[ Aitana ]I and Enrique stopped in front of the room no. 07. To say I wasn't nervous as heck, would be a white lie. I was shitting inwardly but I learnt better to hide my emotions. It would be first time since our last meeting when he handed me the mission to kill Alessandro.Robert revealed many dark secrets of my father and I was about to seek my answers for those sins he had committed."Are you ready to go inside, Madame?"Enrique, who actually sensed my nervousness through the facade mask, asked me."Yes, I wasn't this sure in my entire life."I nodded my head firmly.Enrique knocked on the door thrice on the interval of two seconds, I guess it was their pass code to let the person inside the room that it wasn't someone outsider or an enemy.After a couple of minutes, the doors finally creaked open revealing a tall bulky men with a burnt left cheek.He eyed us from top to bottom and nodded his head silently to let us inside."Don't worry Madame, there are only five men in total.We c
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"So, it went well? You came out without a scratch on your beautiful body."I asked my wife who just walked inside the same store room where I had been waiting for her with my hostage."Can we talk about it while we eat. Rats are literally parading inside my starving tummy and please untie this old gentleman and escort him respectfully to his shop."She said in a very normal tone.I craned my neck to glance at old Elaric, whose bulgy eyes were glaring at me murderously."Well, I can release him but latter isn't something I would do. They're working for my biggest enemy currently."I said while untying Elaric."Alessandro...don't be a bitch."She scoffed and the way she sounded very calm, I wondered what sort of conversation she had with Liam Grayson."There's no need for leniency, Miss Grayson. I and Elaric can walk us back to the shop. We were assigned to escort you safely to our Boss and we did our job. I only hope, we'd meet again very soon, have a nice day ahead.
[ Aitana ]"What was that?" I crossed my arms on my chest while confronting my husband for his inappropriate behavior with Maximus, who was the one to behave politely with him.Instead of answering me, he loosened his tie and rolled his sleeves upto his elbows as we walked inside our home after the awkward moment with Maximus."Alessandro, I asked you something so you better answer me rather than fleeing."I grabbed his wrist and stopped him from climbing the stairs."First, I must know in what context you asked me the question, Ana."He rolled his eyes and his intentional playfulness rose my temper a level above."Why did you misbehave with my best friend and acted like a brute high-school boyfriend."I asked him in black and white."Oh so you're talking about that Maxi guy, "He chuckled,"Well, he was touching you in every chance he got. Shouldn't he learn to act properly when a married woman is with her husband. And please don't start with the best friend bullshit because I am not goin
[ Alessandro De Niro ]I felt the strong urge to gut the motherfucker with my bare hands and send his heart as a token of my warning to Edward Whitford. He was not an enemy of the De Niros until he broke my wife's trust and heart but no one escapes after messing up with a De Niro.Aitana had been very quiet since she learnt about Maximus's real name. He used his middle and and adopted a new surname to hide his real identity but his family should better improve this centuries old tricks. This is the age of technology and it's easier to find people by the data of their fingerprints and iris identification. They could fool the Graysons but not us.I decided to leave the bed but the woman sleeping on my chest made it hard for me to disturb her sleep. It's nine in the morning and my assistant had left almost a dozen reminder about an important meeting with Mr. Hall who had done my work and now he wanted to hand over me the papers of permission to start the construction on the land where my
[ Aitana ]The revelation about Maximus's true identity had stuck me like a thunderbolt during a massive storm and the night hours felt like eternity as sleep didn't kiss my burning eyes even for a second until Alessandro said sweet nothings and caressed my hairs.The next day, I woke up to an empty next spot, the solar brightness inside the room indicated that it was around noon and Alessandro had gone to his work place.My prediction was right, the digital watch on my bedside table showed eleven forty in the morning. I slept for good hours, thanks to my caring husband. I felt my head lighter than the last night.Lazily slipping out of the bed, I grabbed my clothes and rushed to the bathroom for a quick shower. I didn't had a mood to go for work. The place holds so many memories with Maximus and going there would only do worse with my mental state.I also skipped work out and promised another hour for the next day for today.By the time, I made my way to the kitchen to grab a strong g
[ Aitana ]The evening rolled in, Alessandro texted me to be ready by seven so he could send someone to pick me up from his way to the venue my brother and he decided on. They kept it a surprise for me knowing how I despise surprises as I am not good at keeping the curiosity poking my guts.I picked a sleeveless champagne red gown with sweetheart neck and a slit on the thigh. The back was also very hollow revealing almost my waist. I was going to receive a good lecture from Alessandro on choosing this dress for a dinner at a public place and I love to tease him. I tied my hairs into a French bun and completed my look with natural make up and pearl jewelries.A knock on the door indicated that he had sent someone to pick me up."Aitana, your carrier is here." Rita's voice came from the other side of the door."Coming in a minute."I replied.With a last glance at my reflection just to ensure I looked fine, I collected my clutch and phone before heading out of my room."You're looking li
[ Aitana ]"Chase?" I narrowed my eyes at my brother for a better explanation, he grinned coyly and looked at his right side where the girl was standing with a perfect smile on her beautiful face."Good evening, Miss Grayson. I know you're wondering that we met before, so yes, your prediction is right. I am a practitioner doctor at the same hospital where you had been treated."She spoke confidently and stretched out her hand for a formal handshake."Dr. Everleigh Walker, am I right?"I shook her hand."Absolutely right and I am your brother's girlfriend."She blinked her eyes but it surprised me while the two men stood there unaffected."So, I am the last person who is introduced to my brother's girlfriend?"I glared at Alessandro."Don't look at me like this, mio bella. Your own brother wanted to introduce his girlfriend to you in person. This double date was his idea so you should better confront him."Alessandro pointed his finger at Chase who looked everywhere but at me."I'll deal wi
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"I am sorry, mio amore. The evening didn't turn out like we planned it for all of us." I held her knuckles and dropped an apology kiss there."I see it differently, my love."She kissed my hands one by one.Her hair locks were waving with the mild cold breeze in the midnight hour of the new year. We were on our most comfortable spot, our rooftop gazing at the firework in the sky.We just bade bye to other friends and tucked a heavily drunk Chase into the bed in our guestroom and now it was only two of us. We partied hard at the club for a couple of hours which helped my best friend to get his mind off from the girl he took seriously for the first time but she turned out to be a gold digger."You always look at the brighter side, Ana and it makes me fall more for you, you know that right?"I pulled her into my arms and laid us down on the cushioned mattress."I wish this new year will bring only happiness for us, Aless. I am tired of this life full of heartache, bet
