บททั้งหมดของ The Don's Prey : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

MARKOShe had been quiet all the while. Her lips shut which was unlike her. She was never the quiet type, not the girl I married. I knew her, and her bold tone, but she grew cold, distant. The ride was quiet even Piero noticed that he had to ask her what the matter was, and she gave the same cold gesture.Well, I didn't know what happened, but I loved it. For once she was following the rules I made for her, and it was perfect. However, as we arrived at our venue, I noticed how she tensed up. Maybe because it wasn't like the normal party she was expecting.Asides that, maybe the fact that she stopped behind me, demanding answers came up unexpectedly. “Where exactly are you taking me to?” She finally spoke up, causing me to stop in my tracks. “To the party of course. We have to be there in time, so would you quit making a fuss and move?” She shook her head. “No! I'm not going anywhere. Do you understand me? I am going to have to be aware of where you're taking me, or maybe I should

MARKO"She safely arrived home, boss, and is now tucked into bed,” he explained, making me nod as we exited the event. I was already bored of the event, and getting home was what I needed now. “Hope she's guarded?” I asked, the deal was to make sure she never had a chance to escape, not even once. “Yes, and she's already in bed. I'm sure by now she's going to be asleep,” Piero added, making me nod. He opened the door, helping me before rushing to the driver's side. “She also seemed different today. For once, she was asking me questions about you.” His words got to me, making me raise my brows. I was so confused about it. Besides, I didn't expect him to say anything about her.“Hmm.” That was the only response I gave. She was still only an instrument, one I was going to use to my satisfaction. Besides, her father was still being investigated, and until I found out exactly what was going on, I was going to ensure that she was in my grip. “Have you done what I asked you about Ales

GIOVANNAI walked into my room, leaving him with his mistress. I was so pained by whatever was going on. My chest ached like crazy, and I needed to be able to make sense of everything.I wasn't affected by her staying here, no way. Afterall, I didn't plan to stay here for long, but then it was only a matter of time and the two weeks were going to be over. Less than a week left, and I was going to be out of here. As I paced around my room, I heard a knock on my door that caused me to roll my eyes, but before I could let him in, he was already in the room.“Gattina, was that really something you can't handle?” He asked with raised brows, and I rolled my eyes. “If I were to have handled the situation, I would have made sure she was kicked out of the house without even looking back,” I explained to him, making him smile. “You're right. Well, she can sometimes be pushy, but I'm sure she–”“There's no need to explain. I'll be out of here in a few days. I mean, the two week agreement is a

GIOVANNA The rest of the week was filled with terror. His ex, what was her name again? Claudia. She was the reason I was in such a situation.Thankfully, I wasn't going to be in this house anymore as today was the day this hell of a marriage was getting annulled. I woke up that morning as early as possible to be able to get ready. The smile on my face couldn't be washed away, but by the time I stepped out of the room I noticed Marko was nowhere to be found. He wasn't in the dining room, neither had I set eyes on him since morning. As I ate breakfast with Claudia sitting opposite me, I couldn't help but notice her glare. I knew she was up to something scheming again, but I couldn't tell what it was because she was overly shady. “You know you should focus on your food before I shove my hand down your throat,” I expressed, not giving her a bit of my gaze, not even once. She was silent, but then she scoffed, pushing herself up from the table. “I hope you choke and die,” she uttered

GIOVANNA “What do you mean my father? Are you trying to say my father wants me dead?” I asked with my hands crossed over my chest. There were a lot of things he had been saying, and even when he was trying to make sense of him , mentioning my father threw everything off. I shook my head. “You better come up with a better excuse. This one is lame and out of place, you need to understand that I am tired, and fed up with a man like you.” There was silence. He didn't seem to know what to say to me. “I'm going to try another lawyer. Anything to get you to stay away from me you creep. I made this offer to you, and I'm starting to regret all of my actions.”He exhaled again, and this time came close to me. “I know you're probably mad, and angry about everything, trust me, I am too, but then I wouldn't want you wasting your time. Believe me, I don't want you around any more than you think. All I do with you is to play along. The more you try to make this hard, the more the lawyer is goin
