His Salvation Chapter Thirty Eight
*** Upper East Side, New York Alessandra "Vintage rugs." Draken murmured, taking in the colorful rugs all around the house that I had placed around to replace the sterile, mono-chromatic colors that had beeen present before. Gone were the black, gray rugs- all of which had been replaced with colorful vintage rugs that matched the white couches. An outside, objective eye would appreciate the meld of colors with the monochromatic colors of the couches and the walls but to my mercurial husband whose entire wardrobe consisted of black and navy blue suits, it was like a unicorn had barfed all over the living room floors. I had never been given styling freedom around the house. I was yet to explore my freedom to design a house to fit my own likes and although I had picked the most colorful rugs I could find in the store all in efforts to drive my husband mad, I actually liked how they turned out around the house. Gone was the sterile feel. The place somehow felt like home. We were no

*** Upper East Side, New York Alessandra The nightmare assailed me, its ruthless claws digging deep into my sub conscious as I felt the fear poison my veins. It had been a blissful four months since I had the displeasure of experiencing the familiar and unpleasant peak of my heartbeat and the swirl of darkness that seemed to chill my body to the bone. I was back in the usual dark hallway, the flickering light up ahead doing nothing to illuminate the space that seemed to stretch for miles but I knew well enough that that wasn't the case. I couldn't quite see it due to the poor lighting but I knew it was there. My entire body knew the damn thing was there. A red door. I was shaking, not only from fear but also from a bone chilling cold that could only be described as inhuman. It was the weirdest mix of emotions, chilling cold on the outside whereas my insides felt like they were melting under the pressure of the dread that coursed through me as I looked towards the menacing door th

*** Upper East Side, New York Alessandra "You're telling me there isn't at least one suit remaining?" Draken's voice pulled me from my dreamless sleep, restoring me to a world of warmth and the sound of his voice that sent shivers through me. Despite having Just woken up, my body still reacted so rawly to his presence, a problem that I needed to find a way to rectify. It might be harder to do that, especially after how he took care of you last night... It was not an unfounded worry. No one other than my family knew of my Nightmare Disorder. They were the only ones who had seen me at my worst and taken care of me through it. No one else had shown me such kindness, especially a man who supposedly married me to fulfill whatever agenda or plan he has in the pipeline. Why Did he help me? I mean, its not like he had anything to gain from doing what he did, saying what he said... The words he spoke to me last night in the bathroom came back in full force, reminding me of the intense e

Manhattan, New York Draken "I need to see my little sister. Today." Alessandra's voice was calm despite our little dining room exchange. I had been unable to hold myself back, control the desire that seared through my veins when I saw her; every single moment I think of the woman before me, let alone being in the same room with her leaves my mind clouded with desire. She stood at the threshold of the main door, looking absolutely stunning, enough to take my breath away. Her defiance was palpable in the air, lurking beneath those enchanting blue eyes. Eyes that still haunt my dreams every night, more so now that she lies next to me. From the little mole underneath her left eye to the small crease on her brow whenever she was angling for a fight, her body had become an open book, revealing the storm before it washed all of us away. Her mind was still a vault but not for long. I had to admire her resolve. She was proving to be more interesting as time goes by, more so now that I kn

*** Lower Manhattan, New York Alessandra "Holy shit! I missed you so much, sorella! I missed this! Being grounded without you has been literal TORTURE! And Mama isn't necessarily the best company when all she seems to watch is soap operas all damn day when she's not being her husband's 'prim and proper wife'. God, its been so annoying!" "Papa cut my house arrest short because of my engagement ceremony coming up but he still insisted on having his goons follow me around like some kind of criminal, damn him!" Vittoria complained, her words slightly slurred from the five cocktails she had downed so far. She glanced at our family bodyguards, her frown ever present as she glared at one of them who was quick to look away. He knew better than to mess with her. The two of us had grown quite the reputation among our father's men not just for our stubbornness and antics but for the intense training we had gone through. Rumors had floated around of our combat abilities and although none of

*** Upper East Side, New York Draken " The Colombian still hasn't made a move, it seems. He's gone underground, probably gathering support to hit back or something. A futile and stupid endeavor." Rowan commented, shaking his head in what seemed like true exasperation as he thought of Pablo Adrien Hernandez's attempts to defy us. The thought of the man still managed to irritate the shit out of me. He was inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, nothing but a nuisance in the background of my plans. I had anticipated that his greed and need for power would become somewhat of a problem when I dealt with Diego. Their shady business dealings had been within the dossier I compiled on the man who had been somewhat involved in my father's accident. Yes, the Moreno family had participated in the conspiracy that threatened to break my family. A gathering of the underworld's worst had come together to create a plan to take down my family and take our spot at the top of the food chain.

