(Lisa's POV) "Are you really sure about this, Lisa?" my dad asked, his tone full of worry, as I placed the last of my clothes into my luggage. "I'm definitely sure about this, Dad. I'm going to Italy," I replied firmly, giving him a determined smile. I wanted him to know I wasn’t going to change my mind. I was heading to Italy to see my boyfriend, Nathan. He had been there for over three months now, and I missed him terribly. Sure, we texted and video-called almost often, but it just wasn’t the same. I missed being with him, holding his hand, and feeling his presence. Three months ago, Nathan told me he needed to go to Italy for work. He said there was a potential client he had to persuade into partnering with him. Nathan owns a wine business in California, but it hasn’t been doing well. The market is competitive, and he struggles to find the right sponsors to take his business to the next level. I’ve always supported him however I could—financially, emotionally, and in every
(Lisa's POV) I walked down the streets of Italy, unsure of where to go or which direction to take. I was in a foreign land where I knew no one. The only person I came to see—the main reason for this trip—had cheated on me and left me shattered and broken. Everywhere I looked seemed to mock me as if the universe was laughing at my foolishness. I had booked a flight all the way from California to Italy, dreaming of a romantic reunion with my boyfriend, only to witness his betrayal. I should have listened to my dad, who had repeatedly warned me not to invest too much in Nathan. But I didn’t. My stubbornness and my foolish heart didn’t allow it. Now, it was too late to cry over spilled milk. I needed to brace myself, hold back my tears, and figure out how to return to California tomorrow. But it was already late in Italy, and I had no idea where to go for the night. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, but I clenched my jaw and forced them back. Nathan didn’t deserve my tears. I
(Lisa's POV) I felt his warm hands carefully lay me down on the bed, his touch gentle as though I were something fragile he didn’t want to break. My body sank into the soft mattress, and I let out a shaky breath, too weak and drained to do much. My eyes fluttered open briefly, only to close again. The alcohol I’d consumed earlier was wreaking havoc on my system, leaving me disoriented and heavy. But even with my eyes closed, I could sense him. His presence filled the room like a commanding force, his strong aura wrapping around me. His scent was intoxicating—clean, masculine, and refreshing in a way that comforted me. I felt the bed dip slightly as he sat down beside me. He didn’t speak at first, but I could feel his eyes on me, studying me. Then, with gentle precision, he removed my sneakers, his warm hands brushing against my ankles as he worked. The touch sent a strange, tingling sensation up my legs, causing my body to heat up in response. What was happening to me? I sensed h
(Alessio's POV) I woke up to find the woman from last night gone. In her place, she had left a pillow where her waist had been. How dare she run off as if what happened between us was meaningless? My jaw tightened as I sat up, her absence triggering a strange blend of frustration and longing. I rose from the bed, heading to the wardrobe to grab fresh clothes. After a quick shower, I changed and prepared to confront the day ahead.My eyes flicked back to the bed, lingering on the faint stain on the sheets—a mark of last night’s intensity. The memory rushed back, vivid and unshakable. Who would have thought a woman so breathtakingly beautiful, with an hourglass figure that seemed sculpted by the gods, would still be a virgin? I felt honored—no, privileged—to have been the first man to touch her. Her fragility, her innocence—it was unlike anything I’d experienced before.The night had started like any other. I went to the nightclub to meet with other mafia bosses, as I often did to disc
(Lisa's POV) "Are you sure nothing happened in Italy?" my dad asked, trying to force the truth out of me. Ever since I came back to California two days ago, his question has remained the same. He was clearly surprised when I came back just a day after leaving. He hadn’t expected me back so soon, but I wasn’t ready to tell him the truth about Nathan’s betrayal—or how I had carelessly given my virginity to a total stranger. "Nothing happened, Dad," I replied, forcing the words out. Guilt welled up inside me for lying to him, but I just wanted to forget everything that had happened in Italy and move on. "Then why did you come back so soon?" he pressed, his brows knitting together. "You were supposed to stay at least a week." I swallowed hard. He wasn’t wrong. If Nathan hadn’t betrayed me, I would still be in Italy. And maybe, just maybe, I wouldn’t have encountered the stranger who made me feel things I’d never felt before. "He’s busy with work. I didn’t want to stress him out," I l
