Grace stormed out of the base and straight to the roadside to find a taxi that would take her home. She had spent the past few days with Dante at the base, but it was time to go home. He seemed to detest her presence today, so why stay back?“That punk!" She muttered under her breath as she flagged down a taxi.The taxi driver refused to stop the car, leaving her even more frustrated.She then decided to walk home, taking a mental note to buy a car for herself.She already had enough of all these taxi drivers.Grace kept mumbling incoherent words as she strolled down the streets. Thankfully, the train station wasn't far from the base.She would get there in no time.The time was already 11pm.While walking, she didn't notice the van coming from behind her. Well, even if she did, she wouldn't even know that the van was coming after her.Soon, she noticed the few moments, also casting wary glances at the few figures who passed by on the street, barely noticing the van creeping up from b
“Come with me," Alessia wasn't smiling as she reached out to grab Grace's hand, pulling her towards the staircase. Salvatore stood there watching their backs as they both disappeared upstairs.He shook his head, walking over to the sofa and plopping down on it. “Drama," he muttered.In Alessia's bedroom, she pushed Grace towards the soft mattress and sat beside her.“Alessia, what's the matter?" Grace asked. “How come you're here when I saw that you were kidnapped? I also knew that Ezekiel asked his men to keep you hostage, did Salvatore save you?" Alessia frowned when she heard the name, Ezekiel. “What do you mean? Who is Ezekiel?" She questioned Grace, her brow coming up.Grace, realizing what she just said, swallowed her saliva and looked away.“Grace!” Alessia snapped, a frown settling on her face.Grace flinched briefly, but she decided to tell her the truth. “It's Marco's father. He had you abducted." Grace informed her.Alessia froze in her tracks. “What? Why?" “Because he
Alessia's eyes fluttered open the moment the front door was pushed open. Having lived with her uncle for so many years, she already knew it was him coming into the house.She yawned, also stretching out some limbs as she got down from the old-looking bed.She walked out of the room and just as she expected, her uncle was already seated on the couch."Welcome back," she muttered, rubbing her eyes sleepily.Simone Rizzo stared at his little niece who had grown into a woman overnight.Suddenly, he felt his lower region twitch as he watched her perfect long fair legs that stretched on for miles.Subconsciously, he licked his lower lips that suddenly ran dry on seeing her sexiness in her red shorts and black top."What have you been doing, kiddo?" He finally voiced out, masking the lust in his eyes with a blinding smile.Alessia grinned and shook her head."Sleeping as usual, I have to get back to work soon." She replied with a yawn.Simone Rizzo nodded in understanding and smiled again."
Alessia with no destination in mind, decided to head to the club where Grace worked. At this point, she needed all the help she could get. Her nanny job barely gave her enough money to even think of saving.The only person who could lend her a hand right now was Grace. Without a phone, the only choice was to pay her a visit to her workplace. She found herself standing in front of the massive building, "Devil's Den," its name etched boldly as the bright lights bathed the area.She dragged in deep ragged breaths from running a lot and made her way into the place. Her clothes were in order, but she was barefooted and her red hair was messy. The guards at the entrance stared at her for a brief second as she walked past them into the place.They didn't say or do anything to stop her. The place was open to anyone who wanted their souls tainted. If someone chooses Hell instead of Heaven, not even God would intervene as he would just sit still while watching the poor deluded soul. So, who we
The stranger had a smirk on his face as he watched the brave little lady who asked for his audience. Normally, he wasn't a fucker, but she was alluring. Her body, her face, and of course, the red hair.His father always told him that the most dangerous women in the world were those with red hair, pale skin, and ocean-blue eyes. Just like a siren. The lady before him was the typical example of the description.She had the bluest eyes he had ever seen and her red hair gave her a witty demeanor. Her pale skin, banging body, and shamelessness were the very attributes of danger. But for some reason, he felt this little lady could not do anything even if she wanted to.There were warning signs for him to reject her offer, but she was so damn beautiful, and spirit be damned if he let any other man do what she was specifically asking him to do. He might as well chop the hands and dick of whoever the unfortunate person would be.So without any more negative thoughts, he took her to the Devil's
