ALESSIA'S POVA sob escaped my lungs as I dragged my feet down the silent road of Tuscany, Italy.The cold air hit my skin, causing a shiver to grip my body but I didn't stop walking.Walking with an empty head with no destination in mind was a disaster, but who cares?All I wanted was to get away from this fucked up world, my fiancé and my supposed best friend.Being a doctor, I had thought my life was the most perfect on Earth, maybe because I had peace of mind and everything I needed in my life.But guess what?I was totally wrong.Life was just being easy on me because I had no idea what was coming.Many nurses and junior doctors at the hospital I worked, called me a role model, but at the moment, my life was nothing close to perfection.It was messed up and I don't think I can trust anyone again.This world was fucked up.Trying hard not to reminisce about the scene I met earlier at my supposed best friend's place, but hell, it wasn't easy to forget such a traumatising scene.Not
ALESSIA'S POV Being a bitch that I was, my core clenched as tingles spread over my body.His dirty words made me wet down there and I couldn't do a thing, other than to cuss inwardly.Taking in a slow breath, I mustered my courage to confront him.If I was going to die, so be it. But as for those dirty words or rather command of his, he should probably shove them into his ass, because I won't be doing that.“ I should suck you because I invaded your privacy by mistake? Hell, I didn't want to be here in the first place.” I said, avoiding his gaze as I spoke.“ Said that to my face.” he towered over me and it felt as if the walls of the VIP room were closing up on me.I didn't dare say that to his face.I had no idea who this stranger was, but I was sure I wouldn't get out alive if I didn't do as he said.But fuck him, it will probably be a cold day in hell, if I ever bend to his command just because he is dangerous.I'm from the Rossi family, and my mom always told me not to bend to
ALESSIA'S POVONE WEEK LATER.After that night at the club, I couldn't get the devil out of my fucked up head.Though I was disgusted by the thought of it, but, I couldn't stop myself from reminiscing that night, over and over again.I didn't have the guts to tell anyone about my ordeal with the devil himself, as I kept it to myself, and would probably do so until my last breath.No one would believe me, not even in a million years, as it sounds ridiculous for a stranger to force me to suck his cock.If only they knew.If only they were in my shoes and lastly, If only they saw him face to face. I was sure some might wet their panties due to how intimidating he looks and sounds.Every single thing about him screamed danger and intimidation.I knew better than to prove stubborn when I had little to no strength, compared to his.“ So, when are you giving me the invitation card?” A soft feminine voice jotted me out of my trance, and I flinched a little.“ Huh?”“ Earth to Alessia.” The l
CASSIUS'S POV“ Any information about her?” I asked, looking keenly at my right hand man in front of me, whose head was hung low.“ Yes, Boss. I have all the information about her.”He stretched his hand which was holding a file and I took it from him.“ You can go.” I ordered and he walked away.I opened the file and went through the document, causing a dark smirk to grace my lips.I knew from the very start that she was an interesting girl, and I was sure to hunt her down the Earth.After I made her suck my cock, I couldn't get her off my head, not because of any fucking love, because I don't do that shit, but because she woke my demons and now, they are craving for her.Her scent.Her voice.Her eyes.Her mouth and everything related to her.I have to make her attend to my needs and be mine, even if I have to visit hell for that.Turning to the next page of the file, a dark frown appeared on my face, as my eyes traced each word written in it.“ She caught her ex-fiance cheating on
ALESSIA'S POVHe was back again.He was back again while I was still struggling to get him out of my fucking mind.I left the hospital early because of that incident earlier.Maybe whatever happened was because I haven't slept for a long time, due to how hectic my job was.I didn't even have the opportunity to cry my eyes out after the betrayal from my ex-fiance and my supposed best friend.After the ordeal with the devil, I scurried out of the club with the hope of going home to get some rest.My head was banging and my eyes were blurry, but unfortunately, I was called for an emergency surgery.I ended up having just an hour of sleep at the worker's lodge.This week has been an hectic one and after the incident of not being able to get the devil off my mind, I asked for permission to go home.I turned off my phone so I won't be called back for any emergency surgery again.Upon getting home, I took a shower and headed towards the kitchen to fix myself something to eat.I was still coo
ALESSIA'S POVIt took about twenty more minutes to regain myself.All those while, he remained standing, eyes on me.I opened my mouth to say a word, but I couldn't. It felt as if my tongue had been tied against the walls of my mouth.Everything felt like a movie or rather, a book. A dark romance book where the ML is a stalker and would stalk the FL even if she hides in hell.That wasn't a life I pictured for myself.I can't let a stranger I know nothing about ruin my normal life and turn me into an abnormal woman.“ What do you want from me again?” My voice came out in a frustrated sigh.I was tired of everything, but this devil's heir was making it even worse.“ YOU” he drawled in a low and menacing tone.I cocked an eyebrow, trying to wrap my head around what he meant.I just wish whatever he was trying to get from me, doesn't break me into pieces in the end.“ I don't understand. Can you broaden my horizons?” I asked, standing to my feet with my hands folded under by boobs.“ I s
