CARLY'S POVIt was already evening and I was quite exhausted.I asked Giovanni to drive me back.Getting back to the mansion, I met Alessandro with Sandra, she was placing her hand on Alessandro's arm, and it looked like they were talking. I wouldn't deny the fact that I felt a pang of jealousy.In that annoyance, I walked right past them expecting Alessandro to notice my presence and talk to me, maybe ask me why I spent so much in a day, but he didn't even say a word to me.THIRD PERSON'S POVAbout Ten minutes earlier, Alessandro had come back from work just to meet Sandra seated in his living room."I don't remember inviting you for anything." He said the moment he saw her."That's not the proper way to greet your fiancée." Sandra said with a sly smile."State your business here, I'm in a hurry." He said to her."Uhm, I just wanted to catch up with my future husband." Sandra replied, batting her eyelashes. Alessandro rolled his eyes at her obvious attempt at flirting. "Let's cut to
THIRD PERSON'S POVAT THE FAMILY HOUSE,Tyrion was settling in the house expecting his brother to come and plead with him to go back to the mansion, but the reverse was the case.First there was a knock on the door followed by the doorbell. Thinking it was his dear old Cousin Alessandro, he smiled, and hurriedly left to open the door only to be hit by the scene of Marco, Francesco, and Leonardo standing In front of him with no sign of Alessandro."Where's your Boss?" He asked disappointed."We are here to get you." Marco responded.Hearing this, Tyrion immediately tried to close the door shut, but he was already overpowered as the three men forced themselves in a way they won't hurt him as they would rather not anger their Boss."You will have to go back and tell your Boss that I'm doing him the favor he asked of me by staying away, so he shouldn't send any of you here again to get…"Before he could finish his sentence, Marco signalled at Francesco and immediately Tyrion was lifted fr
THIRD PERSON'SWhile they drank, Alessandro couldn't help but steal glances at Carly, who was lost gulping her wine like she was nervous or something.When he noticed that the bottle was almost empty, he texted Marco to bring extra bottles of wine.Shortly after, Marco arrived with two bottles of alcoholic wine.So drunk, Tyrion fell asleep."He must have been tired, take him to his room." Alessandro ordered Marco, who had been standing there since he delivered the wine."Ok Boss." He said and walked over to Tyrion even though his heart was beating so fast like it was earlier that day when he went to bring him back to the mansion, although he tried so hard to hide it.He took him and held him close, easy.Having him up close was different, filled with a lot of emotions.He had felt this way towards his Boss's cousin since the first day he met him, then he was just a college student and the most carefree person he had ever met.He found everything he did cute and attractive, but at the
THIRD PERSON'S POVMarco sat back on the small chair he was sitting on before, opposite Tyrion's bed."Lie beside me tonight." Tyrion requested, his eyes fixated on Marco."Are you sure you're not drunk?" Marco asked, hoping he is not about to make the worst mistake of his life, taking advantage of a drunk person."No, I'm aware of what I'm doing." Tyrion responded as he sat on the bed."Hope you won't regret this by tomorrow?" Marco asked."I won't." Tyrion responded smiling."Don't worry, my cousin won't find out." He added.Marco hesitated for a moment before joining Tyrion on the bed. He knew deep down that if Tyrion was really serious about how he feels for him as he is serious, sooner or later, Alessandro would find out, but he didn't mind loosing his job or anything for him."Spend the night with me." Tyrion requested with a smile on his face, taking him off guard."That would be too risky, but don't worry, I would leave once you fall asleep." Marco responded."No, please spend
THIRD PERSON'S POVThe next morning, as Alessandro woke up, he quickly got dressed and left the room.He had a lot of thoughts going through his mind, he couldn't believe what he had done.Alessandro had never been one to break the rules, but there was something about Carly that made him act out of character. He knew he shouldn't have slept with her, especially since it went against the marriage contract they had signed just a few weeks ago. But there was no denying how charming she was.Everything she does was captivating, and he couldn't hold himself anymore.Recalling the event of the night before, he couldn't help but believe she hadn't been with anyone before, and that made him feel even more guilty.As he walked down the hallway, he bumped into someone.*******Meanwhile at Tyrion's room, the moment Marco woke up, he felt a sense of regret wash over him. He knew that what they did was wrong on so many levels, but at the same time, it felt right being with Tyrion like that.He sa

Tyrion said smirking.Carly stared at him."What's perfect about that?" Carly asked."Nothing." Tyrion responded smirking as he stood on his feet."I could totally use this to my advantage." He said still smirking as he walked out of Carly's room.Carly spent the whole day daydreaming alone, while Alessandro spent his fighting his thoughts.That evening, Tyrion was to attend a business meeting.He was already dressed and ready for it.Walking out towards the garage, he sighted Marco.Seeing him alone, he rushed towards him.The moment Marco sighted him, he turned to leave but Marco was fast enough to catch up with him and drag his arm to himself."Why are you avoiding me?" Tyrion asked panting."You really need to think about yourself now, Sir." Marco responded not showing any firm of expr
THIRD PERSON'S POVGetting to where she was seated, he smirked at her.She looked up at him with a sly grin on her face, clearly knowing what he was thinking."You know what, I think I could use some company tonight," he said smoothly, taking a seat next to her.The woman leaned in closer, her perfume intoxicating his senses. "Oh really? What kind of company?" she asked seductively.Alessandro chuckled darkly, his hand reaching out to grab hers. "The kind that will make you forget everything," he replied with a smirk.The woman's eyes sparkled with excitement as she leaned even closer to him. "I like the sound of that," she purred before taking his hand and leading him towards the exit.As they walked through the casino, Alessandro couldn't help but feel a sense of power surge through him - he was in control of his feelings once again. As they got to the exit, he stopped and looked straight at Leonardo who was walking behind them alongside Giovanni."You will have to take care of the
THIRD PERSON'S POVAlessandro ignored her questions as he took a step in and aimed for her lips kissing her so passionately.Carly kissed back got a moment until it hit her, she got a taste of alcohol, and she thought, "He's doing all this because he's drunk." And that pissed her off.She pushed him away immediately."What are you doing?" She asked her eyes almost tearing.Alessandro's eyes widened, startled by her sudden rejection and the look on her face.He couldn't tell if this intense emotions are as a result of the alcohol. He took a step back, his hands still hovering in the air where they had been cupping her face just moments ago. He looked into her eyes, unable to say a word.He took two steps closer, their faces inches apart.He leaned closer his lips almost on hers, he waited a little for a reaction but since she didn't, he planted his lips on hers softly."Fuck it." Carly thought to herself as she kissed him with so much passion.She wanted this, she had craved for this
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

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
