CARLY'S POVThe moment I stepped out of the bathroom on my towel, I saw Alessandro seated on my bed with his legs crossed like he owns the place."You're late." He said without even looking in my direction."I'm sorry, I lost track of time." I said still rooted in the ground."What were you doing the whole day?" He asked as he stood on his feet and walked towards me."Noth…noth… nothing." I stuttered.He gave this I know you're lying look, and I won't deny I felt a little scared.I didn't know what to expect."Your sister came today." He said as he took two steps away from me. "Get dressed I'll be waiting for you downstairs." He added immediately like the first sentence wasn't important. Turning his back to me, he said, "And wear something nice." I nodded and he left.The moment he did, I quickly walked towards the wardrobe, searching for the perfect night dress.I finally settled on a black silk dress that hugged my curves perfectly. I brushed my hair and applied some light makeup
CARLY'S POVAfter the dinner session, Alessandro's mom asked him to give me a quick tour of the mansion which I was excited about."I don't have time for that." He responded, but after the fiery look from his mom, he quickly accepted, and I couldn't help but giggle.There was actually someone in this world that could give him orders and he would obey.As I giggled, he gave me this killer look and I immediately composed."Thanks for the tour." I said before we even started.The tour was a quiet one, he didn't even talk to me, he just led me from one room to the other and then to the gallery where we spent almost all the time we had left before he requested we go back home."Meeting your mom wasn't bad at all." I said as we entered the car.He didn't say anything, just acted like he didn't hear me."You can't even congratulate me on a job well done." I snapped as he kick-started the car.He turned towards my direction, "You didn't do so bad." He said before he turned and drove off."Is
THIRD PERSON'S POVHearing those words Tyrion shyly turned to the other side smiling, but his face could be seen through the not so bright light in the room.Marco held him tight, "I'm glad you came tonight." He said."I'm glad I did too." Tyrion responded, smiling before he turned and kissed Marco's lips softly.At that moment, Alessandro barged in to them kissing, his eyes narrowing in anger."What the fuck is this?" he barked, his voice filled with rage. Marco jolted up from the bed, only in his boxers, his heart racing as he realized what was happening."What are you doing?" Alessandro snapped, his face contorted with fury."Marco has nothing to do with this, it was all me!" Tyrion said, his voice raised as he stood on his feet wrapped in the bedsheets.Alessandro stormed towards Marco burning in rage, the moment he stood face to face with him, he slapped his left cheek hard. Tyrion immediately rushed towards Marco."You're my fucking bodyguard, you're not supposed to be sleeping
THIRD PERSON'S POV The next day, Alessandro woke up to his cousin seated next to him staring at him intensely."What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat up."To continue the discussion from last night, as you requested."His cousin responded with this mischievous smile."First of all, what are you planning on doing to Marco?" He asked, still looking at him."You don't have to know about that. Just go away." He said as he pushed his brother aside gently in an attempt to get out of the bed."Ok fine, if you do anything to him, I'll tell mom that your relationship with Carly is a sham and a means to get her off your back. "And I mean it, I will really tell her." Tyrion threatened with a smile.Alessandro glared at him."You asked for it." Tyrion responded, smiling mischievously as he stood up."Think about it." He added as he walked out with his head high and a smirk in his face.The moment Tyrion shut the door, Alessandro's cellphone rang.He walked towards it and picked it up, it
THIRD PERSON'S POVMarco sat in his room pondering on what just happened before Tyrion walked in with a grin."So about my earlier request, which of the restaurants do you want to go to?" Tyrion asked as he sat next to him."Your brother's reaction was a bit weird and unexpected." He said with uttermost confusion on his face."Nah, his reaction was totally normal. Told you I threatened him, and you thought I was joking." Tyrion responded slyly.Marco sat still in silence thinking the possibility of the whole thing."You don't need to worry about that, I told you I will handle it." Tyrion said interrupting his thoughts. "All you have to think about now is the perfect restaurant for our perfect date." He added tapping his head.He touched his hair shyly with a little smile on his face."Look your best." Tyrion added with a wink before he left smiling.Marco smiled a little as he watched him leave, he just can't believe how carefree yet bold a person can be.For some reason, every time h
CARLY'S POVAfter a long time of wallowing in my emotions, thoughts, and wrapping Alessandro's portrait, I decided to get myself a bottle of water.As I headed towards the stairs since I felt like exercising a bit.As I took the last stair towards the kitchen I heard the entrance door open.Lifting my head, I saw Alessandro.He was… His right shoulder was bleeding profusely as he was led towards his room by Sammy and Zane. Then there was Giovanni, who seemed to be shot in his forearm. He was aided by about two guards, I actually don't know their names, but I've seen them around, and they were all followed by Leonardo who held a surgical kit.I immediately rushed to his aid panicking."What… what… what happened?" I stuttered as I helped him the couch.He didn't say a word, he just grunted in obvious pain."Why didn't you take him to the hospital, why did you guys bring him back here?" I yelled in confusion.I can't even tell why him getting shot was stressing me that much.This is not
CARLY'S POVI nervously checked my appearance in the mirror one last time before grabbing my purse and heading out the door. Tonight was the night I had agreed to meet up with Max, the guy I had been texting with online for the past few months.We had chatted online for a very long time now, and it was finally time to take the leap and meet in person. He had suggested going to a popular nightclub in the city, and I didn't even think twice before accepting. I couldn't resist the excitement that bubbled within me.Standing in front of my room door, I arranged my hair one last time. "I'm in college now, even though I still live with my parents, I have the right to go out," I said to myself as I took a deep breath."Relax, this is not your first time sneaking out. You're already a disappointment. What's worse than that?" I added, realizing the fact that no matter what I do, my parents will never be proud.I checked my cellphone for a message from the Uber driver I had ordered earlier on.
CARLY'S POVAs the night wore on, I saw Alessandro leaving the club I'm the company of his body guards and a young beautiful girl, wrapped around his arms like some prized possession.Exactly what I expected from someone like him, well I just pity my Sister who seems to be head over the heels for someone who won't even notice her and even if he does, he won't take her serious."Forget about your family's business, you're here to have fun." I muttered to myself."Hey one more shot." I ordered laughing hysterically.After taking it, I ordered another one."That's enough Carl, you have had enough." Max said taking the cup from me."That's not fun, you're not fun." I said still unable to control my laughter. "You really need to get a hold of yourself Carl." He said holding me tight."Yes, yes I'll." I said trying to focus on one of him."Here have this." Max said giving me a glass of water."Thanks." I managed to say after gulping the full cup.He made me seat next to him and as we sat a
