Chapter 16Warning: some violent scenes!Alessandro's POVThe next morning I went out early, I arrived at the warehouse where Johnny had Donatello, and I grew angrier. Antonio tells me that we arrived and that he helped me into the building. “AHH, good thing you arrived early because I would have killed this son of a bitch myself,” Johnny says. "Stop joking around; now, bring me to him," I insist. Johnny leads me to where Donatello is tied up. “Haha, this is the so-called mob who wants me? Psst, as if I'm going to tell you anything”, Donatello mocks. “Johnny, will you shut his trap?” I asked him. Johnny hits Donatello, and I hear every hit: “If I were you, I would shut it.” Johnny says. “Now, I want to know why you wanted to take my wife.” I asked calmly. “I don't know what you're talking about”, came Donatello's reply. I nod my head, and Johnny hits him again. “I will ask again, why did you want my wife”.“And I will tell you again. I don't know what you're talking about, and y
Chapter 17WARNING!! SEXUAL SCENE!!!Lisa's POVI woke up with arms around my waist, holding me tight. I look up and start tracing Alessandro's head lightly with my fingers, then his lips, then slide my hands to his chest and trace his eight-pack. I love him so much that I will do anything he asks me to do. I wonder what he did yesterday; it looks like he was angry at something, maybe some work project. I wish he could share some of his worries with me.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Suddenly, my hand was snatched and held tightly by Alessandro. “You do realize what you're doing to me? Especially downstairs?” Alessandro asks in a husky voice while pointing towards his manhood. I tried to stiffen a giggle but failed. “O, so now you think it's funny, Mrs. Mancini?” “Well, that wasn't my intention at all, I promise," I told him shyly. “MMM, I think I am going to punish you now,” Alessandro says in a low, husky voice near my ear, then he starts t
Chapter 18Lisa's POVThe next day, I felt sad because today Alessandro leaves for a few weeks. I don't know how I will survive; he has become everything to me in such a short period of time. I decide to make him breakfast, and I quickly get up and get dressed. I decided to make pancakes with syrup. I know it's Alessandro's favorite; I'm almost finished when I hear Alessandro and Lilani talking. I take the dishes to the table, where everyone is already waiting. “This looks delicious.” Alice compliments. “Thank you,” I said as I helped Alessandro with the dish, then went and sat next to him. Everyone was quiet until Alessandro spoke. “Sophia and Gabriele will be here this afternoon; they say they don't want to leave you alone, even though I told them Johnny and the guys would be with you.”“O, that's thoughtful of them,” I said as I finished my breakfast. “How late are you leaving?”"After having breakfast," Alessandro replied. I stood up and started clearing the table, and just as
Chapter 19Alessandro's POVLying in the hospital bed, my eyes covered with bandages, I silently pray for the success of the operation, hoping that I will regain my sight. I think about Bianca and realize she's just after my money and that she doesn't love me; maybe it was God's plan for our engagement that was canceled and that I met Lisa. Everybody says she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen, Maybe I won't think she's attractive; not everybody has the same taste. She has a beautiful voice and a beautiful personality, but I want more in a woman than just that. We have been married for almost five months, and I still don't know what my wife looks like, but if everything goes well, I will get to see her very soon. I got so much time to think about my past and future that I realized I needed to get my life in order. I'm not getting any younger and want a child of my own. Antonio visits me every day to help me wash and shave. They are satisfied with the treatment I receive
Chapter 20WARNING!!! SEXUAL SCENE!!!Third-person POVThe next day, Lisa got up and realized Alessandro had already left. She quickly went to take a shower, dressed in skinny jeans and a blue crop top with her white Vans, and put her hair in a high ponytail. She then went to the dining room and saw everyone already seated. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," Kevin greets her. Alessandro watches her carefully and smirks when he finds her checking him out. “Good morning, everyone. Sorry, I'm late,” Lisa says, walking over and taking a seat next to Alessandro. "Finally, I can satisfy my hunger," Kevin whines. Lisa rolls her eyes at Kevin and says, “You know you should go on a diet because I can see your stomach getting big.” Lisa smiles sweetly. “Hey!” Kevin proudly points to his manhood and declares, "A Ferrari deserves nothing less than a luxurious garage." Lisa takes a piece of bacon and throws it at Kevin, saying, “You're such a pig.”"Let's put an end to this before it turns into a
Chapter 21WARNING!!! SEXUAL SCENE!!!Third-person POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The following morning, Alessandro and Lisa took a shower together. Alessandro washes her hair and then her back. He spins her around and kisses her, grabbing her ass. Lisa throws her legs around his torso, grabbing his hair. Alessandro slides inside her, then picks up his pace as he slams in and out of her. “O fuck,” Lisa screams. “Oh fuck, baby!” Alessandro screams with every thrust. Soon, they both find their release and wash themselves again.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“We are going on a tour this morning; we can grab breakfast at one of the local restaurants," Alessandro tells Lisa as they get dressed.

