Alessandro's POVAs soon as I hear a gunshot, then two more, I immediately whip out my revolver. I don't waste any more time and sprint in the direction it came from.I hear someone speaking as I approach the back of the home, but I am unable to identify the speaker or even what they are saying.I gently nudge open the door next to me and enter the pitch-black space. They emerge from the building shortly after and begin to move down the hallway. I wait until they leave the room before leaving quietly without making a sound, and then I can see who it is.Pedro, you're giving me the willies.He also has my queen and my little princess with him. He is holding my infant in his bitch ass while actually pointing a gun at my wife.I approach them from behind, moving slowly closer. I draw his arm back until I'm close enough to quickly seize the revolver out of his hand and point my gun at his head."Fuck." They all halt and turn around as he instructs."D-daddy!" Daisy screams frantically whi
Della's POVSince a few hours ago, we've all been waiting in the living room awaiting word from the doctor regarding Camillo's condition.Daisy is dozing off in my arms while it is almost daybreak outside. I look up at Alessandro as he approaches and stands just in front of me."Let me put her to bed here," I said. He replies as he carefully takes her from my arms and reaches below.Daisy utters a few little moans before wrapping her arms around Alessandro's neck and instantly becoming still once again.After turning and going upstairs to put her in her cozy bed, he leaves.I sigh and feel my stomach grumble out of nowhere.I'm going to have a bite to eat. I say as I get up and walk over to the kitchen, not to anyone in particular.When I get there, I go to the fridge and open it, then I take a bunch of stuff out and put it on the counter. Before preparing my meal, I do the same by opening the pantry.When I'm done, I take a seat by myself at the long dining room table and enjoy the d
Della’s POVDaisy is no longer sound asleep next to me when I slowly open my eyes. I stretch while lying on my back, yawn, and then get up and enter Daisy's bathroom.I swiftly wash my face and grab a second brand-new toothbrush to brush my teeth before using mouthwash.I finish doing everything and go downstairs to look for Daisy. I observe as I continue down the corridor that Camillo's room's door is open. As I approach, voices can be heard, and when I look inside, I see Daisy on the bed talking to Camillo, who is sitting up and grinning."You're fine," I said. I speak to myself more so than to him in a relieved tone.When he notices me, he looks up and beams even wider. "Della, come in!" he calls.I approach his bed and kneel down to gently hug him so as not to injure him. "I'm so relieved to see you alive and well, Camillo."I'll confess that I was a little bit frightened, but as I briefly passed away and then immediately returned back to life, I came to a realization…I inhale de
Della's POVI recheck my phone as I sit down at the table, my right leg twitching with anticipation.At this moment, it is 1:00 PM. For the past 23 minutes, I have been waiting for this person to arrive. Although I realize now that I shouldn't have gone, something in my stomach kept telling me to go.I don't care if you think I'm stupid; I simply needed to know who this person is.I look at my phone once more and notice that it has barely been a minute. Perhaps coming here wasn't such a good idea after all.I reach for my purse to start walking away, but a hand on my shoulder prevents me from doing so.Going away so soon? I turn to face the question from the voice.My breath comes out as my anxiety finally subsides."I apologize for being late for our meeting." She informs me as she sits down in front of me. I had to make up a story about where I was going in order to avoid being tracked.It's all right, Hailey. I remark as I set my bag back down on the desk.You all right? She asks m
Alessandro's POVI watch from a distance as Pedro lies on the ground, blood pooling all around him."Do it already if you're going to kill me," He begged with a raspy voice.I laugh sarcastically and approach him "You believe you merit a quick death? I'm going to make you suffer after everything you've done before putting an end to your pitiful existence."Before I move over to the table against the wall, I give him a hard kick in the stomach, causing him to grunt and curl up even more.I scan everything, and a Penitent Filipinos whip catches my attention. I grab it, move back over to Pedro, pull my arm back, swing at him, and hit him on the back.I continue speaking despite his pained cries. I'm currently fueled solely by anger as a result of what my daughters have experienced. Because of the information he has, I wanted to keep this kid alive, but after his most recent prank, I decided to fuck the information.He's turned into a total pain in my behind, and I can't keep him around a
Della's POVI hit the person behind me in the stomach with all my might, forcing him to release his grip.I quickly turn around and meet her face-to-face."Dario?!" I cry out in disbelief.You're stronger than you look Della, he groans, clutching his gut."Why the hell are you doing that? You almost caused me to have a heart attack!" I scream at him as I comb my hands through my hair."I'm sorry, but I noticed you leave the house alone so I followed you," he says as he walks in front of me.Incredulous, I ask him, "Really?"You're not supposed to go without telling anyone, Della, you know that. He tells me, his head shaking.When was I supposed to request permission to leave Alessandro’s house, I wondered? I ask with my arms crossed.He approaches me closely "You do not need to request permission. Just letting you know that it's risky and that you ought to have informed someone of where you were going. You could have brought a guard with you, just in case someone was following you. Di
Alessandro’s POVI enter the room and hear the shower running as I notice the bathroom door closed.While I wait for Della to leave, I sit on the side of the bed with my elbows resting on my knees.She exits the restroom with a tiny towel wrapped around her after about ten minutes.My gaze gently moves down her body before returning to the top.She looks at me when I get up and walk up to her. The moment I start to move, she snatches the towel and starts to step backwards till her back meets the wall.She swallows hard and looks down as I put my hands on her waist.You drive me fucking insane, you know that, my jaw clenches.She doesn't say anything, so I put my finger under her chin and raise her head."My fucking dick and balls hurt because I haven't had sex in months. When I do fuck you—and believe me, I will—I'll do it for so long and with such force that you won't be able to move for a week." She looks wide as she feels my hardness against her as I say as I thrust my hips forward
Alessandro's POVI keep looking at the man who is in front of Della and me. He's giving me an irritated face as he looks at me.I came here to have fun, after all. His arms are crossed over his chest. Do you mind if I have fun with her because she's the one I want to be with?His gaze turns to Della, and he gives her a quick look-over while grinning slightly.Who the hell is kidding me? I'm going to kill him now, for crying out loud!I turn Della in my arms and give her a long kiss on the forehead while keeping my gaze fixed on this guy.Baby, enter my office and shut the door behind you. I tell her, leaving no space for discussion in my tone.She slowly turns and moves toward my office, leaving me and the man alone.What the fuck is your problem, dude? he asks as he turns to face Della as she walks away.He plainly has no idea to whom he is referring.I nod towards Andy as I make eye contact with another bouncer in the area, and he soon approaches. While Andy yells and attempts to pu
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
