CARLY'S POVThe moment Marco opened the entrance door and I stepped in, I sighed, a beautiful young lady.She seemed a little bit older than I am, but she looked so beautiful.The moment she saw me walk in, she stood up and walked towards me with this grin that one can mistake for a friendly grin.I tried walking past her, but she stopped me, and ordered Marco to leave us."Who are you?" She asked boldly like she owned the place.I looked at her head to toe without saying a word.For Marco to obey her like that, it's either she's Alessandro's sister or maybe cousin."Are you Alessandro's sister?" I asked naively.The moment I asked her that question, she laughed at me so hard."Sister? Wow. I see he hasn't told you about me yet. I'm his fiancée, and I know the name Sandra rings a bell." She said."No it doesn't." I cut in."Hmm, you seem to be the slave he got recently. Um, you don't look like a slave, though." She said, walking round me slowly like she was checking my looks and outfi
CARLY'S POVHe kept looking at me intensely, like he was reading everything I was thinking about."I know deep down you don't want to leave, but you don't have to be worried about that because you're mine." He said boldly to me.I wanted to push him off, but I couldn't, it felt like my arms were weak, and I was lost in his intense gaze."I…I…I need to go." I stammered as I tried to squeeze myself out."Have I really fallen in love with him." I said to myself as he left me and walked back to his seat."It can't be. This is crazy, I can't possibly fall in love with someone who took me against my will." I panicked inside me as I stood up."Focus Carl, focus. You have a chance to get outta here, focus on that and don't mess it up." I reminded myself.I quickly made my way to my room, as I entered I heard my phone ring.I took it and it was Judy calling.I reluctantly picked it."Are you not coming today?" She asked the moment I took the phone to my ear. "I really need to talk to you." S
CARLY'S POVI couldn't help but cry out the moment the scary looking man locked the door.I've been captured before, but this one was more fearful. At least, Alessandro gave me a beautiful room and a massive bed to sleep on, but in this dark room, I have nothing apart from a dirty disgusting old mattress, no clothes to change to and worst, no restroom, and am I supposed to pee on the mattress?I'm also pretty sure I saw blood on it before I was pushed onto it by those huge, mean men in deceiving suits.Alessandro was much better than this man who I don't even know his name, and I'm sure it's not my Dad that sent him.The few minutes I've spent in here feel like hours and all I could hope for was a way out, even if the price I'll have to pay is being Alessandro de Luca's Slave forever because that's much better than this. ALESSANDRO'S POVIt was dark and stormy, and it had been hours of my inability to get through to Marco.I had already sent my men off searching for him and Carly.Gi
THIRD PERSON'S POVSeeing how sacred Carly was, and the tears that flowed down her cheeks, he tried to put her at ease, "You know, you don't need to cry, you're safe now." He said with his hand firmly on the bleeding spot in his arm. "And you should be tired of crying anyways, your face is all swollen.""Am I really safe? I don't even know that man and why he kidnapped me. Come to think of it, how did you even know where I was held! Are you a party to this? Wait, wait, wait, was I Kidnapped, because of you? God! I should have known staying with you was not safe either. What if they kidnap me again, what am I going to do." She kept whining throughout the drive as Alessandro sat quietly ignoring all her whines."Should I turn left or right?" Carly asked the moment they got to a T-junction.“Left." Alessandro groaned in pain."I'm so, so sorry, am I driving so slow? Should I speed up?"Alessandro grunted as be managed to take out his cellphone from his back pocket."Call Leonardo." He
CARLY'S POVThose words broke my heart so much, more than Max's betrayal did.I didn't even know what I was thinking that I had to get myself to fall for an obvious Playboy.I'm literally not even up to the type of girls he dates, but why did he have to kiss me, he kissed me first only to act rude afterwards.I watched him walk out without even looking back at me once.Heartbroken, I left the bathroom and laid on the bed, still on my towel.I immediately took my cellphone from under my pillow and called Judy.The moment she picked up, I busted out crying.I can't tell why I did that, and I couldn't control the tears."What is the matter, Carl?" She asked and with the way her voice sounded, I can tell she was afraid I had gotten into some kind of trouble.Hearing her ask that, I was unable to get myself to even say a word, I kept on crying with the phone on my ear."What is it? Where are you, let me come and get you." She said again with concern in her voice."I'm tired, Judy, I'm real
THIRD PERSON'S POVAs early as 5:00 am the next day, Alessandro, who was getting ready to leave for an early flight, got a knock on his door even after he had ordered all of them not to disturb him."Come in." He commanded and immediately Giovanni walked in."There's some crazy lady who has been banging on the gates asking to be let in. She's yelling, asking us to let her visit her sister." Giovanni boldly reported."And you can't handle that?" Alessandro said, disappointed, his eyes darting at him."Um, Boss, we have asked her to leave countless times, but she proves to be stubborn.""Mr. Davison sure doesn't know how to tame his family." Alessandro muttered in boiling anger, but to Giovanni's hearing."Go get the girl and meet me outside." He said firmly as he made his way out towards the door."Sure thing Boss." Giovanni said as he walked behind him out of the room.Getting to the door, Alessandro headed towards the elevator while Giovanni took his left to Carly's room.Carly was s
