ALESSANDRA
I had no idea how we ended up in his house after I said those words to him. All I knew was that my hands were all over him, touching and stroking his body like it was my right to explore every inch of his delectable body. I figured that if I was unable to avoid sleeping with him, I would have to do it on my terms. Leonardo was so hard and warm, his masculine scent enveloping me like a soft blanket. And the best part was that he let me do it. I pulled away every piece of clothing my hands touched on his body, and he watched me silently, lazy amusement dancing in his eyes. When my hands brushed his belt buckle, he quickly grabbed my wrists and said, “You are drunk, Lexi.” “No, I'm not,” my cheeks flushed in embarrassment when I noticed the slur in my words. I brushed my lips across his neck, causing his grip on my wrists to tighten. He made a low, rough noise of frustration at the back of his throat but still refused to budge one bit. His stiff figure made me more determined to crack his resolve, so I dug my hands under his black shirt, feeling him skin to skin. I placed small, light kisses on his neck, collarbone, and chest. After a while, he quickly gave up and carried me bridal style to the bedroom. I thought he was going to dump me on the bed but he simply set me on the floor, steadying me with his hands on my waist. My body stilled for a moment when I saw the roses arranged on the bed. “I wanted you to see this before we ruined the bed,” his deep voice rumbled from behind me. A small tremor shook my body when he placed a kiss on my bare shoulders, his fingers working on my wedding dress. “Are you ready, Alessandra?” My affirmation came out a bit more breathless than I wanted but I didn't care, “Yes.” Before I could speak another word, Leonardo wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. His embrace sent electric currents down my spine, causing me to arch my back against his chest. The flimsy straps of my bra gave way under his sharp tug, revealing my breasts to him. The cool air had turned them painfully stiff but Leonardo couldn't seem to take his eyes off them. A bolt of desire shot through my body when he pinched my nipples at the same time he bit my shoulder. “Leo!” I moaned loudly. One of his hands drifted down my torso, leaving trails of heat behind. His harsh breaths filled the room as he stroked the wetness between my legs. I ground my ass desperately against his cock, trying to get some friction. But Leo seemed content to settle himself between the crack of my ass, rubbing and teasing me without mercy. I let him turn me around but once I saw his face coming closer, I quickly shifted my face as his lips landed on my cheeks. His eyes darkened when he saw what I had done, his fingers digging roughly into my skin. “You don't want to kiss me?” He stared at me with a harsh tone. “Why?” The temperature in the room plummeted, and I could feel the weight of my rejection hanging heavily in the air. Despite my fear, I chose to remain silent, swallowing my fear as I watched the impact of my words take hold. “Fine,” He pushed me away from him, flinging me across the bed with a loud thud. I watched him discard the rest of his clothing, unable to take my eyes off him. “Your choice, Alessandra.” Leo flipped me on my stomach once he joined me on the bed. He settled his cock into my ass, holding my legs apart from behind. His soft caresses were a sharp contrast to the rough calluses on his hands as they skimmed across my skin. My wet heat clenched with need, aching for his cock to fill me up. A low whine erupted from me when he gathered my hair over my shoulder. “Leo...” “You don't get to beg me for anything, Alessandra,” he growled into my ear, “Nothing.” “I-” With a slow and decisive movement, he thrust his hips towards me. I felt my wet heat set on fire as he invaded me with his massive cock. One of his hands grabbed a bunch of my hair while the other hand settled on my dress which was bunched around my hips as he pulls out for a bit before burying his cock to the hilt. I released a shaky breath to endure the pain which was stained with raw pleasure. He filled me completely, leaving no place untouched. Suddenly, I felt a tug on my hair. Leo dropped a soft kiss on my spine, sending butterflies across my stomach. “You have no idea how much you drive me insane, Lexi...” After his words, Leo's hips bucked as he rammed his cock into me, picking up his pace. The bed rocked as he impaled me with short, brutal thrusts. My fingers grabbed the sheets tightly, taking in the delicious, burning sensation of his rough fucking. His grip over my dress weakened as he shifted it to my hair, wrapping it around his fist. I wince in a mix of pain and pleasure as he resumed his ruthless pace. He rode me like a stallion on a field, shoving his cock deeper and deeper until the sensation threatened to overwhelm me. A raw scream tore through my throat as waves of orgasm crashed into me. My lips parted into a silent scream as I closed my eyes, allowing the sensations to consume me until I was nothing but a blubbering mess. “Fuck!” He released a set of primal and animalistic grunts as he emptied all of his seed into me. The unbridled thrust of his hips made my walls tremble, forcing a gasp out of me as I felt myself lunge into another orgasm. After he was done, Leo pulled out of me and descended on the sheets with a loud thud. I took that as a sign to leave but my boneless body refused to adhere to my request. A few seconds later, a hand pulled me towards a warm, hard body. “Sleep,” Leo commanded me, tightening his embrace. His words drifted off in my mind as I