His greatest love.

Chapter 6

"Freedom!!!" Maliah said excitedly as they left the hospital reception.

"Finally!!! I thought we'd be gone earlier in the day!!!" Liam said carrying the duffle bag Clarissa brought to the hospital.

"The important thing is I get to sleep in my bed!!!" Lorenzo said and everyone agreed as they got to the front of the hospital where the cars were waiting for them. They got into the cars with Clarissa and Lorenzo in one, Liam and Maliah in another and Gio alone with respective drivers to drive them home. The cars were leaving when the car ahead of Lorenzo's car broke down causing them to stop. Gio leaned back to his seat his frustration on his relationship with Cara clouding his mind. He had successfully been able to avoid her since the party using his dad as an excuse but now he had to deal with her tantrums. He slowly looked out the window trying to clear his mind when he saw Dr Pierce still in her scrubs but with a brown leather jacket walking to a silver grey Lexus and he silently smirked.

"Of course being a surgeon pays a lot!!" He said silently to himself as he watched her get inside the car. He heard the engine power as the car started and quietly exited the parking lot into the exit line he was on.

"I'll be back!!" Gio said to the driver before exiting the car. He walked back to the silver grey Lexus and gently knocked on the driver's window before it went down.

"I hope you're not the one holding up this exit!!!" Dr Pierce said casually and Gio chuckled.

"Nope but I am taking advantage of it!!" Gio said calmly and Dr Pierce smirked lightly.

"What can I do for you Mr De Luca??"

"First you can drop the Mr!!"

"Not happening so what do you need??"

"Your business card incase of an emergency that is!!"

"Call 911 or the hospital it's in the invoice for your discharge!!!" Dr Pierce said and he chuckled lightly.

"Maybe I can buy you dinner then considering you can't be drinking!!!" Gio said calmly and Dr Pierce rolled her eyes playfully.

"I can buy my own food plus am married!!!" Dr Pierce said calmly.

"I don't see a ring!!!"

"But you see my baby bump!!!"

"Very beautiful might I add!!!"

"The cars are about to move!!!"

"Just dinner!!!"

"Have a good evening Mr De Luca!!!" Dr Pierce said rolling up her window and Gio chuckled lightly before walking back to his car. He got inside and after a brief moment the cars started moving and soon they were out. He looked to see if her car was using the same route but it took a different one and he sighed in amusement. It was the first time he was forward with a woman and it was the first time in his life to be turned down by a woman and that fascinated him. Her beauty was to perfection, her beautiful eyes and her smile was just mesmerizing lingering in his mind. She bruised his ego by turning him down but something about her made it impossible for him to figure her out. Despite everything he knew there is something connecting her with Detective Santos and that was his only priority.

The drive back to the mansion was quiet with a few business calls. They pulled up at the entrance and everyone got out but Gio's sixth sense was on full elert.

"Stop!!!" Gio said and Clarissa who was about to open the door stopped.

"Is everything okay Gio??" Maliah asked lightly as Gio took out his gun.

"I'll go in first!!!" Gio said walking to the front his gun firm in range. Everyone learnt the hard way on several different occasions that Gio's sixth sense was always impeccable because he perfect it. He silently opened the door and took an aim as he entered.

"What the hell!!" Gio said silently noticing the decorations in the house. He saw a figure moving and took an aim. He was seconds away from shooting when the figure came into view.

"Fuck!!!" Gio said silently before tucking the gun away.

"Cara!!!" Gio said coming into view and she turned around startled but immediately relaxed when she saw him.

"Babee!!! You should have called and told me that you were coming!!!" Cara said running to his arms giving him a warm hug.

"I didn't think I needed to!!!" Gio said darkly but Cara kissed him happily.

"Now you ruined the surprise!!!" Cara said whining.

"Not really!!! They are outside are you done here??" Gio said and Cara's eyes lit up.

"Give me a second first!!!" Cara said as she hurriedly gathered his most trusted employees one holding a bouquet on behalf of all of them.

"Clear!!! Come in!!!" Gio yelled as Cara held on to Gio's arm.

They all walked in looking around at the lavish decorated house in awe.

"Woowww this is cool!!!" Maliah said as everyone agreed taking in the beautiful decorations.

"Welcome home sir!!!" The loyal staff of the mansion said happily giving him the bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you everyone!!!" Lorenzo said happily.

"Welcome home dad!!!" Cara said going Lorenzo a cheek kiss as Clarissa smiled casually.

"Thank you Cara!!!" Lorenzo said lightly before Clarissa wheeled him inside.

"There's food!!!" Liam said happily and Maliah smacked his head playfully.

"All you ever think about is food!!!" Maliah said lightly.

"If you ate that's on you but I didn't eat shit!!!" Liam said as they walked to the dinner table.

"Are you sure?? You're breath smells like shit to me!!!" Maliah said cooly.

"My breath smells like mint stupid!!!" Liam said confidently.

"Whatever floats your boat brother!!!" Maliah said teasingly as Gio leaned against the wall.

"You look tired!!!" Cara said holding the back of his head.

"Did you actually organize this by yourself??" Gio said looking into her eyes.

"I did!!! I ordered everything yesterday and we spent the whole day preparing the house.

"Are you sure??" Gio said firmly.

"Of course I am!!!! Are you doubting me seriously after the effort I made!!!!" Cara said irritated and Gio sighed lightly.

"Am not doubting you!!!"

"It sounds like you are!!!"

"Look why don't we go inside and enjoy what you've organized???!" Gio said silently.

"Not until we settle why you are doubting me!!!!" Cara said angrily.

"It's not a big deal Cara it was just a question!!!"

"That means you think am stupid and I can't do anything by myself!!!"

"When the fuck did I say that?!!!"

"It's what you're implying!!!!"

"You know what Cara, I can't deal with this now!!!!" Gio said silently before walking away leaving her standing there boiling in her own anger.
