Gianna MarinoI walked back to my desk and the first person to check on me was my work friend. She sat down beside me, her expression asking all the questions."So, how was your first outside job?" She asked with a smile on her face.I shrugged and opened up my laptop."Not bad I guess." I replied and she nodded."You must have nailed it then." She assumed from my reply."Yeah, you can say that. Although my client wanted to give me a hard time. Said something like she didn't believe that I was sent by the boss and you had to see her face when I showed her boss's signature on the paper." I chuckled.She also laughed with me."Some clients can be a handful.""Clearly." I agreed and slowly, my smiley face morphed into a serious one.My friend noticed it and her face got curious subconsciously.She leaned in closely. "Is anything the matter?" She asked and I cast her an apologetic glance."I'm sorry Vee, I'll be leaving this office and clocking in to that one starting from tomorrow." I br

Alessio Giordano It's been two days since I last set my eyes on Gianna and I began to feel her absence. Although I spent the two days telling myself that I didn't but I called her name when I needed something or when I wanted to make enquiries.I would hop into my car in the morning and wait for her to come join me in the car."Are you waiting for someone?" My driver once asked me when he saw me glancing at my wrist watch and looking out the car window.I nodded."Yes.""Who are you waiting for sir?" He asked politely. "My secretary." I replied and he looked surprised by my reply."She already left for work sir, I saw her leave early this morning." He informed me and then it hit me that she was no longer resuming work with me.I didn't care at first, I wasn't supposed to care but I did. I was disturbed about her."What's wrong?" Matteo asked me when he walked into my office and saw me in a serious position, hands beneath my jaw, thinking."You list some money?" He asked, taking a s

Gianna Marino"Where are you going?"Alessio asked me the next morning when I hung my bag on my shoulder and went to meet him to let him know I was going to the company but his question left me speechless.I opened my mouth to speak but he didn't let the words come out of my mouth, he spoke first."If you think I am going to let you go to that place after what they did to you yesterday then you better go back to your seat and find something else to keep yourself busy with."I swallowed hard. "But she didn't believe that I work for you." I tried to speak for them but it seemed like it was the wrong thing to do.He shot me a glance that made me question all my life decisions.Just a glance, no words."Now she knows. She has to come here and beg for it before I give it to her." He was adamant but I was scared and he didn't want to see things from my own point of view.Beatrice could stay back because she wants the company to go bankrupt and she wants to get back at me."If she doesn't ge

Gianna Marino"Do you have a death wish?" Alessio asked the man who he now held by his collar, who was struggling for breath.Alessio remained calm and unmoved but the man struggled to escape Alessio's tight grip.Tension rose in the air and I could feel the fear they had for Alessio thick in the room."She's mine. Next time won't be this pleasant." He whispered calmly, even the calmness of his voice was scary."I swear, I won't try it again." The man begged for his life and Alessio finally shoved him aside, leaving his collar while the man stumbled to the ground.Alessio turned to me, his face cold and expressionless and his gaze was any other place but on me."Follow me." He said and turned to the already scared crowd."She is my representative." He blurted to the crowd, catching me unawares in the process."Any one who messes with her will have me to deal with first. You must treat her with respect like you would treat me. Lastly, if something of this sort ever happens again," he s

Alessio Giordano"If you are angry about my decision for you not to go to the company then you better get over it. I will not let anyone disrespect you while working for me. They have to show me that they want my help." My voice was final.She was still looking away when the lights came on and she almost jerked up. I think my closeness had something to do with that.My eyes scanned her face, it was pale and her skin was smooth and soft. It was calling me to feel it, to pull her close to me. She looked so fragile like she would break any minute."Uhmm..." she shifted her gaze, blinking severally."I don't bite Gianna. You can act normal around me." She developed the strange attitude of being scared and uncomfortable around me and as I didn't mind other people doing that, I was concerned that she was acting that way.My phone vibrated in my pocket the minute the elevator resumed humming again.I picked it up and was told that my attention was needed at the pack and it was urgent.I pres

