"You called me, ma'am?" I ask the principal but i still kept my eyes on Nico.He was sitting on a sofa with the principal seated right across him.I just left the house about thirty minutes ago, how did he get here so fast? Was he following behind me?"Miss Russo. Do you think this school would accept any behaviour and turn a blind eye to your terrible behaviour due to the fact you have powerful people backing you up?" The principal asks and I stare at her blankly confused on what she meant.Uhhhhh……What bad behaviour? It was just one punch and suddenly I have a bad behaviour? And yes, I do expect them to ignore my said 'bad behaviour' because they do so for Alessia.My eyes goes to Nico who has still watching me and I raise my hand."Excuse me ma'am. I have one question though" I say and she looks at me as if to say "what now?""Go on" she says and my eyes flicker back to Nico"What is he doing here?"She rolls her eyes and mutters an 'ofcourse.'"Mr Perez, who is just your guardian

I take back what I had said. It was that hard."Aw. Don't be sad love, you did your best" Andrea tried to cheer me up and I turn to glare at her."Knowing seven out of fifteen questions isn't 'my best'" I say and she gives me a pointed look. Okay for now it was my best."But you knew all of them" I say in a whinny voice."That's because I come to school. Unlike someone who has been skipping school for a while now" She says and I groan, does she have to say that? She had to just put it that way, I think she is going to constantly remind me of what I did for the rest of our lives."Just let it be" I tell her looking up from my desk, my eyes meets Alessia who was glaring fiercely at me.I shudder with how intensely she glared at me.Her nose was wrapped up and I think that's a bit of an exaggeration because I didnt hit her hard enough to dislocate her nose, just a little bleeding and that's all."Barbie staring at you like she wants to strangle you" Andrea whispers and I nod still mainta

"The car is still unlocked Andrei" I say and he looks at me, locking eyes with me on purpose.Why does the car suddenly feel too small? Where did all my space go? I need to escape from here."I know that it's still locked" He says lowly, his deep voice vibrating through the air.If you know, then why don't you unlock it so I could get the hell out of here."Then why don't you unlock it Andrei?" I ask once again pushing back a bit.I don't like situations like this. My heart is hammering in my chest but in fear of Nico seeing us here and thinking the wrong thing.Nico being Nico would think wrongly if he sees us here."I love it when you say my name that way. The way you pronounce my name always affects me in more ways than one" He tells me with a weird look in his eyes and I move backwards once more, my back to the door.This is getting weirder by the second. Anyone hearing this would think we have something going on while we don't. And anyone is Nico.I'm still having issues with N

Domenico Perez POV*"Am I just going to throw her out? Yes I am. Is there anything you can do about that to stop me? No, there isn't." I say coldly, trying to hide the pain I was actually feeling inside. He is my right hand and this mafia needs him too and that's why I can't even throw him out if I wanted, and trust me when I say I really want to throw him out. Matteo was out on a mission and so was any other person that could have replaced him. When the shadow group reported to me that Andrei, my most trusted man and right hand was seen in a compromising position with my wife in a corner close to my room. I couldn't believe it. I called bullshit, I refused to believe it. Because why would they be bold enough to do something like that under my own nose? Then Andrei stated behaving suspiciously around Bella, I didn't miss the looks he gave her, the glances he stole when he thought no one was paying attention to him, the way he focused only on her like she was the only one he saw and h

Leaning my head against the window, I listen to the soft taps of the rain against the car's glass window.I thought I was never going to forgive Andrei for what he did, I thought I was also never going to talk to him ever again. But look at me here, having a conversation with him and it seems I had forgiven him too. Not that he did anything that needed much forgiveness or everything was his fault. I was just playing the blame game with him instead of taking responsibility for all my actions. I was the one that lied to Nico, not Andrei. I just couldn't handle the fact that I messed up and…."It was also my fault. Stop trying to put all the blame on yourself" Andrei tells me cutting my train of thoughts. I turn to look at him but he wasn't even looking at me but keeps his eyes on the road."It really isn't just your fault. I mean yes, you messed up with the lies. Domenico doesn't like people lying to him and that was a dumb move you made there. But it was also my fault if you think abo
