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

AlessiaI sat on my bed with my head between my head, replaying Angelo's words in my head. It was a shocking revelation that I had never expected. Yes. I won't deny the fact that I was angry at him for hiding such a deep secret from me. But the main thing hitting my chest was my parents hiding the truth from me. It was a bitter revelation that I had never expected to happen to me.I didn't have a normal person as a father but a mafia leader, who kills without. Who was the cause of the parent to the only man I've ever loved. The sound of my phone ringing made me lift my head. Mom's name was plastered on the screen. I wiped the tears off my face before sliding the green button and putting the phone on speaker mode."Hey, Alessia. How are you? Have you arrived at the airport?" came Mom's voice. I felt something hit my chest. I gripped the bed covers. "Not yet Mom. But soon." I answered. She catches up to my weak voice. "What's wrong with your voice? Are you okay?""Yes. I'm having a sor

AlessiaFor the first time in a while, I felt lighthearted as Angelo reciprocated my hug by wrapping his arms around me. We stayed like that for some time, discarding everything in the background but the feeling of our warmth. I itched to do more than hug but held myself back. I want him to make the move first. I have a lot I want to pour out but prefer to indulge in the moment first. I don't know when next he will hold me like this. "Oh my! Did I interrupt something?" Annie's voice was fast followed by the door closing again. We pulled away. I cast my head down suddenly feeling awkward. "Um...you should come down. You haven't eaten." Angelo said making a walk to the door. "Can you ask Lillian to bring it to my room? I don't feel like going out." Angelo's eyes darted left to right before he nodded and left.I inhaled a deep breath. There are a lot of things that need to be solved now. I need to know the reason why my real parents abandoned me. Why they didn't want me in their lives.

AlessiaI woke up to find my side of the bed empty. The room was still calloused with the scent of Angelo. I sniffed in the bed covers replaying last night. We cuddled to sleep. "Rise and shine baby girl," I said to myself stretching my body. A yawn escaped me as I got out of bed. I returned to my room, took a shower, and changed before heading downstairs. Annie was the only person I saw seated on the couch with a laptop placed on her lap. "Good morning, lover girl." She said as soon as I crashed down next to her. "And what is that supposed to mean?" I asked my eyes darting left to right looking at her with a serious face."Everyone knows you and Angelo have reconciled." She nudged my arm with a teasing brow. "Everyone? By everyone do you mean your boyfriend Kelvin? Because last time I checked Elijah doesn't have much gossip side to him and Marco is not in this house. So it has to be Kelvin." She cleared her voice instead."By the way, where are the men? I didn't find Angelo in bed."
