The Alliance A-hole brother
LEONARDO'S POVIt took me a few seconds to realize I wasn't in my own bed. Instead, I was in the hotel room, butt naked. As the sleep-induced fog cleared my mind, the memories of last night came crashing down on me like a load of bricks. I groaned inwardly. Fucking orgies.Two of the team's cheerleaders were sleeping soundly beside me, their naked bodies tangled together and barely covered by the sheets. I guess there were more, but they left after the orgy ended and I was dragged inside this room by these two demanding more sex. My head was pounding like someone had knocked me out with a hammer. I swam in a lake of vodka last night. One thing that I fucking hated about myself was that I think too little of the consequences. Enzo was right, my promiscuity was getting out of hand.I picked up my phone from my pant pocket that was discarded on the floor and saw several missed calls from Nonna. A sharp sense of guilt shot through me. I walked put my boxers back on and walked towards the
The Alliance Knock you off the pedestal
ROSALINA'S POVSelena, Elizabetta, Isabella, and I were lounging at the poolside of Selena's sprawling mansion, soaking up the warm rays of the golden sun. Yes, Selena Perez was my rich best friend. Her parents ran a real estate company, so yeah. Filthy rich.Isabella was applying suntan lotion on my bare back, while her sister was floating on an inflatable unicorn bed, eyes closed as she soaked up the sun. Selena was laying on a sun lounger, beside Sammy who was fanning her using a hand fan. Sometimes I thought her parents gave birth to Sammy just to be her slave. Poor boy."Go get us some watermelon juice," Selena said with a dismissive wave of her hand. Sammy groaned and tossed the hand fan away before running to the kitchen to fetch us some juice.Just as Sammy returned with our drinks, Selena's phone buzzed from the side table. She picked it up and her expression turned from relaxed to horrified within seconds."What's wrong?" I asked, sitting up from the sun lounger."It's Trist
The Alliance Orphans
LEONARDO'S POVFinally, home.After parking my red Ferrari in the driveway, I gathered my backpack and made my way toward the Salvadori mansion. The exterior of our family mansion was as grand and opulent as it could get. With tall white pillars framing the entrance and a beautiful landscape of luscious green garden surrounding it that was especially taken care of by my Nonna. The mansion was painted in a pristine white color, with large windows that overlooked the garden.I pushed the front door open and was greeted with our warm and inviting foyer. The walls were painted soft cream with ornate golden moldings lining the ceiling. The floor was made of the finest Italian marble, with a decorative rug strategically placed in the center. In the center of the foyer was a grand chandelier, which illuminated the space with a warm glow.The first thing I looked for was Nonna. Sasha, our housekeeper, told me that Nonna was sick and Lilliana Russo was the one who took care of her medication a
The Alliance Delusional
ROSALINA'S POV I waltzed into the crowded cafeteria with two cold lattes in my hands, scanning the room for Selena. She said she would wait for me. That was when I spotted her with Tristan at the corner booth. Tristan was in tears as he practically begged for Selena's forgiveness. The audacity. "Such a loser," Elizabetta muttered as she stood beside me. "I know, right?" Isabella said, crossing her arms to her chest. I couldn't believe he had the nerve to show up here after cheating on Selena with the whole cheerleading squad, let alone ask for forgiveness. Selena looked like she wanted to crawl under the table and hide from the embarrassment Tristan was giving her. He was making a fucking scene so Selena would give in. Like hell, that was happening. "Please, Sel! Take me back!" Tristan dropped to his knees and hugged Selena's waist. "I won't do it again. I promise. I love you!" No, he didn't. His career was ruined for good and knew no other girl would want to commit to him after
The Alliance Fatherless
