Being born into the family of Richard Davison, the CEO of Davison Hotels, was no fairy tale life for Carly, as expected. From the moment she was born, she was forced to walk in the shadow of her elder sister, to the extent of pursuing the same course in college, all in an attempt to fit the mold her family had created for her. Carly was seen as the black sheep of the family, the imperfect daughter who deviated from their expectations. But her fate would take an unimaginable turn when, after a failed business deal, her father made a desperate decision. He sold her to Alessandro De Luca, the infamous mafia lord known for his ruthlessness. Alessandro was notorious for his cold heart and the expectation was that he would treat Carly poorly, as nothing more than a possession. Carly's world shattered as she found herself thrust into a dangerous realm she never asked for. However, fate had different plans, and everything took a new turn when Alessandro, a man known for his detachment and indifference, started falling in love with her. Against all odds, an unexpected bond formed between them. As their connection deepened, Carly discovered a side of Alessandro she never knew existed.

I had to keep my horny self at ease. The intense kissing w
CARLY'S POV Hearing him say those words did something to my heart, I tried hiding the fact I was blushing, but I doubt I did a good job about that.He was staring at me and I couldn't tell what he was thinking, the waiter walked up to us with a menu and I quickly took it from him to cub my embarrassment.Looking down at the menu, I got so confused. I don't understand a thing.What type of food are these and in what language.I kept looking at the menu, I couldn't look up at Sandro, I was afraid he will look me in the eyes and know the fact I was literally unable to order a thing from the menu, I couldn't pronounce the words."I will have a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino wine, and a plate of chicken Florentine Pasta." Alessandro said even without looking at the menu.I look up, "I will have the same thing." I said with a smile."Seems like you come here often." I said.He smiled, "This is one of Tyrion's favourite restaurants, he always says it tastes like home even though he doesn'
THIRD PERSON'S POV Carly stared at the shower head, the water flowing down her body doing little to cool the embarrassment she felt. She peeked around the bathroom, silently praying for some miraculous discovery of a spare towel. No luck."Damn it!" She cursed.With a deep breath, she tried to gather her courage. "Just ask him. It’s no big deal." She mutters to herself, but the idea of Alessandro seeing her in this naked state made her stomach churn."It's not like he hasn't seen you naked a lot of times." She assured herself.As she turned the water off and walked slowly towards the door."No, no, no." She said, repeatedly walking back."Oh wait, I will just show my head." She said with a smug smile as the idea struck her."Wise Carly." She said, patting herself.Just as she was about to walk back towards the door, she heard a knock accompanied by Alessandro's voice."You forgot to take a towel with you." He said. Then, the sound of his chuckle made Carly shy."Uhm, I did?" Carly
CARLY'S POV The moment I felt his arm grab my hand, my heart immediately skipped a beat."You should stay." His voice sent shivers down my spine.My eyes widened in fear maybe, but I wasn't that afraid, I was mostly shocked.Stay? Why does he want me to stay? My heart was racing, and I wasn’t sure if I could trust my legs to keep me standing.“Sandro…” I began, my voice barely above a whisper.He didn’t let go of my hand. Instead, he pulled me closer to himself gently. His intense gaze was fixed on mine, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. The way he looked at me wasn’t like before. It wasn’t just concern or obligation; or even this look he always gives me that made me feel more like a burden, it was something deeper, something I didn’t dare hope for.“Why do you always run from me?” he asked softly, his voice low and captivating.“I’m not running,” I replied, my voice shaky as I tried to look away.“You are,” he countered, his fingers brushing against mine as he held my hand tigh
THIRD PERSON'S POV While Alessandro and Carly arranged her things, Carly caught Alessandro stealing glances at her.She felt her heart beat increase whenever she catches his soft gaze on her, she tried not to be moved, but her heart betrayed her, she found herself yelling inside.She felt the way Alessandro sees her has changed, she believed it was as a result of her carrying his child, men do change when their babies are involved, she smiled.While Alessandro walked up to her to take the third suitcase she was pushing towards the wardrobe, his phone rang.He picked it up immediately."I will be there." He said after a while of listening."I need to go now, don't touch or do anything until I return, if you want anything, and you want to eat anything, anything at all, call Susanne on that telephone beside the bed." He said as he took the suitcase from her and kept beside the wardrobe.Carly looked around, "But I need to arrange my things, I won't have peace until I…""No, you don't do
