CHAPTER SEVEN I Got you
"Finally you're back," Keira called out as soon as Alessia entered the living room. Then, all eyes were on him.
Alessia just flashed a smile without saying anything. All of this happened so suddenly that Alessia couldn't digest it properly. Bad morning.
Arabella took one step forward. He reached forward and flicked Alessia's forehead.
"You did it, Ale. You managed to get us all frantically looking for you!" he growled.
Alessia winced in pain. His blue eyes glared at Arabella with furrowed brows. "I
just got home and you've been torturing me?" he rubbed his forehead. "Babe, things don't
as easy as you think."
"What are we thinking?" Velove's answer made Alessia roll her eyes. "We all know how to take care of ourselves. You don't remember? Since you were a child, does that still make you doubt me
CHAPTER EIGHT NegotiationAlby walked with long strides down the office corridor. His aura of authority was very clearly emanated from the line of his firm face. Strong and charming. Several employees bowed respectfully as Alby passed him. While Alby only responded with a short nod. Without words."How was the development I asked to investigate?"Jean who was walking behind Alby was silent. "Still the same. It's hard to even dig up about his family.""I told you three days. You know what that means?""Excuse me, sir. But Miss is not an ordinary person. The smallest thing about her is only a photo and her graduation certificate. We are having a hard time identifying her.""Ck! He really is, yes ...."Alby entered his study just as Jean opened the door, walking gracefully to his chair."Well, have you prepared what I as
CHAPTER NINE ~ Knick-knackA few days later...Alessia busied herself with the piles of bundles she had already stacked forget Alby's autograph. During the almost three days she was the man's secretary, Alessia was really busy with various things that the old secretary had left behind and it was quite a hassle for her. Luckily Alby was a little understanding not to bother him, even if it was only for two days. Because sinceyesterday Alby had been bothering him, starting from arguing over small things, getting him into a fight tobringing up other useless stuff.Very childish."Miss Alessia, Mr. Stevano asked you to wait for him at the basemant."Alessia raised her head as soon as Jean's voice was heard. The man gave a crooked smile, bowing respectfully to him. This is something that Alessia has often complained abou
CHAPTER TEN ScandalStartling! Albyazka Stevano was caught on camera kissing a woman, who seemed to be the lover he had been hiding for so long.Shocking news comes from the international Stevano heir who is at the same time a rebuttalfor his disinterest in women.Reported by florenzie media, Albyazka Stevano was seen kissing a woman who was allegedly a lover who had been hidden for so long. As is known, the public has been made to wonder about the truth that says he is gay. But this afternoon, one of the Paparazi caught him with a woman. A portrait of himself with his lover as well as answering incorrect opinions that are confusing among the public.After a few weeks, Stevano became a trending topic about the rapid growth of the S. Evael center which recently made him a trillionaire man by the magazine- Bedebah! Alessia cursed in her heart when she saw her self-portrait in the
CHAPTER 11~ Fierce Secretary?Stevano mansion, NYC, USA | 08:41 AMIn a room Alby was watching Alessia who was now curled up under the blanket. The woman wasn't bothered at all even though Alby had repeatedly teased her. Alby's amused smile filled his face, a smile he couldn't understand.Why did watching people sleep suddenly become so much fun?From some information that Alby read, Alessia is the queen of sleep. Before this he could hardly believe that the data was true but when he saw it with his own eyes, now Alby confirmed the statement. He said, as long as it is not exposed to light and is in an open room or is in noise, during that time Alessia will feel at home and sleep like the dead. So quiet and peaceful.However, all of that could be reversed if he woke up by being disturbed. He said again, Alessia could change like a lioness. Angry is not clear from waking up to goin
CHAPTER 12 ~ Why?Still being discussed, the lover of the Stevano family's first son turned out to be his own secretary. In addition to her charming face and intelligence, Alessia Mikhayla's name has also become a hot topic of discussion regarding her unknown status. There aren't many articles about him or his private life! Alessia turned off the radio in the car when the news about her was still broadcast and became the public spotlight. Not to mention that her name, which is also known by many people, makes Alessia's space to move increasingly thin.In the past, people who never paid attention to him suddenly became more attentive. Searching, searching for long searches and even openly gossiping about him. This kind of life was not what Alessia wanted. He didn't like being the center of attention but now everyone was getting more and more interested in the damn news.Alessia clenched her hands tightly. Damn Stefano! If