closed my eyes, basking in his warmth.ALESSANDRA As I woke up the next morning, a flood of memories came rushing back to me. I felt a sense of embarrassment as I recalled my wild behavior from the previous night. I hesitated to open my eyes, feeling reluctant to face the consequences of my actions. Fortunately, Leonardo was not in the room, so I hurriedly made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. I suspected that he had left early to attend to some illegal business, so I took the opportunity to reflect on my actions from the previous night.Since I was the one who initiated the physical contact between us, I had no idea how to get out of the horrible situation I had gotten myself into. Although last night had been spectacular, I had no intention of repeating such a mistake because that would only mean that I had accepted my fate to stay in this world. As my stomach let out a low, rumbling growl, I realized it was time to find something to eat. I frowned when I realized how weak my legs felt, struggling to maintain a n
ALESSANDRA When I finally arrived in California, it was already 10 o'clock in the night. My heart raced in my chest as I stepped down from the cab I had taken from the airport, standing before a fancy, silver gate, its sleek design reflecting the dim streetlights above. The streets were hauntingly quiet, but I knew better than to believe that I was alone. Somewhere hidden in the shadows, my father’s security detail was likely watching, their presence cloaked in the inky darkness of the night. I approached the sleek video intercom, its surface cool to the touch as I pressed a button, a faint click breaking the stillness of the night. Moments later, a voice resonated through the device, crisp and slightly distorted, “Who is this?”“It’s me, Donato. Open the gate,” I replied, my voice steady and confident, masking the shiver that rippled through my body from the biting cold. The night felt heavy around me, wrapping me in a dark, chilling embrace. It was crucial to make the bodyguard b
LEONARDO “Leonardo, per favore, smettila di farlo!” Rocco pleaded, his voice a mixture of exasperation and urgency as he lunged toward me once more. This was the fourth time that night he had attempted to wrestle it from my grasp, but I stubbornly held on, unwilling to yield. The dim light of the room flickered, casting long shadows as our scuffle grew more intense. I growled, “Go away, Rocco. I don't want to see anyone right now.”After my heated argument with Alessandra, I stormed out of the apartment and went straight to my office. I craved a drink that would drown out the ache in my chest, but the pain still lingered no matter how many glasses I poured down my throat. Every time I sipped the expensive alcohol, her face would suddenly invade my mind. I was going crazy from the sound of her laughter in my ears and the memory of her smile that was etched on my mind like a fucking tattoo. Why did her feelings change towards me? What have I done to make her so.... disgusted with me
ALESSANDRAIt was afternoon when Father returned from his business trip the following day. I could hear the sound of his voice right in the hallway after he climbed the stairs talking to my mother. Although we had agreed that I would wait for him in his office, ready to discuss some private matters, my mother still tried to stall him, her laughter and lively chatter intentionally delaying his entrance.I couldn't blame her for it. The very thought of my Father's arrival had sent me an unsettling chill for the past hours but I didn't want to waste any more time here. I had to leave the house before Leonardo came looking for me. The door opened when I was preoccupied with my thoughts, but I was able to catch my Father's figure standing in the hallway. His expression changed the moment his eyes landed on me, his face contorting in anger. The door creaked open just as my mind was lost in a whirlwind of thoughts. I glanced up to find my father standing in the doorway, his figure framed
ALESSANDRA After my sister's words, I immediately rushed down the stairs along with my father to see Leonardo standing in the living room with a small army of men. The room was filled with quiet sobs as everyone watched him wielding a knife at my cousin's neck. “What the hell do you think you are doing? Put the knife down, Leonardo!” My father's furious voice cut through the suffocating silence in the room. I knew all hell was about to break loose when my eyes spotted some men moving across the room from the other end, silently trying to close the distance between them and their target. Leonardo's eyes did not stray from me even one bit but his men kept their vigilant eyes on their surroundings. The way his eyes locked onto mine, cold and unyielding, sent a jolt of fear through me. I could tell he was very furious about my sudden disappearance but there was something darker lurking in his eyes. Something raw and intense. “Since my wife decided to visit her family without telling
ALESSANDRA The next day, we flew back to New York City on the earliest flight we could get. Leonardo had not spoken a single word to me since he retrieved me from my father's house, and I was grateful for it. The smell of blood permeating from his black gloves made bile rise in my throat, but he insisted on interlinking our fingers together throughout the entire journey. When we finally reached the apartment, I immediately scurried to the kitchen without wasting another second. I washed my hands under the sink, trying to get rid of the blood stains imprinted on my skin but nothing could erase the memory in my head. My uncle was dead and now, his son was fighting for his life in California. Despite the fact that my uncle had never been good to me and my sister, he was still my family. Ilaro had taken care of me when I stayed in their house and the fact that I was responsible for his demise hurt a lot. As I sank deeper in my sorrow, I suddenly felt a pair of strong hands encircle m