Gianna Marino The next day, I resumed work as usual. Cleaned my desk and settled down waiting for tasks for the day when one of the security personnel walked up to me."Excuse me ma, there are two women outside. They said they are here to see the boss." "Did they say their names?" I asked as per procedure. On a normal note, no one was allowed to see Alessio unless they had an appointment with him. But it didn't look like that since he didn't inform me about it that day."They are from the Marino company." He replied.My eyes widened.Had they finally come to beg for Alessio's mercy and intervention?It was quicker than I thought."Okay, let them in. I will inform him about it now." I walked into Alessio's office while he walked away."What do you want?" Alessio asked before I could shut the door behind me."I.. the security officer told me that two women from my father's company are here." "Let them in." He replied curtly and shifted his gaze back to the tablet before him.As I op

Chapter 27

Gianna MarinoI turned around and saw that Alessio was following me."Gianna!" He called, running after me.My legs halted even though I wanted them to keep on moving."What do you want? Why can't you be with your fiance and leave me be?" I asked out of frustration.Why couldn't they just leave me be? I wasn't stopping them from being together so why would Ivy make me her problem?Alessio halted when he got to where I stood but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at my face like he was looking for something.Bruises maybe, hand marks, maybe. I couldn't wait for him to check how much damage his fiance had caused to my face, I lashed at him."All I want is to find justice for my father. I don't care about your relationship with whoever. We can never be together so why should I care? Why don't you tell her to let me be? I have a lot on my plate already! I just want to find the culprit!!" I yelled out of anger.Not minding if I leaked any secret I'd been guarding like it was my ess

Chapter 28

Gianna Marino I barely slept through the night so I was up before morning the next day.I already had my bag packed for work, all I needed to do was freshen up and head to work. And that was what I did.Before 7am, I was fully prepared for work. I hung around my room waiting for 7am on the dot before leaving the house so it wouldn't seem too early.I hauled a cab and slid into the back seat after communicating my location. I had a plan and it was; using work to keep myself so busy so that I won't be able to think about Alessio or his sassy fiance The moment the cab stopped me in front of my father's company, I forgot about Alessio and all I could think of was Beatrice and Cassie. They were not the best people to think about but it was better to have them in mind than to have the poker-faced Alessio Giordano in mind.I strutted into the company around 7:30am and it was just like I expected, the place was empty. Not a single staff was seen around the premises. What if a client neede

Gianna Marino "Hello stranger." He greeted me with a surprised expression on his face."What are you doing here?" I askedHe scoffed at my question. "I won't be wrong to ask the same question. This is where I work." He replied My mouth formed an "O" The previous day, while we were talking, I had no idea where he was working.We only talked about how strenuous working for an organisation could be, we didn't tell which organisation it was.Now, standing before him, I should've asked."You work here?" I asked, even though I'd heard him correctly the first time."Yup, I do. But I had no idea the pretty lady I met at the other company was working here." He replied, smiling."Oh, umm..." I searched for words to reply to him with. It would be weird to begin to explain the situation to him.Telling him I was the daughter of the late CEO and I was there to take over my father's company was too much information and unnecessary. So I forced a smile and said, "My company sent me here as thei

Gianna Marino "I think we should leave now." I muttered with urgency, making him arch his brows."What? We just got here." "Uhm, I'm pressed. I'll be right back." I excused myself and walked towards the restroom, throwing my face in the opposite direction.I covered the side of my face with my palm, hoping that it wouldn't be too obvious for Alessio or Ivy to notice.When I got to the restroom, I placed my hands on the hand wash basin and stared at myself in the mirror.A thought sprang up in my mind as I looked at my reflection catching her breath."Why are you hiding from them?" I muttered suddenly, as though I'd snapped back to my senses. "It's not like you were doing something wrong, besides, you are old enough to meet up with men if you want to." I said to myself again, straightening my frame and squaring my shoulders."You've got this." I smoothed my dress and walked out of the restroom. Alessio and Ivy took the table before ours, my colleague was sitting cluelessly, glancin
