I've never been this nervous about anything in my life. We were flying back to America today. Liam and I had exchanged numbers and contacts so that he could check up on me when I'm back home. After a week of debating with my self as well as some advice from Kathleen, I had decided to try luck in explaining things to Gio. However, I didn't think I was going to tell him about the baby -well at least not yet. Even though we were returning to New York where he was I was still not sure if him finding me just yet would be wise. I just didn't know if a month was enough for him to not be as angry with me, or change his mind about wanting me dead.

We were boarding Dominic's jet that he not so willingly send back for us. It was after just a couple minutes past one pm here and because of the six hours time difference between here and New York I decided before boarding the plane I would try calling Gio seeing his reaction to hearing from me before I left for New York. It was after seven in the morning there. then I'd be dumping my phone. I know if I call him he was going to track the call in order to find my location. I stopped outside at the plane's air stairs. Taking out my phone from my pocket.

"Is everything alright Lexi?" Kathleen asked noticing that I had stopped.

"Yeah, I'm fine I'm just going to make a call before, you go ahead" I said to her.

"Alright" Kathleen nodded climbing up the steps.

I sighed as I started dialling Gio's number which I still had memorized in my head. Hopefully he haven't change his number and I'd be able to get to him. I sighed nervously as I put the phone to my ear and heard it started ringing. After about the second ring I heard him answered. I haven't heard his voice over a month now and the sound of his voice sounding so deep and his rich accent sent all kinds of emotions rushing through me.

"Ciao Giovanni Cavelli" Gio answered.

I didn't know what to say, I just stood there with the phone at my ears breathing in and out. I couldn't help miss hearing his voice.

"Who is this?" Gio asked. But for some reason I couldn't answer. "I can hear you breathing on the other end so if you have something to say do so now because I'm hanging up"

"Its me" I said finally closing my eyes waiting to hear his wrath.

"Lexi" Gio said coldly.

"Hi" I said nervously.

"Listen to me. You don't hi me, because I'm going to find you and when I do you're gonna wish you were never born. Don't think you can hide for the rest of your life you lying bitch!" Gio growled angrily.

Well that's sure does stung I'm not going to lie. A month ago I was the love if his life and now I was being labelled as a bitch?

"Gio you don't need to resort to name calling. It hurts trust me. Anyway I need to talk to you and I want you to hear me out okay. I never ..."

"I don't want to hear anything from you Lexi, the minute you thought about betraying me then shooting me in the shoulder was the minute you lost that opportunity" Gio said to me. "You've done nothing more than lie and being deceptive ever since I met you. You better hope I don't find you in whatever hole you're hiding!"

"Look, I didn't mean to hurt you. Not by hiding things from you or shooting you. That was just my self defense reflexes coming out, you were pointing a gun at me for Christ sakes!" I said to him. "I'm sorry, but I was hoping we could talk and when you aren't that mad at..."

"Oh we are going to talk Ms. Luciano. We definitely will, or more like you will one way or the other. You've made a fool out of me and I'm sure you know how it goes when you make a fool out of a man like me" Gio said coldly. "After all your father and your brother is just as ruthless..."

"Gio please. I'm..." I started to say but Gio cut me off.

"Lexi when I find you please is just one of the words you're gonna be begging. You're going to find out what its like to mess with Giovanni Cavelli." Gio said seriously. "Right after I make you talk and finished confessing all your deceitful actions, I'm going make sure that I'm the one that personally take my knife and slit..."

At hearing that I hung up the phone on him not wanting to hear the ending of that statement. I gasped looking at my phone as if it was a ten headed monster. Gio sounded really scary and really serious about his threat, I've never heard him sounding like this before. His threats of what he want to do to me when he catch me was all too graphically disturbing. I was really considering what Dominic said about staying here, but I know I just couldn't stay away or hide for the rest of my life. I guess Gio was really mad at me for not being who he thought I was. If I couldn't get through to him over a phone even when I tried apologizing, I guess telling him about this baby was definitely out of the picture.

