The Mafia Lord's Captive 50.
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

AngeloI couldn't sleep a wink last night. My peace of mind was at stake. Yes, it was what I wanted. For Alessia to return to her home. But why do I feel a hole in my heart? Why do I feel an emptiness inside me? When she asked me to tell her that I love her. It nearly killed me. I so badly wanted to hold her tight but what difference will it make when she'd eventually leave. And it would hurt us both. I had already hurt her feelings several times. If I give her hope, it would make matters worse. I hadn't prayed for morning to take longer to arrive like I did last night knowing Alessia would leave me. For good. Was my heart ready to accept that? No. Will I let her go? Yes. A knock sounded on my door followed by Kelvin stepping inside. He was about to stretch his hand on the light switch when I halted him. I prefer the darkness. The way my heart was in darkness. Alessia is my only source of light and she's leaving me. Kelvin withdrew his hand and trekked down to my bed, also taking h
