Alessandro's POV"Hello, man. Where were you the previous evening?" Luca asks me when I stroll into the kitchen.I hiss at him and get some espresso before asking, "What are you? My mom?""Fine, don't tell me. I'll find out later in any case." He takes a chomp of his toast and afterward his eyes enlarge as though he recently remembered something prior to telling me, "Goodness, speaking of which... mother and father are coming over for Christmas."I get my cup from the counter and take a taste of my espresso, "I thought father said they were spending the holiday in Italy."He shrugs his shoulders, "Better believe it, well you know how mother is about family and occasions so why not."I gesture my head and ask him, "When did she tell you?""Last night. I planned to let you know when you returned home however... you know." He gives me a sharp look and takes out his phone."I was occupied." I tell him as I fold my arms over my chest.He stirs his head and answers without looking away from
Della's POVWe head to the hospital the following day and track down Luca with a couple of different folks. I chose not to go to the hospital the previous evening since it was past Daisy’s bed time and and the girl needed to rest expected to rest."Hello, Della." Luca says cheerfully as he approaches me."Hello, Luca." I greet him warmly and respite before asking him apprehensively,"Where is Alessandro be?""Follow me and I'll take you to him." He says and gestures for us to follow him to Alessandro's room.I go to Daisy who is taking cover behind me and get her hand before I follow Luca.As we stroll into his room, my eyes land on Fedele, Dario, and one more kid whom I've never seen.Dario gives me a look as cautiously as possible that shows he doesn't need me here. I disregard his look and go to the bed to see Alessandro with his hands over his eyes.Daisy takes cover behind my legs once more. I'm certain this is a direct result of the large number of men in the room. I make a soun
Della's POVHe gradually enters me and tears starts pooling in my eyes as I begin to feel the pain. I turn my head and chomp down on my lip once more. My eyes are firmly closed.Alessandro quits moving and turns my face back to him. I open my eyes and the tears tumble down my face. He carries his thumbs to my cheeks and wipes away the tears before he kisses me once more.After a couple of seconds of kissing him, I don't feel the pain any longer however I realize that I'll feel it again once he begins moving. I pull away from the kiss and look at him without flinching, "Can you please quit the delay and go in at once?""Are you certain that you want us to do this?" He asks with a look of uncertainty as he moves a piece of hair from my face.I affirm by nodding my head and suck in a full breath of air, "Mhmm... I would rather not feel the hurt any longer."He gives me a worried look for a couple of seconds before saying, "OK, girl."By and by, he kisses me profoundly. One second I'm los
Alessandro's POVStrolling into my home, I attempt to sneak into my room unnoticed before my mom sees me and starts her cross examination.Daisy got up before us early today at seven a.m and I felt her moving around on the bed so I got up to make the three of us some morning meal. She remained close by to help while Della dozed.After we got done with cooking and I had served the morning meal, Della ran into the kitchen looking confused. I was confounded initially. However when I saw her apparently unwind at seeing Daisy, I understood she was terrified. Daisy and I weren't in bed with her when she woke up. She most likely thought the most terrible had occurred.I tried to figured out how to calm her down before giving her the morning meal we made. The three of us ate together at her table while Daisy convinced us about baking a few cookies which I learned are her number one.Especially... chocolate chip.After one more hour had passed, I let them know both that I needed to leave. Dais
Della's POVAfter Alessandro left, me and Daisy went through our entire day together. I took her to the shopping center so we could get more winter garments. Then we went to the children’s park and from that point forward, we ate at Mcdonald's.We strolled around New York a bit and I took her to see the Stature of Liberty. I quite went to see it very close either so I was happy we both got to see it together.Thereafter, after I put Daisy to sleep, changed into something warm and waited for Molly to come over to my place, I left for work."Hello shortcake, I missed you!" Fedele says while standing over the bar to give me an embrace.I grin and embrace him back, "I missed you as well."I feel a couple of arms fold over my midsection and haul me out of Fedele's embrace, once more into a hard chest.I look over my shoulder to see Alessandro's look centered around me. He twists his head down and gives me a possessive kiss while his arms wrap all the more emphatically around me.I turn in
Della's POVBang! Bang! Bang! Bang!I leap off of Alessandro's lap at the sound of shots. He quickly gets up and takes out a gun from his cabinet."Remain here, lock the door when I leave and hide yourself inside my closet." He says in a quiet voice.I hold his arms tight as tears begin tumbling down my face, "You're not kidding?!"He wipes away my tears with his thumbs prior to saying, "Shhh, I'll be back in no time amore."I begin crying and shaking with dread. He gives me a kiss before repeating his previous instruction, "Lock the door immediately I leave and go hide yourself in my closet, please. I'll return to you, I promise you."I nod my head fearfully. Putting one final peck on my forehead, he leaves and shuts his office door behind him.When it closes, I run and lock it before racing to his wardrobe and plunking down in the corner.I carry my knees to my chest and embrace my legs tight while putting my head down.I attempt to block out the entirety of the commotion with all t