I sighed before dropping my phone my phone on the ground then stomping on it with my shoes heel causing it to be smashed into pieces. That's probably exactly what Gio wants to do to me right now smash me into pieces. I shook my head at the thought before ascending the steps. I saw Kathleen sitting down in one of the seats and I walked down to where she was sighing as I sat down and closing my eyes.

"What's wrong?" Kathleen asked concerned.

"Nothing new really" I sighed opening my eyes and looking at her. "Just that my ex-boyfriend thinks I'm a lying bitch who he proceeded to give graphical images of how he's going to get back at me"

"You called him?" Kathleen asked in surprise.

"Yeah" I nodded.

"So did you tell him about, you know...the baby?"

"No. I didn't get a chance to" I replied. "I was hoping he could suppressed his anger towards me long enough for us to maybe talk but instead he just wanted to enlightened me about the ways in which he's gonna destroy me".

"Lexi, I don't think he means that" Kathleen said to me. "Maybe if he learns about the baby he won't be so mad at you".

"Kathleen, I don't think an unborn baby is gonna be warm enough to melt Gio's cold heart again right now" I sighed. "As far as I know Gio make up his mind to hurt me and if he wanna hurt me that means he may hurt this baby too. I've made my decision, I'm just not gonna tell him about it".

Giovanni's POV

I had just came out of the shower and went to my room to start getting dressed for work when my phone started ringing. I finished quickly buttoning my slacks before picking it up. I looked at the callers ID, it wasn't from any number I knew. I answered it any way.

"Ciao Giovanni Cavelli" I answered.

I didn't hear anyone replied but I know there was someone still on the other end because I could hear the soft breathing.

"Who is this?" I asked. "I can hear you breathing on the other end so if you have something to say do so now because I'm hanging up"

"Its me" I heard a soft voice that I'd know anywhere spoke up.

"Lexi" I said coldly.

"Hi" Lexi replied sounding nervous.

She should be. She's made a fool out of me and been lying ever since she stepped into my club that night. Even worst she shot me and bash Lucas across the face with a gun to get out of my place when I confronted her, an innocent person wouldn't do that. She's obviously been hiding ever since that day. I've been looking all over for her, I've sent my guys to search for her but it was like she had disappeared off the face of the earth. Even tracking her car and phone I came up with nothing, she was obviously smarter than she had let on, and really knows how to cover her tracks. She was going to regret the day she had thought to double crossed me.

"Listen to me. You don't hi me, because I'm going to find you and when I do you're gonna wish you were never born. Don't think you can hide for the rest of your life you lying bitch!" I growled angrily.

"Gio you don't need to resort to name calling. It hurts trust me. Anyway I need to talk to you and I want you to hear me out okay. I never ..." She started saying but I cut her off.

"I don't want to hear anything from you Lexi, the minute you thought about betraying me then shooting me in the shoulder was the minute you lost that opportunity" I said to her. "You've done nothing more than lie and being deceptive ever since I met you. You better hope I don't find you in whatever hole you're hiding!"

"Look, I didn't mean to hurt you. Not by hiding things from you or shooting you. That was just my self defense reflexes coming out, you were pointing a gun at me for Christ sakes!" Lexi replied. "I'm sorry, but I was hoping we could talk and when you aren't that mad at..."

"Oh we are going to talk Ms. Luciano. We definitely will, or more like you will one way or the other. You've made a fool out of me and I'm sure you know how it goes when you make a fool out of a man like me" I said coldly. "After all your father and your brother is just as ruthless..."

"Gio please. I'm..." Lexi started.

"Lexi when I find you please is just one of the words you're gonna be begging. You're going to find out what its like to mess with Giovanni Cavelli." I said seriously. "Right after I make you talk and finished confessing all your deceitful actions, I'm going make sure that I'm the one that personally take my knife and slit your throat"

I then heard the phone hang up on me. I took it from my ears before looking at the screen seeing that the call had indeed ended. I must have scared her, good she should be scared because I'm a serious man of my words. She's been doing a good job so far hiding for the past month but I was going to find her very soon in fact thanks to her very own help from this special phone call.