ALESSANDRAA week passed by after my argument with Leonardo, each day stretching endlessly in the silence of his apartment. He hadn’t returned after that day, leaving me alone with Luigi, my bodyguard. Though I told myself to be grateful for the small victory I had won, the crushing boredom weighed heavily on me, gnawing at my insides and filling me with restlessness.After two more days, I decided that I couldn't continue like this. “Take me to Leonardo,” I demanded one night, my voice firm and unwavering as I addressed the six-foot figure, packed with muscles. With my arms crossed defiantly over my chest, I added, “He said I could go anywhere, as long as you accompany me.”Luigi studied me intently, his sharp gaze sweeping over my dress, and returning my glare with his own. The silence hung heavy between us, charged with unspoken tension. He replied firmly, “Leonardo doesn't want to see you.”I already knew that because I was there when he called, asking for permission but another
LEONARDO What have I done?As I stared into Alessandra's eyes, all I could see was the pain I had caused her. She tried to look strong and unfazed by the discovery of my affair with her best friend but I knew deep down, she might never forgive me for this. I shot up from my seat immediately to reach her, knowing that she could disappear like the wind but she was already out of the door. “Fuck,” I cursed under my breath. I grabbed my gun from the table and caught after her just before she exited the VIP area. “Alessandra, please let me explain,” I pleaded. She jerked away from me like I was carrying a freaking disease that was contagious. I had never heard her scream until now, “Don't you dare touch me, Leonardo! Not with those hands you used to caress your whore!”“I did it all for you,” I knew how pathetic my words sounded, but I didn't know what else to say except the truth. She still had no idea about my hardships and sacrifices so I tried to tell her, “When I returned to the
ALESSANDRAThe room was deathly silent between us, broken only by the sounds of our harsh breaths echoing in the air. My legs gave way, and I sank onto the bed, my voice trembling as I asked, “How long have you known the truth about Marcella's death?”“Since I turned fifteen,” he replied darkly. “I overheard my father scolding Bianca for sneaking out to a party. He reminded her about her ‘mistake’.” Leonardo scoffed bitterly.Seeing the pain in his eyes, my heart ached, and I reached for him. “I'm so sorry about your sister, Leo-”“How did you know what happened to Marcella?” he cut me off, his eyes narrowing. “Who told you?”I gulped nervously, scrambling for a lie. I couldn't risk revealing my connection with Bianca, which would jeopardize everything I'd worked for. My lips moved faster than my brain, blurting out, “I heard it when I was married to Giovanni. He mentioned it during an argument with his sister, calling her a heartless monster or something like that.”“I see.” Leonardo
ALESSANDRA It was late when we finally returned to the mansion. Apparently, all the chaos at the yatch had turned Leonardo into a sex monster, someone with a relentless and insatiable hunger. He barely let me catch my breath throughout the car ride, ravishing my body until I was nothing but a sweaty mess. My legs felt shaky when I tried to come down from the car, causing me to shoot him a dirty look for the way he had left me completely undone. My husband's lazy smirk remained unaffected as he offered his hand to help steady myself. I caught my breath, smoothing my dress and fixing my hair, when I heard a low chuckle rumble from his chest.“What's so funny?” I snapped, trying to maintain my pissed appearance, but it was helplessly falling like a house of cards when I saw him. He looked too damn good, his hair tousled and shirt unbuttoned, exposing his broad chest adorned with tattoos. Right now, I was starting to think that I was the one who was the sex monster, because all I wante
ALESSANDRAAs we entered the cabin, my eyes darted around, instinctively searching for an alternative exit in case the yacht was compromised, but there was none. The place was furnished simply yet elegantly, with a large oak table dominating the center and lights from the ceiling casting a warm glow.Leonardo took his seat first, his eyes following Ivan as he walked to the mini bar to fetch some drinks. Then, with a small tug, he grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap. I landed with a faint gasp, the slit of my dress widening to reveal my long legs.“What do you want to drink?” my husband asked, smoothing my dress as he rearranged my legs across his own. His soft caresses sent a jolt of electricity through my body, so I slapped his hand away, giving him a stern look."I'm not thirsty, thank you," I replied, keeping my back straight as an arrow. My nerves were jittery in the heavy silence that filled the room.After a few minutes, Ivan reappeared, carrying a tray with glasses and a