My walls down here are sound proof yet this man is shouting so loudly, I'm certain everybody upstairs could hear this.At the point when he pulls the sword back out, Rodrigo seems as though he's going to drop."Hello! Nah man. No part of that crap. Open your fucking eyes." Luca tells him as he smacks Rodrigo across the face two times.He puts the sword down and I gesture to Marcelo. He looks reluctant at first however at that point shakes his head, fixes his shoulders and strolls to the table.He gets a sledge hammer and strolls before Rodrigo.I watch as Marcelo holds the hammer and pummels it over Rodrigo's fingers... one.. by.. one. He ends up breaking all ten of his fingers, then strolls to the table and drops the hammer.As I'm going to speak, I see him picking up a pair of scissors. He strolls back to his spot and puts the scissors on his left ear. Then, at that point, he opens them and removes Rodrigo's ear.After that he strolls back to the table and changes the scissors to a
Alessandro's POVDays passed and it's currently the night of the New Years Ball. I advance down the stairs to the assembly hall in the wake of getting dressed."Hello mother, you look amazing." I say as I plant a kiss on her cheek."Much thanks to you darling, Where could you have been? Nearly everybody is present here."She says raising her eyes to give me a serious look.I shrug my shoulder, "I was preparing. At any rate, I didn’t want to rush. This is my place and I'm the boss.""Pshh, you might be the boss of all the men here yet I'm the supervisor of you! Try not to make me twist you over my knee before this multitude of people." She says with a raised forehead.I fold my arms, "Truly mama?"She gazes me down without talking. I toss my head back and let out a giggle as I attempt to walk away but she stops me before I could make a stride."Gracious! Alessandro, where could my future daughter-in-law be? I need to meet her right now!" She says while hurling her arms in disappointmen
Fedele’s POVHe pulled out his phone and turned it so I could see it. I looked on the screen and sure enough there was a video of Della"You see Fedele I hold all the cards. My wife, my family and hers are safe and sound.""Now what? Are you going to kill me with your bare hands.""Actually I have been thinking about that. Then I started thinking what would be the best possible punishment for your indiscretions and it came to me as I arrived here."He got up and a screen came down from the ceiling. Pictures of children faces appeared. One was of a little girl who looked to be blind, another one was of a little boy connected to a machine and a little girl who's face seemed to be scarred. Then more pictures appeared of sick people. One by one from young to old he clicked through pictures of people I didn't know."Why are you showing me this?""Because you are going to either save their lives or you will enhance it.""What are you talking about?"The door opened behind him and two men wa
Fedele’s POVI woke up to find myself in another room. I was still wearing the blood stained garment that was drenched in Harold's and Auntie's blood. I must have been dreaming.The stench of the blood was starting to get to me. I raised up slowly holding on to the wall."Rise and shine." I heard the eery voice of my captor. I looked around and still his cover was hidden.The wall opened up and there was a bed with white sheets and someone lying in it. I walked in as it seemed to be the only place to go. As I walked in I heard two distinct voices. A man and a woman but they were moaning. The covers moved and then someone emerged from under the sheets. I watched as the sheet slowly lowered from the back.I squinted trying to figure out who it was and why was I brought here. It was a woman.She moved her body up and down. He leaned her head back and I stopped in my tracks."Ashley?" I ran towards her but was stopped instantly as I hit a glass wall. I started to beat on it but she couldn
Fedele’s POV"What's the difference Harold? Della's dead and you nor Alessandro got her .""You sick mothefucker! Della was the only... reason I stayed. You switched the results...""I did what I had too. I had already lost everything and I couldn't afford to watch you have Della.""You sick scum .""This time he charged me and was able to grab my foot and I hit the floor hard. I tried getting up but he kept pulling me closer until his face was mere inches from mine. His left eye was dark purple as I could see traces of a fist. There were light scratches on his cheek and his neck was bloody with remnants of a huge scar.He laughed as I could see most of his teeth had been pulled out. Somehow the blood had dried up in clumps around his swollen gums making him look like a monster. I turned my face as I didn't want to see him.I knew I could never trust him and I needed to find a way out of here."Me? You started this Harold!""I might have but you took it to another level," he said cough
