couldn’t stop now. BOOM!The sound of the explosion shook the area.I knew the remains were unidentifiable. It was all part of the plan that I had agreed on. Thankfully, I still had inside help to get through this. In two weeks it will all be over. I hope.I packed up my rifle and headed back to where I am staying, ensuring to police my brass before I left as well as cover my tracks, just like I was taught.If the mission called for it, I would’ve taken them out at the scene of the car accident but, as it is, they are needed alive.I cleaned my rifle and put it in the safe where it belonged until I needed it again before heading to the kitchen to make myself some tea, getting ready to settle in for the night.Gio Sh

ToniSomething just wasn’t sitting right with me and the overwhelming need to find Gio took over me. I ran to his office as fast as I could. Racing the door to the office, I paused to catch my breath before pushing it open.“Gio!” I shouted as I ran to his body curled up on the floor. “Lileth, get the doc in here, now!” I screamed. “Gio, come on. You need to wake up,” I pleaded as I gently shook him by his shoulders. “What’s going o..” Lileth gasped. “Gio! Oh no. Doc, get in here quick,” she ordered.Doc Richard appeared in the doorway and just as fast, he was crouched next to me checking Gio’s pulse.“This don’t look good. His pulse is weak. Lileth, do you have that medicine available. The one you prepared for Alberto when this happened to Maria?” I looked at him in anger and confusion.“He has not lost his mind,” I said angrily.“It’s not that medicine, Toni. It’s to help repair the heart after the shock,” Lileth tried to explain. She left to go

Gio“I mean this in the nicest possible way, because it’s you, what the fuck are you taking about?”“I’m sorry master Gio. After recent events, Ana made us swear that nothing would be said to either of you. You know my loyalty to this family, especially to you and now her. As the plan did not include her faking her death or affecting your health, I feel like an explanation is in order.”“I am all ears.” Toni said.“Let’s get one thing clear now, Toni. When she comes back, she is going to beat you silly. You hurt her feelings which then pushed her to make the decision to take on this mission by herself,” Bianca said angrily.“Will someone please tell me what the fuck is going on? What fucking mission?” I growled. None of this was making any sense and I was slowly getting a headache.“Some of this information maybe new to you so try to keep up. A few doors down, Ellie sits awaiting punishment for ratting you out to Jaime. Ana figured out it was her, I tau

OrianaI was so calm and confident when I agreed for Gio to come to the house but, now he was standing there in front of me, I felt insecure again. What if he hates me for leaving? If I told him, I knew he would’ve tried to stop me. Then there were the letters from Jaime threatening his life if I didn’t willingly go to him. I had to come clean about everything.Picking up the tray of drinks and snacks, I made my way back into the sitting room. Placing the tray on the table, I noticed that the only seat free was next to Gio. I smiled to myself but I couldn’t sit that close to him right now, not until I have said what I had to say.“Here,” I said, passing Toni a cloth soaked in a special medicine. “There’s a lot to get through so please, as always, leave your questions until the end,” everyone nodded except for Gio. “Let me start by apologizing for any hurt and upset I caused. It was not my intention and my plan seemed good at the time,” silence, phew. “Three days

GioIt was almost time to leave, so I got up in search of Toni. I walk around to the side of the cottage to find Toni and Ana laughing and joking like old times. I was happy that she had forgiven him but, it will take a bit longer for him to earn my forgiveness after the way he treated Lileth. She practically raised him after Maria was abducted and then tragically died, and that’s how he repays her. I closed my eyes and took a breath to calm myself. When I opened them again, Ana and Toni were walking towards me.“I’ll go and put this away,” Toni said, taking the rifle from Ana and headed to the house.“How are you feeling?” She asked as she walked towards me and placed her hand on my cheek. I leaned into her touch and sighed.“Better now that I have you back. I almost have up on life and was quite happy to because I thought I would be reunited with you in the next life,”“Gio, I swear it wasn’t an easy decision to make. I needed to make sure you didn’t come

OrianaThe fucking cheeky little bitch. I’m going to torture her, make her scream. There’s no way that thing inside her is Gio’s. Like he said, he hasn’t slept with her in 2 years. I’m not angry with him for having a part but, I will be pissed if he ever went with another woman whilst with me.My short time being with this family has changed me, for what I think is for the better. I still think before I do things but I have developed a hardened persona. I’m not the same timid woman that allowed someone to smack her around and caused mental anguish. I am drawing on the months of abuse to give me the strength I need right now.Matteo was holding onto Pier, with a gun pointing to the back of his head. I looked around and I shouted my team giving the signal that they were in position so, I took off my helmet and quickly reached for my gun and shot Matteo between the eyes.“I don’t like traitors,” I said as I looked at both Ellie and Jaime. I went in to advise Ellie t

SakalansWatching over Oriana all of her life was a privilege for me. You see, there was something that not many people knew about me and that included Gio and Antonio.My mother also has a secret that she has never told anyone, but I know the day will come when it will get out and when it does, all hell will break loose, probably.Oriana is my niece, my biological niece. When I started working for Gio’s parents, I noticed a lot of similarities between Maria and I but, felt nervous of what my mother would say if I confronted her. Luckily, it was Gio’s grandparents who took her in and raised her with Gio’s father.I kept tabs on Oriana long before I was asked to. Always making sure things were in place for when she took over the empire.As soon as she spoke to us about her plan to protect Gio and the others, I knew that I would need the back up and her teams needed to be let loose to be able to protect her. What I want thinking about was myself, especially wh

Toni"I am your mother's biological brother. That would make me your uncle," Lans explained.Lileth was crying her eyes out after she unloaded all of that information. It must've been weighing her down having held it in all these years."Lileth, or should I call you grandma?" And asked, giving a little chuckle as she wrapped her arms around her."Whatever you feel most comfortable with," Lileth said with a sigh.Wow. Information overload. I knew it would take me a while to process all of this. I have an uncle and a grandma who are still alive. Now I have a slight understanding how and felt when I gave her all that information when she first came here.Going back home after seeing Ana, alive and I'm the flesh, the sight before me made me so angry. A lot of good men last dead, killed execution style. Pulling up at the house I could see Leo fucking Machiavelli stood at the top of the steps. I should've fucking known it was him. It was his signature style a

Oriana Gio took my hand and we sped off towards the bedroom. “Eager much?” I giggled. “You have no idea, Oriana,” he said through gritted teeth and heavy breathing. He scared me a little but, I understood why he felt this way. After we entered the room, he slammed the door shut and quickly locked it, still holding my hand. He turned to me, gripped my hair and kissed me roughly, forcing his tongue into my mouth. His grip tightened, causing me to whimper into his mouth. I hadn’t realised that we had moved until the back of my legs hit the bed. Gio made quick work of removing my clothes before pushing me onto the bed. I was intrigued by his behaviour. So dominating and tough. Sometimes it’s nice to switch it up a little bit. I have already had the gentle side of him, now I get the rest of him, the Don. “Give me what you’ve got. Don’t hold back.” Boy, did I regret saying those words after I had said them? Maybe a little. A hint of the devil sparkled in his eyes and a wicked grin spr
