THIRD PERSON'S POVAs early as 5:00 am the next day, Alessandro, who was getting ready to leave for an early flight, got a knock on his door even after he had ordered all of them not to disturb him."Come in." He commanded and immediately Giovanni walked in."There's some crazy lady who has been banging on the gates asking to be let in. She's yelling, asking us to let her visit her sister." Giovanni boldly reported."And you can't handle that?" Alessandro said, disappointed, his eyes darting at him."Um, Boss, we have asked her to leave countless times, but she proves to be stubborn.""Mr. Davison sure doesn't know how to tame his family." Alessandro muttered in boiling anger, but to Giovanni's hearing."Go get the girl and meet me outside." He said firmly as he made his way out towards the door."Sure thing Boss." Giovanni said as he walked behind him out of the room.Getting to the door, Alessandro headed towards the elevator while Giovanni took his left to Carly's room.Carly was s
CARLY'S POVFor the first time in my life, I wished Judy would stay with me longer.As I watched her walk through those giant gates, tears freely flowed down my cheeks.Just a few seconds after Judy had left, Alessandro's car speedily drove in.I wiped my tears with the back of my palm. "What's up with him?" I muttered to myself as I stood In front of the mansion's entrance door.I watched him get off the car and walk towards me."Follow me." He ordered, and I feared I've gotten into some kind of trouble.I followed him, trying so hard to cover up my trembling body and my intensified beating heart.Finally, we entered a luxurious sitting room with plush leather furniture.Alessandro motioned for me to sit down, and I complied, still feeling uneasy as I looked around, tensed. That was when I noticed the grand fireplace, I didn't even know that has been there since."You have to sign this." Alessandro said, interrupting me from my thoughts.I looked at him confused, "Huh?" I did reflexi
THIRD PERSON'S POV"Besides you're the reason my life is being threatened here." Tyrion said again, looking straight at his cousin's face. Seeing that none of his excuses were getting to him, he had to devise another means."Ok fine, maybe I'll go back and then end up with a bullet in my head and…"Feeling defeated with the strong urge of always protecting his little brother, Alessandro reluctantly allowed him to stay."Fine." He cuts in. "But you're staying on one condition." Alessandro said with this stoic look on his face."Ok, let me hear it, bro." Tyrion said as he rested his back in victory."You don't disturb my peace, and those guards aren't staying in my house with you." He stated."You said one condition, but you gave me two conditions." Tyrion replied."It's either you take it or leave it, you don't disturb my peace and those guards don't stay here with you." Alessandro repeated in a more serious tone."Noted bro, I'll ask them to leave immediately and as for your peace, I
CARLY'S POVThose words Tyrion said kept ringing in my head, maybe he was saying that to make me feel comfortable, but deep inside I really wanted Alessandro to want me."Uhm, I think I'm done eating, I'll be leaving now." I said, avoiding all eye contact, the moment I was done with my plate."We will be going to a diamond auction by tomorrow, in the evening. I suggest you come with us, who knows, you might actually bring more luck than my big bro here had ever gotten." Tyrion said the moment I stood up from the chair.Immediately those words left his mouth, I saw Alessandro's darting eyes on him."No, thanks. Those are not really my thing." I said before I tried to leave."Wait a moment." Tyrion said, then turned to Alessandro."Ask her to come, please… please. Besides, she's your wife to be and all your business partners should get to know her." Tyrion said, giving his brother pleading eyes."I don't think she has to." Alessandro responded."Maybe I should call Sandra instead." He s
THIRD PERSON'S POV"Get rid of me!" Carly repeated in a louder tone and wider eyes, which made Alessandro smile at her."It's definitely not what you think." Alessandro said sternly."Then what is it?""You're just the perfect person for this.""How am I the perfect person?" Carly asked with curiosity written all over her face.Alessandro leaned forward,"You desperately need your freedom and won't hesitate to leave me alone without any form of drama once the contract is overdue." Alessandro explained as he poured more wine into his cup and Carly's.Seeing that Carly was still staring at him confused, he added, "What I'm trying to say here is, you wouldn't want to remain as my wife like most girls would.""Oh I see." Carly said with a sigh of relief before she gulped half the wine in her glass."Oh I forgot, cheers!" She said, extending her cup.Alessandro looked at her and smirked, "Cheers." He said, clicking his glass with hers.There was a long silence between them as they both dra
CARLY'S POVDisappointed, I walked back to my room.I don't even know what I would have said if Alessandro were actually around.Gosh! I feel so embarrassed right now.I sat on the edge of my bed, replaying the awkward encounter in my mind. It's like my words evaporated, leaving me tongue-tied. How did I manage to make such a fool of myself in front of Alessandro? Uh! I hate getting drunk.I suddenly woke up to this persistent knock on my door. I guess I might have slept off unknowingly.I immediately got up and walked towards the door, ignoring the little ache I felt in my head as a result.Opening the door, I was a bit surprised to see Alessandro standing in front of the door.I was so afraid that I was going to be scolded at for locking the door, but instead he looked at me and… Did he just smile, smirk or grin at me?Immediately I tried apologizing for locking the door, even though stuttering got the best of me. "I'm… I'm Sorry, I di.. didn't…" "Don't forget, you have a promise
CARLY'S POVI can't tell what's up with Alessandro tonight, but he undeniably looked scary and furious.Was I conversing with his rival?"You're coming with me." He said as he dragged me outside."What about the auction?" I asked, not wanting to be the reason he misses out on something like that."Tyrion will handle it." He coldly responded as he dragged me to the car, gently pushed me to the front seat, and immediately entered the driver's seat.The moment he did, he kick-started the car and drove off at full speed."Alessandro!" I called out."Sandro! Slow down!" I yelled, but he didn't listen. Instead, he increased his speed.I looked at him in fear, he looked so angry. Worst is, he kept increasing the speed of the drive at every interval."Stop! Sandro stop!" I yelled again, looking as I looked at the cars ahead of us hoping we don't crash into a truck. "Stop driving so fast, you're going to get us killed!" I said out of fear, he was really going to get us killed with that speed,
CARLY'S POVGetting back to the mansion and to my room was a heart racing moment.I kept making eye contact with Alessandro while we were in the elevator, and I swear one could hear my heart beat from two-step away."Goodnight." I heard him say the moment I stepped out of the elevator.I stopped dead in my tracks, and turned back, looking at him intensely."Thanks." I managed to say, even though the words barely left my lips.The moment I responded, I rushed towards my room."What have gotten over him?" I asked myself.The night was a long one as I kept turning from one side of the bed to the other as the whole thing that happened that day kept replaying in my head.The next day, I woke up feeling a mix of nerves and curiosity. Would Alessandro act any differently after last night? He had done it before, act sweet one minute, and then back to his old self the next minute. I feared he would do so again.I also couldn't shake the memory of his intense gaze in the elevator. As I made my
