Alessia Romero----"Rodion!!"I sat up in a hasty, breathing so rapidly to catch up with my racing. It was that state where you'd suspect the heart was vacating its confines and running away from you.I rubbed my chest. My body was soaked with sweat. I wiped my forehead and then let out a huff when I felt my heart normalizing its activity.The dog is haunting me.My head was pounding. It felt like I got whacked mercilessly behind my back head with a sledgehammer. I shut my eyes and I moaned in pain. Just then, the dog's face came into my vision. I shook my head as I choked on my moans then shot my eyes open.It was not just a dream, it was real. I could touch the dog. The way my thumb moved against his mouth. Then the way I ordered him to say his name.I know... I know, dogs don't talk but this Lazza's dog talked. It was probably trained."Rodion. My name is Rodion Konstantin." The deep voice was loud in my mind."Forget that name! Else you'll die!" A voice rang in my brain."Why. I
Alessia Romero —---- As a groan tore through my throat, I stretched my hands. I felt relaxed. I pushed my legs out of the duvet and then did the same, my muscles needed to stretch. There was a certain warmth deep in my heart. Maybe from enough sleep, I got or the fact that I told the Lazza the whole truth. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and going to his room. I stayed up while watching him turn on his bed as he enjoyed the sleep. That was probably how the dog used to do it. When I heard the first bird twitter, I sneaked out in silence not to announce that I had spent my night watching him. He hated when people interfered with his sleep. I was just trying not to fall into another pit of getting hurt. I went back to my room and decided to sleep. I had no idea that I was soo sleepy in a way that I ended up waking up when the sun was kissing the earth. The place was magical, I peeked through the window and I loved the green vegetation
Alessia Romero ------ scrittrice There are perks to having a writer as your best friend. You get to be the first to read their first drafts, you can have your ideas added to their novels and whatnot. Then we have the downsides of it, and one is what I was going through at the moment. I took another sip of my cold cola, letting the drink sweep away the anger accumulating in me. I was on the verge of jumping on Carina and pulling her curls out, but God, I loved her curls. Maybe I needed to pull out her nose. I had a great chance to break it to her that my ass was in trouble. A deadly Mafia king whose face was unknown held me captive. But the idiot was busy fantasizing about Matteo. I was worried about her future husband. If he was gonna be ugly, then he would have a problem. Carina always drooled over a handsome man with fit physiques. When she sees one, she sees the main character of her novels, and Matteo happens to be a victim. "You won't face the
Alessia Romero —--------- "Hi." Lazza greeted back. My brain could not function. I could feel the air in my lungs being sucked out. I wasn't sure why, but the sudden euphoria I had in me suddenly withered. He made an appearance. He took a seat next to me, in front of my bestie, whom I wanted to protect. Although he was dangerous, he acted as if nothing was amiss. I shoved my hands between my legs and that's when I realized my whole body was trembling. I could hear Carina's shrill voice ringing in my ears but at that moment, I had a lot going on in my head to understand what she was saying. What if the deal was to kidnap or hurt Carina? Why is he even here, it means that the deal involves Carina. I was terrified. Every cell in me went into a coma. I hated my life. That cologne, I could have smelt him as he walked into the restaurant. It was so obvious, everyone could smell him. But I didn't, I was too occupied "Right, Sia?" I snapped
Alessia Romero ------- I crawled out of the room, making sure to quietly shut the door. For the past two days, I had been sneaking into Lazza's room. I was not sure whether it was evolving to being a bad habit or anything. It started when I went to the dorms and realized that I couldn't sleep. My sleep was disturbed by the dog, who was purposely haunting me. Sneaking to his room was a hell of a task, but thank heavens he was a sleeper, else he could have caught me seated on a couch in his room, looking like an evil demon. I made no noise while leaving the wing. Guards who noticed my early presence around the boss' wing didn't question it. They probably thought I had spent two good nights sucking his dick. Disgusting. I didn't sleep, and if I did, it never lasted more than ten minutes. Every time I watched him sleep, I would wake up and spend the day in mighty peace, knowing I accomplished something the dog loved to do. It was early, five in the mor
Alessia Romero------"How well do you know the boss?" I was busy swiveling on Doctor Lucia's seat with my head pushed behind. My eyes rested on the white-painted ceiling of her clinic.She was occupied with doing some tests on the blood she had drawn out of my veins. I had hesitated to do that but she mentioned if I didn't agree to what she was instructed, it was to put her in trouble. I wasn't ready to put her or anyone in trouble."Not a lot. What is it that you want to know?" She asked. I could hear some beeping sounds overlapping in the room. They were emerging from hospital machines that were at work."A lot." I stopped swinging. "I want to have something that will give me a lead as to what the deal was. What does he love the most?"Lucia chuckled. "He loves perfection." She said. "He loved the dog and..." She hesitated. "...he loves his job.""Killing?" I asked as I sat up to face her."You know, maybe you should try to see him differently. Not like a killer and there, you will
