The Mafia Lord's Captive 36.
AlessiaI kept reminding myself that I didn't care about Angelo. He can do whatever he wants to do and I can do whatever I want to do. What I cared about at the moment was the project I was working on. It's been two days already since our last conversation. Some part of me expected him to run over to me or act as if the conversation didn't take place. But what happened was beyond my expectations. Angelo didn't even care about my existence. He acted as if I wasn't even there. The rest of the guys noticed. They knew something was up but no one wants to tell me the fuck that was going on with him. How he changed overnight. I had decided to work my ass off and make sure the fashion runway was a success, when I get paid, I will leave his fucking house. Just like Marco has been doing two days ago, he picked me up from Mrs. Martinez's fashion industry after we had gone through some budget and plans regarding how the event would be. They were right when they said the woman was short-tempered

Angelo"Are you going to let her leave just like that?" A furious Marco busted through the door."Not now, Marco," I said as calmly as I could muster busying myself with arranging my desk which wasn't messy. I just needed something to distract me with whatever shit Marco may have running in his brain."What exactly is wrong with you, Angelo?""It's boss for you Marco. Address me with respect!" I spat, looking up at him with all seriousness in my eyes. Marco was taken aback. The way his eyes were widened to a certain degree showed he wasn't expecting my outburst. I was also surprised at my behavior for the past two days. It was hard to keep on a facade you're not used to.A scoff mixed with an annoyed chuckle found its way out of him. "I now understand why you're all alone, Angelo. You don't care about other people's feelings but yourself. You made her fall for you, gave her hope and now you're sending her away as if nothing happened between you two. I didn't know you were this selfish

AlessiaKissing Angelo had never felt so passionate and scary at the same time as it did at that moment. I am not an emotional wreck person. When my first boyfriend left me, it didn't break me that much. But the cold treatment from Angelo had messed up my heart. I know what I feel for him was genuine. I didn't expect to fall for him in such a way. But here I was, holding on to his shirt, not wanting to let go. Wanting the kiss to continue for eternity. Wishing so badly for him to tell me to stay. A lone tear slid down my cheeks as I gripped his shirt more tightly deepening the kiss. I gave him every entrance to explore my lips. However, that was short-lived when Angelo suddenly pulled away, leaving me craving more of the kiss. More of his touch. "Take care of yourself."His farewell settled in my head with a resounding beating of my chest. His face was away from me. I wished so badly that I would see his face clearly for the last time. To have it stored in my brain for the rest of th

Alessia "Can you move the banner a bit higher, please? So it won't fall off while the models are walking out." I said to one of Mrs. Martinez's staff that was assigned to me to assist me. I watched as everything unfolded. The fashion runaway was finally coming to light. The team and I had worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect. From planning to getting things done. I was proud of myself for coming this far. It wasn't an easy decision to make but I was glad I got the chance to do what I love. There were days that I wanted to give up because of Mrs. Martinez's pressure on changing plans at the last minute. I doubted that maybe I wasn't good enough for her. Maybe it was because Angelo and her husband were friends which was why she chose me. However, as time went on, I discarded any negativity out of my head and did my best to make it the way she wanted. And now, standing in front of the open space ground, I realized how much of a challenge it was for me. How much I brok

Alessia“Congratulations baby girl,” Annie hugged me for the longest time. We had returned home after I turned down the after-party Mrs. Martinez invited me to. I just don’t feel that comfortable in a big crowd and that in a place I’m not familiar with. But most especially, I turned it down because I knew Angelo would be there. I don’t think I can handle being there while he’s around.“Can you free me before you choke me to death?” I said as her arms went tighter around me. She teased me by actually choking me with her hands. We both ended up busting with laughter. “So, what do you plan to do with all the extra reward?” She asked her eyes sparking with mischief. “Are you referring to the money that hasn’t reached me yet?”“Of course, it will reach you. At this stage, you will start getting more jobs. I’m proud of you, Alessia.” Annie flashed a genuine smile. I reached for her hand and squeezed it. “Thank you for all you’ve done. For sheltering me and supporting me. I didn’t expect I

Angelo"Kelvin make sure our men are on standby. Dominic might decide to make noise at any moment. I won't be taken by surprise like last time." I took a sip of my coffee on the accord as I said that"Sure, Sir. I'm thinking maybe we disbursed the funds to the foundation now.""Not yet Kelvin. I want to know Dominic's moves first." Kelvin nodded in understanding. "Is there anything you want me to do?""That will be all for now, Kelvin." My eyes shifted to Marco and Elijah. They hadn't spoken a single word ever since they sat down. It was more like Kelvin was the one making an effort to do his job properly. "Elijah and Marco, looks like you guys needed more training right?" I started, intertwining my hand over the desk. I didn't miss the way Marco scoffed whereas Elijah's face was blank. "Can't you figure out why we're like this?""What do you mean?" I raised a confused brow. Marco bites his bottom lip and lets out a weak smile before fixing his eyes on me. "All this fake meeting." Hi