Fedele’s POVI looked up at my surroundings. I decided to take the tunnel straight in front of me. It seemed as if I was in a catacomb. The dark rich stone and concrete was thick and settled as if it had been carved thousands of years ago. It was dark and the more I journeyed in the more the air seemed thin.I continued on which seemed like forever until I came to a door and I opened it only to find a brick wall behind it. I hit it with my hands and the force from the hit had me shaking the pain away."Ouch, what the hell?" I said hitting on all sides. I could hear his laughter in the background so I ran back the way I came. I finally came out and started on another tunnel. The Dane thing happened except this one became smaller at the end. I was literally hunched back when I opened the door to another wall. I ran back to the opening and there were two more tunnels.I started from my left and the tunnel zigzagged. I continued on as I felt coldness starting to seep through. My clothes w
Fedele’s POVI slid down the wall and cried. I could still taste the metallic flavor of Auntie's blood against my lips and my dress was drenched in her blood. How was this happening to me why did I do what i did? At this point I don't even know what made me involve myself in the plot to kill Alessandro's wife? I saw a red light and when I looked up the clock was counting down. I didn't know how long I had been sitting here but all I could do was watch the numbers ticking away."Mr Fedele time is wasting," he said in a singing voice. The deep baritone voice dripped with pure insanity."Leave me alone you sick fucker!""Ah now now now. Did we not just have a conversation about name calling? Have I called you out of your birth name? Where are your manners Mr. Fedele?"I looked around trying to find where his voice was coming from. I checked the ceiling and the walls and couldn't see anything."Did you have to kill her? She made a mistake and death shouldn't have been her punishment. That
Fedele’s POV"What kind of game are you playing Asshole? Let her go!" I yelled out in the room."Save me Fedele!" She said begging and crying so hard I couldn't hear my own thoughts. My heart was beating so fast in my chest I didn't know what to do. I couldn't afford to lose her. I climbed up on the platform to see if I could push the blade part back up. I was using all my strength to make it go back up but it wouldn't move up just kept moving down. I heard Auntie crying harder."I can use the saw and cut your feet off. I think it's the only chance you have.""No you can't. Oh God please no.""Auntie it's the only way."She screamed. "No....please. There has to be another way."Tears were rolling down my eyes. "Let me save you.""Ah nooooo..." I heard her say as the clock bonged out. The wood around her neck began to tighten. I could hear the metal and see the metal knobs that held up the two pieces of the opening turning. This contraption wasn't giving me much time."Whoever can hear
Fedele’s POVI heard him counting down and the once closed door began to open. A bright light barely showed through all the darkness as it seemed that the darkness behind me was starting to suck up the light in front of me. This couldn't be happening. I heard King growling and barking."Five... four... three..."I looked at the clock on the wall. The red numbers twenty-four appeared so bright as King started barking louder and before Hatter got to one, I took out through the open door. As soon as I made it out, the door closed and the lights began to automatically come on down the hall. I touched the wall and sure enough it was made of concrete. Was I in some type of maze? I continued down the hallway but when I stopped and looked back, darkness had covered my tracks."Alessandro please, this is too much. I'm sorry for what I did." I said moving down the hall. I was looking up to see if I could spot cameras but I didn't see anything.Finally a huge room appeared before me. It had a m
Fedele’s POV"I heard you the first time young man," he said with his voice dripping with sarcasm."Please have a cup of tea or something to eat. You must be starving. You were sleeping when they brought you here and it's been over fifteen hours I guess since you have probably had something to eat. People can't focus if their bodies haven't gotten nourishment."I could hear my stomach growling as he said the words. I didn't know if there was poison or anything else in the food. I looked at him and then the food. "How do I know you haven't poisoned it?""Here let me show you," he said taking a slice of ham and placing it on a plate. He picked up a fork and knife, cut it and placed a piece in his mouth. "See, this is good Canadian ham especially smoked with tender loving care," he said winking at me. He picked up the other empty glass and poured himself some water. He patted away any evidence of the food and water."What happened to your hair and apron? I wanted you to look nice when we
Fedele’s POVJolting awake from my sleep, I felt disoriented I looked up and saw green eyes staring back at me as I felt something cold entering my body.I grabbed my neck as I felt a tiny hole against it."Alessandro ?" I asked as my eyes felt heavy."The one and only.""You can't do anything to me!" I tried to yell but my speech felt slurred."I can do whatever I want. You wanted to play games so I am here to play. The only difference is you will play by my rules. The problem is do you want to live or die?The choice will be yours?""You can't hurt me. I am not... a..fr..aid of you." My breathing felt heavy."Oh but you will soon. Get some rest brother because you are going to need it." I felt myself swaying. Alessandro grabbed me and placed me in a box. My eyes were so heavy as I tried to keep them open.He put an oxygen mask on my face and connected the tubing through a small hole in the box to a small tank outside the box. He sat on his knees and strapped my arms to the side of
