Seduction of a Crime Boss

Anthony was pleased at his father’s reaction. He had been afraid he would be in such a rage but both is mother’s and his own desire for a grand child, an heir seemed to overwhelm him. He was not a pleased with his brother or sister. He went into the kitchen with his mother, and she could see the look on his face.

”You think they are hiding something don’t you? I do too, but whatever it is, I don’t think they would hurt Giana.” Anthony wasn’t so sure. “I will trust them for now, but if I don’t hear from Gianna or get some clue as to where she is, I am going to put a tail on them, both of them.”

What Anthony couldn’t know was he was not the only one looking for Giana, so was the FBI. She should have checked in earlier yesterday, and when she still hadn’t today, they became concerned. They put an APB out on Anthony, and as he left his parents house, they picked him up to go downtown for questioning.

>>>>>>>>>>>

When Rosalie and Frankie got back they were still angry, but then when Gianna was gone, the anger became mixed with fear. “What did you do?” They said it in unison, each accusing the other for her ability to escape. “She’s a Federal Agent, she has skills, we underestimated her.” The statement was Frankie’s but Rosalie could only nod. “She is here somewhere, she has to be.“.

They divided and conquered, or so they hope. It was the third boat she had searched when she entered the boat where Giana was stowed. “She told part truth, and a part lie, the same thing she said as she boarded each of the boats. “We know who you are, and that you are carrying Anthony’s child. We will not hurt you, but we have to talk?” Just as she said it, she saw a small movement under the tarp…
 
Gianna was terrified , she had no idea what was going on and she had been separated from Anthony for hours, she knew he had to be scared and she hoped he had sort of a hint that his sibling had something to do with it. There was also the issue of her check in.

Ever since she came clean with Anthony, she told him of her weekly check in to make it seem like she was still investigating, all infonshe sent was useless or business related but it woukd still look like she was keeping tabs. If she didn't report... they woukd assume she's been made or possibly dead, she wasnt sure if the last part of her thoughts would become true.

She was shocked seeing Rosalie pull the tarp back and announce the information she obtained over the three hours they were gone and she shivered slightly covering her stomach as she also mentioned she knew she was pregnant. Had Anthony's mother told in excitement? Her eyes flashed to Frankie for a second remembering what he said he'd do when he returned and hot tears filled her eyes " Please.. just take me back... Anthony won't ever know of this.. I'm helping.. the family isn't in danger .. " she said slightly hoarse from the cold.
 
Anthony had been taken to the local FBI offices, but they were still trying to find Gianna, and so he was put in a solitary cell. He was furious, “It is illegal to hold me like this, I have not been charged!” He was pounding on the door, as if anyone three cared what he said or did. This was precious time though, and all he wanted was to get Gianna back!”

Frankie stepped on the boat just as Giselle said her bit. “That’s great, we can go home!” Rosalie turned and just stared at him, “You really are an idiot.” Frankie looked at Giselle, the thing he was most disappointed by was the fact that he couldn’t possibly fuck her now!

Rosalie looked back at Gianna, “I want to believe you, I really do, but how can I trust you. I need you to prove to me that you are doing what you say.“. She took a deep breath. “We are getting away, We have a cabin out by the lake, or our father does. There are doctors there in case something happens, Doctors we can trust.”

It was an interesting way to describe these Doctors who were on his father’s payroll and had sweed up so many of their people and even helped provide drugs to torture, interrogate and even kill threats to the family business.

”Sorry we have to do this … “ And with that Frankie came over and held and tied Giselle’s hands, as Rosalie blindfolded and gagged her. Five minutes later they were on the highway headed to the lake house. Rosalie saw Frankie staring at Giselle’s barely clothed body, and she did not trust her brother. “Stop at that Walmart over there, we need to get her some clothes and food…”

It was at that moment Anthony’s cell door opened and he was ushered into the interrogation room. Was it time for him to tell them the truth about he and Gianna, or was that too big of a risk?
 
Gianna had been hopeful , hoping the two siblings would be open to talk now that she was pregnant but she should be known better! The mention of a cabin and doctors scared her, would they keep her until she had Anthony's babies and get rid of her?

Where was he? Did they find out and do something to Anthony? Her heart squeezed at that and she began to slightly panic as she felt the gag and hood suddenly appear on her her and slow tears start to escape.

Though she was gagged she heard and felt everything, haha had been kidnapped and as soon as she had opportunity, Giselle would try to escape.
 
Rosalie was trying to get her bearings, she couldn’t hurt the girl, when she wanted to kill her, but she knew better. They pulled off the road and she disappeared into the Wal-Mart Supercenter. Ten minutes later she emerged with two bags of clothes, underwear some jeans, sweatshirts and sweat pants, bras and panties. She also had enough food to last them for a week.