CARLY'S POVFor the first time in my life, I wished Judy would stay with me longer.As I watched her walk through those giant gates, tears freely flowed down my cheeks.Just a few seconds after Judy had left, Alessandro's car speedily drove in.I wiped my tears with the back of my palm. "What's up with him?" I muttered to myself as I stood In front of the mansion's entrance door.I watched him get off the car and walk towards me."Follow me." He ordered, and I feared I've gotten into some kind of trouble.I followed him, trying so hard to cover up my trembling body and my intensified beating heart.Finally, we entered a luxurious sitting room with plush leather furniture.Alessandro motioned for me to sit down, and I complied, still feeling uneasy as I looked around, tensed. That was when I noticed the grand fireplace, I didn't even know that has been there since."You have to sign this." Alessandro said, interrupting me from my thoughts.I looked at him confused, "Huh?" I did reflexi
THIRD PERSON'S POV"Besides you're the reason my life is being threatened here." Tyrion said again, looking straight at his cousin's face. Seeing that none of his excuses were getting to him, he had to devise another means."Ok fine, maybe I'll go back and then end up with a bullet in my head and…"Feeling defeated with the strong urge of always protecting his little brother, Alessandro reluctantly allowed him to stay."Fine." He cuts in. "But you're staying on one condition." Alessandro said with this stoic look on his face."Ok, let me hear it, bro." Tyrion said as he rested his back in victory."You don't disturb my peace, and those guards aren't staying in my house with you." He stated."You said one condition, but you gave me two conditions." Tyrion replied."It's either you take it or leave it, you don't disturb my peace and those guards don't stay here with you." Alessandro repeated in a more serious tone."Noted bro, I'll ask them to leave immediately and as for your peace, I
CARLY'S POV"Hey, Carl." Tyrion said, smiling the moment he looked at my direction.Marco walked over to the sitting room while he waited for Tyrion."Hey." I responded with a fallen countenance."Is anything the matter?" He asked."No, nothing." I responded."I hope you didn't fight with Sandro again." He said."Nah, it's nothing." I smiled."I have something to say to you." He said with a broad smile."Uhm, what is it?" I asked with a weak smile."Marco and I are moving out by the weekend, my mom already accepted Marco, so we would be having a small engagement ceremony too." He said with this big smile I envied, if only I was this excited about my wedding."That's great news." I said, genuinely smiling about the news. "I can't wait for that day." I added."Yeah, me too." He said, still smiling."I'm happy your mom accepted Marco." I said."Yeah, isn't she the nicest." He laughed and I laughed too.The thought of living with just Alessandro and no Tyrion to lighten up the mood struck
THIRD PERSON'S POV The moment they arrived at the mansion, Alessandro found his way to the elevator with Vincenzo's help."You can leave now, I will find my way." Alessandro said as they got to the corridor."Alright Boss." Vincenzo Bows before he left.Alessandro staggered down the corridor, heading towards Carly's room.The moment he got to the door, he knocked non-stop until Carly who was getting ready for bed had to open the door.The moment the door was opened, he walked right in, heading towards the bed, as soon as he got to the bed, he bumped on it."What are you doing here?" Carly asked, but before she could say anything, Alessandro was already fast asleep.She sighed, wondering if he had stopped earlier just to party.She walked over to the side of the bed where he laid, adjusted his legs that were off the bed, before she pulled his shoes, removed his jacket, and opened the first button of his shirt for comfort.She sat beside him for a while, admiring him as he slept."You
THIRD PERSON'S POV During the drive, Alessandro's phone rang. He picked it up immediately. "Hello Boss, the attack earlier was actually planned out for you, it was aimed at eliminating you." Vincenzo, one of the guards said from the other side of the call. "Who is responsible?" Alessandro asked, and by the tone of his voice, one could tell he was furious. "It's Mr. Lombardi, I think he's still holding a grudge against you." Vincenzo responded. Hearing this, Alessandro ended the call. "I think it's time I eliminate him before he causes any more harm." Alessandro muttered, but to Carly's hearing because she fidgeted to the word eliminate. "You… you… you are not planning on killing someone, are you?" Carly stuttered. Alessandro looked at her for a while without saying a word before turning his gaze towards the window. "Maybe you should report it to the police since you've already found the one responsible." Carly added. Hearing this, Alessandro scoffed. At that moment Carly's
