[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Would you care to explain?"I arched my brows at a battered Chase.He looked down at his hands which were resting on his stomach."It was my fault.Liam reached her under my watch,she could have died, Alessandro and there's no one else to be blamed."He sounded ashamed."If I've blamed you,trust me my dear friend your body would be laying cold six feet under the ground.You are nothing but a coward whore."I spatted coldly.He had abandoned me when I needed him the most."I am sorry Aless. "He muttered in a faint voice."Your coward ass should ask for Aitana's apology.That woman is sick worried for you."I shook my head in frustration."How's she now?"He asked me after a minute's silence."She's doing a fast recovery and in two days or three,they'll discharge her."I answered sitting on the small couch in his ward,"She's pregnant."I added intentionally,call me a total dick but I wanted him to feel bad for being reckless."She's is pregnant?"His eyes widened in shock
[ Aitana ]A weight lifted from my chest when Alessandro told me that Chase was fine but my heart felt a strange pain thinking of his miserable condition. He intentionally threw himself in the mouth of death. I had no one to call mine by blood but with him,I saw a faint hope to build a relationship,a sibling I always craved since mu brothers died.I wanted to see him but the main problem was my over protective husband. He barely let me step down from the bed except the times I had to use the bathroom otherwise he threatened the nurses to tie me on the bed and it started taking a toll over me."Ana, what is going inside this pretty little head of yours."Alessandro's raspy voice brought me back on the earth.I moved my eyes on him,who had an amused smile on his face but suddenly I remembered his betrayal during our make out,he left me unfinished.I glared at him murderously and looked away to show him a cold shoulder."Still mad over an orgasm, cara mia?"I couldn't miss the tease in his
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Finally the sweet home."Aitana squealed stretching her arms to feel the air inside the living room of our house.She's right,it felt like home again as her steps entered in the non living and gloomy atmosphere of this house."Easy mio regina you're only given discharge from the hospital but they didn't say that you can go all ninza and hurt yourself."I wrapped my arms around her waist and easily pulled her on my chest."I can't just...it feels so good to be back here."She rested her head where my heart beat for her."I have shifted our bedroom downstairs temporarily,the left room beside the guestrooms."I told her and kissed her temple.She slightly tilted her head to give me a suspicious glance,"And the timeline of your temporay is?"She raised her brows."Until our baby turns one of two months old."I grinned down at her knowing how merrily she would take it."Oh my dear husband,it's so sweet of you but you know what else we should to until our baby turns three
[ Aitana ]I woke up in the arms of the most handsome man on the earth,the Italian mafia prince aka my husband Alessandro De Niro after an exhausting night. We made love to each other for the first time as it was very close to what two people in love with each other feels.It wasn't just a fuck from his side,the way he handled me like I was a fragile piece of art to be preserved with care.His eyes slowly opened and locked with mine,it was my turn to get embarrassed as he caught me staring at him.His hand which was working as his pillow beneath his head came to rest on my face."Good morning Mrs. De Niro."His groggy morning voice felt like electrifying waves to my ears."Morning Mr. Grayson..."I went on a mission to tease him and it seemed to trigger his typical stereotype narrative."Mr. Grayson?"He plopped his head on his palm as his elbow dug in the pillow."I can be Mrs. De Niro so why can't you share my last name?"I argued and watched his ears turning red."Oh hell no! Aitana Gray
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Are you sure that Robert is back in the city and he will be meeting Tony for a drug deal?"I asked Drake who came up with a new and very positive information after ages of sniffing behind Robert Grayson."My sources told me so,"He spread a few photographs in front of me."These pictures are taken by my man at his secret base on the cliff.You can see Robert climbing out of helicopter. I don't where they left afterwards.The area was surrounded by his men who were heavily armed."I sipped my whiskey and stared at pictures, there was no doubt that Robert Grayson was back in the city."The deal is worth 10 million dollars.Robert needs money to execute a big plan.He'd definitely agree to meet Tony."Adam explained."Which means we must reach Tony before him and offer him a bigger price to ditch Robert."I concluded for them."That's our basic plan but if you have any specific plans in your mind then care to share with us."Chase,who was now in a much better condition s
[ Aitana ]I struggled for a moment to open my eyes only to shut them again as the bright light coming from the window and LED lights on the white ceiling were too much for them to adapt themselves. I tried to move my heavy body but winced as I felt a sharp sting on my right hand.An iv was inserted in my skin."Ana, baby you're awake."Alessandro's soft voice instantly relaxed me.After a few moments, I slowly opened my eyes only to see his concern laced face."Aless..."I weakly called out his name as my throat was dry.I found myself still on the hospital bed.I should start calling it my second home now."What happened to me or the baby?"I asked as I really don't remember anything when I passed out."Your blood pressure was a bit high when you fainted but you're fine now.You literally scared the shit out of me."He stroked my cheeks with a faint smile on his face which didn't reach to his eyes."Mr. and Mrs. De Niro if you feel okay then we can start the scan otherwise we'll schedule it
