The Mafia Lord's Captive 49.
Alessia Annie was standing at the entrance door pacing around as I returned home. The moment she sighted me, she rushed up to me. One look at my face was enough for her to understand things didn't turn out well. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry." She whispered.I stood there like an ice block, recalling all the bitter memories. I thought there was still hope. I don't know why Angelo was doing what he was doing, but I was done chasing him. I was done holding up to hope. "It's over, Annie." I finally confessed."I'm now convinced that Angelo doesn't want me back. It's over between us. We-" I choked at my words, feeling my heart breaking at the memories. "I love him but it's over, Annie." The tears found their way out of my eyes. Annie's hand didn't stop roaming around my back in a comforting way, while my eyes didn't stop pumping tears out. I buried my head in Annie's body and cried my eyes out. I needed to allow all the tears to flow down today so t

One month later AlessiaI hummed to the soft beat rising in the room as I blow dry my hair. Recently I had gotten attached to a particular song I came across on a TikTok viral video. Since then, I have been playing it on repeat. In the morning when I'm doing my morning routine and in the night when I'm working. It had been going on that way. It irritates Ryan to the core that whenever he comes to my room, he covers up his ears but now he is already used that he doesn't show a sign of irritation whenever I play the song.The real reason behind my attachment was because the song speaks a lot about me. I felt like I could relate to the artist. It was a way of hiding my inner feelings.A knock sounded on the door. I didn't bother to look at the person stepping in knowing it would be the housekeeper, Nikita. However, the clearing of the familiar voice made me look at the door to see Ryan standing hands stuffed inside his pocket with a sly smile on his face."Wow. You don't even give notic

Angelo"Sir.""What is it, Kelvin," I asked looking at him through the mirror as I made my tie. I was finally going to go out today. I can't remember when last I went to a gathering. I had turned down the invitations that were being sent to me because I didn't see the need to attend. "I have news," Kelvin said. I oiled my hair and styled it by the side. "If it's about Dominic then hold it to yourself." Over the weeks that have passed, I haven't been in contact with Dominic. The man had gotten his attention on somewhere else while I had mine in another direction. Searching for Alessia. It's been one month. One fucking without knowing about her whereabouts. I had even fought with Annie for not taking better care of her. The argument was so big that Annie threatened to file a report against me. I only freed her because wasting my time with her was meaningless not like I was afraid of her threats. I couldn't forget the fact that Alessia's disappearance was all my fault. I had shown he

AlessiaI could feel the tension rising in the room topped with my heart beating faster all of a sudden. I could feel a heated gaze on me but was too afraid to turn around. "Are you nervous already?" Ryan's hand went to the small of my back, leaning forward."Not really. It's just that it had been a while since I came out like this." I lied even though it was partly true. I don't know how his father will react to seeing me and his son together. Ryan had his playful smile on until it faded away all of a sudden. My heart thumped as I asked Ryan. "What's wrong?"He didn't say anything and instead took a step forward, the action from him didn't fail to make my stomach churn with something hot. "It doesn't matter whether he's here.""Who?" I asked even though I was ninety percent aware of what he was referring to. "Angelo."My body went rigid. The intensity of the way Ryan was looking at me was nothing compared to the way I was feeling regarding the news.I was going to turn around when R

AlessiaTension arose in my heart as Angelo's eyes burned into mine. Anyone could tell I wasn't in good shape. Ryan took a step forward and blocked my way. "What are you doing here?" He said to Angelo.A smile erupted from Angelo. He didn't take a step back nor did he take a step forward. "I don't think that is a question I would want to give you an answer to.""I thought you were here for your father's anniversary why are you leaving so soon?" he added."That is none of your business. You should focus on your business and stop poking your nose in matters that don't concern you." Ryan spat. "Of course, it concerns me because you're together with something that is mine." If I said his words didn't anger me, I would be lying. I pulled Ryan back, standing in front of him the way I would be facing Angelo. "What do you want?" I asked without any sign of play on my face."I want us to talk.""About what?"His eyes went to Ryan. "Some things that don't need strangers interference." A scoff

Angelo I know I promised myself that I wouldn't let Alessia go if I set my eyes on her. But after seeing her, and the words she threw at me, something chained me down. And just like that, I watch her walk away from me. Without taking any action. Without trying to hold her back.Funny enough, the lies I kept telling myself that I had moved on hit me like a ton of bricks. How could I not dig deeper into the research? I wasted a month over searching for her and in the end, I allowed her to slip away from me. My phone vibrates from my pocket snapping me out of my trance. I picked it up without checking the caller ID. "Hello, dear friend. No time no talk. Your thought just crossed my mind and I decided to call to see how you're doing." My jaw clenched hearing the familiar voice of Dominic."Cut the bullshit, Dominic, what do you want!" I spat. I know for a fact that Dominic wouldn't call me just like that unless he has something off his sleeves."Meet me in my house. I have some business

Alessia"Gosh! We're finally home!" I exclaimed crashing on the couch. I rubbed my palms over my tummy. "Someone would think I'm pregnant with your child with the amount of food you fed me this night," I said.A sly smile curved up his lips as he joined me on the couch, loosening his tie. He didn't have to say anything for me to know what was going on in his head. I threw him a glare. "Don't even dare. I've delivered my job successfully with an extra. So I'm freed." His eyes darted left to right. "Well, I'm thankful for that. But that doesn't mean it's the end." I said upright confused at his words."I don't get. I thought the agreement was to rile him up a bit?" Ryan's face fell and he exhaled a deep breath squatting closer. The proximity and the way his eyes were swirling with something I couldn't put my finger on, didn't sit well with me. He looked into my eyes. Intently. "It's totally up to you to back out, but...." He trailed off, his eyes going down to my lips. I clenched my d

AlessiaI locked the door and pulled out the keys before carrying my bag and heading downstairs. The big living room was quiet as usual. And I doubt the housekeeper has woken up since it was still pretty early. I dropped my bag on the couch and then headed to the kitchen. I decided to make breakfast for Ryan before leaving. After the call with my Mom, she later handed it over to my Dad. I felt some kind of peace talking to them. It made me realize no matter the hardship, if you have your parents' good support, you won't lack anything. I don't remember when last I entered the kitchen to cook. I had trouble locating some things in Ryan's kitchen because I hadn't even been inside before. The housekeeper is always busy in the kitchen. Now that I have it to myself, it felt strange. The refrigerator was loaded with groceries of all kinds making it hard for me to know what to make. After some research on the internet, I decided to make chicken broth and noodles with some salad.With the he

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
