“I knew. From the first time I saw you. I was in love with you. And you knew. But they didn’t know, did they? That’s why they had to die. I get it now. That’s what you needed from me, to show them that it's just us.”
A loud bang sounded from somewhere in the warehouse and my head snapped towards the door.
“OLIVIA!” A loud male voice boomed.
“Gio!” Livvy shouted back and I slammed my hand over her mouth, putting my finger to my lips. I peered down into her wide, beautiful eyes and I saw the answer. This was my final test. Once I killed him, we could be together. She would be mine.

Olivia
He is fucking unhinged! He has truly lost the plot. He is so much more dangerous now than he ever was before. This isn’t just about his ego or possessiveness. I can see the craziness in his eyes. He believes his own lies. He believes I want this. That I want him. There is no way out.
I whimpered as he continued to stroke my hair and stare into my eyes as he spouted his insanity. He was either going to kill me or keep my hostage forever. I know which one was worse.
“OLIVIA!”
My heart flipped and relief flooded through every cell in my body when I heard his voice. He’d found me.
“Gio!” I managed to shout just before Henry slammed his cold hand over my mouth. He raised his finger to his lips as my muffled cries fell against his hand.
“Olivia!” Gio shouted again, his voice was deep and aggressive as he grew closer to our hiding place. Henry grabbed a T-shirt and wrapped it around my head to stuff my mouth as he stood up and started rummaging in a duffel bag. I watched in horror as he pulled out a large knife and smiled at me with excitement.
I tried to scream but the fabric in my mouth restricted any noise from flooding the room as Henry stalked over to the door and stood against the wall. I watched with wide eyes as Henry winked at me and got in a fighting stance. Gunshots were suddenly fired at the lock on the door and, in one powerful bang, Gio had kicked the door in. He saw me first lying on the bed, my hands tied above my head and my mouth gagged as I tried to scream at him to watch out. As soon as he stepped into the room towards me, Henry pounced forwards, knife in the air ready to attack, but Gio sensed him coming and dodged out of the way at the last minute.
All I could do was watch on in horror, my heart in my throat as Henry turned and sized Gio up. The look on Giovanni’s face was one I had never seen before. He looked lethal. Henry jumped forward, attempting to stab Gio once again, but Gio grabbed Henry’s outstretched arm and dislocated his shoulder so forcefully, Henry fell to his knees crying out in pain. I heard the pop that sent a shiver through my body as Gio let go and Henry held his shoulder with his other hand, the knife clattering to the floor. Gio smirked as he grabbed a handful of Henry’s hair and punched him so powerfully in the face that Henry fell back on the floor. But Gio didn’t stop there. He kicked him in the stomach numerous times and then once in the face, causing Henry’s body to twist on the filthy floor and blood to pour from his nose and mouth.
“You are no match for me, you sick fuck,” Gio spat as he pulled out his gun and shot Henry in one of his thighs. “So, you can’t run away.”
Nik came waltzing into the room and yanked Henry up as he screamed in pain, dragging him out as Gio ran over to me, pulling the top from out my mouth as the tears were flooding down my face. He got to work untying my hands as I whimpered and sobbed. As soon as my hands were free, I sat up and flung myself into his arms. He held me so tightly against his chest.
“Did he hurt you? It’s okay bambola. I’m here. He will never hurt you again. It’s over.”
“No. No, I thought I was going to- I thought I would never- “
“I know. I know. You’re safe now. I promise.” He lifted me up swiftly, cradling me in his arms as he carried me out of the abandoned warehouse and to a car. I hid my face in his chest when I heard Henry shouting my name from the car he had driven me here in.
“Stai zitto quel cazzo di bocca!” Gio shouted over to Nik. Suddenly, Henry’s shouts were muffled and Gio placed me down in the front seat of a car.
“I will be right back,” he said softly when I gripped his arm tightly as he tried to walk away. I nodded slowly as he stepped back and closed the door. I watched as he walked over to the wedding car and opened the boot. Both Gio and Nik dragged Henry out and threw him into the boot before slamming it shut. Gio said something to Nik before he walked back over to the car and climbed into the driver's seat. He reached for my hand and squeezed it.
“What is going to happen to him? Where are you taking him?” I asked as he pulled out of the woodland and back onto the main road.
“My yacht. I will deal with him later. First, I need you to be okay.”
I looked down at his hand on my lap and realised it was shaking. His whole body was shaking. My heart ached as I realised how traumatic that was for me but also how it must have been for him. He needs me just as much as I need him. This is how we worked. We were each other’s lifeline.
“Pull the car over,” I ordered, wiping the dried tears away from my face.
“What?” He looked at me with utter confusion.
“Pull the car over. Now,” I said more sternly, and he swerved to the side of the road. I opened the door and climbed out, walking to his side of the car as he slid out the driver’s side.
“Liv- what are you- “
I jumped up into his arms, wrapping my own around his neck and my legs around his waist as I held onto him like my life depended on it. His beautiful brown eyes widened as he held me tightly and I lowered my head until our lips met. The passion, love and relief exploded inside me as our lips parted against each other and I felt his tense body melt with mine. He pushed me up against the car door as our kiss became frantic with emotion and his hands explored my body as mine weaved through his hair. It was a kiss that could have lasted a lifetime and I would have died happy. When we finally broke away out of breath, he rested his forehead against mine and a single tear slid down his cheek.
“I was so scared, Liv. I thought I had lost you,” he whispered, and my heart felt like it was being squeezed inside my chest.
