Maria.I was checking through the aisle for wine which Alesso likes. I am making dinner with Lily. She said to keep it simple for my first attempt and not something too complicated."Have you taken everything?" Lily asked."Yes, we only have to pay and then we can go back home."We walked towards the cashier who was some old woman in her late 70s, taking a hell of a time to calculate the amount. Aren't they supposed to be retired at this age? I tapped my foot loud purposely in annoyance because she is taking too long.Give me the calculator, Il do it for you. I looked behind me to see Alesso's men standing in guard. Finally paying her we went to our car with our groceries when I bumped into another person."Oh, I am sor-""Maria?"I turned to the familiar voice."Ivan?" Ina matter off seconds, he was pinned on the ground by the guards."Stop, let him go! He is my friend." I pushed one of the men who held his collar and another pointed a gun at him, but it was like pushing a stone wall
No perspective.Maria strides towards her room, as what she didn't want Alesso to know yet was found out. It hurt her more that it was not the way she wanted him to find out because now, it looked like she was hiding it from him. It pained her that she didn't tell him herself.On the dining table, Alesso left to go to Maria whereas Matteo and Ivan were sitting in uncomfortable silence. Matteo glared at Ivan in anger and he looked at him by breaking the silence."Well, that happened." He said and took a sip from his wine."What the actual fuck were you thinking?!" Matteo spoke through gritted teeth trying not to punch Maria's so-called friend in the face."Well, how was I supposed to know that she didn't tell him?" He reasoned with him."As a friend, you should have known what she would disclose to people whom she has met only months before!"Matteo always wanted a baby sister and now that he saw that in Maria, the brotherly role followed it unknowingly. He had a soft spot for her and
Torture.AlessoEntering the warehouse basement I look at the two most pathetic figures hanging on the wall in front of me. Rolling up my sleeves of the suit, I take long strides to stand in front of them where Matteo was throwing darts aiming at their heads. They looked half beaten making me look to my right."Matteo I only allowed you the starters, why did you have the main course as well?" I looked at him and snarled."Well they were pissing me off, what was I supposed to do? So, I just relished it some more." He said as he smirked and kept his gaze on the men who were on the wall, tied."So, who shall we start with? The bastard pig of a father or the gum on my shoe?" I looked between them.Michael just screamed to let him go, pathetic. "Ok, I'll take that as you are volunteering."I take the nearby blade and throw it towards him like a dart that pierced in his shoulder and he lets out another scream. Walking towards him, I smirk deviously. He looked like a frightened lamb going to
Maria.Water pattered down on my face as I kept looking at the glass wall in front of me. Crouched on the floor, I hugged my knees to my chest tightly feeling the ache in my chest subdue. All my life, everything was planned, months prior. I was never allowed to do what I want, what I liked, had a passion for, Always had to be perfect in front of others, always be polite, never question things if they are wrong because you are a girl, so always smile and be a good girl, don't ask for too much from others and be satisfied with what you have.I blamed myself right now. The pain and emptiness made me feel heavier on my shoulders. I always avoided things because that was what our society instructed us to do. You see something wrong, keep your mouth shut, avoid and forget. You just put a smile on your face and avoid. Next, forget, forget about the hurt, forget the pain, forget the betrayal and then live your normal life like it never happened. But the thing no one told was that you never fo
Maria"Shh... now, where is the contract."I was surprised when I heard the female voice but I swear the muscles I felt and saw in the bare minimum light, was of a body of a man.My heart dropped to my feet and panic took over every nerve of my body. All I wanted to do was fight her or him but all my body could do was scream. With the large kitchen knife pressed against my throat, any movement and can easily slit my throat."Things will go easy if you just tell where is the contract?" She said making my breath hitch. Does Alesso know about me taking the contract and that's why he sent someone to pry out information from me?"Please, I-I don't know what-"Replacing the knife with her harsh hand which I swear is very large to be a woman's, was replaced with a tight grasp cutting my air supply. My cuffed hands immediately shoot up to my throat to release the grip but it didn't help. Instead, she dragged the knife harshly along my arm making it bleed as I let out a shrilling scream."Let
MariaExhaustion draws upon me making me blink slowly almost closing my eyes. I don't want to die, not yet. I will never be able to tell Alesso I love him. I won't be there with him to hear about his panic attacks or to comfort him. He will be alone again."Help." It was barely a whisper as if just my lips were moving. My eyes go shut due to tiredness in me. I saw a tall frame sprint by me, too quick for me to see. I felt them kneeled beside me. Opening my eyelids midway but not enough to see the face but I heard nothing except loud ringing in my ears. I felt the floor thumping as movements happened."Help." Too tired and weak I closed my eyes not knowing who it was. And unconscious took over me.AlessoI enter through the nmansion gates disappointed with the rest of my men. Someone had hacked into our security cams, but they were not smart enough as they couldn't access the footage. I already had my bets on who had hacked into our system and Matteo was pissed by it as he takes car
Tears slide down my face as I look at her for any reaction while the doctors wired her up.No-no!My stomach tugged in and panic filled me not wanting to lose the only person I love. My breathing picked up. I kneeled by her quickly and kissed her lips, it was soft but heavy at the same time, wanting her to wake up."See I kissed you as you wanted, now wake up!" I say frantically, I just want her to show me some movement, to let me know she is fighting this and not giving up."Mr Romano, we need to treat her." One of the doctors said and I grabbed him by the collar."Listen and listen clearly, if she doesn't wake up, you will be the one laying on the bed. Dol make myself clear?" I said threateningly making him nod fast."Come on brother let them do their job. She will be ok, let's wait outside. Now let go of the collar." I hear Matteo behind me making me let go of the doctor and look at Maria who was being treated by the second doctor.She looked so numb.Then it hit me.I looked at Ma
Alesso.It's been almost four weeks since Maria was attacked and she still hasn't worked up making my worry only get worse. I didn't leave her side all four weeks, wanting to be there by her side when she wakes up. Matteo at least made me get up for eating.The first two weeks I was with her all the time but as time passed I started engaging in training attempting to not think of the worst. I had her move to our room and not in the infirmary to feel close to her but it felt empty even though she was there. I was getting more panic attacks nowadays, they were frequent but of short duration.My search for the contract and Aron didn't stop. He was not spotted anywhere till now, last seen was in a bar and then at the airport, he was no longer in Italy. But we did find out that he works for the Russian mafia. We did bomb four of their warehouses and stole two shipments to get a hold of Dmitry. I let out all off my aggression on Ivan, Maria's so-called friend who was in the warehouse baseme
