2024-10-29 19:42:56Benjamin was standing right at the door and greater me with a warm smile as he saw me. I reciprocated the action and was about to say something when he moved aside and I saw Alantino Russo sitting on of the chairs in our conference table. He was sitting so casually as if he was the owner of this property. The fuck was he doing here? My blood boiled seeing him and there was no way, I was going to spare him for this audacity. I walked right past Benjamin, I didn't care about him anymore.
"How dare you enter my property?! Get out!"
I commanded but he didn't budge. Just smirked.
"What's the matter Valerie? Calm down. It's me who invited him here."
Benjamin stated to my shock. Was he crazy to invite Alantino here? He already knew about our messed relationship. Yet he acted as if he didn't know anything.
"What? Why have you called him here?"
Was my obvious question, I looked at Alantino as I asked Benjamin.
"I think

Mrs Russo helped me reach my home and I was feeling much better in the silence. She put her hand on my head and smoothened my hairs. Then gently sat beside me on the bed."Are you okay Valerie?"She asked gently with a motherly love, that I almost felt like hugging her and crying all my problems out. The void was so filled with depression. I was tired of all this, I didn't want to fight anymore but I couldn't even step back now. How many things would I have deal to survive in this world? I wanted to live not just survive."Not really."I answered in a hushed tone. I wasn't sure what to say, to tell her his son was the ultimate reason of all my suffering? Or should I tell her that her husband was the worst man I've ever seen? I couldn't, she was being nice to me and I couldn't take that for granted. I know she could only help me till she saw no threat in me but if I started making her familiar with my real ideologies maybe she too would treat m

"You should be sleeping now, you already had alcohol and I remember you refused to have champagne in your wedding, saying, you don't consume any alcoholic thing. When did you start drinking alcohol?"She asked in a solemn tone. She was worried at my situation, I wondered how pathetic I must have looked for her to be this concerned for my alcohol consumption."I still don't usually drink alcohol, this was the second time I did."I told her and a realisation struck her as her expression changed and gave me an encouraging smile."You've been through a lot Valerie but you must choose your ways wisely. Alcohol will only make ugh distracted from your goals and attracted to it."She explained to me as she helped me wipe my makeup off and undo my hairs."Mrs Russo... ""Mom*"She corrected me."Yes, mom, do you support my goals?"I asked her a question, I wasn't sure if I should've or not. My ultim

"What are you doing Alantino? He's the son of one of our underbosses."Mr Russo reminded him but his expressions remained same. Deadly."He dared to touch Valerie."He said in a voice that would make anyone tremble out of fear and many of the people gathered around dance floor were already frightened. No-one would want to get their name associated with what that guy had been doing with me. And I could see many of them had already made a distance from me."That doesn't mean you'll beat him to death."Said Mr Russo as he gave a disgusted look towards the man lying on the floor drenched in blood. Then another disgusted look at my way."What did he exactly do?"He asked me and was he fucking kidding me, by asking me in what way did the man harass me, in front of everyone?"What did he do Valerie?"He asked again before I could think of an appropriate reply to his nonsense question."She doesn't needs to answ
Unlove me, I dare you! Fake
All the affection he simulated, the fake warmth in his eyes, the mask he carried around me and the counterfeit act of tenderness everything was just for show, this wasn't the man I liked. But the thing for which I should be concerned was, why did he faked everything and why was he doing, whatever he was doing with me, now.We reached the door of the bar and a bouncer standing at front of bowed his head in front of Alantino and then smirked when he saw. Was this one of his bars? Or worse was this some kind of fucking place for his men?Alantino opened the door and shoved me forward that I hit my head on the corner and that's when I realised it wasn't some ordinary bar. The lighting was all pink and red in neon and the small area was filled smell of beer and so many floral scents. There were so many small cells inside it and few girls were serving liquor, naked. And the men were touching them wherever they wished to. My throat dried at the sight and I could n
Unlove me, I dare you! Deceived
My eyes opened and everything was spinning around me, with my pounding headache. It took me little while to discover a master bedroom with huge dimension and most luxuriously furniture and was decorated with some highly expensive painting and no photographs. I was laid on a king sized bed and a plain white, oversized T-shirt and an oversized pair of shorts.I assume they were of a man. Where was I? Was I in the Russo mansion? I managed to recall what car hit me but I couldn't remember anything else except it's color. Black. What if I am back in the trap of Alantino. I couldn't stay here, I had to escape fast. I didn't even knew what time it was. It was so strange that the room was completely furnished except for clock, photographs and an empty walk-in closet, I got a peek of it as the door was slightly open and it was all vacant.I got up from the bed and opened the door without making any noise, the corridor was completely dark except the lights coming from outside as t

