Dark Paradise

𝐺 𝐴 𝐵 𝑅 𝐼 𝐸 𝐿 𝐿 𝐴I was afraid of showing my emotions.Afraid that they will take advantage of me so instead I turned my pain into power. I built a wall around myself, pushing away the people that tried to break through.I was young when I lost everything. People pitied me and I hated that.I showed them that I didn't want to be saved but deep down I knew I was lying to myself. I wanted to go somewhere and scream as loud as I could. I wanted to pull my heart out and burn it and be heartless.I was afraid of being destroyed by someone but what I didn't know was that, I was slowly destroying myself.People feared me and thought I had it all, I did but it wasn't enough.Everyone had someone to turn to during their darkest days. I had no one.All I ever wished for was for someone to put me in bed and stroke my hair telling me that everything will be okay. That I don't have to be strong all the time.I thought love was something that made you weak.I thought it was stupid.That is

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON "Kill him," I demand my men beside me."Wai-wait I can still get you the cocaine, please just give me more time," Alex states while he lays on the ground."So you're saying that you can get me. My fucking thirty-five balls of cocaine that you stole. In twenty-four hours?" I question this idiot as I rolled my sleeves up."Y-yes." He stutters."Hmm, you were one of my finest buyers." I calmly shrug. "But this time Alex, this one time you chose to fuck up my trust," I say licking my lips, grabbing my blade off the table full of weapons.I slowly approach Alex while I carefully stroke my fingers on the sharp blade. "Stand up," I instructed him with a pressing tone. He slowly grips onto his knees for help to push himself up when he's about to reach my level he quickly collapses onto the bloody concrete floor."Aiutalo." I dictate my men. [translation: Help him.]They quickly rush up to Alex, aggressively pulling him up from the ground. He groans from the sudden pain.

POV - GIOVANNI CARSON I woke up to a harsh light blinding me. I looked to my side and noticed that the bed was empty.She's gone."Merda."Pinching the bridge of my nose. My mind drifted to that woman.I would have killed her right then and there but...FUCK! This is embarrassing, I've killed thousands and never in my life have my enemies been one step ahead of me. I might have missed something.This is bad, really bad.I climbed off the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I splash cold water onto my face then stare at my reflection, anger boiling my blood.Idiota!I release my anger by punching the mirror in front me, it shatters into a million pieces.I just made the worst mistake and I regret it.- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - -I glared at Luca as he tried to catch his breath, blood dripping from his lips onto his white tank top."Again." I said as I wiped away the beads of sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand.Luca swung a punch towards my head instinctively I blocked it with my

POV - GABRIELLA SANGRIENTO "Idiot." I scoff to myself as I bring the cigarette that's in between my index and middle finger closer to my lips. I suck in a breath of the toxins and exhale it through my nostrils causing a burning sensation.Whenever I saw Giovanni's face I wanted to slit his throat or rip his clothes off and do inappropriate things with him.I roll my eyes as I flick the end of the cigarette to reduce the ash that's pilling up. I sigh to myself as I shift in the bathtub trying to find a comfortable position to be in. Before I could stop myself, my mind drifted off to the delicious anticipation of being skin to skin with him once more. I bite my bottom lip as I feel my area ache for his touch.I clear my throat, bringing myself back to reality. That's enough of relaxing. I step out of the bathtub and take my towel from the hanger to cover my naked body. I walk out of the bathroom and my body is soaking wet leaving trails of water droplets on the floor. I walk into my h

POV - LUCA RODRIGUEZ "How many are there?" Enzo questioned as he cocked his gun."Surprisingly there are only seven. Three snipers and four ground shooters." I said. "Giovanni is trapped in his office and Annah is wounded." I told Enzo.Enzo brushed his curly hair back then stopped walking. "I'll get Giovanni." He said.I nodded my head and walked away. "Be careful." Enzo yelled.Enzo might be a annoying but his like a brother to me. We always have our up's and downs however we will always have each other's back. The first time we met was when we had a mission together, It was intense and very fun so we started hanging out and here we are. He hasn't had a lover before and doesn't have an interest in girls. Sometimes I think his gay. But it's not my business to jump into conclusions. I climbed a couple of stairs then turned the corner, when I passed a couple of gang members I noticed that they were headed to the weapons room.When I reached outside and turned right. My wrist was
