His greatest love.

Chapter 1.

He leaned his head against the headrest of his seat exhaustion flooding his body. It was a long day but the night was still young.

"Babe which earrings look better??" Cara said walking in wearing a beautiful red evening gown that hugged her body in all the right place with her cleavage exposed adequately sexy.

"Any will look good!!" He said glancing at his watch.

"I need your imput here Giovanni at the very least you can just pay some attention to me!!!" She said and he looked at her.

"Cara am exhausted and am trying to get to this anniversary so get any fucking earing that you like and let's go!!!" He said coldly leaving the room.

He stood along the rails when his right hand stood beside him.

"Gio I think this anniversary is a mistake!!" Matteo said seriously.

"I know Matteo especially with everything going on right now!!!" Gio said silently.

"You are the Don-"

"And he's still my dad so do you think I can use the very power he had for over a decade against him??"

"Fair point but we are still too exposed... Anything can happen!!!"

"Just tighten the security there's nothing much we can do!!! It's his event his rules!!!"

"Yes boss!!!"

Cara came out of the room still furious about the tone Giovani spoke to her with but she covers it with a smile and enthusiasm. The last thing she wanted was having everyone realize there is friction between her and Giovanni.

"Am ready to go!!!" Cara said smiling.

"See you there boss!!!" Matteo said tapping Gio on the shoulder as he left.

"You look beautiful!!" Gio said lightly stretching out his arm for her to hold.

"Thank you baby!!" Cara said wrapping her fingers around his biceps. They gracefully decended the staircase and headed out of the house where the security held the back door open for them. As soon as they were inside of the luxurious car the driver drove off accompanied by four suv security cars two at front and two at back.

"How is work?? I don't think we've had the time to talk!!" Cara said lightly turning to him.

"Work is good the company chain has had an overflow profits so it's good!!" Gio said calmly.

"I know your business chain is doing great however that's not the business am referring to!!" Cara said lightly and he took in a frustrated sigh.

"How many times do I have to tell you that business is not your concern!!"

"Am just worried you are over exerting yourself!!!"

"Am a grown man Cara I can take care of myself!!!"

"I know you can but I love you so I can't stop myself from worrying about you!!!"

"Cara I won't lie to you I am extremely exhausted and right now you asking a lot of questions is not helping me at all so how about you be quiet for the rest of the night??" Gio said coldly turning his head lightly towards her and she turned away looking through the window for the reminder of the ride.

They arrived at the luxuriously decorated venue where prominent people from across the world came on an invitation. The atmosphere was surreal even as they walked in side by side everybody intimidated by Giovanni's presence in the event. They saw the hosts of the party and walked to them.

"Pa'!! Ma'!!" Gio said a perfectly charming genuine smile on his face and they all turned to him.

"Son!!!" The old man with similar fixtures to him gave him a loving hug.

"Happy Anniversary!!!" Gio said lightly hugging his mother.

"Thank you son!!! Look at you bambino you look so exhausted!!!!" His mother said completely ignoring Cara who awkwardly wished them a happy anniversary.

They talked for a while as his parents introduced him to several people. Time flew by so fast and it was time for Gio's dad to give a speech. He went up to the stage as everyone clapped.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!! Thank you for coming to celebrate me and my beautiful wife on this beautiful occasion!!" He started as everyone clapped in unison.

"I remember when I was trying to get her to go out with me and she kept turning me down!!! She was so stubborn always playing difficult with me!!" Everyone laughed as his wife pointed a playful finger ot him.

"But you know she couldn't keep escaping my charms and now here we are thirty eight years of marriage two sons Giovanni and Adriano and my beloved daughter Maliah!!! We've built a beautiful life and I wouldn't change anything that happened because one way or the other it led us to here!! The most beautiful part of my life!!! I love you my Clarita!!!" Clarita blew him a kiss as everyone clapped.

"Now let's raise a toast... " He raised his glass up as everyone stood up with their glasses of the finest wine.

"To my beautiful wife and the time we have ahead!!! Cheers!!!"

"Cheers!!!" Everyone said in unison as they cheered when suddenly multiple gunshots was heared. Everyone ducked for cover when suddenly Clarita screamed looking over to see her husband lying on the ground bleeding. Giovanni and Clarita rushed to his father's side as gunshots kept rising.

"Call an ambulance now!!!!!!!!" Giovanni yelled as he held on to his dad applying pressure on the bleeding but they were multiple. The gunshots ended and the ambulance could be heared from a distance.

The paramedics arrived and rushed him sending everyone away from him.

"Sir we are here to help!!!" The lady said to Gio as she checked his pulse.

"I have a pulse it's very weak!!" She said to her colleague and he gave him an injection.

They placed him on the bed and wheeled him to the ambulance but Clarita went with them.

"Gio!!!" Matteo said rushing to him.

"Tell me you caught the ones responsible for this!!!" Gio said coldly as Cara rushed to his side.

"We did!!!" Matteo said silently.

"Good then bring to-"

"They'll be of no use!!! They are dead!!!"

"Fuck!!!" Gio cursed angrily.

"You go to Aunt Clarita I'll handle everything here!!!" Matteo said silently and Gio tapped his shoulder.

"Am coming with you Gio!!!" Cara said suddenly.

"No the driver will take you home!!" Gio said coldly before getting in his car and driving off.