(Alessio's POV) I stood by the window of my suite, staring out at the moon. Her face replayed in my mind, as if the moon itself had captured the image of her. It wasn’t the look I had imagined when we would meet again. The expression she wore held a combination of fear and hatred, as if she both feared and despised me at the same time. I couldn’t care less about what she thought of me. She had already made her choice when she agreed to be mine—the moment she allowed me to touch every part of her body. And now, I would never let her go. Was it love? I couldn’t say. But one thing was certain: she would never have the chance to escape from me again. I had kidnapped her and brought her all the way from California to Italy because she was mine—mine to touch, mine to possess. No one else would kiss her, touch her, or do any of the things I wanted to do to her body. The memory of that night when I explored her body, marking it as my own, flashed through my mind. The feeling of her ben
(Lisa's POV) I sat down on the cold floor of the room, my stomach groaning in hunger. I was hungry, so hungry that I felt weak, but I was just too stubborn to eat anything. Those Italian dishes that were served to me were some of the best dishes I had ever seen, but I couldn't bring myself to eat, not when I had been kidnapped by him. I don't even know his name, and I didn't want to know because I want to leave. He might be tall, handsome, with muscles that could easily overpower me and a jawline sharp enough to cut through steel, but he was insane. Who kidnaps someone and claims them as their possession just because of a one-night stand? Come to think of it, I was only drunk that night, and his touch sent sensational feelings to my body, which made me lose control and threw myself at him despite his cold, clipped warnings. The way he claimed and imprinted himself on me, how his huge cock went in and out of my tight pussy replayed in my head. My body tensed up immediately, but I
(Lisa's POV) "Madame, are you okay? Did I say something wrong?" The woman asked, rushing toward me. The way she called me madame grated on my nerves, adding to the frustration already boiling inside me. I wanted to scream at her, to tell her to leave me alone, but I swallowed the urge. Deep down, I knew she wasn’t the cause of my problems. This mess was my doing—every choice, every mistake, led me to this moment. If only I hadn’t stubbornly insisted on going to Italy despite my father’s warnings, none of this would have happened. I wouldn’t have caught Nathan cheating on me, and I certainly wouldn’t have ended up here, trapped in the clutches of a mafia boss. Should I blame Nathan for betraying me, or should I blame myself for walking straight into this disaster? No, this was all my fault. No one forced me to pack my bags and leave for Italy in the first place. "If I did anything wrong, please forgive me, madame. I don’t want to face Boss Alessio’s wrath. He strictly ordered m
(Alessio's POV) I stormed into my room, fists clenched in rage and my heart pounding with fury. Why is she so fucking stubborn? I warned her. I fucking warned her not to try to escape again, but she took my words for granted. If I hadn’t been home on time, she'd have died from the smoke and the traps. My house isn’t like the typical house you see every day; it’s not just a maze-like structure, it’s filled with so many hidden dangers that if you're not cautious, you’ll fall right into them. My enemies don't dare to attack me from the inside because they know what will happen if they do—what will befall them if they try. "Tie her up and lock her in the cold room," my order from earlier echoed in my mind, fueling my anger even further. If she had just listened to me, I wouldn’t have had to issue that command. The way I treat her is different from how I treat everyone else, yet all she thinks about is escaping from me. Why can’t she fucking understand that she is mine and I won’t le
(Lisa's POV) Waking up the following morning, I saw the duvet wrapped around me. I don’t sleep with a duvet wrapped around my body, so I knew he was here last night. He must’ve been the one who covered my body with a duvet. It’s a good thing I didn’t see him last night. He isn’t human but a monster. How could he gouge out a man's eye without a second thought? It came so easily to him, which meant killing someone would be just as effortless. This wasn’t the first time he had done it, either. It felt so terrifying to see how the man’s blood splashed out from his eye. It felt like I was watching a real live brutal movie. I am not a fan of bloodshed movies. I prefer lighthearted movies that had to do with romance, but yesterday, I witnessed blood splashing out from someone’s eye. The thought of it made me want to puke, but the knock on the door distracted me. My heart raced, thinking he was the one at the door, but on second thought, Alessio isn’t the type to knock before coming
