As their worlds collide over cupcakes and gunshots, they find themselves drawn into a dangerous dance of secrets and desire. But when Alessandro chooses love over family legacy, the delicate balance of power in the criminal underworld begins to crumble.

The Stranger

CHAPTER 1 “You know we shouldn't be here.” Camilla spoke as she scanned the party scene from the loft.The party lights pulsing, the music thundering through the speakers, had everybody dancing and grinding against each other. Each face clad with a mask, the waiters were not an exception as they weaved through the tight crowd, trays held high.“Party pooper,” Ruby snorted, swirling the contents of her glass. “Don't act as though you work harder than everyone here. Not as though you have somewhere important to go to tomorrow.” She took a sip, then added with a hint of venom, “Just that miserable bakery of yours that has never made us a dime since we started it.”“I'm not a party pooper.” Camilla shot back, bristling from the jab. Some things are just more important than others.”“You are a killjoy.” Rub retorted, looking away from Camilla, her eyes scanning the crowd, “Not to think that we might meet a rich guy that could change our lives forever, and we wouldn't have to work aimlessl...

Don't Lie To Me
“The Donatello's must be the ones behind my attack. I rejected their deal, and now they want me dead.” Alessandro mused, taking a sip of his steaming black coffee.While Salvatore, his uncle, took another calming puff of his Cuban cigar.“You just took over the family, Sandro. You need a show of strength.” Alessandro laid his steaming coffee on the side table and reached for the inner pocket of his blazer. “Yeah, that, but I need to handle something first.” He pulled out the student ID card from his pocket, motioning it to his bodyguard, “Track this lady down.” He ordered, and burly Jax nodded, taking the card from him.“Okay, boss,” he responded and walked out of the room.***At the other end of the city was Camilla, standing behind the counter with Ruby sitting idly on the chair in the bakery.“I can't believe you lost my college ID,” Ruby whined, and for the first time all morning, she looked away from her phone. “Why are you so careless?”“Careless?” Camilla scoffed while pressin

Don Morano
To hell with Camilla and her shitty desserts! I'm rich! Ruby screamed in her head, not wanting to draw attention to herself.Who is this guy to just sign away a hundred thousand dollars for appreciation? She fumbled with his business card and typed his name on the search engine, “Whoa, that was Alessandro Morano?" She palmed her mouth. “The head of the Morano mafia family? Shit! He's got serious money. Sounds like my perfect man.“Shopping time!” She squealed and took an exotic ride to a designer shop.When she got there, she didn't waste any time, and she called Alessandro, and after four rings, he picked up the phone.“It is Ruby, the lady from earlier today.”“Oh, Ruby,” he replied, “by the way, that cupcake of yours is amazing," he complimented, and Jax, who was still by his side munching on the cupcake, agreed with a thumbs up.“I'm glad you like it,” she said, sipping on the wine she was served. “I just wanted to tell you that I didn't save you that night because of money. I sav

Explain Yourself
“Don Morano,” Jax called, entering the bakery. Alessandro instantly felt hot. He saw Camilla raise a suspicious eyebrow. “Wasn’t he calling you?” Camilla asked warily.“Me? Hell no!” Alessandro exclaimed, with wide eyes. “My name is Alessandro Cookies,” he laughed awkwardly, hoping not to blow his cover. “Hey, did you call me?” he asked Jax with narrowed eyes.Jax, sharp witted, caught the cue, “Oh, I’m sorry about that, sir,” Jax corrected himself,“I just spoke to my old friend, Morano, and it slipped out of my mouth.”Alessandro shrugged, “See? I knew it was a tongue slip.” He lied and Camilla nodded slowly and turned to her phone. Alessandro excused himself and walked to Jax with Camilla eyeing them cautiously.“It is very important. Our men were..." Jax started, but Alessandro cut him off.“We will deal with this later. Just act normal for now and talk about the dinner reservation I have with Ruby,” Alessandro replied quickly. Jax nodded, and he went back to Camilla.“I had him

You will Regret it
“You noticed I changed my perfume,” Ruby said warily, not sure where the conversation was going. It's been a long while since she changed her perfume."Of course, I did,” Alessandro replied with a confident smile. “This is not the scent you wore on the night we first met, and I must say, I loved that scent. You smelt like heaven.”It dawned on Ruby that he was talking about Camilla, and in as much as she wanted to frown, her face revealed a toothy grin. “Thank you so much for the compliment. Maybe I should wear it more often.”“Yeah. You should wear that every day. Not that the one you are wearing is bad, but that one is better.” He explained, “The lady at the bakery seems to be wearing the same scent that you wore that night.”“Yeah, I recommended the perfume to her. Just like you, she likes the perfume and asked me about it.”“What’s the perfume's name, and who made it?”Ruby swallowed. This was going to be much harder than she thought.“Uh, Magic…” she drawled. She wore a blank face,

