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
CARLY'S POV While we drove back, I took out my cellphone and texted everything that happened to Judy, I could hear her shrieks from her texts and emojis.{I knew he loved you, he was just putting up a front.} She texted.{I'm pretty sure you didn't.} I texted back smiling.{Whatever, } she sent back with multiple laughing emojis.{Just know I'm your chief bridesmaid that day.} She texted immediately.I blushed.{You will walk me down the aisle right?} I sent.{Of course, I would do anything for you.} She texted back.It's the truth, even though she didn't seem like that when we were growing up, she had always been doing things for me.{Gotta go, have fun, ok.} She sent, the beep sound disrupting me from my thoughts.{Yes I will.} I replied with a laughing emoji.{Thank you.} I sent almost immediately.********I heaved a sigh of relief as I sat on the bed.Sandro was taking off his clothes, so I used that time to freshen up. 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
