His Salvation Chapter Forty One
Manhattan, New York Draken "I need to see my little sister. Today." Alessandra's voice was calm despite our little dining room exchange. I had been unable to hold myself back, control the desire that seared through my veins when I saw her; every single moment I think of the woman before me, let alone being in the same room with her leaves my mind clouded with desire. She stood at the threshold of the main door, looking absolutely stunning, enough to take my breath away. Her defiance was palpable in the air, lurking beneath those enchanting blue eyes. Eyes that still haunt my dreams every night, more so now that she lies next to me. From the little mole underneath her left eye to the small crease on her brow whenever she was angling for a fight, her body had become an open book, revealing the storm before it washed all of us away. Her mind was still a vault but not for long. I had to admire her resolve. She was proving to be more interesting as time goes by, more so now that I kn

*** Lower Manhattan, New York Alessandra "Holy shit! I missed you so much, sorella! I missed this! Being grounded without you has been literal TORTURE! And Mama isn't necessarily the best company when all she seems to watch is soap operas all damn day when she's not being her husband's 'prim and proper wife'. God, its been so annoying!" "Papa cut my house arrest short because of my engagement ceremony coming up but he still insisted on having his goons follow me around like some kind of criminal, damn him!" Vittoria complained, her words slightly slurred from the five cocktails she had downed so far. She glanced at our family bodyguards, her frown ever present as she glared at one of them who was quick to look away. He knew better than to mess with her. The two of us had grown quite the reputation among our father's men not just for our stubbornness and antics but for the intense training we had gone through. Rumors had floated around of our combat abilities and although none of

*** Upper East Side, New York Draken " The Colombian still hasn't made a move, it seems. He's gone underground, probably gathering support to hit back or something. A futile and stupid endeavor." Rowan commented, shaking his head in what seemed like true exasperation as he thought of Pablo Adrien Hernandez's attempts to defy us. The thought of the man still managed to irritate the shit out of me. He was inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, nothing but a nuisance in the background of my plans. I had anticipated that his greed and need for power would become somewhat of a problem when I dealt with Diego. Their shady business dealings had been within the dossier I compiled on the man who had been somewhat involved in my father's accident. Yes, the Moreno family had participated in the conspiracy that threatened to break my family. A gathering of the underworld's worst had come together to create a plan to take down my family and take our spot at the top of the food chain.

*** Upper East Side, Manhattan Alessandra "Are you serious? I can really have anything I want?" Tori asked for the umpteenth time, her wide grin and wild, excited look in her eyes making me chuckle in absolute amusement. I was not surprised by her reaction. Like me, she was a shopping fanatic and having her pick anything she wanted from the Designer store we were now in was like a dream come true. It was not that our father did not possess the money or the means to provide us with everything we could ever want. It was that he was highly restrictive- which is honestly the only form of normal parenting we ever got from him and mama. We had allowances and although it was substantial, it was certainly not enough for the things we really wanted to purchase. Unless it's weapons...now that was a purchase Papa could get behind, the maniac... But everything changed after my marriage. Now, I had some semblance of freedom to purchase whatever I wanted using the credit card availed to Vladm

***Manhattan, New YorkAlessandra"I had a night terror, Tori. I just had to have a nightmare in front of him and he took care of me! I showed him one of my biggest weaknesses and now, I don't know how to fix it. I mean, I got the usual weird stares from his staff- some of whom I am sure HATE me- but he said nothing. Who knows what the hell he is planning."I shouted over the music to my little sister who instantly pulled me in for a warm hug that I tried hard not to relate to the one He had given me last night. She understood the implications of such a revelation to the man I was trying to save us from.A man who was clearly capable of more than we gave him credit for...A true Mafia Made Man like everyone else around us..."It's going to be okay, sorella. He may have witnessed that side of you but he doesn't know everything. He can't use it against you."Tori tried to reason and comfort me but I knew well enough- as she did too- that the Russian Made Man was more intuitive and intel

***Manhattan, New YorkAlessandraHis gaze was fixated on the cowed college kid before us, never straying away from him despite my pleading gaze. The college kid, on the other hand, seemed to be rooted in the spot from the death glare that my husband was granting him. It was unsettling all those around us, the tense energy seemingly permeating through the haze of alcohol and euphoria."Draken..."I began, hoping and praying I could somehow get through to my breathtakingly handsome husband who towered over me, his blank features revealing nothing. His eyes, though. The emeralds that shone brighter than any diamond were raging, swirling with anger that threatened to suffocate those around us. Looking at them any longer had me worried, scared that I would drown in them too."Take him."He directed the words towards the two men who had appeared behind the scared college kid, their hulking forms instantly grabbing the kid who began to struggle but instantly froze once one of them seemed t
His Salvation Chapter Forty Seven
***Manhattan, New YorkDrakenMy wife's hand shook in my grasp as we made our way through my club. Receiving Vlad's report had been unsurprising, to say the least. Knowing what I did about Alessandra and her sister, Vittoria, I was aware of the possibility of their rebellion. The possibility that she would defy me and do this exact same thing. Which was why I had them sent to my club. My territory.Unlike her father, I do not mind her exeats. She deserves all the freedom she can get after a life of captivity. She deserves to be happy...But not in the arms of another man.Never in the arms of an idiotic child who knows Nothing of the despair I was about to rain down on him.The sight of his arms around her still lingered in my mind, fueling my rage even more. It had taken everything to restrain myself, to watch her reaction to the disrespectful advance. I could feel Keisuke, Rowan and Ioann's gazes on me. Kei's presence after my call confirmed quite a lot about his intentions in our
His Salvation Chapter Forty Eight
***Manhattan, New YorkAlessandraI can't believe I'm really doing this...I really have lost my damn mind...I murmured within, over and over again as Draken led me down the hallway, away from his office and into a larger room. This place was more secluded, dim red lighting within that gave the place a more sensual air. The poles surrounding the room alerted me instantly to the main use of the space. "The other rooms are currently...occupied. But I do believe this would be more than sufficient?"Draken's voice against my ear sent a pleasant shiver through me, an emotion I tried and failed to hide. I knew I should be repulsed by what he is asking of me. The excitement in his eyes when I lost my damn mind and agreed to torture a man just so I could save him. He seemed more attracted to me than I had ever seen.And all I had to do to get him going is tell him I'll torture a man... Dio. This is insane..."If the dancers don't mind then yes...this will be fine. It won't take that long."
