“Why do I make you so uncomfortable, kitten?" His voice was low and husky, but I blinked fearlessly and answered, "Your reputation?" His eyes darkened, "I have a reputation?" Was he joking? "There are speculations that your methods and theories with women are a bit–" "Spooky?" He completed with a smirk. "And complicated." I added in one breath. He stood up, leaned closer so that our faces were just inches apart, and whispered, "But do you think I'm spooky, kitten?" I gulped, and stared fearlessly into his ocean green eyes, "Certainly not." "Then why do you look like you are about to drop dead?" Nothing of course, except the fact that I am about to sell my virginity to you for three million dollars. ** ** ** To the world, he is the enigmatic Capo of the Cosa Mosino, a ruthless killer machine, very organized and controlling.

As soon as we stepped out of the car, Ignacio's men surrounded us, eyeing me suspiciously. One of them particularly, a burly brute fellow with an ugly scar running down his left cheek, a scar which I could easily tell was an unfading signature from my brother, Marcel.The man stepped forward, seizing me like his eyes alone were enough to lay out all my plans before him. He flexed his burly muscles menacingly, sniffing the air like a wolf in heat while I remained unfazed and just returned his gaze with a hard one of own.“Why have you come?” He asked in a deep voice. "Tell Ignacio I'm here," I replied curtly, my tone brief and dismissive.“He's not expecting you.” The man returned icily.“Well, he has something of mine that I need, so it doesn't matter whether or not he's expecting me, I'm here to collect it.”The thug exchanged
Chapter 89RUSSEL~~~°~~~“Fucking New York,” I cursed silently, “I don’t know which one I hate more, the city or the people in it.” I mused as we entered the car. Kegan looked watched me through the mirror and grinned, “You're about to become an in law there, how sweet does that sound?” “Fuck you!” I hissed loudly. I rested my head on the seat and closed my eyes as Kegan drove out of the estate. The nostalgia was there, more than I had ever felt about leaving this house. But so was the resentment bubbling deep inside me. Fury burned within me like an unquenchable inferno as I tried to convince myself that it was the right thing to do. Her presence in my life would only keep driving me to inexplicable points, compelling me to shatter the carefully constructed barriers I had painstakingly built for years. No, I couldn’t give her that right. She was just another girl. Despite my conviction that it was the best thing to do, the pang of knowing I had hurt her gnawed at my insides,
Chapter 88ALESSIA~~~°~~~I woke up started, my eyes hazy and my entire body feeling like I had been run over by a whole train the night before. I leaned against the headrest and allowed myself a moment before finally opening my eyes. Last night, I had the most terrifying nightmare. I sighed, but then the first thing my eyes registered was the unfamiliarity of the bed I was lying in. I looked up, scanning the entire room urgently, that was when I realized that I was indeed in Russel's room. Oh my God, so last night was not a dream?Quickly, I got out of bed, rushed to Russel's closet and grabbed one of his shirts which I hastily put on. Then I ran out of the room, all the way down the stairs. My throat was burning from all the screams, sobs and desperate cries I had made last night, a desperate attempt to get Russel to let me go, but he didn’t.Kegan was the first person I found, he was standing at the foot of the stairs, directing some men who were dragging some stuff outside. Wh
Chapter 87ALLESIA~~~°~~~⚠️ A BIT TRIGGERING⚠️I was startled awake by a sudden noise, or so I thought. Shooting into a sitting position, I absentmindedly rubbed my hands over my eyes as I scanned the room, a desperate attempt to get my brain to register my surroundings. My mother was lying beside me, after what happened yesterday, which I still didn't understand because she wouldn’t tell me anything, she was still scared, even too scared to visit the restroom herself or return to her assigned room. I pulled the sheet down and quietly snuck out of the bed, ignoring the dull ache at the back of my head. My eyes were stinging from a familiar burn from all the lack of sleep I've had to endure, and yet I was so sure I hadn't slept up to an hour tonight. With a sigh, I strolled towards the dressing mirror, picked my phone and gasped when I saw the time. It was past one in the morning and Russel wasn't back, or if he was, he hadn't sent for me. I had waited up for him all through the n