Chapter 13~I care you"Say,"Alby's exclamation then made Jean stare at him for a moment. "The director of the Lau group appointed Ms. Alessia to handle the design of the collaborative project in Barcelona, sir."Alby instantly lifted his face, raising one eyebrow. "Alessia?" he asked for sure. Jean nodded curtly. "Mr. Zavier Lau himself asked for this, sir."Zavier lau...Alby gave a meaningful smile but chose not to comment. "How aboutMichael Lau?""He hasn't said anything so far. Most likely Mr. Michael agrees because as we already know Mr. Zavier hasn't completely escaped his father's watch. He might have spoken up if he didn't agree."That is true. They had been working together for more than five years and during that time Alby had gotten to know them well. Michael wouldn't hesitate to reject Zavier's proposa
CHAPTER 14~The intruderThe next day...Alessia moved lazily on her Queen size bed, groping for the cellphone which had not stopped ringing. Unlucky! It's his day off, who's bothering him this morning?Alessia's eyes narrowed as her phone's screen lit up, the soft light hitting her face. He blinked slowly, yawning lazily.Emily is calling...."Morning, beautiful doctor." Greet Alessia as soon as the call is connected. Rolling his body to the side as he pulled back the blanket with his eyes closed.The beauty of a holiday is when you can wake up in the afternoon. That's a great favor for Alessia who is already famous for her sleeping queen titleThere was an amused snort at the end before Emily's voice answered. "Noon, Ale. You don't see what time it is now, huh?" he asked in a humorous tone.Alessia opened her eyes la
CHAPTER 15~Only have one woman"But...."Alessia silenced him."Are you mad again?"There is no answer. Furious with Alessia's continued silence, then Alby moved down and joined Alessia on the fur carpet. Sitting closer to the side of Alessia who is now wearing nail polish. Seemed more still and calm, as if he thought Alby wasn't there.Ever since Alby said something that made Alessia stay in the bathroom for almost two hours, once Alessia came out until now she still kept her quiet. Ignoring Alby's ramblings even, Alessia just shifted sitting when Alby teased her. Without words. No debate, no chatter like before.Seeing Alessia turn her back to him, then Alby wrapped his arms around Alessia's waist, locking her from going anywhere while pressing Alessia's legs, locking her movement. Wrong move. Because Alby's foot nudged his nail polish until it spilled on t
CHAPTER 55~EpilogueAlessia thought, trying to be okay without involving Alby in her life would feel the same as before meeting the man. But in fact it's different, every day Alessia feels more and more longing every time she remembers Alby's face, her annoying attitude even with all the stories of their often quarreling. Alessia missed him, so much.Alessia smiled silently. Again just by remembering Alby. Past memories seemed to swirl in his mind. Making him more trapped with feelings of longing that have not been conveyed. Alessia hated this feeling, a feeling where she had to restrain herself from succumbing to her ego.For God's sake.. Alessia wanted to hit Alby's head hard. How dare heleaving himself on vacation alone didn't even contact him at all.Actually Alby really loves her like that guy said or he doeshaving fun with another woman, maybe?
CHAPTER 54~ She's my girl"Al.. You don't want to go home?" asked Elena watching Alby being serious. with the laptop. Elena let out a long snort because she was being ignored again. Alby has been sitting in the Stevano residence for two days, staring at his laptop constantly. I don't know what the guy actually did.Elena then got up and approached Alby and tried to peek at his laptop screen that was on, but Alby closed it first while staring intently at Elena beside him. "Stop teasing me, Elena. You won't like it when I get mad at you."Elena pouted lazily. "You're such a jobless, Al. Stay in the room withplay your laptop. Are you that frustrated thinking about Alessia?" asked Elenamake Alby chuckle"Don't say his name. You'd better get out, El" said Alby, who didn't pay attention. The woman leaned against him and forced Alby's laptop away from him. When El
Chapter 53~What is love is always fun?The Ritz-Carlton, Austria, Europe. AT 06:35 PM.Alessia threw herself on the bed. Staring at the ceiling of the inn room that he will be staying in for the next week. After agreeing to Alessia's wish to take a vacation, Michael then arranged Alessia's flight schedule in the morning when he realized that in the first few days it would snow for Christmas and the new year.Alessia took a deep breath then let it out slowly. He was tired of trying so hard to hold back the pain in his heart, realizing that Alby had really put some distance between them. The man didn't even contact her at all. It sucks, but Alessia is self-aware tooSince last night Zavier has been teasing him all the time because he came alone without Alby and asked for an impromptu vacation. Alessia certainly didn't answer Zavier's questions to her and instead kicked her out. Alessia didn't mean to a