Angelo"So you're going show up in there, and you think it's a good idea?" Kelvin spoke up breaking the silence that had lingered in the car. We arrived at the location but I suddenly couldn't bring myself to get out of the car. Different thoughts ran through my mind while coming here. I had even pictured how I would punch him in the guts if he tried do to anything silly with Alessia.However, now that I have the chance to do that. I suddenly felt weak. At some point, Kelvin was right. What will it make me if I show up there? I will look like a coward. Yes, you are one. You will just look more stupid. A voice in my head rang. I hit the back of the chair, getting Kelvin to look at me. "Are you going inside or should I turn the car around?" Just when I was about to tell him to turn the car, a notification popped up on my phone. The visible face of Alessia laughing holding her mouth with her palms. The fuck.I was out of the car in no time, darting through the entrance of the five-star

Alessia"Who is that?""I don't know. The person wouldn't speak." I shrugged throwing the phone back on the bed. If not because Annie told me to pick up the call, I wouldn't have moved anywhere near the phone. I was enjoying my time on the bed when her phone decided to turn my ears deaf from the vanity mirror. After disrupting me, making me get down from the bed, and trekking miles to the vanity mirror, the person ended up not saying anything. The audacity of whoever the person was.I crashed back into bed, leaning my back on the pillow connected to the bedboard. "It's an unknown number. If the person is serious, he or she would call again." Annie said after checking the phone. She set it on the nightstand and then joined me in bed."So..." she started fixing her eyes on me."So, what?" I questioned brows creasing. "Tell me about your date. All the details." I didn't resist rolling my eyes. "First of all, it is not a date. Secondly, it is not a date because we only talked business."

AlessiaSix months later"Listen here young woman, you promised to deliver it today. We even signed an agreement so that nothing like this would happen. How can a wedding take place without a cake?" I spared a pacing around Annie a look talking through the phone as she vented her anger at the person from the other end.She stopped pacing and scoffed. "Are you kidding me? You want me to wait for an extra half an hour? Are you sure you're not a fake baker? If only I'm not busy right now. I would have come right there and give you a piece of my mind myself.""Sorry won't fix this woman! You wasted my time. What will my best girl think of me now? How can she go to the wedding venue with half-baked decorations? I'm giving half an hour, If you don't get the cake ready, then expect police at your door!" Annie ended the call and threw it on the vanity mirror."Calm down little tigress. Why are you getting worked up so early in the morning." I said adjusting my sitting position on the bed whil

AlessiaI didn't know how long I had been pacing around the hospital hallway. I was sweating profoundly and my heart was pounding so fast that I was afraid it would pop out of its socket. Seeing the way Angelo's body lifeless body was being carried to the emergency room really scared me to the core. I couldn't find the tears to shed due to how shocked I was. I could only pray. Pray for his recovery. He would be operated on immediately because there was nothing to hold him. At some point, I was glad the hospital was able to get a donor for him. Even though they said it's not guaranteed that it won't cause complications. What mattered to me was to see Angelo back to life. Angelo's mom broke down in tears and requested the doctors to take her kidney. But the doctors declined knowing it would cause more harm than good. We held on to the hope that the surgery would be a success. We were all gathered around. From Angelo's mom, and Annie's parents. Lillian, Kelvin, Elijah, and Marco. I kne

Alessia Two days later"Is everything ready?" Annie popped her head through the curtain she was hiding. "If you're not ready then let's back out. I told you to hide. What if he comes inside now." I threw her a glare.Annie had asked me to help her in making Kelvin confess. I mean I do believe he would do that when he's ready but Annie doesn't want to buy my idea saying unless she pushes him to, he won't take a step and she doesn't want to be the one to do that. We have been coming up with plans for the past two days which hasn't been going through. The first one was a dinner which Kelvin called in for an emergency at the last minute. The second one, Lillian helped too. But it still didn't go well.We then decided to kick him by the ass this time around. Annie would hide behind the curtains while I would attack Kelvin with questions and he'd possibly have no choice but to confess his love. What we did was pretend Annie was sick. "Go." I hushed her when I heard the sound of steps app

