CHAPTER 24 -Love? Bullshit!
Barcelona, Spain-Europe | At 08:35 AM
Alby rubbed the side of Alessia's head to wake her up. Instead of being disturbed, Alessia even pulled the blanket closer, enjoying the soft caress on her head. Alby smiled amusedly, lowered his head and whispered right next to Alessia's ear.
"Wake up, darling."
Alessia was not bothered at all. The woman just yawned while turning
his body, with his back to Alby.
Alby shook his head slowly, "Alessia..."
"Five minutes, By. I'm still sleepy." Alessia muttered quietly.
Seeing that, Alby watched Alessia closely. Alessia is indeed the queen of sleep, but Alby never thought that Alessia could be this annoying. Usually she would wake up when the room was bright, but this time Alessia didn't even bother to get up and instead covered her face with the blanket.<
BAB 25~ statement"You still old?"Alby's question suddenly made Alessia look up. The woman had been ignoring Alby since this morning and was more focused on the design. Considering today is the last day for submitting the building design after yesterday's meeting was held.Alessia supported her cheeks, the corners of her lips slightly lifted while staring at Alby intently. "Do notsay you miss me, Mr. Stefano?"Alby leaned his body against the edge of the table. His gaze had not left Alessia, who had been ignoring him since this morning. "You want an honest answer?""Of course.""Well, I have to admit I do miss you, Ms. Alessia."Alessia smirked, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh, did you just say how you feel, sir?"Alby gave a smile, "It's really not elite if this is my way, Ms. Alessia. A
CHAPTER 26~ Datum"Wake up, Ale."Arabella grabbed Alessia's blanket and threw it in any direction. The woman had even carried Alessia's tiny body and forced her to get up. Difficult. Waking the sleeping queen does require extra energy. Patience is needed here.Since Alessia's return this afternoon they had not had time to exchange news and when Keira saw that Alessia had arrived in New York, they finally rushed to meet Alessia at Alby's penthouse.Alessia cursed in annoyance, feeling tight when Arabella and Keira still remained faithfully on top of her. "You're disturbing my sleep, Girls.""Oh, we don't care, Baby." Keira giggled sitting on Alessia's left side.They surrounded Alessia with various gazes. Alessia knew what had brought them to disturb her sleep. It's just, isn't it too much?"You two left without Zavier. Ah, did you two go
CHAPTER TWO SEVEN TruthAlessia focused her head on her folded hands. After a brief conversation with Michael, Alessia was a little surprised. The reason is, Alessia knows her very stubborn father well.Michael wouldn't have said such a thing if it weren't for him deliberately succumbing to her. Alessia snorted.Back down?The question is... Why all of a sudden? Hadn't Zavier tricked him into their business game? Then why did Michael relent? Admit defeat?"Are you tired, Ms. Alessia?"Logan's exclamation immediately made Alessia lift her face and found Logan smiling sweetly in front of her desk. The man's sentiment was still the same, annoying according to him.Alessia straightened her body then shook her head, looking disinterested. "No. Also, there's no need to be formal with me." said Alessia making Logan nod. In fact, even though Ales
CHAPTER 28~ Trust me."I've agreed on that a long time ago."Alby nodded in understanding. Watching Alessia closely as the woman spoke. After an accidental meeting with Rey who had explained Alessia's position, finally Alessia couldn't help but tell everything to Alby. The story starts from Alessia's background and the matchmaking of the elders, to a ridiculous deal with her father Michael. Alessia feels relieved..There was a comfortable feeling when Alessia could honestly admit who she was and no longer had to hide anything. Alby already knows his biggest secret as well as knowing that he has enemies. Alessia thought that maybe Alby was the right person to help her to the end, considering that the man already knew the whole story of her life. Well, although not completely all the truth.Alessia raised an eyebrow when her blue bead met Alby's. And the new Alessia. realized that he hadn't even said a
CHAPTER 29~ Angry girlAlby looked at Elena flatly. Yesterday when he got a call about Elena who had a case with the cosmetics company she was in, Alby forced Elena to return to New York.After lunch Alby then visited Elena when she arrived in New York two hours ago."I just got here, Al. Why do you keep looking at me like that?" Elena complained with a pitiful face. Of course. After his long journey from France to New York his joints were tired. And when he was here Alby immediately judged him with his flat gaze? Oh, that's right!Alby looked at Elena bored, "How many times have you canceled your work contract and had to pay double your salary? It's not just once, twice, El.you can be responsible for your own work?" Alby scolded made Elenapursed lips.Indeed, from the beginning his decision to choose to enter the entertainment industry
CHAPTER 30~bastard boyAlby looked at Jean seriously. This morning Jean gave data about Elena when Alby arrived at the Stevano international building. When Alby asked for Elena's data all night, which had made it difficult for Jean, it was finally over today.Alby took the document that Jean gave him and started reading it. The data was complete as Alby wanted. It contained several activities that Elena had done about the woman's daily life. Alby continued to read because until the middle of the document everything was still fine. Nothing is wrong."Bellenzo?" Alby muttered reading the cooperation contract that Elena had canceled. "CompanyDe Hill's?"“I heard in the last two months the CEO of Hill corporate has taken overcompany, sir."Alby intertwined his fingers, "De Hill here is Vegan? Drug bandits on the black market?"
CHAPTER 31 — Feast and explanationAlby's metallic black limousine entered the courtyard of the Stefano residence. Rows of luxury cars lined up neatly almost filled the parking lot. Alessia was stunned for a moment when she saw that."Is every year always crowded like this, By?" Alessia asked without looking back.Alby glanced at Alessia, "Not really. Probably because it's Grandma's last partywant, Stefano must have invited a lot of old relationships."Alessia nodded as if she understood. After their car stopped, then Alessia realized they got off right at the entrance. Haven't had time to ask Alby before he got out when Jean opened the passenger door. Alby reached out to Alessia -helping her down. Alessia accepted it and got out of the car and walked side by side with Alby beside her."Well, we're the center of attention here again. It sucks." Alessia
CHAPTER 32-I caught youAfter the event, they gathered in Stevano's family room because the invited guests had started to leave the mansion a few minutes ago. Alessia actually wanted to get out of here too, but she couldn't help it when Clara asked her to stay the night. Not wanting to disappoint her on her birthday, Alessia finally agreed to stay at the Stefano residence.They were talking to Alby's friends who had just arrived. Alessia recognized two of the three people who had come. Logan approached him. "I barelyget to know you, Ms. Alessia. "He greeted.Alessia smiled a little, "I'm almost tired of saying this. No need to be formal with me, remember? And yes, thank you."Logan chuckled, "You're going to stay, too?"Alessia raised one eyebrow. "What do you mean by too'?""We will definitely stay, Ale."Alessia na
