Alessia
____
It had been a week since we moved to Lazza mansion. Activities had resumed. Most of the time it was me in the study room attending online classes. Rodion was busy causing chaos in the city. He mostly showed up with his shirt bloody, meaning his businesses were getting even darker.
Matteo was the new Underboss. He got promoted the next day after we arrived at the mansion. Meetings after others were held until everything was running as perfectly.
My classes were slowly turning out perfect. After a hard time trying to understand the accent, I managed to adapt to it.
I also got to be talking to Carina and my parents almost daily. My parents strangely mentioned that I was safe with Rodion, but I had agreed with Rodion to visit them cause I missed them terribly.
I had finished my classes. Being lonely, I decided to go for a wa
Alessia____The whole day went on with us doing stuff here and there. Talking about all shit that needed to be discussed by us in person. She mentioned about having been kidnapped and Matteo saved her. That was something that Rodion hid from me.I was to keep it that way because at least they saved her and clearly, it was the work of Romeo or Dmitri or whoever it was.She also kept swearing about how she could have slapped Marco for having duped us. I understood her because she put a lot of effort into teaching me how to love that son of a cow.I also lied to her that Rodion hated me and treated me like shit. She tried to outsmart me and brought up the story plot we tried to outline once in a restaurant, but I acted as though it was a made-up one.Rodion apologized, and I needed to move on to another life that only foc
Alessia____The fear of Rodion going out and never coming back home had gathered in the depths of my heart. It was killing me to even imagine it. Weird thoughts of him getting attacked and suddenly getting a seizure was causing me to have nightmares.Someone stabbed his chest with a dagger. As much as I wanted to ask what led to him being in such a serious fight, I held it back. I knew who he was and anything would happen anytime, any day.This is what scared me. His life scared me a lot. It was hard for me to expect him home not knowing whether he would return.I carried the first aid kit from the bathroom shelf and walked back to him. He had sat on a sofa in the room. I occupied the armrest and opened the box to take care of his wound.I rubbed the piece of cloth that was dampened with an antiseptic on his wound. I never uttered a word but I knew he was watching me."I am fine." He said it again, I
Alessia____I was woken up by a knock which went twice, making me groan. I rolled on the bed, thinking I would collapse on Rodion but the bed was empty. I shot my eyes open. He had left.I crawled out of the bed and then strolled to the door. I opened it as a yawn tore through my lips."Wake up big ass, we have shopping to do!" Carina wailed while pushing herself inside."Hey. Hey!" I followed her." The Lazza hates when one enters his room. Let's talk outside!""Where my friend goes I go, where she stays I stay, where she-" She paused and I didn't avert my gaze from her, she was staring down at something on the table beside the bed. "-you have a gift here.'' She grabbed a box.I ran to her and grabbed it before she got to open it. I hid it behind my back then stared up at her."What ar
Alessia____We were busy slaying in the city. The marvellous not-so-hot sun made everything look great. It was until then that I realised I really missed the sight of the crowded city and the noises. It felt so good to be out like we used to, just us being two best friends relishing the moment.We stepped out of a restaurant after we took our lunch. We were escorted by Matteo who was with another soldier but no one could notice we were actually guarded. They both kept a safe distance. At some point, we forgot that we were not safe out there and that Matteo was guarding us. We would just assume everything and enjoy our day in the city."I hate that dessert." I blurted as I faked a gag. "I ate it for the sake of that gorgeous waiter who insisted." I blurted about the free
Alessia____The moment Dmitri confessed that, I knew there was a dark side I had to brace.He sounded so evil. For a moment, he made me see Rodion in him but the whole scene was replaced with an echoing sound of his statement. "She is safe, for now. I get a hold of my grandma' and I will free-""Dmitri," I breathed fearfully. My heart was racing."She is okay." He was busy on his phone. I could feel my body going weak. He looked up at me as he held the phone to my face. My teary eyes met the screen.My mum was in a room lying on a bed, the room looked isolated and I couldn't see anyone around. "She has Twenty hours to wake up, she could wake up in her bed at home and fail to know what happened to her or she wakes up in my hands, and trust me, you'll hate me even more.""You are so inhumane!" I gritted as I glared at him. "If you even touch a hair on her head, I will not hesitate to kill you!"
Rodion____"Take care of her, and clean that mess!" I instructed the lady whose name was not ringing. All I knew was that she was the house manager in the east wing.I had arrived home when I found the sitting room was turned into a club. There were bottles scattered in every corner. The drinks from shelves in the bar inside my apartment were almost empty.The woman responsible for the mess was lying on the carpet with one leg resting on the table. Her curly hair was all over her face. Something looked serious, and I was dying to see Alessia.Alessia was in my office as I was informed. I had no idea if she knew her friend was drinking her ass off and turning our place into hell.I left for the office where Alessia was. I walked in and the lights were on, illuminating every corner of the office.She was sleeping on the couch. I sighted empty bottles of liquor on the table. She was holding another unlidded bottle which
Alessia_____"I am sorry."I felt like I was liable for the pain that Carina felt because of my brother. The idiot took a priceless thing from her and vanished like nothing happened. Like a man, he was stupid and a coward."If you apologise one more time, I will go burn this dress and we'll both forget about your date." She brawled while attending to my hair."I am sure Rodion would love me even in pyjamas." I subsisted a load of anxiety. "Seriously, if you like, I will request Rodion or Matteo to order Alonzo to stay out of your sight.""I was with Matteo last night. He promised to take care of him but again, I don't see a reason to make him think I will be hurt when I see him around, I can ignore him and focus on what's important.""I also don't wish to see him." I slipped into the thought of us hating my brother. There was a part of me that felt sorry for him. He was abandoned when he was a child, and he grew up w
Alessia____Noises in the club filled in.The stupid man I shot had collapsed on the counter. I chuckled and then rubbed my blurry eyes before bending over to collect my things. I then realized I was standing in a pool of blood.Blood, I hated blood.I gazed up at the man and for a second, I felt my brain whirl. Confusion ambushed my whole being. My drunken brain regained some sanity and I realized I just shot someone.I shook my head and shut my eyes, before I opened them, someone suddenly grabbed me and the place was filled with the overlapping sound of gunshots.A man was dragging me out but he stopped when he got shot and fell beside me in a thud."What? hey!" I called in concern. "Are you okay?"My face was covered with fresh blood. I blinked off the blood but I couldn't see well. I looked up and saw a tall man clad in black, aiming a gun in my direction.I brushed my eyes to see him but ano