[ ALESSANDRO DE NIRO ]My heart was pounding on the speed of a jet plane as I waited for Dr. Martin to break the news I had been dreading to hear and hoped everything came out to be fine with my baby."Dr. Martin please say something, your silence is like a slow poison for me."I shred off my cold demeanor in front of the woman in whose hands, my wife and baby's life were either safe or jeopardized.She put off her glasses and glanced at me, her disappointed face confirmed half of my fear yet a slight flame of hope was burning in my heart."We have to terminate the pregnancy."She spoke in her baritone.That's it!I lost it,warm tears filled my eyes. I didn't care who saw my vulnerable side.I wasn't a mafia man anymore but a father who might loose his child,his first child. "Is it the only option or?"My question came out like a low whisper."I am sorry, Mr. Alessandro but if we don't remove the fetus eventually it will miscarry and your wife's life may also be in danger.It's better if
[ Aitana ]Alessandro had been acting very weird around me since we came to the hospital for the scan.I could see a strange sadness on his mother and Adam's face as they came to ask me about my health.Something wasn't right.I had a strong intuition but I couldn't figure out what it was exactly. I just hope my baby was fine.A smile automatically stretched on my lips as I thought about our baby and how it resembled a tiny dot on the screen.Alessandro's expressions were priceless.I had never seen him this happy and lively.I was busy in my thoughts when the doors creaked open and Aless walked inside.His eyes were red and swollen.Was he crying?A fear creeped it's way inside my heart.My gut feelings weren't wrong.Although, he tried to pass me a smile but it didn't reach to his eyes."Alessandro, what's wrong with you?"I asked firmly. The people around me gave me weird vibes and it was frustrating me to no extent.He sat beside me on the stool and got hold of my hands,"Ana, baby I have t
[ Aitana ]The warm sunrays falling over my face forced me to open my eyes but I closed them instantly as they hit their sensitivity after a couple of hours' sleep.After a few moments, I tried to open them again and glanced over the digital watch on the nightstand. It showed 7:15 A.M. It was a Sunday means I'd be spending the day with my family."Go back to sleep, mio regina. You haven't slept properly in last few days." My husband's sexy morning voice made me realise that I was caged in his arms while our naked bodies pasted together.I recalled the fierce sex we had for the most of the night after being away from each other for two crazy weeks. It was a pure hellish torture for Alessandro as we were worse than animals when it comes to sex even after eight years of our marriage."I wish I can but will your little demons let me sleep peacefully?" I turned to face him, whose enchanting dark blue eyes met mine."Hmm..they're our little demons but they can't be blamed when their parents
[ Alessandro De Niro ]He stepped closer," Hand me over the key and I'll declare you my only heir after I die which isn't going to happen anytime soon but you'd have a great future.A dry chuckle left my throat."You will declare me as your heir?" I laughed that echoed in the dark celler."Yes, I will. You have my word, Alessandro." Irritation was visible on his face."What am I looking to you? A fool or a believer in good deeds thats pays in blessings, Liam Grayson?" My hand reached for a wine bottle from the nearest shelf."You're a smart man who doesn't think from your dick like most of the Italian mafias." He tried to flatter me but I found no reason to consider his offer."Preserved since 1995, nice huh. I wonder how it will react on my taste buds." I opened the cork of the bottle and gulped a good amount from it."Put it back on the shelf, Alessandro. I didn't invite you here to enjoy free wine." Liam lost his temper as per my plan."I am not stopping you from sharing whatever y
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Fuck!"I slammed the broken chair on the concrete ground with so much force that it cracked into pieces. I was boiling in anger and a shameful feeling of helplessness. The bastard again fooled us. He wanted to continue this cat and mouse chase like he was enjoying my state.My face was covered with sweat even in the freezing temperature. It was the place where we got the signal from Drake's GPS, he had it hidden in his ear stud. All we found were the evidence of someome being held captive here. It had been four hours since I last communicated with Drake, we searched the nearby closed places but we were no closer to finding them and now, it simmered my brewing anger."Aless, we should take a break and sketch a new plan rather than wandering aimlessly in the streets. May be, we'd find another lead." Chase offered, it was past nine and they were already on the brink of giving up."You can go back and rest." I gripped the butt of my gun with such pressure that my f
