The Trillionaire's Highest Bid

Chapter 28

Miognette's POV

♠️

It's 4:30 Pm and we're finally on our way back to the villa. Today was exhausting. I was slapped and Gio almost killed a guy but At least he didn't. This man and his temper.

I turned my head to look at him and thought,

Before he was so rough and cold. He used to look at me with a gaze that would send thousands of daggers through my soul. But now? He looks at me gently and caring. His attitude also changed. I'm one to talk though. I used to hate the man. Every bit of his being I wanna stab but now I don't feel that anymore. I became more understanding of him.

Gio must've sensed my gaze cause he turned to look at me with a questioning look.

"What is it?" He said gently

"Nothing. Thank you for protecting me back there but was the gun necessary?" I asked half-heartedly.

"Yes. He hurt you I don't want anyone doing that to you." He said sternly his eyes glued to the road.

"I know. But you don't have to kill people you know. There is always an alternative." I replied

"Like what?" He asked

"Forgiveness. People make mistakes Gio. All you need to do is understand and somewhere inside your heart you'll find it it's easier to forgive." I replied

He just stayed silent and continued driving.

We stayed silent the whole ride, nothing but the stereo music and the sound of the engine roaring. For a few minutes, the huge villa came to view. As we got closer I noticed 3 black SUVs parked in the parking area.

I turned my head towards Gio and he seemed to know about it since he doesn't look as confused as me.

The car came to a halt and we got outside. I went inside and was greeted by a lot of workers.

"Signorina, Mrs. Sofia Orlov is waiting in the drawing-room to see you."

"Really?" I exclaimed and skipped to the drawing-room.

I opened the door to reveal Sofia reading a book and sipping tea.

"SOFIA!!" I called out excitedly and spread my arms wide opening

She stood up and rushed to give me a tight hug.

"What are you doing here?!" I said parting our hug.

"Well, I came here to give you my wedding gift."

"Oh, you don't have to."

"Please, I insist." She said and took out a little pamphlet.

We sat down and Gio came into the room.

"Good evening Ms. Orlov." He greeted

"Please call me Sofia, I sound old if you address me like that." She said giggling

Giovanni nodded. He then turned the attention to me,

"What's that?" He asked

I opened the little pamphlet and saw pictures of grasslands, with the flag of Switzerland on the top right corner.

"Switzerland?"

"YES! WE, MY FRIEND, ARE GOING ON A GIRLS TRIP TO SWITZERLAND FOR A WEEK!" She exclaimed

"Just the two of us?" I asked curiously still in awe about her gift.

"Well no. Kristoffer has a meeting and can't come with us but he will meet us there and I'm guessing your hubby would too." She said and gave Gio a knowing look.
