Hello beautiful readers! I hope you enjoyed this update. Don't forget to vote! XOXO.
*Alberto’s POV* The knife pierced the air too fast for him to move out of the way on time. I didn’t bother watching the knife meet its target as I withdrew my gun and shot the two assholes on either side of Ventura. A single shot to each in the head was all it took before the others around them raised their guns in response. Edgardo and Aurelio were ready to cover me, but Petrov and his men surrounded Ventura’s before placing their guns to each of their heads. They all lowered their weapons, knowing that they were done for. Ventura grunted before pulling the knife out of his shoulder and turning to glare at me as he dropped the knife to the ground. I took dangerously slow steps towards him as his cut-off words repeated in my mind. Whōre. Whōre. Whōre. Only I can call my angel a whōre, and that’s only when she’s choking on my cōck. But Ventura? Fūcking prick is a scumbag that shouldn’t even breathe the same air as my angel. Grinding my molars, I circled him, ready to slit h
*Alberto’s POV* All it took was a few seconds of distraction for the girl with the knife to charge towards my angel. My heart stilled in my chest as I shouted a warning to Isadora. We are so close. I can’t fūcking lose her now. Or ever. Isadora moved her body sideways just as the girl, who I now recognize as Santoro’s daughter, swung the knife, slashing Isa’s biceps. Blood trickled down my angel’s arm as she glared at the bītch. I instantly raised the gun I was holding higher as I walked further into the room, but I stopped myself from shooting in case Isa made any sudden moves. Reflexively, she gripped her own arm as she lifted her leg, and shoved her heel into the girl’s stomach, knocking her backwards. I was only a few steps away from her by then and was able to catch her before she could fall, dropping my gun in the process. Her breath hitched before her wild eyes raised to meet my dark ones. Ones that were filled with thirst for death and vengeance. Before Santoro’s dau
*Penelope’s POV* Lucio darted the other way as if this was a trained session to stop an enemy from escaping the estate. Of course, I didn’t blame him since he received that training, and had associated Dandelion as a danger within these walls. By the time I had turned the corner, Lucio had snapped his mouth around one of her wrists, teeth piercing her flesh, as he forced her to stop in her place, his warning growls vibrating the hall. “Get him off! Get him off!” she screāmed as she swung her free hand over his head to swat him away. Blood trickled down her arm as I reached for her free arm to stop her from hurting Lucio. It wasn’t his fault that she was a bītch, and there was no way in hell that I would let her touch him again. Before I could wrap my hand around her arm to hold her back, she moved it out of the way, elbowing me right in the face in the process. My free hand rushed to my nose as the pain blinded me momentarily. Shīt, that hurt. Dalmatian 1. Pen 0. Even thou
*Alberto’s POV* I lifted the glass to my lips as I glared through my bedroom window, the fist in my pocket threatening to rip through the material. My mind was in overdrive as I planned. Figuring out the most painful deaths for Ventura and Santoro was at the top of the list. The bitter liquid burned down my throat and didn’t work one bit to control my emotions. My rage, specifically. All I had to do was think about my angel, and my anger doubled. We haven’t talked about it. About what she went through. I’m trying to give her time, and quite frankly, I’m not sure I’m ready to hear it. I’m a fūcking mess as it is. A ticking time bomb. I was lifting my whiskey back to my lips when I heard the water in the bathroom shut off, making me close my eyes as I schooled in my anger. I didn’t want to put more shīt on her as we impatiently waited for the results. I had every intention of having the doctors give me the results right then and there, but they told us it would be at least an h
*Alberto’s POV* My leg bounced up and down as I watched my angel’s chest rise and fall with each breath she took while she slept. It didn’t take her long to fall asleep as soon as her head met my pillow. My dīck twitched at the sight, making me grit my teeth. Now wasn’t the fūcking moment, but I couldn’t help what woke the asshole up and what didn’t. My phone vibrated in my hand, forcing me to look away after staring at her sleeping figure unblinkingly from the moment her body touched the bed. I immediately pressed the answer button on my phone as soon as I saw Ethan’s name. “Che cos’è?” (Italian: What is it?) I answered in a whispered voice as I stood up and moved towards the door. “Capo,” he sighed before clearing his throat. “I’m not sure if now is the time or not, but since you had me—” “Get to the point,” I hissed impatiently as I closed the door behind me and paced the door, already anxious to have eyes on my angel again. “I think I have eyes on Petrov’s sister,” h
*Alberto’s POV* I pulled Isa’s head into my chest and held her there as she slightly trembled in fear of what the doctor had to say. If I said I wasn’t worried myself, I’d be lying. Of course, deep down I’d hate that she would have to carry another man’s child, but my biggest concern would be her. She would completely shut me out. I mean, she’s been doing it for days. And I get it. I really do, but I miss my angel so much. My fearless and bratty angel. “Everything’s going to be alright, angel,” I whispered in her ear, only for her to hear even though I feared that maybe, just maybe it wouldn’t. The doctor cleared her throat as she pulled out an envelope from the pocket in her coat. “Do you want me to read the results, or would you like to read them in privacy?” She asked me with a slight tremble in her voice. There’s no way in hell that I’m letting go of my angel to read those results. “Just read it,” I gritted out as Isa fisted my shirt between us with her free hand. “Oka
*Alberto’s POV* I pressed a soft kiss on her head as I held her tighter while she rocked in my arms. I hated seeing my angel so broken. I wanted those that caused her pain to pay, but I didn’t want to leave her side just yet. The silence between us was driving me just as mad. I didn’t want to push her to talk, but I also couldn’t take it. I needed her to talk to me. “Angel,” I murmured, my arms squeezing her even more. “I’m here. Talk to me.” She continued rocking on my lap and ignoring my pleas. It was like everything that she had held in for the last few days just came crashing down like a train. I lifted one of my hands and wrapped it around the back of her head as I whispered in her ear, hoping that my words would break her out of whatever she was going through. It was literally destroying me to see her like this. I don’t know how long we sat there in each other’s arms, her breaking apart while I tried bringing her back, but eventually her sobs turned into light breathing
*POTENTIAL TRIGGER* *Alberto’s POV* I forced a smile on my face as my angel ate the food I ordered for her. I felt relief that she seemed a lot calmer now, but her words were on repeat in my head. Her confirmation of what I already thought. I fūcking knew Santoro’s son was a prick. It was a gut feeling, and I’m never wrong with my gut feelings. I also had a feeling that Francisco had stormed off to torment the assholes in the basement some more. He was pissed at them, at what happened, but also at himself. I knew him enough to see the regret in his eyes. He’d lost his whole family in the blink of an eye, and he still didn’t have them back even though they were within arm’s reach. So the only way to deal with that was to make those who made us all suffer pay. I didn’t mind him making those assholes bleed as long as he was away from my angel for now. I love my brother, but my angel would always come first. If he ever caused her another breakdown like he did earlier, he’s gone.
