Nicole.

I silently sigh in relief when he sits back down. I wouldn't want Leo to see this.

It feels like I'm disappointing my brother and at the same time my heart is stuck.

I just want him around. His embrace is different from anyone's and there is something about his scent.

I felt him leave the room because I wasn't sleeping, just wanted to be in his arms even if it was just for a day.

I miss Alessio.

He doesn't need to talk to me or hold me, his presence alone is enough to calm my heart.

Call me stupid and I won't blame you.

My brother is still angry at him and he made me promise not to see him again. But I can't, my heart can't stop beating for him.

He is the water that needs to quench my thirst. The fresh air that I desperately need in my lungs to survive.

I miss him so much it hurts.

I just wish I could change him. Have the ability to take away all the darkness in his heart and replace it with kindness and love for me.

But I can't, he is known as the ruthl

  • A DANGEROUS ATTRACTION.   Chapter 19

    Alessio. She was so angry when she left, and my advisor Luca, told me to let her cool down first. We have been waiting for her to come back but she is still in her room. Liam refused to tell us what he was about to tell her claiming that it was only for her ears.No one is talking. Luca is immersed in the movie he is watching and Leo is on his laptop like always. We left the guy in the basement until we get all the information we want from him and he won't talk if Nicole is not around. So bored to death, I decide to peek on her. Thankfully her room is next to the guest room that Leo said I can use. I silently open her door and the lights are on. Nicole is already on her bed and she looks asleep. With slow silent steps, I approach her but abruptly stop when I hear a murmur of my name. "Alessio..." she whispers, turning about on her bed. Her legs keep clenching and I can only imagine the wicked things I'm doing to her in her dreams. I'm so glad that I affect her this much.

  • A DANGEROUS ATTRACTION.   Chapter 20

    Nicole I can't believe I gave in. This man is like a drug and made me his addict from the first day. He is everywhere, in my head mostly. I have tried to ignore these feelings but they are strong than my mind. I don't know what to do anymore. He is toxic but I want him. At this point, will I ever leave Alessio? Leo said Alessio has anger issues and sometimes they are extremely bad. He said the day he broke me, that was him being angry. Can I really handle a man like that? Who breaks you one minute and the next he is on your tail pleading for forgiveness, and the scariest part is how my body reacts to him. I open my eyes to look at the clock and it's my wake-up time. I started to exercise when I thought it could erase him from my mind, but look at me now. Waking up naked in his warm and strong arms. What did I really get myself into? With a sigh, I rush to my closet for my clothes. I will shower after the gym because I'm gonna sweat anyway. The man is still s

    Nicole. This is going to be awkward. A hot shirtless man with a body like that teaching me how to cook. How can I concentrate? How will I survive burning the damn food? "Nikki?" Leo walks into the kitchen followed by the two men. One of them sporting a wide smirk and the one behind them having a calm look. He holds himself so well. He is everything on my dream guy list minus the anger problems. That is one awful flaw that I wish I could erase with a snap of my finger. "Whatever he said is not true, I will start the food" I turn around the stove and stare at the metal with no idea of what to turn or switch on. What food do I even want to cook? Tara knows everything. She works like magic with this stuff and boom, food is ready. I never took my time to learn. Blame it on laziness, I would always go for snacks and I was fine. Until now. "You need help?" his voice murmurs behind me as he cages me between the cooking stove and himself. Why is he this close? "Mmh" I w

  • A DANGEROUS ATTRACTION.   Chapter 22

    Nicole I open the door and like today morning, Leo is leaning against the wall but this time he is with Luca. My brother has his fists clenched and his enraged gaze is directed at the man behind me. Don't tell me they heard everything. That will be so embarrassing, I just professed my love to Alessio in there. "Let's go" I mumble taking his hand before they start their rant and he quietly follows. It must be hard for him. One of his best friends is hurting his sister, but he can't react in a bad way because he will hurt her too. The car ride is silent. My eyes remain on the moving buildings while my brother grips the wheel with enough force that would break a neck. He is mad as hell and I hate to think that it's all because of me. "Fuck" Leo forcefully hits the steering wheel making me violently jerk from my seat. Thank God for the seatbelt around my waist. Does this idiot want to kill us? "I'm sorry you have to go through this" he hoarsely mumbles taking in deep breat

    Nicole. "Are you ready?" Leo asks assessing my outfit with uncertainty. He didn't expect me to wear the dress Alessio sent while going with someone else, right? "Yes, so much ready" I exclaim but his hard stare shows just how much he is not impressed. " It's a ball, Nicole, dress code matters a lot in these types of events" I look down at my black jean shorts, and a red crop top, and on top of it is a big camouflage jacket that also belongs to him. When I add my black army boots to the look, I appear so hot and badass. "Who cares, Leo?" I nonchalantly murmur, tucking my gun at the back of my shorts "I'm driving," I say, snatching the keys from his hands and dashing to the door before he can object to it, or say something else about my dressing. "Wait, Nicole. Alex is picking you up" My brother rushes after me and just to his luck, a blue sports car with extremely loud hip-hop music, roughly comes to a stumbling stop two steps away from me. Well, this will be the most roman