CARLY'S POV The day went better than I expected, I met with Judy and she seemed so happy.She couldn't stop talking about how nice and sweet her boyfriend is, she showed me a picture of him and I won't deny the fact that he looked cute.I told her that I was going to move in with her in less than nine months time after the contract is over, at least until I find my own place.She was happier than I was on hearing the news. I was actually not happy because a part of me wanted to still be with Alessandro, that part of me longed for it all to be real. I just wanted a happy life with him."Are you ok?" Tyrion asked as I entered the car for us to leave."Yes," I responded with a famed smile."Your sister is as nice as you are." He complimented.I smiled hearing that."Yes she is, but you wouldn't want to be on her bad side." I said as he kick-started the car.He smiled as he drove off, I looked back Marco and Leonardo were driving behind us. They actually kept their promise throughout our
CARLY'S POV THE NEXT DAYI woke up to a knock on my door. I can't even remember when and how I fell asleep."Come in." I said in a dull tone as I rubbed my eyes.The door opened, "Tyrion, any problem?" I asked as I shifted to seat on the edge of my bed."What about Sandro?" He asked looking around like he was looking for someone."I don't know, haven't seen since yesterday after the ceremony." I responded as I ran my fingers through my messy hair."Oh, I thought… Never mind." He said suspiciously. "How was your night?" He immediately asked."It was ok." I responded."Going anywhere today?" He asked."Like I'm allowed to go out without your brother's consent I barely even attend classes." I muttered but to his hearing."We would be going out today, just the two of us so we can bond. Since you're now officially my sister-in-law it won't be bad if we decide to know each other." He suggested with a smile.It sounded so tempting but on a second thought, I had to decline."I don't think yo
THIRD PERSON'S POV Once the wedding ceremony was over, Alessandro and Carly took separate cars back to the mansion.Carly who arrived first quickly left to undress and rest.Getting to her room, she quickly removed her jewelries and clothes before she rushed into the bathroom for a warm bath. After the bath, she got dressed in her purple silk night dress and quickly laid on the bed as she felt all the exhaustion she had felt earlier absorbed by the soft bed.Tyrion, on the other hand, was in his room lost in thoughts when the door opened, revealing Marco."Are you avoiding me?" He asked as he shut the door behind him.Tyrion immediately stood up."No, no, I'm not." He immediately responded as Marco kept looking at him like he was peering through him. "Ok I was, but… it has nothing to do with you. It's just my mom, she…" "It's fine, I understand." Marco responded as he hugged him tight that they could feel each other's heart beat."You don't need to tell her about us until you want
THIRD PERSON'S POV Stepping out of the building, he took a deep breath."Are we leaving now, Boss?" One of his guards asked."Yes." He responded. "Take me to my mother's place." He added as he walked towards the car he came with.During the drive, he was restless and lost in thoughts that he couldn't even realize when they got to his mother's mansion."We are here, Boss." The guard who had been standing with the door wide opened finally said.He was immediately brought back to reality, "Ok." He plainly said before he got down from the car and headed inside.At the entrance, he was welcomed by his mom, whose joy knew no bound."What about your wife to be, She didn't come with you?" His mom asked as she escorted him inside."Are we supposed to be seen everywhere together?" He asked rhetorically.His mom paused for a while before she responded, "If possible, yes." Alessandro heaved a sigh as he sat on the couch, he sat lost in thoughts for a while, his mind wandering around but unable
THIRD PERSON'S POV The moment their eyes met, Sandra glared at him furiously, and immediately he knew she came for trouble.He noticed she may be drunk too, as her catwalks were involved stumbling steps, exaggerated swaying of her hips, arms flailing for balance, and occasional bursts of laughter as she headed towards him."You can't possibly be getting married to your maid!" She yelled as she kept stumbling towards him in fury."And who allowed you in?" Alessandro asked as he headed out ignoring the fact she was trying to meet up with him."That is not the issue here, Alessandro." She lashed out. "I've spent all my life waiting for you to finally get married to me as our fathers agreed, but here you are slamming a wedding on my face!" She yelled as she walked hurriedly behind him."Why your maid!" She shouted.Alessandro stopped dead in his track without even looking back at her he said, "I don't remember introducing her to you as my maid."Besides I don't think that's any of your b
CARLY'S POV Immediately we left the building, Vincenzo and another guard I couldn't recognize were outside waiting in front of another car."Take her straight home." Alessandro ordered before he entered the Lexus we came with, and the guard that drove us here drove off like they were in a hurry.The moment they were out of sight, I entered the back seat of the car, hoping he doesn't come back another gunshot wound.The drive was a silent one and in no time we were in the mansion and I quickly headed to my room to have some rest since I was so exhausted.I got back to the room, and as I laid on the bed facing the ceiling.Countless thoughts came running through my mind, but the most pressing one was the urge to finally do what I want to do anytime I want to.=TWO MONTHS LATER=It's already a day to the grand wedding Alessandro's mom has been planning.It was all so fast and sudden.Alessandro and I didn't want the grand wedding, but she pleaded with us to grant her that one wish.The
