Aidan Allesia Moretti, the youngest daughter of the head of Moretti family was my key to revenge. Her parents had taken everything from me and now I was going to take everything right back. Starting with their youngest child, their golden girl. Only by the time I am finished with her she won’t be so golden. I plan on owning her, using her and leaving her broken. Let them pick up the pieces, just like they had forced me to but things are moving in the underworld and new threats are looming. Threats that not even the combined power of the Mafia and Bratva can survive. When it comes down to it, what side will I choose? To take down the Moretti family, how far am I willing to go? (This is a next generation story, but you don’t need to read the original 3 book series to enjoy!)
View MoreAlessiaThe whisky was still burning down my throat when I used my keycard to let myself into my hotel room a few minutes later. I hated whisky but that wasn’t the reason I had left him in such a hurry. The last thing I needed was for alcohol to lower my guard around him. Because one more drink and I was probably going to do something stupid like climb him like a tree and beg him to take me.That couldn’t happen. It didn’t matter how alone I felt right now. I couldn’t just give myself to the first guy who came along. Even if they were beautiful and charming… And not single. I told myself.Moving into the room I slid the card into its little holder and moved my hand to find the lights. Only in the dark I couldn’t quite remember where that was. Stumbling forward, I let my hand drift until I found it. Behind me something moved. A whisper of cloth brushing against cloth coming from somewhere near the bathroom.I whirled, my heart pounding and half expecting to find Dana right behind m
Alessia We spent the rest of the day at the police station. They took statements and then double checked them. I didn’t know how much more I could tell them because I hadn’t been there.I had no clue what was going on.“You’re a Moretti.” The detective came back into the room, minus the drink he had promised me and sat down heavily on the other side of the table. He had a stack of papers in his hand which he kept glancing down at. “Yes. That is my name. Alessia Moretti.” I forced myself to smile.He didn’t smile back even though he had been all smiles and good natured charm right up until that point. “You’re family is -“I cut him off as Dana shot me a look from the chair next to me. “I know who my family is.”He looked between us. And realisation settled over his features like a mask. “I see. Is your family involved Alessia. Did something happen between you and the man -““You know who it is?” Dana’s voice shook. “Some low level thug, Irish parents but born here.” The detectives
Alessia“This is just what we needed.” Heaving myself out of the jacuzzi I followed after Dana , who seemed to have much more experience with hotel spas than I did.“It is and you just wait until-“ she swung open the door of what I was guessing was the sauna and froze. “Oh.” She said loudly. “Sorry I didn’t realise anyone else was here.”Confused I looked around her and it was my turn to freeze. Fuck.“No problem.” Aidens sultry voice was full of surprise. His eyes found mine and the surprise turned into delight. They twinkled with it. Beautiful even through the steam.“Plenty of room. Unless you ladies want the place to yourself.”Hell yeah I wanted the place to myself. There was no way I was going to be able to relax with him in there and looking the way he did.“No, of course not.” Dana moved into the room until it was just me standing there keeping the door open.“Plenty of room for all of us.” She continued. “Are you coming in , Alessia or are you just going to stand there?” Sh
AidenPicking the crystal decanter in my hand I launched it at the far wall. Right next to the window which I was lucky I didn’t hit. I wasn’t sure it would have broken thanks to the safety glass but did I really want to risk it?“Are you done smashing things up or should I wait a while?” A familiar voice spoke from my phone on the bed. I turned to it and if I could have reached through the line and crossed the ocean between us I would have gladly wrapped my fingers around his throat and squeezed the laughter right out of his voice. Laughing at me even when I was in a good mood was a dangerous hobby , laughing at me in this rage was pretty much a death wish. “She said no.” I said again because I had a feeling he didn’t quite get it yet. Maybe he wasn’t really listening. So I would say it again and again until it sank into his thick head. “She fucking said no to having dinner with me.” I clenched my fists. “No one says no to me.”His laughter bubbled up even louder than before. “Has
Alessia I couldn’t get the image out of my mind. All night it had plagued me. Aiden kissing that leggy brunette like his life depended on it. And I was raked with jealousy. Not that I had any right to the feelings assaulting me. He had asked me out for dinner that was true but we weren’t in fact dating. He had just done me a favour and been a gentleman. Aiden didn’t owe me anything at all so I had no right to be jealous.I was though. And I hated the way it twisted my thoughts and -A knock , so quiet that I almost missed it sounded from the other end of the room. It was early and Dana was still sound asleep. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand I frowned. It wasn’t even seven am so it was also too early for room service which I had booked for half eight.Maybe it was just my imagination.Someone knocked again. Slightly louder this time. With a grumble of Italian under my breath I swept the blankets from over me and padded bare foot towards the door.Swinging it open a few inch
