OMERTÀ CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Alexandra Dellarosa POV Turns aren't straight for a reason. This night as well kept on beating my expectations. I was sold to my ex for the price of $500,000, after which I was accosted to a room I'd classify as heaven. It was literally the most luxurious room I'd seen in my life. Truly, Fabri was doing good for himself, although, I was yet to wrap my head around the entirety of everything he had going on. “So what's your story?” Marino said slouching over a bean couch, reaching for the bowl of nuts which had been placed on the mini stool in front of the couch. “My story?” I asked, the perplexed look on my face, evident. Initially I'd thought Fabri had only instructed Marino to see me to the room and carry on with whatever he had going on, but he didn't seem as though he was planning on leaving anytime soon. “Yeah, what's a pretty, lovely and elegant lady like you, doing in the custody of a Man like Fabri “ He said with a smirk. I couldn't help but spot out the countless use o

Alfredo Fabri POVBusiness was strictly business when it came down to things like this. Not to sound too overly caught in myself, but they call me “The Devil's Butcher” for a reason.“LaRosa, you know just the right toy that'd suit a man of reputable character” I said in a chuckle, pulling off the jacket of my tux, trying to get into the feel of tonight's occasion just like Gina already had.“Never gets old” LaRosa replied, dragging Lil Joe through to what I'd always loved to call “The Confessor”. It was undeniably one of my most valuable assets in the “Room of truth”, and it had a track record of getting its victim to spew their deepest secrets in minutes.“Will you do the honours?” I asked, directing my question towards Gina. She lit up in a smile, and I knew in an instant that she really was in the mood for tonight. She walked up to an automated counter, littered all over with several buttons, of which housed and controlled the many beautiful functions of “The Confessor”.“Do you

Alexandra Dellarosa POV I was there again with a thousand and one reasons not to leave again. With both are hands locked in an embrace, we watched the shore lip it's liquid on the sole of our feets, sending a euphoric sensation to not just us but to every thing that bore witness to such a moment. “Stop it!” I yelled out playfully, my voice cackling with chuckles from every angle. He took it as a sign to put more effort into his little deed of mischief.I watched him flap the water on the bed of the shore towards my direction for the umpteenth time, and j responded in defiance to his action. But he knew me too well to stop, and as much as my words conveyed that is actions weren't acceptable, I indeed craved earnestly the entirety and full scope of whatever mischievous actions he had planned.“Fab, don't you dare!” I screamed, the ruse of my voice still hoaxed and cloaked with so much laughter as I tried running away from Fabri and his attempt to smear me with wet sand.“It wouldn't

Alfredo Fabri POV Over a decade ago, I conceived a new lens and view towards the idea of life. We are nothing more than pawns in a chess board, with the free will of choice. You either dominate or risk being thrown off the chess board by the gamemaster, Life. I had learnt to dominate a long time ago, I had learnt to adapt, growing a tough skin to whatever it was that aimed at dragging me off the chessboard. But I didn't quite know my role on the chessboard after my encounter with Lex. I felt I was losing game and at the same time, as though a thousand moves were hidden up my sleeves. I couldn't really point out plainly what it was exactly that kept in between these two unruly categories, but I knew whatever it was, I'd only have to play to gain dominance.Did I still have anything left for Lex?, Evidently, but was it worth pursuing? By now you'd have known the answer. Truthfully as regards Lex, she hurt me so bad years ago when she left me to bear the brunt of losing my mother to

Alexandra Dellarosa POV I still can visualize the terror in his eyes, the venom that was nonchalantly littered in the depth of his voice was so bold that it couldn't be mistaken for anything else and I could go on ahead to give a thousand explanations as to what I believed had happened, but then I woke up from bed. My head pounding with an excruciating pain.“Was it all a dream?” I thought to myself. It couldn't be, it was so real. I had walked my way down an eerie stairs, navigating aimlessly toward the peity of a voice which led me to the odd room where I saw a bloodied Fabri to the fullest of his satisfaction, torturing an innocent fellow. From the look of things he enjoyed every bit of it, and the excitement on Gina’s face as he pulled those stunts could even be compared to that of Fabri’s. I was at awe with the fact that I could give such a detailed description of a scenario that never really happened, and apparently was a dream.“But was it really a dream?” I muttered to myself

Alfredo Fabri POV I froze to a halt on seeing Alexandra snooping around. Her hair was packed to a messy bun, rummaging through, in her quest for something I knew all too well. On seeing her this early in the morning, I had felt this wave of nostalgia flow through my veins that I waited patiently to settle before I spoke. I could visualize her petite figure and I missed the days when I could claim ownership of her beauty in my arms, proudly shading off ogling eyes who'd dared to give approaching her a thought.“Fabs” She replied, her voice in a squeak as though she'd just been called out on something she wasn't meant to be doing. But I was more fixated on the name she'd addressed me by rather than the “shock” she'd expressed.“How was your night?” I asked, wanting to keep the conversation ongoing. I knew she was in a quest to feed her curiosity as regarding what she'd seen last night, but we'd do well to take care of the issue and definitely by the look of things she was in conflict

