120-to apologize
Alessia
____
I sat down on a petal plush pink chair in the dressing room with a towel wrapped around me. I had another towel covering my wet hair.
I swiveled the chair to face a mirror so I could take a good view of myself. The moment my eyes met my reflection, I gasped. My hand traveled to my neck and I covered myself.
A shade of redness welled up on my cheeks. That was followed by a shy smile which caught me averting my gaze from the mirror. I settled my eyes on the slab in front of me where I had all sorts of make-up, I needed something to conceal the visible marks on my skin.
The door behind me squeaked open. It was Rodion who I had left in the washroom as he shaved his mustache. A towel was wrapped around his lower waist. We had taken a warm morning shower together.
His eyes were on my hands which were holding a concealer palette cream. And my eyes were on his messy wet hair that fell messily on his hea

The Mafia And The Fake Wife 121-farewell
Alessia___The worst part of life is to see someone get driven down the grave. It hits you that you'll never see them again, talk to them, or even watch them from a far. It ached in so many ways. A pain in the depths of heart, a pain that one couldn't avoid.Matteo was there. He was resting in a wooden brown casket alone. I wondered what one could do to have him back, just for a second and have a conversation. Maybe to have a good goodbyes, and to tell them they mattered in life. Just that, I needed just a second with him again.He taught me to love and respect what I do. He also taught me to always pay attention to my surroundings. I realized he was teaching me safety and priorities.He was not a cold person, rather he was someone who would look serious when needed and of course, when he joked or jotted a moment, he would be someone else.He was trustworthy. A fighter. A dedicated man and mostly, he was sp
The Mafia And The Fake Wife 122- 5th of November
Alessia_____As I lifted my phone to call Rodion, some heavy footsteps caught me. I shot my gaze in the direction and my eyes fell on Rodion.He was walking to me. I ignored how people were gaping at him. To be sincere, he looked outstanding, clad in a white-fitting tee and a pair of dark jeans. I could devour him more and more and sometimes he made me forget that he was mine.It was how ladies looked at him. But his eyes were on me. Though there was no smile, and his hair was not how I styled it before we left home. He had messed with it, and that was proven by how he roughly ran his fingers through it when he got to me.I was now concerned, not scared."Hey." I made the step between us and met him. He placed his hands on my shoulders and rubbed me gently."I will find him." He uttered with a heavy breath escaping his parted lips.My brows pulled together in confusion.

Alessia____Forgiveness is an act that only comes from the heart. Sometimes it's hard to forgive. But what I know is that it's good to release the anger buried in our hearts, it makes our hearts flourish again.I learned the hard way. After spending years of loneliness and pain, where I used to think I was the source of the problem in our house, I finally learned what the issue was, and I decided to forgive my parents. That was because they also had a tough story behind the real situation.I understood Rodion. His loving brother betrayed him in great ways that he couldn't let go, but again, Dmitri was his brother.I knew I was taking things too far by making secret arrangements for him to meet his family, but I wanted to try.He fought his desires and quit smoking. If he could also find it in his heart and forgive Dmitri and his grandmother, I would leave for London as a happy woman.But I was not going to force him.
The Mafia And The Fake Wife 124-the brothers
Alessia_____We all ate in silence until I saw Rodion push something on my plate. I lowered my face to my meal, there was a piece of stuffed flank steak roll. You'll always find vegetables in Rodion's meal, so the roll had some spinach in it.I gazed at him. His jaws were twitching with the movement of his chewing activity. He stuffed his mouth with a fork full of veggies and then offered me his attention.He never uttered a word but the look he gave me made me smile. I loved him so much that sometimes I forgot the world existed. I would watch him all day because I could not get enough of him.I picked the roll and devoured it. The taste of it in my mouth and how soft it felt made me moan silently. I needed more. I spotted we had a plate of them but they were positioned far from me. I gazed at Rodion's plate and he had a few. I went for his own and he never cared about it, rather he pushed his plate closer so we could share.
The Mafia And The Fake Wife 125-love and trust
Alessia______"I can't do that." I gave her an apologetic smile which got hidden by the glass of wine I held on my lips for a sip. Perhaps the drink could wash away the distress that Rodion's grandma was trying to put me into.Telling me her secret and requesting me to keep it from Rodion was like giving me tips on how to break up with him.Trust is the key to a healthy relationship, they were not idiots when they said that.I observed as she got all bothered. She was busy putting back the picture in her expensive yellow handbag that matched the color of her dress. She was amazing, in fact, she made it easier for us to share but she was compelling me to do something that I couldn't.The last time I saw Rodion break down was when he learned that his brother was his enemy. Hiding that they had a brother out there was to make him have trust issues."Tell them." I rested the glass on the table. "If you won't, I will.""If I meet M

Alessia_______I am persistent, but people would call me stubborn.I needed Carina back, so I never rested in texting her every minute. Even though I used to get zero replies from her, I never gave up. And it paid off."I know I probably moved on so quickly, but that did not mean I never adored Matteo. He was a close person to me, to us." I explained wholeheartedly. It was my first time having trouble speaking to my bestie.She always felt closer than my parents, I shared a lot more with her than I would to my mother. But seated in front of her in the restaurant we were in, it felt like I was seated with a stranger."Let's not talk about it." Her eyes darted around in an attempt to avoid looking at me. She kept sipping her tea every second and the way her fingers played on the cup, she was nervous like I was."I miss
The Mafia And The Fake Wife 127- against the door
Alessia_____The flight took us well. I was mostly chatting with Carina about some private stuff. Rodion was mostly on his laptop but the poor man did not do anything because Isabella was on his pants. She was asking a million questions and to my surprise, Rodion was so kind to answer her.I noticed something with him, he treated kids like how he would treat a pet, with care and love. Isabella spent most of the time seated on Rodion's lap as they talked about some stuff from his laptop.I even took a few photos of them. He was more comfortable around kids than he would be around grown-ups.Dad was unwell. It had been two days since he got diagnosed with high blood pressure, so he didn't join us.Mum was busy chatting with Alonzo. The way the two had gotten close was giving me anxiety, but I was happy to see them so close. I wanted Alonzo to grow close to our family because he grew up without us.
The Mafia And The Fake Wife 128- a beautiful surprise
Alessia_______Four months laterNothing sucks like being alone on Valentine's Day. Especially when the person you love tells you that they got busy at work. It almost feels like they choose work over you.I hid the pain and read the message that Rodion sent to me.Mine: I'm sorry this had to happen, I promise to come tomorrow after we are done. I will spend the rest of the weekend with you.Yes, he was to come but not on Valentine's day. What was the point anyway?A pang crawled in my heart at the thought of it. I knew I was supposed to understand him and the situation but I could not help the sadness in my heart.His grandma summoned him so he was flying to Russia. It happened that their grandma finally decided to be true to them. I
