“It was the same old thing. Felix would always hit Carmine for the slightest reason when he got drunk, and what could the woman do but to endure? She always claims she doesn’t want to be lonely and that she sincerely loved Felix. She had promised a lot of people to change Felix’s gambling and drinking nature.But Felix ended up changing her instead. Her self-esteem suffered, and her life had changed for the worst. She was a shadow of herself, and she didn’t seem to notice. She was simply drifting away.Carmine already knew how this would go. She would get a few punches and slaps, then she would escape to stay at a neighbor’s place. The neighbor would advise her one more time to call the police, but she would decline. She would head back in the evening and Felix would have sobered up. He will give an apology, and they will have a passionate make-up time together while staying up half of the night due to their intimate desires.It was the same old thing. Nothing new for Carmine.Meanwhi
The more Camilla thought about it, the more irresistible it sounded. She had nowhere to stay and Allen of all people was offering her a free room. Allen could see the look of doubt on her face. He had to convince her by all means, and he was ready to go all out.“I can only allow you to stay for a few months, but you will have to pay the moment you start working again. I am also under a sponsor and trust me, I don’t want to be broke. I have bills to pay myself,” Allen replied carelessly.And this worked on Camilla. She didn’t want free things from Allen and now that he stated he would accept money, she could take a deep breath.“I am sorry for burdening you,” Camilla told him respectfully, ignoring the fact that she was his boss a few days ago.“No, it’s fine! At least, I am going to be compensated financially. That is all that matters,” Allen told her firmly. With this, Camilla decided to accept the shelter. She had nothing planned yet but she was definitely going to pay every single
The moment her hands touched Alessandro’s chest, he jumped out of the bed. Ruby didn’t have a chance today with him. She could see how anxious he was when he turned on the lights.Lo and behold, Ruby was actually half naked. From the first look, Alessandro could determine that she had only her towel on. This wasn't a seduction to Alessandro. He was so stressed, and this seemed like a desperate and frantic effort to him. He gazed at Ruby, and she did as well. Alessandro was annoyed.“I hate this,” Alessandro told her honestly. “Go back into your room and don’t try this again with me. If we will have such a relationship, let me be the one to make the first move.”“I can’t stand by and watch this!” Ruby told him firmly. “It is time for us to define our relationship. Look into my eyes and tell me what I am to you. Look at what I went through for you and give me a sound reply.”“Don’t do this. Do not push me, please,” Alessandro muttered.“I saved you on that day, even though I might have
Ruby and Alessandro freshened up for the morning separately, and Alessandro made sure that clothes were brought for Ruby into his room. He already vacated the room while she dressed up too. Ruby found all of these strange. She thought Alessandro would take responsibility by being in a relationship with her, but he was visibly taking a step backwards when he was stuck with her.Ruby knew how to make Alessandro her lover, so even though she felt under pressure, she knew she could navigate through this. She had the proper mindset.Salvatore had invited both of them to breakfast with him, and actually, he brought his own personal chef to make a full English breakfast for the trio. Salvatore was at the head of the table since this seemed to be more of a gathering for matchmaking. Alessandro knew that much already. However, he played along. He could still remember Camilla, and he had men searching for her everywhere. If only she appeared now, he could play out of Ruby’s scheme.“Both of you
A knock wakes Camilla from her deep slumber on the soft bed. She groans and snuggles further into the cotton pillow, which smells lightly of lemon. She needed that rest. That space is from Ruby and her shenanigans.The knock came on the door again, this time a little louder, and she groaned, peeling her eyes open, “I'm coming!” she said, stretching till her bones nearly broke. She picked up her phone to check the time, but her phone had died from the soft music she was playing last night. She dropped the phone on the bed, throwing over the immaculate white duvet to answer the door.She turned the gold knob and poked her head out of the door and saw Allen, his face curled into a bright smile. Good morning,” he greeted. “It seems I woke you up.”“Yeah, sort of.” Camilla replied, “But it is completely fine.”“Can I come in?” Allen asked, his innocent green eyes searching hers, and she shook her head because she was still in her nightie. It left very little to the imagination. She didn't w
“Go on, tell me the truth.” Salvatore urged her on when he noticed she was hesitant. He intentionally pulls open his blue blazer, showing off his stainless steel pistol stuffed in front of the waistband of his pants.“Please don't shoot me, sir,” Ruby pleaded when her eyes collided with the gun. She was visibly shaking in her shoes. Salvatore hated having a lady in this position, scared and terrified, so he decided to ease up on her a little bit.“Okay, no one is shooting you, but on one condition: that you say the absolute truth.” He said, keeping the gun on the table. “Sit.” He instructed him, and she sat on the bed. He walked over to the table and kept the gun, then picked up the bottle and glass on the table and poured water for her in the glass. “Here,” he said, handing her the glass, “Drink and calm down.” He ordered and sat on the yellow armchair that was just beside the small table that had his gun on it.“The truth is…” Ruby considered telling him the truth but changed her mi