ALESSIA'S POVMy jaw dropped and my core throbbed.The fact that his dirty words make me wet, annoys the hell out of me.For heaven's sake, he is a stranger.Someone I know nothing about.“ My virginity has nothing to do with you, dick head. So get out of my house.” I gritted my teeth.“ And what if I don't?” He cocked an eyebrow, his eyes dark.“ I will call the cops on you.”“ You should have done that a while ago, but you didn't.” He said, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.“ I didn't because I was so shocked when you grabbed me by my waist.” I defended, a deep frown settling on my face.“ Feisty type, huh? I like girls.” He smirked darkly and let go of my waist.Once he did, I felt cold air hit my waist as his warmth disappeared.“ Please let me go. I'm sure they are more beautiful and curvy in the whole of Italy.” I said, literally begging him.“ I know right. But they can't tame my demons the way you do.” He smirked and bent a little as he leaned closer to my ear.“ Don't yo
ALESSIA'S POV“Are you okay?” CeCe asked, her voice jotting me out of my thoughts.Hell, I wasn't okay at all, not when the devil himself was lurking around me.“ Yeah..yeah, I'm fine.” I took a sip from my wine, my legs coiling beneath me.I don't know what his gaze does to me, but it makes me melt even when I wasn't even touched.Nathaniel's gaze was on me and so was Cassius.I was between my college crush and the devil lurking in my life, but only his gaze burned me.“ Hey,” Nathaniel flashed me a cute smile as he sat beside me.I was so nervous that I felt my heart drumming against my ribcage.“ Hi,” I smiled nervously.My palms were already sweaty.“ It's been a while since we met. Hope you're good?” He asked and I nodded with a smile.Oh, how I wish to strike a conversation and talk like old days, but I couldn't, not when a certain eye was piercing me with his gaze.“ Yes, I am good. What about you?” I asked, flowing with the conversation.I was getting more and more comfortable
ALESSIA'S POV My worst fear has finally shown its ugly head.When I thought I would be having a life of bliss. The life I have always dreamt of, with Cassius.As a Mafia lord, I know an arranged marriage would be beneficial for him, at some point. But I never realised it would be sooner than I expected.Would it be greedy to say that I want Cassius all to myself?I want him to get married to me and not some arranged bride?But, since it all got to this, my heart was shattered into millions of pieces and a fist-sized lump lodged in my throat.The reality of everything weighed on my shoulder, and my stomach twisted with some feelings that I couldn't quite place a finger on.I felt low and used, as tears cascaded down my cheeks and fell on my thighs.“ Stop crying, Alessia,” CeCe held my shoulder tight, trying to comfort me, but I didn't feel the need to be comforted. I can't be comforted. “ We can settle this. Just call his again.”“ I can't, CeCe. He already made his pick, but I have
ARIA'S POV “ If only I knew you were also after my pants, I wouldn't have let you come closer.” I narrowed my eyes. “ You're no different from those thugs who tried to rape me two days ago.”I shouldn't have said such, but I was too angry to stop myself, and now, Banks is also mad.Lately, he became so obsessive with me, stalking and following me around, and that alone, made me angry and mad.I didn't know what he was after, but one thing is sure, he is after my pants. Once he gets what he wants, he disappears from my life, and I must admit, I'm afraid of that.I don't want to give my all to someone, and then get abandoned after, just the way my mum abandoned I and my dad, and now, he transfers his aggression on me.During the party tonight, Penelope urged me to come with her, and I did.I saw Banks from the corners of my eyes, flirting with a girl, and I felt my chest tightened for some weird reason.My throat ran dry and it felt as if there was a lump in my throat, impossible to di
CASSIUS'S POV Today, I was supposed to pick Alessia from the hospital - no, I had plans of picking her, if only Father didn't ruin my plan.I was dressing up, ready to head to the hospital, when I got a call from him.“ What do you want?” That was the first words that left my lips, immediately I picked up his call.He is bad news.Whatever he had to say, wasn't anything close to good news, my instincts were never wrong.“ Come to Magdalene's villa, we need to discuss about the wedding.” He cold authorative voice said from the other end of the phone.I remained silent for a few seconds, before a dark chuckle spilled out of my lips.Was this old man kidding me?He is definitely fucking with me, and I swear, it won't be funny- it would be fucking bloody.“ I need a response from you, Cassius!” He yelled but I cut him off.“ You don't get to yell at me old man!” I was pissed off. “ If you really want to be in-laws with Magdalene, you can as well marry her daughter, and leave me the fuck
ALESSIA'S POV It's been a week in the hospital, and now, finally, I was discharged.Cassius has been overly good to me. Maybe, I was thinking too much about it, but to me, it seems so.He never left my side, and often slept in the hospital with me, if CeCe has a nigh shift at the hospital.Unfortunately, today, he proved me wrong. He proved that whatever fucked up thoughts I had in my head, was a big bloody lie.He wasn't here today.For some reason, I felt sad and my heart dropped to my stomach, when I got a single-line message from him, saying;‘ I won't be there with you, I have something important to attend.’And that was all.I know, I fucking know that everyone has one or two important things to attend to, but why do I feel like whatever he had to attend to, was more important than I was?“ Can you stop sighing already?” CeCe heaved a sigh, as she led the way out of the ward. “ He didn't come, doesn't mean he won't come forever, Alessia.”“ But why do I feel troubled?” I asked.