It would be another two hours until they were at the cabin, “Get some sleep, we will be there soon enough, and … Giselle don’t be thinking anything stupid. If your story checks out, we will take you back to Anthony, I swear he is going crazy right now!”

If only she knew, they picked up Anthony less than a block from his family’s brownstone. He had been kept for nearly two hours, but since there was no trace of Gianna, they were no longer guarding her cover. Agents just didn’t go completely off the grid like this, she was in trouble.

Her boss walked in, and looked at Anthony in pure contempt. “What have you done with Giselle?” Anthony wanted to be a smart ass, he was so angry, but he was more worried about Giselle. “Nothing, I am trying to find her myself ….” Neither the Captain nor Anthony wanted to reveal too much, yet you could feel the desperation in both men’s voices!
 
Nicholas was furious hearing about Giannas disappearance, he should've pulled her out as soon as she began sleeping with that thug! He balled his fist pacing his office and made a beeline to interrogation as soon as he heard Tunas son,the one who Gianna had fallen for was brought in.

He saw red seeing the man. Gianna was not only his mentee, but he cared for her like a surrogate father, he trained her for joint undercover missions and missions like this, taught her how to fight, how to sense danger, they've done operations together! All of that had been fucked.... literally by the man he saw behind the glass.

Sure he was a handsome guy, but he had to know how he had gotten to his girl like this! How had Gianna managed to fall for this idiot and get herself killed or worse. He felt tears in his eyes behind his hardened demeanor and clenched his jaws and fist taking a breath before he entered the room.

He had trusted Gianna and knew she had revealed her real identity to this man and had offered to give her job up for him which he refused to let her do, but now he feared somone aside from her lover had known she was an agent and the mission was possibly screwed.

He maintained her cover name.. the only one who knew about this and whom she checked in with was him, and it had been hours since she checked in with him and the signal on her tracker was faint and that fed his anxiety in the wrong ways.

"Where is Giselle" he said coldly the man had looked at him and it was all he could do not to kill him, but he knew that wouldn't find or get her back, and she would never ever forgive him if she was alive and ok " What have you done with Giselle?!" He said and clenched his jaw slightly containing his emotion as he heard the desperation in the man's voice as he answered "Nothing.. I am trying to find her myself..."

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
Giselle was tired, thirsty, exhausted and cold, but she was also stubborn and observative,she couldn't see anything or talk, but she could hear everything, count the miles and distance from that ship yard.

She heard Rosalie tell her not to do anything stupid and that they woukd let her go if her story checked out and how freaked out Anthony was. She felt her heart squeeze at that knowing how terrified he might've been and worried for her and the baby.

She had no idea he was in custody at the moment and facing her mentor and scariest agent she knew Nicholas.
 
The only thing was Anthony wasn’t some hardened criminal, he had spent his entire adult life trying to convince his family, well his father to go legit. Yet, he knew how he looked, like a mafioso. His dark looks, deep chestnut eyes. If he wasn’t the heir to the biggest crime family in NY, if not in the world, he could have easily been a model.

He wasn’t trying to impress Nicholas with his looks, in fact he didn’t care if he impressed him at all. He was pissed to be sitting here, when if alone he could work his network to find her. And what was worse, was his being here made him sure that the government had no idea either.

They exchanged icy salutations, and it was only then when he saw the tear in the Captain’s eyes. “You care about her?” He was confused, “You and she weren’t ever?” He couldn’t even say the words. Anthony took a deep breath. “So I guess she told you about me?”

He wasn’t sure he should let on that he knew she was an agent, as she had been trying to fix things so his father would not go to jail, but he took a chance. “Listen, I know you don’t like my family, and I often don’t either, but they are my family. However, Gianna, is everything to me, did you know she is pregnant?”

He could tell by the look in the Captain’s eyes that this was new news. “Captain, I would kill anyone who hurt Gianna.” Again he used her real name, there were no more games to be played here. “You don’t have to like me, but I love her, and if all you care about his her, then we are on the same page. Can we try to work together?”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It was two hours to the minute as they pulled up the long gravel road to the very nice, but very isolated cabin. There was security everywhere, no one could come or go without being tracked, other than the family that was. Rosalie yelled back, “Giselle, wake up, we are here.” I her hands she held a pair of size 4 jeans, a clean bra and panties, and a big oversized Syracuse sweatshirt. All Wal-Mart’s finest.

