ALESSIA'S POVMy grip on Cassius' arm tightened as we walked closer to the couples, whose eyes were on us.Once we got to them, I flashed them a smile while Cassius remained unreadable.“ Happy married life.” I forced the words out of my mouth, trying to sound as natural as possible, but it was rather impossible.I felt a lump form in my throat, and tears stinging my eyes.It was taking the last strength in me to hold back my tears.“ If one tears drop, I will fuck you until you lose your breath, and also your voice.” Cassius whispered into my ear and I swallowed, pushing back the tears.“ Thank you.” Lucas smiled, the one that doesn't reach his eyes, a pretentious smile. “ I thought you were joking when you said you would be coming with your man.” Cassius turned to me with a proud dark smile.“ You called me your man, didn't you?” He smirked and I rolled my eyes.With his help, I was able to move on and stop the pain in my heart and the tears that were threatening to leave my eyes.
CASSIUS'S POVHell was going to break loose if I saw even a single scar on Alessia's body once I found her.Whoever dared to kidnap her under my watch, was definitely messing with death, because I would send his ass to hell.“ Where is Alessia?” I heard a frightened voice from behind me and when I looked over my shoulder, it turned out to be CeCe.She was almost in tears.“ Calm the fuck down. I will get her back!” I growled darkly and she knew best than to continue crying.She instantly stopped crying and continued calling Alessia's line.Whoever did this to Alessia, was from my end. It was a fact.And I'm totally at fault, for dragging her into my messed up world, and now, she's suffering because of that.Even if I find her, I can't promise not to involve her even more.“ Wesley, find Alessia Rossi for me in five minutes.” I placed a call across to Wesley and he got to work almost immediately.It's been a while since I attended a burial ceremony. I think I would be doing that soon,
ALESSIA'S POVI was scared to death that I thought I would die if Cassius didn't come to save me.I hated the way I was touched by the evil men in that place.They touched my lap, grabbed my boobs, spanked my ass like some sort of sex slave.I feel so dirty at the moment that all I wanted was to get a good wash, scrub off their touches from my body.“ Take me home.” I said once Cassius drove out of the Clan where I was kidnapped.“ I'm not taking you home, because you're coming with me.” He declined, his eyes fixed on the road.“ I want to go home, Cassius!” I yelled, tears almost leaving my eyes.I was mad at him, for not coming quicker to get me.For letting those bastards touch me with their stinky hands.“ And I fucking say no.” He replied with the same enthusiasm, and I had no option but to sink back into my chair and drown in my own thoughts.Silence filled with cars as each of us dwelled in our thoughts.The air was thick with tension and the silence was deafening, but I wasn't
LUCAS'S POVFinally, the wedding was over, but I wasn't feeling too good about it, not after Alessia came with her new man.I felt jealousy and anger rumble in the pit of my stomach for some reason.I didn't deserve to get angry. I don't have that right, not after cheating on her with her supposed best friend, and also getting married to the same best friend, on the day that was supposed to be her wedding with me.I was trapped, and this wedding was not of my choice.I didn't want to marry Rachel. I only wanted to keep her as my side chick and Alessia as my wife.Alessia be a busy lady, but she was everything I needed in a wife and I wished she was the one I got married to, but i fucked up.I was tempted for a fleeting moment and since then, it changed my whole life.I could remember vividly well how Rachel had called me to help her fix a pipe in her kitchen.That particular day turned out to be my resting day, so I decided to go over to her apartment to help with the pipe blockage.
ALESSIA'S POVI waited and waited, thinking Cassius would return to pick me up, but that bastard didn't return.He didn't care if I ended up dying on the street or get raped by some street boys.I began to walk on the lonely road, barefooted.The night air was chilling and I kept sneezing as I already caught a cold.Fortunately for me, I saw a , and ran as fast as my legs could get me over to the booth to make a call.I was able to scrap out a dollar bill, to enable me make the call.“ Hello, who is this?” Cece's weak voice could be heard from the other end of the telephone.“ CeCe, it's me Alessia. Come pick me up at the road by Mirage Mall.” I said.“ Are you really the one, Alessia?” She began to cry.“ Yes, stop crying already. I'm freezing.” I chuckled.“ Okay, I will be there soon.” She said and hung up, while I remained in the .I was able to stay warm.in the until CeCe arrived and picked me up.All I wanted to do was wash myself clean and have a nice sleep, forgetting all of
RACHEL'S POVI've always hated Alessia from the beginning of time, right from the day she left me at the orphanage and went with her new family, I've hated her since then.I could remember vividly well, how good of friends we were back then at the orphanage.We were just four years old then and inseparable.We always fight for each other and defend each other.When one of the bullies at the orphanage tried to bully Alessia because she appeared to be a quiet girl, I had to beat the bully so badly that I was punished severely, but I didn't regret it.Alessia begged the teacher not to punish me, but all her pleas fell into deaf ears.I was starved that evening, but Alessia sneaked in with her dinner to share with me.But unfortunately, our friendship didn't last because her new parents came to pick her up.I didn't want her to go, I begged and begged, but she left, leaving me in the orphanage.She told me she would come to see me from time to time, but she never did.After she left, out
CASSIUS’S POVGetting angry and dropping her off the road was never my plan, but who cares?Alessia had the guts to say shuts about me, and expected me to stay calm? Fuck! I can't!I might be fucking her and calling her Bunny, but that doesn't change who I am.I'm Cassius fucking Riven, the Satan's heir and the Mafia lord of Black Stone clan.After I told her to get down from my car, I drove off at full speed, but stopped on the road.I punched the car's glass out of anger.The sight of blood calmed me down, so after I punched the glass window, the sight of my blood calmed me down.“ Fuck you, Cassius!” I gritted and held the steering, making a U-turn, back to where I had left her on the street, but she was nowhere to be found.My heart skipped a beat for a second, until I saw Cece's car from a distance, only I was relieved then.I was relieved that CeCe had come to pick her up.Maybe it was for the best.I needed to fight off all my enemies, so they won't come at my valuable possessi
ALESSIA'S POVThroughout the hangout with Nathaniel, I wasn't feeling myself.It was as if my body was there with them, but my mind was somewhere else.I couldn't concentrate and kept doing things clumsily.“ Are you okay, Alessia? Do you want to return home?” Nathaniel asked and I quickly nodded.We had come to the park to hangout, but because of me, the hangout turned out to be boring.No matter how hard I tried to play along and pretend I was happy like every other person in the park, it didn't seem to work.“ Okay, let's take you home.” Nathaniel said and led the way to his car.“ Alessia, my dad called for me urgently, so I will be spending the night over at his place.” CeCe told me and didn't wait for my reply before she ran off.It was awkward with only Nathaniel and I, as I kept picking on my fingers, and praying that we get to my apartment as soon as possible.Even when Nathaniel tried to bring up conversation to ease the tension in the car, I ended up ruining everything.“ I
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
