Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The weight of despair clouded my mind as I contemplated how to mend the broken pieces, how to mend myself. But every solution seemed futile as the memory of him cheating replayed in my thoughts. A wave of nausea washed over me. The sun was still high in the sky as I reluctantly settled into bed. The emptiness without Scott's presence made the room feel vast and overwhelming. A gaping hole on the mattress served as a constant reminder of his absence.As I lay there, the sun slowly disappeared beneath the horizon. My nose became congested, and I couldn't control the flow of my tears. The idea of divorce constantly tormented me, making me wish to escape from my own body.With a gentle knock, the door creaked open, giving way to Alessia timidly peeking inside. Drained of all energy to argue or complain, I sluggishly sat up, hugging myself tightly, and observed her every move as she cautiously entered the room.My swollen eyes were enough for her to know how hard I had b
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─My eyes were fixated on the sprawled-out blueprint of their extravagant Lincoln Park estate. Within the East Wing, a trifecta of bedrooms awaited, each a potential cage for Allegra. It was fucking imperative that I deciphered her exact location. My priority was to be by her side, shielding her from harm, before addressing any other matters that lay ahead."Whatever you're thinking... Don't," Niko's stern voice filled my ears. "How long will it take?" I asked. "Not long..." Alessandro stormed into the room, his laptop in hand, forcefully slamming the door behind him while venting his frustration. "Armando has been caught," he declared, provoking an intense surge of anger within me. In my fury, I struck the wooden table with such force that it shattered, leaving a gaping hole in its wake. "Motherfucker!" I shouted, ripping the map off the table and flinging it at the wall, "I have had enough of this shit!" "Calm down, Scott!" "Don't tell me to fucking calm down, I
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The moment the beard came off and the tattoos on his forearms became visible, my heart raced. I had committed every intricate detail of those tattoos to memory, and I would be able to recognize them anywhere. A surge of relief flooded through me, accompanied by a sudden rush of warmth, coursing through my veins.I slowly put the lampshade down, my eyes gleaming. It took everything in me to not run to him and throw myself into his arms. "Scott..." His presence alone had the power to mend the broken pieces of my heart. He looked back at the door and then at me, "I only have five minutes to talk to you, to explain everything to you because they're going to break down this door any second now. I just want you to listen to me..." I shook my head, "No, I—""No, you keep your mouth shut and you fucking listen to me, alright! I didn't cheat on you with Cindy or with anyone else. I didn't even touch another woman, Allegra, and I know that you think I'm some kind of man-s
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"You think you can endure it forever, Mancini? Well, think again. We'll make sure you crack under the weight of your own arrogance," Vincenzo growled, his chest heaving as he had unleashed every ounce of pent-up rage onto me.I grinned back at him, they had me suspended from a wall, and my arms were stretched to the maximum, strapped to the wall behind me and so were my legs. They had fucking knocked me out, brought me here to this cell, and stripped me of all the things that were on my body. Right now, I was wearing only pants. Fucking hell, they had taken the vial of poison too. "As I said before, I don't have a fucking breaking point. Try all you want, Vincenzo," I answered, trying to keep my head upright. I had a few broken ribs and countless cuts on my body. All of my nails were ripped off with a plier, fucking excruciating but they'd have to kill me before getting anything out of me. I'd never break my vow, I'd never betray the Cosa Nostra. Nikolai Costello wil
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Silvio thrust a massive, daunting brown jacket towards me, along with a mask and a cap, his voice dripping with urgency, "Put these on."Without a moment's hesitation, I donned the jacket, hastily throwing it over my attire, while placing the cap on my head. I proceeded to conceal my face beneath a pitch-black mask, leaving only my eyes exposed to the world.My hand was forcefully grabbed by Silvio, his grip tightening as he nodded at me. I had no choice but to nod back, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn't believe it was already three in the morning when I glanced at the clock. Alessia had long gone to bed, leaving me and Silvio as he escorted me out of the estate.As we made our way outside, the guards on patrol straightened up upon seeing Silvio, their eyes narrowing in suspicion as they laid their gaze on me. Anger welled up inside me, but I pushed it aside, knowing I had to remain focused. Silvio ignored them, his attention unwavering as he led us toward on
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"Silvio, we have to reach Nikolai before anyone else!" I exclaimed, my gaze fixed on the alarming amount of blood Scott was losing.In frustration, Silvio slammed his hand onto the steering wheel. "Damn it, Allegra! It's not as simple as you think!" he shouted."Why not?!" I demanded, my voice filled with frustration.Silvio's face twisted with anger. "I would be a disloyal betrayer! I can't betray the Outfit like this. My father might have accepted my sexuality, but mark my words, he will never forgive me for this," he warned, as he made a sharp and decisive turn.Blood oozed from his stomach, and I applied firm pressure to the wound, determined to halt the crimson flow as Scott was starting to turn pale, "Just because you can't betray the Outfit doesn't mean I can't either. I have no allegiance to the Chicago Outfit, my loyalty lies with the Cosa Nostra, and it always will."He glanced at me through the rearview mirror, "What are you suggesting?" As I glanced down
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
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

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
