Angelo"So you're going show up in there, and you think it's a good idea?" Kelvin spoke up breaking the silence that had lingered in the car. We arrived at the location but I suddenly couldn't bring myself to get out of the car. Different thoughts ran through my mind while coming here. I had even pictured how I would punch him in the guts if he tried do to anything silly with Alessia.However, now that I have the chance to do that. I suddenly felt weak. At some point, Kelvin was right. What will it make me if I show up there? I will look like a coward. Yes, you are one. You will just look more stupid. A voice in my head rang. I hit the back of the chair, getting Kelvin to look at me. "Are you going inside or should I turn the car around?" Just when I was about to tell him to turn the car, a notification popped up on my phone. The visible face of Alessia laughing holding her mouth with her palms. The fuck.I was out of the car in no time, darting through the entrance of the five-star

Alessia Angelo's eyes were fixed on me for a longer time before he averted it and walked away. My heart wasn't beating only because of the way Ryan was caging me but also of the way Angelo looked at me. He didn't give much expression. I was snapped back by Ryan's deep voice straight in my ears. "Never had a handsome man cage you in his arms before?" A smirk was plastered on his lips. I used my palm to push him a bit away from me. "Um...so you own this place?" I decided to start a conversation but my eyes didn't fail to glance around for a sign of Angelo. Ryan stuffed his hands inside his pocket. Should I say the posture adds more charm to his beauty? "Yes. So, you're free to pick anything you want."Was he trying to brag? The amused smile on his face was enough to tell how much pride he had. I formed my lips into a thin line. "Thank you for the offer but I don't think I need anything.""Says who?" Annie chirped in. She threw me a glare before grinning at Ryan. I didn't fail to noti

Alessia"Can you let go of me?" I tried to free myself from his hold as he dragged me to an unfamiliar lobby. He didn't stop until he reached where he wanted to stop. "What the hell do you think you're doing!" "Why are you here?" He dropped down his question instead. Anyone who sees the expression on his face could tell he was angry. But the truth was, I should be the one to be angry. Because who the fuck did he think he is to waltz there and take me away amid people."I should be the one to ask you why did you bring me here? And what does my coming here have anything to do with you?" I spat. I saw him close his eyes and opened them again. "Don't try my patience, Alessia. This place isn't for you."I didn't resist chuckling at his outburst. "Wow. So because I introduced you as my brother to Ryan, you think you can give me orders? Do you think you can tell me where to go and where not to? I'm here for work, Angelo. I don't care about the danger or risk of it. I'm here because of work.

AlessiaI know for a fact that if I come face to face with Angelo, it won't end well. Up to the moment I stepped inside the house, my chest was beating. With rage. I was greeted by the presence of the guys and Lilian. "Alessia? What are you doing here at this hour?" Marco the ever big mouth was the first to speak up. However, the look on my face was enough to show them I wasn't in a good mood. I didn't even bother to ask where Angelo was. I had already worn my armor to fight him. It's either I mess him up or he messes me up. There would be no way around it.I stormed upstairs, straight to his study room, and kicked it open with my foot. Three pairs of eyes greeted me. Angelo's and that of two unfamiliar men dressed in black suits. There was no doubt they were having a meeting but even that wasn't an excuse to stop me. I marched to his desk, standing in between the two men."Who the hell do you think you are?" I started. Angelo's brows creased but he didn't let his guard down. "As you

One month later AlessiaI hummed to the soft beat rising in the room as I blow dry my hair. Recently I had gotten attached to a particular song I came across on a TikTok viral video. Since then, I have been playing it on repeat. In the morning when I'm doing my morning routine and in the night when I'm working. It had been going on that way. It irritates Ryan to the core that whenever he comes to my room, he covers up his ears but now he is already used that he doesn't show a sign of irritation whenever I play the song.The real reason behind my attachment was because the song speaks a lot about me. I felt like I could relate to the artist. It was a way of hiding my inner feelings.A knock sounded on the door. I didn't bother to look at the person stepping in knowing it would be the housekeeper, Nikita. However, the clearing of the familiar voice made me look at the door to see Ryan standing hands stuffed inside his pocket with a sly smile on his face."Wow. You don't even give notic
