Gianna's Anger

Brinley sighed for the hundredth time, and stared at the wall clock hanging in her room. It was 2:30AM at night! Adam was very, very, very late! Brinley huffed and banged the pillow she was holding on the wall clock. He had promised to meet her today, and give her some kind of gift, but he was nowhere to be found! She had called his assistant thrice and company twice, but she got no specific response."Hmph! Could have at least sent me a message, that I'm busy, or I can't come today! But, no!" Brinley pouted and looked at the clock again. She groaned and switched off the table lamp and lights, before going to sleep. She was staring blankly at the ceiling, and soon sleep took over.It was exactly 5:15AM, when Adam returned from his business meeting tour. He was very tired, but he couldn't stop himself from visiting his fiancée. He silently opened the door, and saw a pillow lying on the floor just below the wall clock, he silently stifled his laughed and picked up the pillow. He placed it beside Brinley and softly rubbed her forehead and hair which were falling on her face, his hand stiffened when Brinley stirred a little, but went back to sleep. He sighed in relief, and placed a small velvet box on the bedside table with a letter, on top of it. He laid down beside her, and stared at her sleeping face for straight half an hour or so, he smiled when he noticed her smile in her sleep. It was the best moment in his life, he wished if he could watch this scene, for the rest of his life.Adam stood up from her bed, he gently kissed her forehead and was about to leave, when she held his wrist in an instant. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at him silently."Brinley? When did you wake up? Forget it, go back to sleep, I'll talk with you in the morning." Adam said in a low tone, and held her hand which was holding his wrist. "I woke up just now. Why are you so late? Why are you leaving me?" Brinley asked rapidly."I was in a business tour, my meeting got over late, and then I was preparing documents in the office, so I got here late, I'm sorry love." Adam said in a guilty tone."I'll scold Fratello for you, in the morning! Because of him, your workload has increased a lot!" Brinley huffed."No, don't please. Let him enjoy the preparations of his wedding, after all it is a once-in-life real experience." Adam said, and Brinley nodded slowly in approval. Her eyes suddenly fell on the box on the bedside table. She picked up the letter and velvet box."No, open it when I leave." Adam said, but he knew his little stubborn cat won't listen to him. She pouted and opened the box, she saw a beautiful chain with infinity diamond pendant. "This...? It's gorgeous... but why suddenly a gift?" Brinley vaguely asked before opening the letter. Adam gulped and took a step back. Brinley read the whole thing and shot daggers at him in an instant."You...! I look like a koala to you!?" Brinley stood up with a pillow in her hand and spanked it on his face, making him laugh."Dare to laugh at me!?" Brinley was about to smack him again with the pillow, but he ducked down and took another pillow from the bed. Hence, pillow fight war began. The letter-Dear Love,

You're my favorite person to annoy, but also my favorite person to love. Brinley, I am going to miss you a lot, so accept this compensation for the time we're going to be away from each other. You're like a koala bear stuck to my heart, and I don't want to let you be away from me, but due to some new business deals and meetings, I have to leave for Dubai once again for five months. Can you bear these five centuries without me? I bet not. So I'll come to visit you whenever I have time.

Yours one and only handsome future husband,

~Adam.

