Hey, guys! Let me know what you think! Also, I have already pointed out in the disclaimer of this book that I will update one chapter every day and I might take three to four days off per month. I need that time for my own health. I cannot manage more or else I would have posted more chapters. And, one more thing, I cannot put a whole book into one chapter, it's not fair saying that nothing happened in this chapter and all that. The chapters I post are usually more than three thousand words, I don't think I can make them any longer. I hope you guys understand. X O X O
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"So?" Evangeline asked in a low voice as we sat down around the table to get breakfast. The men were sitting in front of us but they were too busy talking about the Cosa Nostra to pay attention to our conversation. "How was he? Was he nice to you or do we have to beat him up?" Delilah asked in a low voice. "He didn't push you, did he? We all know he is a jerk," Evangeline added, putting her hand over mine as I stared at them confused out of my mind as to what to tell them. "We..." I gave my head a gentle shake, "We didn't..." I only said and they understood.All of their eyes went wide at first, their heads snapped in his direction before getting back to me. I don't know what was so funny but the next second they all burst into a fit of laughter. The men also turned their attention towards us, the Underboss raised an eyebrow as if asking me what had happened. "Please, tell me it was you who turned him down and I'm pretty sure it was you," Evangeline whispered.
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─She placed her hands over her hips and asked, "Where's Scott? He told me to be here tonight." Glenna too put her hand over her hips, "Who let you in?" She eyed Glenna as if they weren't on the same level. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out the card almost identical to the one the Underboss had used to get into the private elevator."Scott gave me the key. Now where is he?" she demanded placing the key back into her bag. I chewed on my bottom lip, "He isn't at home, but he will be in a few hours," I told her. This is his life. This is the way he lives. I should get used to it because I don't know how long I'll be here. Women will go in and out of this apartment day and night. I know because Chiara longed to be one of those women.The woman examined me up and down in a very condescending way, "And you are?" she asked. Not knowing what to say, I said, "I'm Allegra." "The new maid?" I shook my head but before I could say anything, Glenna spoke up, "His wi
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Don't you dare touch me with the same hands you've laid on another woman," I said. It's not that I was jealous or hurt about what had happened a few hours ago, I was just disgusted. I know he had already taken a shower after Cindy left but I just couldn't stomach his touch right after what he did. I glanced at him and noticed how his eyes had darkened, narrowing from the corners. He seemed angry, pissed off. I pursed my lips and turned my attention back to the view.I could feel him watching me, his scrutinizing gaze was burning holes into the side of my head. Suddenly, my insecurities hit me with full force. What was he looking at? He was already quite disgusted with my looks, was he trying to find more flaws to point out? I crossed my arms over my chest. "Allegra," he called my name, dark and low, "You have no right to act as a jealous wife after you had drinks with your husband's fuck buddy. What kind of wife does that?" he asked, as he took a step closer an
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Allegra, I'm giving you another chance—" Niko said and for some reason, it pissed me the fuck off. She was my responsibility as well as my wife. I promised to keep her safe, and I will do whatever it takes to fulfill that promise. Nobody messes with what's mine. Linus gave her to me to keep her safe not to fucking torture her. I was struggling to avert my eyes from her, but her trembling voice was piercing through my chest and making it damn near impossible. Deep down, I could feel that if I dared to glimpse at her and caught even a glimpse of a teardrop rolling down her cheek, I would snap in anger. And trust me, she wouldn't want to see that side of me."Scott..." she said in a shaky voice and something snapped into me.The sound of my name on her lips for the first time made my heart skip a beat. Usually, I was addressed as "Sir" or something formal, but hearing her say my name ignited a different emotion in me. My eyes snapped to her and I noticed the glistenin
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"You can't dress like that at night and expect me to not pounce on you..." his voice was almost above a whisper, his eyes going up and down my frame. I had asked Glenna to not bring me clothes that show off more skin and she hadn't, the clothes weren't so revealing but the nightdresses... this one was the most decent of the lot. I tugged at the hem of the dress to bring it a little down, "That's the most modest one..." I told him, "The rest, well, they are more revealing." His eyes forest green eyes darkened, narrowed at the edges, "Hm..." The air in the room turned thick with weird heated energy. He kept staring at me as if he was ready to forget all about the words he said to me. I made my way to my side and sat on the edge of the bed; my back facing him, "I really don't know what they were talking about. I ran away because Aldo was everything I didn't want. Silvio and Enrico took me away—"He cut me off mid-sentence, "Because they loved you?" I nodded, still