ROSALINA'S POVI was laying on the edge of Lily's bed, watching her change out of her black dress. She had just returned from Elena Salvadori's funeral with a band-aid on her knee."How did you get hurt?" I asked, pointing at her knee. She was in her underwear and her white bra did not match her blue panties."I fell," She said squeamishly. "The floor was slippery because of the rain.""Yeah, blame the floor for your clumsiness," I said, playfully rolling my eyes.Lily was as socially graceful as a giraffe on roller skates and her coordination was about as smooth as sandpaper. I gently prodded her plump tummy. It was like a small marshmallow pouch, too irresistible to poke."Ow! Stop that." She said, stepping away."You got some belly fat there," I placed my chin in my palm and swung my legs back and forth while lying on my stomach on the bed. Although Lily was on the smaller side, her body was noticeably softer compared to mine as I leaned towards a more slender physique. As a ballet
The Alliance Like siblings
LEONARDO'S POVThe workshop owned by Pablo resembled a dimly lit cave, where the walls were adorned with various tools and shelves were stacked with sections of guns. An acrid scent of gunpowder and gun oil lingered heavily in the air. The workbenches were covered with disorganized tools and components, while the floor was blanketed with sawdust and brass casings. It was like standing in a museum of deadly weapons and I loved this place.Pablo, the gunsmith was a gruff-looking man with a thick beard who greeted me with a nod as I approached. He motioned towards a table where several guns were laid out haphazardly."These are the ones that have been tampered with," he said, his voice gruff. "Go ahead and test them out yourself to see if they're workin'." I picked up one of the Kalashnikov and examined it closely, a smirk forming on my lips.The weapon had been disassembled and reassembled, but it still seemed to be in good functioning condition again after Alessandro messed it up and
The Alliance Date night
ROSALINA'S POVWhen I rang the bell, Laura, Selena's Mom, answered the door with a beaming smile and a flashy red dress, leading me to assume that she was headed out someplace, probably a date night."Hey, Mrs Perez, is Selena here?" I asked."Hi there, sweetie. Yes, Selena's upstairs in her room. She's been waiting for you," Mrs. Perez said, still smiling. "Oh, by the way, you look GORGEOUS in that dress!" I said, making a perfect OK sign with my hand."Aww, Thank you, sweetie!" Mrs. Perez replied with a laugh. "I have a special dinner with my husband tonight, so I wanted to dress up a bit. Now, go on upstairs and see Selena."I made my way upstairs and knocked on the purple door and Selena opened the it and pulled me inside, bursting with excitement, she eagerly hugged me, exclaiming, "Guess what just happened!" Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm."What happened?" I asked, smiling at her contagious energy."Leonardo called me, and he asked me out on a date!" Selena exclaimed, jumpi
The Alliance Jealousy
ROSALINA'S POVThis was torture. I was tired of hearing after 'how in love' Selena was with Leonardo. It was unbelievable how fast she moved on from the man she claimed to have loved for three years to someone she went on just three dates with."Leo is the ideal boyfriend!" Selena exclaimed, her eyes clouded with a pink, dreamy mist as she sighed. "The most open-minded, chill guy I've ever met and he was the best sex I've ever--""Enough!" I snapped, feeling like hurling my latte to the damn wall. "If I hear you gushing about how 'amazing' his dick was one more fucking time, I'm going to burst like a piñata at a wild party!"Selena's eyes widened in shock at my outburst."I'm sorry, Selena--" I cut myself off, taking a sharp breath through my gritted teeth. "But I can't take it anymore. I can't stand here and listen to you talk about Leonardo like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. You barely know him, Selena. You're just infatuated with him because he's new and exciting. But

The Alliance Epilogue 2
