Captive Affair Chapter 29
Gianni had asked me to go somewhere with him.He was still injured, so I was surprised when we stepped out at one of the largest museums in town.I could see he was in pain from the way he winced every now and then as we walked around looking at the displays with my hand in his."Gianni, we should go back home so you can rest."He grinned from ear to ear, "You called it home. And no, I promised you a date, so you're getting a date."My heart sped up as I looked into Gianni's eyes. Why was I feeling such a strong connection between us? And why was it beginning to excite me? I found myself wanting to explore this further.I gave his hand a squeeze as we started walking around the museum, admiring the art.We made small talk and laughed together, and I was surprised that he was able to make me feel like we were the only two people there.My logical side was telling me I should have run when he had given me the option to. But even though a part of me felt this way, another part knew that

I walked into the study watching Gianni and his men going over their plan for the Morello family.The man who had been speaking stopped abruptly when I entered, but Gianni held out an arm towards me and I walked over to him."Everything okay?" He asked while pulling me to his side.I nodded and turned to look at the guns."Continue." Gianni demanded and the man glanced at me hesitantly before going on.I wanted to tell Gianni that Giovanni had called me, since Gianni had given me a phone he and his grandfather were the only ones to ever use my number.Giovanni had asked if I would like to go out for coffee and to see his boat. I quite enjoyed being around the old man so I had agreed, but I knew Gianni would appreciate if I ran it by him first.Luca was back so he would go with me, which made me feel a lot safer with everything going on.Luca was good at his job and he and I were beginning to form a friendship.I paid little attention to what was being said in the room until they bega

"How did it go today?" I asked Gianni as I walked into his study.He was sitting behind his desk and he sighed heavily before answering, "We did what we needed to convey our message. How did it go with my grandfather?"I sat on the edge of the desk near him, "He has a crush on the lady at the art studio. Bonnie?""I know. He has harboured this for years.""Well, I invited them both for dinner later this week. He just needs a little push, I hope you don't mind?"Gianni smiled, "You are finally beginning to treat this place as your home, how could I mind?" his eyes fell to the bracelet on my wrist, "Where did you get that from?""Oh, my mother was standing a few cars down and she gave it to me. It was really strange.""You do not speak of them much. When will I have the pleasure of meeting her?""I'm not sure if that's such a good idea.""Why? She doesn't have to move in, Gattina, I just want to meet your parents.""I'll think about it, okay? We aren't really on the best of terms.""She

I had been asleep by the time Gianni had come in, and I had pretended to be asleep when he had left for his meeting in the morning.I still wasn't sure how I wanted to handle the new information I had gotten, and I kept looking over at the clock hoping to figure it out before ten o'clock came around. Luca hadn't said much and I assumed that was due to my attitude, it was clear I had no intentions of talking.My actual plan was to find Talon and dog a little more, but I hadn't seen him since waking up.I knew the girls who worked for Gianni lived in one of the houses on the property, but I wasn't sure if Luca would let me speak to them. I didn't want to ask him and risk alerting him if he was going to try and stop me from getting to the bottom of things."I'm going for a walk in the garden. I need to think, so please don't follow me. There are more than enough guards here to ensure I don't run off."Luca nodded although it was clear he wasn't very happy with this.As I made my way thr

To say I was on edge would have been an understatement.We were on the yacht, out on the sea, only the two of us. And yet I kept looking over my shoulder as if I expected the FBI agent to show up out of nowhere. I was sitting on the padded bench near the barrier, staring out into the distance.Gianni looked over at me, "I'm sorry if I scared you earlier."I frowned over at him, pausing my train of thought, "What?""With how I reacted," he sighed and came over to crouch in front of me, "I know I can be a bit too much with my anger. I'm sorry if I scared you," he took a hold of my hands in his, "For as long as I can remember I have always earned respect by making people fearful of me. I don't want it to be that way with you, but sometimes I forget and my anger gets the better of me. Old habits die hard, I suppose."He was apologising to me? "Did you kill Theresa?" I could have slapped myself. I had no idea why I had blurted that out.He looked up at me with wide, shocked eyes, "What?"

I was sitting on my bed when my phone rang, I jumped in a panic when I realised it was the FBI agent who was calling. Somehow, I had hoped he would just go away."Hello?""Kinley, you answered, that's good. It's Agent King.""What do you want?""I need you to get me information. Gianni is having a meeting tonight, and our mole doesn't know if he will be privy to sitting in, so you will have to. I need you to record everything.""What? Are you crazy? If they find out I'm recording, they will kill me.""Don't worry about it, no one will find out. I'll make sure the mole gets a package to you. Add it to your outfit and that's all we need.""I suppose I don't have a choice in the matter?""You're a quick learner, I see. That's good, we will get along well then.""What if Gianni doesn't want to let me go with him?""You're practically glued to his side. He'll let you go."I cut the call without saying another word. It was making me angry and nauseas at the same time.I knew Gianni had a m

The loud music had become background noise. I was on my fourth or fifth drink and it still wasn't calming my nerves over tonight.I had discussed my ideas with the manager and she had loved them, but that little meeting was over quickly and I had gone to the bar area to drink while waiting for Gianni to arrive.I absentmindedly toyed with the necklace around my neck while glancing around the club. There was still no sign of Gianni anywhere in sight."Hey."I looked over at the young blond man greeting me, "Uh, hi.""I couldn't help but notice how worried you look. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be frowning like that."I scoffed, "Oh, buddy, you are so barking up the wrong tree."He laughed, "I'm trying to be friendly, what's the harm in that?""No harm, just yet. But I'm waiting for someone, so please don't get any ideas.""You've been here for hours, I think you've been stood up, sweet heart."I turned to glare at him, "Not that it's any of your business, but I own the place. And
Captive Affair Chapter 36
The officer had been kind enough to take my statement before dropping me off at the hospital.I had called Giovanni on the way over as well as Talon. I was sure I couldn't trust Talon, but I didn't know who else to call.I had also left a text for Luca.Giovanni pulled me into a tight hug as I walked over to him and Talon."Is he okay?" Was the only question I could muster. That was all that mattered to me in that moment. I just needed Gianni to be okay.Talon put a comforting arm over my shoulders, "He was shot four times. They've done a blood transfusion and he isn't awake yet.""Can I see him?" Please tell me I can see him.Talon looked over at Giovanni, "Kinley, there's something you need to know.""Oh dear God, what is it?" My heart began to race and my legs felt tingly. I could see by the look on both of their faces that they were about to tell me something I wouldn't like the sound of."Someone is in with him already... Billie. They have, um, history.""What? Gianni said he doe
