The day after day I have been passed, I don't know how long Ezra has been kidnapped me, until this makes me wants to forget about Riccardo, but that's so hard for me.I feels isolated in this fancy mansion and try to forget all the things that happened, I know what's going on outside.I turn on the television and I see about my disappearance that Ezra keeps hidden from me, so this makes me doesn't know about anything that happened.But at the same time I know Riccardo feels the same like I did too.I don't know why my life can be with this mafia, maybe this is my destiny? But I never want this, this situations really makes me insane.Ezra is also the most dangerous mafia, I don't know when I will escape from him."Alessia? What are you thinking there? I've been waiting for you.""E-ezra I just?" My mind was racing with everything I could say. He looks at me confused, he's always confused, his eyes are big as if he wants to ask something but it would hurt him so much if he did.He walk
We're sitting in the couch of the living room watching a movie and I can't concentrate at all, because everytime I close my eyes, I picture Ezra running through the forest and the butterflies fluttering around in my stomach.Suddenly Ezra leans against my shoulder and I feel the blood rushing up to my face. I know I shouldn't be surprised by his sudden actions, we've been dating for almost a month and he never did this before. I think it's normal now, but I guess it wouldn't be possible."What's wrong? You look sad." He says softly and I shake my head, pretending to be fine.Ezra frowns, "Please talk to me Alessia." I raise my eyebrows and bite my lip nervously."Nothing, I promise." I reply and he stares at me intensely."Really?" he asks skeptically and I nod.Ezra sighs and puts his arm around me. I rest my head against his chest and I feel relaxed.We continue watching the movie and I don't remember when he fell asleep, he's laying on my shoulder but he looks completely different
"You're running really slow." He says playfully.I roll my eyes but I keep running along with him.We stop for a second after passing all the people and then we continue running.At least it's easier than I thought it would be, we both know exactly which way is the best path to avoid all the enemies.When we reach the fence I start climbing it and Ezra does the same thing behind me.I feel sweat forming on my forehead and I'm panting heavily.I look down and see two soldiers running behind us. I'm pretty sure they won't get past the obstacle but the guards behind us might catch up.I start climbing higher and faster and Ezra follows me.Finally I reached the top and I climb the ladder carefully while Ezra jumps down.I look at him from where I'm standing, he's already waiting for me."You okay?" he asks and I nod."Let's go!" Ezra tells me and I follow him.We run through the woods, avoiding the guards and we eventually arrive at the beach area.There are several boats scattered aroun
"Fine, I'll listen." I reply irritatedly and he lets out a breath of relief."Alessia, I'm going to give you everything you've ever wanted in life, but it's not going to happen unless you stay with me. If you want me to leave you alone then I can, I won't interfere in your life any longer." He says softly.I shake my head in annoyance, "No! You're wrong, I'll never agree with you, this isn't fair!" I shout angrily.He leans forward and grabs both of my hands in his, "I promise that I'll always look after you, but I don't want to force you to stay with me.""And what if I refuse to stay here?" I say stubbornly, clenching my fists tightly."Then I guess I'll have to leave you here." He says quietly. I feel tears building up in my eyes, and I try to hide them but he notices anyway."Please don't cry." He whispers, pulling me closer. I grab a fistful of his shirt and hold onto it tightly.I'm mad at him, I'm frustrated because I feel as though he's not letting me choose.As if he thinks
"Hey." I respond tiredly."Sorry for startling you, I was just checking if you were awake and you weren't moving, I didn't mean to scare you." He apologies."It's okay." I mutter."Do you want breakfast?" He asks me.I nod my head."I was planning on making eggs and bacon for the both of us so go change into something you would like, I'll wait for you here." He says kindly.I thank him and quickly get out of bed.When I walk inside our room I instantly see that Ezra's clothes are still here. I look for my own clothes and I find them laying on the bed, so I pick them up and begin to change.I wear my black jeans, and a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to my elbows.I put on my black vans and then walk downstairs, finding Ezra leaning against the counter and eating something."Breakfast is ready." He says, setting down the fork he's holding.I hum and walk towards the kitchen island and I sit myself down and watch as Ezra sets up our plates."Have you eaten yet?" He asks turning his h
"Could you buy me something to drink?" I ask him softly."Anything you want." He murmurs, planting another kiss on my forehead.I smile at him and lean my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.Suddenly, he pulls me to him tightly and I wrap my arms around his waist tightly. His lips gently brush my temple and I feel his warm breath fanning my skin.After sometime Ezra pulls away from me and starts to walk away, dragging me along with him.We walk down the streets hand in hand and I can't help but stare at our joined hands, mesmerized.This man is too perfect for me. And I don't deserve him either.We arrive at the market and Ezra lets go of my hand so we can get inside, where the people seem to be getting their shopping done."Ezra." I call out to him.He turns around and faces me."Can you get me something to drink please?" I ask quietly.He gives me a gentle smile and he walks away from me.I wait patiently, occasionally glancing at the clock hanging near the entrance.