She turned to her brother. I am going to take her into the master bedroom so she can shower and change, I will call you when we need to hand cuff her again.” Frankie was clearly disappointed. He had at least had the viewing pleasure of his brother’s fiance, but that was coming to an end. “Do you really have to, isn’t that a security risk?” She and Frankie both had guns, and there were motion sensors everywhere. “No perv it isn’t, for fuck’s sake Frankie, she is pregnant!”

Still cuffed, Rosalie led Giselle into shower and change. She undid the cuffs, and while keeping a gun on her and she distance, threw her the clothes. “Please don’t do anything stupid to get yourself hurt, this should all be over soon.”
 
Nicholas saw the concern , possibly jealousy in the man's face as he noticed his care for Gianna and normally would've played into it to get more info out of the partner and whether he like it or not this was Giannas partner a man who she loved despite him not understanding her choices and shook his head as the idiot wanted to know if they had been involved , he wouldn't even answer that question disgusted by the suggestion, although she was a gorgeous woman, Gianna was more of a daughter to him.

He was glad he demanded privacy and the cameras off for this interrogation and that was code for torture, but they coukdnt document that, the only torture that was happening was the ice cold chill he felt down his back as the man across from him said he had gotten Gianna pregnant.

That he hadn't known and he slammed his fist in the table and then flung it against the wall pissed off. How had his best agent been so irresponsible! Had she been here he would've torn into her but the fact that she was now pregnant scared him though he wouldn't admit that, he knew Gianna would do anything to protect a child,although she was tough that's just who she was.

He heard the man still talking and clenched his fist " Shut up You idiot!" He growled frustrated at the situation the two put him in and that the mission was completely fucked, they'd have to hand this over to another agency and now they woukd be suspicious of anyone new.

"We have to kill her.." he said low enough the man coukd hear and saw the slight fear on his face and anger " Relax.. I mean legally... Desandros has to the or she'll be in fed prison forever, I'm sure you can stage a death with your family's history, grab some hairs from a brush since am a bit enough for the to confirm and she is free." He said knowing a bit too much of this from black opp missions he couldn't discuss but he had "died" many times the agency barely knew his true identity though Gianna was family and she had.

"We're going to find her kid..and God help anyone involved if she's not ok" he said coldly now determined even more since she was pregnant.

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
Gianna stirred awake as they had arrived, as stubborn as she had tried to be to stay awake , hunger and exhaustion had won. She was still inn a state of undress but noticed one of them just be put the heat on during the ice to keep her warm at least.

She saw the door swing open and saw Rosalie holding the gun and a Wal-Mart bag in her hand and Frankie with a gun as well still ogoling her. She knew her situation, security was around, and she had two guns pointed at her, had she not been pregnant , she could be easily disabled and killed the siblings but she wouldn't risk hurting herself or the baby right now.

"I wont i promise.." She said shivering slightly as the cool air hit her and she looked around, they were in a wooded area, somewhere nice, maybe mountain top, she wasn't even sure if this was still New York..

She heard the two bickering a bit before Rosalie alone led her into a room with a huge shower and was uncuffed her cautiously warning her again not to do anything to get herslf hurt.

She subconsciously put her hands across her stomach knowing the rules and nodded wondering where Anthony was again as she slowly pulled the rest of what she wore off and got fully naked thankful somewhat had been Rosalie in there and not frankie.

She rubbed her wrists bit sore from hours of restraint and her stomach growled now starving after not eating for hours. She sighed a bit enjoying the water on her cool skin and showered trying to relax a little ignoring that rosalie had been fully watching her wash her body, the did still think she was a stripper assumed because they called her Giselle meaning anthony might notve revealed her true name.
 
Anthony, in his own way, had tried to be nice, but when he heard, " Shut up You idiot!", he about lost it. “Idiot, you puffed up, self important… Listen, I am an Ivy League educated attorney, and I know my family’s issues, but I am not them, never have been and never done a god damned illegal thing in my life.“. The two alpha males stood there icily staring at each other, practically tempting one another to throw a punch.

“What do you mean kill her, last I knew loving a man who was a son of a crime boss, getting pregnant, even if you are an agent was not an offense.” Yet he knew better, he knew Gianna had destroyed evidence and that Nicholas probably knew that too. They did agree on one thing, “But if she is hurt, God won’t have to do anything, I will kill them myself and gladly spend the rest of my life in prison.”

That seemed to resonate with Nicholas, “Let’s work together, can we see if we can find any video from any feed near her apartment?” Anthony told him when they had last seen each other, and watched as Nicholas went to work seeing what if any video might be available from neighboring street cameras and nearby shops.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rosalie watched Giselle, and even she could not help but admire the woman’s body. Hell, the pregnancy wasn’t showing anywhere yet, except her tits, which Rosalie had to admire. Rosalie was bi, in a different time and place, she would have put designs on the stripper herself, but this was not that time.