Alexandra Dellarosa POV Sitting so close to Fabri brought about yet another nostalgic effect. I watched him meander his way with the culinary, perfectly smoulding through intentionally, curating the perfect cup of coffee. He was too comfortable with the experience, such that I wondered if he was the one in charge of this specific bar.“I’ll pick it up later” He said, ignoring the phone call. It was almost as though he didn't want to take the call in front of me. Was it perhaps something that had to do with me? Perhaps I was only overthinking things, but I could get out of my head.“I could leave if you don't feel comfortable with taking the call in my presence” I continued, taking a sip out of the cup of coffee. I watched him pause for a moment, as though he'd carefully thought his next reply thoroughly.“No such” He replied. I didn't get the memo nor did I get the entirety of the message he was trying to pass across, but he in an instant picked up the call and his actions were just

Alfredo Fabri POV “What do you mean the Boss is missing Fabri?”“And why are we only just hearing of this?”“Are you running a one man crusade or are you after the unity of the family?”“Can we all be calm?” Marco tried turning down the ruckus that had long been escalated in the board room.I sat next to the head of the table, Don's seat at the head was left vacant seeing that he was absent. The Mafia held with priority the hierarchy of the brethren, no one knew the whereabouts of the Don and although the odds pointed at the fact that he'd been killed by an unidentified entity, we couldn't take rash conclusions, we gave credence to the slimmer chances of him being alive rather than make brash assumptions.“And what does Lil Joe have to do with any of this” Randolph, one of the few Soldiers in the room spewed.It was the way things like these were, everyone was in a state where nothing seemed to be going in a straight line. The Boss was nowhere to be found, and so the severity of the