CHAPTER 52~ Need a pauseAfter stopping the fight between Alby and Rey, now Alessia has joinedwith them there. The atmosphere was getting more and more stifling with several pairs of eyes still staring at Rey "Sorry. I'm not here to defend Rey, but I feel the need to correctthis too." Alessia took a deep breath. "Rey, he did that because of me, that's why I also apologize to you guys, especially to you, Elena." Alessia said looking at them in turn, looking nervous."Even though I did it because of Alessia, but Alessia doesn't know anything about this. It's purely my fault." Rey added making Alessia stare at him for a long time.That smile, Alessia could finally see some progress in Rey. His first man before he finally met Alby. Then, Alessia's gaze fell on Emily who was beside Rey, looking at her with a smileAh, it's not just a change in attitude, it turns
CHAPTER 51~ RecognitionAlessia sat on the church chair while closing her eyes and praying. All the things that have happened to her, Alessia as much as possible accepts that fact as a story of her life's journey full of ambition. Alessia hopes that after this there will be no more serious problems that require other people to die because of it again. Neither Veron nor Vegan.May happiness soon come to him.Elsewhere, Rey is determined to fix the mess he has made. In addition to Alessia and also Emily. Rey also felt he needed to find someone first.Rey had promised to change for the better. With Emily's help, slowly his feelings and feelings began to improve and Rey had begun to accept the fact that what Alessia wanted was not him. And what Alessia had said at that time was indeed true.When you love someone, you should be able to respect their choices and lower your ego. Rey lea
CHAPTER 50~ Call me babyAlessia sat down in the hospital garden with Alby laying his head on Alessia's lap. The sun was setting, until the sky there began to change color. Warm, comfortable and calming. It felt really good. Especially now that they were having fun. Enjoying being together after a long storm, which was quite stressful.Without Alessia knowing, Alby had been staring at her ever since, admiring how she closed her eyes and was lost in her own daydream. Alessia enjoyed all of this. After everything that happened and the series of events that brought her to this point, Alessia felt she was starting to realize the importance of Alby's presence in her life. A man willing to step in to save her. A man willing to sacrifice himself for her.Ah, it turns out that it feels like being loved this much, isn't it? Alessia just understood and realized that it was beautiful.The silence between them w
CHAPTER 49~Better late than nothing at all"The doctor doesn't allow me to move much, Ale. Aaa.." said Alby opening his mouth when Alessia told him to eat. Seeing Alby's spoiled attitude, Alessia snorted in amusement before spooning the food at him."Your stomach hurts, but you seem to have pain all over your body." Alessia replied with a sneer.Back to feed Alby who gladly accepted his bribe. "I want to go home, how about we head back to New York tonight?"Alessia didn't answer and instead called the nurse, Alby then covered Alessia's lips with her big hand while smiling "It's you. You should have supported me,Darling.""Just eat and ask to be fed, pretending to want to run away. Take a proper rest, after recovering we will go home" replied Alessia tidying up Alby's eating utensils when the food was finished.Alby suddenly grabbed Aless
CHAPTER 48~Fear of losingDOR! DOR !!The two shots in succession made Alessia fall. Seeing a lot of blood dripping down Vegan's white shirt turned red. Alessia's knees went weak."Finish.." someone said making Alessia look up. The man smiled at him then lifted Alessia's body then grabbed the rope that would take them to the helicopter."Alby. How did you get here?" Alessia asked in disbelief to find Albyagain save him.Shot after shot sounded towards them, while Alby just smiled as he continued to hold him tightly. Trying to dodge before they finally get to the helicopter with Logan at the helm. Alessia looked down and found the other members had grabbed them.Alessia took a deep breath, turned her head and right at that moment Alby attacked her aunt-kissing her full of relief. Alessia sighed in relief. The man she loves is again willin
CHAPTER 47~ MissionVelove distributed a business card for Keira and Alessia "Ara and I will outwit them, meanwhile you have to take Paul's gem necklace and stab it with a fake one" explained Velove, starting to explain, then he turned to Keira. "You are the most important. Kei. Install the bug properly and place the camera wherever you can reach it."They nodded in understanding. And when Velove and Arabella started to break into the building where they were about to wreak havoc. Alessia slipped from the back building and changed into her maid uniform. Meanwhile Keira hacked the CCTV and security of the building until they all died."It's ten minutes from now. Girls." said Keira through the micro earpiece onhis ears. Keira then rushed to stand in her position. Watching Vegan cars stop, paraThe guard immediately opened the car door and their action was ready to start.&n
