CASSIUS POVAfter fucking Alessia until she couldn't walk or move about with her legs, we both fell asleep, but the ringing of my phone woke me up.With a groan, I picked up the call and answered it.The call was from Dragon.“ What is it, Dragon?” I asked, my voice husked and deep.“ Your brother is back.” He said and all the sleep wiped off my eyes.“ Which of my brothers?” My jaw hardened and my hold on the phone tightened.I get sensitive at the mention of my brothers, since I have two.I wouldn't like to talk about any of them.“ The younger one. Banks.” Dragon replied, and my hold on the phone loosened.“ Why is he back? Didn't he say he wants to finish his college education in Australia?” I asked.“ He said he is tired of Australia, so he will further his education here in Italy at NeverLine College.” Dragon replied and I dug my fingers into my hair with a sigh.“ What is wrong with that bastard?” I gritted.“ I will be back soon.” I replied and hung up.Turning around, Alessia
BANK'S POVAfter our encounter the previous night after my return from Australia, I never set my eyes on Cassius.It was more like I stayed out of his sight and lane.I didn't return to anger him, I returned because I was sick and tired of Australia and I had to further my education.I decided to come to Italy to further my education, and I will be attending NeverLine College.Most of my childhood friends attend college, so it would be easy for me to adapt.Even if none of them attend NeverLine College, I can adapt on my own.No one sees the inner side of me, not even Cassius or my other brother.But unfortunately, the first person to see the devilish side of me, was the girl who I helped when she was about to get raped, last night.The look on her face was thrilling and fascinating.She was so pale and blood-drained, and that look of fear got me more excited.As a predator, I need to instil fear in my prey.“ Everything you need has been prepared. All you have to do is to attend coll
ALESSIA'S POVI had no idea, not even the slightest idea why Cassius was acting distant again.He made a promise to tell me something about himself once I made him feel pleased, and I did.I was desperate to know him more, but guess what?He left without saying a word.I couldn't even say a word or as I stared in disbelief.Honestly, he is the hardest person to read.I couldn't fathom what was going on in his head, no matter how hard I tried.It's been two days since I set my eyes on him.Funny enough, other than his contact, I know absolutely nothing about him.Where does he live? No ideaAny of his family members? No ideaAll I knew was that he is Satan's heir, the Mafia lord of Black Stone Clan.“ Fuck!” I exclaimed once an idea popped into my head.I could definitely locate him myself, if I go to his clan.I know I sounded desperate like a bitch, but I have no option. I needed to make a stand on where I belong in this relationship.I don't even know if we are dating or having a fl
CASSIUS POV While I thought of going after Alessia, I shrugged the idea.She didn't mean whatever she was saying.She was only mad because I refused to say a thing about myself.Fuck!I can't do this anymore. No more.Before I could even stop myself, I already left my office, walking in fast stride, so as to catch up with her.Luckily for me, she was at the gate. At the verge of leaving.I grabbed her hand, just before she could leave, turning her towards me.“ What do you want?” She raised her brow, avoiding my gaze, so I didn't see that she had been crying all the way out of my office.“ You can't leave.” I growled. “ I won't let you.”“ Why?” She raised her palm to wipe the tears on her cheeks, smearing her makeup. “ You already made it clear to me that you already gave up on whatever we had, so let me go.”She struggled in my grip. Alessia wanted to leave my life, but can I let her go?No, fucking no!I can't! Not in this lifetime or the next.“ I didn't give up on you or whateve
ARIA'S POVHe was back again.Again, but not to kill this time, he was in the same college as me.The psychopath who killed two men in front of me, one night.I could never forget that night, and the look on his face as he killed them.He was thrilled and excited as he killed his fellow human being.I even dreamt that he was coming after me, to kill me. Just the way he killed those two men.I was grateful that he saved me from two drunken men who would go out of their way to rape me, but the fact that he killed them brutally in front of my eyes, I couldn't get that shitty image out of my head.Ever since then.Funny enough, no matter how much I mustered up the courage to go to the police and report the murder case, I just couldn't.‘ What would you say when you get to the police station, huh?’ my subconscious mind said to me.“ I will just have to tell the truth. He killed people. They are someone's brother or someone's father.” I muttered with a heavy sigh.Throughout that night, I w
ALESSIA'S POVI felt fulfilled tonight.Maybe because Cassius told me everything about him without hiding. It meant that he didn't abandon our relationship.He didn't give up on whatever relationship we shared.Though he might not be the romantic kind of guy, it's weird to say that I liked just rough and dark.I am the type who loves princess treatment, but after knowing Cassius for over two months now, I got used to his dark and rough lifestyle.“ Thank you for not giving up on us.” I said, trailing my fingers against his chiselled chest.“ I don't give up on what belongs to me.” He said in a hoarse voice, drawing an imaginary circle around my back.“ But, what do you feel about me?” I suddenly asked after a few seconds of silence.That question has been eating me up for a while, and I am glad I was able to get it off my mind.“ I don't get the question.” He cocked a brow.“ What do you feel about me other than lust and a sense of ownership?” I asked, my eyes seared into his, searchi
ALESSIA'S POVAs usual, I didn't get a direct answer.It wasn't like he totally ignored my question, it was more like he didn't know how to reply to me.I knew for fact it was hard for someone who has never fallen in love , someone who has never felt any kind of emotions before, but I really wished he could open his heart for me.He has a heart, that is for sure, and for the emotions, he also has it, but it is buried deep in the darkest corners of his heart.To be able to hide emotions, I needed a lot of training, which I knew Cassius underwent.If only he could let out those emotions that are hiding deep inside his heart, and let me comfort him, he would be just fine, and life goes on.“ I don't know how to reply to that, Bunny. Let's take it slowly.” That was his reply.It wasn't like he gave a direct answer, but I was glad he didn't turn me down.“ Okay,” I replied in a low voice.We both got to our climax, and Cassius shot his warm seeds inside of me, both of us breathing hard lik
AUTHOR'S POVOnce Penelope and Aria got to the college's clinic, the doctor attended to her and also advised her to take a rest in the school clinic.“ You should go to class, Penelope. I will be fine.” Aria said, as she flashed her friend a reassuring smile.“ But I can't leave you here alone.” Penelope replied, her face clouded with worry.“ I will be fine. One of us needs to attend a lecture, at least.” Aria said and Penelope nodded, holding Aria's hand in hers.“ I will be back in an hour, so take a rest like the doctor said.” With that said, Penelope stood up and left the clinic, while Aria shut her eyes to take a rest like the doctor had advised.Just a few minutes after she drifted to sleep, she began to sweat profusely, as she threw her head sideways and her eyes shut.It seems she was having a nightmare in broad daylight.“ No…Mom…” Aria's voice trailed off as tears slipped from the corner of her eyes.“ Don't…leave..me..” The quivering in her voice showed that it wasn't an
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
It was time to return back to my office, as soon as Alessia left.She left on her own accord. Against my will.I never wanted or intended to let her go, pending the fact that I have enemies who are watching and lurking for every weaknesses of mine.I can't say she has being weakness yet, but sooner or later, I'll have to admit that she has become my weakness, and she also has a place on my heart.It was wierd to admit it. The fact that she already has a spot in my heart. In fact, she owns my heart.A heartless man like myself. Who would stop at nothing to kill and send evil people to hell.Now, a woman owns my heart, because I had let her. Because part of me wanted to be loved.To be cared for.Alessia might take it that I don't want to open up for her, whereas, I didn't want to admit the fact that I love her.Dressing in a button down shirt and trousers, I combed my jet black hair, and left my room, heading towards my office.Another fact came as a shock to me.When it comes to my u