My eyes opened and I found Enzo sitting on the corner of bed, still not dressed."What the hell!"I screamed, seeing his figure suddenly."What... It's my house."He stated and yes it was his property but it didn't mean, he would go anywhere,anytime he wished to. Especially when there was a girl in the room, he couldn't invade in like that."Don't you know some basic manners. Can you just knock before you come in?"I asked, it was more of a suggestion from my side."I am not used to knocking, I have always lived alone."He admitted and I couldn't comment anything on that."Why are you here?"I asked."I have a habit of going to work early. I have businesses to handle and as you are part of it now, don't you wanna get your responsibilities given to you?"He asked and I wasn't sure what kind of responsibilities was he talking about."What job are you gonna assign to me?"
Unlove me, I dare you! Kidding?
Enzo stopped the car in front of a tall, enticing, forty stories hotel. The aura of building gave me chills as the thought of managing such a big empire for exciting itself. The structure of the Rexivo was beyond belief with perfect balance of aesthetics. Enzo glared at me while I wasn't recovered from the view of the estate. It's simply great! He looked at me, fascinated and said,"Ready to work?""undoubtedly yes."I exclaimed and we went inside the opulent building. The aroma of the building was filled with leathery smell, mixed with musky and fruity smells. The combination was phenomenal. The reception lady smiled and bowed her head slightly when she saw Enzo and I wondered what it must have felt like when there were so many people, paying respect to you. After crossing the reception area we reached the waiting hall and oh my goodness! It was huge, no giant. It was furnished with fine leather couches and chairs and air conditioner made the incident per
Unlove me, I dare you! Good weather
It was sunny but all windy weather in the terrace and a good amount of people were having lunch there but it still barely filled only the half of the tables . Maybe, people mostly preferred having food in their suites."Come let's go there."Enzo pointed at a table which was decorated beautifully like it was arranged for a date."Isn't it reserved?"I asked him because maybe it was for some couple, why would they decorate it heavily, everyday."The reservation was cancelled."He said looking at his tab and then he pushed it toward me to take a look. There were rows and columns in the screen telling the table numbers and those who reserved or cancelled it."Hmm ...Quite a managerial work."I admitted.He smiled and we went towards the table and sat down, the smell of hyacinth and roses was exquisite and one can sit there until they fade. It wouldn't take long though. A woman approached us as soon as we settled on the table,

