BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 36.Black card
--Cassie--“I had so much fun! Your house is practically like a mansion!” Michelle exclaimed, twirling dramatically around my room as if she were on a grand stage.“It is a mansion, Michelle,” Hailey shot back, equally loud, as she threw herself onto my bed with a playful shriek.I had just changed out of my swimsuit, the cool fabric replaced by something dry and comfortable, but I still felt sticky from the chlorine. A long, warm shower was calling my name, but I waited patiently for the girls to finish their turn first.“We’re going horse riding tomorrow, right?” Michelle asked again, her voice carrying from the bathroom. For what felt like the hundredth time that day, she posed the same question. It was both irritating and amusing, though I couldn’t let her know she was getting to me. My silence was deliberate, a ploy to make her stew in suspense for just a little longer.“Hey! We are going tomorrow, right?” she called out louder this time, stepping halfway out of the bathroom. Her

--Cassie--“I need to see Alessandro, please,” I said, keeping my voice steady despite the nervous energy bubbling beneath my skin.He nodded and stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter. I walked in, the soft thud of the door closing behind me signaling that I was now fully committed to this confrontation. The room was a symphony of wealth and refinement. The air was infused with the earthy scent of wood and pine, grounding yet intoxicating. It felt like stepping into another world, one far removed from my own.My gaze wandered, unwillingly captivated by the space. The bed was enormous, draped in dark, luxurious linens, and edged with what looked like real gold. The wardrobes were equally opulent, their intricate designs glinting in the dim light. The sheer extravagance of it all made my head spin. How rich was this man? I thought, momentarily distracted. But I shook the thought away. I wasn’t here to admire his wealth—I was here to get answers and to put this chapter behind me.“Wha

--Cassie--The knock on the door sounded again. “Cassie, are you alright?” Michelle’s voice was soft, but there was an edge of concern.“I’m fine,” I replied, my voice hoarse. “Just give me a minute.”"Call Alessandro," I heard Michelle say, her voice tinged with urgency. It was that moment that stirred me awake, pulling me out of my groggy haze. I blinked, trying to adjust to the dim light in the room. Groaning softly, I sat up, my body heavy with exhaustion.Deciding to see what the commotion was about, I opened the door to my bedroom. They practically burst in, their worried expressions quickly replaced by confusion. Their frantic energy seemed misplaced, and I couldn’t help but sigh at their dramatics."What were you even thinking?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at the group as I stepped back to give them room. Ignoring their flustered explanations, I moved toward the closet. Naturally, they followed, as if I were a ticking time bomb they couldn’t leave unsupervised."You think I’m

--Cassie--Her words caught my attention. The horse was indeed commanding, his posture exuding dominance, much like Alessandro himself—his presence was unmistakable. And it made me think back to the boy at the orphanage, the one who had seemed to have that same intense, almost dangerous energy."Don’t go near him, Michelle, or he’ll kick you so hard that you’ll land in the hospital," Stephanie warned sharply. Michelle hesitated for a moment, then backed away quickly, clearly respecting the warning."Sorry for getting here late," a voice suddenly interrupted our moment of silence. I looked up to see the man who had been tending to the horses earlier. He was leading one of the horses away from the field, and though his tone was apologetic."Why do they bow?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. I had noticed this ritual every time someone addressed me, but this was the first time I was asking about it. Stephanie’s response was careful as if she wasn’t sure how to answer."It’

--Cassie--We rode over to where the girls were, and their laughter filled the air. They were busy taking pictures with their helper, who seemed to be capturing every moment of their excitement. "Valerie and Vanessa are going to be so jealous," one of the girls said, and I couldn't help but chuckle.I knew exactly who they were talking about. Valerie and Vanessa were the two girls who always seemed to crave the spotlight, and they were infamous for their antics. To put it bluntly, they were the school’s biggest troublemakers, but I’ll spare you the harsh language—though, in all honesty, that’s the truth. They always had to be the center of attention, traveling the world, posting pictures in exotic places, and dating the basketball team captains just to keep up their image."Who are those girls?" Stephanie asked, clearly curious about the conversation.I raised an eyebrow, ready to indulge her curiosity. "I’ll gladly tell you who they are," I said with a smirk. I noticed the other peop

--Cassie--We had finally made it to the karaoke room, a private space tucked away in the building. The door clicked shut behind us, and Michelle smugly slipped the keys into her pocket, flashing a mischievous grin.“Leave the key at the door, please,” I said, trying to sound reasonable.She laughed in response, brushing off my request. Instead of complying, she sauntered over to the stage, clearly relishing her role as the instigator of chaos tonight.The room itself was cozy but spacious enough for our group. Soft, ambient lighting gave the space a warm, inviting glow, while colorful LED strips around the stage and ceiling hinted at the fun to come. A sleek karaoke machine stood front and center, with a pair of microphones resting neatly on its stand. Plush booths lined the walls, offering plenty of seating, and a fridge stocked with drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—waited temptingly in the corner.I slid into one of the booths, watching as the girls gathered around the machi

