Grace's povThe drive after we left his warehouse was tense and quiet. His hands were clenching on the steering wheel like he wanted to murder it. I knew it was a bad time to speak as I was following him against his wheel so I didn't talk. He slowed down in front of the massive gate and the gate pulled open. He pulled over in front of a big building and got out of the car. I got down after him, and he came to my side, holding my hand. He pulled me with him to the side of the house.Our every moment was a blur to me until we stopped in front of a door.Silvano looked at me as if seeking permission and I nodded my head before he opened the door. The room was cold. It wasn't cold because of the air, but because of what it held.A man was tied to a chair in the center of the room, his face swollen and bloody. His shirt was soaked in sweat and Red— blood. He raised his head slightly, just enough for me to see the terror in his eyes.I froze and was unable to move.“What is she doing he

Silvano's Pov The car roared as I pulled over in front of a casino.I got out of the car and adjusted my jacket, smoothing out the wrinkles, before making my way toward the entrance.On seeing me, the guards at the door opened the way for me and bowed to me as I passed by. I scanned the room, my eyes adjusting to the dim lighting. People were hanging around, busy with what they were here for. I have to meet someone, and I wasn't here for the games.From the corner of my eye, I saw one of the guards speak into his earpiece. He is alerting his higher authorities to my appearance. My destination wasn't in the crowded room, it was in a private room. That is where she would be.I strode across the floor, weaving past patrons engrossed in their bets. There was a guard at the door when I got to the entrance of the private room. From outside, I caught sight of her.She was sitting facing the door, twirling a glass of scotch in her hand while she spoke with someone I couldn't see in the

Silvano's PovI exhaled slowly, leaning back in my chair.“If I wanted to kill you, Miss Green,” I said, my voice firm, “I wouldn’t go through the trouble of making you Mac and cheese in the morning when I could be busy working.”Her eyes didn’t leave mine. She still looked unconvinced. She was trying to decide if she should believe me and my words.And I got it. I understood. I wasn't angry at her. After everything she had seen, after everything I had done to her, how could she not be afraid of me?“I know you are scared. And I know what you saw changed the way you look at me. But I am not going to hurt you, Grace.”She dropped her gaze, her fingers fidgeting with the fork beside her plate.“You are not going to hurt me, but you don’t exactly make me feel safe either,” she mumbled.I nodded at what she said. Fair enough.I stood up slowly and grabbed my glass of juice. “You don’t have to eat it. Just don’t go hungry because you are afraid of me hurting you.”She didn’t respond to me

Grace's Pov In the split seconds when his lips brushed against mine, I made my choice. I turned my face, making his lips land on my cheek.Every part of me was screaming something different, my heart, my head, my body. They were telling me to give in. But I couldn't.“No,” I whispered, placing my hand gently but firmly on his chest.Silvano pulled back from me and his eyes opened.“I can't,” I looked him up in the eyes.He didn’t look angry nor did he pull away further. He just looked still as he looked at me.A tense silence fell between us. I was afraid to even blink.Then he slowly stepped back, letting his hand drop from my neck and body.“Alright,” he said, his voice low.He nodded once, like he was grounding himself. “I was out of line. Sorry.”That surprised me more than anything.“I will give you space,” he added before turning away, and walking out of the kitchen, leaving me standing there. Was that it? He wasn't going to ask me why I didn't let him kiss me? He didn't e

Grace Pov He held my gaze for like 5 seconds before he looked away as if he didn't know me. Wow. Just wow.He is ignoring me too. What was wrong if he acknowledged me and introduced me to his date?I tore my eyes off him and looked at my plate.My dessert was almost finished, so I finished it and pushed the plate away from me. “Should we leave now?” Giovanni asked and I nodded. I would have loved to hang around more and enjoy my night out but my mood was spoiled already.“Okay,” he said and rang the waiter. The waiter gave him the bill and he gave his card. After a few seconds, the waiter came back to give him his card and we both stood up.Giovanni came around me, putting a hand on my back as we both left the restaurant, but not without me stealing a glance at Silvano and his date.We got to the car and Giovanni opened the door for me but I didn't enter, I only dropped my bag inside the car.“Can we go for a walk? Dinner is always perfect with a night stroll,” I said and he tho