*** Upper East Side, Manhattan Alessandra "Are you serious? I can really have anything I want?" Tori asked for the umpteenth time, her wide grin and wild, excited look in her eyes making me chuckle in absolute amusement. I was not surprised by her reaction. Like me, she was a shopping fanatic and having her pick anything she wanted from the Designer store we were now in was like a dream come true. It was not that our father did not possess the money or the means to provide us with everything we could ever want. It was that he was highly restrictive- which is honestly the only form of normal parenting we ever got from him and mama. We had allowances and although it was substantial, it was certainly not enough for the things we really wanted to purchase. Unless it's weapons...now that was a purchase Papa could get behind, the maniac... But everything changed after my marriage. Now, I had some semblance of freedom to purchase whatever I wanted using the credit card availed to Vladm

***Manhattan, New YorkAlessandra"I had a night terror, Tori. I just had to have a nightmare in front of him and he took care of me! I showed him one of my biggest weaknesses and now, I don't know how to fix it. I mean, I got the usual weird stares from his staff- some of whom I am sure HATE me- but he said nothing. Who knows what the hell he is planning."I shouted over the music to my little sister who instantly pulled me in for a warm hug that I tried hard not to relate to the one He had given me last night. She understood the implications of such a revelation to the man I was trying to save us from.A man who was clearly capable of more than we gave him credit for...A true Mafia Made Man like everyone else around us..."It's going to be okay, sorella. He may have witnessed that side of you but he doesn't know everything. He can't use it against you."Tori tried to reason and comfort me but I knew well enough- as she did too- that the Russian Made Man was more intuitive and intel

***Long Island, New YorkAlessandraI stared at my little sister, a small smile on my lips as I took her in. She was radiant in her wedding gown, looking every bit like the gorgeous bride that she was meant to be. Her wedding day was here and although we had believed that it would be a day of sorrow, it had turned out to be a happier occasion than the weddings that had come before it.For one, she was smiling wide, readying herself for the massive change in her life with a man who seemed to care more for her than she had anticipated. Keisuke Satarou had revealed his hand on the night of the attack and although he had tried to play it cool afterwards, the sentiment had not worked as well as he had hoped. We now knew how he truly felt and it filled all of us with a sense of calmness to know that the two of them would be okay.They may not want to admit their true feelings for each other but they are perfect for each other. They are going to be just fine, especially now that everything

***The Hamptons, New YorkAlessandraI crouched low, reloading my gun as I did while the gunshots ricocheted all around us. Tori and I had been holding our own in the wake of our accident, the two of us watching each other's backs as we advanced towards the individuals who had attacked us. Although some of our guards were still in the fight with us, others had been killed in the crossfire.And we were determined to avenge them as we reloaded our weapons and shot towards the army of men who had been sent to take us for some reason."Who the hell are these people? And why the fuck do some of them look like our men?!"Tori shouted, ducking back behind our bullet-ridden car as our assailants pushed forward. My stomach plummeted at my sister's words, reminding me of the realization that we had come to several days ago. Draken had been determined to find evidence that showcased my Uncle's involvement in all the shady fucking deals. We had uncovered illegal dealings existing as recent as no

***Brooklyn, New YorkDrakenI stared at the man before me, knowing well enough that there was certainly more to him than met the eye. Zeno Rinaldi may have been involved in one too many scandals with his Father that had traversed the underworld but it had seemed to strengthen him all the more. Despite Massimo Rinaldi's efforts, word of the hate that existed between his heir and his twin brother was commonplace.Which was why he had been the perfect person to approach- or rather to wait on for a much more comprehensive conversation away from small talk. Although our relationship wasn't strained, there was a tinge of awkwardness that could only be explained away by the tumultuous relationship between our families.It had nothing to do with the fact that he and Suyin Castellanos had made sure to pass across their veiled threats on the day of my wedding...they were protective of Alessandra and I respected that...My gaze shifted to the heir of the Triad who was every bit as terrifying a

