UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Orders To Kill Alessandra Scavelli.
ALESSANDRA I searched the entire mansion for my husband, but he was nowhere to be found. Guilt consumed me when I thought about how I had treated him, like a heartless monster, incapable of feeling any human emotion because of the lives he took. But he was no different from me, a victim of the world he was born into.After a while, I gave up and decided to go to Mia instead. She was the one I always confided in with all my problems, mainly because she was such a great listener.When I reached her room, I noticed guards stationed outside, which immediately set off alarm bells in my head. They greeted me and allowed me to pass through, but I noticed the door was locked. I turned to them with a stern expression and asked, “Why is the door locked?”They share a look with each other before one of them responded, “It's being locked from within. Dante instructed us to come fetch you to join her and guard the door until he returned.”“Why? Is there something wrong?” My eyes darted between u

ALESSANDRA “What?!”Mia walked out of the bathroom fully dressed as her eyes flickered between Dante and Rocco. Before I could say anything, she stepped in front of me and raised her arms in the air in a protective stance. Her eyes blazed with fire as she declared, “No one's going to kill my sister!”Warmth spread through my heart as Dante and Rocco shared a look between themselves. I understood what that meant from afar, and the sight alone made me push my sister behind me just before Dante could approach her. ““Please explain what you just said,” I implored. But it was clear that Dante wasn't going to speak as long as Mia was present. I had a feeling he hadn't expected her to still be awake at this late hour. So I turned to Mia and asked, “Mia, could you give us a moment to talk?”Mia shook her head defiantly, her stubborn gaze locked on the two of them. Even though her voice cracked with fear, she still said, “No way, Alessandra. I'm not going to let these men take you away from
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Visiting Him In A Safehouse.
ALESSANDRA Dante drove me blindfolded to a safe house, far from the De Castello mansion. I had no idea where he was taking me, but I wasn’t scared. He had let me keep my phone, knowing Mia would be frightened if she woke up and I wasn’t there.When we finally arrived, I stepped inside, scanning my surroundings for any clues about our location, but there were none. Leonardo was clearly smart enough to keep this place a well-guarded secret.Dante led me to the stairs. We walked silently, each of us lost in our own thoughts. His steps were quick and eager, revealing his desire to see his older brother.He finally stopped when we arrived in front of a room, door closed. He turned to me and said, “Wait here, I will go and find out what's going on first.”I slowly nodded, watching surprise flicker across his face. He didn't expect me to agree so easily to his request, but all I wanted was to confirm Leonardo's well being with my own eyes. After Dante entered the room, I leaned against the
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Rewarding Him With Pleasure.
ALESSANDRAThe entire room was filled with our labored breaths, our scents infused with sweat and lust as we movedagainst each other. My whole body threatened to combust under his touches and his words. When he captured my lips once again, I instantly melted into the kiss, chasing his mouth with mindless hunger. Leonardo chuckled against my lips, his eyes filled with amusement and happiness. He leaned back to study me, his gaze growing heated. He asked me, “Are you sure about this, Alessandra?”I knew this was his way of being considerate towards me but I didn't need it. His habit of undermining my efforts didn't sit well with me in this moment, so I rolled my hips wordlessly, pressing my core against him. “Ah!” Leonardo's breath hitched, throwing his head back to reveal his his tight neck cords. His hips buckled immediately, seeking more friction but I managed to retain control. His large hands gripped my thighs roughly as he rocked against me, trying to force me into submission.
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Artyom Is Dead.
LEONARDO In the middle of the night....I stood in the balcony, admiring the beautiful moon in the sky. A cigarette hung from my lips while I reflected over what happened between me and Alessandra. When she barged into the room earlier, her eyes filled with worry and tears, I was so fucking happy that I gotten such a fatal gunshot wound. We'd been fighting a lot since we got married, but this was the first time she apologized, willing to do anything to make things right. Her heart and body were so open that I couldn't resist, even if it meant getting burned.Now, she was back in my bed and my life. I had no intention of letting her escape again. She always claimed she didn’t care about what I did in my private time, but she couldn't stand seeing any woman near me. Deep down, she knew she owned me, whether she admitted it or not.But this ownership was also a two-way street. I grew hard again, thinking about how sweet her moans sounded in my ears like a fucking love song. Her body cr
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Even If The World Burns...
