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
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
AlessiaExhausted yet excited, I finally stepped out of the airport terminal, my trolley clattering along behind me. A sharp breath escaped my lips as I took in the sight before me, my eyes wide with disbelief. Italy. I was actually in Italy, and what's more, the trip wasn't putting a dent in my bank account. Winning this all-expenses-paid journey was a dream come true, even if Italy wasn't exactly my top bucket-list destination. Still, the attraction of the country had always held a special place in my heart, thanks to the countless pictures I'd seen on the news and social media.Just as I let the thrill of the moment wash over me, my phone rang, jolting me from my reverie. With a smile tugging at my lips, I swiped to answer, holding the phone to my ear. "Hey Mom," I greeted, my voice a mix of excitement and fatigue. "I've arrived safely. Don't worry, I'll fill you in on everything once I'm settled in my hotel room. Give Dad a hug for me. Love you, Mom."Before she could respond, I q
Alessia"How... how do you know me?" I managed to whisper, my voice trembling, the question hanging in the air like an unspoken promise. There was something inexplicable in the way our gazes had locked, as though an invisible thread connected us, binding me to this enigmatic man who now held my destiny in his hands.But he didn't answer. Instead, he turned his attention back to his phone and began speaking in rapid Italian, words that slipped through my grasp like elusive whispers. My heart quickened when I heard him mention something about bringing women. I clenched the hem of my dress, my fingers trembling. Perhaps he assumed I couldn't understand Italian. This could be my chance, my only chance.As the journey stretched on, every minute felt like an eternity. Panic coiled within me as the car continued to speed through unfamiliar territory. We had been driving for more than an hour, and my heart raced with uncertainty.Suddenly, breaking through the tense silence, the man turned to
AngeloMy mind raced with a ruthless decision. I hadn't bid on her for nothing. She was the price, the perfect pawn in this twisted game of revenge against that despicable mafia boss, Dominic. I needed something to even the score, and she was the potent weapon I now possessed.I watched with a predator's gaze as she stripped down naked before me, her fear rendering her body weak, exactly as I wanted it to be. She had dared to defy me, to claim she wasn't a whore to my face. She was in no position to question me.As she stopped before me, my eyes devoured her body with a hungry, lustful gaze. My arousal grew undeniable, and my shaft hardened at the mere sight of her. With the commanding authority in my voice, I ordered, "Come here."Her eyes widened, and her body quivered as I discarded the covers from my body, exposing my rock-hard shaft, demanding release. "Be on your knees," I commanded, my voice dripping with dominance. I saw the fear in her eyes deepen, and I relished in it. "Giv
AngeloA sinister smile curled on my lips as I saw the fear in her eyes, just as I desired. I was a man in control, and no one defied me. "Clean yourself up and get ready to join the maids." I declared.Alessia's shocked expression clouded her eyes and she stuttered "M...aids?" I cast a cold look at her and affirmed, "Yes, from today, you'll be my maid and also my sex slave." She should prepare herself to serve me. Mercilessly. "Please let me go. I have a life ahead of me. My parents, my career. I promise not to tell anyone what I saw. I swear on my life." She began begging, pleading for her freedom.But her pleas fell on deaf ears as I slapped her hard, making her stagger back. I warned her, "Next time, I'd cut off one of your fingers if you mention anything about me letting you go."Leaving her in the room, I stormed out, my mind already plotting the next move in this twisted game.I made my way downstairs, and as I did, my personal guard, Kevin, approached me with a look of urge
Alessia"Put the knife down, Alessia." The maid made slow advances towards me, yet I held the knife firmly over my neck. Maybe if I pulled a stunt, Angelo would let me go. There was no way in hell I would sit idle and allow him to control my life. I couldn't sleep last night, kept thinking about my family back at home. I was sure they had tried reaching out to me. If I knew this was what I would go through, I would've declined the trip offer."Don't take a step, or I swear I will slit my neck," I warned, holding the knife tightly."Do you know you're endangering your life by holding the knife on your neck?" The maid said but didn't make another move."Oh, you know the weapon I'm holding is dangerous. Isn't my life here a danger already? Let me go! I don't want to be here!" I shouted on top of my lungs. As I took a step back, my body hit something hard."Put that knife down." A surge of weakness passed through my body onto my legs as Angelo's deep voice attacked my ears. That made me l
AlessiaI have never showered so fast in my life as I did today. Angelo's warning rang in my head as I got ready for God knows where he was taking me. I opted for the same style of dressing – jeans and a top. I didn't care to apply lotion or powder to my face; I didn't see the need. This was going to be my first time seeing the outside since Angelo took me. I won't sit back, and I don't know how I was going to do it, but I'm going to give it a try."What is this you're wearing?" came Angelo's voice as I descended down. His eyes raked over my body from head to toe. I did the same. "Clothes, of course," I answered."I know they're clothes, but you look like an orphan.""What?" I said in disbelief, anger building up inside me. The dots connected in my head. I looked at him straight in the eye. "Well... I guess you made me an orphan. I'm here against my will when I have a family out there. You can actually call me an orphan," I said bitterly. Something flickered in his eyes – a familiar r

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
