Gianna’s POV
GREG was in there, wrapped in her arms, kissing Beverly romantically.
I was devastated and heartbroken, I felt my heart shattered into thousands of pieces.
I halted on my tracks, cupped my palms over my mouth as the tears began subsiding endlessly.
“Greg???”, I called and he instantly disengaged from the kiss.
I instantly took to my heels running out of the party premises as I made to the dusk with my mind hurting so much.
“Gianna!! Wait up!!”, I heard different voices chasing after me but I kept running.
Greg’s POV
I and my men instantly chased after Gianna, not after glaring daggers at Beverly.
…Hours Later…
I angrily dragged Gianna down from the car.
“Let go of me”, she cried hiccuping loudly.
I dragged her upstairs, using a rope to tie her hands together.
“I hate you! And I wish to have nothing to do with you anymore. Kill me already, what the heck are you waiting for? Kill me!”.
“You are a cheat, a beast and a monster”, she yelped crying hard.
“You are mine!! And I will make you beg me to ride on you tonight! Don’t think of escaping from me ever again”, I muttered instantly tossing her like a rag doll to the bed.
Greg’s POV
I hated to hurt Gianna tonight, but I hate it whenever she tries escaping from me.
I watched as she slept off with a trace of dried tears on her cheeks while some unfallen tears hung around her eyelids.
I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her anymore, I just couldn’t, remembering my promise to Clemson.
“I’m sorry Gianna! I’m so sorry”, I apologized to the sleeping Gianna.
…Flashback…
Dragging Beverly out of the party hall, I let go of her the instant we were ears away from the party hall.
“What was that show you put on at the hall?”, I retorted angrily, “Gianna must be thinking otherwise”, I added.
“C’mon Greg, let’s get back together again, I’m sorry for what happened in the past”, she said, pouting.
“Nothing to be sorry about, get over it. You cheated on me and stole half of my money, and now you still have the guts to show your face to me? How thick skinned you are”, I mumbled.
“Let’s keep the past behind us… I love you Greg”, she uttered trying to kiss me and I pushed her away from me.
“Did you see me sitting with someone at the hall?”, I asked getting pissed already.
“Yes, but…”.
“She is my girlfriend, I’m gonna propose to her pretty soon, I love her Beverly and I don’t regret choosing her over you”, I cut through her.
“You aren’t fit for me”, I added.
“No! You can’t choose her over me, I’m famous, more influential than she is, she is only but some sort of low life without a powerful background, come on”, she yelped.
I smiled sarcastically.
“Don’t forget easily how I met you, you are now famous because of me, don’t forget that I can still make you the poor ugly Beverly you were before I met you”, I reminded her and I could see her eyes rolled over in horror.
It seems she doesn’t want to go back to being poor.
“You will do no such”, she yelled.
“Defy me and see”, I replied her.
“I love you Greg…”.
“You are nothing but a pathetic backstabber, don’t ever put up a show in front of Gianna ever again, don’t say you were not informed”, I told her sternly.
“Greg! I can’t live without you, please take me back”, she cried.
I turned around about walking back to the hall, since Gianna would be all alone, and Lionel and Jones already left to handle some stuffs, while Nelson went home to his new wife.
So I wanted going out of the garden when Beverly grabbed me by my shoulder, I turned around only to be taken aback with her warm lips, that tasted nothing like Gianna’s.
“What the heck are you doing? Don’t let anyone meet us this way especially Gianna”, I blurted angrily trying to push her away from me.
“We aren’t gonna be together anymore, so just give me a goodbye kiss, even if it is just for five seconds”, she pleaded.
“Fine your wish”, I replied as she kissed me more and I let her have her way, not pushing her away this time, although I was kinda worried about Gianna she might be thinking I had chosen Beverly over her, I was still lost in thought when I heard my name.
“G… Greg???”, She called, that was her sweet voice, no mistaking, and instantly I disengaged from the kiss.
I abruptly turned to saw her jeefly running out of the premises.
“Gianna!”, I called about chasing after her, then I briskly turned back to Beverly.
“Was this your aim all along?”, I retorted about to punch her but restricted myself since I have Gianna to chase after.
I know my men would be some steps ahead of me in chasing after her though.
Getting out of the gate to the dusky night someone punched me real hard, making me to stagger backwards.
“You dare hurt Gianna again?”, An angered but yet familiar voice echoed.
He grabbed me punching me real hard, I didn’t fight back, I know I deserved to be punished, I know, so I let him.
“If you don’t love her, let her come to me. Rather than hurting her all the fucking time”, Clemson uttered angrily punching my nose which instantly started bleeding.
“If not for the fact that you purchased her first I would have been with her by now. If you won’t at least treat her like the little frigile beauty she is, then sell her to me, I am ready to buy her, just name your price”, he smacked angrily punching more.
These wordings of his cut right through me and I felt so guilty, I wasn’t ready to give up Gianna for anything, not now, not ever.
At this juncture, a few of his men and my men wanted intervening, but we both stopped them.
“I promise if I ever treat her wrongly again then, take her faraway from me”, I uttered coughing out some blood clutching unto my ribs.
“I will hold you by your words then! If you ever hurt Gianna again, then I will be left with no choice than to take her from you, forever”, he warned letting go of me.
Instantly he left for his car, which stood few metres away from us, his burly escort strode behind him.
I coughed out more blood, feeling much pain in my ribs.
Just then, my men whom had earlier left to go get Gianna all emerged from the slopes down the road with one of them carrying the crying Gianna on his shoulder.
“Master, we found her”, Dylan reported placing Gianna down.
“You may all leave, go get the car ready, we are leaving immediately”, I instructed as they all bowed respectively before airing to get the car.
I turned to the petite lady standing in front of me and crying hysterically, using her both palms to cover her face.
“It is not what you think Gianna, I can explain”, I muttered, and at the instant I finished, she landed a resounding slap across my cheeks.
“I HATE YOU!”, she cried and took to her heels one more time.
I was overwhelmed with anger as I immediately chased after her. I hate it when she speaks ill to me.
I caught up with her when she was trying to pull off her heels to properly take off, and I instantly dragged her towards the car.
…Present Time…
‘I need to handle her with intense care now. I don’t want Clemson to take her away from me’, I thought watching her sleep, her breasts moving up and down as she dozed. She was just too frigile but stubborn.
Some minutes later, I also dozed off.

Next Morning
…At A Little Bungalow…
Ariella’s POV
Dabbing my red neck with a warm water and a napkin, I winced softly in pain. I can’t believe Greg has transformed into a handsome but yet deadly guy.
I feel remoseful knowing fully well I betrayed my better half.
I betrayed Greg!
I betrayed my twin brother.
I cried.
I deserve all and more than what he did to me! I have been so heartless.
The door flung open revealing my mom.
“Arielle?”, She called and closed the door behind her, then walked up to me.
“Mother?”, I called.
“What happened to your neck?”, She retorted and sat beside me on the small bed that could barely contain me.
“It’s just some irrelevant bruises I sustained at work, but I will be fine”, I lied not wanting to let her know I had met with my twin or she was gonna break down in tears.
“Ok then. Make sure to treat it so well”, she advised.
“How about dad?”, I questioned.
“Out for job hunting again”, she replied standing up to her feet.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Arielle, I want you to know that you can’t lie to me”, she suddenly bursted out and jeez! I felt goosebumps all over me as I watched her talk, “when you are ready come talk to me I will be all ears”, she muttered exiting the room.
I was dumbfounded and speechless.
“How the hell did she know I was hiding something huh?”, I muttered to myself.