Alessia“Papa.” Softly I closed the bathroom door. Dana was sleeping fitfully on one of the two hotel beds because that’s where we were now.In a hotel in the centre of the city. Something swanky because Dana needed the distraction and I knew my father would go nuclear if he found out I had checked into anything less than five stars.And he had found out in less than hour which meant my parents were still tracking my bank accounts. Of course I kind of knew they would be.“What’s happened?” It was my fathers voice but not the voice he used around me: this was his work voice. “I just got an alert that you used your card to-“I sighed loudly. “We are perfectly safe papa, I am perfectly safe.”“And what exactly are you safe from?” His tone was dangerous and I could clearly picture him stalking back and forth in front of my mum. “What has happened?”“Start from the beginning.” Another male voice quipped and I knew that voice. Stefano my fathers right hand man was there and I was clearly on
Aiden I got us a taxi, insisting on it because Allessia was beside herself with worry thanks to her friends screaming.“Hey.” Reaching across the back seat I grabbed her hands in mine. Forcing them apart because she kept picking at her nails and wringing them together. “It’s going to be ok. Did you friend say what was wrong?”She shook her head mutely, tears making her eyes glitter and shine. They were literally swimming in tears but she wasn’t actually crying because no tears fell down her cheek.I reached for her cheek anyway. Rubbing my thing under her eye. “That’s a good thing. Everything is going to be fine. I promise.”Now that was a bare faced lie but only in parts. Things hadn’t gone entirely to plan because my little gift was meant to be for the woman next to me and not her roommate but it seemed the roommate had changed her schedule at the last minute and come home to find my little gift.Not to plan at all but it would have the same effect on the girl next to me. Everythi
Allessia We didn’t end up going to McQuinns although Aiden did ask me to point it out before steering me down a narrow alleyway and into the smallest quaintest coffee shop I had ever seen.Looking around as he pulled out my chair I smiled. It was adorable and me in every way. I didn’t know how I had lived in the city for this long and missed it.“I can see by your face that you approve.” Taking the seat opposite me, he reached across the table for my hands and trapped them between his. Rubbing his thumb back and forth over the back of them. When he looked up at me his eyes were soft. “You’re not shaking anymore but your fingers are still cold. Are you sure you are ok?”Mutely I nodded. Not because I was in shock or scared any longer but because of the way he was looking at me. No man, not in my entire life, had ever looked at me the way this handsome stranger was.Men looked at me and felt lust. Their lust for me and for the power I promised them but with Aiden he looked at me and i
Aiden She was three people in front of me. Her blonde ponytail bobbing as she walked with her coffee in her hand and a smile on her face. I knew about the smile because I had already circled around her twice without her realising. It was easy to do on the busy street and she wasn’t really paying attention anyway. Allesia was lost in her own thoughts. Was she thinking about the flowers I had sent her. I had been going to send her red spider lilies but that had just seemed too to the point. I didn’t want her scared and running to her family. I needed her charmed. It would make it easier for me.“Are you following me?”I started , my head snapped up to find her standing right in front of me. Surprised, I schooled my face into a confused smile.“Excuse me?”Standing there with her coffee in one hand and her other hand on her hip she continued to stare at me. “You’re following me.” She kept her voice low. Trying not to draw attention to us but failed miserably. People who looked like her
Is that her?” I asked. The man at my shoulder was leaning forward. His rank breath blowing across my face. I took a step away from him. I hated working with him and everyone knew it. He was an animal. And he always smelt worse than one. The breath from his lips was rancid., thanks to his rotten and crumbling teeth. His body odour wasn’t much better. And my nose wrinkled up. “Yeah” He shuffled closer still, giving me no choice but to hold my breath. “That’s her.” I watched as the girl moved across the college green. Her bag clutched to her chest and even from the distance that separated us I could tell she was pretty. Her blonde hair was whipping about her face as she hurried to get herself out of the rain that was coming down hard. “She’s a tasty little morsel, isn’t she?” I felt sick at his words. “She’s a kid.” I snapped before I could help myself. “She just turned nineteen, not exactly a kid. And that body.” He blew out a whistle and I almost gaged from the fumes. “Th...