AT JUDY'S APARTMENT Judy walked in on Carly who had been standing by the door Impatiently."What are you doing here?" Just asked, surprised."How did it go?" Carly asked impatient."Let me in first." Judy said as she removes her jacket.Carly made way for her."Now tell me, how did it go?" She asked again as she took her jacket from her.Judy paused while Carly waited in anticipation for what she has to say."Get yourself ready for the wedding of your dreams!" Judy said out in excitement.A big smile broke out on Carly’s face. “I told you he’s not as bad as you think.”“That doesn’t mean I trust him,” Judy said, narrowing her eyes. “But I’ll give him a chance—for your sake.”Carly hugged her sister tightly. “Thank you. That means a lot to me.”Judy pulled back, looking her in the eyes. “But if he ever gives me a reason to think he’s putting you or the baby in danger, I won’t hesitate to take you back.”“Fair enough,” Carly said with a grin.*********TWO WEEKS LATER CARLY'S POV Goi
THIRD PERSON'S POV Judy was waiting patiently in her apartment with Carson when Carly knocked.She immediately rushed and opened the door."What happened?" She asked as she hugged her.Her eyes caught Alessandro who was right behind Carly then she frowned."He took you again didn't he?" Judy asked her eyes glaring at him."I would be going now, carefully think about the offer." Alessandro said before he turned and left."He wasn't involved in my disappearance." Carly said to her sister with a weak smile."I knew you would say that, but must be the reason somehow." Judy said as she led Carl inside."The doctor said I'm fine, the baby is fine too." Carly said trying to change the conversation."And you're trying to avoid the question." Judy said."Hii Carson." Carly said as she sat on the couch."Glad that you're ok." Carson responded.She smiled, then stood up, ignoring her sister's rants."I'm going to have my bath and sleep, I'm feeling sleepy." She said, patting her hair."Have fun
Meanwhile, outside the Batheon's mansion, Alessandro's car and the one containing Leonardo, Giovanni, and Vincenzo screeched to a halt. Marco's vehicle and an extra vehicle that had about six members of Alessandro's bodyguards pulled up right behind them. The two men, Alessandro and Marco stepped out simultaneously, flanked by bodyguards. Marco's face was so firm, more like he couldn't wait to leave a bullet in Houston's brain, while Alessandro's cold, piercing gaze surveyed the mansion's exterior."I had to come with extra hands." Marco said to Alessandro as he signaled the guards to surround the place.Alessandro nodded, "That's thoughtful, but I don't think we would be needing them, I already have a plan in progress. "He said. Marco smiled, one of the reasons he had loved working with him so much was that he was so smart, and that's how the guards were able to survive without any one of them dying on a mission."Any sign of her?" Marco asked, his hand resting on the gun holster
THIRD PERSON'S POV The moment Alessandro stepped out of his office, his phone rang. It was Marco.He immediately answered it, even though Marco no longer works for him, he always helped with vital information."Something's wrong," Marco said the moment his call was picked."I don't know if you've heard, but I just got bad news from one of our Moles in the Baratheons family." He paused. "Carly's kidnapped, he said it was Houston, and he was taking her to his family mansion." "I Just got the news too." Alessandro responded as he walked out of the building with Leonardo, Giovanni, and Vincenzo.Tyrion also followed suit while he was still on-call with Judy."I will be coming with you." Marco said."Tyrion would have my head if I allow that." Alessandro responded as he entered the back seat of his car."It's about Carly, he wouldn't mind. I will be careful." Marcy insisted as he hurriedly left his café to the parking lot.Out of all Alessandro's rivals, Houston Batheon irritated him th
CARLY'S POVI nervously checked my appearance in the mirror one last time before grabbing my purse and heading out the door. Tonight was the night I had agreed to meet up with Max, the guy I had been texting with online for the past few months.We had chatted online for a very long time now, and it was finally time to take the leap and meet in person. He had suggested going to a popular nightclub in the city, and I didn't even think twice before accepting. I couldn't resist the excitement that bubbled within me.Standing in front of my room door, I arranged my hair one last time. "I'm in college now, even though I still live with my parents, I have the right to go out," I said to myself as I took a deep breath."Relax, this is not your first time sneaking out. You're already a disappointment. What's worse than that?" I added, realizing the fact that no matter what I do, my parents will never be proud.I checked my cellphone for a message from the Uber driver I had ordered earlier on. ...
