CAMILLA'S POVI sat on one of the window seats and checked my phone again only to see several missed calls from Ruby. Why was she calling me frantically as though soomeone was dead?I hope nothing bad had happend. And i couldn't call while we were still on flight. I hope my mother was till fine. I sent her a message, so immediately we land and I turn off my phone airplane mode, the messages can send. I was reading a book while Alessandro worked on something on his laptop. After two hours, we decided to take a break. To see a movie.He told me to wait for him in the bedroom while he gets something. I lay down on the bed and I covered myself with a duvet while I waited for him. Soon, he returned with the TV remote, bags of chips and cashewnuts. Thoughtful. something to munch on while we are seeing the movie.“What movie will you like to watch?” He asked me while gesturing for what snack I want and I reached for the cashew nuts and he handed them to me.“I'll watch whatever you want to

CAMILLA'S POVAlessandro's face suddenly lost colour when I asked about what he had wanted to tell me. This must be very serious.“Please sit down.” Alessandro gestured that I sit on the three-seater white sofa in the living room. Wary, I sat down carefully and saw a bead of sweat on his forehead as he sat beside me. What was wrong? Why is Alessandro so nervous? That was very unlike him.“I don't know how you are going to take this… but,” Alessandro began speaking in a low voice, “I want you to know that I am very sorry and I didn't plan to hold onto this for long. Please forgive me.” He went down on his knees and I gasped.“Alessandro, you are scaring me. Get up please!” I raised him to his feet but he resisted, “Tell me what is wrong.” I begged.He dragged in a deep breath and spoke, “I'm a mafia.” And I subconsciously Jerked back. His statement ringing like th4 Big Ben in my ear.“What did you say?” I asked again with wide eyes. I couldn't have heard what I heard. There must have b

ALESSANDRO'S POVWith slouched shoulders, I left the room. With clenched fists I trudged towards the elevator. In as much as my chest weighed heavily with pain, there was a gentle rustling of inner peace I got because I showed her the only skeleton in my cupboard. Maybe I should have told her from the onset and then maybe dhr could have forgiven me since… but now?I just hope she finds a place in her heart to forgive me. I know it is not going to be easy, but I'll wait if I have to. And it would be worth all the waiting. The elevator dinged as we got to the ground floorI entered my car and my driver drove me back to the mansion. The drive to the mansion was a blur, completely consumed by the thoughts of how to amend Camilla's trust in me.Soon we were at the mansion and as soon as I got down from the car, I saw the rugged, burly profile of Jax, who immediately stood at attention, saluting me immediately he saw me. I saluted him back with a smile and he went at ease.“You are Welcome

CAMILLA'S POVTears slipped from my eyes immediately as the elevator shut against Alessandro and I let myself collapse to the floor of the elevator as it descended. The cold of the metal floor seeping through my dress, a mirror to the cold world we live in.Loneliness clothed me like a thick cloth. With no one to rest my shoulder and cry on except the one I couldn't let myself go to. He was my only true ally. Ruby was too busy plotting new tricks, and my mother doesn't give a rat's ass if I was dead or alive. Alone. Maybe I was a true workaholic, like Ruby always said. How can a full-grown woman like me not have friends? Could it have been because I didn't go to college?The ding of the elevator pulled me out of my daydream, and I scrambled to my feet immediately so I didn't leave the security personnel wondering if I was mentally stable.Once the elevator opened fully, I trudged out of the elevator into the hallway, where a few couples were dining and laughing. I looked at the main d

CAMILLA'S POV“Ruby?” I answered with wide eyes.“What is she doing here?” Alessandro asked the question that was in my mind.“I don't know if she had mentioned that she had something to tell me. I guess that's why she is here.” I explained to Alessandro and I saw a frown crease his face. His face became suddenly distant. “Please let her in.” I told clara who immediately left the office. Probably not wanting to be tagged as a gossip, but it was people most likely like her were the greatest gossips of all time.“Why do you look so annoyed? you obviously don't want to see her, what did she do?”“Nothing really.” he shrugged, “I'm just no5 fond of her anymore.”“Does she still stay at your house?” I asked my eyes swimming in curiosity and he grimaced at me.“Gossip,” he teased and inlaughed “Oh please, Alessandro, just tell me. Why are you eating like a Saint now as though you don't ask me personal questions about people too. And by the way this is just my first time.”“I'm just doing