LEONARDOThree days later, Keith finally gave his medical consent for me to resume work. Even though my subtle threats and aggressive demeanor had worked with him, there was still someone else who wasn't too happy to let me leave. “I still don't think you are ready, Leo,” Alessandra complained. These days, she had been very attentive and sweet towards me, refusing to leave my side. Although I was very happy seeing her new change towards me, she had become very vigilant in my affairs.I pulled her close, inhaling her sweet jasmine scent as color splashed across her cheeks. She was wearing one of my black shirts with nothing underneath, and she looked incredibly sexy. I still hadn't created a plan to seduce h again, but I had decided she would end up beneath me before I resumed work.“I have some unfinished business to take care of, babe,” I pressed my lips to her temple as she ran her hands over my torso. Alessandra seemed to like my body more than she cared to admit, something I ment
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Retrieving A Piece Of Paper
ALESSANDRA Despite my efforts to keep Leonardo away from his business, he still managed to escape after leaving me nearly brain-dead from his fucking. I grew hungry after such a rigorous exercise so I came down to eat. As I reached the stairs, I spotted Rocco speaking with the guards in the living room. The moment he saw me, he turned and hurried away.It felt satisfying to watch him flee, especially since I had forgotten to report his actions to Leonardo. My plans had vanished the moment I saw my husband injured and weak that day. I was so relieved when we finally saw each other, causing me to wave the white flag between us. The truth was, I still hated his job as the head of an entire mafia organization but the only difference was I didn't want anything to happen to him. Especially since my father was actively trying to kill him. Leonardo seemed determined to be follow through with his plan to carry out that secret trade, and my father was never going to let him succeed. I overh
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) The Only Thing That Turns Her On.
ALESSANDRA I sat in the back passenger seat, checking my phone as we drove down the street. Spotting the gym around the corner, I knew we were getting close, so I texted Bianca again. My heart pounded in my ears as I anxiously waited for the distraction I needed, but it didn't come.Just as I was about to reach out to one of my father's people in the city, the car jolted, causing me to lurch forward. Once everyone recovered from the shock, one of the men, whom I assumed to be the leader, turned to check on me. “Ma’am, are you alright?”“Yes, I am,” I replied, my chest heaving. The men stepped out to examine the damage, and I smiled with relief as I watched them talking to the other driver.I quietly snuck through the back door and blended into the streets. This was not the first time I was doing it anyway, but it was something I swore I would never do again when my father pushed a man's teeth down his throat for taking me out on a movie date. But I was very good at this. I avoided a

UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Leonardo Doesn't Want Her Anymore?
ALESSANDRA I woke up in the late in the night with a throbbing headache and pain over all my body. It took me some time to realize that I was lying on the couch in an office. The heavy scent of medicine told me that I had been treated, and memories rushed to me. Orlando...beating me....trying to rape me.A single tear slipped down my cheeks as I released a pained sob escaped my lips, when I tried to move a bit. Compared to the incident with Noah, I felt like this one topped the my list of traumatizing experiences I had gone through. I really thought Orlando was going to have his way with me until Leonardo arrived. As I continued to cry, a pair of arms suddenly pulled me up, drawing me closer to a warm body. When I recognized his body scent, fresh tears poured down my cheeks and hugged him tighter.Leonardo stroked my hair tenderly and spoke, “Don't worry, every thing is alright now.”I pulled away and asked, “What will happen to him? Is he still alive or...”“Do you really expect
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Suspicions About Her Betrayal.
LEONARDO I paced back and forth outside my office, adrenaline coursing through my veins as I awaited Keith's diagnosis about my wife. Every fiber of my being wanted to burst into the room and confront the politician, but I forced myself to remain outside the door.“He's all tied up now,” Dante informed me, arriving with my new Capo, Rocco. “Do you want to meet him now?”I shook my head. “No, I need to stay here for Alessandra. Just keep the bastard conscious enough for me to deal with him later.”Dante, sensing my turmoil, placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “She’s going to be okay, mio fratello.”My heart clenched at the memory of finding her so beaten and broken. She had looked so lovely this evening before we left the house, but now her body was bruised and battered. Her face, once unblemished, was now swollen and covered in cuts and bruises.I felt like I was losing my mind each minute that passed without Keith's appearance but just when I was about to burst, the doctor fina
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) The Monster She Just Discovered.
ALESSANDRA I felt like a complete fool staring at the face of my friend who pretended like he didn't know all through the dinner. Even worse, when I discovered that he could speak Russian as he conversed with my husband about secret matters. This situation only reminded me of the words that Bianca had been repeating since she met me. All men were liars and cheats. I couldn't help but make a face when I took the first bite of my meal. The pasta in my mouth felt rubbery and dry, something that even my younger sister would never cooked in a thousand years. “What's wrong, Alessandra?” Leonardo noticed my expression and turned his attention to me. “Do you not feel well?”“I think I need to use the restroom,” I rose from my seat, not casting a glance at either one of them. Leonardo immediately beckoned a nearby waiter and asked her to guide me so I left without looking back. After hiding in the restroom for a good thirty minutes, I decided it was time to come out before Leonardo came l
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) An Unexpected Meeting In A Gambling Den.
