I knocked on his study door and waited, it was still early, so, I know Scott won't be there. Alessandro was usually alone in the mornings. Perfectly Scott-free.A gruff come-in made its way to my ears and I flung the door open. I stilled as I saw him talking on the phone with someone. He seemed tense, he always had a dark aura surrounding him but today it seemed darker.I made my way around his desk and he rolled his chair back, slightly turning towards me. I leaned my butt against the edge of his desk and watched him as he finished up his phone call."I have made it clear many times before, Moretti"Moretti... Ugh, even the way he says people's name is beautiful.I stared at his strong hands, they were so clean, veins protruded out of them, and the nails were perfectly trimmed. Even his hands are perfect. The same perfect hands that were between my legs yesterday night gave me the most amazing feeling in the world.I don't know where I got the courage from because the next thing I di
"Anastasia Costello"I smiled. "That's a beautiful name and your dad's?"I still asked even though I knew his father's name, I wasn't going to tell him that I researched on his family."Luciano Costello""How did they meet?"He let out a dry breath and stopped whatever he was doing. He looked at me with a sense of bitterness. Was I annoying him? He then opened his desk drawer and pulled something out, he placed it on his desk and looked at me."Take it" he ordered.I got off the couch and made my way to his desk. I saw my cell phone resting on his desk, I gasped and looked between him and the phone.My lips parted, "You trust me enough now?""No, but right now I need you to stop talking, so, I can work, Natalya. Take it before I change my mind."I squealed and picked it up before he could take it away. "But can I stay in here? I won't make a sound, I promise"He gave his head a subtle shake. "Fine"I walked back to the couch and unlocked my cell phone. I saw hundreds of notifications
I made my way downstairs and went straight to the kitchen. It was empty as Alessandro has fired the entire household staff even the cleaners. That is why it was incredibly silent today. I reached for a glass from the kitchen cabinet and filled it with water. I drank the whole glass in one go and placed it on the countertop.Thinking about if I should do what I was thinking of doing.I thought I was past my reluctance when talking about my desires but apparently, I'm not. I heaved a sigh and went upstairs again, eyeing Alessandro’s bedroom door I headed towards mine.Not knowing what to do, I glanced at the nail polishes on my dresser. I sat on my bed and chose a bright red color, it made me feel bold and confident like I could just burst through his bedroom door and please him the way he did to me. I carefully put the red nail polish on my nails, the color resembled blood like the blood that gushed out of that man's body. I fanned my hands out while my nails dried, blowing on them unt
"What are you really here for, Natalya?" he questioned.I pressed my lower body more into his erection. "I wanted to make you feel good"He breathed out a laugh and then gave his head a shake. "And how do you plan on doing that?"My gaze slightly dropped to his pants and then I looked back into his eyes, insinuating what I meant. "Just like you did to me..."My hands wrapped over his on my neck and I tried to take them off and he didn't resist, his hand trailed slowly down my body before it went back to the railing.Still caged between his body and the railing behind me, I dropped down to my knees at his feet. He looked down at me, his gaze darkened, heated, burning every single inch of my body.Excitement settled into the pit of my belly as my bare knees met with the rough surface. I looked up at him and smiled, both of my hands rubbing his thigh from over his slacks softly. My gaze then went to the striking bulge.With a trembling hand, I palmed his erection over the fabric of his p
I hadn't even made it out of his bedroom when a hand clasped around my neck from behind and Alessandro pulled me into his rock-hard chest. My back was glued to his front, he turned my head to the side and nuzzled his face into it, breathing in. He made a sound of approval, of satisfaction."Don't play smart with me, Angel"Then I felt his tongue slowly trailing up to my ear, my eyes closed involuntarily and my head lolled back, giving him more access. He pulled the skin between his teeth, nipping harshly. While his one hand kept me in place I felt the other one cupping my breasts. I moaned carelessly, I knew no one was in the house anyway, except for Scott but I don't care about him.Both of his hands left me and went behind my back where he slowly unzipped my dress. With a single tug, it fell to the ground and pooled around my feet. He then slowly unclasped my bra and it also followed the dress on the ground.I didn't want it to be one-sided again, while this man has seen me complete
My body felt so weak and tired after, it felt like this orgasm had taken all of my strength with it. My limbs felt like jelly as if they had lost form. I licked my lips and just lay on his bed.I didn't know what to expect next. Were we going to have sex now? Was he going to--- I furrowed my eyebrows as Alessandro got off the bed and strolled in the direction of the bathroom."Where are you going?""Shower" was all he said before he disappeared into the ensuite.A few seconds later, I heard the shower running. Too exhausted and sleepy to move and wrapped his blanket around my naked body. My eyelids felt heavy and I finally gave in to sleep......I woke up to an empty bed, the sun rays softly streamed in through the drawn curtains. I stretched my body to get rid of the grogginess. I was still in Alessandro’s room, in his bed but he was nowhere to be found.I got off the bed and padded to my bedroom. I brushed my teeth, showered, and dressed up in shorts and a t-shirt. I descended the
