His soul-Chapter 397: Giovana’s request

Massimo smiled, he slowly walked closer to Gina. When he arrived in front of Gina, Massimo slowly grabbed Gina’s face, caressed it gently and stopped on Gina’s wet lips. "I want you to use your mouth."

"I do not want."

"What?"

"My stomach is uncomfortable, Massimo," Gina said quietly, refusing Massimo’s request carefully.

Massimo narrowed his eyes, the memory of the incident at the restaurant this afternoon when Gina suddenly vomited as he forced her to eat more instantly made Massimo curse himself.

"Then take off all your clothes!"

"Massimo..."

"I don’t like the smell of Lucas that’s left on you right now, because he was holding his daughter," said Massimo curtly.

"Eh?"

Massimo immediately folded his arms across his chest. "Hurry up and wash yourself up before I change my mind and..."

"Ok I took a shower!!" Gina screamed loudly as she ran to the bathroom, without preparing her bath needs first. To be free from the clutches of Massimo who was going crazy, Gina was already very grateful.

While cursing her stupidity for not bringing clean underwear and sanitary pads, Gina was surprised by the appearance of Massimo who suddenly entered the bathroom, only wearing khakis that fit perfectly on his long legs. Massimo walked up to Gina.

"Why don’t you get out of the bathroom right away?"

Gina, who was being hypnotized by the arrangement of Massimo’s stomach muscles that were slightly covered in hair, was surprised when she heard Massimo’s question.

"Didn’t you finish your shower earlier?" asked Massimo again.

"I forgot to bring..."

"This?" Massimo interrupted Gina’s words while showing Gina the underwear and pads that were still intact, even though there was a tampon or menstrual cup, Gina was still more comfortable using sanitary pads.

"Yes."

Massimo smirked. "Take off your towel."

Gina immediately looked up at Massimo. "W-what do you mean?"

"There’s no point, I just wanted to make sure," said Massimo lightly as he moved his hand that was carrying Gina’s sanitary napkin,

"Making sure of what?"

"Making sure you really have your period or not."

Massimo’s unexpected answer immediately made Gina open her mouth wide, it felt like Gina’s sanity would soon be lost if she continued to face Massimo.

"Open it quickly, I want to see it," repeated Massimo impatiently.

"You’re not bothered by my menstrual blood? It’s only the third day, Massimo. There’s still plenty of blood capacity."

"I’m not a blood-allergic guy, so quickly take off your towel."

Even though Massimo had seen her many times without clothes, Gina felt awkward when Massimo asked her to take off the towel that was currently wrapping her bare body when her period was like this. The impatient Massimo cleared his throat, giving Gina a code to do what he wanted.

Realizing that Massimo’s will could not be resisted, Gina finally lifted the end of the towel from its folds and let it fall onto the bathroom floor which was still slightly wet, Massimo’s eyes were glaring at Gina’s thighs, which were now soaked with menstrual blood.

"Take this," Massimo said quietly as he extended his hand towards Gina.

Gina quickly grabbed her panties and pads from Massimo’s hands and immediately gripped them tightly, as if afraid that Massimo would snatch them back. Seeing that Massimo chuckled amusedly, after ruffling Gina’s hair which was tied up in a random manner, Massimo just walked out of the bathroom. As soon as the door was closed Gina immediately ran to the shower and cleaned the blood that stained her thighs.

"Ok, tomorrow then. You can arrange that right?"

Massimo lowered his voice when he saw Gina come out of the bathroom, the man’s smile widened as he looked at Gina who had wrapped her body in a bathrobe. Using a gesture Massimo pointed at Gina’s clothes on the bed.

"For me?" asked Gina quietly.

Massimo nodded slowly in response to Gina’s question and resumed his conversation with Martin on the phone, leaving Gina hugging the clothes that had been prepared beforehand. Not wanting to disturb Massimo, who looked very serious, Gina then put on the beautiful dress that Massimo had chosen for her. During the two weeks she was with Massimo, Gina had always worn the clothes Massimo liked, whether it was underwear or very light sleepwear. Gina did this so that Massimo would not be angry with her, at least that was one of the tips that Gina read in an online portal that discussed how to make her husband happy.

Gina smiled seeing how beautiful the dress Massimo had chosen for her was, the peach colored dress with lots of buttons from top to bottom made her look more fresh. Her high collar and long sleeves that cover her elbows make Gina look elegant, Massimo really has a great taste in clothes.

"This dress looks perfect when it’s on you, honey," Massimo whispered softly, suddenly hugging Gina from behind.

"Why buy clothes this expensive?"

Massimo smiled. "My wife has to wear the best things."

"Massimo..."

"Hmmm lavender, I love your scent, honey."

Gina bit her lower lip hard as she felt Massimo’s hot breath hit her skin.

"We will spend the night here, there is an important matter that must be resolved tonight in Barcelona," said Massimo hoarsely, smelling Gina’s scent directly from his skin gave the man a real headache.

"W-what? Are you serious?" squealed Gina loudly.

