Gianna Marino

I pressed myself into the corner of the large, extravagant room, knees tucked against my chest, trying to steady my breath.

The door swung open without warning.

Alessio walked in.

Gone was the man who looked at me softly at the bar, the man who had held me from falling twice. This man was furious. His rage filled the room even before he said a word.

"Was this part of your big plan?" he asked coldly, and I wanted to respond—say something, anything—but the warning echoed in my head

    Gianna MarinoI was glad the duo let me pass without giving me a tough time. Coming back to another drama was a luxury I couldn't afford. I'd already pictured myself getting a hot bath and getting all cuddled up in my sheets when his voice startled me. “Wh.. What do you want?” I cursed myself mentally for the stutter. “The last I checked, your office closes by six in the evening. Care to explain why you have been coming back late these days?” He placed his hands on his waists. Waiting for me to answer. “I just need some space outside work.” I replied with a cold voice. Just leave me alone! “You do know that walking around carefree is reckless and stupid. There are many people looking for you and the only reason they haven't gotten to you is because of who I am.”“If you put yourself in harm's way, you'll be giving yourself to them on a platter.” I don't think it's me, I think Alessio has developed the habit of nagging me recently. He doesn't know how it irks me to hear him re

    Alessio GiordanoEverywhere fell silent for a few seconds. I'd met Alpha Don on a few occasions but I'd never seen this expression on his face before. He was taken aback by the word. Matteo was lost, I'd been making him lost these days. “I don't know what you are talking about.” Don replied. “Your face says otherwise.” I countered. He raised his jaw. “If you have nothing important to say, you can leave my office now. I have work to do.” He returned his gaze to his system. “I know you weren't involved in whatever happened there and I know you want to find out what happened that night.” He glanced up from his screen. “Believe it or not,” I continued. “We want the same thing.” Matteo's face was a mixture of different expressions. “Did you come to give me information? Or you came here to tell me things I already know?” He asked after keeping silent for a couple seconds. “What do you know about that meeting? You were supposed to attend too but you suddenly backed out. Why?” He s

    Alessio Giordano“They are all working with other Alphas from other packs. This is not a one man plan.” Matteo placed a bunch of files on my table and sat himself down. “Were you discreet enough?” My main concern was making sure Gianna never found out what I did. “Yes. No one saw me walk in Oregon out.” “Good. Go on.”“They are all involved in other shady deals. Trafficking, slave trade, hard drugs, same old same old. But nothing is linked to the death of her father. There are no whispers about it either.”“That's strange.” “Exactly what I thought.” Matteo sat up. “You see, whenever anything happens among the Alphas, there must be rumors. But everyone is quiet about this particular case. It's as though they don't want to talk about it.”I pressed my fingers against my jaw. “It means they're hiding something.” I put two and two together. The pack was awfully quiet after his death was announced. I wondered why too but didn't want to butt into the business of the supposedly grievin

    Gianna MarinoI could feel my neck burning. The sensation was everywhere, even on my cheek and I hated it. How can someone be so unpredictable? A few hours earlier, Alessio got me so pissed at him I wished I could do something that would effectively humiliate him. And now, a few hours later, he's making me hot and making my stomach uneasy. “Are you sure you want to lead the way?” His annoyingly sweet deep voice called after me but I didn't turn. I didn't trust that my cheeks hadn't turned cherry red from the way I was feeling. In my clumsy attempt to keep my distance from him, I didn't look up in time and bumped my head into someone's chest. It was firm so I was sure it was a male's. I finally looked up with a questionable expression. “Uhmm.. Sorry…”“Where's your pass?” The guard who was manning the entrance asked with a frown. I wanted to speak but then I realized my mouth had been open all the while, the words just weren't coming out. “She's with me.” Alessio replied from

    Alessio Giordano“She's here now, I kept her busy with some work. Get down to work.” Was my reply to Matteo who informed me that he had gotten to Gianna’s office. I'd sent him to her father's company after I discovered the paper on her bed last nightI figured she found it at the office and if she did, then there had to be more information there. “Don't you think she'll be angry and suspicious of the sudden change of plans?”Matteo was meticulous. He could find even the hardest things and decipher all kinds of codes so I trusted he would bring back a positive update by the end of the day. “I communicated the perks and especially the downsides of working with me to her before she started and she promised to do anything just to stay under my roof. If she complains, all I have to do is remind her that she agreed to it herself.”Matteo said something in response to what I said but I didn't hear what he said because Gianna barged into my office with the files I'd given her to work on.

    Gianna MarinoAlessio Giordano was a rude and prideful jerk who loved to remind people that he was in charge and could do whatever he pleased.Earlier, while he caught me in my late coming, he seemed to enjoy the fact that I'd come late and he knew that I'd be late.Why else would he tell the receptionist to direct me to his office the second I get there?The volume of projects I had to review sitting on my table when I walked in almost drove me to tears.How did he expect me to finish all this before lunch break? "Urgghhh..." I groaned in frustration as I settled in my chair and dragged a palm down my face.I took a glance at one of the files and my anger skyrocketed. These dates have already been treated. "Did he give me files I've already worked on?" I stood up at once taking all the files with me. I didn't bother to check the remaining files. I was convinced beyond every reasonable doubt that I'd handled all these files and he just wanted to be a prick."Excuse me sir," I didn't

    Alessio Giordano "I'm sorry Alessio, we missed him again." Dante, my Beta informed walking into my office after another futile search for the spy."How did you miss it again?!" I groaned with anger.Dante paused and gestured with his hands."Calm down. You don't have to let the beast take over. We

The guests will be arriving soon and nothing looks ready," Beatrice snapped, with a scowl as I hurried back to the hall to double-check the arrangements.That day was my twenty-first birthday but Beatrice thought it best to make a special announcement