ALESSANDRA In the end, I chose a classic black gown that fell to my knees and wore flats for more mobility. I styled my hair into a tight low ponytail, adorned with hairpins on the side. Leonardo wanted to show off my beauty to his associates, but I had to prioritize my safety since I wasn't sure where we were going."Are you done, babe?" My husband's voice echoed from across the room, making me pause as I put on my earrings."Yes, I am," I replied.Leonardo emerged from the walk-in closet, adjusting his black tie. He looked incredibly handsome and powerful, dressed in an expensive black suit with his hair slicked back.Our eyes met in the mirror, silently examining each other's outfits. My breath hitched slightly when his lips curved into a smile. He said, "You look beautiful, Lexi."Despite hearing this throughout the afternoon when he was worshipping my body, my red-painted lips still curved into a smile. "You don't look too bad yourself, Leo. Now, I can't help but worry if this i
ALESSANDRA The room was thick with tension as Leonardo interrogated me, his eyes searching mine. I was so caught off guard that tears streamed down my cheeks, momentarily clearing my vision as I struggled to find the words. But Leonardo's stern demeanor cracked when he saw my tears, and he immediately closed the distance between us."What's wrong?" he asked, holding me tightly as sobs wracked my body. He shot a helpless look at Dante and Rocco before turning back to me. "Tell me why you're crying, mio amore. Did Bianca bully you?"I shook my head slowly, unable to speak as grief choked my throat. Leonardo couldn't know that I was aware Ilaro was dead, so I simply kept quiet and cried my heart out.Eventually, my sobs subsided, but Leonardo continued to stroke my hair gently. I realized that Dante and Rocco had left, probably to find out why I was crying so much.Once he sensed the tension leaving my body, he gently forced me to face him, but I kept my eyes glued to the floor. I could
ALESSANDRA As I racked my brain about how to find an opportunity to confront Bianca, a sudden knock on the door grabbed my attention. I went to the door and opened it, thinking it was Mia who had come to see me but I was wrong. “You better have a very good reason for calling me here,” Bianca walked past her. “I have to return downstairs before Massimo starts looking for me so you have any new information about the secret Russian trade?” she asked. My blood boiled by her presence, but I forced myself to reply calmly, “I have something even better.” I grabbed a glass of water from the nearby table and threw it at her, drenching her completely.“What the hell, Alessandra?!” Bianca gasped, eyes wide with disbelief and shock. She retreated, her dress soaked. “This dress is very no expensive. Why did you do that?!”“That's what you get for lying to me!” I snapped. Her face switched from genuine confusion to realization and surprise. I planted my hands on my hips and I asked her, “Did y
ALESSANDRA Today was finally my first day of work. Last night, I kept trying on different outfits, each one carefully chosen for the day ahead. Leonardo had assured me that the job interview was just a formality, but I still wanted to impress the restaurant owner and show I was more than capable of handling the position.Although I was very happy to finally leave the house during the day, my spirits were a little dampened because of my fight with Mia. I finally remembered that I didn't tell her about my new job. She would have been so happy to hear I was going to be working if she wasn't so mad with me about Dante. I just hoped Leonardo was able to convince Dante to leave her alone. For both our sakes. The thought of Leonardo also reminded me that I had also gotten into a fight with him. I tried my best to tell him about the secret affair his brother was having with my sister but he seemed too busy with his mistress than listen to me. Deep down, I wondered why I was so possessiv
LEONARDO This motherfucker was really trying to piss me off. As I turned off the auto-mode and took control of the steering wheel, I cast a look at the black car through the rearview mirror. The car was no longer alone but it had three more cars accompanying it. My blood boiled in my veins as I gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white.Whoever these people were, they must have followed me from my office which meant that my headquarters' location had been exposed. The first black car rammed into me again, causing my car to skid against the asphalt but I quickly regained control this time. My senses became more sharper and attuned to the situation as I avoided being flanked by all three cars. The last car hit me harder this time, but I quickly countered the skid to avoid the close call. I slammed on the brakes, letting the SUV shoot past me, then floored the accelerator, ramming its rear bumper with all the force I could muster. The SUV swerved, momentarily losing control.Taking
LEONARDO “Fuck!”I slammed the phone on the table and threw a glare at the woman standing by my side. Marcella flinched away from my angry eyes, her body rigid with tension. She asked me, her voice quavering slightly, “What's wrong, Leo? Did I do something wrong?”I opened my mouth to speak, but the harsh words in my mouth clung stubbornly to my throat. Marcella was one sly bitch who loved to use others to do her dirty work but I just couldn't reprimand her harshly like I wished. Not with that name. Not with that face. “Look, if it’s about Alessandra…” She raised her hands defensively, “I didn’t fight with her. I only told her you were busy because you looked so frustrated when you couldn’t track down Orlando’s cousin…”As she continued to defend herself, I sifted through my thoughts, trying to understand why my wife was so upset. Dante’s affair seemed to be a major issue, but it felt like there was she was also angry with me for some unknown reason. My eyes wandered to my wristwa
