Alessandro's POV I fix my suit again, despite the fact that I just did it two minutes ago. I'm a nervous wreck right now, which irritates me because I don't get nervous.Della is the only person who can make me feel this way, and I don't like it, but I'd go through it all for her because she's worth it.I try to straighten out my suit as much as I can.I quickly wipe my sweaty palms on my pants before anyone notices.My eyes immediately meet hers as I raise my head. I can't seem to look away for some reason. It's almost as if I'm in a trance.She starts walking down the aisle with her arm interlocked with my father's. We both keep our gazes fixed on each other the entire journey, neither of us looking away.As she gets closer, my gaze spans her entire body from head to toe. Her beautiful white dress complements her perfectly, as does the makeup on her face and her curly hair. Her high heels make her appear taller, but she doesn't need them because she isn't short."Thank you, dad," s
Alessandro’s POVThe guests start clapping and cheering, but I don't pay attention to them. All I can think about right now is how badly I want to pick Della up in my arms, carry her to bed, and make love to her all night.After a few seconds, the priest clears his throat and says, "Well then, congratulations to the newlywed couple!"Before pulling back, I give her one last kiss. Daisy approaches us almost immediately and hugs both Della and me."We can now be a bigger family, and I'll have a lot more brothers!!" She exclaims, clapping her hands and bouncing on her heels.Then I remember how she wasn't even surprised when Della told her she was having a baby brother."How long have you known mommy is having a baby?" I ask, raising an eyebrow."I knew since the time when, uncle Dario ki-" she exclaims.Her sentence is cut off by slapping her hands over her mouth, and her eyes widen.This action of hers piqued my interest right away."What is it about uncle Dario?" I wonder as I watch h
Della's POVAt first, Alessandro appears surprised, but as he pulls his head back, he recognizes who it is and a small smile forms on his face. Rather than hugging her, he places his hands on her shoulders and pulls her away from him."I'm sorry, it's old habits," she says with an embarrassed laugh, pushing her hair behind her ear.Alessandro looks at me and wraps his arm around my waist "This is Ava, my baby. Ava, this is Della, my wife.""We’ve met before." I say, drawing his gaze between us."Yes, I assisted her with her dress." With a friendly smile on her face, Ava responds."I'm sorry, how do you two know each other?" I shake my head as Alessandro nods."Oh, Ava is an old acquaintance of mine." Alessandro gives me his assurance. "She used to be my date to certain events years ago.""I was there to keep the money-hungry females at bay. We were truly good friends, but I had to relocate for a business opportunity, and we lost contact." She says this with a sad expression on her fac
Della’s POV"Favio!" Daisy's bodyguard, who is watching her and Sebastian dance to a slow song, is summoned.As Favio makes his way over to us, I smile and ask, "Boss?"He uses a firm tone when speaking to Favio "Make sure the kids are inside within an hour. I want you to stand outside Daisy's door and not move until someone else takes your place during rotations. Do you get what I'm saying?""Of course, boss," says Favio, nodding his head.We're about to leave when Alessandro comes to a halt and returns his attention to Favio. "Place Sebastian in the room adjacent to Daisy's. I don't want them to sleep in the same room. Oh, and please do not fucking interrupt us."Favio immediately shakes his head, "You won't be disturbed, boss, and I'll have the kids in their rooms in an hour.""Good." He says this before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside with him. "All right, come on.""What are we going to do?" I ask, looking back to see Daisy and Sebastian laughing at each other."To bed." H
Alessandro’s POV"Baby, the resting was for you," I sigh."One more round?" She asks, shaking my head and kissing me."If you want, I'll give you a hundred rounds." I say winking at her.With a smirk on her face, she hands grab my hips, and grips my cock, positioning it at her entrance.She moans in pleasure and closes her eyes as she slides down on me, her head falling back. I hold her hips and move mine in tandem with hers as she moves steadily up and down my cock.This lady is everything I could ever want. We have our ups and downs, but she is truly perfect in my eyes. She has given me so much, and I am grateful to her.When I told her who I am, she didn't run away or call me a monster. She let me see Daisy when we weren't talking, despite the fact that Daisy isn't really my daughter.Even though another woman is carrying my child, she still married me.Della's pregnancy with my child makes me internally smile. I'm still not over it. Even the smallest thought of it makes me happy.
Alessandro's POVI resist the urge to literally throw someone through the fucking wall right now. I've done some shit before in my life, but this? How sick in the head does one have to be to attach a decapitated head to a seven year olds fucking stuffed animal?!Looking inside of the box again, I notice a note placed under the stuffed pony's body.I stick my hand inside and grab it out, before reading it aloud.Gattanis,I wanted to send a congratulatory gift for your wedding. You didn't think that we wouldn't find out, did you? I must say, bravo on the security. The gift that I sent you is meant to be for two people... well, three people. The bottom half of your gift is for the happy couple. I figured that little Daisy flower might be missing her pony. The top half, that is for my dear, Natalie. I know you know who this head belongs to. The man was terrible and never wanted to follow any rules, but he was one of mine nonetheless. Do make sure that you keep his head safe, darling. I'l
Della's POVAlessandro wasn't in bed with me when I woke up. I expected him to be, but I guess something important came up.I took a shower, brushed my teeth, did my hair, and changed my clothes before someone knocks on the door.I approached it and opened the door, meeting Abbey face to face."I just wanted to let you know, Mrs. Gattani, that breakfast is ready." She tells me politely, with a small smile on her face."I'll be down in a minute, please." I reassure her before she nods and walks away.When my phone begins to ring on the bedside table, I close the door and walk over to it. Looking at the screen, it appears to be from a private number. I consider ignoring the call at first, but then I grab my phone and press the answer button."Hello?" My voice is barely above a whisper as I speak.There is silence for a few seconds before I hear Hailey's voice "Della, we need to meet in person again. We have a lot to talk about.""I'm afraid I can't, Hailey." While shaking my head, I say
Alessandro's POVAfter Tiffany informed me that Ava was waiting for me at the gate, I rose from my chair and walked outside."I apologize, boss. I wasn't sure if you knew who she was." As I approach them, Favio immediately explains to me.Favio is pointing his gun at Ava, who has her hands in the air. I'm clenching my fists because of her expression."Put that fucking gun away right now!" I yell, and he immediately puts it away. "I don't want any of you ever pointing a gun at her!"Ava rushes up to me, wrapping her arms around my waist. I return the hug, pressing her against my chest."What's the matter, Ava?" I inquire, comfortingly rubbing her arm.She pulls away and crosses her arms nervously across her chest. "I'd like to speak with you about something."I nod my head toward the house and take her hand in mine. "Come on, people. We'll discuss it in my office."We walk into the building and make our way to my office, but we come to a halt when someone coughs. I come face to face wi
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
