Alessia_____What did I expect? Rodion will always protect me even when he is not around. I knew he wanted us to work, our relationship to work and I also needed to know that he was a mafia and nothing would change that. It was for me to trust what we shared. To trust our love and let the rest be as it is. I loved him so much.Thinking he sent Alonzo to follow me, made me see how he was devoted, and it was my time to play my part. Like Alonzo said, he was a human, he deserved love and care as well."Speaking of your car, I found a note in the car the day we were to have a date." I hid my face, knowing that my hair was covering most of my face, but who was I kidding, Rodion moved closer and took care of it. The way he would search my face with his hands and stare into my eyes, those actions were not obvious but they would drive me insane. I was probably insanely obsessed."I can explain.""Then start talking
Alessia____Mum used to tell me that it's wrong to wake someone who is relishing their sleep. When I was young, I used to fall asleep during family movie time, a movie that I used to pick, and then fall asleep before it ends. I used to complain to Mum a lot for not waking me up, but her response was always the same.I walked out of the shower with a towel swathed around my nakedness. I made sure to make no noises to wake my man. At least he was resting, which he highly needed.I strode to the dressing room to find something cozy to wear. Most of my pants were tight except for the few dark baggy trousers. For a reason, I did not want to wear black. I couldn't let the situation look gloomy.Wearing black meant I was mourning, and I hadn't brought myself to let Matteo go.I settled with blue shorts and a white top. I needed something to coat me up so I went for a gray trench coat.I put on my white Prada boots and then
Alessia____Murmurs sufficed in the corners of the conference room I had walked in. The men in suits had gazed in my direction but they all assumed me and resumed talking among themselves. I did not hesitate to make my way in.My boots connected to the marble floor creating a commanding sound. The trench coat swung to my pace, and a serious face pasted on me.The little muffles went on settling when they all noticed I was approaching Don's seat. I could feel their gazes penetrating through my bones. I swivel the seat and sank on it. That earned me more sickening murmurs but this time, they were questioning my presence and actions.I pulled my gun hastily and slapped it on the table, and I got the silence I wanted. Though their faces could show just how confused they were.I studied the five men clad in neat suits silently. They were supposed to be seven, which was from the survey I did on Rodi
Alessia___I remembered my parents used to fight because mum hid about Alonzo. And there, I wished she could have mentioned it earlier because Dad seemed okay with it.I looked up at Alonzo and found he was also gazing at me as if waiting for me to agree on it. I would have loved that, but they all knew it was too late because I had found another life."Alessia has a private jet, we will be visiting on weekends and having dinner together, if that's okay?" He read my mind and I felt relieved. Why was he so understanding?"Yes. And Alonzo is taking his training. So we are busy in Sicily but we promise to be having a family get-together dinner." I blurted.We both gazed at our parents expectedly, but they were all staring at us in what looked like a shock. Maybe wondering what our deal was. From the looks, Alonzo saved me, I did not want to stay away from Rodion."Did you two talk before?" Dad cared to
Alessia_____Red.I worked hard to be red. That color you'd easily notice when someone walks in. My hair was red, matching well with the red thigh-level dress that did nothing to hide every feminine aspect of me. Then I wore bloody lipstick, you'd think I was advertising the color.The only color that appeared different was of my thigh-high six-inch stiletto heel boots which were black.Every eye was on me as I walked into the most luxurious club in Rome. The girl who walked in and everyone turned to acknowledge her presence.I fixed my fake eyeglasses, a smile was fixed on my crimson lips as I approached a bar stool at the higher bar counter. It happened to be the VIP tavern, which of course I could afford.I ignored the murmurs from the crowd and focused on the bartender. I flashed a smile at him. The tall guy clad in a neat white shirt that had a name tag on it, Paolo. There were only two bartenders in the VIP sec
Alessia_____We had several drinks as I did a few dance moves for him. He seemed to have been hooked by my aura or he probably thought that things were gonna go as he wanted.He had taken off his coat jacket, unbuttoned a few buttons on his white shirt, and taken several glasses of liquor that proved he was in for the game."Here." He was taking something from his wallet. I watched as his fingers pulled a card that he handed to me. That's when I noticed his hand was shaking. "Spend as much as you want for a lap dance." He slurred his speech. He was drunk.I chuckled while resting my glass on the table in front of him. I then pushed his hand off while shaking my head. "Come on, if it's a lap dance, just ask, and I will offer.""Oh." He leaned back on the backrest with a shameless grin on his lips. He then spread his legs, ready for what he wanted. "Red. I will call you red.""Red, I love it." I gave a rueful smile. I
Rodion___I fell back on the hard ground and set myself into a defensive stance. There was pain on my jawline which was from the punch I received. There was another pain on my lower abdomen which I suspect was not from the fight. It was probably the stupid wound that refused to heal."I was never your enemy! I am still not!" The damn creature growled while wiping the blood oozing off his lower lip where I had punched.I shook my head, outrage recharging in me again. With renewed energy, I got up and launched myself at him. I whacked his ribs so hard that he grunted laboriously."You are wrong," I shoved him against the wall and pushed my forearm across his throat, choking him so hard that he gripped my hand desiring to yank me off. "I still consider you as an enemy!""Fuc-k," He wailed. Blood ran down his chin. "Fine," His voice was low and his face was turning red due to the pressure I applied on him. "...
Rodion____“I accepted the job.” I declared and Alessia froze from my confession. I loved the face she gave me."You what?" Her eyes met mine. "You'll kill me?""Don't be silly." I chuckled. "They'll pay me to kill them.""What?"I hauled her and carried her to our bathroom. I helped her take off the red wig and some other fake disguises she used. I then stripped the dress off her skin. Once she was naked, I took off my clothes and we both stepped into the bathtub. I had prepared some warm water for her.She was seated between my legs with her head resting on my chest. My hands were wrapped around her chest where her erect nipples were poking my skin."Carina hates me." She broke the silence between us. The pang in her voice was an indication that Carina played a big role to make her take the action of murdering the prime minister. "Her words still hurt me.""She is just lost in pain. G