--Cassie--Yes! He’s so talented, Cassie. You missed the best part of the night,” Hailey said, her excitement bubbling over.“Wonderful,” I muttered, sarcastic. “Now go take a shower before you make me regret letting you back in here.”As the water in the bathroom began to run, I laid back on the bed, my eyelids heavy. The room grew quiet again, save for the muffled sound of the girls chatting and laughing in the bathroom. Maybe, just maybe, I could steal a few more minutes of sleep before their next round of chaos.The night had been long, and I could only hope the morning would be more forgiving.“Who is that?” I asked her, genuinely puzzled by their excitement.Hailey gasped, looking at me like I’d just confessed to not knowing who Beyoncé was. “You don’t know him?” she repeated, her tone dripping with disbelief.“No, should I?” I asked, now more curious than ever about the mystery man who had them all buzzing.“Cassie,” she said, shaking her head dramatically. “He’s Alessandro’s b

--Cassie--But as the helicopter soared higher, I realized my assumption might have been wrong. Scattered between the vast greenery were houses—no, mansions. These weren’t your typical country homes with white picket fences and rustic charm. They were architectural marvels, each more opulent than the last. Expansive estates with manicured gardens, infinity pools, and ornate fountains gleamed like jewels amidst the sea of trees.“Definitely not the countryside,” I whispered under my breath. The isolation of the area, surrounded by acres and acres of forest, gave it a secluded feel, but the sheer luxury of the homes rivaled that of the finest neighborhoods in New York.Despite the awe-inspiring scenery, my mind wandered. I wasn’t particularly interested in this shopping trip. The idea of buying trinkets or clothes felt trivial compared to the weight of everything else in my life. Still, I had one small goal: to find a souvenir for Aunt Sophia. She had been dropping hints for weeks about

--Cassie--"Congratulations, Lalia," I said as we settled into the car, a warm smile spreading across my face."Thank you, Cassie," she replied, a mixture of excitement and nerves in her voice as she started the engine."Are you going to tell him now?" I asked, watching her carefully. I knew how much this moment meant to her, but also how much she worried about Lorenzo’s reaction."No, I’ll text him in the evening and tell him we need to meet," she said, her fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel. "He’s busy with Pack matters right now, and I don’t want to distract him.""Okay," I said, nodding in understanding. Timing was everything with Lorenzo—he took his responsibilities seriously, and Lalia always made sure not to disturb him unless it was important."Let’s go to the mall then," she suggested, her voice lighter now, and I could see a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.The mall was only a five-minute drive from the hospital, and before we knew it, we were pull

--Cassie--I was getting ready, nerves buzzing as we prepared to leave for the hospital. Lalia was eager to find out how far along she was, and I couldn’t wait to support her through this. The early morning light streamed through the windows, casting soft shadows across the room.I walked to the sink, brushing my teeth, trying to shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at me. Alessandro was hunched over his laptop, furiously typing away, oblivious to everything else. Lalia had taken the wheel today—her way of asserting some control, perhaps. I knew Alessandro had reached out to Mr. Gulio to inquire about my whereabouts, but I couldn’t let him know we were heading to the hospital. Not yet, anyway.“You’re going baby shopping this early?” Alessandro’s voice sliced through the quiet.“Yes, I’m going with Lalia,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips as I turned to walk toward the closet. I could feel his eyes on me, but I refused to let his questioning get to me.Inside the closet, I quickly slipp
BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 88.Christmas Get together
--Cassie--It had been a whole three months since I found out I was pregnant, and I was already five months along. My baby bump was quite large for someone at this stage, but it made sense—I was having twins, after all. Reuniting with Hasiley and Michelle had brought a sense of completeness to my life, and everything was going so well. Today was especially exciting because it marked our annual Christmas get-together, and I couldn't wait to have everyone gathered around the table. Life felt good, and I had no regrets about marrying Alessandro. He had been my rock through it all.Tomorrow, I had plans to go baby shopping to pick up a few essentials before my due date crept up on me."So, let's go to the hospital tomorrow," I said to Lalia, now I can say best friend, as we relaxed in my bedroom."Okay, that sounds like a plan," she replied with a warm smile, tucking herself under the sheets.I noticed the hesitant look in her eyes before she added, "Please don't tell Lorenzo until I conf

