Little Dark Secrets

Life of Impatience

Jolene sat in the prison and just held her face in her hands for 30 minutes. James and the guards couldn't get her to leave.

For two weeks Jolene has tried to reach out and talk to Vincent but he wouldn't budge. He would only take his medicine if she would leave after. He just needed time. To digest the situation.

She was absolutely devastated. Vincent was surely going to disown her. She was a liar and a troublesome child that cause him more harm than good.

She didn't even want this stupid baby. It was dangling over her head holding her subject to disappointment, embarrassment and Gianni.

"Jolene go home." Vincent's voice came from behind the glass again. She looked up with watery eyes.

"Please papa don't hate me. I'm so so sorry I'm a traitor I know I'm sorry." She sniffled. "Jolene just get home you're stressed that's bad for the baby. Please go home."

"We will have to go to the main Giordano house Jo." James whispered in her ear. She nodded and sniffled.

"Please Dad say something to me." She begged.

"You never f*cking listen to people and that's your downfall." Vincent deadpanned.

Jolene sadness was not something Vincent liked but she has been acting out for far too long and now she's pregnant by one of the last people in the planet he would want her to mix family ties with.

"Do you hate me?" Her lip quivered. Only Vincent could make Jolene do a 180 to become a scared little girl.

"I could never hate you. Don't start with that bullsh*t. You know I love you more than anything. But I am pissed Jo. Because you don't think about anything you just do. You do what you want and never thing if any consequences. You think you're untouchable and it has brought out the worst in you. So again I say leave Jolene because my patience is running thin and because you are pregnant I'm giving you leeway to just go. I need a minute.

Jolene knew she really had to go because Vincent was going to lose it. His temper was unstoppable the only person who could tame him was gone. So she had to give him time alone.

"Let's get you back before Gianni starts to worry." James rubbed her shoulders comfortingly. Jo nodded and took her uncles arm as she walked out of the prison with her head down.

"He just needs time Jo. Use it to make the most of the situation you're in. You're going to be a mother now. It's time to be calm and smart."

Jo stayed silent the whole ride.

Gianni just finished up buying a casino off of a very wealthy man from the Cape. His mood wasn't too shabby. He was going to be making a lot of money.

The past couple of weeks went well. He hasn't been shot down dead yet and Jolene and him just kind of coexisted. She did her own work on the side while going to the prison every second of the day. They haven't argued yet, but Gianni didn't want to jinx it.

They had to stay in the main house for a few days while the pipes in the hideaway got fixed. He was glad he missed his dog.

As soon as he opened the door he was greeted with the smell of peppermint. Meaning one thing only...

"Gianni where have you been!" Catelina rushed to his side before catching him off guard and wrapping her arms around him.

"You have been gone for ages and didn't bother to tell me." She frowned. Gianni raised an eyebrow. She must have been really insane.
