CARLY'S POVI giggled at Judy's question."Alessandro's fiancée." I replied mockingly."Great, now there's two of them." Sandra said to our hearing the moment she cat walked towards us."Who is she?" She asked her eyes darting at me. "The new maid? She looks as filthy and disgusting as you." She immediately added mockingly.Before I could say a word, Judy had already landed a slap on her left cheek.She had always been like that, short-tempered even over the slightest thing."Don't you ever call my sister disgusting you… you, whatever. Just stay the hell away from my sister." She yelled while I watched her in shock and satisfaction."You two must regret this." Sandra said holding on to her left cheek as she tried making a call.I took Judy by the hand and walked to the other couch and sat her down."Someone needed to put her in her place." Judy said as she sat aggressively on the couch.I sat beside her smiling when suddenly Sandra glared at us and walked out her face fuming with ange
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
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 POV I stared at the ceiling as I imagined a lot of scenes in my head.Having a beautiful family with Sandro, spending beautiful moments together, going on dates and him treating me like his world revolves around me.I couldn't tell when I slept off, but I know I woke up to Judy yelling."The heavens would fall the day you would wake me up properly without yelling." I said as I rubbed my eyes."Get up and get ready, you and your group members have a project to work on remember." "Shoot! I totally forgot." I said as I fit off from the bed in a haste."What's the time?" I asked as I rushed into the bathroom."It's 8 O' clock already." Judy responded."I'm late." I said as I hurriedly took my bath."I'm leaving, breakfast is all ready, and it's set on the table." Judy said before I heard the door shut."Have a beautiful day." I yelled, even though I doubt she heard me.The moment I was done having my bath and getting ready, I hurriedly ate my breakfast fast of pancakes and choco
ALESSANDRO'S POVGetting to the hospital and confirming what I was told, I felt a lot in a short span, which was strange.I gave it a lot of thoughts as I worked in one of my family's numerous hotels all day, even though it was so difficult to concentrate. All I wanted was to confirm if the child was mine, a part of me really wanted the child to be mine.I didn't just want the child, I want Carly too, her absence making me loss my mind and I needed to have her back. Back in my space, back in my life.The moment the evening came, I left the building in a hurry, heading straight to her apartment.I didn't expect her to welcome me with open arms, but I was willing to give it a try, if the child is mine, then I deserve to be in their life.I drove myself, she doesn't always like the idea of moving with bodyguards, and I wouldn't want to do anything that would ruin my chances of at least saying hi to her.I checked my car's….for the necklace I had gotten her month's back but didn't know h
CARLY'S POV"Promise you won't tell Sandro." I said to Judy as I took out my pinky finger."I promise." She said sealing it with her pinky finger."But you have to tell him one of these days." She said. "I think he deserves to know.""I don't think I need to, we no longer have anything togetherin fact, we never did. Keeping this child is my decision, and my cross to bear, if he cares about me, he would have been here." I said pouring out my pent-up anger."Hey, it's fine. Relax, we won't tell him ok." Judy said patting my head gently.At that moment, a doctor's voice interrupted."You will be discharged soon, don't forget to always come back for checkups." "Sure she will." Judy responded before I could open my mouth to respond.The doctor looked at me, and I immediately knew she wanted my confirmation."I will come, I promise." I said with a smile. She smiled back before she left.I couldn't but rub my belly gently. The fact that I was pregnant felt like a dream.I was both excited
CARLY'S POV We finally got back to the house by 8:45 pm."I'm so exhausted." I groaned as I sat on the couch dropping the shopping bags I was with on the floor."I need to be messaged." I tiredly said as I relaxed my back.Judy took care of everything including the snacks' preparation while I got the couch ready for movie night.The night went better than I expected, the movies were great, and the snacks were irresistible as I kept eating them hungrily.In the fun of the moment, I ended up sleeping in the same bed with Judy.******The next day was great too, Judy helped me prepare for my new job.I was to always report to work by 3:00 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and by 8:00 am on Saturdays, perfectly matching my class schedules and I suspect it was Judy's doing."Don't forget to smile the moment you get to the office, you would be working with five more people so be jovial." She said in the evening as she prepped me for the next day."Got it." I paused. "Wait, how do you kn
CARLY'S POV "Take us here." Judy said as she showed the taxi driver something from her phone."Alright ma'am." He responded politely before hitting the road again, since he had stopped to listen to my sis.I stared out the window in silence before Judy broke the silence."Have you heard from Mom and Dad recently?" She asked.I looked at her, "No, have you?" I asked back."Not really." She responded as she adjusted herself on the seat. "But uhm, mom called about three days ago, but I didn't answer the call." She said. I was speechless at this point, nothing to say. "They've been texting me to come back home recently, and that's one thing I won't do." She added."I'm not surprised." I said as I looked out the window. Judy sighed deeply and leaned back into the seat. "They are not even feeling bad for what they did, they think being in the papers for fastest growing company would make me come back, I would rather eat dirt and live in rathole." She vented.I smiled, I was the one who
THIRD PERSON'S POV As Alessandro stepped out of his office with Leonardo walking behind him, he met Sandra who was dressed in her flashy purple mini gown with sparkly heels. Her hair was decorated and was parked in a bun.She was not coming alone as she was escorted by her bodyguard."Hey Ally." She greeted slyly.Alessandro gave her this intense look before he looked away, "I'm busy." He said in a bid to dismiss her.He wasn't ready for her shenanigans as he was already not feeling so good."I knew waiting would pay off." She said as she placed her hand on Alessandro's shoulders. "I knew you weren't serious with her." She said with this wide smile on her face."Go home, I'm not in the mood for your drama." Alessandro said as he gently pushes her aside.Sandra, who was so not, giving up walked aggressively behind him."What if we go back to the way we used to be, I'm willing to forgive you." She said out ignoring the stares from the workers as they entered the elevator.Hearing this,
