ALESSIA'S POVOn my way home, I got a call from Lucas which irked me.My stomach twisted with a particular feeling that I could quite point a finger at.It was definitely not hate, or anger, but he made my stomach twist so much that I almost threw up inside my car.Nevertheless, I was able to compose myself and pick his call after the third ring.I have no idea why he was calling, and really didn't want to know.“ Hello,” I mustered up all the strength in me not to gauge as we spoke.“ I got a call from Aunt about Uncle Williams' 50th birthday party tomorrow.” He started, and I pressed my lips together in a thing line, waiting patiently for whatever he had to say. “ So how do we go about it tomorrow? Should we just pretend that our engagement is still on?”I almost chuckled at his ridiculous idea.There was no flipping way in hell I would go with him to my Uncle's place, when we already broke up after I caught him cheating.“ Alessia.” He called in a soft voice that made me almost fee
CASSIUS'S POVOpening my eyes, I met Alessia's face just an inch away from mine.As she slept peacefully, I couldn't help but trace my fingers on her face.I felt like kissing the fuck out of her lips, nd leave her breathless when she pouted her heart-shaped lips.She is fucking gorgeous, and I could bid my whole wealth, for just a night with her.My eyes drifted from her features down to her breasts.My hands were itching to cup her breast in my palms and tease her tits with my tongue.Fuck! She was making my cock stand, even without doing a thing.If not for the fact that she was sleeping and was tired due to the day's activities, I would have flipped her over and spank her ass, as I shove my cock into her ass hole.I felt like doing all manners of sins with her, but it wasn't the right time.My phone rang for the tenth time, and I took it from my pocket and picked it up.“ What is it, Dragon?” I asked, sitting upright from Alessia's bed.“ We have a problem.” He said, as he hesitat
CASSIUS'S POVDid I really have no one to protect?Yes, I have no one to protect, as far as I don't drag Alessia into my mess.I would avoid her as much as I can, if that would protect her from my world.Once I got back to the Clan, I needed a good fuck, so as to get Alessia out of my mind.As I dashed into my room to take a cool shower, Stella walked into my room.“ What are you doing here?” My brows dipped as I saw her inside my room.“ I'm sorry Boss. You can punish me after this, but I'm horny.” Stella said, biting on her lower lips as she ran her hands all over her body.My cock sprained up with sexual needs, but I didn't want to cave in just yet.I watched as Stella walked towards me and began to undress.Her eyes locked with mine, and soon, my vision was clouded with lust.It's been a while since I used my kinks on her, and now was the perfect time.Lurking around Alessia's would bring me nothing.I couldn't fuck her just yet, and I needed a fuck, so Stella would do at the mome
ALESSIA'S POV “ You might as well return the favour for my help.” I could imagine the smirk tugging at the corners of his lips as he sent the message to me. I have no idea what he meant by that, but it was surely not of a good course. He wanted something from me in return for tagging along with me to Lucas' wedding. I just hope he won't ask for something I won't be able to give, but what was I expecting from a devil? The devil doesn't give something without another in return, and that was exactly what Cassius was. Throughout my day at work, I kept fidgeting and biting on my nails, racking my brain for what he could possibly want, but none came to my head. “ Are you thinking, Bunny?” A message popped on my screen, causing a frown to etch on my face. How the fuck did he know that I was thinking of the favour he would ask in return? “ None of your business.” I replied back, staring at my phone for his neck massage. “ I feel like fucking your pussy right now.” Shivers rolled do
ALESSIA'S POVI have no idea how I was able to scurry out of his deadly trap, but I was grateful I did.I was at home since it was a Saturday evening, preparing to head to my Uncle's birthday party.Standing in front of the mirror, fully dressed with make-up, I shut my eyes, inhaled and exhaled, before opening them.I was trying to get myself together and not let my cousin's words get to me.I was sure they would be there with their friends and boyfriends, as we all attended the same college with Rachel and Lucas, but the feeling I felt within me was nothing short of dread.I didn't want to go, and I don't have to go, but I couldn't help it.Ever since the death of my parents, Uncle Williams and his wife, Aunt Lucy took me in and treated me like their child.I was happy, but only for a short while because their kids treated me like a slave.They made me inferior while we were growing up.Elisa and Emma hated me to the very core, and they would stop at nothing to treat me badly.I endu
ALESSIA'S POVI smirked knowingly, as we kept looking at each other with challenges glittering in our eyes.As much as he was up for this game, I was also in for it.“ Alessia, you look so beautiful tonight.” A young man of about thirty years old, walked towards my side with a smile on his lips.“ Thank you.” I replied, returning the smile.“ I'm Brandon.” He stretched his hand forward for a handshake, which I accepted without any form of hesitation.I was single and he was obviously single also.If he wasn't single, his wife would have walked over to where I stood, pulling every single hair on my scalp.“ It's nice meeting you.” I pretended to look around for any sight of his wife, which made him chuckle.“ I know what you must be thinking. I'm single and searching.” He flashed me a flirty smile.“ Oh wow.” I chuckled.“ Can you grace me with a dance tonight?” He asked and I looked at Cassius whose eyes were getting darker.“ Sure, why not?” I replied, tore my eyes off Cassius, and w