***The Hamptons, New YorkAlessandra"Thank you for your reassurance, Vittoria. I do hope that our families are united through this union as well. I would love to get to know you both as well with time if it's okay with you."Aysun shared, a shy smile on her lips as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. It was an unlikely reaction that neither Tori nor I had expected as she shared the same stunned look but we nodded eagerly all the same, glad to have gained such a great friend. She always kept her distance from people and was not easily approachable but she seemed to have warmed up to us considerably."We would love that. Thank you, Aysun."Granting us a final smile, she turned just as yet another couple of people walked up to pay their respects to her. Her walls were back up instantly, the unreadable gaze that was a familiar look on her and reminded me so much of my husband. It equally reminded me of the fact that she was a trained killer and one of the best at the craft i

***The Hamptons, New YorkAlessandra"Now remember, don't do anything I wouldn't do, malyshka. Play nice until I get there, okay?"Draken's instructions made me chuckle as I stared out of the window of the moving SUV. We were on our way to a formal event organized by the Sahin family. Although I had met the Turkish mafia's Don on very few occasions, she had been kind enough to extend an invitation not only to Draken and I for her younger sister's upcoming nuptials to one of the main Aristocratic families in the Cosa Nostra.The woman was an enigma, and the one and only female Don in the entire criminal underground. She was a force to be reckoned with many individuals choosing to stay away from her due to the rumours of her madness and ruthlessness. I, however, found her to be kinder than most with the familiar glint of hard brutality that was given in the world we lived in.She has to be tough to make it in this cruel world we live in...To stand at the top as she always does...She d

***Upper East Side, New YorkAlessandraThe ride home had been silent as we both seemed to get lost in our thoughts. Doctor Valentine had been incredibly pleased by the progress, recommending two sessions per week to continue down the right path of healing. Although I had been petrified at the thought of recalling everything, I was glad I did for the PTSD had distorted my memory, and made me bury it deep into my subconscious."It was my Uncle Salvatore. He had us kidnapped, the bastard. I've always been wary of that man but never would I have imagined that he had been behind that. I guess I always subconsciously knew that he was an evil piece of shit. I know Papa might not believe me but I should probably mention it to him. My only question is why? Why would he have kidnapped me? I'm not as valuable as Zeno probably would have been. I'm essentially insignificant in the grand scheme of things so why me?"I murmured out loud, earning a side look from my husband. He was driving us tonig

***I was in the back of the black SUV, windows tinted as always with two guards at the front. Mama was angry with me. I had defied Papa and embarrassed him at the event we had just left. I couldn't help it, though. The Serrano sisters had been mean again and I refused to let them talk ill of my little sister. I wouldn't let them bully us.Although Papa had been the one to banish me for giving them a beatdown, there was a proud glint in his eyes. I knew he wouldn't punish me too thoroughly. Probably a week in the basement or some gruelling training from Antonio. Zeno had been proud, Selene had been amused and Tori had hoped she could come with me. My siblings were my priority and knowing they had my back was all I cared about.At least I got to leave the boring party first. I was grounded but I was definitely okay with it. I didn't regret my actions one bit. The drive home wasn't as fast as I hoped it could be. I wanted to get out of this stupid dress. Mama always insisted on putting

***Upper East Side, New YorkAlessandraI stared ahead, trying not to internalize the place we were or the people milling about around us. I tried to process the decision I had made this morning- agreeing to follow the man sitted beside me who hadn't let go of my hand since we left the mansion this morning. He had stuck by my side even as he promised that his entire day would be committed to me.And now I know why...we're in a literal psychiatrist's office...I was moderately confused, alarmed by the fact that I had not fought off the man before me, stormed off and been incredibly offended by his initiative and yet here I was, Seated beside him, biding our time to wait for the Doctor to see us.Could it be because of last night? Because of yet another nightmare....They had been coming in more often for the last couple of weeks, some more brutal than others but lately, since the brunch from hell three days ago, I had experienced one of the worst nightmares since I'd left my childhood
His Salvation Chapter Fifty Five
*** Long Island, New York Draken I watched my woman walk away, revelling in her presence and her love. I could see it wedged deep within her gaze. Although the words had not been spoken, the sentiment was there and strong. I knew it would only be a matter of time before everything would be revealed. Everything was coming to a head, and soon, she would remember everything. She needs to know how long this has been simmering...how long I have longed for her and loved her... She had always been the one. The only one who owned me- body and soul. She was my Queen and I would worship the ground she walked on, always and forever. She had no idea how long I had longed for her. But soon, everything will change. Especially after all that has been revealed...Our revenge is coming to a head. Soon, this will all end...and I can finally be with her. She is my true reward, the woman I have been longing for all my life... I turned to gaze at the man before me, the literal scum of a human being w