Chapter 22The next few days, Alessandro kept himself busy. He goes to his head office early and comes back late. One night, he came home early, just as the others went down for dinner. “Ali! Your home.” Lilani shouted and went to hug him. “Hello, princess,” Alessandro says when he picks her up. “Do you remember Father and Daughter Day tomorrow?” The little girl asks him “Yes, that's why I'm home early tonight; I will never forget it”.Lisa watched them as the two talked. She missed him this past week. She notices he hasn't shaved in a while, but he looks good with the small beard that's appearing on his face. She wonders why he ignores her just after the week they spent together. Maybe he just has a lot of work to do. Alessandro walks in with Lilani in his arms. “Hello, Lisa. How was your day?” He asks her calmly. “Hey, it was fine; thank you and yours?”“Same old, same old.” He takes his seat, and Maria brings the food. They start to eat, but Alessandro never says a word durin
Chapter 23Lisa was having breakfast the next morning when Antonio came to her and told her she had a phone call. Lisa frowns and walks to the phone, “Lisa Mancini, hello.”“Lisa!” she hears her aunt talking on the other end. “I called you to let you know that Grandpa was in an accident last night. Grandpa's condition is very serious.” Her aunt explains. “Thank you very much for letting me know. I will return to South Africa as soon as possible.” Lisa informs her aunt. After that, she hung up the phone and turned around with tears in her eyes. Alessandro walks up to Lisa and sees her crying. “Lisa, what's wrong?” He was concerned when he noticed the tears in her eyes. “I just received a call from South Africa. My grandpa had an accident last night. I will have to go to South Africa immediately.” She tells him. “I'm sorry to hear that, my little one,” Alessandro says sympathetically. “I will arrange for us to leave for South Africa within the next two hours.”“I appreciate your th

Chapter 49Alessandro tells Lisa that he will be back late. “I'm going to meet up with the guys. Go and take a rest.” He kisses Lisa and then leaves with Kevin.“They are waiting for us with everything we need,” Kevin informs him. The drive to the house feels like an eternity for Alessandro. When they stop in front of the house, Johnny and Jake are already waiting for them.“Where are they?” Alessandro asks as soon as he climbs out of the car.“Follow me,” Jake replies, looking at Johnny. Alessandro notices how angry and disappointed Johnny looks but decides not to ask. They walk inside the basement, where three chairs stand with lights showing each one.“Alessandro! Baby! You came!!” Bianca shouts as soon as she sees Alessandro.“You thought that I would come to rescue you?” Alessandro sneered.Bianca looks confused at him. “What are you talking about, baby? They called you to come and get me!”Alessandro starts laughing. “You think that I will come to you? Haha! This was all part of
Chapter 48Alessandro takes Lisa into his arms and whispers. “Why didn't you tell me where you were?” Lisa didn't answer, too afraid.“I'm asking you a question! Why didn't you tell me where you were when you remembered who you were?” He asks in a low, dangerous voice. Lisa shook her head and opened her eyes. Alessandro was now staring down at the triplets.“I'm sorry, baby,” Lisa whispers and notices he is still not looking at her, and it hurts so bad.“Lisa?” Sophia broke the tension between them.“O my! It's you!” Sophia ran to Lisa when she saw it was Lisa. Lisa hugs Sophia while keeping her eyes on Alessandro.“We missed you so much.” Sophia cries.“I'm sorry, Sophia. I wish none of this ever happened.” Lisa whispers with tears flowing down her cheeks. Sophia let Lisa go and stepped aside, so the others could greet her. Lisa hugs everyone and cries out of happiness."Hello, my dear; you don't know how much we have missed you," Grandma tells Lisa as she hugs her."I have missed you
Chapter 47Everyone sits around the dining table, curious why Alessandro wants to talk to them so urgently. “Ali!” Lilani greets him as soon as he enters the dining room. “Hey, little one.” He went and kissed her on the head, then looked around the table and noticed everyone he cares about was there. “Thank you, Maria; this looks delicious.” Maria smiles at her boss. This was one of Lisa's favorite Lisa has shown her how to make “vetkoek” and mince. No one talks during dinner; everyone is wondering what Alessandro wants to say.After dinner, Alessandro asks them to follow him to the living room. “Thank you all for coming. What I'm about to say will come as a shock to you but no one must know about this.” Alessandro looks at them, and they nod. "Well, first thing, I'm taking you all to a safe house. Bianca wants to hurt everyone close to me.”“What are you talking about?” Gabriele interrupts. Alessandro gives him a look to shut up. “As I was explaining, Bianca hired someone to kill