The guards at the entrance bowed the moment they saw him walk towards the huge double doors.With a stoic expression, he marched forward into the room once they pushed the door open.The hall where the meeting was to be held was buzzing with noises of his angry relatives who saw his lateness as an offense to their personality. But the moment the doors were pushed open and he strutted in, the noises seized at once.There was no way around it, they all feared him. He might have that pretty face and that annoying smile all the time, but they knew the person behind that facade would even kill a person while smiling."You're late, Marco!" His uncle finally mustered up the courage to let his frustration out.Marco glanced in his direction and raised a brow, "Am I?"The man suddenly felt his throat run dry as he couldn't find the right words to reply to that question.Marco ignored the curious glances being thrown at him and finally found his seat at the head of the table. His father, Matteo
Dante hurriedly followed Marco as he walked out of the main mansion.Just then, Francesco called out to him. Marco wanted to ignore him, but Dante gestured for him to behave."What is it?" He asked Francesco the moment their eyes met.Francesco with a stoic expression stood before Marco with no space in between them.The De Luca Family were all known for their height and eye color.Everyone had the gray eye color, aside from the snake-eyed Twins of course.Also, they were known to be extremely tall, including the women."In a month's time, when you fail to prove yourself to everyone, I will personally take you down." He threatened without fear.The worst thing Marco hated was threatening and that was the line Francesco crossed.Just when Francesco turned to leave, Marco called out to him this time."The next time you threaten me this way, I won't regard your status in this family and I'll make your son pay with his life." The threat didn't sound like a threat, but it was enough to sen
Alessia was unable to find Grace when she arrived at the club after escaping from Marco's suite. Knowing that Simone might be out there searching for her, she opted to head to the only place where the less privileged would always be accepted; Santa Maria Cattolica. The lord was always said to never forsake anyone, so she hoped he would never forsake her in this time of trouble. When she arrived at the entrance of the huge building, she breathed in and out before stepping in.There were workers already cleaning the sanctuary. A sister was standing not so far from the main gates as she spoke to someone. She knew the workers were giving her the side-eye as she passed. She could totally tell what they were thinking. In her black top and red shorts, Even the Lord wouldn't crack a smile at the outfit.Thankfully, the sister didn't ask her to leave when their eyes met. She just dismissed the man she was talking to, then turned to Alessia with a small smile."Hello, ma'am." Alessia hurr
“Come with me," Alessia wasn't smiling as she reached out to grab Grace's hand, pulling her towards the staircase. Salvatore stood there watching their backs as they both disappeared upstairs.He shook his head, walking over to the sofa and plopping down on it. “Drama," he muttered.In Alessia's bedroom, she pushed Grace towards the soft mattress and sat beside her.“Alessia, what's the matter?" Grace asked. “How come you're here when I saw that you were kidnapped? I also knew that Ezekiel asked his men to keep you hostage, did Salvatore save you?" Alessia frowned when she heard the name, Ezekiel. “What do you mean? Who is Ezekiel?" She questioned Grace, her brow coming up.Grace, realizing what she just said, swallowed her saliva and looked away.“Grace!” Alessia snapped, a frown settling on her face.Grace flinched briefly, but she decided to tell her the truth. “It's Marco's father.

Dante returned to the base after Ezekiel had ordered him to. He felt anger and hatred for those evil twins build up in him, and the fact that Ezekiel did nothing in return made his blood boil even more.How could he let those brats arrest his son?Those men were heartless and would never hesitate to kill Marco if given the chance.When Dante's car pulled up before the mansion, to his surprise, he saw just 6 guards left. The 6 of them stood before Grace, telling her a few things that he couldn't decipher since he was in the car.He got down immediately and made his way towards them.“You guys," he pointed at them, moving to stand by Grace's side. “Where are the others?" There used to be at least 100 guards in the premises, but only the 6 of them were left.One of them came forward to explain the situation.“Boss, after you and Boss Marco left for the main mansion, some guards came over to inform us after a while that Boss Marco wasn't the clan head anymore, and we had to leave him. The
The sun finally went down the horizon, the sky darkened as well. Marco got dressed in a black suit, unlike before when he would settle for black pants and black jackets.Since he was going to give up his position tonight, he should at least do it in style. He couldn't believe this day would ever come, the day he would give up fighting for his right. Alessia made him realize that all these weren't what keeps a person happy, if anything, he had been risking his life to keep the clan safe. It wasn't bad to finally push the responsibility to someone else. He sprayed his favorite cologne, one he remembered that Alessia loved dearly.It gave him the confidence he needed.The thought of Alessia made Marco's heart squeeze in pain. He was so worried about her, especially the gang that took her. He had to do whatever it took to bring her back to him. Thankfully, Gaia died.Alessia was the only woman he wanted and would want to be with forever and ever. The only woman he wanted to call his wif
