(Alessio's POV)

Lisa and I came down from the car after we arrived at Salvatore's territory. It took a lot of pressure before I agreed to let her come here.

I had earlier refused her request to meet up with Salvatore, but she kept insisting that she had made a deal with him and wanted to prove to him that she wasn't a weakling like he thought she was.

It was surprising how she was able to learn basic fighting skills in just two months, but I wasn't really happy about what she bargained with Salvatore.

What if she fails?

Well, there was nothing to be afraid of because I would never allow him to touch my woman. I can't win over him in combat, and he can't win over me either.

It would definitely be a bloodshed between us if, by chance, Lisa fails and he tries to kill her.

"Let's go in, Alessio," her voice broke through my thoughts, and I let out a sigh.

If I had a choice, I would have just gone back home with her, but right now, I don't have a choice since it's somehow ha

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Maybe it's fate

    (Lisa's POV) I tried to stop myself from crying, but I couldn't stop my tears no matter how hard I tried. It hurts. It hurts so much, and it's killing me like a slow poison. Five years. Five fucking years. I waited for five years and kept hoping that the universe would give me a second chance to be with Alessio, but it's never going to happen because he's engaged. He made it clear to me that he wasn't going to get married, but he still put a ring on Chloe's finger. The way he kissed her earlier at the restaurant lingered in my mind, and it shattered my heart even more. I was so filled with jealousy when he fed her steak and even kissed her. All those times, I wished it was me. His hurtful words replayed in my head—of me being a backstabber—but they didn't hurt as much as finding out he's already engaged. He's right. I'm a backstabber, a betrayer. I don't mind his painful words. I could take all of it, because I deserve them. What I couldn't accept is him getting married to

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Rip her clothes off

    (Alessio's POV) "What's with the tears, Lisa? Are you alright?" Chloe asked, concern laced in her voice as she went over to Lisa, whose tears were still pouring out like rain. "Yes, I am," she answered, sniffling with a smile. "Then why did you suddenly start crying?" Chloe demanded. "Don't mind me, Chloe. I'm fine," she smiled, but tears spilled out from her eyes again when she looked at me. I wanted to wipe those tears off her face like I used to, but somehow, I decided to keep my cool. I didn't want to act vulnerable after what she did to me. My hands were tucked in my pockets as I pretended I cared less about her tears. "Is she the friend you were talking about?" I asked Chloe, pretending I didn't know her. From her expression, she must've really been hurt by my pretense, but she kept her cool, trying to hold back her tears or Chloe might get suspicious. "Yes. She's beautiful, right?" Chloe smiled at me, unaware that the woman she considered a friend was the reason why I

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Bombshell

    (Alessio's POV) I watched the rain as it hit the window in the hotel suite. It's raining just like Lisa had announced yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about her throughout the night. The way she laughed carefreely with her co-workers lingered in my mind. She seemed happy, as if she had forgotten what she did to me. Why I hid from her is still a mystery I am yet to solve. No matter how hard I think, I can't come up with one specific reason why I hid away from her like I was the one who had done her wrong. I didn't know what she did to me that I can't forget about her or even my feelings for her. I never resented her like I thought I did. Just seeing her face after five years melted all the resentment I had against her. I wanted her back, and I hated myself for craving the woman who almost sent me to my early grave. The ringing of my phone brought me back to reality, and when I looked at the caller, it happened to be Ivan. "What do you want?" I asked after I swiped gree

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Lustful advances

    (Lisa's POV) "That's a pretty name for a pretty lady like you," I complimented her, finding her overwhelming. She laughed and flaunted her hair. "You think so?" she asked in a funny way, and we both laughed. "Yes, you do. You're pretty," I complimented her again. She didn't have California beauty, but she was beautiful. "Thanks for the compliment, Lisa," she sighed. "I wish my fiancé could also say that to me. Do you know he has never complimented my beauty or tell me he loves me?" There was a string of pain in her voice, but she cleared her throat. "I'm saying too much for a first-time meeting, aren't I?" I opened my mouth to say something, but I changed my mind and shook my head. Her fiancé just reminded me of Alessio. He never complimented my beauty, and I only hear him say he loves me once, and it happened because of the situation we were in. "Are you busy?" she asked. "Why?" I muttered, and she sighed again, flipping her hair backward. She was tall. "I came to Ca

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Fallen for her charms

    (Lisa's POV) Laughter erupted throughout the whole restaurant as I ate dinner with my co-workers. At first, I didn't want to join them, but I decided to—at least it's time for me to make more friends and hang out with them like a normal lady would. "I'm glad you joined us for dinner, Lisa. You've always rejected our offer whenever we invited you for dinner, so I guess this is one of our lucky days," Malia said. She had been working in the company way before I did, but this is the first time we would be having a conversation. Don't blame her, blame me—I always tend to avoid chit-chats, but not anymore. "I'm glad I accepted too," I smiled sheepishly, sipping my glass of red wine. We were ten in number and we were all dining in a round table, just like co-workers do. "You were also amazing today, Lisa. Everyone keeps talking about how smooth and breathtaking your voice is," another complimented me and I smiled at him. "Are you guys having dinner without me?" Frederick asked as he ap

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Kiss her

    (Alessio's POV) Chloe and I stepped out of the airport, her hand cuddling over me. Looking around the city where Lisa comes from, it almost smelled like her. I've kidnapped her from this city, but this will be the first time I’d be stepping foot here. "I'm so happy you changed your mind and came here with me, Alessio. We are going to have a wonderful moment together, then once we're back in Rome, we will push through with the wedding," she squealed excitedly, but the scornful look I gave her made her stop smiling. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong to offend you?" she asked. "I make the decision on when we get married, not you. Do I make myself clear?" I declared, and she nodded, smiling again. "You should make the decision on when the wedding will happen. You know better," she beamed at me. A black car stopped in front of us, and two men in tailored suits came out of the car to get our things into the car trunk. We got everything prepared before we embarked on a trip to