Chapter 46Johnny and Jake soon arrive at the bar. “Hey, guys, what's so urgent?” Jake asks, his eyebrows raised. Alessandro shows them to sit down. “Can we get you something to drink first?” Kevin asks nervously because he knows they will have his head. Alessandro watches as Kevin gets nervous. He realizes he's trying to buy some time before dropping the bomb. A waiter brings more drinks and as soon as she leaves, Johnny asks, "Okay, will one of you tell us what's going on? Kevin looks like he's going to faint any second now.”Kevin laughs nervously. “Well, then the short version is... um, Lisa. She's still alive.” Johnny and Jake exchanged looks and then looked at Kevin as if he had just grown two heads. “What are you talking about?” Jake asks, breaking the silence. “I found out Bianca wanted to hire an assassin to take Lisa and the boys out, so I asked one of my guys to pretend to be an assassin. We got a body out of the mortuary and made the body look like Lisa. On the day of t
Chapter 45A few months after her funeral, everything seemed lifeless for him. The house felt empty without Lisa's presence. Alessandro could smell her everywhere and still can. In the kitchen and their bedroom. The pillows cover everything that smells of Lisa.After that day, he saw the SUV outside the graveyard He called Johnny to tell him, but Johnny just told him that he imagined that he was seeing things. Maybe he's right; he needs to focus on the children instead of making assumptions about who visits the graveyard.Alessandro sits in his office, looking outside from where he can see Rome. What is life if you lose the one person who made life worth living?“Mr. Mancini?” He slowly turns around and looks at Leonardo. He has been quieter than ever. It's starting to worry the people close to him. Alessandro has been walking around the house and office like a ghost.“Yes?” Alessandro replied.“It's been three months, Sir, and we are worried about you. You must...”“Yes, it's been thr
Chapter 44“Miss? Miss, can you hear me? What is your name?” A woman in white asked.“Her name is Annabelle Jackson, like I told you.” A man she's never seen before tells the nurse. Why can't I remember my name? The young lady thought."Sir, may I inquire if you two are related?" The nurse asks again. “Yes, she's my sister.” The man tells the nurse while looking at the girl. “Okay, you almost died on us, but the doctor managed to pull you through. You have been in a coma for a week now.” The nurse tells her. “The doctor will be here shortly to check on you.” With that, the nurse left, leaving her and the man alone. “So you are my brother? Do I have any other family?” She asks him. He nods and says, "Yes, your older brother." We have a younger sister too; her name is Ariana Jackson she's 23 years old. My name is Sebastian Jackson. I'm thirty-five years old. Our parents died over ten years ago in an accident. I am the one who raised you and Ariana.” Sebastian tells her. The young

Minutes later, three limousines arrive at the mansion. Everyone steps into the limousines. Alessandro and Sophia have triplets with them. Alessandro dreads this day. He wishes Lisa was here with him and the boys. How will he raise them without her? How must he continue without her? He never thought he would love someone as much as he loves Lisa. She was his sunshine during the stormy, dark days in his life. She's the reason he wakes up every morning, but now it all seems impossible without her by his side.The family arrived at the funeral location where the funeral would take place. The atmosphere not only looks gloomy but also feels gloomy. Everywhere he looks, there are no smiles. “I hate this. Why did she have to die.” Alessandro was tough as he went to sit in front. The flowers are white Lilies, as this was Lisa's
Chapter 42Three months have passed since Lisa gave birth to the triplets. Everything has been going great; the boys are angels. Lisa thought it would be hard to have triplets, but they proved her wrong. Alessandro is a loving father and helps Lisa a lot during the night. He will help Lisa feed and change diapers. Lisa is grateful for a husband like him. Lilani couldn't believe that her sister had three babies in her belly and wanted to know if she had stolen the other two. She fell in love with them instantly. The guys mocked Lisa, and she's got problems coming when they are all grown up. She must admit she's outnumbered by the four Mancini men in her household. Grandpa was excited when he heard that all three were boys and promised to come and visit soon. “Maria I'm going to go to the shop to get milk and diapers for the boys. Will you be alright with them alone?” Lisa asks her. “Si, Mrs. Mancini, we will be alright,” Maria assures her boss. “I won't be long; Mr. Mancini will be h
