Chapter 8

• CHAPTER Eight
• Bianca watched in horror as Giovanni went down and began to throw series of punches at Romeo. She couldn't do anything about it as his had scream murder right from the moment he had pulled Romeo out of her. After several minutes, blood spilled out of Romeo and it was clear he had become unconscious.
• "Lets go." Giovanni said, once he stood up from his unconscious body. Bianca didn't think she could continue with classes for the day and followed Giovanni out of the restroom. While they walked through the hallway, Daisy rushed over to meet her friend but upon seeing Giovanni, she stopped in her track. Bianca made a gesture indicating she was going to give her a call later on.
• Once they were out of the school premises, Bianca noticed a couple of men outside the black mustang Giovanni had arrived with. She had recognized these men from the incident at the restaurant days ago.
• When they arrived at the mansion, Bianca stepped into the mansion and dropped dead on the couch, trying to fix her mind out of the incident with Romeo. "It was obvious you were enjoying the moment with him weren't you?" Bianca looked up in surprise at Giovanni, who still had the deadly look he had given Romeo at the restroom.
• "I don't understand what you are talking about." Bianca replied, lifting her head off the couch to stare at Giovanni properly. "Don't give me that pretense. I was passing through the school premises and I gave it a thought to stop at the gate and what do I see? A young girl yelling out for help. I stepped out and when I asked what the problem was, she told me about some guy taking her friend to the restroom and when I enquire further, I was told it was you." Giovanni explained.
• "I was being harrassed by Romeo...." "Don't give me that crap. At first I believed you were being harrassed. On a second thought, I realized you were enjoying it. When I burst through the restroom, I could see you not resisting." Bianca couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. They sounded like abomination to her ears.
• "How can you say such a thing? You and I know that Romeo was clearly bullying me. He was more powerful. How do you expect me to resist." Giovanni walked closer to Bianca, knelt before her and grabbed her chin forcefully.
• "Maybe I need to remind you that you are mine and you will forever remain like that. Maybe I need to explain to you that I took you from your father as a collateral for my debts. You are my mistress and you will have to learn to see me as your master." Bianca was slowly getting amazed by the audacity he used in explaining exactly her status in his life.
• After Giovanni had given her a split second intense stare, he let her go. Bianca got up from the couch and before she would head up to her room, she looked at Giovanni one last time. "And i really thought you were going to be different." After she had left, Giovanni finally realized what he had done. He was misusing the one opportunity he had hoped to make Bianca like him in the place of hating him instead.

