CHAPTER 63

"You didn't seriously think that I'll let you walk around without my ring on your finger.Did you?You conceived and had the Valetti heirs that alone made you mine already."His words shocked her even further."Right now you a walking target,there is no escaping this union or this life.Whether you accept it or not.You belong to me now."His gaze ran the length of her naked body,Brie blushed instead which made her more angry.

"You cannot do this to me Giovanni."She muttered."Marriage is a lifetime commitment.Which you cannot commit.Lord knows how many mistresses you have and is still going to have.I wi-...."

"I have never been with another woman since I first slept with you again."He cut over her."And I give you my word that I won't look or touch another woman except you."

Brie gave a harsh disbelieving laugh."Oh wow!And I guess I'm just suppose to believe you.You the God damn Mafia Don,it won't look good for your reputation if you remain with one woman."

"Like you just said.I'm the Mafia Don and my word is final.I don't give a fuck who says what....and whoever questions me will face death."His chilling words didn't leave room for doubt.

"Is that the reason why Paula came to take my measurements?"She questioned."It's for the wedding?"Instead of answering her,he stepped into the shower and indicated for her to join him but Brie just turned around and went back into the bedroom.She knows defying him probably won't end well but she's way past that point of caring.

Not when she is about to be married against her will...to a man that's more dangerous than any enemey out there who wants her. Sinking down on the bed,she wonders if she should go ahead with this circus of a wedding.The minute she runs from here every enemy of Giovanni will hunt her down,but if she stays she'll be his prisoner forever....it's up to her to decide which path she'll choose...

"Oh you looking so beautiful sis!"Ari exclaimed the next morning when she came into the room.She doesn't feel beautiful Brie thought,instead of being happy about this union all she feels is fear and dread for what's to come in the following years.Her life as she knows it....is doomed."It won't hurt to smile."

"What's there to smile about Ari."She said with a pitiful laugh."A life full of misery.I envy you for getting a chance to escape this life."

"Brie no."Her sister said."Don't think like that.Giovanni will take good care of you."

Brie scoffed."For how long?Until he finds a mistress that will be better than me.Then I'm better off without his care."

"Morning bitches!"Josh said as he stormed through the door."Oh wow!"He clasped his cheeks."You looking so beautiful, Giovanni won't know what hit him."Brie only turned away from Josh upon hearing his words."What's wrong Brielle."

"She thinks Giovanni will leave her once he finds someone better than her....not only that but this lifestyle is worrying her further."

"You need to have faith and trust in Giovanni."Josh told her.

"Easy for you guys to say since not one of you is getting married." She retaliated.

"Ouch!"Both Ari and Josh said.

"Sorry guys."Brie sighed."Thank you for your support and being here.Is everyone here already."

"Yes...all the uncles,aunts and cousins have arrived for this wedding."Ari answered."After all they are the ones who pressurized Giovanni into getting married."

"Now he pressurized me all because he got pressurized."

"Are you ready?"Paula asked coming in.No Brie thought... she'll never be ready but her cries will fall on deaf ears anyway.So instead of answering she just nodded her head and followed Paula.

Brie didn't pay attention to anything, not the decor,not the 200 guests that's present.All of which are Giovanni's family and some business associates.But she has to admit he is looking handsome in his burgundy three piece suit.It hugged him in all the right places.

After saying their vows they'll take a few pictures and then eat. Since there's still traitors around and given the fact that Giovanni doesn't trust half of his family,the whole wedding affair has been held at the farm house.There won't be a honeymoon because Giovanni has business to take care of and she soon learns that business he is taking care of....is him torturing his father.

It's not her place to ask questions but is Giovanni really about to kill his own father.She has met his uncles and she can tell that the Italian side of his family doesn't like her at all,they keep on giving her dirty looks especially the women.....not that she cares because she doesn't give a fuck about them and she'll never socialize with them too.

