ISABELLA’S POVI woke up with a banging headache.I let out a soft painful groan and forced myself up then I rolled out of bed, walked to the fridge and downed a bottle of water.I tried to remember what has happened the previous night. I don’t remember walking to my room and getting into bed after the party. Had I left before the party was finished?Last I remember was when Mattia had asked me for a dance and later on Dominique asked me for a dance too. To get my thoughts on Alessandro off, I had tried to spice my dance up and gulped a large amount of alcohol.“Oh shit!!” I groaned. Knowing how silly I act when drunk, I fear I might have done something else.I sighed and sat down on my bed. What could I have done this time? Why can’t I remember anything else after that?Well, none of that would matter anymore after today.I walked out of my room to the kitchen where I made breakfast.“It’s breakfast time!!” I walked to their different rooms and woke them. They must be wasted from the
ISABELLA’S POVMy stay at the sauna finally came to an end and I got a small place to stay. A studio apartment. Safe to say it was a bit tiny but then it sure suit me at that moment. I only had a few things and just wanted to live quietly until I could afford a bigger place.Thoughts of him kept on intruding my thoughts. I wondered if he searched for me even a tiny little bit. I wondered if he was eating well and sleeping well. I wondered if he had moved on and like always gave no two shits about me and wherever the hell I was.I sighed and elongated my leg further on the tiny mattress.Oh, I missed that big house of his. I get to be in a big bed and eat whatever I want and with people too. But now I was all alone and even though it itched me to get out there and make a new friend or more, I knew I had to stop myself as this was the worst time to let in someone in my life.Next thing to do, I must find a job. I need as many jobs I could take this time. I hoped no one would recognize m
ALESSANDRO’S POVI have been worried sick ever since Isabella left the house. There wasn’t anywhere I hadn’t searched within the vicinity. I was even more scared she might have gone back to the town. Chief Giovanni could find her and hurt her. It worried me.I regretted not putting a tracker on her. I had never thought she would leave. And she made sure to not leave with the phone I got her. She must have feared I tampered with it.“Boss, I made some food.” Dominique said.Not ready to look pitiful before my men, I kept a straight face whenever they came to me. I couldn’t let them see this vulnerable side of me. It has never been heard of that I, Alessandro Angelo worried about anybody let alone a woman.“I will be there in a bit.” I told him.“Any progress in the search?”“Mattia is still out, he might have something when he returns.”I nodded and waved him to go.The sight of the food reminded me of her. I still hear her voice in the dining table as if she was there. Her laugh that
WRITER’S POVAfter a while, the two finally slowly pulled away.“Are you alright?” His eyes ran down her. Thankfully she didn’t look hurt, at least physically. “Why did you leave? And to this place of all places. Did you really have to leave...?” Ales said, not able to hide his relief and annoyance.“Are you here to scold me?” Isabella finally looked up to meet his face. She searched in his eyes, not sure what she was expecting to see. Maybe eyes different from the one she has always seen him carry. Eye that wanted her as much as she wanted him. Eyes that wasn’t just worried about her safety but to be with her.Alessandro sighed and blew out air. “Let’s go back home. We will talk about this when we get home.” He took her hand to lead her out but she didn’t move. He stopped and turned.“What’s wrong? Do you have to pick anything?” He turned towards Mattia. “Mattia get her things from there...”“Erm, not that. I’m sorry but I can’t come with you. I have to live my life now. Thanks for a
WRITER’S POVThe drive back to Alessandro’s house was a quiet one. With the presence of Mattia in the car, Alessandro tried to maintain a straight face. Isabella could not seem to control the series of thoughts and emotions going on within her. She was happy Alessandro finally mustered the courage to come out of his shell and embrace her love for him. She feared that she was being too excited ignoring the consequences of their love but she had no intention of halting her desire to love this dangerous guy that has completely mesmerized her. She loved him and for now has decided to put away the lingering fear and enjoy their relationship.Alessandro is seated in the front seat with Mattia who was driving. A moment later, he felt a movement through the side of his seat and turned sharply to see what it was.“Shhhhh...” Isabella mouthed to him as their eyes met. She reached for his hand and held it for a while after which she slipped into it something then she flashed him a smile and with
ISABELLA'S POVAfter hours of locking myself up in my room afraid of facing Alessandro again, I got tired and was ready to damn whatever will happen and I finally stepped out of my room. Dominique wasn't still back and Mattia happened to have retired to his room. I stood for a few seconds before Alessandro's door wondering if I should go in or not. Each time I stuck out a finger to knock I see his angry face glaring at me and my hand will automatically shrivel. "Get out!!!" His voice kept re-echoing in my head. No, I can't go in there. I went to Mattia instead. "Errm, could you check up on him…I mean your boss?" He tilted his head and looked at me suspiciously. "Why? I think you are the only person he would like to see now…" he smirked. I sighed, "I doubt…""Why? Did something happen while I was out?"What's the need telling him things he could probably never be able to solve. "Well, just go check on him and see if he is okay." I insisted. "Nope. You should go check if you
WRITER'S POV"Lure him to that table over there…" Lorenzo nodded to the table under the light in the bar downstairs. They had chosen a noisy and busy bar Incase an unexpected events comes up. He felt his revolver sitting pretty well underneath his pants. Whatever game Alessandro might be playing, he will make sure to burst open his skull if he showed his face. The bar has an upper section made for the very important guests. Some played snookers while others drank, smoke and smooched with some skinny looking women. Lorenzo and Tino sat at the far corner where they observed every movement entering and leaving the bar and especially at the table they had kept specially for their unknown guest. Their plan was to make sure it wasn't a trap and then put whoever shows up (the informant) under hostage while watching every of his movement.Lorenzo kept on glancing at his wrist watch. It was already minutes past the time they agreed on with the informant but no one was showing up. "Try that
ALESSANDRO'S POVI opened my eyes to brightness. I felt unusually relaxed. Strange. I had slept longer than I have ever done in my many years on earth since I became a mafia killer. My body felt free and my bones relaxed. Slowly the events of the previous days started to replay in my head.Shit! I remember slipping into my bathtub to have a bath and then dozing off into the bathtub. Voices…yes I heard voices…no, it was one person's voice. Isabella???I remember her lifting me out of the tub and helping me back into the room. Then I remembered yelling at her when she had mentioned my mother. Now that my head felt clearer I felt bad yelling at her. I sighed and forced myself to sit up. "Come in…" I said to whoever it was knocking on my door. I hoped it was Isabella. Then I would get a chance to apologize for yelling at her.Mattia walked in instead. "Boss, you look better than you were two days ago…How do you feel?""Days? How long have I been here?" I asked, shocked. "Two and ma
