CHAPTER TWO SEVEN Truth
Alessia focused her head on her folded hands. After a brief conversation with Michael, Alessia was a little surprised. The reason is, Alessia knows her very stubborn father well.
Michael wouldn't have said such a thing if it weren't for him deliberately succumbing to her. Alessia snorted.
Back down?
The question is... Why all of a sudden? Hadn't Zavier tricked him into their business game? Then why did Michael relent? Admit defeat?
"Are you tired, Ms. Alessia?"
Logan's exclamation immediately made Alessia lift her face and found Logan smiling sweetly in front of her desk. The man's sentiment was still the same, annoying according to him.
Alessia straightened her body then shook her head, looking disinterested. "No. Also, there's no need to be formal with me." said Alessia making Logan nod. In fact, even though Ales
CHAPTER 28~ Trust me."I've agreed on that a long time ago."Alby nodded in understanding. Watching Alessia closely as the woman spoke. After an accidental meeting with Rey who had explained Alessia's position, finally Alessia couldn't help but tell everything to Alby. The story starts from Alessia's background and the matchmaking of the elders, to a ridiculous deal with her father Michael. Alessia feels relieved..There was a comfortable feeling when Alessia could honestly admit who she was and no longer had to hide anything. Alby already knows his biggest secret as well as knowing that he has enemies. Alessia thought that maybe Alby was the right person to help her to the end, considering that the man already knew the whole story of her life. Well, although not completely all the truth.Alessia raised an eyebrow when her blue bead met Alby's. And the new Alessia. realized that he hadn't even said a
CHAPTER 29~ Angry girlAlby looked at Elena flatly. Yesterday when he got a call about Elena who had a case with the cosmetics company she was in, Alby forced Elena to return to New York.After lunch Alby then visited Elena when she arrived in New York two hours ago."I just got here, Al. Why do you keep looking at me like that?" Elena complained with a pitiful face. Of course. After his long journey from France to New York his joints were tired. And when he was here Alby immediately judged him with his flat gaze? Oh, that's right!Alby looked at Elena bored, "How many times have you canceled your work contract and had to pay double your salary? It's not just once, twice, El.you can be responsible for your own work?" Alby scolded made Elenapursed lips.Indeed, from the beginning his decision to choose to enter the entertainment industry
CHAPTER 30~bastard boyAlby looked at Jean seriously. This morning Jean gave data about Elena when Alby arrived at the Stevano international building. When Alby asked for Elena's data all night, which had made it difficult for Jean, it was finally over today.Alby took the document that Jean gave him and started reading it. The data was complete as Alby wanted. It contained several activities that Elena had done about the woman's daily life. Alby continued to read because until the middle of the document everything was still fine. Nothing is wrong."Bellenzo?" Alby muttered reading the cooperation contract that Elena had canceled. "CompanyDe Hill's?"“I heard in the last two months the CEO of Hill corporate has taken overcompany, sir."Alby intertwined his fingers, "De Hill here is Vegan? Drug bandits on the black market?"
CHAPTER 31 — Feast and explanationAlby's metallic black limousine entered the courtyard of the Stefano residence. Rows of luxury cars lined up neatly almost filled the parking lot. Alessia was stunned for a moment when she saw that."Is every year always crowded like this, By?" Alessia asked without looking back.Alby glanced at Alessia, "Not really. Probably because it's Grandma's last partywant, Stefano must have invited a lot of old relationships."Alessia nodded as if she understood. After their car stopped, then Alessia realized they got off right at the entrance. Haven't had time to ask Alby before he got out when Jean opened the passenger door. Alby reached out to Alessia -helping her down. Alessia accepted it and got out of the car and walked side by side with Alby beside her."Well, we're the center of attention here again. It sucks." Alessia
CHAPTER 32-I caught youAfter the event, they gathered in Stevano's family room because the invited guests had started to leave the mansion a few minutes ago. Alessia actually wanted to get out of here too, but she couldn't help it when Clara asked her to stay the night. Not wanting to disappoint her on her birthday, Alessia finally agreed to stay at the Stefano residence.They were talking to Alby's friends who had just arrived. Alessia recognized two of the three people who had come. Logan approached him. "I barelyget to know you, Ms. Alessia. "He greeted.Alessia smiled a little, "I'm almost tired of saying this. No need to be formal with me, remember? And yes, thank you."Logan chuckled, "You're going to stay, too?"Alessia raised one eyebrow. "What do you mean by too'?""We will definitely stay, Ale."Alessia na
CHAPTER 33~sorryAlessia glared at Alby who only grimaced at the sight. When Alessia managed to separate herself, the woman then beat Alby from grabbing the man to giving him several kicks. Actually Alessia wasn't satisfied with beating Alby yet, Shevana and Alby's other friends stopped her.Alessia sighed again. I don't know how many times she had repeated that,it seems that Alessia's emotions are difficult to stabilize considering that Alby made Alessia lose her face in front of many people."I apologize to Alessia, Al. You embarrassed her." said Shevana opening uptalks. They all gathered in the family room. The atmosphere seemed once seemed twice as tense as the meeting. Alessia's hostile gaze was still there, staringAlby with annoyance still swelling. Rasnay, won't be satisfied with justjust beat up the guy.I
CHAPTER 34~Why should it be her?Alessia woke up quickly when she realized that she had been asleep for half a full day in Alby's comfortable bed. He yawned and looked around. Blank. Alby hasn't come back until now.Alessia entered the elevator that would take her down. His eyes roamed the room when he found no one after reaching downstairs. Alessia took the initiative to go to the back garden, and sure enough there she saw Shevana and Clara talking while arranging flowers."Have you seen Alby, Mom?" asked Alessia joining them.They turned simultaneously to hear Alessia's voice. Shevana asked him to sit downwhile Clara was still busy nagging. "That kid left two hours ago. I asked him to wait for you but he didn'tsaid for you to stay here while you are still comfortable in your sleep."Alessia grimaced guiltily. Noticing the change in Al
BAB 35~ Because you are stubbornThe black limousin car crossed the crowded streets of New York City. After hearing some facts that were enough to make her uneasy, Alessia then returned home to make sure whether Alby also knew about Elena's case or not.But considering how close they were, Alby was sure to know. AndAlessia even remembered that Elena was also at the Stevano mansion but the girl didn't want to show her face during the party and even after. Alessia looked out the window. Watching the passing vehicleswith a sour face. Because to be honest… The fact about Elena subconsciously weighed on him. It's like Alessia has to take responsibility when she didn't do anything.Why? Why should he? Why not just other people who are clearly nobody? Why?Alessia jerked backwards when suddenly the car carrying her moved slightlylouder