CASSIUS'S POVEvery fucking details about Alessia Rossi, I know of it.There's not a single information about her that I didn't know of, including the fact that she would be attending her uncle's 50th birthday party tonight.I wouldn't let her go alone and let other men flirt with her.Even at the thought of it, my blood boiled so much, and my eyes turned bloodshot.“ Prepare a tuxedo suit and leather shoes for me.” I turned my gaze towards Dragon, whose head was hung low.He was damn surprised about my sudden order.Hell, I was surprised.I hated birthday parties for some reason, and that reason was a traumatic experience, so I avoided them as much as I avoided green apples, but I couldn't avoid it this time, not when Alessia would be attending.“ Boss? Birthday party?” “ It seems you've gone deaf, huh?” I said, my voice changing into a dangerous rumble.“ I'm sorry.”He left to get what I ordered of him.The thought of attending a birthday party, made my breath hitch and my grip on
ALESSIA'S POV I was feeling pleasure mixed with pain as Cassius spanked my ass and forced me to claim that I was his.Never have I been forced in my life, or we could say, I'm the stubborn type.I hate being controlled, but I couldn't resist it when it comes to Cassius.He has full control over everything in my life including my darn body.After he was done spanking me, I could stand properly.My legs wobbled on the ground, and my ass cheek ached so badly. “ Now dress you and enjoy the party like a good girl that you're.” He said deadpanned, and I just looked at him before wearing my clothes properly.I hate him and I also hate the fact that he gets to control me anytime and any fucking where he likes.After I was done dressing, I walked out of the restroom without giving a fuck about him.He wanted to speak up, but I walked out before he could even say a word.Upon getting to the door leading back to the party hall, I took in a deep breath and forced a smile on my lips.It was now
ALESSIA'S POV Waking up, my head was throbbing so hard and my eyes was almost blinded by the bright light inside the room I was in.I blinked rapidly for few seconds, trying to register in my brain where I was currently.The room was painted in white and it smelled so much like an hospital.Oh, I was in an hospital?“ You're awake! Alessia, can you remember me?” A loud voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to my left side only to see Aunty Lucy beside me with tears in her eyes.How did she know that I was shot and I was currently in the hospital?Shit! CeCe that blabbermouth!I forced a smile, as I tried to sit upright.“ No, no! Don't!” She stopped me from sitting upright.I looked around and saw my cousins, Elisa and Emma seated, their eyes on their phones.I was looking for Cassius, but he was nowhere to be found.Before I lost consciousness, I held onto him, hoping he won't leave me, but he did.After finding out from Cassius that the man who came to my room was his twin
CASSIUS POV My heart stopped at the sight in front of me.I couldn't think of see clear with the blood covered everywhere.My brain shut dead, when I saw Alessia lying in the pool of her own blood. Everything stopped.I couldn't drag my legs towards her, instead, I kept watching her in the pool of her own blood when Dragon and Banks already rushed to help stop the bleeding.They were all panicking which CeCe was crying her eyes out.Russius was laying dead on the ground.“ Brother!”“ Boss!” I could hear my name from distance as bothe Dragon and Banks kept calling my name, trying to snap me out of my frenzy.Banks suddenly rushed to me and shook me, only then, did I snap out of my frenzy, out of my thoughts, out of my dilemma.I rushed to Alessia who was still trying to remain awake.Her eyes were weak, and she immediately reached out to hold my hand.“ I….I might not survive….so always make sure to keep me in your heart…” she struggled to bring out those words.I shook my head.Eve
CASSIUS'S POV I thought that we've moved past that stage.The stage where my brother. My own fucking twin brother would come as a villain to torture me, all because he was sent away by our father.I could remember vividly well how it all happened.Russius, I and Banks were the closest brothers anyone could think of, but when it happened, our bond were severed.I was still thinking when the door to my room pushed open.“ Brother, what is going on?” Banks asked, his eyes hid fear.He was afraid of Russius and what he might do since he was back after so many years.He never showed up when I built my clan, why now if all time?“ Yes. Russius is back. He is with my woman now.” I said grabbing my gun from the drawer. “ I'm heading there.”“ I will come with you.” Bank said, but I frowned.“ Stay back! You don't know what he is capable of doing!”“ I won't! He is also my brother, our brother, so let me come along.” I sighed and walked out for the room fully armed with Banks behind me.Make
