Jordan Miller~•~I didn't know just how big Alessandro's house was. Despite how long I'd been here, I'd never gone through all the rooms. Leonardo offered to give me a tour. I didn't know why he was suddenly being nice to me, but he'd insisted he showed me around because he claimed I needed to know everywhere in the building just in case of anything.I was guessing an example was the break in a week ago.I wanted to argue with him on it, but I realized it could be of help to me. He'd smirked in victory but a glare from me dimmed it."This is the wine cellar," Leonardo said, pushing a door open that was on the ground floor.I was awed by the size of it. There were a lot of cupboards that Leonardo informed me were filled up. It seemed like it was straight out of a Victorian-style movie. "What the hell do you guys need all these for?""There are a lot of men in this house, Jordan." He chuckled. I noticed that he seemed less threatening when he smiled or laughed -something he wasn't ver
Jordan Miller~•~The dresses were for my new job.They were all pretty and wearing them would most likely make men's dick stir, so I definitely wasn't complaining. Alessandro had good taste.It was the night of my first mission and while I was excited, I was still a bit nervous. It was my first time doing anything like this and it definitely didn't help that Alessandro had changed my goal. It was no longer about me memorizing the layout of his penthouse, but I had to keep him distracted and make him send his guards away so they could easily break in. "Aren't you done yet?"I rolled my eyes as I came out of my closet. Alessandro was still in the same spot he'd been when I went in to get ready. On my bed. "Perfection takes time.""You're perfect either way," he replied nonchalantly, lifting his head to take me in. His jaw clenched immediately and his eyes darkened. "No.""No?" I frowned, looking myself over. It was the blue dress and he liked it the day we got it. What was so wrong w
Jordan Miller~•~Getting Alexi under my shackles wasn't a hard task.Well, I hadn't exactly sunk my claws into him, but he'd definitely noticed me and all I had to do was to make eye contact with him every now and then, bite my lips and look down shyly, so yes, it wouldn't be a hard task.I knew Alessandro and his men were somewhere close so I wasn't as anxious."What's a pretty little thing like you doing here all alone?"I wasn't surprised when Alexi finally left the VIP area of the club to approach me. It was high time he did. I sighed exasperatedly with a pout. "I wouldn't have been alone if my school friends hadn't decided to ditch me last minute."Alexi wasn't that bad looking. Rather, he was quite attractive. He was around his early thirties, but he looked as though he was in his early twenties. He had dirty blonde hair that faded into brown and grey eyes.He was putting on a blue dress shirt, and just like mine, the first few buttons were undone, showcasing his toned chest. H
Jordan Miller~•~It was easy to convince Alexi to take me to his penthouse after that. I should've been ashamed to say I was becoming an expert at lying, but I wasn't. I'd told him that I wasn't comfortable with so many people around and he must've detected my panic which was why he believed me without any hassle and now we were in the elevator going up to his penthouse. Phase one, done."You have a fear for crowds yet you came to a club?" Alexi asked curiously. It was stupid when he said it out loud, but I had to make it work. This was harder than I expected though. "When you opened the door, it felt like all eyes were on me. It was frightening," I admitted, acting like I was still shaken up from the attention. "Thanks for getting me out of there."I was making him feel needed because I knew this was something men like him ate up. They loved being needed and they loved playing heroes to damsels in distress. In Alexi's case, a minor in distress."I'd do it again, Princess."'You wo
Alessandro Maurizio~•~In my twenty-three — almost twenty-four — years of life, I was certain I'd apologized to only two people; my Madre and my Padre.I didn't even get to apologize to them much because I didn't give them headaches while growing up. I almost always listened to them, except when it came to training which I didn't take seriously until they were killed by the Lucianos. Then, I had to clean up my act even if there wasn't much to clean and up my game.The word, 'sorry', barely left my mouth. If it did, I was most likely mocking a person before putting a bullet in their eyes or emptying my gun into their skull, but the guilt of putting Jordan in a situation like that was so huge, that I found myself repeatedly apologizing to her and asking her to forgive me.I knew Alexi was dangerous. I knew he could snap her neck in a millisecond, but I knew just how good Jordan's manipulation game was, and if it wasn't for that fucking earpiece, things would've gone according to plan.
Jordan Miller~•~Alessandro eyed me, keeping quiet. That was what I was the most curious about because he hadn't given me any explanations when he demanded I take off my necklace. My first gold necklace. I was mad, but I figured Alessandro had a good reason for it. He wasn't that petty to take it just because he felt like and now I was curious to know why."You said you'd do whatever I asked." I accused him when he still didn't speak. Alessandro sighed, rubbing a hand across his beautiful face. He was in his usual suit — which contrasted greatly with my casual outfit — but somehow, he looked more handsome today. He'd braided his hair and he put the braids in a short ponytail. The hairstyle accentuated his face and the ring on his ear only added to his beauty.I shouldn't be calling a man beautiful, but damn, this man made all things possible.'Focus, Jordan!'"Alessandro!" I whined. I had a feeling he was going to ignore this one and that wasn't part of the plan."Say my name again
Jordan Miller~•~I was officially obsessed. It was worse than when Professor Mark got the gold necklace for me. My finger had been toying with the simple diamond that sat on my neck since it arrived, which was early this morning. Whenever I touched it, it reminded me of Alessandro and his hand on my waist while we were at the shop yesterday.When Alessandro had asked me if I would accompany him to Italy for a few days, he'd failed to tell me that we would be leaving the next day. At least, it was a private jet and the flight was allowed to be delayed.Packing was messy and hasty and the only reason I managed to calm down was that Alessandro promised that whatever I forgot to pack would be bought in Italy.He had a crazy amount of money and if he chose to spend it carelessly, who was I to stop him?"You're awfully bouncy today.""It's my first time traveling on a plane," I admitted and Alessandro looked at me in surprise."Really?""Yup."The take-off was a bit scary, to be honest. Bu
Alessandro Maurizio~•~There was a tracking device in her necklace which was the main reason I bought the set for her; so I could install a tracking device in it.Or at least, that was what I tried to tell myself.I totally didn't buy it because I felt bad for destroying the one that bastard got for her and needed to replace it. It was a win-win situation. She got to get her jewelry and I got to be able to track her whenever I liked. Jordan was unpredictable. I couldn't be sure she wouldn't try to run off on this trip.Honestly, I was just taking a page out of her professor's book. He was an asshole, but he was a smart man and the fact that he had suddenly gone into hiding was proof of that.Boy was I going to take my time killing him. I hated thinking about him. More so, I hated thinking about the fact that he had done stuff with Jordan; that he had 'feelings' for her. I didn't know if that was true or not, but I hated it. I didn't know why, but I suddenly wanted to be the only man
