Chapter 128 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ I wasn't sure I had the heart to sit through this suicide mission, but since I had no choice in the matter, I secured myself into the passenger seat with the safety belt securely in place. My hands dug into each side of the seat as I mumbled some words of prayer, which were basically just a desperate plea for forgiveness from God, should I not make it out of this alive. Russel glanced at me to make sure I was safely in the seat before exhaling a sharp breath. Without warning, he slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like a bullet, my breath hitched in my throat as adrenaline coursed through my veins. “Oh God, please–” I whispered, “Don't let me die like this,” From the corners of my eyes, I saw him shake his head before adding to the speed. The crowd swarmed around the tracks, their echoes of encouragement adding to the hammer in my chest. I had never been in a race before, I had never even been in a car as fast as this!
Chapter 129 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ Russel led me back into the car, and I sat quietly, unsure of what to say or how to react. He had pretty much just informed me that everything that happened from the minute he drove into that race scene was a deliberate attempt to scare me, to make me mad. He had deliberately stalled, letting me think Aldo would win, accepting that bet so I’d feel horrified throughout the race. He deliberately didn’t introduce me before the race; they all knew except me. But he won the race, and he kissed me in front of them. Was I supposed to be happy or sad? “You okay?” he asked, his eyes scheming over me for the longest moment. “I’m still trying to decide if I should be mad at you or just be glad you won.” He reclined in his seat, a smirk lighting up his face. “You deliberately ignored me for a whole week, wearing those sexy clothes to tease me, yet you wouldn’t let me come an inch close to you. Then I got a lead on the case you asked me to prove, excitedly came t
Chapter 130 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ His touch became more demanding, more punishing, more needy– it felt as though I had awoken a different beast inside him. Picking me up with a firm grip around my waist, he dumped me on the car like I was a rag doll. With both hands, he held my right leg up like it was a prized jewel, his eyes hot on my face as his tongue trailed kisses from my toes back to my inner thighs. “You think he would worship you like this?” He sneered, his breath fanning my bare body hotly, “Do you think he can make your legs go weak like this? Do you see how much they're shaking, Allesia?” I swallowed hard as one hand went around my neck, slightly disrupting my airflow, “That is something only I can do to you.” “Nolan—Nolan didn't try to touch me again after that day,” I managed to say. “But you preferred his company to mine,” he retorted, “You stayed with him all those weeks, he brought you flowers everyday and you hugged him at the door.” I didn't even have to ask ho
Chapter 131 RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ “Marry me, Allesia,” I murmured, resting my forehead on hers. “Please.” She froze in my arms, her eyes fluttering open, scanning my face like she was trying to be sure I had actually said something. I kept my expression serious, giving her time as her mind struggled to process my words. “Russel,” she whispered, her voice barely audible, “Are you serious?” “Never been more serious in my life,” I replied, my eyes intensely searching hers for an answer. “I want you, Allesia, not just because I’ve not been able to resist you from the first day I saw you, but because I’ve loved you ever since that day, hence my inability to let you go.” I cradled her closer, and a soft gasp escaped her half-parted lips. “Protecting you is something I want to spend the rest of my days doing, and making you mine forever is the only way to validate my claim on you—I want you forever, Allesia.” Her heart raced against my skin, and I could see the whirlwind of emotions in her e
Chapter 132RUSSEL ~~~°~~~After we finished, I took my time to bathe Allesia, ensuring she received the princess treatment she deserved. I was meticulous, making sure to avoid anything strenuous in the shower this time.Once I was certain she was clean and relaxed, I took my own shower, allowing her to unwind in the bathtub until I was done. I put on simple sweatpants and came back to her.“Let’s get you to bed,” I said, lifting her once again in my arms and carrying her to the bedroom.I carried her bridal style to the bed, drying her gently with a fluffy towel before tucking her under the sheets. I massaged her skin with scented oil to help her nerves relax, enjoying the way her muscles softened under my touch.After she was relaxed, I brought one of my shirts, and she slid it on. Slowly, I worked all the buttons, lingering just slightly to let my fingers graze the soft mounds of her breasts, enjoying the feel and the way her eyes closed dreamily as she leaned against a pillow.“I
Chapter 133 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ “I’m afraid you’re taking too much for granted right now, Russel,” Kegan stated, tight-lipped. “You know I’m the last person who would ever lie to you.” It was rare to see Kegan this composed, this stern, and that demeanor was seriously grating on my nerves. “Is this about me not taking your calls? I know how much you hate that, Dad, I’m really sorry, but I don’t need the lesson right now, please.” “We have a situation on our hands, and you’ve had over a whole month to act on it, yet your only focus has been on something else entirely—that detective.” I rolled my eyes, “Allesia was mad at me.” Kegan released a frustrated sigh. “Cut me some fucking slack!” he hissed. “Have you forgotten what Ignacio told you? People are watching. I don’t know how you’ve suddenly started feeling like Ken in a fucking Barbie world, but this is real life, your real world. Every second counts because a lot could go wrong in a split second.” “Exactly what is this about?”
