Gianna Goes Missing

(A/N: This chapter contains abusing words and mild violence, proceed at your own risk.)

Gianna was very surprised when she heard a woman's voice openly insulting her. She soon realized that the woman was not alone.

"Yeah you're right, you know, our family was going to offer our daughter's hand for marriage as proposal for Xavier Moretti, who knew this sl.t would manage to flirt and manipulate him into bringing her to this important event which is limited to only close relatives and businessmen associated with the family!" Another woman exclaimed shamelessly, without caring about Gianna's feelings.

"I don't even know what Xavier saw in this blind doll, she seems like a beautiful flower which would wilt in just a while!" All the women gathered started laughing.

"I have heard many models and businesswomen have wanted to have a relationship with him, but he was just so hard to reach, how the hell this b.tch managed to bewitch his mind!?" The ladies continued to gossip and trigger Gianna. Gianna started trembling in embarrassment and disgust for her disability. Still she mustered her courage and stood up, she focused where the voice was coming from and strode towards them. When she reached near them, they got silent, yet they smirked and scoffed.

"I apologize to interfere in your conversation, but I think you're being very rude by talking about me in front of me like this." Gianna exclaimed politely yet sternly.

"Like we care. What'll you even do if we talk even more about you b.tch?" A woman exclaimed and scoffed.

"First you should clean your eyes and look at your position, then talk to us, you rag-doll." A young woman around Gianna's age commented while looking at Gianna disgustingly and jealously.

"Oops! Dear, you forgot, she's blind! She can't clean her eyes, even if she does so, it's useless for her! She's a blind wh.re I tell you" All the ladies started laughing at her.

"Please, I'm requesting you for the last time, stop insulting me like this, I'm not how you guys are trying to portray me. Please stop being rude to me... what would all of you do if you were in my position? I don't mean to insult you in any manner, but I don't like the way you all are insulting me." Gianna exclaimed a bit loudly by standing up for herself, gaining the attention of some groups. Soon Xavier and others realized the ruckus and were coming near the site, but it was late for everyone.

A woman got so angry that she gave a tight slap on Gianna's face making her fall on the ground. What the women didn't knew was, everything was being recorded by someone since the start of their drama.

"How dare you b.tch! Don't you dare cross your limits, you don't know who I am! You dare to teach me manners!? If I was in your position, I would have sat in a corner of some hospital and not some elite party, I can't believe how Mr. Xavier Moretti even decided to bring you in as his partner!!" The woman roared in anger, Xavier and others reached near them and were shocked to see Gianna lying on the ground with a hand on her cheek to hide the swelling and redness due to the slap. Xavier soon rushed to pick her up, but Gianna shook his hand away. He was surprised when she did so. Looking this, Amelia went near her and tried to hold her arm to pick her up, but Gianna slapped her hand away too.

"No one will touch me!" Gianna shouted and slowly got up by herself, her tears had already begun streaming down her face, but she cared less about her tears but more about her dignity and self-respect at that moment. Xavier ordered the guards to drag out the guests who insulted her, but Gianna held a hand in the air to stop him from doing anything. Xavier had this guilt stricken frown on his face, for the first time in his life he was feeling helpless, he had this huge urge to shoot the minds out of those people with his gun. He clenched his fist in anger, controlling his temper so that Gianna could stay longer with them, but Gianna was ignoring him sadly.

All the guest who had gathered started engaging themselves in talk again and dispersed from the scene. She felt it was worthless to stay in a place where there was no respect for her. Grace tried to console her and Brinley tried to convince her to stay but...

"Brinley... congratulations on getting engaged, I wish you and your family happiness throughout your life. May god bless you." Gianna patted her head once and took her hand and kissed the back of her hand. Gianna was taught by her mother to do this action for those whom she genuinely wishes luck and happiness. Brinley's eyes filled in tears, but Gianna smiled sadly, she knew she might have tears, so she wiped away the unshed tears for her.

"Be happy on your big day, and I'm sorry for creating a scene... I truly didn't have any intention to do so..." Gianna said, and more tears started flowing from her blank eyes. She gave Brinley a small paper bag before turning to leave.

