Chapter 62Alessia’s POV"Mamma, pappa?" I said as I entered their room. We came to the house where Johnny's mother is staying, seeing that the house back in Rome needs some repair, or rather a makeover, after what happened a few weeks ago.All of us were exhausted and took a few days off. Many of our men were injured, and some are dead. The Russians withdrew from the fight after Sergei gave them the order to stop. Lorenzo lost many men, and the others ran away, seeing that they were losing against our people and the Americans.Luckily, the Americans only had people injured. Mason got his fiancé back safely, and they will be heading back to the USA in a few days. Stefanie is a down-to-earth girl; she has long black hair and blue eyes. When I saw her and Mason together, I knew that they loved each other just by the way they acted whenever they were together. She has been kidnapped for six months and tortured every day, thinking no one will rescue her after Lorenzo told her Mason thinks
Chapter 63Alessia’s POVIt's been three weeks since I found out that I'm pregnant. Bella is the only one who knows I'm pregnant. I asked her not to tell anyone until I had told Johnny. Mason and Stefanie have already left, saying they need to take care of a few things back home. The last week, Johnny has been acting strangely; he always seems to not want to spend time with me, which is beginning to bug me. That's one of the reasons I haven't told him about the pregnancy yet. He would come to bed when I was already asleep and be gone before I woke up. Every time I text or call him, he says he is busy with some important meetings and that he will talk to me later. That's why I was surprised when he texted me this morning, telling me to go shopping with the girls and to treat myself to something beautiful to wear tonight because he wants to take me out.“Girls, I'm hungry and tired," I moaned as we went into the sixth shop for today."We will get something to eat after we finish shopping
Chapter 64 Johnny's POV The church was filled with our closest friends and family. I was standing at the altar talking to Ciro. "Are you ready to make her your wife?" he asked with a grin. "I have never been more ready." My mother walked up to me, "Your bride is nervous," she whispered. "I will talk to her," I said, walking away to find my bride. I knocked on her door when Camilla opened it. "Thank God you are here she's freaking out!" She said pulling me into the room leading me to the bathroom door and I can't help laughing at how stressed the girls look all because of my wife-to-be. "Alessia baby?" I knock on the door. "Johnny? What are you doing here?" She asked frantically when she heard my voice. "I'm here to talk to you. I was told you were freaking out." "I'm afraid you will leave me once I get fat," she sniffed, and I wish I could take her in my arms and tell her that she will never get fat in my eyes. "Baby you know that will never happen I love you for you, not f
Chapter 1Johnny’s POVI was driving home after a business deal went wrong. I'm pissed off and mad at the little fica {Cunt} who betrayed me. If there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s a rat. When I get my hands on him, he is going to wish he was dead. Just my luck, it started to rain, big, hard drops falling from the night sky. As I turned onto the next street, all the streetlights were off. Great, even better. The only light visible was my car's lights."Fanculo la mia vita"! {Fuck my life}. It started to rain heavier now that I couldn't see anything in front of me, so I pulled over, opened the window slightly and lit a cigarette. Could this night get any worse? I thought. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw a van pull into the alley. I slowly got out of my car to inspect who it was. I have a lot of enemies and maybe someone followed me. I started walking towards the alley where I saw the van pulled in when I heard someone scream."Nooo! Please someone help!" It sounded like a gi
Chapter 2Johnny's POVI don’t know why I took her to my home. I don’t even know her. All I know is I couldn’t just leave her there in the alley. I wonder why the Russians are after her? As soon as she wakes up I will find out why they want her. I decided to go to one of my clubs and sent Stefano a text. Walking back to my car I told my maid to watch over the girl and to let me know if anything happened.My life has been rough since the day I turned thirteen years old. My old man told me to become a man and that I would someday take over from him. By the time I took over the family business I had killed more people than most people change underwear in a day. I don’t trust anyone except a handful of people. My three best friends, Stefano my right-hand man and Samuele. They have known me since I was a little boy. We all grew up together since our families were friends. Kevin and Jake both have their own gang, but they aren't as powerful as mine. Alessandro is a billionaire who took over
Chapter 3Alessia's POVI groaned at the sharp pain that was piercing my head, ignoring it I opened my eyes, I was met with an unfamiliar sight.I was in a big room that had a walk-in closet, light brown walls and the bed I was in was a king-size with dark brown covers. At the end of the bed was a big dark brown chest. I sat up abruptly, making my head pulse and my vision blurry for a moment. I let myself have a moment to compose myself before I stand up to think of the men that tried to kidnap me last night. Then I remember a man who rescued me, killing those men. I have never seen him before. What if it was my parents that sent someone to take me back home? No, they won't spend money to hire someone to find me. I can only think of one person who would do that, Sergei Mikhas, the man that I was sold to.Now knowing it was Sergei's doing I laid back down and closed my eyes thinking how I was always going to be a caged animal, and there was nothing I could do about it. My four years of
Chapter 4Alessia's POVI wake up realizing it was almost night, standing up went to the kitchen and made me a sandwich and some coffee. I can't believe I have slept the whole day. Deciding what to do to keep myself busy I went back to my room. Only one thing comes to mind.I sit in front of my clean canvas, taking the palette in to my hands as my fingers start to move swiftly across the canvas. Painting was always a way to keep me calm, to paint or draw my feelings instead of speaking them and being judged for them.Since the day I was born I had no one, I never went to school, my mother told our maid to tutor me at home. She always told me she won't spend a cent of her money on a useless nobody. Our maid became more like a mother to me. Rosetta was diagnosed with stage IV inflammatory breast cancer when I was fourteen years old, so she stayed in bed most of the time. But somehow managed to tutor me.My parents never loved me, they made that clear right from the start. Rosetta could n