Chapter 134 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ I woke up to find Russel beside me, still working. His focus was so intense that he didn’t even notice I was awake. Not wanting to disturb him, I watched decide to enjoy the show. His eyes were so dull and that made my heart ache for him, he works too much! He was still bare chested, so I enjoyed the beautiful view of his angelic masculinity. That was until I unconsciously shifted on the bed, attracting his eyes. They lit up as soon as he saw me, and he quickly closed the laptop, lifting it off his lap and placing it on the bedside table. He leaned in and kissed me softly, a half smile playing on his cheek. “Morning, angel,” The simple act of his lips brushing against mine sent a jolt of electricity zapping between us. It was like I was being tickled by my crush for the first time, memories of what we did in that dark parking lot just last night flooded back and a deep blush greased my cheeks. “Good morning,” I responded, returning his ki
Chapter 135 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ Yesterday, I had a comfortable place to work in. Not everyone knew I had any connection with the intimidating mafia boss, Russel, who so happened to be their boss’s boss until he pulled up in the studio to threaten them and also issue a strong warning to the boss’s before dragging me out. Today's shoot was grueling. Everyone was on edge, treating me with a mix of cautious respect and awkward politeness. Russel's dramatic appearance yesterday had clearly rattled them, and Mario, the director, was no exception. Normally, any model whose partner caused such a disruption would have been swiftly dismissed, but for some reason which I suspected to be Russel making sure that wasn’t an option for me, I wasn’t fired, warned or anything. I could even sense the tension in Mario's demeanor when he came in that morning, a clear sign that Russel had most likely had a stern word with him sometime yesterday, and you could guess who did most of the talking there.

EPILOGUE RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ I stood perfectly still, my thoughts reeling as I waited in the quiet hall of the warehouse. During my absence, Stacy had refused to speak, see, or let anyone touch her. Even Kegan, who was supposed to order a pregnancy test done for her by now, couldn’t do that because she wouldn’t agree. And he couldn't tell me either because, well, I'd asked him not to mention anything about Stacy to me until I returned from my honeymoon. So whether or not she was pregnant was still a mystery. But it wasn't going to be for long. I had Dr. Ramola brought to the warehouse; she was personally going to run the test on Stacy. So far, Dr. Ramola was getting all the samples she needed for the test. “What’s up?” I asked as soon as she emerged from Stacy's cell. The doctor scanned all of us for a long moment. “I’ve gotten everything I’ll need,” she breathed. “I should be back with the results this evening.” “And the strips?” Kegan asked, coming up behind me. The doctor
Chapter 165 ALLESIA ~~~°°~~~ Three wonderful weeks on this island, as much as we enjoyed the bliss, we couldn't stay forever. Tomorrow morning, we'll have to return to our life in Sicily. Kegan handled things in Russel’s absence up until the second week, allowing us undivided time to enjoy our honeymoon. But by the third week, Russel had to start working from here, still, certain things just can’t be done through a laptop. I’d emailed a few photographers and agencies, even talked to Mario about doing a shoot. Russel insisted I shouldn't have to work, but while the honeymoon glow of a newlywed lasted, I wasn't sure I’d be able to just sit around all day doing nothing. At least now that I was fully a Mancini and ten weeks pregnant, with any luck, my husband's jealousy and over possessiveness might thin down just a bit. Renzo suggested I try to get into school, but honestly, what did I need a degree for? Fuck it, I’d never really had the brains and patience for education. Russel e