The door to my bedroom flung open and Sabrina wandered inside with a huge creepy grin. I placed a hand over my chest, my mouth agape at the sudden intrusion into my room."Hey, girl!" she wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug. "What's up, bitch?"I hugged her back because I had missed her. "You scared me!"She snorted and jumped on my bed. "I'm surprised that after living with Alessandro Costello for almost two months you still get scared of little things"I smiled and shook my head. "What brings you here?" I asked as I hopped on the bed beside her."Um, my birthday!"I gasped. "Happy Birthday, B!""Thanks, me and my girls are going out clubbing and I thought since you're one of my girls too I should invite you."I heaved a disappointed sigh. "I would love to, I have never been to a nightclub before.""Okay, then let's get you dressed up""But I can't..."She frowned. "What the fuck? Why?""Alessandro won't let me. He still doesn't trust me enough. I asked him if I can go to colle
For the first time, I noticed how different Sabrina and I are in looks. She is truly beautiful, she looked like a human barbie with that figure. Her dark black hair was shoulder-length, with plump lips, and big eyes. She was way too attractive than me.She strolled to my closet and I followed behind, she basically threw the clothes she didn't like on the floor. Her eyes landed on a beautiful light grey bodycon dress.Her eyes went wide with excitement. "This is the one! Change into this, please!"I reluctantly took the dress and lay it on the ottoman before I took off my shorts and shirt."Okay, hell to the no!" she said looking at me with a deep frown."What's wrong?""Where do you keep your underwear?"I pointed toward the drawer and she kneeled on the floor, digging through the door that had her full attention. She pulled out a lacy bra and panties that matched my dress and asked me to wear that underneath.Once, I put on the undergarments, Sabrina helped me into the dress and zipp
"I'm not bedding you before our wedding."She grinned. "When have you turned so old-fashioned?""Since my father wants me to give you the respect you deserve as my wife," I told her, glaring at her, letting her know that her presence wasn't fucking needed here.Her shoulders sagged, she tucked her hair behind her ears from both sides and sighed. "Do you not like me, Alessandro"I let out a breath, not this again. "I'm marrying you, aren't I?"She crossed her arms over her chest. "Not by choice! You're marrying me because it is expected of us.""Hellen, I'm in no mood to have this conversation with you right now. I just want to get some fucking rest."She glared at me and then stomped out of the room like a fucking brat she was. I sat down on my bed and held my head in my hands. My cell phone vibrated, I grabbed it and stared at the screen for a few minutes Evangeline.I picked up the call faster than I should have."Natalya?"I didn't hear her voice in return but a muffled sobbing. It
ALESSANDRO’S POVThe gunshot rang out the entire dining room. Everyone glanced at me and then diverted their gazes back to their meals not questioning me or my authority. The Russells seemed wary of my decision to kill my own men off.The truth is he had pissed me off two months ago and since then I have been trying to get my revenge. He had shown a desire to marryNatalya and that for some reason pissed me the fuck off.Leaning back, I rested a forearm on the table. Anger burned in my chest, I had to keep it in check so, I won't kill every single fucking person in here. And I really wanted to put a bullet in Paul Russell's head.Hellen's mother showed her distaste by glaring directly at me. Apparently, she did not like the idea of blood while she was peacefully eating her dinner. Why the fuck was she married to a Don then? I'm pretty sure Paul had done some pretty fucked shit in front of his family. It was the reason Hellen turned out to be a fucking walking disaster.In all honestly
It had been hours and they still weren't tired. I was tired, way too tired. I didn't have the energy to keep my eyes open anymore but couldn't close them. If I did they would scream at me, and slap me around.My eyelids felt heavy, I felt dizzy, and I could not hold my eyes open. I just couldn't... Slowly my eyes closed of their own accord. I tried, I tried so hard to keep them open but couldn't."OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES, BITCH"A stinging slap against my swollen, bloodied cheek. My teeth hurt, my jaw hurt, my ears were ringing, and every part of my body felt tender, it was bruised, busted, and bleeding. I have never experienced this much pain in my life before."I don't h-have the k-key..." I whispered on the verge of passing out.Another slap to my face.And then another."You don't get to pass out on us!" he snarled.His voice turned heavier, I tried to keep my eyes open but in the end, I lost the battle and succumbed to the darkness.I woke up and saw the empty cell. The men had fi