ALESSANDRA I still have no idea how I managed it, but somehow, I reappeared before my husband in just thirty minutes. Dressed in a stunning green dress with a fitted bodice and a sweetheart neckline, I made my way toward Leonardo. The A-line skirt cascaded to the floor, sweeping gracefully across the stairs as I approached him.“All set,” I announced, still smoothing the curls pinned at the back of my hair, awaiting my husband's judgement. “How do I look?”He glanced at me, his expression impassive. “Good. Let’s go,” Leonardo replied curtly, grabbing my hand and turning to walk away. His words left a dull ache in my chest, and I couldn’t shake the pang of disappointment as I watched him disappear out of the house.His quick change of attitude left me extremely baffled as we rose the car ride in silence. At first, I thought he was acting like this because of a bad business call, but my unease increased when he started giving me one-word responses. “Is everything okay?” I shot him a q
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Confessing The Truth To Her New Friend.
ALESSANDRAThe next few days passed like a soft breeze, dispelling the boredom and loneliness I had felt before. I spent most of my days working at the restaurant and my nights exchanging stories with my younger sister, Mia. Although she was still depressed with the news of Dante's incoming wedding, she seemed slightly better now that she had gotten a new internet friend. However, I had also acquired a new friend who always dropped by the restaurant to come and eat after work hours. Orlando was a very sweet man who constantly praised my cooking, sharing stories about his days campaigning for the position of the mayor of the city and he always left with an extra helping for his mother. One day, he asked, “I'm having dinner tonight with someone important, and I wanted to know if you'd like to be my escort for the evening.”I could tell he admired me, which was unfortunate since I already belonged to someone else. Noticing the faint blush on his cheeks, I couldn't help but tease him. “

ALESSANDRA The next day, I had just finished preparing my first dish of the day in the restaurant when my boss called me over from the exit. The unexpected summon made me slightly anxious, but I quickly wiped my wet hands on a nearby napkin and hurried over to her.“Is there something I can help you with, Madame?” I asked.The old woman paused, staring through the door at the crowd of customers enjoying their meals. After a moment, she turned back to me and said, “There's someone who wants to meet you, Alessandra. He claims to be a friend of yours.”“A friend?” I repeated, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. Leaning over her shoulder, I scanned the room for a familiar face, but saw no one I recognized.Mrs. Dubois gently pushed me back, shielding me with her body as she spoke, “If you don't know anyone over there, then just tell me. I will go and fetch some of Leonardo's men over and-”“Wait, Leonardo's men are also here?” My heart skipped a beat as I stared at her with wide eyes. I
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Alessandra's Dilemma.
ALESSANDRA My heart pounded loudly in my chest as I stood frozen before Rocco who was now standing before. I had no idea what to tell him and I was a hundred percent sure that he wouldn't believe a word I said. My mind remained black even when Bianca shot me a look, silently willing me to do something but I couldn't. “I should have known you were not to be trusted but now, I have proof,” Rocco's snarled, turning away from me. “Just wait and see what Leo would do when he finds out you are nothing but a traitor.”Guilt and anxiety flashed through my eyes as I tried to stop him. “Rocco, wait! It's not what you think-”“How boring,” Bianca commented dryly. She blocked his path and faced him. “If you want to tell him, then go ahead. But the truth was that I gave Alessandra a mission to find out if her hot chef colleague is single. She was supposed to ask him out for me, right, Alessandra?”I cleared my throat when I caught Bianca's look and replied, “Y-Yes, but I told you that Leonardo
UNDER LEO'S COMMAND (The De Castello Family #1) Dante is Getting Married?
ALESSANDRA That evening, I decided to pay Mia a visit. When I entered her room, I found her lying on the bed, her entire figure hidden beneath the sheets. Concern etched across my face, I dropped my bag to the floor and moved my tired body toward her. “What's wrong, Mia? Are you feeling unwell?”“D-Dante...” Mia sobbed, clutching the sheets tightly as I tried to pull them away from her.I stilled, my heart racing with anxiety and worry. “What happened to Dante? Is he dead?”“No,” she shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “He's getting married!”“What?”“Mamma just called me, and she said Valentina and Dante are getting married!” she informed me. I sank into the bed, trying to wrap my head around the idea that my former best friend was getting married to my brother-in-law. With both their personalities, I was sure they would never be compatible with each other but that was not my business anymore. “Well, maybe this is what is best for everyone,” I remarked. I knew Mia was n

ALESSANDRA After that night, Leonardo never returned to the house. He stopped calling and texting me, and I lacked the courage to reach out to him. He had every right to be angry, but I wished he would give me a chance to explain.A few days later, I started working at the restaurant Le Jardin Des Saveurs as a gourmet chef. My employer, Mrs. Dubois, was very pleased with my dishes and always took good care of me. According to her, it was Leonardo who helped her start a new life after being abandoned by her husband and children.“I had stage 3 cancer once,” she confided. “My husband, who was Capo working for Davide, didn’t want the world to know the truth, so he locked me up in a hospital for treatment. When I finally recovered, I returned home to find he had taken a new wife, a new mother for my children.”My heart ached as I saw tears well up in her eyes. I grabbed a couple of tissues from the desk and handed them to her. “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Dubois,” I said softly.She dismissed my