Chapter 164 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ I sat outside by the water, sipping lemonade from a glass. The warm sun cast a golden glow on everything, including my husband. He was swimming, his strong, graceful strokes making him look like he belonged in the ocean. “Enjoying the show?” Russel called out, a wide grin adding to his angelic face. “I was just wondering if you’re not a fish!” I called back. He smirked, “Let’s just say I’m good at everything I do.” I shook my head playfully as the tide swept him away once more. The cool beach air was a welcome relief from the heat. I adjusted my sunglasses and pushed the wide-brimmed hat back a bit so I could get a clearer view. I felt relaxed and at peace, soaking in the beautiful sight of my husband. Since that first night, he had been incredibly considerate, never pushing for more than I was ready to give. We’d spent the past three days of our honeymoon on this island doing all sorts of fun things— playing games, talking, holding hands
Chapter 163ALLESIA~~~0~~~We traveled straight from the ceremony in our wedding clothes in my husband’s private jet. Now, almost afternoon, a day after the wedding, we finally landed at our honeymoon destination, which magically had a built-in tarmac. It was a luxurious beach house nestled on the pristine shores of Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The journey had been long and exhausting, with only Luca and five other men accompanying us for security. Russel chose the place because he wanted to feel a sense of peace and serenity, he had been here himself once two years ago, which was when he secured the property.“An island paradise,” I was still inside the jet when I stared out at the beauty around me. “It looks almost magical!” I turned to Russel, “And it’s too perfect.”Russel led me down from the small stairs of the jet, a satisfied smile on his face. “Unlike other girls, you’ve never talked about wanting to visit a place where the sky meets the sea, so I thought, why not?”I chuc
Chapter 162 RUSSEL ~~~O~~~ I stood at the altar, my heart pounding as I watched Allesia make her way towards me. She was a vision in white, her gown simple yet elegant, flowing gracefully behind her with each step she took. Her pretty face was veiled, but she held a bouquet of flowers which she pressed close to her stomach like it was a shield against eyes following her every step. Her brother walked by her left, while Nikolai walked by the right, holding her right hand protectively. She had insisted that Nikolai be there to walk her down the aisle. I didn't try to stop him. The way she leaned towards him as they walked showed just how safe she felt around him. I felt guilty now that I understood their relationship better, he saw something in Allesia, a sister like Selina and I couldn’t take that away from him too. Even though their relationship didn't work out in a romantic way, he still loved her and she loved him right back– like a sibling, and that was simply beau
Chapter 161 ALLESIA ~~~°°~~~ Jesus, please! The very imagination of those men, taking turns on me made me want to carve my eyes out with my fingernails. And I will, I would rather die than live with this. “You can’t do this!” I declared. “Oh, I can, and I will.“ She gestured towards the men and they started advancing towards me, some rubbing their palms together with disgusting smirks and others simply licking their lips, a silent promise of the hell awaiting me. “I'm going to die,” I muttered silently, “Russel, please, save me. Please!” Again, I tried to pull away, but my back was pressed against the wall, so hard that I could feel the pain from the hard concrete as it grated against my skin. “Please, Elletra!” I sobbed helplessly, “Don’t do this!” She didn't answer, merely kept grinning. “I'm going to die if you let them do this to me, please!” The only emotion on her face was satisfaction. “No one’s coming to save you now, darling. Not even your crazy boyfriend.” "How ca
Chapter 160 ALLESIA ~~~ °° ~~~ I felt so weak and sluggish, like something had been ripped right out of me, a part of me I could never replace. The weight of the previous night hung heavy on my shoulders like a looming cloud as I moved about the room, fitting my stuff into a single suitcase. When Manuel came to assist me with the box, I felt an overwhelming sense of finality as he wheeled it out of the house. Each step I took felt heavier than the last, as if my emotions were physically anchoring me to the ground. This particular house had never felt like home, and yet leaving it bring so much pain. “Are you alright?” Manuel’s voice broke me out of my thoughts, I had paused for the third time in the short trip to the car without even realizing it. I breathed a sigh and nodded slowly. “Nikolai didn’t come?” “Yeah, he said to tell you he doesn’t know if he would be able to see you off without coming with you.” I chuckled in response, but it was a hollow sound, devoid of any re