For the past hour, I have lain in my bed trying to make sense of what happened between Scott and me. Was it all there was to his friendship? Is that what he wanted all along? I couldn't believe it, I refused to believe that it was the only thing Scott wanted, from the past few weeks our relationship had been nothing but platonic.He never showed any interest in me, he treated me like you would treat your best friend.I picked up my cell phone from the nightstand and scrolled to his number. I contemplated if I should call him or not.As I was about to click on his number, a loud clattering sound from downstairs fell on my ears. I shot up from my bed, there was no one else in the house except for me. All of the household staff had gone home, maybe it was one of the guards.I swallowed as a feeling of unease crept up, I felt heavy footsteps coming upstairs. This doesn't feel right. Scared out of my wits, I clicked on Scott's number, it rang and rang but he didn't pick up. I again tried c
A MONTH HAD PASSED in a blink of an eye. I settled into my new life quite well. Scott regularly came to check up on me and the house staff. I now had a driver, a cook, and security guards by the gates. Sometimes I felt like he was the one pulling everyone's string but then I would shake that thought away.This is a Alessandro Costello free zone.I had grown closer to Scott, he had been nothing but helpful, yes, he had his annoying moments but other than that, I was glad that I moved back to my place. Sabrina had asked for forgiveness way too many times and I had forgiven her. If it wasn't for her I still might be stuck in that life... with him.I will never accept the fact that a tiny, little part of me missed him.I was trying to learn how to cook and right now I was busy preparing a birthday dinner for Scott. My cook was a middle-aged woman named Eleonora, she was Italian but knew how to make all types of cuisine. She was teaching me how to cook and right now she was the one helping
I scrubbed it again and again and again but it just won't get cleaned. The stubborn bloodstains were starting to get on my nerves.I didn't go to sleep last night. I couldn't, I kept thinking and thinking and thinking about so many things, so, now here I was. Cleaning. I decided to tidy up the house myself. And for the last hour, I have been trying to remove the bloodstain from the floor.Ugh!Annoyedly, I threw the washcloth onto the stain and held my head in my hands. "I hate this...""Woah!" Scott strolled down the stairs, looking at me with confused eyes. "What the fuck are you doing?""Cleaning..." I mumbledHe frowned. "Why?""Because..." I heaved a sigh. "I couldn't sleep... I just wanted to do something and turns out I suck at cleaning!"His eyes lit up with amusement and he laughed "Alessandro has sent me your bank details, I'll hire a team of cleaners to take care of this, replace the furniture and I think it's time I buy a new cell phone."Hearing his name did something to
I saw a deep frown etched on Alessandro’s forehead. He brushed two of his fingers against his lips quite aggressively. "I have no use of these things, you can take them, they are yours anyway""No, thank you, Don Alessandro. I don't want anything of yours"He picked up something from his desk and threw it at the wall behind me. I didn't flinch, I didn't jump. I just sat there with indifference."What the fuck do you want?"You...A tiny voice echoed in my head. I had no idea where that thought had come from. I shook my head and looked back down at my lap.He doesn't want me the way I want him. He is now an engaged man. He wants her... the woman who wore his ring.He said that little girls like me fall in love and I had denied it, told him that I won't but what I didn't know was that little crush I had on him since I got here, blossomed into something else way before he ever touched my body."I want to go back to my home and I never want to see you again"He smiled but it wasn't a norm
"I'll be outside, go on..." Scott announced once we reached Nikolai's home.I fiddled with my fingers resting on my lap. Nervousness crept up from the pit of my belly, I didn't want to see him, face him or talk to him after what he had done. I wanted to get away from him and never see his face again.His words resonated in my mind. His shouts, his monstrous dark eyes."JUST STOP WITH YOUR FUCKING ALESSANDRO BULLSHIT! CALL ME DON ALESSANDRO LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! FUCKING GIVE ME THE RESPECT A DON IS ENTITLED TO"A shiver ran down my spine and I chewed on my bottom lips to keep the tears at bay."You weren't saying that three nights ago when begged me to fuck you like the whore you are"He humiliated me, insulted me, and then left me alone for a week just to get engaged to some other woman. The woman he loved. That is why he didn't want me in the first place and I was too dense, too stupid to throw myself at him like that.I mustered up some courage and nodded at Scott before I finally ste
"Your father is asking for you," Scott said to Alessandro.I breathed out in relief as I saw Alessandro' walking past me and towards Scott. He stopped before him and said something to him under his breath. Scott nodded and responded to his words before Alessandro walked back toward the hall."Scott, can you please drop me off at my parent's place," I asked him nicely. I didn't have any other option and he and Sabrina were the only two people I knew here. I was not going to ask Sabrina as she had lied to me and I was furious at her for that.He blew out a breath. "Sweet cheeks, we will go to Alessandro's home first and then I'll take you anywhere you want to go, alright?"I stared at him. He was as bad as Alessandro, I didn't trust him, and the fact that he had suddenly started to treat me better made me even more cautious of him. He and I have never seen eye to eye since the day we met. There was a reason behind the sudden change in his demeanor, I needed to know what it was but right