After the pillow fight ended, Brinley silently hugged Adam tightly, cherishing her last moments with him, as he was about to leave in the afternoon. Adam patted her head, he could feel her tearing up at that moment, but he let her cry out, after all, shedding tears can relieve some stress and pain.They both separated and smiled at each other, he kissed her forehead. She pouted when he only kissed her forehead, he saw this and laughed once again, she never stopped making him laugh when he was with her. He captured her lips for a kiss and tugged her lower lip teasingly, she moaned a little and kissed him back, their tongues swirling with each other in a perfect rhythm.He finally let her lips go, and she hugged him for a final time. Before he left for packing his important documents and receive some files from Xavier.---In the evening-Amelia came to Moretti Mansion, to meet her sister. Gianna was very happy to finally meet her. Amelia noticed that Charlie was now finally hanging out again with Gianna. Looks like his anger has faded in the air, once she was back beside him.Amelia was strangely silent, which Gianna found very suspicious and scary. "Ami? Is everything okay? Did something happen in university? Are you out of cash or something?" Gianna threw many questions in fear. Amelia sighed."Anna... the University is hosting a big carnival on the weekend of next week." Amelia informed her, she got even more confused, what was there to be sad about hosting a carnival?"So? Why are you so sad? Are you in short of expenses? I can arrange it for-""No, no Anna. It's something else... I am sad because Derek is going to Norway for his further studies, after he stopped me countless of times from going to the club events, and being around me since many months, I have realized I have feelings for him." Amelia confessed and took a deep breath. Gianna smiled warmly and patted her head in encouragement, showing, she has no objections about her feelings towards him."You know... I am actually involved with some clubs... like strange clubs..." Amelia said in a low voice.'I think this is the right moment to reveal everything.' Amelia thought in her head."Oh? It's good that you're trying to socialize, I have heard socializing helps in building vocal skills, working skills and leadership abilities." Gianna said and smiled proudly."Uhm... not that kind of club... it's an underground boxing club, which organizes boxing fights and rich people bet on fighters for their fun and thrill." Gianna's smile faded away in a second, and she clenched the hem of her dress tightly."So you're betting on fighters, and now you're in debt or something?" Gianna asked in suspicion."No... I'm sorry Anna, but I'm the one who fights in the boxing rings, but I swear-!"*SLAP* Gianna slapped Amelia very hard on her cheek, and Amelia winced in pain as she held her slapped cheek. "Since when is this going on!?" Gianna screamed on top of her lungs. She has never been this angry with her sister before, but today hell has broken down."It has b-been two, a-and a half year." Amelia whispered while sniffing and controlling her tears which were threatening to fall down."WHAT!? Do you even know, you were a child at that age, a mere 17 years old girl!? You dare to hide such things from me for this long!?" Gianna shouted in rage and tears were flowing down her cheeks as she was seething in anger."I swear to god, I never participated in any fight, until I was 18, but I had to train myself so, yeah... I had to join the club early.""Do you even know what rubbish you're spouting right now!? You think this is normal!?" Gianna shouted at her. The door was slightly ajar, so Xavier heard Gianna shouting when he was about to go to find her."Gianna? Are you okay?" Xavier asked as soon as he entered her room. He saw Amelia holding her red cheek and Gianna standing and seething in anger. Xavier rushed towards her to hold her by her shoulder, but Gianna freed herself away from his hold. She went towards her bed and started searching for something. Amelia stood still in her place, guilty about her acts. Gianna groaned as she hit her foot by the edge of the bed but still she bent down to pick up the cane she was searching for.She went back towards Amelia, Gianna sensed her standing still with sniffing sounds. Gianna bit her lower lip and wiped her tears away, and raised the cane in her hand.*HIT*"I knew you were up to no good when you would show up home with bruises, wounds and ointment smell! Who do you think I am!! *HIT* I am your elder sister! I was the one who took care of you since childhood!! Do you have no shame, hiding such thing from me!!"*HIT* Gianna screamed and hit the cane she was holding on Amelia thrice while speaking. Xavier caught hold of the cane, when Gianna was about to hit Amelia again. Derek and Grace came running inside the room, when they heard the commotion coming from Gianna's room."Calm down, Gianna... Let her explain, give yourself some time to breath, you're out of breath already." Xavier said, trying to sooth the fumes rising in her head."I swear, I never g-got severely hurt, doing these wild sports, I'm actually very thrilled, but if you are against it, I will never set my f-foot near any such activities. Anna... I-I'm sorry, hit me as much as you want, b-but please... don't be angry with me for long." Amelia begged Gianna while stammering in guilt. Gianna couldn't stop crying, but she stood firm on her ground, not ready to forgive her this soon. Xavier threw away the cane in the corner of the room, and brought Gianna into his arms, he hugged her and rubbed her back, to sooth her breathing down."Shh... calm down..." Xavier whispered."What happened? Why is Gianna not in good condition?" Grace asked Xavier and Amelia. Amelia looked down on the ground."Nothing Mom, I'll let you know later, take Amelia out for some while, Gianna you have to calm down first, you have to think calmly and not take out all your anger, and then hurt yourself in the process." Xavier said in a stern voice. Grace took Amelia out of the room, holding her back. Grace's eyes softened when she saw Amelia looking behind her back again and again in worry about her sister."Tell me, what happened between you and her?" Xavier asked her cautiously, when he saw her calm down a little. Gianna told him everything, from her sensing wounds and ointment smell in past, and her taking part in dangerous illegal activities."Well intentionally or unintentionally, she was completing two goals by doing these things." Xavier said in conclusion, making Gianna confused."What do you mean?" "First, she was earning her pocket money from those fights, and second she was engaging herself in activities she desires and gets those adrenaline rush from." Xavier said and Gianna got lost in thoughts."You mean... she enjoys dangerous tasks?" Xavier hummed in approval."But... it's not good for her to do such things and on top of that she hid these things from me, since a very long time!" "Would you have allowed her, if she had told you?" Xavier enquired, Gianna shook her head and sighed."How about, I let her join my mafia?" Xavier asked suddenly, making Gianna gasp in shock."NO!" Gianna shouted."Just think about it, and you don't need to worry, she can work behind the scenes and I'll ensure her safety all the time. This way she can earn and fulfill her desires at the same time without getting involved with dirty gang leaders betting on fighters and lusting around the female fighters." Gianna thought for a while and nodded in approval."But on one condition, she has to work behind the scenes." Gianna said and Xavier approved her condition.Xavier talked with Amelia as soon as he left from the room, and Amelia's smile returned when she heard his proposal of joing his mafia. She agreed in a second without any thought.Derek stood there silently, before turning and going back to his room. Amelia was observing him the whole time and got sad when she got no reaction from him and left from there as if it didn't mattered to him, what she decided.Amelia sat sadly in the guest room, and wondered how would she convince Gianna and Derek to forgive her.----