• Bianca laid on her bed, thinking about the whole thing Giovanni had said to her earlier. She couldn't believe that he would accuse her of such an act like that. Seeing the love he had shown to her in the first week she had been here, Bianca believed that Giovanni was going to be her liberator, apparently she was wrong about the whole thing.
• For the rest of the evening, Bianca stayed in her room and despite the multiple knocks on the door, she refused to let anyone in. For most part of the knocking, Giovanni's voice could be heard, but she was unfazed by it. She had made it a portion for her self that she would not be intimidated ever again by his acts.
• She slept late, owing to the fact that she didn't eat lunch nor dinner and despite the pleas coming from the back doors, by Giovanni, she stayed stubborn. Late into the night, her stomach began to grumble and Bianca knew that she needed to eat, if she wasn't willing to develop ulcer. Slowly, she got out of bed and made her way out of the room, till she got to the kitchen. When she switched on the light, she gasped seeing the sight of Giovanni on the chair.
• "I was hoping you would wake up by midnight and eat something and I guess I was right." He said, rubbing his eyes. "You were out here waiting for me?" Bianca asked in amazement. "You weren't willing to open the door and so, I took a wild guess and it turns out I was right." Bianca didn't say anything afterwards. She walked to the counter and pulled out noodles from the cupboard, while Giovanni watched her.
• "Imade, I am sorry. I know I clearly said some hurtful words earlier today, but I was too pissed that I wasn't thinking rationally." Giovanni explained, while she placed the cooking pots on the gas. "First of all, my name is not Imade. While I intend to go into details about everything, I would rather keep things as simple as clear. Secondly about the words you said earlier, I was really hurt Giovanni. I really thought you were going to be different, considering I had a very bad past. You turned out to be quite the same. Accusing me even when the reality was glaring at you. It is obvious you are the type who is swift to judge." Like the pointed knife, her words pierced her soul and all he could think of at that moment was to make it up to her.
• "I understand Imade.....Since you don't want me calling you Imade, what should I call you then." Bianca turned and looked at him in the eye; "My name is Bianca Logan and I am not the daughter of your friend Felix. I actually his niece." She turned around and zipped down a little of her bare back. "This right here, is a testament of what my uncle has done to me. While I have left all these things in the past, I don't want them reoccurring in the present again." Giovanni was speechless, hearing her mini tales. While some part of him was pissed that Felix had pulled a stunt on him, the other part was glad that this was actually a blessing in disguise.
• "I understand that you will want to hurt them, but I will advice that you leave them to their fate. I am much better without them." Giovanni walked closer to meet her. "I am only choosing to keep calm over the whole situation because you told me to do so. Else, I would have been sending my boys over and destroying Felix and his wretched family." Bianca moved a step backwards as she wasn't comfortable about the fact that Giovanni was breaking into her space.
• "So I guess I am forgiven after all?" Giovanni asked with a smirk on his face. Bianca rolled here eyes internally and smiled as well. Regardless of what Giovanni had said earlier, she knew that she had no option than to forgive him. He had clearly shown that he was acting on his own volition and also irrationally. "I guess so.." Giovanni smiled and leaned in to grab her lips. Bianca felt nothing the moment his lips touched hers. They were soft and they tasted like strawberries. She couldn't also deny the fact that they were intoxicating as well.
• Giovanni hoisted her up on the counter and continued kissing her, taking total control of the passion filled moment. Their intense moment was brought to an end, the moment Bianca broke free, having perceived her noodles were completely burnt.
• "Great, now I don't have anything to eat." Giovanni walked slowly over to her side, his huge frame covering hers. "You have me..." He said teasingly.
• "Can you stop being gross? I am really hungry and need something to eat." She said, playfully pushing him away. "Very well then, I knew you would be hungry, which is why I had the maid order pizza an hour ago. Not to worry, it is still good." Bianca looked at him with adoration, while Giovanni leaned at the counter and pulled out the pizza box.
• "Least I forget, from now on, you will be going to school with a personal guard. I figure you may need help when I am not available." Bianca attempted to object to it, but seeing the look that Giovanni gave her, she conceded to his decision. They both dugged into the pizza and ate while the atmosphere was filled with happiness as they talked about their personal life.

• The next day, Bianca filed with confidence stepped out of the limousine and this time the personal body guard was by her side, observing her every movement, while she stepped into the hallway. As a custom, all eyes were on her and as she had been thought by Daisy, she wasn't going to give a damn about the situation.
• While pulling her biology textbook from her locker, she felt presence behind her and when she turned around, Imade and her minions were staring at her. Bianca looked around and there was no sign of the guard attached to her. "So you made it out of Romeo's grasp. Quite fascinating." Imade grabbed her by the collar and pushed her to the wall, forcing Bianca to smack her head by the locker. "Listen very well Bianca, I am the center of attention of this school and it is slowly becoming obvious you want to steal my spotlight. I am not going to allow that happen." While Imade made an attempt to throw a punch, she felt something or someone withholding her hand from landing on her face.
• Bianca looked up and sigh in content, seeing her body guard Viola. She pushed Imade away and after confirming that Bianca was alright she turned to look at the little girl before her. Imade's minion had made a run for it, the moment they saw Viola.
• "Listen here girl, you have outdone yourself thinking you can bully Miss Bianca and for that, I think it is important I show you the bad aspect of ever thinking of laying hands on my friend." She dragged Imade by her hair, while the latter shouted and slammed her to the locker.
• For a moment Bianca felt compassion towards her cousin, but thinking about all the times she had hurt her, she was glad that revenge is being extracted for her. "The next time I see you around Miss Bianca again, I will pound your face to pieces and you can bet that there wouldn't be a face to apply such horrible make up of yours." Bianca looked around and gasped seeing a few students taking pictures and videos of the event. While thinking Viola was done with her cousin, she was surprised it was just the beginning. Apparently one of the lockers were opened and it had cups filled with different paint. Viola emptied the entire content on Imade, while the rest of the kids laughed.
• "Viola enough!" Bianca quickly intercepted, while she watched her cousin cry her heart away as many student had slowly gathered to witness the entire scene.
• "You wouldn't blame me, I needed to show that bitch a taste of what you have been feeling." Viola replied. Bianca knew that the students who had gathered around were going to spread the news to the entire school of her whole act and beating up Imade was simply an astounding feet to most students in Preston college. This will only make her popularity grow; something Bianca wasn't comfortable with either.