    Nicole. Shit, Alex. I hurriedly wash off the blood from my hand and walk out ignoring the sore gash. Unfortunately, as soon as I open the door, a strong force roughly pushes me and I hit my head on the wall behind me. Fuck. I grip the affected area, repeatedly blinking to gain back my sight because all I see are fucking stars. The impact I hit the wall with is so severe it makes my head hurt. "Bitch, you thought I wouldn't get you" Ernesto sneers turning me around to face him. He instantly slaps me hard and I slip on the hard marble ground groaning n pain. Bitch busted my lip. "Where are your puppets now, huh?" he crouches next to me and I quickly sit up, trying as much as I can to hold in the pain. At least he offered pain endurance lessons during our training. Ernesto grabs my chin so hard that I feel his nails digging in my flesh, and direct my head to him. He likes it when people keep eye contact when he is conversing with them. To show him that he can go to hel

    Alessio. "I need to tell you something boss" Luca whispers staring warily at Leo who is strangely beside me. He told me his sister would be here on a security detail but I haven't seen her. "Is something wrong?" I ask a little more dismissively as my eyes roam around the room. I need to find Nicole before Ernesto lays his eyes on her. We both know he will do something that won't favor her or me. "Yes, they have a target on you again" he whispers but I don't find shock in his words. Someone always has a hit on me and it's no longer news. I need to put these fuckers out before they could cause more harm. I haven't thought about the fact that I almost became a father and they knew it before I could. I can't afford to bring a life in this damned world, yet. Fuck! the thought has never even crossed my mind until that night. I can't see myself taking care of those little ones. Not now and definitely not in the future. "Who is it now?" I ask in a bored tone. Apart from Ernesto

    Nicole. I swear, I'm dying inside. This is why I had promised to start taking care of myself. Who is this girl and why is Alessio calling her bunny? She is so beautiful that she's making me feel self-conscious. Alessio never talks softly to anyone apart from me, he even said please. Like what the hell? I'm sure as fuck that he doesn't have a sister. "Baby, who is she?" I lowly mumble in curiosity. He is mine and I will fight for him even when I have zero strength. "Can we go already, I can't be here anymore second" the girl impatiently speaks shifting from one foot to another. Her green eyes glance around and back to us and she frowns at our lack of movement. She has a slight Russian accent and that explains her looks. Alessio is not Russian. Is he cheating on me? "Let's talk later " he places a haste kiss on my cheek and rushes to the midst of the fight. The girl gives me one bored glance and starts walking toward the back entrance. I'm left with no choice but to follow.

    Nicole.Fuck. That was a meal.Now I feel more tired and sleepy."Do you want more?" The man beside me asks and I turn to him in wonder. No one will guess he is the same person who was about to murder me minutes ago.Alessio is now a concerned and caring boyfriend. His eyes are so tender and loving.Damn. I got myself here and I shouldn't blame anyone."No, thank you" I mean that. It's almost dawn and I need some quality sleep because I don't know what tomorrow will bring."I will help you" Alessio quickly lifts me from the ground and I skeptically stare at him. Why the sudden change of mood?"What are you up to?" I furrow my brows as I try to get answers from his facial expression but there is none."I am only being the better boyfriend I ought to be" The man carries me back to his room and lies me on my side."You are too difficult to understand, Alessio. One minute you are cold the next minute you become so warm and it's so confusing. I don't get it" I sit up and decide to have a c

    Nicole. I stop in my tracks and wearily stare at the man before me. What is he doing here? He scares me. I still don't understand why he hates me so much. Leonardo silently watches me and finally chuckles. A sadistic laugh that causes goosebumps to form on my skin. "Your stupid daddy was so proud of you, Nicole. He built an empire for his little girl. Fuck, I was envious" Leonardo smirks and I clench my fists. How is he here when I injured him the last time we met? "Ernesto helped me end him. We took everything and killed that stupid idiot. Of course, the paranoid son of a bitch hid something for you on that island. Today we got it and burnt everything else to the ground. He must be turning in his grave to see his princess leeching on a man who doesn't want her" Ouch. "Does that make you feel better? You have everything you want. Why do you feel the need to come here just to hurt my feelings?" "Because you fucking killed my mother. The only person who cared for me. You killed he

    Nicole.I wake up to find myself alone in bed and sigh, burying my face in the pillows. At least I am not in heat anymore. I still can't believe Alessio chose Ernesto over me. What happened to not bringing work at home?I still wonder why I haven't come to terms that I will never be his priority. I shouldn't be that naive. I think the best thing to do now is get a job and learn to be independent. Maybe that way he will respect me a little.I don't want to be a charity case to him. Furthermore, what will happen if we break up? Fuck, maybe this experience was supposed to open my eyes."Are you feeling okay now?" I quickly turn to the door at Luca's voice. The drug's effect has been subsidized but I am extremely tired and sleepy. Thanks to that God sent doctor. I wonder how Alex is doing."Yes, thank you" I mumble and offer him a reluctant smile. At least someone cares around here."You have to forgive him, sometimes he is just unpredictable", Luca sighs and fills the glass on my bedside