Unlove me, I dare you! Good team
Enzo and Duke performed as a good team and it didn't take them much time, finishing off half of Alantino's men. Even I hadn't expected that, I thought the night was gonna be end of us, it wasn't like, I didn't trust Enzo's strength but one could never underestimate Alantino too."Do you think, we can help them in anyway?"Chloe asked me."You think?"I said, gazing at the direction of those tall and muscular men. We wouldn't stand even a second."But we have to do something, we can't let them fight. They are so many and Enzo and Duke are gonna get tired up soon. We can't wait for that moment."Chloe stated as a matter of fact. She was right we couldn't just stand there and wait for men to complete their fighting. I was thinking of calling in the hotel to ask them to send more men when a car reached the spot and all of us were confused because, no-one took their ass in the direction where Russo and Amato were. Not in the sit
Unlove me, I dare you! Work
We exercised for two long hours and it was 9:00 am now, leaving me an hour to get ready for work. I took a long hot shower bath, the exercising session was too exhausting for me. I took my time getting ready and when I was done, I checked my reflection for one last time in the mirror. It was a habit. Being punctual, exactly at ten, Enzo knocked the door and I opened it. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded. "You only come to Rexivo to drop me and then you leave. You don't have to do that." I said as Enzo only go there to drop me and he only left once was took me to my office. He wasn't my driver, I couldn't expect that from him. "Don't worry about that. I do things that I am supposed to do and it's okay." He said not letting his emotionless mask off. I couldn't comment on that, it was Enzo and he wouldn't let me win. I walked out of the room and he followed me after closing the door. "I'll be leaving hotel soo
Unlove me, I dare you! Surprise
Enzo took a seat beside me and across Duke. Chloe and I watched him in utter shock, as he didn't even cared to explain his sudden appearance and even Duke was calm on his seat. After settling down, he looked at my bewildered face and smiled."Would you bother to explain your sudden appearance?"I questioned."I called Duke to check on everything, he told me you were planning to dine here, so I came to join you."Enzo answered."What about Genoa? You didn't you go there today?"I asked."No, Valerie I don't go there everyday. I have businesses to attend in Milan too."He said simply and that's when I realised he must also have his illegal businesses going on in here. The waitress served us food and I was happy that Enzo joined us for dinner but I was cursing Duke in my mind for telling everything to Enzo. Of course, Enzo cared for me for his own reasons but I was capable of looking after myself. We ate our food quiet
Unlove me, I dare you! Great news
"That's a great news, Chloe."I said and there was a big grin on her mouth."I should call Enzo, first."I said and Cloe handed me the cordless phone, she was holding. But I kept it back on it's place because I wanted to call him from my personal number and for some reason it fascinated me to talk to him on phone, with my personal number. Crazy, wasn't I? I took out my phone from my handbag and was about to call him when the door flew open and Enzo's tall, muscular, beautiful body walked in. There was this formal look on his face which made him look all the more gorgeous. I pushed the thoughts aside. He was only my boss, in a way as he was letting me handle his hotel, nothing else... Right?He looked at me and said,"Congratulations on your first big achievement."He said and smiled. This time the smile reached his eyes that meant he was genuinely happy."Well, our achievement."I corrected him and he chuckled.
Unlove me, I dare you! New office
"I loved it."I admitted to Enzo and he was still standing at the door, observing my expressions."I'm glad you liked it, but I'll take my leave here. Your assistant Chloe Winthrop will help you in everything. Also I'll be returning late today, so I have asked one of my best soldiers to not leave your side until I am back. He is standing outside."He told me and I peeked out to find a tall, muscular man, dressed in formals with a straight body posture, standing beside the door. He was as tall as Enzo, but I still didn't believe anyone or rely on anyone as much as I did on Enzo. But it was good to know that he cared for me and assigned me a personal bodyguards to my service. If he wanted he wouldn't have bothered about my life. He wanted to play games with his enemies and anyone could have done the help for him if not me. But it felt so good to know that he actually cared for me."Have a safe trip. I'll do fine here."I assured him and h
Unlove me, I dare you! Shock!
I panicked under Enzo's hand and he looked at me, I was petrified and nervous. Enzo followed my gaze and his grip on my shoulder tighten. Alantino made his way towards us with an unreadable face. I thought it wouldn't take me much efforts to face him, I thought I have mustered that much courage but somewhere I was wrong and for a second I thought of running away from there. But there was no turning back now, I had to face him, of I had to survive here and most importantly, to seek my revenge. I would only survive in peace, once I'd made sure that none of my adversaries, rest in peace."I suppose you have your hand on my property."Alantino said with a cold smirk to Enzo and then looked at me and the small hairs on my neck rose."Well, she is no one's property."Enzo said, pulling me towards him and exerting the more pressure in the word:property."You can't stay that close to her, she is my wife."Alantino stated as he tried to g
Unlove me, I dare you! Dreadful
I took a sigh of relief as the delivery guy handed me my order.I closed door and leaned against it, I wasn't sure what had made me this scared for opening the door but the relief I felt was equivalent as someone as removed a tons of weight from my back. I took the pizza and after pouring myself a glass of juice, I sat on the couch and ate it while watching TV. They were showing the Harry Potter series, the Voldemort was troubling the little boy. But Harry was able to muster the power to win upon the evil. I ate my pizza, watching the same movie, I had watched a tons of time. It was still fun to watch it. I ate my last slice of pizza and was already full to have the desert I ordered for myself. I was feeling dizzy but did not wanted to go to my room I decided on watching the TV until I could and eventually felt asleep in the couch, was too languid to switch off the TV.I don't know what time it was when I felt something moving and my body felt a lot more lighter. T
Unlove me, I dare you! On work
"Okay. I understood and I will contact Williams personally tomorrow."I said."Yeah but I would prefer you contact his right hand first and don't directly ask them to stay at our hotel. That will sound creep."He said as if I didn't knew that."Okay."I nodded."Don't you think you should be good at physical training as well. I will surely provide you a body guard but you should learn self defence too. As you would be the first mafia woman to run mob business."Enzo suggested and he was right. Once the legal proceedings were done I would have many adversaries who would try to get their hands on me. I wouldn't be some general girl, they would think of me as an equivalent enemy as Enzo."When can we start my self defence training?"I asked."Tomorrow morning but for now, the lawyer is coming to get our signatures on the lease, she had already taken from the other partners. Tomorrow the