Massimo lifted his face from the back of Gina’s neck and stared at the mirror reflecting his reflection and Gina who was standing tall. "Why? Do you mind if we spend the night here? Well then we move to..."

"I don’t want to go back to that castle," Gina interrupted quickly. "No Massimo, I don’t want to go back to your terrible castle. I’m afraid."

One of Massimo’s eyebrows rose. "Afraid?" he repeated two octaves up.

"Yeah, the castle feels scary to me. Moreover, you’ve also brought women back to that place so many times, sometimes I feel like I’m part of those women."

Massimo growled. "There are two things you should know and remember carefully, my dear. First, the castle is the hereditary home of our family, the rulers of Barcelona for hundreds of years. So you don’t have to be afraid to live in that place, secondly you are my wife. The duty of a wife is to follow her husband wherever he lives."

Gina shook her head quickly, her tear-filled eyes staring at Massimo through the glass. "I don’t want to, that place holds too many bad memories for me."

"What, bad memories?" growled Massimo again, his anger at its head.

Gina’s tears dripped slowly, Gina couldn’t bear to mention all the bad memories Massimo had done to her in the castle. Seeing Gina crying silently with a face that looked very frightened and depressed, Massimo’s selfishness and arrogance fell. Using his two big hands, Massimo turned Gina’s body to face him before he finally hugged her tightly.

"Shhhh," Massimo whispered softly. "Well if you don’t want to go back to the castle we don’t need to go there, tonight we’ll just stay at this house, okay."

Gina nodded her head quickly in response to Massimo’s words, even so she still didn’t want to lift her face from Massimo’s chest where she leaned her face.

Since he still had two hours before dinner, Massimo invited Gina to lie down on the bed without letting go of his grip on her. Massimo let his arm become a pillow for Gina, Gina who initially just wanted to relax for a while finally fell asleep. Massimo’s refreshing citrus and woody scent makes Gina sleep well.

"You crybaby, you’re an adult, honey. Why do you still cry so much, you’re not a nineteen year old girl anymore," Massimo whispered exasperatedly, staring at Gina’s peaceful face in her sleep making Massimo feel warm.

***

Lucas Dom’s Mansion.

It had been almost two hours since Lucas had been sitting in his study alone since coming home from the mall, his reunion with Massimo and Gina made Lucas uneasy. Especially after learning the surprising fact about Gina who turned out to be the one who saved her daughter at the Paris airport a few weeks ago. The kind-hearted woman who made Giovana continue to talk about her for a day at that time turned out to be the woman who had stolen his heart many years ago.

"Why did you have to appear before me with Massimo, Gina?" Lucas said sadly, his chest hurting as he remembered what Massimo had done to Gina. "I should be the one beside you, not that bastard...arrgghh Fuck!"

Words after curses finally escaped Lucas’s lips, the wounds he had tried to heal for years were now wet again. His jealousy of Massimo resurfaced. Even though Giovana is by his side now but Lucas still can’t let go of Gina, his desire to make Gina his wife and mother of his children is complete.

When Lucas’ mind was wandering, remembering his sweet memories with Gina six years ago, suddenly the door to his study was opened from the outside. Giovana’s small figure who was yawning was clinging to Rafael’s body who was carrying her.

"Baby, why aren’t you sleeping yet?" Lucas asked softly.

Giovana who was already in his father’s arms smiled broadly. "Ana is looking for Daddy."

"Looking for Daddy? Daddy’s not going anywhere, honey." Lucas rubbed his face against Giovana’s smooth cheeks to make the little girl laugh, his signature move. And as one might have guessed, Giovana chuckled as she felt the hairs on her father’s face hit her cheeks.

"Ana wants to meet that beautiful aunty again, Daddy," said Giovana suddenly, her small hand holding Lucas’ lips which was about to kiss him again.

"Eh?"

"Aunty that we saw at the mall, Daddy. Ana wants to play with her, can Daddy?" asked Giovana innocently.

Lucas looked into Giovana’s eyes with a tight chest. "The beautiful aunty is asleep, honey. Is it already late," Lucas answered hoarsely.

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Giovana’s beautiful face, her two round eyes immediately turned sad.

"Oh baby..."

"If we can’t do it today, can we meet her tomorrow, Daddy?" asked Giovana hopefully with watery eyes, never feeling a mother’s love since birth made Giovana instantly have great admiration for Gina. Her first meeting in Paris at that time was very memorable for Giovana.

Unable to bear to see his daughter again disappointed, Lucas quickly agreed to his daughter’s request. Hearing her father’s promise, Giovana screamed with joy. Her two small hands then hugged Lucas’ neck tightly. With tears in his eyes, Lucas gave an order to Rafael who had been a loyal listener to find out where Massimo and Gina were staying tonight, the obedient Rafael immediately carried out the order he had just received without arguing.

After Rafael left, Lucas returned to focus on his baby. The most beautiful gift he had had over the past four years, Giovana’s existence was like a temporary antidote to his pain of losing Gina.

"I’ve succumbed to you once, Massimo. This time I won’t repeat my mistake, I’ll use all means to get Gina back."