[ Alessandro De Niro ]The tension brewing in the air and ticking of clock was a constant reminder of my failure as a mafia man. Liam proved my incompetence and this time he made me realise how immature I was since the beginning, I had taken orders from my uncle and then Stefano, I hardly did something on my own."Aless, we traced the location by tracking Drake's GPS." Chase informed me.I gripped the railing of balcony. My mood was depicting the dark sky. Liam managed to abduct my best soldier while I went for a wild goose chase. He beat me at every instance."Where is the location?" I asked him without faltering my gaze from the sky, for some reason, I found a little comfort by staring at the vast blankness."Where a rat like Liam can hide?""A shabby place, a closed fight club or an abandoned work shop if I am right at assuming." I craned my neck in his direction."Bingo! You got it right. The bastard has taken shelter in a closed bicycle workshop three miles from here but we have
[ ALESSANDRO DE NIRO ]"I don't know what are you talking about, Aless." The woman pretended to sound confused but she failed at it miserably."Oh please, Aunt, drop this act and tell us where is the Golden Box or Anita has her own ways of gutting the truth out of you." Chase said."I am not your Aunt, young man." She shot him a murderous glare. She hated being addressed as Aunt or any tag that reflected her aging."Mrs. Laura, please hand us over the box or I am well capable of breaking your bones and no one would find out what exactly happens in this room." Anita rolled up her sleeves.I could notice my aunt's forehead covered with sweat. She was scared but she was trying to hide it."Aunt, we're not here for any kind of violence. Anita won't lay a finger on you unless she receives my green signal. So, please give us the golden box and we'd set you free with no scratch on your skin." I used indirect threat to crack the stubborn lady."Are you threatening me, Alessandro?" She arched
[ Alessandro De Niro ] "What is brewing between you and Alyssa?" I threw a teasing glance at Chase who had been smiling like a teenager since we bade our goodbyes to the girls at the De Niro air strip from where Marcus picked them to drop them off safely at my parents' house. It was quite hard for me to convince my lady tigress to tame her wild side until she deliver our baby. "Are you talking to me?" Chase, who was in his own world, asked me with red cheeks like I had caught him in the act. "As far as I remember, I and Drake are already engaged and married, so it leaves only you in the bachelor bucket. Tell us, Chase, what's going on with you and your damsel in distress?" I arched my brows at him for a good explanation. "It's nothing that's your dirty little brain is processing, Aless. She's a nice girl and your wife has given me her responsibility. I am only following her orders. Alyssa hardly comes in front of me. In fact, she rarely leaves the confinement of her room." He said.
[ AITANA ] "What do you mean, you tracked down the lady who claims to have the golden box?" I asked Alessandro or I say no particular men present in the living room. "We found her, Ana." Alessandro's voice was calmer than last few hours like a storm has passed and breezes stilled. "You mean you found the woman who has the Golden Box?" I asked him again not able to believe it at first. "Yes, Aitana. Somehow we succeeded in tracing the number from which Liam received a call in the night that Alyssa mentioned. She's currently staying in Rome. Guess what? Alyssa was right about her ethnicity. "Chase said. Excitement was dripping from his tone. The hunt for the mysterious woman and Liam Grayson was no less than finding need in a heap of hay. "And how did you get access to Liam's person cell phone?" I narrowed my eyes in curiosity. As far as I remember, he never let anyone touch his cell phone. "We found it near the shore, it might fall accidentally from pocket during the attack." Dr
[ Aitana ]Hours rolled on, I was as bore as I could be in the balcony of Chase, looking down at the busy street. It was refreshing to feel the late evening breeze while watching the sun set. The ocean's view from afar was a more pleasant experience. It was deadbeat silent in my small space but the inside was on turmoil.Alessandro was making several phone calls in the living room. His pacing became furious sometimes while he cursed in Italian. Chase and Drake's condition was no different than Alessandro. They had been trying to track down my father in the Peru, he was spotted there, probably dealing with local drug dealers. It was his mega plan to escape step by step to distract us but he was one of my least problems.His men were out in the search of Liam's network in the city who were still active and keeping a close eye on us.I groaned in frustration. I had been doing nothing but browsing through my social media accounts and watching online videos on pregnancy. They kept me out
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"You look feasible, husband." Aitana roamed her hands sensually over my tailored suit and reached for my tie knot. Her hazy eyes were proof of the lust which was pooling in them."Don't start this game right now, Ana. I beg you or else, we won't be leaving this house for the next few days." I warned her as her delibarate moves were testing my patience. It had been over one and a half month since we last had sex and now it was taking a toll over me."I am not interested to leave either, Alessandro." She traced my jawline with her sleek long finger. I closed my eyes and tightened my grip around her waist to control myself from ripping her clothes and fuck her on the wall."Please, Ana...we need to go as for now." I begged her again."I know you want it too, Aless and I need you right in this moment. I miss your touches, I miss to feel you inside me. It's fucking two months, Alessandro." Desperation dripped from her words while she grinded her core on my already ha