5 YEARS LATER... LEONARDO'S POV I reclined in one of Enzo's plush office chairs, half listening to my cousins drone on about business. My gaze landed on Enzo's hands as he gesticulated, and I had to bite my cheek to keep from laughing. His nails were painted a glittery pink and decorated with Hello Kitty stickers. When he caught me staring, Enzo shrugged. "Gigi ambushed me this morning." "Daddy-daughter time looks good on you, brother," I teased. Enzo shot me a wry look. "We'll see how you handle it when your little hellion grows up." I chuckled thinking about my spirited son. "Adriano keeps things exciting, for sure. Just yesterday he finger-painted a mural on his bedroom wall using Rosalina's lipstick." My cousins howled. "Takes after his old man," Luca said. "In all the best and worst ways," I agreed. Right on cue, my cell phone rang. I didn't have to check the caller ID to know it was Adriano's teacher. "That'll be Mrs. Dawson now. Let me guess - he set off stink bombs in
The Alliance Epilogue one
LEONARDO'S POV(A few months later...)A piercing cry split the night air. I groaned, clinging to the last remnants of a pleasant dream as little Adriano's wails persisted."Your son is awake," I mumbled, still half asleep.Rosalina stirred slightly. "Before sunrise, he's your son," she quipped drowsily.I chuckled at the familiar Lion King quote, then dragged myself reluctantly from the warm bed. I shuffled over to the crib and gently lifted my bawling son into my arms. We had named him Adriano, after Rosalina's father."Shhh Adriano, go back to sleep," I soothed, rocking him gently. His tiny mouth rooted hungrily at my chest, latching onto my nipple. I winced. "Wrong nipple, buddy."I retrieved one of the bottles of breast milk Rosa had pumped earlier and offered it to Adriano. He sucked greedily, his cries subsiding as I held him close. I smiled down at my son, my heart swelling with love and pride. He had his mother's beautiful hazel eyes and my strong Salvadori nose and chin.I
The Alliance Just married!
ROSALINA'S POV I stared at my reflection, scarcely recognizing the radiant bride smiling back. The strapless gown hugged my body perfectly, the pink floral accents on the skirt matching my rose tiara."Oh, you look absolutely beautiful!" Lily dabbed at her eyes as she helped me smooth the skirt.I couldn't stop smiling, joy bubbling inside me. After everything, this day had finally come - my wedding day! My Nonna stepped forward, clasping my hands warmly. "Stellina, I'm so happy for you. You chose well, my dear. That boy loves you with his whole heart."I embraced Nonna tightly. "Thank you. For understanding, and supporting us." She stroked my hair lovingly. "Always, il mio tesoro."A loud commotion outside made us glance at the door. I heard Leo's voice rising insistently."Let me see my wife, damn it!"Isabella shot me a bemused look. "Somebody's impatient to get this show on the road."I laughed softly. Trust Leo to toss tradition aside. My heart swelled with love for my soon-to
The Alliance Mother
ROSALINA'S POVI clutched the address in my hand, the edges creased and worn from the countless times I'd unfolded it. Antonella DiMarco - the stranger who used to be my mother. "You sure about this, babe? No one would blame you if-""I'm sure," I cut him off, my voice tight. "I gotta do this, Leo. I can't..." My throat closed up for a moment. "I can't move on until I look her in the eye and get some damn answers."He nodded slowly, jaw tight. I could practically hear the argument raging in his head about why this was a bad idea. But one glance at my expression and he just sighed, holding out his hand.I shifted in my seat, trying to ignore the growing pressure in my bladder. The sun was starting to set, casting an orange glow across the desert landscape blurring past. Leo kept his eyes fixed on the road, one hand resting gently on my knee in silent support.I knew I should've gone to the bathroom again before we left the last rest stop an hour ago. But nerves had killed my appetit
The Alliance Revelations
LEONARDO'S POVThe dank basement reeked of blood and fear. My uncle Giovanni was tied to a chair, swollen and battered from the beating he had gotten. But I felt no pity for the traitor.My cousin Luca's eyes were wild with grief. Losing his twin Lucio had destroyed him. Now seeing his father Giovanni revealed as a turncoat was the last straw."Alright, talk," I said coldly to Giovanni. "Spill why you teamed up with Andrae against your own family."When Giovanni stayed silent, Alessio slammed a fist into his gut. Giovanni wheezed in pain as Luca flinched, choking back a sob."Last chance," I said casually as Giovanni fought for breath. "Give me the details, then you get a quick death for ratting out the family."Fear flashed in Giovanni's eyes. He started rambling about how Andrae had approached him and offered control of the family if Giovanni helped kill my brother."Lies!" Giovanni cried desperately. "He used me! I never wanted Vincenzo dead, you gotta believe me!"Disgust roiled t