"Gianna...! Please don't go... I can punish them for you!" Xavier said making her stop in her track.

"You don't have to do such things, I don't want to sue them, maybe what they said was true, I don't deserve you, forget me." Gianna said and in a fast pace, she left from the hall. Brinley opened the paper bag and in there was a cute couple crystal ball in wedding costume. Brinley smiled looking at the gift, she pressed a small button and a soft melody started playing, and the couple inside the crystal ball, started revolving and waltzing.

"I swear, I want to smash these women's eyeballs and butts!!" Amelia growled in anger.

"Don't worry Amelia, I won't disappoint your fantasy to come true." Xavier said in a cold voice. He called his head of security and ordered him to come inside the hall with some men. They came in a few minutes and caught hold of all the women who were involved, some were married and some had boyfriends, so obviously the men involved in relationships with them are also going to face the wrath of Xavier. Adam held Brinley close, in his arms and consoled her by patting her back.

Amelia decided to leave too, in search of Gianna as she couldn't possibly go home alone. Derek escorted her till the main gate of entrance of the venue. But Amelia found that Gianna was nowhere to be seen. She looked worriedly at Derek, and he realized why she suddenly looked so scared and shocked.

"A-Amelia... don't worry she must've walked a little further from here or h-hailed a taxi maybe?" Derek stuttered as he tried to calm the impatient Amelia, he knew would come out soon enough.

"MAYBE!? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE AND HOW SHE WENT AWAY!?" Amelia shouted and Derek rubbed his hair sighing as he didn't know how to handle this situation. Amelia facepalmed and took a deep breath. Xavier soon came out and noticed Amelia standing idly in the middle of the entrance.

"Where's Gianna?" He asked her, but she turned and glared at him in response.

"If I knew where she was, I would have left ages ago!" Amelia gritted her teeth while saying.

"What do you mean? Where did she go?" Xavier asked again and looked at Derek, but he just shrugged in response.

"F.CK! DAMMIT!" Xavier exclaimed and ran inside to get his car keys. He grabbed Derek's car keys too. He gave the car keys to him and ordered him to go with Amelia to find her if she was walking away somewhere. Not only that, but he himself called his mafia headquarters and ordered his men to spread throughout the city in search of her. He called investigators he knew and came into action himself as he drove across all the streets near the venue to search her presence but in vain.

Why? Because as soon as she came out of the entrance of the venue and walked a few distances away from the venue, she got kidnapped by getting dragged inside a back van.

They stuffed a handkerchief in Gianna's face which was drenched with chemical, making her lose consciousness. The men taped her mouth, hands and feet together and dragged her inside a basement of their building.

Xavier was informed by the staff and security guards that she got kidnapped by some men in black van, the van had no number plate and their face were also not much visible due to black cloth mask they were wearing, she got kidnapped after leaving the venue. Xavier slammed his hand on the stirring wheel and sighed in frustration.

Amelia and Derek were also searching for Gianna, but they couldn't find any clue of her disappearance. Amelia became very emotional and started crying and sniffing loudly.

"Waahhh...! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have left her alone...*sniff* *sniff*" Amelia wailed and cried loudly. Derek smiled helplessly and took out a tissue box and offered it to her. It was his first time seeing her cry helplessly and hopelessly, but he couldn't make fun of her and tease her because it was a very hard situation for her and everyone who cares about Gianna.

Derek always thought that Gianna was kind, pure and very decent kind of woman, and she was barely suitable for a mafia leader like Xavier as she might become a weakness for him or make things hard for the Moretti family, but now his feelings had changed, the time he spent with Allen family, made him realize that they were not weak, they had strong hearts and could survive any situation. But this situation was different, even he felt weak even though he belongs to a mafia family.

"Don't worry Amelia, I swear we'll make the lives of those women hell as they insulted not only Gianna but also the Moretti family by laughing on our choices of our life-partners." Derek exclaimed. Soon after some while Amelia calmed down and focused on saving her sister as the first priority.
