CARLY'S POVThe moment I stepped out of the bathroom on my towel, I saw Alessandro seated on my bed with his legs crossed like he owns the place."You're late." He said without even looking in my direction."I'm sorry, I lost track of time." I said still rooted in the ground."What were you doing the whole day?" He asked as he stood on his feet and walked towards me."Noth…noth… nothing." I stuttered.He gave this I know you're lying look, and I won't deny I felt a little scared.I didn't know what to expect."Your sister came today." He said as he took two steps away from me. "Get dressed I'll be waiting for you downstairs." He added immediately like the first sentence wasn't important. Turning his back to me, he said, "And wear something nice." I nodded and he left.The moment he did, I quickly walked towards the wardrobe, searching for the perfect night dress.I finally settled on a black silk dress that hugged my curves perfectly. I brushed my hair and applied some light makeup
CARLY'S POVAfter the dinner session, Alessandro's mom asked him to give me a quick tour of the mansion which I was excited about."I don't have time for that." He responded, but after the fiery look from his mom, he quickly accepted, and I couldn't help but giggle.There was actually someone in this world that could give him orders and he would obey.As I giggled, he gave me this killer look and I immediately composed."Thanks for the tour." I said before we even started.The tour was a quiet one, he didn't even talk to me, he just led me from one room to the other and then to the gallery where we spent almost all the time we had left before he requested we go back home."Meeting your mom wasn't bad at all." I said as we entered the car.He didn't say anything, just acted like he didn't hear me."You can't even congratulate me on a job well done." I snapped as he kick-started the car.He turned towards my direction, "You didn't do so bad." He said before he turned and drove off."Is
THIRD PERSON'S POVHearing those words Tyrion shyly turned to the other side smiling, but his face could be seen through the not so bright light in the room.Marco held him tight, "I'm glad you came tonight." He said."I'm glad I did too." Tyrion responded, smiling before he turned and kissed Marco's lips softly.At that moment, Alessandro barged in to them kissing, his eyes narrowing in anger."What the fuck is this?" he barked, his voice filled with rage. Marco jolted up from the bed, only in his boxers, his heart racing as he realized what was happening."What are you doing?" Alessandro snapped, his face contorted with fury."Marco has nothing to do with this, it was all me!" Tyrion said, his voice raised as he stood on his feet wrapped in the bedsheets.Alessandro stormed towards Marco burning in rage, the moment he stood face to face with him, he slapped his left cheek hard. Tyrion immediately rushed towards Marco."You're my fucking bodyguard, you're not supposed to be sleeping
THIRD PERSON'S POV The next day, Alessandro woke up to his cousin seated next to him staring at him intensely."What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat up."To continue the discussion from last night, as you requested."His cousin responded with this mischievous smile."First of all, what are you planning on doing to Marco?" He asked, still looking at him."You don't have to know about that. Just go away." He said as he pushed his brother aside gently in an attempt to get out of the bed."Ok fine, if you do anything to him, I'll tell mom that your relationship with Carly is a sham and a means to get her off your back. "And I mean it, I will really tell her." Tyrion threatened with a smile.Alessandro glared at him."You asked for it." Tyrion responded, smiling mischievously as he stood up."Think about it." He added as he walked out with his head high and a smirk in his face.The moment Tyrion shut the door, Alessandro's cellphone rang.He walked towards it and picked it up, it
THIRD PERSON'S POVMarco sat in his room pondering on what just happened before Tyrion walked in with a grin."So about my earlier request, which of the restaurants do you want to go to?" Tyrion asked as he sat next to him."Your brother's reaction was a bit weird and unexpected." He said with uttermost confusion on his face."Nah, his reaction was totally normal. Told you I threatened him, and you thought I was joking." Tyrion responded slyly.Marco sat still in silence thinking the possibility of the whole thing."You don't need to worry about that, I told you I will handle it." Tyrion said interrupting his thoughts. "All you have to think about now is the perfect restaurant for our perfect date." He added tapping his head.He touched his hair shyly with a little smile on his face."Look your best." Tyrion added with a wink before he left smiling.Marco smiled a little as he watched him leave, he just can't believe how carefree yet bold a person can be.For some reason, every time h
CARLY'S POVAfter a long time of wallowing in my emotions, thoughts, and wrapping Alessandro's portrait, I decided to get myself a bottle of water.As I headed towards the stairs since I felt like exercising a bit.As I took the last stair towards the kitchen I heard the entrance door open.Lifting my head, I saw Alessandro.He was… His right shoulder was bleeding profusely as he was led towards his room by Sammy and Zane. Then there was Giovanni, who seemed to be shot in his forearm. He was aided by about two guards, I actually don't know their names, but I've seen them around, and they were all followed by Leonardo who held a surgical kit.I immediately rushed to his aid panicking."What… what… what happened?" I stuttered as I helped him the couch.He didn't say a word, he just grunted in obvious pain."Why didn't you take him to the hospital, why did you guys bring him back here?" I yelled in confusion.I can't even tell why him getting shot was stressing me that much.This is not
CARLY'S POVI sat on my bed with my hands holding on to my chest.I can't really explain how I was feeling, whether I was hurt, scared, or just worried, but I was sure that I was at the edge of exploding from all the emotions I feel."Why would he expose himself to death like that?" I find myself asking."He's a grown man, and he knows how to take care of himself." I assured myself as I stood up with the thought of checking on him.As I walked down the hallway, I bumped into Tyrion, and he didn't look happy one bit."You saw him right." I asked and he nodded."But don't worry, I'm used to it." He said with a famed smile, and I could tell he was lying."I will…uh… I'm going to check up on him." I kinda stuttered with a forced smile before I left.I got downstairs, but he wasn't there, I took the stairs but as I got to the second floor and was about to take the stairs to the third floor, I saw Alessandro coming out of a room with Alessandro and Marco.I rushed towards him, "How are you
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
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