ALESSIA'S POV The art gala party came to an end soon, and I needed nothing more than to return home and explain the situation to Nathaniel.I can't accept his proposal no matter how hard I tried to convince myself.Cassius doesn't deserve me. He is douchebag, a psychopath, a Mafia lord whom I was supposed to stay away from.I hate that I'm pathetic and head over hills for a walking red flag like him.“ You've been quiet, Alessia. Is there a problem?” Nathaniel who was driving teacher his left hand to hold me, and I flinched at his touch.“ I'm fine.” I replied and bit my lips, until it was a bit swollen, before speaking up. “ I have something to say to you, Nathaniel. And I hope you won't take it the wrong way.”“ Okay, what is that? I'm all ears.” “ I will tell you when we are alone.” I replied and leaned back on the car's seat.I know that I might regret not accepting a good man like Nathaniel, but my heart was already made up.Cassius or no one.Moreover, he is the father of my u
CASSIUS'S POVI admit that I was in the wrong for not letting Alessia know about my current situation and the engagement between myself and Adeline, but she took it extremely too far, that I could barely contain my anger.I felt like snapping Nathaniel's head off his neck. Fuck! I don't care if he was my close friend or not.I hate my woman being next to another man other than me, let alone being hold by the waist by someone else, other than me.Nathaniel was invited to the Art gala, that, I was aware of.But what I never knew, was the fact that he brought Alessia and also CeCe, her best friend with him.When our eyes met, I wanted to stride towards her and engulf her into my arms, and then proceed to give her theost warm kiss ever.I have missed Alessia so badly, that I kept having wet dreams at night.I missed her pussy, her lips, her nipples, her breasts and every fucking part of her body.How I wish I could throw her up my shoulder and kidnapped her to my mansion in an island, whe
ALESSIA’S POV The kiss didn't lasted for over a minute before I broke it.It didn't taste like him. Cassius.Cassius has a minty scent, and the way he deep-throats me, I so much love it.But that didn't apply with Nathaniel. He just kissed me back like the gentleman that he was.It wasn't so surprising that I wasn't into gentlemen.I want my man rough and domineering. I want to cower and beg under his touch. I want to be tied with leash and tortured until I can't feel my legs anymore.It's weird to say, but I love it the way Cassius does with me.Once the kiss was broken, Nathaniel flashed me a smile and bit his lips.I immediately felt guilty. I felt guilty for leading him on to a relationship with no future, for using his feelings for me to get a reaction from a certain person.“ I'm sorry.” I muttered but he smiled.“ It's fine. Is that a yes to my proposal?” He asked and I gulped, dragging my eyes towards Cassius who was shooting lasers from his eyes at me, then back at Nathanie
ALESSIA POVI felt pain in my chest at the sight.He wanted to kill every men who looked at me at the Art gala, yet, he wasn't ready to make me his, fully.If he had loved me, he wouldn't be getting married to someone else.I felt a fist-sized lump lodged at my throat. It was a bitter and painful taste.I took a deep breath, and relaxed in Nathaniel's arm.If this is how he wanted to play his games, I'm in for it. Fully in.As we approached them, I smiled– a pretentious one.“ Hey, What's up?” Nathaniel stretched his hand forward for an handshake, but Cassius ignored him, his eyes on me, but I didn't want to look at him straight in the eyes.Every cold wall I built around my heart could collapse if I look at him.The lady by his side nudged at him, and only then did he accept the handshake from Nathaniel–reluctanly.“ I never expected you at such a place,” Nathaniel chuckled. “ It doesn't suit your personality.”“ I forced him to come with me. You know, we will be getting married soon
ALESSIA’S POV My fingers grazed at the beautiful gown sent to me by Nathaniel.It was almost time for him to pick me up, but I feel like I'm cheating on Cassius, for some goddamn reason.His words came fresh into my head.‘ Only I can see you looking so pretty. You should never let any other man other than me see your cleavages.’But now, another man, In Fact, a lot of people would be seeing that tonight.“ Are you ready, Alessia? It's almost time!” CeCe shouted from downstairs, snapping me out of my thoughts.I cleared my throat and took down the dress from the hanger.I slowly took off my clothes and put on the dress, checking myself out in the dressing mirror.The dress fitted perfectly, as if Nathaniel knew my size.“ It's beautiful.” I forced a smile, wore the shoes and did some light make-up to cover my dark circles and sad features.Without the makeup, I would look nothing short of a ghost.A virgin ghost, yo be precise.I haven't had a good sleep for a while now, and dark cir
ALESSIA'S POV He didn't call back or even as much sent a text.I was supposed to have given up and try to move on, but I can't. I couldn't.It even got worse, as he is everywhere around me and even in my head.The bastard keep dominating my thoughts and making me hallucinate.Sometimes, CeCe would think that I was mentally unstable. It was all because of Cassius Fucking Riven.He was slowly turning me into a mentally deranged person. A crazy bitch in love.What more can I say?It wasn't as if I can control my heart and stop it from longing for him and my brain for thinking about him.They are out of my control now.I rolled from one fucking end of the bed to another. Shit! Another sleepless night. Another day of head ache and puffy eyes.I was supposed to pull myself together. To think about my future without Him.But I couldn't, instead, I continued weeping like a child whose parents died during the night when everyone was asleep.I bet I didn't cry as much as I did now, when my ad