"You should eat your eggs, they are hot." He warns."Ok." I reply, taking a sip of milk from the glass in front of me."Did you like what we did yesterday?" He asks me.I finish my food before answering."Yes." I say smiling."Why are you so happy?" He questions curiously.I giggle."I have no idea." I confess."If you don't want to tell me, I won't pry." He assures me."No it's ok." I reassure him."Last night was really special to me." I explain."Me too." He agrees."I don't remember feeling this way ever before." I add.Ezra reaches across the countertop and grabs hold of one of my hands."I hope it'll never end, Alessia." He says in an almost sorrowful tone.I smile softly at him."Don't worry, it probably won't." I assure him."I hope not." He admits."So, tell me what happened last night." I request.He smirks at me mischievously."Well, I kissed you goodnight." He says."And?" I prompt.He leans forward so our foreheads are touching and his eyes lock with mine."I kissed you a
I move my hands from his face and I begin to stroke his cheeks and then trail them down his neck and across his chest.Once I find his shirt buttons I undo them and then I start working his buttons until he stops me."Wait." He says pulling away from my lips.I raise an eyebrow at him."What?" I question him."There's another button under my shirt." He informs me.I smile and then I unbutton the shirt and pull it over his head before tossing it onto the floor beside the bed.I lean forward and place a small kiss on his lips."Is this okay?" I question him.He gives me a small nod and then he places a small kiss on my lips."Yes." He replies."Good." I whisper, leaning forward to kiss him again.A few hours later after having sex for the first time Ezra and I fall asleep wrapped in each other's arms."Alessia, wake up." A voice whispers.I groan and I roll over burying my face deeper into the pillow."Wake up." The voice whispers again, this time softer this time.Finally my eyes flutt
"Here it is." She said giving him the jacket.Riccardo puts it on and turns around to face her."Thanks."She smiled sweetly at him."Where do you want me to carry you?" She asked."You can carry me over your shoulder." Riccardo said.Alessia roll her eyes."You know, I'M NOT THAT BABY. YOU CAN DO IT WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS AND DON'T ASK ME TO PUT MY BACK ON YOU OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT."Riccardo looks surprised at how fast she reacted after what he said."Alright, whatever you say." He chuckled.And so Alessia carried him over her shoulders.As they were going towards the elevator Riccardo spoke."So, are you going back to work tomorrow?" He asks."I think so. My boss told me that she wanted me to come back to work as early as possible." She answered."That means I'll be able to spend more time with you, won't it?" He asked."Yeah, probably, but don't expect me to kiss you every time that you come home." Alessia joked.Riccardo laughs at her comment."Ok." He says "Well, I guess we sh
The next morning, Alessia woke up early. After getting ready quickly she went downstairs to see Riccardo waiting for her."Morning, baby girl," he greets her and give her a peck on the cheek."Morning, Riccardo." She replied as she sits on the table."Let's have breakfast together, I made you breakfast earlier." He said.She gave him a small smile."Thank you."After eating their breakfast, they decided to walk through the city. They walked hand in hand. It felt natural for them. When they reach near the park, they decided to sit on one of the benches."Have you been planning this for long?" Asked Alessia."Yeah, since last month. Why?""Nothing."Alessia leans her head against his shoulder. As they continue walking, Alessia couldn't hold it anymore."Do you really want to adopt my babies?" She asks."Of course I do." He answers without any hesitation."But I mean, why did you choose us?" Riccardo sigh."Honestly, I don't know. It's all I dream about for years." He paused. "When I wa
"That's a very valid question. And I don't blame you at all for missing me, Alessia. But don't feel guilty, okay? I would never be mad at you or upset if you ever thought about coming back to me. In fact, if you do decide to return, we'll talk more about this situation, alright?" She requested with a small smile.As soon as I heard the words we will talk being said aloud, I felt slightly relieved. However, it only lasted for a short amount of time because I immediately thought about what Ezra had said to me the night before. He had asked me to wait until tomorrow to give myself a chance to talk about the things that troubled me, so now, I was starting to wonder whether my decision to wait was a good idea. I decided I needed to ask her about it."Actually, I need to ask you something...about yesterday afternoon," I said nervously."What is it?" she asked curiously."I don't know how to word it exactly...but I have these weird feelings...and I'm beginning to think that maybe I should r