Instead she simply watched, and squirmed a bit as she could not help but become a bit wet. She kept a distance as Giselle finished and dried off. “So tell me, how did you and my brother end up together. I mean, he is my father’s son, and you are an agent, aren’t you supposed to not be interested in that sort of thing?”
 
Nicholas knew he had to be discrete getting info off the servers and cameras and showing it to Anthony. He spent about an hour fake grilling him while really just showing him information and then finally getting a view of her from a street camera and showing her getting into a car.

It looked like one of Tunas and that pissed him off a bit, what if he was lying and had already gotten rid of her, was trying to save his ass? The son had done law school so he knew he wasn't stupid.

He didn't fully trust him so he tested him " Last pic was her getting in a black car, I can't see who's driving but I have no doubt you know.. what are you playing at here?" He said strictly.

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

Gianna toweled off and began to dress with the woman still watching, if she had known better she could have sworn she was checking her out and had also heard a slight undertone of jealousy as she asked how her and Anthony had ended up together.

She chuckled a little at that " It wasn't supposed to happen like that at all... At first.. I just wanted to get close to him.. grab intel.. I'm a special agent sometimes we do anything to have a successful mission... but Anthony changed something in me... there was something about him I couldn't resist , things I wanted to protect him from, he gave me his heart and I opened mine to him... the first time I've ever truly done that for a man" she said and sighed

Anthony didn’t know how to react, furious, disappointed, sad, or encouraged, as he felt it all. The reality was he didn’t know who was driving either, the camera angle made it impossible to see who was in the car, but the look on Gianna’s face suggested she knew them, so it was either one of his guys or family.

He looked at Nicholas, staring straight into his eyes, “I don’t know who is driving that car, my father has an entire fleet, however, I will find out, I promise.…”. He took a breath, “I love her, love her more than anything, she will be my wife and the mother of my child and I know you hate that, and I understand. We don’t have to like each other, but I will get her home safe, now that I know.”

Anthony thought for a minute, “However, when we do, I have a question. You said you could arrange her death, to be stricken from the record. But I don’t know what good that does when she is with me. So… I guess my question is, can you arrange mine too?”

Anthony thought a bit more. “I need three or four days to arrange some things, and then, if we can do it, I can set up a life, away from all of this for Gianna and I?”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rosalie listened, “So, do you usually fuck the guys you’re following?” It wasn’t a compliment. Rosalie felt an odd set of contradictions, she was attracted to both Giselle and her brother, both things she knew could never happen, yet she was also protective of Anthony, and wanted to make sure of this girl, pregnant or not!

She listened more, “You love him? You know about our life, our business, you can deal with all of that?”

She had brought two beers in with her, Rosalie opened one, and then as she started to hand one to Giselle she stopped. ”Oh yeah, I guess with the baby this is out?”
 
Nicoholas looked at the man shocked. He sensed on lie or hesitation in his voice when he told him that he didnt know who took Gianna and who had driven that car and that frustrated him more.

He watched the man stare him in the eyes declaring his love for his student and promising to find out where she was and who did it and he chuckled a bit " Ok kid I trust you..only Gianna would find a man just as stubborn as she is"

He paused for a minute hearing him ask to be killed to so he coukd be with her and the could start fresh and admired the man's strength knowing that would mean them both abandoning their famikes so their growing one would be safe and he nodded with a small grunt.

"Four Days" he said standing and uncuffed him as another guard came in " He's clear ..get this scum out of my building" he said keeping the act up before giving him an agreed look and walking out.

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

Gianna chuckled at her question obviously meant to offend her " No I never have, this mission was different from the beginning" she said honestly remembering the attraction she felt for Anthony the first moment he touched her.

She heard Rosalie question her love for her brother and she knew the woman's forbidden attractionnhe could read her like a book " He's never been involved with that Rosalie I've done my research, I have encountered worse at missions , it's not about your action my love for him trumps all of that in my eyes" she said drying her damp hair.

She saw Rosalie bring beers and start to hand her one then hesitated when She remembered Giselle was pregnant and she nodded moving to go sit on the couch her stomach grumbling a bit. " Water will be fine" she said a bit parched.
 
Anthony knew he and the Captain had reached some sort of resolve, even a degree of mutual admiration. “You love her too, don’t you?” He didn’t mean it sexually, but more as a father daughter, “I am pretty sure she feels the same way…” And with that, the men spoke no more, and when Nicholas called him “scum” he could barely hide his smile. However, as he left, smiling was the furthest thing from his mind!

