Chapter 20: Relationship & Failed
-
After breakfast Natalia, Eric and her father went upstairs, into her father's office. She knew this was about her relationship with Alessandro.
Both Natalia and Eric took a seat while her father stood. "So tell me, Eric, how do you feel about Alessandro and Natalia's relationship?" Before Eric could speak, Natalia spoke.
"He shouldn't have any feelings about it, he is not my husband." She stated as though she didn't just break off any romantic relationship she had with Alessandro.
"No, but I'm your fiance." Natalia rolled her eye
- Chapter 21: Teasing & Torturing - It was the next day, Natalia was making her way to her father's office since she was just informed about a mission of some sort, apparently, her father wanted her and a few others to steal some crates. Why were they stealing it? Was something Natalia had to find out. Natalia knocked before entering, something she wished her brother would learn to do. She smiled sadly at the thought since her brother had yet to wake up. "Come in." Natalia snapped out of her train of thoughts as she heard her father's voice. As s
- Chapter 22: Oh & Empty - Natalia turned around to face her fiance. "Eric." She forced a smile, feeling irritation rising in her chest. "Natalia, how are y-" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted. "Natalia." She sighed and turned to the voice. "Ryan, are you joining us too?" He gave her a smug grin nodding as his eyes traced her body, making her shiver in disgust. "Yes, I am." "Great." She said sarcastically, not liking this one bit.
- Chapter 23: Start & Andrey - Natalia's P.O.V I watchedas Alessandro got dressed for the party, after many...many rounds of sex. Even though I was unbelievably satisfied, I wanted more. I already missed his lips against mine, I wanted to hear him moan my name as I pleased him as much as he pleased me. "Natalia, don't give me that look." He said finally catching my gaze as he drew me out of my lustful thoughts. "I can't help myself, you look fuckable right now," I stated, earning an amused
- Chapter 24: Detect & Date - Natalia's P.O.V "And herewe are right now," I said, after explaining the events that had happened since my brother was in his coma. "I knew you and Alessandro would be an item." I rolled my eyes, trying my best to keep a smile off my face. "We aren't an item, it's just sex." "He'll want more if you still haven't realised. You have his attention and you could possibly get his heart." Andrey stated, I wondered if he could be right? Was I ready for that? Did I really want Alessandro? "You just woke up from a coma and you're acting like my therapist." He chuckled. "And this thing with Eric will blow over." "And if it
- Chapter 25: Already & Broke - It wasthe next day, I had woken up early since I was extremely excited about the date, though I would never let Alessandro know that, I could already picture his smug smile if he did. Because I had a lot of time before the date I decided to work out with Alessia. "-So then he proceeded to hit him-" I halted her sentence to ask a question. "Wait because he accidentally walked into you?" She nodded, rolling her eyes as she threw punches at the punching bag, I made sure to hold it with a firm grip.
- Chapter 26: Maria & Twin - Natalia's P.O.V I entered Alessandro's room, seeing him on the wooden floor with a blanket filled with food, the windows were opened allowing a good amount of sunlight to be at his disposal. I smiled showing my amusement at the image in front of me. He held out his hand for me to hold, which I did. He brought me down on the blanket beside him. "This isn't exactly how I imagined our first date to be." He joked earning a small chuckle from me. "It's perfect in its own way," I told him, eyes scanning the different types of food on the blanket, the heat that came off the pie told me it was fresh out of the oven. "Do you want to try it?" I nodded watching as he took a piece of the pie, bringing it to my lips. I gentle bit into it. I had to admit it was amazing, the slightly hot jam that was hidden in the pie slipped into my m
- Chapter 27: Devil & Angel - "So at the ball when you first saw me what did you think?" I asked Alessandro curiously while eating a berry. "Well..." FLASHBACK (ALESSANDRO'S P.O.V) "Alessandro Anderson?! How are you? I haven't seen you since you were a child, how's your father?" A black man asked whose hair reminded me of my dark eyes, but he had hints of greys that said he was in his late 40's or 50's. "I'm sorry, but I can't seem to remember your name," I informed him, making him frown as I took two glasses of wine, which were on a silver tray that a waiter held. I handed him one, changing his frown to a smile, "Mandla Jones, it's-" He halted his sentence as his eyes went to the entrance, I raised a brow, confused as he wasn't the only one who had their attention at the door. I followed his gaze, my