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─As my gaze met the man's, my voice trailed off into a stunned whisper, "Aldo..."His eyes widened before they trailed up and down my body. Suddenly his face closed off, cold and stern. Ray took off his hand from Aldo's chest when he was a face distance away from me. "Allegra..." he said, with a nod of his head. "It's Mrs. Mancini for you, Cerone. She's the wife of your boss, you address her with respect," Ray voiced, standing closely behind me. Aldo's lips pressed into a thin line, "My apologies, Mrs. Mancini." I acknowledged him with a simple nod, but deep down I felt nothing towards Aldo. I wasn't guilty of anything, and since the Underboss accepted me for who I am, why couldn't he? Perhaps, it was just another sign that Aldo and I were never meant to be together.As I stepped aside, I made my way into the restaurant, and to my surprise, Ray was tailing me closely. It felt strange having a bodyguard, but I guess it's something I'll have to adapt to sooner or la
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I stared at the dress laid out on the bed. Sparkly, blood red, and revealing, too revealing. It was a twist front ruched cutout bodycon dress or that's what was written on the card that was in this humongous box. The door opened and Glenna walked inside with a sweet smile. I had already taken a shower and my husband had ordered Glenna to make me look like a woman. He probably meant a woman he won't be ashamed of showing off to his friends and family. I don't think that's possible. Because even with this dress, those expensive heels and all that makeup. I was still Allegra Rossi—a wallflower with nonexistent curves. "Let's do your make-up first and then we'll do your hair," Glenna said. I silently went to sit in front of the vanity, knowing that there were far worse things that the men of the Cosa Nostra forced their women into instead of just revealing dresses. Glenna had pretty good makeup skills. She did my eyes first, making them appear like a cat. It kind o
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Hic! I didn't know what was going on, but suddenly my husband, for some bizarre, insane, and outlandish reason, looked like he had been carved by Zeus himself.As if I was looking at him for the first time, he laughed and I noticed how white and perfect his teeth are, how throaty and deep his laughing voice is, and how a beautiful vein protrudes out of his neck. He raised his hand that clutched the crystal tumbler and put it over his lips, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down with each sip, his hands were so strong, so manly, with perfectly neat and trimmed nails. The tattoos, Good Lord, the tattoos were just chef's kiss. The Roman numerals over his fingers and the skull on the back of his hand were nothing less than a work of art.As their slurred voices reached my ears, I gulped down the rest of my drink. Evangeline and Delilah asked me if I want to dance. I nodded eagerly, not really sure why I was so keen when I couldn't even dance. Marco Costello's girlfriend j

Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I often grapple with the truth about myself, an internal struggle that gnaws at my conscience.I'm a bad man, there's no doubt about it. I do fucked up shit every single day when I step out of our house. Some people would even call me an animal who only thinks of himself. But then, Allegra's words echo in my mind, her belief that I'm neither wholly good nor irredeemably bad. I'm somewhere in the middle. I navigate the murky waters, an enigma that shifts between the realms of darkness and light. I'm a creature of duality, treading a path that skirts the edges of both shadows and illumination.Her words, not mine. Only she can say such big words. Dr. Allegra Mancini—A really beautiful and intelligent woman. How the fuck did I get so lucky? But I've got to confess, it hasn't exactly been a stroll through the amusement park either. I mean, who knew that this whole "marriage thing" would require more effort than assembling a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle?Especially
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Say it again..." he said, looking down at me as I laid my head on his chest.We went at it like animals the whole damn night, couldn't get enough of each other. Even in the morning, we were still at it in the shower, water, and soap doing nothing to cool us off. Then I slipped into a satin nightdress, his muscular frame clad only in boxers. We just lay in bed, talking, laughing the aftermath of our wild night still making its presence known between my legs. I laughed, it was probably the tenth time he had asked me to repeat it, "I love you." He smiled again, staring up at the ceiling. One of his arms propped under his head and the other wrapped around me, "Fuck..." he mumbled under his breath as if I had said something completely unbelievable. "I never thought I'd ever fall in love with someone like you," I said, trailing my finger over his warm and smooth chest. He raised an eyebrow, something flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Someone like me?" I nodded, "Yes, s
