Giovanni POV

The deadline ended two days ago. After the attempted attack on Melody and hope, I made sure they were heavily guarded by security. I took time from the office for those two days and also postponed the Chinese project that Melody was in charge of. For those two days, I tried to come up with something to lure George out and sent him to prison once and for all but none came. No ideal came for those two days and I got frustrated to the point that I locked myself inside my room for twelve hours until Melody came to find me. When I opened the door for her and she saw my state, she gave me a warm hug.

"It's going to be okay, " she assured me.

"I just want this to be over with," I confessed. "I want everything to end so we could pick up from where we ended things," I poured out my mind because that was how I felt at that moment. I wanted the emptiness that had been in my heart for a long to be filled with warmth.

"I'll always be there for you," Melody's word sent an assurance to me that everything was going to be fine but I had a mixed feeling that something was bound to happen.

"I just want to be happy," I confessed. I wanted to have what others have. The family that loves them, the money, and happiness. I just want all of it.

"You'll be happy. "

I hugged her tightly as I thought about how it would have been perfect if nothing had to us on our wedding night. As I drowned in my thoughts, my phone rang on the desk beside my bed and I rushed to pick it up thinking it was George.

"Hello Kendra," I answered the call.

"Giovanni, I've found a way to get George." Kendra sounded excited on phone and I couldn't wait to hear what she had to say. "Set a meeting with your family. Lara has offered to help in tracking down George so I'll come over with her to your office tomorrow. "

"Thank you," I appreciated.

"Come along with Melody tomorrow. I want to see her," she requested and before I could argue, she ended the call.

"Who was it?" Melody asked.

"Kendra. She said she has an idea to get George." I informed her.

"I'm coming with you." She offered and I nodded in agreement. I couldn't argue with her because Kendra had requested that I let her come with me." we are going to be fine."

"I hope so," I replied with a smile. Ever since we found out the truth about ourselves, we acted more like a stranger meeting for the first time than people who used to be in love. I wanted everything to be the same again once everything ended.

The next day came as fast as it should and by the time melody and I arrived at the office, my family, Kendra, and Lara was already around. I ushered them into my office and requested that Anita served everyone a cup of coffee and biscuit. Uncle Benjamin, Lorenzo, and Lucas sat on one of the couches while Kendra, Melody, and Lara sat opposite them. I took my seat behind the desk and waited for what Kendra had to say.

"I purposely called this meeting because I know how to catch George," Kendra began.

"And we are listening," Lucas replied sarcastically. The truth took a great toll on him as he was still finding it hard to believe that he was my half-brother. "You didn't call us here to listen to your pep talk did you?" He questioned.