Grace and Dante arrived at Marco's mansion after they had visited Gaia's house to offer condolence to the Salvadors.The moment the car halted before the mansion’s entrance, Grace pushed the door open and got out.Dante color tell she was still angered by the fact that Marco married Gaia.Honestly, he was too. Even the universe was against this union that was why Gaia died. Dante thought.He hurried tossed the car keys to the guard at the entrance, then rushed into the house to find Grace. With the amount of anger building up in her, he wouldn't be surprised if she ended up beating Marco to a pulp.Marco keeping the true reasons behind his sudden wedding decision had also angered Dante. He couldn't believe that after everything the both of them had gone through together, Marco didn't trust him enough to tell him the truth.Thank goodness Gaia died.“Ok, that was harsher." Dante muttered when that annoying thought crossed his mind. Well, he wasn't kidding, he really was happy that she
“What?” Salvatore froze in place when he heard her confession. Did he hear that right? She was pregnant for Marco? The tears Alessia had been holding back finally came crashing down, pouring down her face like a water fall. “Yes, I'm pregnant for him.” She confirmed and shut her eyes. And she didn't regret it one bit.Salvatore cursed and ran a hand through his hair. “Now that's cheap of you.” He muttered angrily. Just like Alessia, who would say things to hurt people when she was mad, the same goes for her twin. He insulted her without knowing because he was angry.Alessia felt his hurtful words sink into her mind and she bit her lower lip. Was it that bad to get pregnant for a man she once loved. And come to think of it, she had recently lost her pregnancy, how come she got pregnant again so fast?“Salvatore, it's not willingly_" “But you still hot pregnant. How could you have slept with your captor? Or wait, did he rape you? Holy shit! I'll kill that cow!" Salvatore snapped, hi
The realization that her blood brother was the very reason Marco was going through a tough time, left Alessia speechless. She stared at Salvatore, her eyes cold as iced. “You… You're Double S?” She asked him, her lips trembling. Salvatore nodded with a small smile, he clearly didn't understand what was happening, neither did he see the anger in her eyes. But on a second thought, Alessia didn't see a reason to be mad at him. Marco betrayed her after all, it proved he wasn't one to be trusted. TRUST MARCO DE LUCA AT YOUR OWN RISK. Marcel sighed as he rose from his chair, the tension in the room undeniable. "I have to attend to some guests in the study," he muttered, casting a glance at Alessia and Salvatore. "You two… behave yourselves, please."With a firm nod and a final look at his children, Marcel walked out of the room, the door clicking shut behind him. The silence that followed was thick, almost oppressive.Alessia turned to face Salvatore, her eyes cold as she crossed her ar
Days passed, but Alessia never stopped thinking of Marco and his betrayal. She couldn't believe she fell for a jerk like him. How dare he put her in a family way and settle for another woman? How dare he marry Gaia of all people? He deceived her. He used her and left her to her fate. She hated him for it, everything. She vowed to pay him back in the same coins he paid her in. That was her promise. Just then, a knock sounded at the door, shaking Alessia from her thoughts. She wiped at her tear-streaked cheeks, straightening herself in bed, when the door creaked open, and a maid hesitantly stepped inside.“The Boss is asking for you,” the maid said quietly. “He wants you to join him for breakfast.”Alessia let out a shaky breath. She wasn’t ready to face her father, not after everything that was happening. The memories of Marco, the pressure of her family’s name, and the recent discovery about Salvatore as not just her brother but her twin, still lingered heavily on her mind. But she
“Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Marco De Luca." Ezekiel and Enrico laughed as they congratulated their children with smiles.The others, family members, all gathered to congratulate them. They were extremely happy, especially Gaia who wouldn't stop smiling.“You flatter me father in law." Gaia joked as she batted her lashes at Ezekiel. The both men bursted out laughing. “Father in law sounds wonderful coming from you." Ezekiel was happy, finally things had fallen into place. He knew he made the right decision by threatening Marco anf kidnapping that woman of his.But the only problem now was that the woman had escaped. If Marco found out, he would have straight up stopped the wedding and eventually throw a fit.Thankfully, the wedding was over.Marco kept his face unreadable as the people before him kept blabbering. He would rather be anywhere else but here.Marriage? To Gaia? What a joke. He didn't see this as a real wedding. This was all a joke! One cruel joke!Ezekiel watched the sce
