All Chapters of The Don's Prey : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

GIOVANNA “Hi, how may i—” His secretary was saying politely with a soft smile on her face when I raised a finger to my lips, making the universal "shush" motion. She blinked, clearly thrown off guard, but I didn’t have time to explain. “Is he in there? Your boss?” I whispered, nodding toward the grand double doors just a few feet away. My voice barely made a sound, hoping it would keep me out of sight. The secretary hesitated, brow furrowing slightly. “Uh… yes, but—” Before she could finish, I winked at her, unable to help myself, and slipped past, my feet light on the ground as I scurried away on my tippy toe.“But that's not his office..” The remaining of her words filtered out as I had already pushed the doors open and stepped inside.“Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart.” I yelled as the girls who held up the question “Will you Marry Me?” lined up behind me and the trumpeters I had hired blew, their sounds piercing through the air but my jaw dropped when Alessandro turned i

Chapter 3.GIOVANNA “Now that it's signed, we can go over to a registry to make it official.” He started grabbing his keys and my phone began buzzing almost immediately.I stared at the caller ID and picked it up when I saw that it was my father calling.“Hello Dad—” I was greeting when his sharp, hoarse voice stopped me immediately.“You better come home now.” And with that, he dropped the call.“ I'll need some time as I really need to go home and sort things with my father but I've already signed so you know I won't bail out.” “I'll drive you home.” I didn't argue but instead let him drop me home thankfully and I was just going to go quietly to my room and have a cold shower to clear my head when the light in the dining table turned on.“Where have you been, young lady?” Dad's voice cut through the air and I sighed as I turned to his direction.“Dad, why were you waiting for me? Don't make it seem like you suddenly care about where I've been. Besides, I'm only here for vacation

MARKO“How long do I have left? And are all the members of the society present at the venue already?” I questioned putting on my watch as Piero scrolled on the tab before humming.“They're all present and waiting for the meeting.” I nodded poker faced, in satisfaction.“Boss, we have a problem.” I looked up to meet Dante's eyes who had just walked into the room looking like he got into a street fight and I raised my brows.“I have a meeting in less than an hour, Dante and I'm already dealing with a lot of shit. If there's a problem, fix it.” I ordered tightening my jaw as I grabbed my keys and there it over to Piero who caught it in time.“It's about your wife, boss.” He muttered blinking repeatedly and I grunted spinning to face him.“Giovanna? Make it quick.” I raised a brow as he swallowed repeatedly before continuing.“She refused to come home with us as you ordered, matter of fact, she was violent and did this.” He pointed to his torn shirt and I squinted my eyes in disbelief and

GIOVANNA"Do you care for a drink, ma'am?" My lips trembled as I traced circles on my wrist- a nervous habit I couldn't quite shake and it helped me when I was anxious."No, I'm okay." For the third time, someone tried to get my attention with a drink and guess who I had to thank for it?Yup, fucking Marko.The ego maniac that thought it best to abandon me in a club and is probably somewhere throwing shots of whiskey backwards.At least, if he was bringing me to a nightclub, he should have stated why or at the very least, keep me by his side."I'm sure you'd need a drink. It isn't easy to get cheated on despite the several efforts that you've tried to put in." My breath hitched in my throat as I pivoted slowly to meet the unfamiliar face who seemed to know quite a good number of things about me."You're right. It is not easy especially when a nosy reporter from the media tries to start a conversation by offering a drink. I'll pass on that offer." I sighed, clicking my tongue staring in

Episode 9GIOVANNAYour Husband's Estate?Well, I'll be damned because I have to pick a choice that would allow me to sleep well at night and going back to Marko's estate wasn't on the list.I started the car engine and manually inputted my destination as I let the GPS recalculate.From the maps, the nearest hospital was about 35 minutes away, I'll get there in 20 minutes."Ughhh." Olive grunted as she twisted uncomfortably in her seat and I sighed, turning to take a glance at them for a few moments."It's okay. You'll be alright, we'll be at the hospital soon." I wasn't sure if they could hear me but they need all the reassurance they can get right now.The road was freaking lonely and me on any other normal day wouldn't find the balls to drive with two wounded companions but well, it is what it is."Is it just me or the accelerator isn't going fast enough?" I gritted my teeth slamming my hands on the steering wheel as I sped away."I feel lightheaded." Olive managed to form a string