    Nicole. "This is fucked up, Alex" I mutter moving as far away as I can from him. The drug hasn't taken effect yet but I know it's just a matter of time Alex sits on his bed and sadly lowers his head. The guy has wounds everywhere. His vest is bloody and it appears he hasn't taken a shower in days. I wonder where his mother is. She wouldn't have accepted this kind of treatment if she was here. "I don't like this Nicole. I won't touch you without your consent. Fuck, how do I even start touching you?" Alex says in exasperation and suddenly gets up. I cautiously watch him move to the window and punches the wall when he sees what is out there. Curiously following him, I am not surprised that Julio placed guards outside the window too. Only a miracle will save us today. I look around the room and I spot two cameras on the ceiling. Fucker is watching us. "Fuck. I will kill him. If I get out of here, I am killing that man" I don't doubt the venom in his voice one bit. Unlike t

    Nicole. "Just perfect. This is what we call, killing two birds with one stone. First, steal your boyfriend's shit for myself and then kill his dumb girlfriend" Ernesto laughs as he takes slow steps toward me. " I have never seen a stupid woman like you, Nicole. You thought a girl that warms my bed every night would choose you over my dick?" He laughs and I swear, all the color just drained from my face. Tara was fucking Ernesto? I can't believe I am that stupid. How could I not know? "Tara would do anything to please her 'daddy' and she would be greatly rewarded at the end of the day" He blankly stares at her dead body as if she meant nothing to him. She never was my friend. She was Ernesto's plaything from the beginning. " Her assignment was to befriend you and not to get her feelings attached. I am proud of her even though she is gone. I can always find another young pussy, but you?" Ernesto mockingly sizes me up and down before releasing a dark chuckle. "Not even Julio's fag

    Nicole. I jolt up with a splitting headache and a sweaty body. The room I am in feels like it's rotating and I tightly hold the bedding to steady myself. "Are you okay?" A voice asks above me and I squint my eyes to stare at the worried Alessio. How long was I out? The last thing I remember was shooting my brother. How come I am already in Alessio's bed? "Can I have water, please" I clear my throat as my vision finally becomes clear. Alessio quickly fills a glass of water and I stare at his mum pleadingly. I need those painkillers again. "Painkillers? " She asks with a gentle smile and I quickly nod but groan afterwards. Fuck my head. I will get better soon. I believe that. I can't believe this is the same woman who was rude to me at the first meeting. To make matters worse, she even brought another woman for Alessio in my very presence. Thank God I set my record straight. Alessio takes the pills from his mother and sits beside me. "Your memories again? " He gently a

    Nicole. My gaze remains on my brother who doesn't make a move toward us. Now that I look at him, Liam acted bitchy but he was sincere. He didn't pretend with me. And his last actions proved that at least he had an ounce of care for me. Liam had a chance to seize all the necklaces to appease his boss but he didn't. Instead, he gave me the original one without malice. I might share some resemblance to Leonardo but I can't help but despise him. If he is working for Ernesto, he knew all along where I was and he didn't give a damn. He only made a move because he saw me as a bargaining chip. Leo just wanted to use me for his selfish reasons. I won't let him though. I will fight him to death for my freedom. Averting my gaze from my shameless brother, I peer at the boy in front of me. Another selfish bastard who thinks I am disposable, and he can use me as a breeder. "What do you want, Alex?" I stare at him without a sense of interest. His eyes linger from Alessio to me and trail t

    Nicole. "Nicole, Can I talk to you?" I instantly stop at her voice, and turn around in shock. What the hell is she doing here? "I thought I told you to stay away from her, didn't I?" Alessio approaches her but I quickly stop him. The look in Tara's eyes indicates that she is desperate. She always has that look when she is scared or worried about something. "Hold on, babe" I grip Alessio's hand and he turns to me with raised brows. "Talk," I say without letting his hand go. Tara takes a step forward but Alessio stretches his hand forward to stop her. "Remain where you are, and make this quick. I feel nauseated just staring at you" Alessio snaps, and she instantly stops with a silent nod. That was a bit harsh and it appears to hurt her feelings. I don't know why I can't hate her just yet. "I wanted to tell you to be careful around your brother. He has been talking to Ernesto for some time now" She cautiously looks around us as if she's scared of being caught. No one lik

    Nicole. "What is it?" I eagerly whisper, waiting for him to tell me something that may be useful. "When I met your brother. It wasn't a coincidence like I have been believing. Leonardo approached us with a deal. He wanted protection from me and in return, he worked for me. He was good with his gun and we didn't question him or perform a background check-up. Now, I am beginning to think he was sent by Ernesto" "The star tattoo that matches yours, he didn't have it. Do you know for how long you have had this" He holds my wrist and places a gentle kiss on the mark. My brows furrow in confusion as I stare at the supposed sibling tattoo. Where is he going with this? "As long as I can remember, I don't know how I got it" I frown at the mark and glance back at the man holding me. "I think we need to be cautious until you remember if he is even your real brother" Fuck me. First, it was Liam, and now, Leo? It can't be. "The resemblance Alessio, we share the same eye color"
