Alessia Romero
-----
"Wake her up!" A voice, that I acknowledged as Romeo's, thundered in the entire room making my sore body tense. Every part of me was freezing from being naked for hours on the hospital bed. They had stripped me so I was only wearing my briefs.
My hands and legs had deadened due to the state I was clamped up on the bed. Pain circulated in every part of my flesh. Fresh bruises that covered my skin had turned dark. The putrid stench of blood, medicine, and every other nauseating smell made me sick, I wanted to die.
My lazy eyes observed as Romeo approached me. He looked infuriated. Fire was fuming on his visage. He was gonna hurt me again, just like he used to do. He got to me and gripped my hair causing my head to pound so sicklily. He pulled me up and the state left my backbone aching with immense pain.
"Who is he?!" He forced a picture
Alessia_______I snapped up as I gasped for air and my hands crept on my neck. I could feel the pain around my neck but the belt which Romeo was choking me with, was gone. Sound breaths overlapped in the place exiting my mouth."Die, whore, just fucking die!"An anger-ridden voice chimed in my brain. I could feel his body on me, hurting me like I was his punching bag.My hands traveled off the neck and touched my body, I was no longer naked. I was wearing an oversize black sweater that covered most of my body. I was free, but the smell of blood and medicine was an indication that I was in the hospital.I fearfully looked around with the help of a flickering bulb. A cigar smell caught me. I squinted my eyes at the room, the darkness was not allowing m
Rodion Konstantin-------"He is a coward." Dmitri declared after I had turned the phone screen off. He was referring to Luigi, the man who had been sending me videos of them torturing Matteo.Two days had gone, yet the son of bitch had the guts to threaten my sovereignty. He was wrong if he thought Lazza would lay low and let him rule Italy; Italy belonged to Lazza, and Italy worshipped me."I have many eyes on Romeo, keep watch on Elena; once she wakes up from that damn induced coma, she will talk," I instructed Dmitri, who had devoted his life to helping with my case. I was enough even without him, but I desired to see the depths he would go to as someone I had known to be dangerous."Where are you going?"I had picked up my bike keys to leave. I just needed to hunt. I wanted to be out there looking for Luigi. His ways had crossed mine and far beyond. One person who would quickly show Luigi's face was Romero, Alessia's father, but he had been giving me a headache lately."Hunting."
Rodion Konstantin —------- I tossed the keys back on a nearby slab and walked to the mini bar in the house. I craved a drink so badly. I took a bottle of tequila, and without using a glass, I began taking heavy sips with the bottle. The whole marriage contract sabotaged me. There was no way Romero signed a contract; he hated knowing that Alessia was out here in mafia territory. I needed to meet him so quickly. He also had a pending business with me; I would blow his brain if he thought Alessia would be safe married to Mafioso. I cleared a bottle. The echoing sound of Alessia and Dmitri's laughter filled the room. I wondered what was so funny. It had been almost ten minutes, yet he was still in her room. I took another bottle and unlidded it, taking sips after the other. Listening to them laugh over and over. That's when I knew Dmitri needed to leave; he was overstaying at my place. But without him, Alessia would stay bored in the room. I could not hear her l
Alessia Romero-----Shit, shit, shit!This life has got to be playing with me!I moved about the washroom after flushing the toilet. I suspected the sudden hatred of the onion smell had a reason. Now that I was in a mafia crap, I could not even think about my own days. Periods chose to show up like a fucking hurricane.Just to remind you, I never got warning cramps, they usually attacked me when the first drop lands.I paced around, feeling my lower abdomen already being pulled down. I had no sanitary pads and the only person who could have helped was doctor Lucia who was not sleeping in the house.And it was probably midnight.
Allesia Romero—----The moment I stepped out of the washroom again, Rodion was outside, leaning against the wall. My body was tense from the fact that I was in a towel only. I could have walked back to the washroom and locked the door but he handed me a carrier bag, which at first I thought of ignoring but then I realized it could have been what Dmitri had gone to buy for me.I gave him a brief look then picked up the bag. I checked inside and it was two packs each of what I had requested from Dmitri.I walked to the wardrobe and took my necessities then walked back to the washroom.After a few minutes, I walked out, and he was still rooted in the same position he was. He had a bottle of tequila which he was slowly sip
Alessia Romero------Where am I?Heavy pants escaped my lips as my lungs threatened to collapse. My heartbeat dared to tear my chest to shreds. I stopped running as I had gone too far I could not tell. I was in the middle of nowhere, only trees surrounded me, or us, as I would say.I bent over and rested my hands on my knees, I tried to catch my breath and control my sobs at the same time. What was I expecting, I had no idea but being sold so someone can take my kidneys away really broke every part of me.He wanted to destroy the last piece of me. What then was his plan after selling my kidneys away? To get my heart and sell it too?Of course, he was a mafia boss. He was used to gett
Alessia—----------I stared at Rodion for a while as he roughly ran his fingers through his hair, and I nodded, wanting to leave, go far away. I would rather get killed with my parents around than get protected while getting hurt every day.I didn't realize my feet hurt until I took a few steps. I was aching, soaked in rain, and sobbing. I made a step away from him, two steps, knowing I was probably getting my freedomBut I did not go any further when I felt a sudden grip on my wrist. He gripped me hard and in a hasty, he spun me around that I fell on his chest.I thought of the worst like for him to choke me to death and end me, or for him to pull a gun and aim it at my skull. But turned out to be something diff
Rodion Konstantin------I was busy with my phone as I monitored a ship of drugs that was to dock in four hours. It was a shipment that had to go well because the last ship worth billions got sabotaged by Luigi. That led to a shortage of supplies for my prominent customers. I could sense a war on its arrival but I had my men ready, including Dmitri.I stood in the living room with Dmitri beside me busy crushing ground nuts in his mouth noisily. He loved groundnuts and I did not question it but I was to have a problem with the noise he was making. He was either aiming to irritate me or someone did not teach him manners on how to chew.I almost yelled at him but held it back when the door to Alessia's room sq

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