He took a cab, before he pounded on the front door of his parent’s brownstone. His mother opened the door, “Please tell me you didn’t know…”. He didn’t wait for an answer, barging past his mother, and into his father’s room. The man was barely awake, but Anthony didn’t care. “You son of a bitch, you god damned son of a bitch….” His mother walked in, her face ashen. “Oh Antonio, no … please no … you didn’t?”

The old man who could face bullets or detectives was too weak to defend himself. “No… well, not really, not what you think … “. He explained what had happened, what his siblings had done, and he tried to defend them, but for Anthony there was no defense. “Call them back, I can’t see them, but call them back. Dad, I swear to God, if I see them right now, I just might kill them.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The phone rang at the cabin, Rosalie went and answered and said only one thing, “Of course Papa, we will come right home.” Giselle likely heard that, her first clue that Tuna had any knowledge of any aspect of this. Rosalie brought in a bottle of water. She waited for Giselle to drink it, before she once again cuffed Giselle in.

“I don’t think, we will be gone long…”. She ended up being wrong, she would not be coming back. It was only 45 minutes after they left that the door of the cabin reopened, but Gianna should have recognized the voice that rang out, “Gianna… where are you?”
 
Gianna watchef Rosalie get a call and could hear the urgency in her voice as she told Tuna that she and Frankie would return right then. She was sitting on the couch , blanket covering her that Rosalie had given and she also some cereal but Rosalie informed her she would get something more tomorrow most stores were closed.

She was keeping an eye on Frankie who still ogles her despite her being Anthonys but wasn't dumb enough to actually touch her he knew Anthony would hurt him.

Gianna saw Rosalie rush in and give Frankie a stare of importance handing her a bottle of water and she noticed the slight fear in her eyes. She saw her grab the cuffs and tensed a bit as she was handcuffed again.

"Hey you dont have to... I'm not going to run I promise i-" she started and was cut off from Rosalie.

" I don't think we will be gone long..."Rosalie said and she got quiet a moment as she watched them walk out a bit panicked. She was stuck here with no transportation and no idea where she was.

She tried to relax but time was moving slowly and started to sing softlynto herself and the baby as they sat in the dark. She was so tired, she felt herself stick to sleep after 20 minutes.

She was dreaming of her, Anthony and the baby somewhere nice and she stirred in her sleep thinking she heard him call her name.
 
It was so dark, pitch black, and for the life of him, Anthony was unsure as to where the light switch was. the cabin was old, originally it had been lit only by kerosene lanterns, but his father after purchasing it, installed not only electricity, but some fairly elaborate security systems.

Anthony had known the codes at the gate to disarm the security and the cameras. There were times Tuna did not want anything caught on tape, and for Anthony this was definitely one of those times. The night was dark behind him, but the open doorway allowed in just enough moonlight to provide a bit of visibility.

He took a moment to let his eyes adjust to the near pitch, and it was only then he thought he saw an outline on the couch, but it wasn’t moving, “OH God!”

As he fumbled in his pocket for his phone he moved quickly toward the outline. “Gianna, my Gianna… are you all right… wake up… WAKE UP!”

He was frantic, he would kill his siblings, both of them, how stupid they had been, but he never thought they would hurt her, was he wrong? “Gianna!” Again he called out, but thought he saw her stir. Finally he had his phone, and clicked on the flashlight, finally illuminating his beautiful girl! She seemed to be stirring, and it was then he saw the way her hands were cuffed behind her back.

He flew himself down on the couch, and pulled her into his arms, giving her a long kiss on the lips. She was warm, alive, seemingly okay…He breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to lighten the mood, “Hmmm, handcuffs, now we could have some fun with those!””
 
Gianna hadnt been asleep too long but hearing Anthony scream her name a final time had startled her awake a bit. He had found her like she knew he would and she slowly opened her eyes seeing the phone flashlight in her face.

Frankie and Rosalie hadnt bothered turning them on before they left because of rhe decent lighting in the cabin but now she realized just how dark it was as he held the light to her.

He pulled her up from the position and pulled her in kissing her and she was still stunned and relieved it had been him to find her but she knew she souodnt be surprised.

She returned his kiss eagerly and felt tears fall " Baby, i am so happy to see you" she said and chuckled. She chuckled at his comments on the cuffs and said " We can have all the fun we want once were out if here baby... " she said softly wantung to be out of the cuffs so she could hug him.
 
All teasing aside, Anthony pulled Gianna into his arms, and simply rocked and cradled her there, kissing her cheek and forehead, in a soothing, almost father like way, before pulling her in and passionately kissing her lips, in a way that was the furthest thing away from paternal!