AlessiaThe next morning, I left Angelo to rest while I went to his mother's room to check up on her. Annie's mom was the one I met together with her helping her with her hair. "Let me do that." I offered approaching them.Annie's mom handed the elastic hair band to me. We switched positions. I gathered her hair in one place since it was already washed and combed. "How is Angelo?" Came her question. I briefly stopped but continued afterward. "He looks fine. I'm sure he would be." I answered shortly. I rolled her hair into a bun, smoothening the front with my palms. "Thank you. Let me go and check up on him." he declared getting off the bed."I will be right back." I didn't miss to notice the excitement in her voice. Annie's mom and I watched as she slowly made her way out of the door. It would be the first conversation between a mother and son. I hope everything goes well. I silently prayed.Annie later entered the room and took me away with her. She didn't say anything, only grabbed

Alessia I slid the door open and slowly stepped inside, the room was warm but instead, I felt cold engulfing my body as I fixed my eyes on Angelo's form on the bed. He regained consciousness an hour ago. I didn't want to see him then because I was still battling with pain and betrayal. I knew I would fight him off if I had seen him immediately. So, I allowed Kelvin and Annie to see him first until I had composed myself. Angelo sensed a presence in the room, making him to lift his head. The moment our eyes met each other, the tears I'd been hoarding it summoned itself out. I pushed myself forward to his bed. "Hi." He muttered in a weak voice. I kept my gaze on him. I know I told myself I would go all soft but looking at how weak he was demolished the patience I had left inside. "I am not here to exchange greetings with you." He chuckled lightly. "I know you're angry at me." "Yes, I am. I am fuming with rage. I want to hit you so badly for keeping this away from me. Do you think y

AlessiaMy patience had gone thin. It's been hours since Angelo left and he hadn't returned. I don't know why I was feeling bad about everything. Like something was going to happen. The way my heart was thumping inside its rib cage was abnormal. I hope things will go smoothly and Angelo will come back home unhurt. Angelo's mom had gone to sleep after our conversation. I was glad the woman was ready to patch things up with her son. She was ready to be a good mother to him and even prayed for his safe return. The house was still fully guarded with Angelo's men. I even spoke to my parents back home and my mother. But that wasn't enough to elevate the worry inside me. I couldn't sit. The only thing I was doing was pacing around the living, waiting for a call from Angelo or seeing him walk through the door. I felt a hand on my shoulder making me to turn and see Annie standing. "Aren't your legs heavy?" "I'm fine," I answered shortly. "You said that thirty minutes ago. I feel like you s

Angelo "I will go in there first, the moment you get the call from Marco, you blow their empire off," I instructed Kelvin."Yes Sir. Let's spread around guys!" Kelvin clapped his hands to our men. I have implanted some at the warehouse. The weapons that are being kept at the warehouse will be what I will use in bringing Dominic and Enzo down. I had gathered enough evidence already. I ain't going to waver this time around. I had hesitated enough. It's high time I put an end to everything. To prove to my mom that I would be there for her. It doesn't matter whether she still hates me. I will put an end to everything and relieve the guilt inside her.As Kelvin retreated to their den where they would await my orders, I made my way inside Dominic's house. We agreed to meet at his house including Enzo. His men were also parading around. But that won't stop me from carrying out what I intended to do. I will go smoothly with them and if they still don't go by my books, I will go hard. I me

AlessiaWhen we landed in Italy, Elijah picked us up at the airport and we went straight to Angelo's mother's house. Angelo had been calm all the while but I know how much the situation hurts me. He made a few phone calls to tighten the security around. The house was guarded with security all around with their guns. They all bowed down to Angelo in respect. Annie, her mom, and Marco were the ones we met in the living room. They were surprised to see us because we didn't inform them we would be coming. Annie rushed up to me and hugged me. "You guys didn't call.""We had to rush here.""I'm sorry Angelo for not telling you about Aunt's situation." Annie apologized to Angelo with her head cast down."It's not your fault. Where is she?" I know he was eager to see her mother. And I hope she'll give him a chance to see her."She's in her room. She doesn't want to talk to anyone. Please talk to her Angelo." Annie almost panicked as she said that.I saw Angelo's jaw clenched. "It's fine.""

AlessiaIn a matter of seconds, Angelo's hot lips were all over my body. I shifted my head to the side to give him more access. It has been long since my body got so hot because of his touch. With his lips still showering hot kisses on my body, he pushed us to the bed with his big body atop mine."I fucking missed your body." He whispered as he slightly pulled away. Nothing was dancing in his eyes but pure lust mixed with love. Yes, I know Angelo loves me as much as I do. No more pretense between us."I'm going to go insane if I don't touch each and every inch of your body today. But I'm scared of your parents hearing your moans through this wall." A chuckle didn't fail to escape me."What happened to I don't get a dime what people think? I thought you said that at the airport.""I did and I meant my word. But it would look weird to have that serious conversation and then fuck his daughter that same day in his house." My smile widened. I was happy about the fact that Angelo respect my
