Kera POVParker decided to cook one of his family's favourite dishes before he left. Carbonara and Tiramisu for dessert. I watch him as he gracefully moves around the huge kitchen grabbing and adding different ingredients to the pot. The whole kitchen smells amazing making my mouth water.We know the food isn't the only thing making your mouth water.I walk up to him to sneak a piece out of the pot but he pulls me away. "No, baby. You won't enjoy it as much." He says and I pout. "Come on. I can eat literally anything. Lemme see. Pleeeaaaasse!" I whine and he raises his brow as a warning. I stop and walk back to my seat pouting the whole time. I feel like a little kid right now. "Stop pouting, Kera. Dinner's almost ready anyway." He says and true to his words, he switches the burners off and transfers the food into serving bowels. I am bouncing in my seat from both excitement and hunger. We haven't eaten since the plain ride. He places the large bowl in the middle of the huge dinn
Parker/Alessio POV(⚠Mentions of rape and abuse in this chapter. If you are sensitive to such topics, please skip that part.⚠)I'm driving with my head spinning at her words."I try so hard to put all my trust in him, but he does something every time that makes me think twice."The words are stuck and keep re-playing over and over in my head. I know I shouldn't have been eavesdropping but I had already heard most of it. I felt like shit when she said that. The fact that she basically said that I was controlling her life while she knew nothing about me, that fucked me up. It fucked me up 'cause it's the truth. "You okay, boss?" Denver asks me. He's not a very verbal guy so the fact that he even asked, shocks me. "Yeah. You don't have to call me boss, you know. I was fine with Parker since that is all you can call me for now." I say muttering the last part to myself."So Kera doesn't know anything at all. Not even your real name?" He asks and I sigh but nod."Permission to speak freel
Kera POV "Harder." I moan as he gently thrusts into me. My nails dig into his back and he groans. "No." He refuses and I whimper."Fuck! Harder, please." I say really scratching up his tattooed back. "You don't tell me what to do, baby. I own this little body. Mine!" He screams and I jolt up. My skin is covered with a thin layer of sweat. I look forward to see Parker sitting on the chair, staring at me. I look away and get out of bed. "Morning, bambina." He says. Between the wet dream and his sexy morning voice and accent, I don't think I'll be able to stay mad. I'm not really mad, annoyed maybe but not mad. I just want to teach him a lesson. "Morning." I whisper and walk into the bathroom to take a shower. I take my clothes off while I wait for the water to heat up. I relax as soon as my body comes in contact with the warm water.I dip my head under the water and feel hands pull me back. A yelp escapes my lips as I come in contact with a hard chest.And something else..."Don't
Kera POV"You're kidding, right?" I ask dumbfounded. He shakes his head looking down. I fold my arms across my chest and look at him. "Then what is your real name?" He looks at me and bites his lip nervously. "Alessio Marino." He says darkly and I raise my brows.There is an awkward pause before I burst out laughing. "What a performance." I say, dramatically clapping. "I'm not playing around. You wanted the truth and now I'm telling you." He says and I stop smiling. "The big boss is in today.""Mr. Marino is big on privacy.""I own the company."I can feel all the colour drain from my face. "Marino." I whisper as it all clicks into place. How could I be so stupid and not connect the pieces earlier."What the fuck, man?" I ask with so much confusion and anger in my voice that I scare myself a little. "I'm sorry, Kera. I have been wanting to tell you for a while now. I just didn't know how or when to tell you." He says and I scoff. "Uhhh how about not lying to me in the first p
Alessio POVIt felt good to tell her everything. It feels as if a weight has been lifted off off my shoulders. She was going to leave me and I know that but I can't let her go just yet. She should already be halfway out the door but no, she's in my arms with her lips against mine. She called me a psycho and she couldn't have been more on point but I'm her psycho though. She makes me go crazy and she keeps me sane at the same time. I have never felt this way about anybody before. I didn't want to either but I'm not so sure now. I tried keeping my 'mafia tendencies' to myself, now I don't have to. I can completely be me and show her how I actually act.This woman, who is dumb enough to be kissing me after I told her that I lied to her about my life, has my heart. She has kept me grounded this whole time. She has made me soft. She made me feel. I push her against the wall as her legs tighten around my waist. I grind my hardness against her as she struggles to keep her moans in.I fe
Kera POVI peak down at Alessio who has his head laid on my chest. He's out cold. I lay back and stare at the blackness just thinking. What would my life be like if I hadn't met him? Surely not as good, I can tell you that. Over the short month of dating Alessio--or of dating Parker, I have realised how attached you can easily become if you let yourself feel for that person completely. I might have felt a little too much. Just the thought of going through with what I had planned has been eating at my heart all day. Now that it's time, I feel like fucking dying. I don't want to but I have to. I can't go through the same thing and risk my mom's or my safety again. My dad has done his part in that and I'm not about to join him. My dad got involved with some shady guys a few years back which almost resulted into us being forced into prostitution. I was seventeen and didn't know what was going on. I'm twenty-four now and I know better. I will do whatever it takes to avoid a repetit
Alessio POVI wake up to the heat of the room and the blankets practically suffocating me. It takes time for my eyes to adjust to the bright morning light as it streams in through the glass doors and the windows. I turn to look at my baby only to find an empty space next to me. My brows furrow and I sit up. "Kera?" I call out to receive nothing but silence. I get up and check the bathroom only to come up empty again. I quickly brush my teeth and wash my face.Maybe she's making breakfast.Then why do I feel like something is wrong? I walk out of the room after putting on some sweats. I scratch my head and walk down the stairs. One of the maids walks past me but I stop her."Hey. Have you seen, Kera?" I ask her and she looks terrified. I only asked a question and she looks like she's about to shit herself. Am I that bad?"G-Good morning, sir. I have not seen her. Shall I prepare breakfast?" She asks in a soft voice. I sigh and shake my head 'no'. "Thank you." I say and walk away.
Kera POVI look at my phone stunned at what I just heard. He is fucking crazy. I tell him that I want time to myself and he tells me that he wants to fuck me. Don't act like you don't like it. I sigh and fall back into my pillows, thinking about it all. I'm too tired to be stressing over Alessio's possessive tendencies. I had a long flight, stressful flight. Although I caught the earliest flight, it still managed to have that one annoying little kid who would just not shut up. By the time I got off the plane, my head was killing me.I got a cab and had to make another hour long drive to my house. At first, I contemplated going to mom's but then I don't want to impose if she was spending the night with Tom.Shit!I have dinner with my mom and Tom on Tuesday. Alessio has to be there. They don't know that he isn't Parker Matheson. This is all fucked. I get up and check the time. 11.45 pm.Cursing Alessio for waking me up, I get up and walk out of my cold room and down the stairs.