”I was so scared, so scared, I never dreamed it was Frankie and Rosalie. I would seriously kill them, and my mother will be heartbroken, but I would prefer she never have to know. They thought they were being loyal to my father, but how they would do something so cataclysmically stupid, I don’t know. I am done with them, all of them, except Mama!”

Anthony was talking to his love, but also himself, trying to work its way out. The reality was, if his plan worked, they would soon be rid of all of them. “Lights, let me find the lights and then we will get you out of those cuffs, we have so much to talk about!” He gave her one more long kiss and then turning his flashlight on his phone back on, he found the wall switch and they were illuminated.

When he looked back at Gianna, he saw the baggy sweats, which was not the usual look of his gorgeous and typically naturally stylish fiancé. Laughing, “Where the heck did you get that… I want to know everything that happened, how they got you, and what they did? But I do want you to know a couple of things. Nicholas and I have met, at first he thought it might have been me who hurt you, but we reached an understanding. He is a good man, and it was the tapes he was able to find that allowed me to realize it was one of my father’s cars that kidnapped you, I just wasn’t sure who?”

As he talked he was looking around for the keys to the cuffs, hoping they were still here and on on his brother or sister’s body. “I know my mother had no idea, and she made it clear how important you were to me and her. I don’t think my father knew either, at least initially, but after he found out that you and I were engaged, you were pregnant, I think Rosalie and Frankie finally confessed. Whatever their stupid plan was, you were safe at that point, but Nicholas is a good man, and I owe him one. Which brings me to… we aren’t going anywhere, at least not initially. He made a suggestion that we need to fake your death, and … I think we need to fake mine too!”

Finally he located the keys and came back over, “Now, I want to know everything…” And he bent down to remove the cuffs before once again laughing, “You’re sure, you want these off?”
 
Gianna has missed kissing him like that and coukdnt be happier being in his arms again, the stress of being killed by his siblings off of her mind. She heard in his voice how furious and frustrated he was with the two of them and his father and then he realized they still didnt have light inside.

Anthony took a moment finally locating it and then looking back at her and laughed at the wardrobe. She couldnt help the small giggle that escaped as she had looked down and finally got a good look at what Rosalie and Frankie had picked out for her, it wasnt anything near what'd she pick out for herself and she said " Its from walmart i think they thought this woukd be comfortable maternity clothes" she said and laughed more

He continued talking with her as he searched around for the keys to the cuff and told her all about what happened and how he met Nicholas. She was actually surprised Anthony was still here to see her, she knew her bosses temper especially when it came to people he cared for although she knew he was too stubborn actually admit it aloud.

She smiled hearing Anthony say how good of a man he was and nodded agreeing and heard the length he had went to keep her and Anthony safe. She knew Nich had worked in some dark areas of the goverment before, some stuff he still hadnt told her aside from his identities, but she knew he was serious when he would stage her and Anthonys death and she nodded knowing exactly what that meant.

" We'll have to baby... and Nich is the best at what he does we can trust him and your mama once we've gotten everything together" she said knowing how hard that " death" might come to her brothers , she wasnt too close to them but she knew itd still hurt.

He finally uncuffed her and she sighed relieved rubbing her sore wrists a little and chuckled " I think ill want em off a few days baby but after that... i thinknwe can use them for a little fun" she teased and leaned in kissing him softly and hearing him ask for a recap with her and she knew Anthony woukd be upset with some of what his siblings did.
 
Even as Anthony told her the story, his interactions with Nicholas, and the plan they had put together, he had regrets. “I wanted to turn the family business around, take it completely legit, but it is too dangerous for you, and probably me too. It was Nicholas who fully made me realize the chance you took destroying the evidence on my father and family. I am so sorry….”

Gianna was smart, she had to know that if proven, and even if largely circumstantial, she had risked prison to help his family avoid it. She hadn’t done if for Tuna, he frankly deserved what he got, she had done it for him. He had removed the cuffs, and took her wrists in his hands to help massage away the pain. “I bet there are days you wish you never met me, or my family!”

He let go of one wrist, and moved his hand down to gently, lovingly cup her belly. “I promise baby, I will do everything I can to make you never regret all you have given up. How do you feel, do you think you need to see a Doctor just to make sure?” Gianna wasn’t showing yet, but he knew it wouldn’t be long. If they were going to flee, he had to make sure they were headed somewhere with good healthcare.

He pulled her up on his lap, simply wanting to hold her. “On my way up here, I started to make calls. I am going to liquidate my holdings, it will take some time, but I have about $250,000 in the bank, it is in a numbered account in the Cayman’s. It is all legal, but if something happened to my family, I was always afraid all assets, not just my father’s would be frozen. Over the next few weeks and months, the buildings I owned in private trusts will be sold, and the funds transferred there. I want to liquidate, so that will push down the prices a bit, but we should have a nest egg of a little under $5 million to build on and start a new life.”

