Alessandro's POV"STOP!! Please, I apologize!""This was never supposed to happen. Although you've always been faithful to me, you took a decision that endangered my girls." I inform him in a composed manner.Please give me another chance, B-boss. He begs."Elijah, Elijah... you know I don't give second chances," I sighed.As tears stream down his face and onto the ground, he lets his head drop low in defeat."So, why did you delete those two recordings from the security footage?" I ask Pedro, who is likewise tied securely to a chair.He doesn't say anything; he simply keeps staring at me. Who is your boss? I ask as I draw nearer and stand immediately in front of him.He says nothing, and I'm getting increasingly furious!Which will it be—the easy way or the difficult way—that we choose to do this?Silence. Who am I kidding, I don't do anything the simple way. I remark as I insert my pocket knife into Pedro's upper leg from my back pocket.When the blade was in his leg and he was scre
Della's POVWhen Alessandro's door opens and he enters, I am seated on his bed, watching a movie on his iPad."Hey." I say as I cast a quick peek his way before returning my focus to the monitor.Hello, baby. He responds by snatching the iPad out of my hands, throwing it to the side, and climbing up my body to force me to lie flat on my back.I sigh in irritation, "Alessandro! I was watching a film!"As he begins to kiss my neck, he says, "So? My day was really long. I need to be with my girl right away."I stop protesting once his warm lips touch my skin because it feels so lovely. He takes my legs and wraps them around his body before sliding his hands to my thighs and squeezing them as I simply throw my head back on the pillow and wrap my arms around his head.I close my eyes as he licks and chews on my skin, prompting a sigh to leave my opened lips. I swiftly take his hands and put them back on my legs when he places them on either side of my torso. He hisses low into my neck as I
Alessandro's POVAlmost every eye turns our way as Della and I enter the club holding hands. No matter what anyone thinks, she is my girl, and I will flaunt her while protecting her till the day I die.With all the attention on us, I can sense she's a little—no, a lot—uncomfortable, so I offer her hand a comforting squeeze.She gives me a lovely grin and raises her head to gaze at me as we continue to walk.When we get at the bar, Fedele approaches and encircles Della in a close embrace. I grab her and drag her back to my side right away.I am aware that Fedele is merely a friend. Even though I am sure he would never do anything with her, the fact that he is a man and I don't like other men touching her does not change the fact that he is a man. She is my own!Honestly boss? Fedele raises an eyebrow and asks with a sly grin. He also crosses his arms.I stare at him intently as he raises his hands in submission "Ok, ok. In any case, the interview candidates are in one of the back rooms
Della's POV Alessandro stands up from his chair and approaches me from behind his desk. He takes hold of my hand and helps me stand up.He wipes away my tears as I stare at him with blurry eyes."I'm not letting him come close to you. He won't ever hurt you again, sweetheart. I swear I'll track him down and put a stop to him." He says as his jaw tightens and rage, hatred, and promise fill his eyes.I grin my best at him. When I could, I did so and gave him a tight embrace before giving him a kiss. He pushes me up against his desk with his hands around my waist and gives me another passionate kiss.Without breaking the kiss, he raises me onto his desk and begins to run his hand up my leg.His other hand strands in my hair and tugs while his hand climbs farther up beneath my skirt. His warm hand touching my chilled skin causes goosebumps to spread across my entire body, making me shudder.The door flies open as his fingers are about to touch my underwear. Why does this keep happening w
Alessandro's POVI conduct the interviews while Fedele grills the women who are seated at the head of the long table in a conference room, leaning back in my enormous black chair with my arms crossed over my chest.The eleventh person is being interviewed right now.Okay, Ashley Perez—is that accurate? He inquires as he looks over her resume."Yes." She responds courtly."Alright. Your resume here states that you are twenty-one, in your third year of college, and that you previously worked as a waitress at a restaurant a few blocks away. After securing the file, he turns to face her.The woman's mouth briefly opens, but he soon gathers himself and asks, "Why do you want to work here?" after clearing his throat.She adjusts her posture in her chair. You do require extra servers, right? I have experience because I was a waiter. Just that I'll be serving drinks rather than food. Additionally, you guys pay more than my previous employment did, and I need to be able to finance continuing m
Alessandro’s POVDario tries to calm me down while avoiding being struck at the same time as I start throwing everything I can get my hands on. But he can't make me feel better. Della was abducted as I was conducting interviews there, right outside my club.That idiot she told me about is the only person I could think of who would take her. Daisy and she sprinted away from him.I halt my insulting behavior and face Dario "search the internet for "Harold Fedorov." I want to know anything you find out about him! This needs to be finished ASAP!I want to find her and that piece of shit as soon as possible, so enlist the aid of the other guys if you need assistance finding information. DO YOU COMPREHEND?"My voice echoes loudly, making him flinch. Yes, boss,"D-daddy?" A tiny angelic voice can be heard saying.When I turn around and see Daisy standing by the open door in her pajamas holding Tom in her arm, I immediately feel better.Come on in, princess. I say as I stoop down and extend m
Della's POVI stare in disbelief at the woman who is in front of me. She is the last person I considered when attempting to identify my kidnapper.Frankly, the only person who came to mind was Harold; she wasn't one of them. What else would she be doing here, standing in front of me while I'm bound to a chair, unless she knows him and she's working with him?I've only ever met her once. How will Alessandro react when he learns? That is, if he hasn't already learned."Surprised?"Why the hell not! Why are you acting this way? Why would you take me captive? I must leave, Emily. I scream as wrath takes the place of dread in my body.Why would I even consider doing that, you ask? She pulls a knife out of her pocket and spins it between her fingers as she laughs maniacally as she stares down at me with a big smile and her eyes sparkling with glee.The hell? This woman is insane!She puts the knife on the side of my neck, applying a little pressure, stooping down until her face is directly
Della's POV I have so many questions and thoughts rushing through my head.Is she expecting a child with Alessandro?She and Alessandro last hung out when? I assumed I was the only woman in his life.She cannot be carrying his child. It's obvious that she's lying, but what if she isn't?What if she is being truthful? I have no idea what I would do.He is already addressed as "daddy" by Daisy. She has already become close to him. I don't want to separate her from him.The voice of Apricot awakens me from my reverie "Please refrain from crying. This way of looking at you is quite gloomy."My hands are bound to the chair, so I shift my head to the side and wipe away my tears.I want to be sure she is being honest. I need to know that she's at least being honest about her pregnancy, even if I can't be sure it's Alessandro's child.I turn to face her once more, wiping away any expression of emotion, and say, "Let me see your stomach."She wrinkles her brows and casts a long look at the wa
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