AUTHOR'S POV.MAGDALENE’S MANSION In the beautiful mansion of Magdalene, a beautiful lady of about twenty five years, came down from the stairs.Her fair skin radiated her beauty and her slender legs, made her look more like a model.“ Are you heading somewhere, Adeline?” Magdalene asked, dragging her gaze from the newspaper in her hand to her daughter.“ I just want to stroll out. Am I not permitted?” Adeline pouted.“ You have my permission, but no alcohol or heavy drinking. You will be getting married soon, and I won't tolerate that.” Magdalene’s voice turned stern.“ Fine. I just can't wait to see my fiancé and what he looks like.” Adeline heaved a sigh.“ You would fall in love with him once you set your eyes on him. He is so handsome.” Magdalene's stern face turned soft as she spoke about Cassius.“ I hope so too.” Adeline smiled. “ Bye mama.”Adeline walked out of the mansion, and once she was gone, Magdalene took out her phone and dialled a line.“ Follow Adeline, and make su
BANKS’S POVEverything seemed weird from the night I came across her on the street.Aria.She was starting to become an obsession. My obsession.Even when I was in Australia, no girl caught my interest, and I rarely fuck because of that.But now, I think Aria has unleashed the demons in me, because I can't stop myself.She became an obsession that I can't control.That night when I saved her from those thugs.I wanted to return, find those bloody bastards and cut off their dicks, so they won't mess with her next time, but lucky for them, they were no where to be found.I will still carry out my intentions, once I find them.Asking Aria for her address, I wanted to take her home, and make sure she arrives safely, before returning to the clan, but she took it the wrong way.And when I told her I love women with big boobs and ass, I was only teasing her, but she completely fell for it.I could see vividly well, how her eyes flared up in anger and her cheeks burned red with embarrassment.
ARIA'S POVI never expected to meet him. Infact, I never got once thought that our part would cross, let alone saving me from those thugs, but I was grateful he did.What would have become of me, if those thugs really had their way with me?My dignity, my pride as a woman. I would have lost all, if not for his help.The hatred i harbour against him, reduced a little.I couldn't say I hate him that much anymore, but I still don't like him.The dark aura, the dark smirk, the devilsh brown eyes. They are so intimidating as fuck!I stood riled to the ground as he sent those thugs away.I couldn't believe what was happening, not until he stood in front of me, his devilsh smirk, dancing at the corners of his lips.“ Are you a statue?” He asked, when he saw that I was frozen.“ Huh?” I was jerked out of my thoughts by his voice.“ If you want to get fucked by them, remain here.” He said coldly, shoved his hands inside his pocket and began to walk away.I was gripped with fear at the thought
CASSIUS'S POV After what Father said, I felt the blood in my body rushed to me head, and every bone in my body hardened.I dare him to try that shit with me.With a glare that could freeze even a demon, I turned sharply to Father and said, “ I. Dare. You. To. Fucking. Try. It.”I walked away, out of his fucked up clan after saying that.Even if I had to protect Alessia with my life, I would gladly do that, and never would I let Father kill her just because he wants me to bend to his rules.He had always wanted to rule over me and my Clan, since I happened to be the King of the underworld, but I didn't give him that chance to.And now that he seems to have the opportunity through Alessia, he wants to ride it.I drove off with my bike, heading straight to my clan to have a good rest.I haven't slept for a while due to the upcoming mission.The mission was said to be dangerous, Infact, the most deadly I have ever done in my whole entire life.But damn, I was so prepared for it.With thi
ALESSIA'S POV Upon getting to my apartment, I was so tired and my legs weren't left out. They were sore and so was middle, due to how rough Cassius was. After taking a cold shower, I was about to retire to bed, when I heard banging on my door. I jerked up, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. “ Who…is that?” My voice trailed off, as I grabbed my Pepper spray, ready to use it all on the person banging on my door. “ Open the door, Alessia. It's me, Lucas.” A masculine voice spoke up, and that was when I let my guard down. Going forward to the door, I opened it and drunk Lucas staggered into my apartment. My brows creased, as I locked the door and turned around to face him. “ Why are you here?” I placed both of my both hands on my waist. “ I came to apologise.” Lucas slurred, his eyes rolling continuously, while I stared blankly at him. “ As you can see, Lucas.” i started, my breath whooshing as i dipped my fingers into my hair. ‘ I'm about to go to bed. Can you p
