Natalia's P.O.V
"And here we are right now," I said, after explaining the events that had happened since my brother was in his coma.
"I knew you and Alessandro would be an item." I rolled my eyes, trying my best to keep a smile off my face.
"We aren't an item, it's just sex."
"He'll want more if you still haven't realised. You have his attention and you could possibly get his heart." Andrey stated, I wondered if he could be right? Was I ready for that? Did I really want Alessandro?
"You just woke up from a coma and you're acting like my therapist." He chuckled. "And this thing with Eric will blow over."
"And if it
- Chapter 25: Already & Broke - It wasthe next day, I had woken up early since I was extremely excited about the date, though I would never let Alessandro know that, I could already picture his smug smile if he did. Because I had a lot of time before the date I decided to work out with Alessia. "-So then he proceeded to hit him-" I halted her sentence to ask a question. "Wait because he accidentally walked into you?" She nodded, rolling her eyes as she threw punches at the punching bag, I made sure to hold it with a firm grip.
- Chapter 26: Maria & Twin - Natalia's P.O.V I entered Alessandro's room, seeing him on the wooden floor with a blanket filled with food, the windows were opened allowing a good amount of sunlight to be at his disposal. I smiled showing my amusement at the image in front of me. He held out his hand for me to hold, which I did. He brought me down on the blanket beside him. "This isn't exactly how I imagined our first date to be." He joked earning a small chuckle from me. "It's perfect in its own way," I told him, eyes scanning the different types of food on the blanket, the heat that came off the pie told me it was fresh out of the oven. "Do you want to try it?" I nodded watching as he took a piece of the pie, bringing it to my lips. I gentle bit into it. I had to admit it was amazing, the slightly hot jam that was hidden in the pie slipped into my m

FLASHBACK (ALESSANDRO'S P.O.V) "Alessandro Anderson?! How are you? I haven't seen you since you were a child, how's your father?" A black man asked whose hair reminded me of my dark eyes, but he had hints of greys that said he was in his late 40's or 50's. "I'm sorry, but I can't seem to remember your name," I informed him, making him frown as I took two glasses of wine, which were on a silver tray that a waiter held. I handed him one, changing his frown to a smile, "Mandla Jones, it's-" He halted his sentence as his eyes went to the entrance, I raised a brow, confused as he wasn't the only one who had their attention at the door. I followed his gaze, my
- Chapter 28: Sleep & Logs - Natalia's P.O.V A few days had passed since the date, I had to admit I missed Alessandro, he was currently in Italy securing a deal of some sort. "Natalia, are you listening to me?" I nodded, lying. Andrey rolled his eyes knowing it wasn't the truth. "Alessandro left for a few days and you've become lovesick already?" Andrey inquired, a smirk on his lips as I sat around my office, reviewing the caller log from the man who had I found searching my room, his name was Vinnie. "I'm not lovesick. I'm trying to focus on the caller log." He stayed silently, looking down at the caller log sheet I had given earlier, deciding not to tease me further which I was grateful for. My eyes scanned the logs, looking for a recurring number, which took a while since there were many numbers. "Natalia, check this out." I stood w
- Chapter 29: Meet & Very - Natalia's P.O.V "Are you nervous?" Alessandro inquired leaning against the closet door as he watched me change into my silk black dress. I nodded slightly as I pulled the spaghetti straps up. "A little bit, but I'll be fine." "I can cancel on them if you want." I shook my head turning to him as I took some black heels off the shelf in the closet. "You don't want your girlfriend to make a bad impression because you cancelled, do you?" When I said this, he grinned like a madman, making me confused as I walked towards him. "What's with the face?" "You said you're my girlfriend." I smiled softly, "Aren't I?" He nodded keeping the same bright grin. "I just like hearing you say it." Alessandro leaned into my lips, bringing me into a soft kiss. His hands held my waist, steadying my body as our lips moved together. I felt a
- Chapter 30: Apologize & Press - Natalia P.O.V My eyes slowly fluttered open feeling a strong arm being removed from my waist, my tired vision soon made out Alessandro's face. "Good morning." He greeted softly, I smiled softly closing my eyes once again. "Morning," I muttered tiredly. I felt him move off the bed, making me frown. "Where are you going?" "I have some work to deal with, but I promise I'll be back later." He told me as I opened my eyes once again. "Give me a kiss." He grinned leaning down to my lips, kissing me tenderly even though the kiss didn't last 10 seconds, the feelings it gave never left. "I'll see you later." I watched as he quickly changed into the clothes he wore last night before leaving. I sighed deciding to take a shower and brush my teeth, before going back to bed since I didn't h
- Chapter 31: Frustration & Club - Natalia P.O.V I closed my room door, turning to Alessia. "What took you so long?" She asked, I shrugged fixing my hair. "I was doing something." "By 'something' you mean my brother." Alessia joked I chuckled, quickly changing the topic. "Why did you come looking for me?" She shrugged when I asked this. "I was bored and had nothing to do since my brother spends most of his free time with you, which was a good thing at first then I began to miss him, but don't let him know that." I grinned amused, knowing exactly how that felt. "The real reason I'm here is that I need an outfit for tomorrow night." She informed me. "For?" I asked as we went to Alessia's room. "For the afterparty of your catwalk," Alessia said as we walked inside the room going into her closet. I gasp
- Chapter 32: R & Predictions - Natalia's P.O.V "Your Mother." I heard at the other side of the door, with a sigh I opened the door. "Come in." And she did. Nicole walked in, her hands filled with different dresses as I closed the door. My mother took in my appearance raising a brow. "Are you ok? You seem a little frightened." She stated, I looked down at the note for a quick second before meeting her eyes once again. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just received another note from the R person." She looked at me expectantly. "Well don't just stand there, what did it say?" I handed her the note that was in my hands. Nicole's eyes skimmed over the little piece of paper. "What do you think it means?" She questioned. "Well, my first guess is she is probably going to do something to Alessandro to hurt
