I threw my heard back and inhaled. I had much better things to go back home to. I had already imagined that I'd spend my day in bed with the little angel until I got reports that another bastardo ingrato didn't have my money.

I wasn't some fucking money Santa! I didn't go around giving people millions for no fucking reason.

The brown haired man was on his knees and his face was covered in blood. I had beat him up in frustration. It smelled like blood and I shut my eyes, trying to think about her scent. Her vanilla scent. Her sweet taste.

"Merda!"

It did nothing but frustrate me further. My grip around the glock tightened and I inhaled.

"Let him go" I grunted out and heard chains fall to the ground. I sat up and looked at the bastard. He looked shocked.

"Thank your stars, Orion. Ringrazia le tue fottute stelle!" I snarled at him and he sobbed, praying silently.

My finger itched to pull the trigger and put him out of his misery because no matter how much time I gave him, he'd never be able to pay me back.

He was an illegal immigrant. His mother died and left him in debt, his father did the same and so did his elder sister. And now him.

There wasn't much he could do but I kept thinking about Wura.

She was the only reason he wasn't dead.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ricci"

"Get the fuck out of my face before I change my mind" I hissed and stood up, making my way out of the dark warehouse. I shoved the glock into the holster around my hip and buttoned my suit.

Tino had an urgent class to teach at the university and I hadn't planned to stay long but look how that fucking turned out. All because of fucking Orion who couldn't pay me back.

I climbed into the Jeep, leaving my men behind to clean up the mess. My hands tapped the steering wheel as I drove off. I had left Vince at the house with the angel. I knew I had to make it up to her.

I smiled, thinking about her face and her voice I had listened to this morning.

I drove by a flower shop and exhaled, contemplating getting chocolates with the flowers. Tino was spoiling her.

Aren't you doing the exact same thing?

"I'm not doing the same thing" I mumbled to myself and climbed out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me. I felt eyes on me and that was clearly bound to happen as I had tattoos all over my body.

I had only regretted getting the tattoos once and that was when I feared that Wura would be intimidated by them. I still had that fear. I wasn't as 'warm' as Tino and my tattoos did nothing to help but I wanted her to know that I cared about her as much as Tino did.

I shoved my hand into my left pocket as I stepped into the flower shop. The smell of the various flowers was nauseating.

I hated flowers.

I scrunched my nose up in disgust as I made my way to the counter. A variety of flowers surrounded the shop to beautify it but it wasn't too appealing.

"Good-" the lady behind the counter froze and gulped, looking at me like I was going to pull out a gun and shoot her in the middle of her eyes.

I tilted my head at her, entertaining the thought.

Her lips parted and closed as she looked around like she was in danger. I towered over her and I could read the calculations in her head.

I ignored her and bit down on my lower lip, glancing around the store for a flower that best represented my little angel.

"What flower is that?" I walked to the bright yellow flower sitting in a bouquet surrounded by white flowers. There were other arrays of bright yellow flowers but that one was arranged pretty nicely.

"T-those are uh...t-tulips-"

"I'll give you something to fucking stutter about" I growled and her eyes widened. She gulped and took in air through her lips.

"Y-yellow tulips represent um..unrequited love" I eyed the bouquet in distaste and looked away.

"I need a bouquet for...an angel" I trailed off, looking at the lady behind the counter. She looked less scared now and nodded.

"Do you uh...love her?" She whispered like I was going to reach out and ask her to give me all her money and I shrugged.

"Do you have a s-specific color in mind?" She asked again and sighed, glancing down at the watch in on my wrist. Her stuttering could cause me to stay here the whole fucking day!

"Pink and hurry the fuck up" I grumbled and walked to the other side of the flower shop where chocolates sat.

"I'm not spoiling her. Just...this one day" I mumbled to myself and picked out the biggest box of chocolates, making my way back to the counter.

She was carefully arranging pink flowers in a bouquet. I pulled my wallet out of my pocket and slapped a couple of dollar bills on the counter before grabbing the bouquet that smelled quite nice and the box of chocolate.

"T-thank you" she called and I cursed under my breath as I climbed into the car and drove off. I ran a couple of red signs but that was nothing new.

In minutes, I got home and walked into the house. Her scent filled my nose and I inhaled, walking into the living room. She sat on the couch, watching some ridiculous cartoon about a yellow sponge.

I smiled to myself. My heart paced faster and I walked towards her.

"Gianni!" She cried out and sat up, jumping into my arms. I laughed and let the things I held fall to the ground. She wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

I felt bad for leaving her alone at home even if this was all Tino's fault.

"I missed you" she number in the crook of my neck, making me shiver. She didn't know what she was doing. I cupped her ass and inhaled her scent like an addict who needed a quick fix.

"I missed you, Angel. I missed you so much" I whispered, running my palm up and down her back. She giggled and hugged me tighter. I still hadn't gotten enough of her sweet scent to help me get through the day.

She didn't pull away like she knew what I needed. I pulled away and she smiled at me, her smile radiated sunshine.

I noticed her new hairdo and cupped her chin.

"You look absolutely beautiful, darling" she smiled and was about to speak when she noticed the bouquet of pink roses on the ground.

"Is that for me?" She whispered in awe and I grabbed it with a grin, handing it to her. If this was what brought a smile to her face then I would get her a bouquet everyday.

"It's beaut-"

"I got you chocolates too but don't get too comfortable" she squealed and hugged me tight, making me chuckle.

"Thank you!" She bounced on my hardening cock and I gripped her waist tight, maintaining the grin on my face.

How badly I wanted to fuck her. Hard. She was only making it worse and her innocence was making me go crazy.

"Where's Vince?" I twirled a finger around the ends of her cornrows.

"He's..." she trailed off and her lips set in a pout as she thought about the location of her bodyguard. I leaned in, and her bright brown eyes settled on my lips.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close. Her warm breath left a lasting impression on my lips and I gulped. Was it always going to feel like this?

Like Nirvana and a pinch of cloud nine. Ecstasy was a fitting description. Like the drug. She made me feel things. Things that made me feel different.

Hello, my sweet sweets! How y'all doing?🌻

Here's a chapter to make up for the disappearance and your patience, yeah?

Now...I want a Gianni. Why can't I have them all tho? I mean...even if I was faced with the opportunity to get two men for myself, I'd probably run tbh😂 it'll sound too good to be true.

What would you do?(be honest)
It might take me a couple of days to come to terms with it but hell yeah! As long as my parents don't find out.

Nigerians, stay safe. If you're gonna protest, be careful. Okay? If things are getting too rowdy, run tf away. These people are brutal.
Anyways! Enjoy! I love y'all! 💛