“Boss, we know her exact location now,” Jax said as he entered Alessandro's study, the pride surging through him swirling in his voice.Alessandro’s eyes sparked with excitement for the first time in days. He had gone back to his workaholic self, distancing himself from Ruby. “Where is she?” he demanded.“She is east of town. It would take us approximately two hours to get to her.”“Where exactly is she? A hotel?” Alessandro asked again, and Jax shook his head.“No, she is in a mall. De Pristine Mall.”Alessandro knew the mall. It was quite a high-end mall. Only for the elite of the society. Camilla was not an elite. At least not yet. How did Camilla get the money to be able to afford such a place in just a short time? Or is she with somebody? Who could it be? His mind spun at the kaleidoscope of possibilities, but he knew in due time he would find out.“Get the cars ready; we leave in a few minutes.” Alessandro commanded walking to his room to get changed.At De Pristine mall with sk
Camilla noticed Allen's face morph into a more serious demeanour. “I want to tell you something, Camilla,” he said, leaning over the table and taking Camilla's hand in his. “I don't want you to take this the wrong way…” Camilla only stared at him, wondering what he was about to say.“Camilla!” She heard a familiar, gruff voice behind her yell her name, and she twirled. Lo and behold, it was Alessandro with Jax following closely behind him.“Alessandro!” Camilla sighed, slowly pulling her hand out of Allen's hold.“You don't want to see him?” Allen asked, his gaze following her line of sight.“No.” She replied, but then Alessandro was already close and took hold of Camilla's hands. “Where have you been? What happened?” Alessandro asked, looking a little distressed, “How are you?He asked and got no reply from Camilla but had his arms lifted off Camilla's hand, “Let her be. She doesn’t want to see you!” Allen barked.Alessandro's hot gaze trailed from Allen's hands to his face, and his
CAMILLA'S POVThe night before had been beautiful with Alessandro and I, making love twice. The first with his tongue. The second with his fingers. Was he intentionally teasing me? I wanted his cock. I wanted all of him inside me. I knew too much about how to play this game especially when it came to a man like Alessandro. It took patience.I had just woken up but I stayed in bed a little longer, cradled in the arms of Alessandro.. feeling his skin around me as he kept me warm. After a while, I climbed out of bed and started off to make breakfast. I fried bacon's prepared eggs, sasages and with toast.Soon he joined me In th kitchen, we prepared the food together and ate and while walking to the bedroom to get ready for the day. We began kissing right in front of the wardrobe where we had been picking up clothes.ALESSANDRO'S POV Her hand moves to the back of my head. With mythrusting tongue, I part her lips so that our tongues clashin heated passion.Our once calm, leisurely kiss
ALESSANDRO'S POVWe were just about to go to bed. I was lying down on the bed when I hear the shower turn on in her bathroom. But then… she walks across the bedroom… completely naked.Tits, the perfect handful.Hips, just enough to grab on to.Pussy, waxed and so goddamn tempting. One taste wasnot enough.Mother.Fucker.She looks over at me, flips her hair over her shoulder,and then goes to her nightstand. She opens a drawer andpulls out her pink dildo with the suction cup at the end.Turning toward me, she offers a full-frontal view, and my mouth goes dry as my eyes take in her tight nipples, hard and craving my mouth. Aware of my staring, Camilla takes the end of the dildo and rubs it across her chest, allowing her head to fall back as she brings it up to her mouth.Her tongue peeks out . . .And she licks the goddamn top.I’m fucking gone.My cock jolts in my briefs.Sweat breaks out on my lower back.And just like that, my willpower snaps.Satisfied with herself, she moves to
CAMILLA'S POVI broke away from the kiss with a rasp, “While you were away I had to get a helping hand.”“What helping hand?” He asked and I stuffed my hand inside the side of the sofa, “This,” I said pulling out the pink dildo with a suction cup from the side of the chair.. His eyes widened. I didn't know you were this… Wild.”I blushed looking away from him, but he turned my face to him and said, “There is no reason to be shy.” He lifts me in his arms and places me on the table, “I love my girls wild.” He said, taking off my palazzo trousers and panties and bending to his knees, “On the day you bought it did you play with yourself when you got home?” I suck in a sharp breath as he places a kiss on my inner thigh. “I’ve played with myself every night since you left me alone.”His eyes meet mine. “You missed my cock?”“Yes I missed it,” I drawled, needy.“From today, If you play with yourself at night, I want to fucking hear it. I want to hear your moans. I want to know that you’re s
