The Mafia Lord's Captive 56.
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."

AlessiaWhen Angelo declared that we would be going to New York, I thought he was joking. Until I found myself in front of the airport or should I say inside the plane. The truth of the matter was that we were heading down to New York. Which means I will see my Mom and Dad. The happiness was mixed with nervousness. Yes, I had been looking forward to seeing them for a while now but after finding out all about the lies I've lived all my life, it came down with nervousness. I felt Angelo's hands on my thigh making me look at him. "What's wrong?" He asked in a husky voice. One that made my heart raced. He didn't wake up from sleep. He was just occupied with working on his laptop. Yet, his voice sounded like he could kill all the butterflies in my stomach."I'm nervous," I confessed. "About what?" He asked still in that husky voice. "I don't know. I think everything. I haven't been in New York for months now. I don't know how I would feel seeing Mom and Dad." Angelo heaved out a deep bre

Angelo "Make sure you keep an eye on the warehouse. We can't lose our guard down. I will handle Enzo soon. And put an end to everything. I'm trying to gather some information about his wife." "Okay, Sir. I will call you as soon as I get any news." I ended the call and slipped the phone back into my pocket. I glanced at the beauty salon that was a few miles away from me. The reason why I decided to come to New York with Alessia was because of Enzo. From the little information I got about him, I heard that Alessia's real mother whom he was supposed to be married to knows almost half of his secret. She held a powerful weapon that he couldn't control her even if he wanted to. She owns a convenience store and a beauty salon. It was rumored that she was the reason why he was who he was now. She has some potential people barking her up. I had she doesn't always appear in a public place. She's a private person but powerful like Enzo. I picked up the flowers from the seat and headed ou

AlessiaAngelo said he would be stepping out to make a phone call to Kelvin but it's been half an hour already yet he's not back. I don't know if I was supposed to get worried. I know it wasn't his first time in New York. I mean mafia men visit almost half of the countries in the whole. However, what added to my worry was the fact that he wasn't picking up his call. "What's wrong? Why are you pacing around the room like a pregnant woman." Mom asked as she walked down the stairs."It's Angelo. He told me he'd make a phone call but he hasn't been back up till now." Mom stared at me in thinking before pulling me with her to the couch. It was almost evening time."Don't worry. I know he'd find his way back. He's not a small child. And besides he looks like someone who knows what he's doing. When called me the other day, I didn't expect him to come with you."My brows shoot up in confusion. "He called you? When was that?"Something flickered in her eyes as if she wasn't supposed to say w