Alessia Romero —-------- I slammed my hand against my mouth. I could feel myself losing it. The bodyguard who always worked with Matteo got murdered. They laid his body in a black body satchel on the floor. Doctor Lucia was busy examining it. I stood at a distance trying to avoid the fact that that was a dead person who came in like a delivery. My gaze darted to the Lazza, his hands were held akimbo as he stared down at the body. Matteo was next to him, both waiting for Doctor Lucia to give results. "Luigi loved Salvatore, it's why he is at this!" Romeo spoke. "What is that?" He bent over with his hands reaching out to the dead body's arm. Matteo also bent over to see what Romeo was pointing at. "Looks like he tattooed a message here," Romeo spoke. "It's a name." He announced and just after they all read it, they immediately turned behind where I stood frozen. Something was fishy, I could tell that the name had to do with me. I needed to go cl
Rodion Konstantin----somigliareI was perched on a wooden seat as I watched keenly the rotund man in an expensive midnight six-piece suit. Romero Da'vinci. He resembled her, I could see her eyes in his, her nose was almost of his shape, and the way he would blink twice at once, it was easy to see Alessia in him.That though was not something to hallelujah at, they had few things in contrast and one was an act of impatience. She was patient, unlike her father. I hated impatient people."There is no such a name in my bank records.""Look again!" I ordered the father of a woman I had in my wings. The two had some important things in my life, who would have thought that a father and his daughter would be a source of the end of the Lazza problems?"Nothing.""For fuck sake, look again!" I roared as I messed up my posture and leaned closer to the table. "Having had a Gallo in your records means that there are high chances of having him!"He sighed, that too was something I noticed that Al

Rodion____Years later___I took a brief inhale to the fresh scent of flowers in my grip. A simple smile emerged at the corner of my lips and a warm feeling settled in my heart.I got upstairs and there, I could feel her presence. Her pure existence was full of Joy, calmness, and grace.The door to the room was open. I sighted her immediately when I stood by the door frame. She was seated In front of a mirror at her vanity desk at the furthest corner of her bright room. She was holding a purple hair comb, busy brushing her shoulder-length black hair.She was clad in a white dress that was as pure as she was. Her tiny back was held straight, she knew what she was doing.I lifted my fist and made a gentle knock. It got her turning to face behind. She suddenly dropped her comb, jumped off her settee, and ran towards me."Papa.""Hello, pri
Alessia____"You may now kiss the bride."As if it was our first kiss, Rodion first explored my face with a look of victory in his eyes. He ran his fingers on my cheek, leaving feathery touches as he pushed the hand behind my neck.I ignored the crowd, the way everyone was cheering us, wanting us to kiss already, but watching my husband take his time to first stare at me felt like heaven.His other hand settled on the other side of the cheek. He used his thumb to caress my skin, down to my lip and then my chin."Thank you." He murmured that I was the only one who heard him. I noticed how his eyes begged me to read beyond the words, to see his heart. Those eyes that once used to scare me, were watching me tenderly. "For being mine, thank you, baby."I nodded with a smile and tears that I had been controlling ever since the wedding started to well up again. "I love you."He bowed his eyes to mine, leaning slowly
Alessia_____I silently watched as Rodion wrapped a scarf around my neck. He towered me, with every part of him attending to me. He loved to offer all his attention to me and forget he had an empire to think of. Even his blood and every sense were acquainted to submit to me."Where are we going?" I asked when he picked a trench coat from the closet. He moved behind me and helped me wear it. It was a black one, similar to the one he was wearing."You will see." He kissed my hair then walked around and stood in front of me. His hands settled on my shoulder then he interlocked our gazes. "You are okay, right?" He asked. I had no count of the number of times he asked me that question, and if he wasn't a man I was madly in love with, I could have hollered because it was too much.I released an exhale. "Honey, if I was not okay, you know I will definitely tell you, right?" I asked way more politely.He nodded and
Rodion_____The cigar smoke sailed in the atmosphere creating a dark cloud between the two of us. I was currently seated with a man who was considered my brother. He was busy smoking while I rubbed my jawline.Yes, I couldn't smoke.My eyes were on my beautiful angel moving around the compound. She was wearing a raven umbrella dress which was above her knees. She would walk inside the house and come out carrying something. It was lovely to watch her.We were currently in the Bungalow which was in the middle of the woods. Alessia loved the place since it was away from everyone and everything.I loved the place as well. It reminded me of my first time with her. The day I tasted her, the day I sank into her sweet streams. The day she moaned for me, giving me all beautiful looks. The day I claimed her.I took a sip of the drink which was surprisingly white wine. It could perhaps wash my desires. She always mad
Alessia______I almost entered the passcode to open the door when Alice grabbed me and pulled me behind."What are you doing?" She whispered. I had no idea why we were whispering because I also whispered back."Opening the door."Her mouth fell open. Not the first time but ever since we drove to the hotel, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Judith was entirely quiet and I knew I was an asshole. I could have not lied to them."You live here?" Alice asked then turned to Carina. "She lives here?""Yes," Carina whispered. "Wait, why are we whispering?""Just open the door if this is where you live." Judith diced in with her shrill voice that made my smile disappear."Okay, Jesus, can you be less cold." I walked back to the door and I did not miss the squealing sound from Alice.I was about to enter the passcode when the door clicked and someone pulled it open. I jerked awa
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
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.
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