--Cassie--Looking at the screen, I was so happy, but the feeling was short-lived."Oh, I forgot! I have to get this to the lab. I’ll be right back," the doctor said, making me nod. I had thought she was going to put on the device so that we could see the babies."She’ll be back soon, you know that, right?" Alessandro said to me, his voice laced with amusement. I glared at him in response."Take that book from the table for me," I said, pointing to a book titled ‘All That Parents Need to Know’.Opening the first page, Alessandro looked carefully at it, just as intrigued as I was. I could see the curiosity in his eyes as he flipped through the pages.‘Everything You Have to Know About the Development of the Baby from the First Month to the Ninth Month of Pregnancy’.I stared at Alessandro, and he was already ahead of me in reading. I knew he was going to be a good dad, and I couldn’t wait to spend all my years with him.‘A Fictional Take on the Development of the Baby from the First to

--Cassie--We left them alone, and the realization hit Daniella like a thunderbolt—her cover was blown. She had no choice but to leave the house as soon as possible. There was no way Alessandro would tolerate her presence any longer."Ready?" Alessandro asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes, I am. Ready to see the doctor," I replied with a smile.Relief washed over me like a gentle wave. The turmoil of the past few days had finally settled, and everything seemed to be falling into place. The weight I’d been carrying on my shoulders had lifted, leaving me lighter and happier than I’d felt in weeks."Where is the Pack hospital?" I asked, my voice brimming with curiosity."It’s just outside the Pack," Alessandro replied, glancing at me with a small smile. "You haven’t had a full tour of the area yet, but don’t worry. I’ll make that happen soon."I nodded eagerly, already imagining the new places I’d get to see."Oh, and after the appointment, we’ll stop by a bookstore. I need to pi

--Cassie--"Someone is here to speak with you, Alpha," one of the helpers announced as they stepped into the room.Alessandro barely looked up, his irritation evident from the tension in his jaw. The events with Daniella had left everyone on edge, and interruptions weren’t helping.“Who is it? Is it a pack member? They can wait in the waiting room,” he replied sharply, his voice carrying the weight of his annoyance.“No, Alpha, it’s not a pack member. It’s someone claiming he’s here to talk to his mate,” the helper said, their words hanging heavily in the air.The room fell into a tense silence, and all eyes turned to Daniella. She froze, her expression shifting from feigned innocence to barely concealed panic. It was clear she knew exactly who had come for her.Without hesitation, Alessandro rose from his seat, his entire demeanor shifting. His earlier irritation melted away, replaced by a palpable eagerness. The rest of us followed suit, trailing after him as he strode purposefully

--Cassie--“What are you going to do about Daniella?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. The thought of her lingered in my mind like an unwelcome guest. Whether the child she carried was Alessandro’s or not, she had to respect me. Something had to give—she couldn’t just stay and disrupt our lives without consequences.“I’ll speak to her tomorrow, I promise,” Alessandro said, his voice steady, though I caught a flicker of unease in his eyes. “But you need to see the Pack doctor too.”“Who’s been handling everything in my absence?” he asked, his tone suddenly serious, the Alpha side of him emerging like a storm rolling over calm waters.“Me,” I replied simply, crossing my arms.A small, incredulous smile played on his lips, as though he thought I was joking. “You?”“Yes, me,” I said firmly, my voice unwavering. “And you’ll find out tomorrow just how well I’ve handled things.”He chuckled softly and stepped closer to me. “I missed this fire in you,” he said. “I just want to hold

---Cassie--“Don’t lie to me, Alessandro,” I said, my voice trembling with a mix of desperation and anger. “At this point in my life, I need to be told the truth. I can’t take any more lies. So, I’m going to ask you for the last time—” I leaned forward, staring him directly in the eyes. “Is my dad a werewolf?”He hesitated, his jaw tightening as though he was bracing himself for the blow his answer would deliver. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he muttered a single word that changed everything. “Yes.”My heart stopped. For a moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent, and the ground beneath me had disappeared. Alessandro kept speaking, his voice low and steady, but I couldn’t hear a single word. Everything around me blurred, and the pounding in my ears drowned out his explanations. The betrayal I felt hit me like a tidal wave. It wasn’t just a sting or a pinch—it was a deep, soul-crushing wound. Hot tears spilled down my cheeks, and no matter how hard I tried, I c

---Cassie--Waking up in the middle of the night, I noticed Alessandro seated at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on me. His expression was calm but intense, and as the haze of sleep lifted, I could see a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Memories of everything that had happened came flooding back to me. Realizing he had regained his memory, I instantly sat up, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and anticipation.“I missed you, you know,” I said softly, leaning forward to hug him. My arms wrapped tightly around him, and I felt the familiar warmth of his presence.“I missed you more,” Alessandro replied, his voice low and thick with emotion. He didn’t move to return the hug immediately; instead, his eyes seemed distant, lost in deep thought.“I’m glad you’re awake,” he said after a long pause, his lips curving into a faint smile. “I didn’t want to disturb you.”His words made me smile, and I adjusted the pillow behind me to better support my back. The air in the room felt heav