(Alessio's POV) In the VIP room of a nightclub, women presented themselves to me, stripping naked in front of me while dancing and twisting to the slow music in the background. They were doing their best to seduce me, going so far as to spread their thighs apart, giving me a clear view of their pussy. But I stayed emotionless as I watched them, with the smoke from the weed I was smoking drifting around my face. No matter how seductive they looked, I wasn’t moved by it. All that kept replaying in my mind was Lisa—the night I met her, and also the same night I explored her body and made her mine. I always come to the nightclub to watch strippers dance for me in a VIP room, and afterward, I'd take them to bed and fuck them however I wanted. But after that night with Lisa, it’s hard to get any woman in bed. She stirred something in me, such that my cock refuses to erect at the sight of a woman who isn’t her. I’m a sex addict. Since women at the clubhouse were easy to buy with mone
(Alessio's POV) I caught him staring at Lisa—his eyes shamelessly roaming over her breasts, lingering on her curves as if he had any right to desire what wasn’t his. A surge of uncontrollable rage coursed through me. I had uprooted her from her peaceful life in California to keep her safe, under my protection, away from the lustful gazes of men like him. And yet here he was, crossing the line I had silently drawn. Before I could process my actions, I was on him. My hands locked around his throat like a vice, squeezing as if I could snap his neck with sheer willpower. My anger boiled over when he dared to call Lisa a call girl—a disgusting insult to the woman who never laid on bed with any man until she met me. How dare he? "Give me a knife. Someone’s eyes need to be plucked out," I commanded, my voice cold and unforgiving. The menace in my tone was undeniable—I meant every word. Ivan, ever loyal and efficient, handed me a knife without a moment’s hesitation. In one swift motion,
(Lisa's POV) "My woman?" The words echoed in my mind, its weight unsettling. No man had ever said that to me before. Even Nathan, my ex-boyfriend, never referred me with such possessiveness. Yet, hearing Alessio call me his woman sent an inexplicable flutter through my chest. "Should I bathe you?" Alessio’s deep voice pulled me back to reality. He leaned closer, his fresh breath brushing against my face, making me freeze in place. "If you don’t say something, I might take your silence as a yes," he added, as he reached down as if to lift me off the bed. "I can bathe on my own," I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper. He chuckled—low and brief—but it disappeared so quickly that I questioned if I’d imagined it. Without another word, he strode back to the couch, lighting a cigarette with a calm demeanor that contrasted sharply with the storm of emotions swirling inside me. "Aren't you going to leave?" I asked, and he exhaled a plume of smoke, his sharp eyes locking onto
(Lisa's POV) I tried figuring out the structure of his house so I could find where the exit leads to. If I can figure out the exit of this maze-like house, I will finally be able to escape. But it was futile because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. My head was spinning as a result of it, and it made me wonder if it took hundreds of years to build such a house. It was so confusing. He must’ve structured his house like this because of his enemies. I haven’t encountered a mafia boss before, but from the stories I’ve heard, they’re surrounded by webs of enemies. That’s why I need to escape from this place before he drags me into his blood-soaked world. I’m not a warrior princess or Wonder Woman to be dragged into the chaotic world he lives in. “We are here, madame,” Ivan said to me when we got to the doorstep of my room. I forced a smile since he was smiling at me. He wasn’t like Alessio, who never smiles yet still wants me not to be afraid of him. I don’t want to see what
(Alessio's POV) Her eyes were shut as I stared at her sleeping on the bed. She looked so innocent and fragile when she sleeps, as if she isn't afraid of anything. But when she looked at me, she always appeared terrified, as though I was her worst nightmare that came to life. Am I that scary? The question surged through me as I continued staring at her. She lay on my bed, still asleep. I must have scared her to the point of making her pass out. I didn’t even do anything. I only asked why she was trying to escape. Did I ask her those questions in a harsh tone? Was my voice too deep? Is that why she got scared and fainted? Or were my eyes too cold for her? I wondered to myself, trying to figure out where I went wrong to frighten her so much. This was how I was raised—to always be in control, to always be in charge so no one could step on my toes. Maybe that’s why I can’t interact with her in a way that wouldn’t make her scared. I stood up from the couch and moved to sit on th
