The Mafia Lord's Captive 57.
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

AlessiaI haven't prepared myself properly. I just know that I have tons of questions that I want to ask her. Why did she abandon me? Was the main question that had been nagging me inside. Angelo gave my hand a little peck as we walked to her entrance door. I didn't ask Angelo how he managed to find her because I knew how much effort he was putting into trying to make me happy. And as someone with a connection, it won't be hard for him. "I'm here." He leaned over and whispered to my ear, kissing the side of my face gently. The door was opened and we were directed inside by the housekeeper. "Mrs. Annabelle is waiting for you in her guest room." The young housekeeper told us."Please take us there." She led the way and we followed suit. All the while, I couldn't help but notice the picture frames of a beautiful woman. There are like five of them on the wall then some art painting. We stopped at a door and the housekeeper knocked."Come in." My nervousness kicked in as I heard her voic

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