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The stupid party was over, Chiara and her family had been dragged to the basement, and her father and brother kept asking about what they did wrong, I guess their daughter will tell them everything herself. I made my way over to Allegra who sat beside Alessia clutching my jacket, a bit shaken up by what had happened. I couldn't imagine being betrayed by your best friend like that, the one you fucking grew up with. I placed my hand behind her on the backrest of the chair and leaned over her, she looked at me with those soft honey-colored eyes, a faint smile gracing those lips that I've grown addicted to. "You're okay?" I asked, kissing the top of her head. She nodded, "I'm fine." "Good, let's go home." "What about Chiara?" "What about her?" "Are you going to kill her?" I shook my head even though the thought gave me satisfaction but she was a woman of the Cosa Nostra, daughter of a Capo, I couldn't touch her. I could only leave that part to her family. "No, bu
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─He placed a hand on the small of my back as we walked inside and the moment we entered, his laidback expression turned into a hard, vicious one. The way he glared at every other Outfit member made me uneasy, I don't know if this “peace” will last. I looked up at his face and he glanced at me, "What's wrong?" I asked. "I fucking hate their faces," he answered lowly. I smiled, shaking my head as we made our way to Nikolai and the rest. We sat around the table and on the other side was occupied by the Capones. My eyes met with Alessia and she visibly let out a sigh of relief at the sight of me. I managed to give her a small smile before turning to Silvio and that smile broadened because just by his side was Enrico grinning back at me. They were here, they were together in public with their fathers and they were happy. Nikolai, Salvatore, and Vincenzo were already engrossed in their conversation about their business and how it will be easier for their trades to be
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─ONE MONTH LATER──── ⋆⋆⋆⋆ ────I bit my lower lip as I curled the last remaining strand of my hair. For the first time, I had gotten ready all by myself without anyone's assistance and I could say I looked like the perfect Mrs. Mancini. I wore a black silk satin dress that had a cowl neckline, and a lace-up back with a side slit, and paired it with black heels. A sharp sting on my butt cheek caused me to spin around, narrow my eyes, and rub the sore spot. Scott glared at me, taking in my appearance from head to toe, he was mad about not having sex for a long time. This morning the doctor gave him the green light to have sex but I refused, we simply did not have time for that. And now he's mad at me for not giving in. He had been asking me to sit on his face for a month now and I'm sure once we go down that road, he won't be satisfied with a single round. He only wore a pair of black boxer briefs, and his hair was still wet from our shower. "What?" I asked, thro
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─For a moment, time seemed to stand still as I looked up at his face and he smiled down at me. Busted-up lips, swollen cheeks, broken nose, black eyes but still he managed to take my breath away. The morning light fell on his face, he glowed differently today, so injured and still looking like a handsome devil with those beautiful green eyes. "Good morning..." I answered, trying to get off the bed but he held me back again, "Scott, you're injured, stop it and the doctors will be here any time now. Let go," I said, successfully pulling myself out. He had an annoying smug smile on his face as he watched me as if he had the secrets of the universe up his sleeve. I tucked my hair behind my ears from both sides, "What?" I asked, feeling the burn of his intense gaze. He gave his head a gentle shake, his eyes stuck to me, "Nothing... you're beautiful," he said in a low voice, and good Lord, it did something to me, making every nerve ending in my body tremble. I shyly
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Vito drove us back to the hospital. I never thought that I'd feel this lighter, this free after ending a relationship with Luna. I don't know how or why I kept holding onto her for so long. The ultimate revenge against such a parent is to break free, persevere, and blossom into the most authentic and remarkable version of myself.Luna had problems. I can't say that she had been treated fairly by my father, he had hurt her really badly. He had called out another woman's name while he was with her but she stayed. It was on her and him not on me. She made me her outlet for the emotional abuse she received from my father. I never thought I'd be able to do it, you know, cut all ties with her, leave her in the past, and get myself out of this abusive relationship but somehow I did it. I don't know if he knows that or not but he made me stronger. He makes me feel confident and bold, he makes me want to do things that I had never imagined I'd ever do. Vito parked the car
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Ray's face went through a whirlwind of emotions as we crossed paths outside the hospital: surprise, followed by a wave of relief. Flashing a brief, reassuring smile, I quickly made my way down the hallway, hopped into the elevator, and ascended eagerly to find out how he was doing. When I got there, he was inside with the doctors. No one was allowed to enter so we waited outside. Neither Nikolai nor Lorenzo opted for respite, not even for a fleeting moment. I sat on a waiting chair that was outside the room and Ray sat beside me, "I heard what you did... I can't believe you saved him. How did you do it?" I turned to look at him and gave my head a gentle shake, "I had help." Ray raked a hand through his hair, "Everyone is talking about how you practically got all the men out of their territory unscathed," his eyes showed admiration and respect.I managed to give him a feeble smile, "As I said, I had help..." If it wasn't for Silvio Capone, things might have gone
