Camilla held his hand as they strode into the mansion, away from Alessandro's intruding ears and eyes.When they got into the mansion, she let go of his hand. “Follow me,” she said, leading the way up the spiral flight of ornate stairs. An exotic red rug lined the centre of the staircase. She climbed the staircase, holding onto the railings for stability.Once in the loft, Camilla twirled and saw Allen's eyes darting all over the place in awe like a kid taken on an excursion to a zoo, and she smiled. When she first entered the mansion, she felt the same way.She saw one of the maids dressed in their usual pristine black and white. She asked her to help her bring two cold glasses of juice to her room.Allen tailed Camilla until they entered her room, and Allen eased the door closed.“Please sit,” Camilla offered Allen, pointing to the yellow armchair in her room while she sat at the armchair opposite him. They were separated by a small rosewood centre table.Allen sat and leaned forward
You Bastard! Camilla cursed in her mind. While Alessandro straightened his cloth and fixed a smile on his face as he walked past Camilla into the room.Allen, hearing Alessandro's voice twirled, “Hi Alessandro.” He stretched his arms for a handshake, and Alessandro took Allen's hands in a firm handshake, nearly crushing Allen's knuckles when Allen tapped his arm with his other hand, and Alessandro released his hands with a proud smirk on his face.“Alessandro, you are interrupting a conversation here.” Camilla said, leaving the door ajar, and followed Alessandro into the room with a grimace, but Allen shook his head in disagreement.“No, it’s fine,” Allen told Camilla before facing Alessandro, “you can come and join us. I was just asking Camilla about her attack. You know who shot her.”Alessandro took a little step back from the slight verbal jab from Allen. “What are you insinuating?” Alessandro asked, glaring at Allen, “That I sent those who shot her?”Allen shook his head, feignin
The tension in Camilla's room dipped when Alessandro left. After locking the door, Camilla rested on it for a while, exhaling a deep breath of relief, and then walked back to the table.While Allen ambled to the yellow armchair and slumped on it, plopping his elbow on the armchair and his fists under his chin, he said, “What was that all about?” He asked, the pain in his voice bare.“I don't even know, myself; I'm quite confused,” Camilla frowned, sinking into the seat opposite Allen.“Why did you act as though I was your boyfriend?” Allen drummed his fingers, beating an impatient rhythm on the arm of the chair he was sitting on.Camilla leaned back in the armchair, crossing her right leg on her left. “I did that to get some space from him,” she said honestly.Allen raised his brows at her. “You did that to get some space from him? But I asked if he was disturbing you in any way, and you said no.” Allen reasoned.“Not in that way,” Camilla began and opened her mouth to continue but co
A private place?” Alessandro intoned, and she nodded.“The walls have ears. How about you come to my room?” Ruby suggested, and when she saw Alessandro's facial features tighten, she asked again, “Or do you want us to go to your room?”Going to her room was like negotiating with lions and hoping to get a great bargain in a lion's den.Not wanting to be tangled in her deceit or dirty little tricks, he made his decision. “Let's go to my room,” Alessandro offered. He knew he was better off going to an environment where he exercised more control.Ruby nodded to his suggestion, urging him to lead the way, which he did. Alessandro's mind twisted and turned on the various probabilities of this meeting as they ambled closer and closer to his room.He opened his locked door, stepping aside for her to step in first before him.“You have such a lovely room,” Ruby complimented, her eyes raking over the room when she entered, and Alessandro stiffened.“Sit, he offered, pointing to the fluffy bench
They stole glances at each other as they dined. The spicy aroma of the rice and seafood on their white dishes danced in the stuffy air between them. The room was stuffy with silence save the clinking sound of the fork against the dish as they all ate. Except Ruby.Her fork turned and twirled on her food but seemed to have forgotten the way to her mouth. The flush of her face mirrored the orange prawn that stared back at her from her plate. The creature seemed scared by the determined set of her jaw that looked as though it could creak at how hard she grinded them against each other.She, from time to time, pointed red-rimmed eyes at Alessandro sitting directly opposite her across the white embroidered linen tablecloth on the table.While Alessandro chewed his lobster from one end of his cheek to the other like someone without a single care in the world, after which he washed it down to his belly with a chilled glass of wine. Here is someone expected to feel remorse for the beauty sitt
“What news?” Salvatore asked with eyebrows raised in curiosity.“Jax found out that Antonio had a hand in the shooting that happened a few days ago.” Alessandro sank into the plush seat.“I thought as much,” Salvatore smirked.Ruby perked up her ears when she heard “Antonio.” Could this be the remaining piece of her plan?“Antonio is back in town, and he is not alone. He hired assassins. He hired the Chinese bloody axe." He informed Salvatore, and horror poured on Salvatore; his eyes went wide and his jaw looseneded.“What!” Salvatore exclaimed. The Chinese Bloody Axe was the most prominent mafia in Asia and one of the biggest in the world. They were popularly known for their Ninja Assassins. They had never lost a battle instory.“Damn!” Alessandro cursed, brushing his hand over his face in frustration.Camilla and Ruby were thrown into confusion, as they didn't even know what the Chinese bloody axe meant or was.“Antonio is no child. He is sleek and sly as a serpent. That boy has bee
Judging from the resolve in her narrowed eyes, he figured that going round in circles wouldn't help him get away, so he confessed, "I inherited a lot of businesses. I own casinos, hotels, real estate, and various other businesses,” he folded his hands across his chest.“Yet you don't seem to attend to any of them these days.” Camilla reasoned, and Alessandro swallowed hard; his facial expression slipped, and his smile upturned before he reined himself in, throwing on an indifferent facade.“I'm healing from a gunshot, remember?” Alessandro raised his left brow in question. “And by the way, I have competent managers that manage my businesses and report directly to me. I usually have lunch with them every week for updates on the business's progress, but since the attack, I have to stay indoors.” Alessandro explained.“Is that so?” Camilla asked in a contemplative tone, “Why do you have so many bodyguards following you around everywhere you go?”Alessandro shrugged, “To protect me from th
"Never mind. Just know that I'm not sharing a bed with you.” Camilla stated, folding her arms across her chest in defiance, and Alessandro inhaled deeply and slowly breathed out in surrender.“Whatever you say, signorina,” he offered, plopping himself on the soft bed with a sigh of relief. Camilla watched him as he shrouded himself underneath his duvet with a smile on his face. She watched as he stretched himself on the bed while Camilla tapped her feet against the marble floor in impatience, her hands still folded across her chest.After a few minutes seeing that Alessandro was not going to make any move, she spoke, “Are you just going to lie down and watch me stand here all night long?”“What do you want me to do?” He shrugged, throwing aside the duvet. “I offered that you sleep right next to me, but you refused.”“Of course I'll refuse.” She widened her eyes at him. “How can a young lady sleep on the same bed with a man who is not her father, boyfriend, husband, or even brother?” S
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
