Rodion Kostantin
-----
Fuck!
I drew a handkerchief and swabbed the disgusting blood off my left jaw line. The human being could have at least squirted the information I needed rather than his stupid blood.
He was perched on the seat with an open throat where my knife was still stuck. His eyes were both sagging loose from their sockets and his whole self was covered with his own blood.
He looked worse than anyone I had ever murdered before. The sight though didn't satisfy the cravings in me. It always did, but this time, it was not working.
I pulled out the knife which led to more blood streaming. I wiped the knife as well. I then threw the handkerchief on his face before walking out.
I had signalled two men who were with me to set the place on fire and that was fulfilled within a few m
Rodion Konstantin—------------I'm not drunk!I kept urging myself but clearly, I was not thinking straight. Killing a woman was another code I broke. I made the Lazza codes only to break them one by one.I sank onto a couch in my room, drinking again even after being driven home. Matteo noticed my drunken state and took care of everything.A low jazz song was playing in the background but it felt like noise to me. I grabbed a remote and turned it off. The silence rained.I could hear my breaths and the way I would swallow the drink. Alessia's words sabotaged me."And to those who are strong, heartless and powerful like you, what do you gain? Loneliness? Do you even know what real life is? How does it taste? All you do is to kill, money, kill, money oh, and not to forget, you also c
Alessia Romero-----compleannoMum was probably in the kitchen devouring the birthday cake she baked for me. I was curious as to what birthday present she got me this time. It was a birthday everyone was waiting but then life proved us wrong.I stood by the window staring at the sky as I admired how free the stars were. It was not something to joke about because the stars were better than me.I wish I was created to be just a star.When midnight hit, it marked my twenty years. An
Alessia Romero------------Fear sabotaged me.I wanted to run after the person but from the darkness, I was scared to even make a step out. I immediately shut the door, making sure to lock it then rushed back to the bed.When I managed to sit, my eyes roamed around the room and they caught something on the table beside the bed. It was a bouquet of red roses. I felt my whole body tense. I could swear with my own blood that I never left any flowers on the table.I got up and walked to the table. Every sense was knocked and I felt like someone who was about to lose brain cells. After hesitation, I picked the flowers, my eyes caught a note on the flowers, and I quickly grabbed it to check it.
Alessia Romero----"No! You stay away from me!" I barked at Lino who was running behind me while calling me worriedly, of course, he could do that, he could only worry because he was not in my shoes."What did my father tell you? Alessia, Ale-" I slammed the door on his face and then collapsed against it.My eyes were burning with tears that commenced sluicing down my cheeks instantly. My lips quivered as I struggled to hold the sobs from breaking through.What was I, a puppy to just toss here and there? Marry someone? Did dad agree?
Alessia Romero____After turning off the lights in the room, I slid under the warm fluffy bed covers and stared into the darkness. The scent of the red roses beside the table caught me. I wondered who had given me such a romantic gift.My memories began wandering, and I slowly drifted to Rodion. The memories that I had held onto for the past week flooded in my brain. One particular memory was the night he took me to heaven and back. Crazy enough, that brought a smile to my lips. If no one had ever mentioned, he looked so damn hot when carried away. I could be stupid but I cherished the little moment of him handling me with so much need, he made me feel special and worthy a touch.I could feel my centre throbbing just thinking of his lips explori
Rodion Konstantin----"Fucking asshole!" I squeezed my phone which was against my ear as it beeped again for a hundred times. What was hard for a grown-ass man to just answer the phone?The oxygen in my office felt poisoned.I hated to admit that something was wrong, no, everything. Ever since I started working with Matteo, there was not a day he never answered my phone, not until today.Matteo was half of what I was, I trained him, nurtured him, shaped him and made him something that many mafia teams desired. He was one of the best-trained men a mafia team could provide. He was much better than some of the mafia underbosses, he was way better than Romeo who was Lazza's Underboss.I dialled his number again. I always talked about patience but lately, the word was not in my vocabulary. As I directed the phone to my ear, a knock alerted me, part of me wanted to see Matteo walk in but the last time
Alessia Romero-----ospitiThe event had commenced. Guests were flowing around like bees as they conversed. Every mafia event I attended ever since I got abducted, all were luxurious with people who had nothing other than money.Lino and I had a good scheme to get me out of the place. The escape plan was in motion and I sort of trusted Lino.Countless butterflies were fluttering in the confines of my stomach as I strolled to the ballroom where the event was to take place. The man who was the reason for the gathering, in other terms, Vincenzo, was not at the event yet. Rumours were that he left early in the morning and promised to return but now the night had plugged in, yet he was not around.The white dress I wore hugged every curve bringing out m
Alessia Romero__—-------I was woken by the soprano voice of a woman singing. The accent and the song were both in Spanish. The persona was a singer, that was a fact.I could feel my body aching for unknown reasons. I tried to move my hands but I was tied up. Same for my legs which felt weak and were trembling.I gently opened my eyes to familiarize myself with the situation. My eyes rested on a cream ceiling above me. They felt heavy and puffy. I could see but the vision was not clear.I blinked again to adjust my sight. It was getting better within seconds, but the pain in my back head was nothing to joke with. I lifted my head to peek at what was happening. I was welcomed by a dancing woman who was busy moonwalking in front of me.She hadn't noticed I was awake because she was so drawn into her dance and singing,

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