She has excused herself to go and change out of her wedding gown Ari had offered to help but Brie had told her no....she needs some time to herself...to recuperate and breathe so she can get her head back in the game.In their bedroom she chose a beautiful white tight fit body con dress,it sat on her like a second skin,hugging her in all the right places, especially her curves.

She reapplied her make up and decided to leave her hair loose, satisfied with her appearance she made her way over to the door only for it to burst open,Brie jumped back in fear but that fear soon died down when she saw it's Alana.... another one of Giovanni's conquest before she had come into the picture.

Bitch is the perfect way to describe her with that flimsy dress she has on."If it isn't Brielle Baker....or should I say Brielle Valetti."The sound of her voice is irritating Brie,more than she already is."I came to congratulate you."She said so sweetly.

"Thanks but I don't need it."Brie said making her way past the door only for Alana to grab her wrist,Brie ripped her hand away.

"Not even my gift."Alana asked,with a smirk on her face.

Brie didn't like that smirk on her face it gave her chills and before she could answer she felt a pinch at the side of her neck,she spun around to see Eduardo standing behind her,a syringe in his hand. "Goodnight."He said with a evil smile on his face.Everything went black after that.....

Giovanni....

"I can't find Brielle."Ari said rushing into his office,any other time he wouldn't bit her head off but hearing Brielle is missing has him out the door in record time."She isn't in her room and no one saw her leaving."

Giovanni's first stop is their bedroom,but like Arielle said she isn't here and the place is intact like he had last seen it."Lockdown. Now!"He ordered Rocco,when he made his way back downstairs. "No one leaves.No one."Who dares to take his queen in his house. It can't be Lorenzo because he is in his basement back at the mansion and his father is out of order for the time being.The rats has done a good job in feasting on him,slowly but surely he's dying.

He had instructed Tino to gather everyone in the main hall of the house it's big enough to accommodate them all.When they all are present he starts talking,calmly but deadly."One of you signed your death warrant when you chose to take my queen.Taking her means war.So I'll only ask once.Where the fuck is she!"The room fell silent no one spoke,Giovanni took out his guns that has his name and symbol engraved on it."I won't ask again."He said coldly taking off the safety from the gun."Every second one of you don't say something I'm gonna kill someone."

That caused the crowd to cower in fear,he can see dread spread across their faces and they should be afraid.How dare they think they can come on his territory and take what is his."There is no need for violence Giovanni."One of his uncles said."I'm sure she's around somewhere.Killing someone here will only start unwanted trouble and a war we don't need."

"I don't give a fuck!"He growled angrily."Every second that passes and she's not her I'm gonna kill you....all of you....until someone tells me where the fuck she is."

Whispers and murmurs began to break out,still no one said anything,just as he is about to shoot someone....Eduardo steps forward with a very satisfied smile on his face and a cigar in his mouth.Gio walked up to him,and pointed his gun right between his eyes."Kill me and she dies."He said smirking."That puttana (whore) means nothing to me."

Giovanni didn't think twice he hit Eduardo square on the jaw making the bastard fall down,next he bent down to his level and grabbed him by his throat, squeezing it.All Eduardo's men draw their guns and trained it on him but he doesn't care,he has more men power here."Where the fuck is she?!"He demanded squeezing his throat tighter,cutting of his air supply.

Gio didn't let go until he saw Eduardo is about to lose consciousness."I'll-...I'll..."Eduardo coughed out."Trade you.My daughter for your whore."Giovanni hit him again in his face this time blood spilled out of Eduardo's nose and mouth.

"My patience isn't so great Eduardo."Gio said shooting him in the leg."I don't negotiate with pigs.If she is so much as hurt.I swear to God I'll order an execution on your daughter's head."

Eduardo's eyes almost bulged out of his head."You took away my only heir!"He spat.

"She shouldn't have played a role in the kidnapping of my queen and neither should you have."Gio pointed his gun directly on Eduardo's eye."Where.Is.She."

"I don't know."He said, feigning ignorance but Giovanni will have none of his fake acting neither will he entertain this piece of scum any further.