OMERTÀ CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
Alexandra Dellarosa's POV I just stared at him from my spot on the door, my face twisting into a grimace. My brows furrowed, my lips curling in frustration. Was this all because I had said I wasn’t jealous? Seriously? I rolled my eyes, exhaling sharply as the realization finally dawned on me. So that’s what this was — a tantrum. Way to throw a fit, Fabri.It wasn’t even about jealousy. I knew that. I wasn’t jealous; I just cared about him. That was all. It wasn’t some petty possessiveness or insecurity, just genuine concern, the kind that sat heavy on your chest and lingered in your mind. But sure, twist it however you want. I rolled my eyes again, this time slower, the irritation settling deeper.Still, I knew I couldn’t leave things like this. With a sigh, I pushed myself off the door and walked toward the bed, bracing myself to apologize. The last thing I needed was another argument. Not now. Not when I’d finally managed to wrestle with my own emotions long enough to forgive him f
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FIFTY
Alfredo Fabri's POV I smiled back at her lips, my gaze lingering a little too long, as if they held some unspoken promise. Without hesitation, I followed her up the stairs like a lost puppy, my thoughts consumed by her presence. Gina, once a sharp and persistent thought in the back of my mind, now felt like a fleeting whisper drowned out by the magnetic pull of the woman before me.The sound of the door clicking shut behind me felt louder than it should have, a sharp punctuation that seemed to close me off from the rest of the world. She stood in front of it, her back against the wood, her smile curling at the corners like smoke rising from a flame. There was something unsettling about it, yet I found myself unable to look away. My pulse quickened, a dull thud echoing in my ears.“Kiss me.”The words poured from her lips like silk, soft and smooth, yet heavy with intent. Each syllable seemed to hang in the air, wrapping around me like a warm breath against my skin. It wasn’t a reques
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY NINE
Alexandra Dellarosa's POVI got up slowly, feeling the stiffness in my limbs as though I were waking from a year-long slumber. Each movement was slow and deliberate, the dull ache spreading through my body like an unwelcome guest that refused to leave. My muscles throbbed, my joints cracked quietly, but I kept going — stretching my arms, rolling my neck, coaxing my body to life. It hurt, but I welcomed the pain. It felt grounding, something real to hold onto when everything else felt unsteady.I breathed in deeply, filling my lungs with the stale air of the room, air that had grown heavy and lifeless over the past few days. Turning toward the large curtains at the far end of the room, I walked over with careful steps. That small corner, tucked away in quiet isolation, had become more familiar to me than the bed I was meant to recover in. The window was my escape, my reminder that there was still a world outside, a world still spinning even as I lay trapped in my own silence.The thoug
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT
Alfredo Fabri's POV I sat in her room, watching over her as she slept. The air was thick with silence, save for the faint rustle of the curtains shifting against the breeze. Roseville had left just moments ago, her presence lingering like the faint scent of her perfume. The room still carried an odd warmth from her fussing about, adjusting pillows, refilling water, reminding me repeatedly that Lex needed rest and nothing else.“She doesn’t need you hovering,” Roseville had added before leaving, her tone firm. “Just give her space.”But I couldn’t.I stayed in that chair, back stiff and muscles aching, unable to leave. Every few minutes I’d glance at her — Lex — studying the delicate rise and fall of her chest, half-convinced she might stop breathing if I looked away for too long. The purple bruising still lingered around her throat, an ugly reminder of what I’d done.My fault.The guilt gnawed at me, making me restless. I'd tried apologizing, muttered words, choked promises that I'd
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
Alexandra Dellarosa's POV My eyes fluttered open to reveal the room ceiling, pushing themselves closed almost immediately after. I felt a sharp pinch on my forearm, stretching to find a line, fluid running through it into my arm. Something felt cool against my forehead, like soft, damp cloth pressing gently to my skin. My throat ached, raw and tight, and breathing felt like dragging air through broken glass. My body felt weak, almost like I’d been wrung out, every limb heavy and useless.The room swam in and out of focus, the ceiling blurring again, the faint flicker of a lamp making shadows dance along the walls. My head throbbed, and my chest burned with each breath.“You’re awake,” a soft voice whispered.I turned my head slightly, looking in the direction of the voice, just enough to see Roseville sitting beside me, her face lined with worry. She was holding the cloth, her hand steady despite the concern written across her features.“Don’t try to move. It'll only hurt more. You'v
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY SIX
Alfredo Fabri's POV The warmth of her neck seared against my fingers as I wrapped them tighter and tighter still, my grip like a vice, unrelenting. My stance was firm, feet planted as though cemented to the floor. She squirmed beneath my hold, her body twisting and straining, but I barely noticed. My gaze was locked on the back of her head, my mind clouded with a boiling rage that swallowed everything else.She wouldn’t walk out on me like that again, not like I was nothing. Not like she could just turn her back and leave without consequence. If she thought she could ignore me, then most definitely, she'd learn the hard way.“Alexandra, you do not walk out on me in that manner. Is that clear?” I growled through clenched teeth, my voice low and ragged. Her body jerked, her shoulders trembling violently as she fought to breathe. They were deep, desperate gasps that barely seemed to fill her lungs. The sound of her strangled breaths clawed at my ears, sharp and uneven, yet I didn’t ease
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
The sharp click of the door latch snapped through the air, freezing us both in place. The sound alone was enough to send a jolt of panic racing down my spine, but it was nothing compared to what followed. He stepped inside, the sight of him hitting like a punch to the chest, cold, sudden, and impossible to ignore.We stood there, rooted in place, too stunned to move. His gaze locked onto us, eyes narrowing in confusion as he tried to piece together what he was seeing. For a moment, no one spoke — no one even breathed — as if the entire room were holding itself still. My pulse thundered in my ears, my skin cold and clammy.Roseville reacted first, her panic evident in the way she scrambled to free herself from the mess of sheets. She moved in a blur, hastily straightening her clothes before stepping beside the bed, her head bowed low like she could will herself invisible. But nothing could erase the tension that clung to the room, thick and stifling, suffocating every second that passe
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
I stood up as though to meet him, my muscles coiled with tension. Each step I took toward him felt heavier than the last, dread curling in my stomach like smoke. But I couldn’t back down. Not now. If he wanted a fight a fight he would get. “That’s not happening,” I said firmly, my voice harder than I expected. I looked over him, what use to be cordial acknowledgement now anger and disgust. His eyes sparked with amusement, almost like he knew something I didn’t. He tilted his head slightly, a smug grin creeping across his face.“I don’t think you understand how this works, Fabri,” he replied, his tone low and almost playful. His gaze glinted with something dangerous, something sinister. He was enjoying this a little too much. I did understand. All too well, in fact, which was exactly why I couldn’t waste another second. Before he even had a chance to move, I lunged forward, driving my fist hard into his stomach with everything I had. My knuckles sank deep into muscle, and he stagger
OMERTÀ CHAPTER FORTY THREE
“You can't possibly be serious, Roseville. You're joking, right?” I turned to her, a maelstrom of emotions building within me. Was she actually being serious? She had to be joking, right?I just stood there, frozen, my mouth slightly open as I gaped at her. My mind raced, trying to process what she had just asked of me, some outrageous demand that seemed impossible to pull off. I felt like I was being asked to conjure a storm out of clear skies, to twist reality itself to fit her impossible request.Yet there she was, calm as ever. She smiled, a knowing smile, one that carried a silent message I couldn’t quite decipher but knew I wouldn’t like. Without breaking eye contact, she reached for a nearby chair, dragged it closer with an agonizing scrape against the floor, and lowered herself into it. Slowly, she crossed her legs, folded her hands in her lap, and stared at me expectantly, her smile never faltering. She wasn’t just waiting for my answer, she was daring me to give the wrong on