He wanted her to feel safe and secure. There were definitely risks, but with new papers, new identities and access to money, they could figure it out. He had brought a scarf and sunglasses for Gianna so that they could go out in public if need be, and then come back to the cabin. They needed time and to work out details with Nicholas, he was working on the back story and new identities.

”Okay, now tell me what happened, I want to know everything, exactly what they did to you?”
 
Gianna felt her tears well up a bit hearing Anthony apologize after hearing him say he realized how much she had put in jeopardy herself just saving tuna for the love of Her life.

She sighed as he massaged her wrists after kissing them each both sore after being cuffed for so long. She heard him say he bet she wished she never met him and shook her head in disapproval " No baby... I think this mission was fate for us both... I knew it would be different the moment I stepped into your office" she said

She smiled softly at his comment as he put his hand on the slight swell of her belly and knew Anthony would keep his promise. She asked if she was ok and nodded but she did want the doctor to see her after the conditions she was kept in and the stress and anxiety she endured for hours.

" A doctor can see me tomorrow, I just want to be in your arms for now" she said softly. She listened to all he did on his drive up here and was surprised at how fast he had worked and she was sure Nicholas was wrapping things up for her as well at her real place.

She knew it would take them a few weeks for them to get all of their affairs together and she wouodnt mind staying in this wooded cabin as long as he had been the one there with her.

She paused for a moment as he asked her again what his siblings did and she sighed knowing he wouldn't let her not tell him but she also didn't want to because she knew how upset he'd be.

" I was almost at my appointment and the spotted me walking... I found it a little odd they were in that part of town but I thought they were headed to meet you or dropping something off to you" she said and gripped his hand continuing.

" They kidnapped me before I knew what happened and I was greeted by the end of a gun when they finally got to the docks and wanted to speak. They offered me money but I declined telling them I couldn't but not why... They made me strip down to my underwear, tried to humiliate me , your brother wanted to do other things but Rosalie was there to stop him thankfully"she felt Anthony stiffen at that and ball his fist and she picked up his hand kissing it softly wondering if she should continue.
 
Anthony felt so bad, so guilty, for what Gianna had to endure. He would never forgive himself nor his family, if anything had happened to her or the baby. Gianna seemed fine, at least physically, but the baby? They would have her checked out, but he could only hope all was okay.

There was an old family Doctor, he had probably given birth to 80 percent of the children born up in this upstate New York wilderness community. That 80% included Anthony himself, Dr. Welby was now in his 70’s but actively practicing and Anthony liked him very much and knew they could trust them. “The Doctor that gave birth to me, still practices up here.“. He saw the look in her eyes, “No, he is really good, and I trust him! As long as everything is okay and no hospital visit is needed, he won’t ever allow anyone to know you were here. At least not until we are away and safe!

He liked the other part better though. I brought up some food to cook for us, but other than that, nobody will get you out of my arms! Anthony desperately wanted to make love to Gianna, but he wouldn’t try unless it was clear she wanted and was prepared for the same.

Then she started to tell him. Everything he had seen on camera now made sense. “Offered you money, for what? What did they want you to do?” He was furious when she described how they made her strip, and he could only imagine what his pathetic and disgusting brother had fantasized of doing. He would pay! Making the fist was natural and his entire body tensed, as he only pulled his lover, his fiancé closer!”

She stopped, and he took a deep breath. “I want to hear it all, but it is getting late. I brought up things to make us spaghetti. The Sauce needs to simmer for about 90 minutes. Why don’t you go into the master bedroo….” Anthony pointed down a hallway that Gianna likely hadn’t seen, it was on the other side of the cabin from the rooms the children used, and Anthony knew no one would use it without his parents permission. He assumed he had it, and it was a lovely big room with an attached master bathroom, shower and jacuzzi tub.

”Go in there and you can lie down, that is where we will stay. I will be in, in 15 minutes, once I get everything going. I want to hear everything, but I want to get you nice and relaxed too!”
 
Gianna knew in her heart the baby was ok although her body had gone through some inconveniences, she was slightly unsure if the cabin was that safe, she knew Rosalie and Frankie and probably the entire family knew where they were, it could be possible they coukd be followed or traced there and then she and Anthonys future woukd be history.

She hid her face slightly to ease her anxiety and was relieved hearing him say he had brought something to cook for them and couldn't help but kiss him. After nearly 18 hours of holding her The most his siblings had given her was a bowl of cereal and some water.