"This was a really fun game, Alessia. I think I'm going to enjoy playing it more often," she mentioned, smiling genuinely."Me too. And I'm glad you enjoyed yourself today. I missed you playing poker," I admitted."And I missed you too, Alessia. Thank you for everything you did. We wouldn't have survived without you," she said sincerely.Just then, someone knocked on the door and announced Ezra's arrival. A moment later, he entered the room with an excited smile plastered across his face."Sorry I'm late. I got caught up on a case and had to do overtime," he apologized."It's alright. You were lucky that it was only one extra hour," she commented.I gave Ezra a quick hug, while everyone else congratulated him on finally arriving back."Wow, you smell great!" I commented, noticing how fresh his hair smelled."Thanks. That means a lot to me," he said happily.We all then headed out of the house, saying our farewells. As we reached their car, I noticed the car seats had been removed and
We both got up and made our way down the hallway to the kitchen. There, I saw our family eating together. They all looked quite happy and excited. My heart filled with happiness upon seeing everyone looking so content. It was truly a perfect family.As soon as I arrived downstairs, I spotted them sitting together at one of the stools at the kitchen counter. I walked over to them and took a seat beside her."Hey," I greeted."Hey," Ezra responded."I'm sorry for waking you," I apologies."Oh, it's not a problem. I didn't mind getting up early anyway," She stated cheerfully, waving her hand dismissively.I chuckled softly to myself and turned my attention towards my mum who was busy cooking breakfast."Mum, please don't cook too much. I might not be able to handle it after all," I pleaded.She chuckled."There's plenty more where that came from," she reassured me."Thank God," I whispered in relief.Alessia suddenly jumped up from her seat and ran out of the room, running past me and a
Without saying another word, I followed him into the bedroom, closing the door behind me as I did so. I laid down on the bed and he crawled onto the mattress and pressed a kiss against my forehead. I immediately melted into his embrace. My eyelids started to droop tiredly. Dan chuckled and kissed my temple."Go to sleep, Alessia," he ordered softly.I hummed contently and closed my eyes, relaxing into his touch. Soon enough, my breathing slowed and deepened until it eventually stopped altogether. Ezra smiled to himself as he looked down at me, admiring my peaceful expression. I was sleeping soundly in his arms. The events of yesterday were finally catching up with me and I could barely keep myself from falling asleep. The exhaustion was setting in and I could barely keep my eyes open. I sighed softly as Ezra rubbed circles against my hip soothingly.He leaned forward and rested his chin atop my head, gently brushing away the strands of my loose hair and placing a gentle kiss on th
"Okay, love, I get it. Let's not talk too much and just get ready for breakfast. Then we should probably hurry up and eat before everyone arrives," he said playfully.I nodded and smiled.I felt so loved by Ezra. He gave me more joy than anything else in this world. Even though I'd never admit it out loud, he was definitely the most important person to me in this world. Every time I thought about losing him, my heart broke and I felt so empty. All I wanted to do was hug him tightly and tell him how much I loved him. I had never had anyone give me unconditional love Ever.I had never experienced that type of warmth. I was used to people only caring about the fame I brought them. It scared me to think that someone would ever care about me. And that they would love me unconditionally.I shook my head to clear my thoughts and glanced up at Ezra nervously. There was no way I would be able to hide the emotion in my eyes if I dared to speak. The words seemed stuck somewhere in my throat."
"Marry me," he muttered between heavy breaths."Huh? Why?" I questioned, staring up at him in confusion."Because...because I want you to marry me," he repeated.I gasped quietly in shock, unable to speak a word. Dan's dark eyes were filled with determination as he stared at me intently.ToYah, yah, yes! Of course, I'll marry you!" I blurted out hurriedly.I immediately slapped a hand over my mouth. My voice had come out so loud and I could tell that Ezra had definitely heard me. I bit my lip anxiously and glanced over at him nervously. But surprisingly, he didn't react at all he merely chuckled softly and kissed me tenderly on the lips."Good girl," he murmured softly. "Now come here," he added.I reluctantly crawled towards him. Once I was close enough, he pulled me into a tight embrace and hugged me tightly."Are you okay?" he asked worriedly."Yeah, I'm alright," I assured him.I couldn't believe I had just proposed to Ezra. Sure, I'd always known that it would eventually happen,
"I love you so much," he whispered in my ear before pressing his lips against mine.I felt my cheeks flush brightly again and I closed my eyes in anticipation. As soon as our lips connected, I felt my senses begin to dull and my body relax. All of my worries and problems melted away, leaving nothing but bliss behind them. Nothing mattered except for Ezra."I love you too," I replied softly.After a moment, I pulled away, breaking apart our kiss. I took a deep breath and exhaled loudly."So...are we going back to watching TV now?" I asked hopefully.He chuckled softly."We can continue watching whatever you want," he replied. "However, are you sure that you're alright?" he questioned.A part of me wanted to lie and say everything was fine, but I knew that I couldn't do it. I couldn't hide the truth from Ezra. Besides, he probably already suspected something, judging by the look in his eyes. So, I decided to answer honestly instead."Honestly? No. Not really. I' m just tired," I admit