Destroy Everything
Camilla waited in her pastry shop. Two customers had dropped by, and she had attended to them. She had already hired workers online, and they would arrive very soon.The new delivery guys were the first to arrive. They were two of them, hired to take the pastries to customers who wanted them delivered. It was a great upgrade to the business. The setting up of the shop had been done online, and she was expecting a great turnout today.Since it was all agreed upon, the delivery guys took their position, and when they were needed, Camilla called on them. Sales were good as expected, and both delivery guys drove out a long distance for delivery. It was during this period that the last hired worker arrived. Camilla had interviewed him online, and she would be meeting Allen for the first time.According to his bio, which Camilla read, Allen dropped out of college due to an inability to pay his school fees. He was two years older than her. His parents died in a ghastly accident in his second

Unexpected Visitor
The thugs moved swiftly at their leader’s order. They began to smash things all over. Camilla was shocked to see her new property being destroyed. Things got messier when one of the customers was being beaten. Others laid down flat and surrendered. The door was closed to the pastry shop, making it hard to escape, and those outside couldn’t help out. If anyone went against the Donatello family, his or her family would be killed. People knew this unwritten rule, and they took their eyes off this injustice. All the police chiefs in the region knew this as well, and they never answered complaints involving the Donatello family.The thugs knew their order, and it was to disrupt the public. They broke all the windows and every other valuable thing. Allen knew this couldn’t continue, and he summoned courage. Only one thug blocked the door leading outside. Allen rushed there and pushed the thug away. He opened the door quickly, but the thugs came at him.He held down the first and second thu

Payback Season
Alessandro looked closely at both Ruby and Camilla. They were two women whom he knew and had a sort of connection with. This connection wasn't ordinary. He knew Ruby had been Camilla’s customer since he met her in front of the bakery the other day.However, he wasn’t expecting to see Ruby with Camilla there when her pastry shop had suffered an attack from thugs.Ruby was the same way. She stood up properly and glanced at Alessandro with her heart pounding hard. She began to think of a suitable explanation, but she knew the implication if Camilla contradicted her."Alessandro,” Ruby hurled in a deep breath.“What are you doing here, Ruby?” Alessandro asked quickly.Camilla stood up and looked at both of them, curiosity swimming in her eyes. She was surprised to know that both of them knew each other.“I… I was, uh,” Ruby stammered. “I was passing by, and I saw the mess, and I had to stop by and comfort her. She looked down and, you know, I can’t stand a depressed person.”Camilla looked

Aura for Aura
He ended the call with Jax and returned to the restaurant. The ladies stopped talking the moment he came in. Camilla looked calmer than before, so he didn’t bother her. He had to solve things now.“I will have a company come over and sort these things out. You should go home for today, and we will take things from here,” Alessandro offered. Camilla didn’t want him to spend more on her, and she decided to reject him.“No, it’s fine,” Camilla replied. “You did enough with your investment. This should be done. I will clean up the mess, and I will sort myself out. I can’t thank you enough, though.”Alessandro sighed and moved closer to Camilla. He could sense what she was thinking, and he held her hands. Ruby thought she would have a cardiac arrest at this point. She knew Camilla would take Alessandro from her if care wasn’t taken. She had to do something about this.“I know what you are thinking right now,” Alessandro told her calmly. “You must think I shouldn’t be burdened. I would thin

An Abduction
“Don’t bother,” Alessandro said, before Jax used the truth serum. “This is a visible case already, and I do not wish to waste any resources on a truth that is clear to the human eye. The Donatello family had already declared war on my family, and they took their first step already. This is not their first act of terror, but I will use this to declare mine. I will no longer allow them to trample upon me.”“As it should be, boss,” Jax raised his head. He was looking so angry at this moment. Alessandro heaved a sigh and looked at the thugs.“Do away with them!” Alessandro ordered. He went outside while Jax got his gun. He shot every single one of them dead and strode outside to see Alessandro outside.“You have changed, boss,” Jax said carefully. He had been thinking about this for a while, and he ended up raising the topic. “If it was the formal part of you, you would kill those thugs with your own hands. Now, you have gotten too soft. Is it because you have gotten a woman under your sk