After finishing my meeting with the board of directors of the company I just bought, I called Camilla but she was not picking my calls. That was quite unusual. I called her about five more times but she still didn't pick up. Maybe she was swamped by work. I went back to the mansion after the meeting. After undressing and putting on something more simple I walked straight to my study to do more work. As I sat on the swivel chair in my study I checked my phone.I had missed calls from Santino. He must have been calling to plead for the release of his father and uncle but that is one of the last things I cared about at this moment. I'll make him suffer for his sins. I called Camilla back and she still didn't pick up.I decided to do some work before calling her again. After about one hour of working, I tried her number again. And this time it was not going through at all. I grew restless and worried, so I drove down to the bakery myself. Once I walked in, the store was brewing with a l
It has been four days since we opened the bakery. I had about a hundred thousand dollars sitting pretty in my bank account. Even though the money still belonged to Alessandro I couldn't help the feeling of pride that swelled within me at having that amount of money in my account. The same person who barely had a thousand dollars to her name eight months ago now has about fifty five thousand dollars which Is mine and a total of a hundred thousand dollars in my account. That is growth in my definition. I dreamt sweet dreams with these thoughts in my head. I woke up the next day feeling so fly and happy. Who says money doesn't buy happiness? I felt as though I could buy the world with just fifty five thousand dollars in my name. And people say that money doesn't buy happiness. What would happen when I have a million dollars to my name? I might as well walk on water.I stood from my bed. I put on the sound system and connected it to my phone and began to play music.I swayed my body f
CAMILLA'S POV“Ruby?” I answered with wide eyes.“What is she doing here?” Alessandro asked the question that was in my mind.“I don't know if she had mentioned that she had something to tell me. I guess that's why she is here.” I explained to Alessandro and I saw a frown crease his face. His face became suddenly distant. “Please let her in.” I told clara who immediately left the office. Probably not wanting to be tagged as a gossip, but it was people most likely like her were the greatest gossips of all time.“Why do you look so annoyed? you obviously don't want to see her, what did she do?”“Nothing really.” he shrugged, “I'm just no5 fond of her anymore.”“Does she still stay at your house?” I asked my eyes swimming in curiosity and he grimaced at me.“Gossip,” he teased and inlaughed “Oh please, Alessandro, just tell me. Why are you eating like a Saint now as though you don't ask me personal questions about people too. And by the way this is just my first time.”“I'm just doing
CHAPTER 98CAMILLA POVI winced, snuggling more into the soft pillow. My hands flew to my head immediately when I felt a sharp headache from hell. My head was throbbing so much as though there were invincible hands pressing my head together to squish out juice from it.Even with my heavy eyelid closed I could feel the full sunlight filtering through the curtains into the apartment. The apartment?How did I get to the apartment? I was at the club. Then I left with someone… Jeez. WHO THE HELL DID I LEAVE WITH??The question forced my heavy eyelids Open, sitting up immediately and backing myself against the headboard. I felt a presence beside me and when I looked I saw Alessandro and immediately a sudden calm settled around like a cold blanket of warmth. I hurled in a deep breath, slowly closing my eyes and opening it to catch myself. “Thank God, I wasn't picked up by some psycho.” I looked down at myself and a gasp escaped my lips when I realized I was wearing one of my night wears. Ho
CAMILLA'S POVTears slipped from my eyes immediately as the elevator shut against Alessandro and I let myself collapse to the floor of the elevator as it descended. The cold of the metal floor seeping through my dress, a mirror to the cold world we live in.Loneliness clothed me like a thick cloth. With no one to rest my shoulder and cry on except the one I couldn't let myself go to. He was my only true ally. Ruby was too busy plotting new tricks, and my mother doesn't give a rat's ass if I was dead or alive. Alone. Maybe I was a true workaholic, like Ruby always said. How can a full-grown woman like me not have friends? Could it have been because I didn't go to college?The ding of the elevator pulled me out of my daydream, and I scrambled to my feet immediately so I didn't leave the security personnel wondering if I was mentally stable.Once the elevator opened fully, I trudged out of the elevator into the hallway, where a few couples were dining and laughing. I looked at the main d
“I'm faring well,” she swirled the wine in her glass with fidgety hands. “What about you?”“Bad.” I said, leaning in to the table, and saw her face go blank. She might decide to hide her feelings, but I'm not about to hide mine.“May I know why?” She asked, setting her glass on the table after taking a sip.“Because I missed you.” I told her and saw surprise splash across her face before she masked it in careful indifference.“How did the advertisement for the bakery go?” she asked carefully, and I leaned back on my chair.“Yes, I'm done with it.” I said, taking a quick gulp of my wine to lubricate my dry throat, “We can open tomorrow and start preparing for the next few days and weeks because it will be such an intense period of growth.”“You are so confident in your strategies.” She said, and I smiled, looking up at the dazzling star-filled sky and inhaling a deep breath.“Of course. I have been doing this for years, so I kind of have a knack for things like this. I already know how