Chapter 86RUSSEL~~~°~~~Nikolai's revelation was cut off by the sudden buzzing of my phone. When I checked, it was Kegan.“What's up?” I asked, my eyes darting back to Nikolai, who returned my stare with an obvious frown.“I need you back right away,” Kegan replied urgently.I rose from the bed swiftly, ready to leave without wasting another minute. The urgency in Kegan's voice was enough to tell me all I needed to know. “What's going on?” Nikolai demanded seriously, his tone betraying a hint of concern.“I don't know. Kegan says it's urgent,” I replied, already halfway out the door. Without waiting to see if he followed, I took long strides towards the exit, the urgency in my steps palpable.Outside, the hot afternoon air hit my face as I reached my car, with Nikolai following close behind. When he entered, I revved the engine to a start and sped towards the warehouse. Nikolai remained understandably silent during the drive, but I could tell that the weight of his half revelation
Chapter 85RUSSEL ~~~°~~~I stormed out of the house, unable to understand the reason for the rage that was brewing inside me. Trust old ladies to fuck up your day, as if fucking up your entire existence was not enough. Allesia’s mother was knocking on death’s door if she imagined she would force her away.I walked to my car, deciding to drive today since tasked Luca with watching Allesia closely and keeping a close eye on that chicken shit brother of hers. The entire building was swarming with my soldiers and with the instructions that no one was to be allowed in or out without my explicit permission in place, the security system had been restored and the estate security doubled.Everything was perfectly in place for now, all I had to do was find those bastards who thought they could send some foolish tech boys in here and leave alive and send them back to hell. I parked the car in front of the warehouse, the soldiers acknowledging my presence with a nod as I stepped out. Striding
Chapter 84ALLESIA ~~~°~~~Renzo's gaze swept over me, his expression demanding, “What happened to her?” He asked for the fifth time. “She fainted.” I was the same response I gave each time he asked. Renzo paced the length of the room furiously, but I sat there, oddly calm. Luca was inside the room with us, while two other soldiers were stationed just outside the room. Dr. Ramola said she just needs to rest, but I was growing impatient by the minute. She had slept through the night, even though she said her heart was stable and she would wake up any moment from now.“This is all his fault.” Renzo muttered, more to himself than to me, “He brought us here and suddenly all this is happening.” “Fuck off, Renzo.” I hissed. He glanced at me, his expression unreadable, “You've changed so much, Allesia and it's all his fault. What has he turned you into? Gunshots, drugs, dead bodies, blood, is that what you do now? Like seeing all this doesn't even move you?”“Keep talking nonsense and I
Chapter 83RUSSEL~~~°~~~It took Luca leading Allesia’s mother into the hall for me to release her. She ran to her mother and they both clung to each other while I watched. Her mother looked shaken to the bones, but at least she was alive. You could tell the depth of their bond from that singular gesture, the relief on their faces as they cried on each other’s shoulders. I wondered for a split second if Melissa could ever share such a bond with Hyacinth. A pang of guilt tugged at my heart, the very imagination of how devastated Allesia would have felt if her mother had died today made me recoil. Luca's arrival brought a brief respite from the swirling emotions. "Where did you find her?" I asked Luca as I watched them. "She was in the guest room, awakened by the gunshots," Luca explained, “Glad I got there before they did, the story would have been different otherwise.”My gaze lingered on Allesia, she looked so like a kid, resting there on the crook of her mother's neck. Guilt gna
Chapter 82ALLESIATWO HOURS EARLIER ~~~°~~~I took my mum to a room so she could rest for a while before they leave since Renzo said he didn't want them to spend too long here because he didn't know how long he could continue lying to her about my relationship with Russel.“You wear these now?” Elletra was holding a lingerie as she posed before the large mirror. I smiled, “Russel bought a ton of them. You can have some if you want.”Elletra turned abruptly, her eyes scanning me with a twisted look, “Just this?” I frowned a bit, “What else? She scoffed, “Why do I feel like you've suddenly become this whole new person I do not recognize anymore.”At this point I was obviously lost, “What do you mean? I'm still Allesia, your best friend–”“Who you've spent over a month without hearing from!” She exploded, “You never wanted to come here, I convinced you! Suddenly you are everything you advised me against back then.”“What do you mean? You know perfectly well that between Russel and I