- Chapter 28: Sleep & Logs - Natalia's P.O.V A few days had passed since the date, I had to admit I missed Alessandro, he was currently in Italy securing a deal of some sort. "Natalia, are you listening to me?" I nodded, lying. Andrey rolled his eyes knowing it wasn't the truth. "Alessandro left for a few days and you've become lovesick already?" Andrey inquired, a smirk on his lips as I sat around my office, reviewing the caller log from the man who had I found searching my room, his name was Vinnie. "I'm not lovesick. I'm trying to focus on the caller log." He stayed silently, looking down at the caller log sheet I had given earlier, deciding not to tease me further which I was grateful for. My eyes scanned the logs, looking for a recurring number, which took a while since there were many numbers. "Natalia, check this out." I stood w
- Book 2: Epilogue - 5 YEARS LATER Natalia's P.O.V "Happy birthday, beautiful." I heard Alessandro behind me which had me turning off the tv before facing him. "Don't remind me." He only smiled while pressing a kiss against my forehead. "I'm sorry I'm late, my flight got delayed." I gave him a smile of reassurance. "It's fine, I got to spend more time with the kids," I informed him while he took a seat beside me. "That's good to hear, so do you want anything for this birthday?" I stared into his eyes as I bit my lip. "I can get anything I want?" He laughed lightly at my tone. "Besides that, our beautiful children are still awake." I sighed playfully. "Alright, can you make me some pancakes?" "It's 6 pm, Nat." I shrugged. "Isn't it my birthday?" "I guess,
-Book 2: Chapter 28: I & Do-A month later"I already told you we're not gonna have a ceremony, I think having the rings are enough," I told my mother while taking a seat beside Alessandro as he held Dream in his hands.I had Rose in mine."In other words, if she wanted to break up with him she wouldn't have to go through that whole divorce drama," Andrey added making me nod."Exactly." This earned a scoff from Alessandro.
-Book 2: Chapter 27: Pregnant & Yes-A year later"I've never hated you more Alessandro," I stated, making him smile as he flushed the toilet that held my vomit."You're the one who wanted another child. I thought you'd be satisfied after 4." I rolled my eyes as I washed out my mouth before quickly brushing my teeth which didn't take more than 2 minutes."I forgot how the first few months are," I mumbled while putting away my toothbrush, feeling tears greeting my eyes. "I hate this."

By herself?""As I said, she helped me and in return, I helped her." She informed me which didn't clear up all the confusion my mind held."I don't understand. Why would she want revenge if she left Alessandro and Alessia years ag
- Chapter 24: Future & Revenge - Natalia's P.O.V I drove towards the warehouse with a heavy chest as I came closer and closer to the location my sister had given me. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what she was going to do to me once I arrived. This made me wish I had told my kids one last goodbye. I was silently hoping this wouldn't be my last night on this earth, but I knew hope wasn't something steady to rely on.
- Chapter 23: Kirill & Alone - Natalia's P.O.V Hours had passed since dinner even though Maria obviously wanted to speak to me earlier, for some reason she chose to put it off. I was curious as to why, but I decided not to question it as my mind's focus now shifted to the kiss Amanda and Alessandro shared which had been bugging me all night. I knew it shouldn't have bothered me because he already explained their arrangement, but I couldn't help the anger and jealousy that rose in my chest. I took out a bottle of tequila from the
- Chapter 22: Know & Kisses - Natalia's P.O.V We entered the dining room where my family sat talking away. "You all took your time." My mother commented as Alessandro and I slipped our kids into the high chairs my parents bought. "At least we came," I said while taking a seat next to Andrey, sadly Amanda made Alessandro sit next to her. My eyes met Maria's to see she was already staring at me. "I heard you missed." She smiled amused when I said this.
- Chapter 21: Ilaria & Smart - Natalia's P.O.V Once we had showered and gotten dressed, we made our way to the kitchen. Alessia and the twins were quietly talking about the cartoon they had been watching yesterday. When our footsteps were heard, they turned to us. "You two took your time," Alessia commented with a knowing smile, I decided to ignore her as I bent down, matching my children's height. "How many pancakes