The Alliance Ares and Aphrodite
LILLINA'S POVI cradled Enzo's limp hand in both of mine, pressing fervent kisses to his chilled fingers. The steady beep of the heart monitor was my lone comfort as I maintained my bedside watch. His chest rose and fell rhythmically, but he remained locked away in unconsciousness. "You have to come back to me, Enzo" I whispered, my vision blurring. "Our daughter needs her father." I swiped angrily at the tears streaking my face. I had to be strong for our child, though the effort threatened to shatter my fragile composure.A knock interrupted my swirling thoughts. Carlo entered, his expression carefully neutral. "Any change?" I shook my head mutely, a fresh wave of tears spilling over. Suddenly, Vincenzo's hand twitched feebly in mine. I gasped, leaning forward intently as his brow furrowed. "Enzo?" I choked out. "C-can you hear me?"With agonizing slowness, his eyelids fluttered open halfway, still clouded by anesthesia. But they locked onto mine with recognition that flooded my
The Alliance Written in blood
ROSALINA'S POVThe courthouse appeared all too soon, a hulking stone edifice that filled me with dread. Andrae dragged me forcibly up the steps, his grip leaving blossoming bruises on my arm. I scanned the empty foyer frantically, praying for some means of escape. At the far end, an elderly clerk sat stamping documents behind a high desk.Andrae strode toward him purposefully, shoving me ahead of him. "We need to be married immediately," he barked.The clerk's eyes widened at Andrae's imperious demand, flickering uncertainly to my tear-stained face. "I'm sorry, sir, but there are certain requirements..." he began weakly.In a flash, Andrae had a pistol aimed at the man's forehead. "The only requirement is that you do as I say," he growled. "Now."The clerk paled, raising his trembling hands in acquiescence. "Y-yes sir, right away." He fumbled with shaking hands to ready the license and certificate, the gun still leveled at his head.Once the documents were prepared, Andrae scrawled hi
The Alliance Brick by brick
VINCENZO'S POVChaos erupted as bullets flew in all directions. Years of simmering hatred between the Salvatores and Armandos had finally boiled over, transforming my brother's wedding into a bloodbath."Get the women and children to safety!" I bellowed. My men rushed to usher the terrified guests away from the hailstorm of lead.I scanned the pandemonium desperately for my pregnant wife. "Lily!" Where was she? There - a flash of her yellow dress across the courtyard. I sprinted towards her, bullets kicking up shards of brick at my heels.She stood paralyzed behind an overturned table, one hand instinctively cradling her belly. I shielded her body with mine and urged her towards the exit. "We need to move, now!"We scrambled into a sheltered alcove. Her eyes were wild, face streaked with tears. "Oh God, the baby-""You'll both be alright," I soothed. I peeked out - we weren't far from an escape route. I steeled myself. "On three, we run."I took her hand in mine. "One, two, thre-"The
The Alliance Bloody red wedding
ROSALINA'S POVI slipped into the marble restroom, the swell of violins and chatter fading behind the heavy door. Gripping the gold-flecked countertop, I steadied my breathing, willing my roiling nerves to quiet. Today Leonardo pledged himself to another while our unborn child grew in secret within me.The door creaked open and my reflection paled. Mia. An awkward tension thickened the air as we hovered, over the betrayed bride-to-be and the 'other woman'. To my surprise, her dark brown eyes held no malice. Only sympathy. "Hey, Rosalina," she said gently. "Are you okay?"I attempted a weak smile, my hands trembling. "A bit unwell, thanks." A massive understatement. I smoothed my dress self-consciously, the pink chiffon Leonardo adored. Mia's gaze flickered over it. "That color suits you Wanna rest a while in my suite?"Giving a weak smile, I nodded. I followed mutely, sinking into an ornate chaise lounge as attendants fluttered around Mia. The opulent chamber with its marble friezes