Chapter 5Johnny POVWe have been searching for the snitch the whole day, and we found little information. Walking around the office I saw my reflection and my hair was messed up from dragging my hands through them a thousand times. I turned around and flipped the table. "Fanculo"! I shouted with anger.I left in my car to go to the warehouse where all my shipment is. Walking in I found Stefano and Samuele already there. "Samuele, anything missing here?" I asked."Doesn't look like anything is gone, but we are busy counting the weapons just in case." I nod, "I think we must put men here to keep watch, they might try and raid the warehouse, and we must be ready for when that happens." Samuele nods, then proceeds to talk to our men. After taking care of business and making sure everything goes smoothly, I decided to visit Alessandro and Lisa. I rarely visit them these days, because of the shit that’s been going on in my life. I don’t want to get them involved. Getting into my car I dro

Chapter 61Alessia’s POVWe stayed in the office. No one spoke, and no one moved. We waited. This is it; this is what was supposed to happen, but we didn't think it would be this soon. We didn't plan for them to attack first. My gut feeling says Carter told them about our plans. Thinking about him makes my blood boil.If I find out he sold us out, I will be the one dealing with him!I can tell Viona is scared I know I am scared shitless. What if they find us?Will Johnny be in time to rescue us? I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned my head around to look at Viona."We are going to be okay." She tried to comfort me, but I could hear the fear in her voice. I knew she was trying to be brave.I smiled, squeezing her hand in return. "I know your brother won't let anything happen to us."That's when we heard the gunshots. This is it. I don't know how we are going to protect ourselves against these mafia men.We were holding on to each other now. I can only imagine all the bodies lying
Chapter 60Alessia’s POVThings were going quite smoothly the next few days after the Americans arrived, and everyone was settled in their rooms. I didn't think these men would get along, but they proved me wrong, and somehow I think Bella has something to do with it.She is a tough bitch and doesn't take shit from anyone. It's amazing to think that they are actually gang members, but once you are in their company, you can tell they are nice people. I never thought that I would get attached to them, but life has shown me that I can't judge a book by its cover. I never thought that people like them would be the ones who saved me from my so-called parents. Speaking of parents, I can't wait to see mine after all these years. Just thinking about them brings tears to my eyes. Who would have thought that my life would change this much?I haven't seen Johnny all day. He and the rest were busy in the office going over the plan that's going to end Lorenzo, Sergei, and his father in a few days.
Chapter 59Johnny’s POVI pressed my lips to Alessia's. Her lips were so sweet and addictive that I never wanted to stop kissing her. I poured all of my feelings into the kiss. I want her to know how much I love her. Gasping for breath, we separate from each other. I looked at her, smiling like I had just won the jackpot, and she was smiling at me, watching me. I wonder what she's thinking about.The thought of her always has me smiling. I can't believe that I'm head over heels in love with this amazing woman. I won't show it to others because my enemies will know she's my weakness, and I won't let them hurt her to get to me.I know that I used to be a player, but ever since I met Alessia, I couldn't hook up with someone else because Alessia was always on my mind and I wasn't able to focus on anything or anyone. She consumes my mind every second of the day.I can't believe that I opened up like that in front of Bella; it's something I would have never done, and I knew I had shocked Bel
Chapter 58Alessia’s POVIn all honesty, I had forgotten about Cindy. When Johnny and I walked downstairs, she was standing there staring at us, or more like glaring at me, and I knew she wanted me dead.Why does he have crazy friends like her? I ask myself as we walk to the kitchen."I don't think your friend likes me," I whispered to Johnny as I watched her.He kissed me and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to her."Cindy kept on staring at me as we passed her walking to the kitchen, making me feel uncomfortable, and something tells me this is just the beginning.Look, the lovebirds decided to finally leave the room," Luca said, smirking at Johnny, and then he winked at me. "Who would have thought that Johnny would ever be whipped by a girl?" Stefano also commented, and the rest nodded in agreement."I'm not whipped, you fucking idiot", Johnny said, glaring at them."His whipped dude," Luca continued, making fun of Johnny.“Oh, look who's talking; if I'm not mistaken, the two of you
Chapter 57Alessia’s POV"First we have to get information from someone in the inside. Anyone will do anything for money; if I need to pay a billion for information, then so be it. We won't be going into their house; instead, we are going to make them come out. We are going to use Alessia to draw them out, and when they are close enough, I'm going to blow them up. The others will come out, and I want snipers to take them out. Lorenzo and Sergei will probably be inside, trying to take Alessia's parents and my sister away. I want you to take every man out, then we will go in with the big guns," Johnny smirked, and I wonder what he's talking about."We need bombs, and a lot of them. Once we have information about the layout of the house, I want four teams to go inside while the other teams are distracting their men. This is going to be dangerous, but we have the Americans on our team." Johnny explained his plan to us."Lorenzo is a coward; he won't come to fight, but he will use his ho
Chapter 56Johnny’s POV"Is that your way of saying yes?" I asked her, hugging her back. I feel her nod in my neck."Yes," she said, and I feel my heart missing a beat. I can't believe she's mine. I have to admit, I was scared she would turn me down after what I did to her. Yes, I was stupid for acting the way I did, and it took some stupid prick to make me realize that I could lose her.I thought that if I continued this, she would get hurt if one of my enemies knew she was my weakness, but when I saw that prick looking at her with lust, it made my blood boil. I'm glad that I told her how I feel about her. Now she's mine, and the man who dares to touch her or even look at her will get his eyes or hands cut out. "We should get going," I said, and she nodded once again, not letting go of me. I smiled, knowing that she's probably as red as a tomato."Johnny?" She called out, lifting her head to look at me. I hummed in response."Promise me that you will never leave me, and if somethin