She was happy to be out of their care. Anthony pointed out how late it was and she yawned a little in response. He pointed down a halllway she just noticed stating that was the master bedroom and she heard him say she could go in and rest and he would meet her there.

She kissed him softly not wanting to be apart and said " We can make dinner together baby... itll ease our minds.. besides... i remember you mentioning on our first official date at your brownstone that if you shared your sauce recipe youd have to marry me" shegrinned and teased " So... are you going to share with your fiancee or are we goijng to have to tie the knot first?"
 
Anthony smiled, “Are you sure you don’t need to rest?” But there was no arguing with Gianna, and their cooking together had been one of their first dates, at the start of their falling in love.

Anthony did remember, “That’s right, I guess I’m going to have to make an honest woman of you!” Anthony pulled her into his arms and kissed her. “Besides the Doctor, I think we need to do a little shopping, and … what if we find a justice of the peace or at least a judge?”

They were going to be going on the run, leaving their lives behind to star a new one, “Would you like to baby, get married now, I could see if maybe Momma wanted to drive up, just a small ceremony? Maybe have Nicholas or …?” Anthony had planned to give Gianna an huge wedding, but that seemed impossible now, “If you want something different, we can wait, but all I could think about while you were gone, was why the hell weren’t you already my wife?”

He wanted her to think about it. “So, about that recipe?” Anthony had fresh oregano an spices, extra virgin olive oil, real ground Italian sausage for a light meat sauce, bread he would use to mix in with the ground beef for his special meatballs, tomato paste, a splash of ground red pepper for spice, but they could not make home made pasta so he settled for Brillo angel hair spaghetti, the next best thing.

it was so great just cooking up a meal together, Anthony would feed Gianna spoonfuls and have her tell him if it needed a pinch more salt or some other flavoring. Halfway through their cooking, Anthony came up behind Gianna, and untied her sweat pants, and dropping ot one knee, slid them down her legs. “Baby I have missed these legs, but if you get cold, let me know and I promise to warm them up.

There having Gianna in only the sweatshirt was much better. He was engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world, and he wanted to enjoy her! Picking up a single noodle of spaghetti, he threw it against the wall and it stuck where it hit. “I beleve MY Love, dinner is ready!”
 
Gianna kissed her love back as he mentioned they needed to do some shopping , inform the doctor, and finding a justice of peace which Gianna knew woukd be very easy for her.

Gianna smiled at the thought of being his wife " I would like Nich and your mama there, that's all we need and it would mean so much to me before we fully tie things up throughout the month and we can get married as soon as possible, i dont want anything more " she said and kissed his hand softly.

She woukdve loved her brothers there, to say goodbye, but the feds had notes for the families when someone passed away and with the case shed been working on severity, she was sure they sent it out to them about their baby.

She enjoyed cooking with him learning the recipe and smiling as he would feed her her small amounts of sauce as they cooked so she could taste it. She felt him untie the large sweatpants and smiled at him " It's warm enough baby, I missed binging like this and you" recalling the times she spent donning big t-shirts and relaxing in his arms.

She smirked when he the the pasta against the wall and couldn't help but giggle thinking it had the baby been born and saw his trick, the baby might be inclined to follow their daddy.
" ok baby let's eat.. I'm so hungry" and help him fix their plates.
 
Anthony had brought a burner phone with him, so that they could make outbound calls. He knew that Nicholas’ calls were likely monitored, as were his normal phone, and likely his mother’s as well. Anthony nodded, “Yes, that would be nice … I’m sorry your family can’t be there …” He never even considered anyone in his other than his mother. He did have a cousin he was very close to, as well as his old college roommate, but none of that was possible, and soon he would be leaving them all behind anyway.

”When we are in town tomorrow, we will make the calls, but I would like to do the ceremony as soon as we can, just in case something accelerates our timeline?” Neither of them fully understood what they might be giving up, but it didn’t matter, all that mattered was being safe, being together, and finding somewhere to raise the baby and start a new life together.

”Are you ready to be my wife Baby?” He smiled as he kissed her. They sat down to eat, he poured her water, but opened a bottle of wine for himself from the small collection kept at the cabin. “Do you mind, I want to celebrate?” He dished up the pasta, sauce, garlic bread, and the salad Gianna had tossed.

He lit a candle and put it in the center of the table, and then manipulated his phone to connect to the wireless speaker to play soft, jazz music as they ate. He sat down next to her, and took her hand. “This is it, this is what it is going to be, just us!”

They had both led such busy lives, this would be so different. Nothing they had to do, other than keep an eye out, be smart and stay safe. Dinner was delicious, and they did talk but more than anything he held her hand, looked at her, thanking God she was okay!
