(Alessio's POV)

"You won't have to kill anyone, Godfather, because I don't love any woman, and it's always going to remain that way. Like I have always said to you, I'm nothing like my father. I won't ever end up the way he did," I said, with all the assurance I could give. Lisa is just someone I want to keep around me, not someone I love.

"That's good to know. Your father was a disgrace to the DeLuca family," Salvatore said, and that made my anger boil. My dad might not be the strongest man I know, but he was the purest person on earth. The only mistake he made was falling in love with the wrong woman, and with each passing day, I wish she wasn't my mother.

"Don't call my father a disgrace, Godfather. Even if he didn't meet up to the family's expectations, at least he gave his best. I won't tolerate you insulting my dad. He might be dead, but you have no right to insult him, even at his grave," I said, my voice filled with anger. It has always been tradition to respect the Godf

    (Lisa's POV) I stood by Alessio's suite, debating whether I should enter or not. I had been in his suite a couple of times, so I knew exactly where it was located in his house. The only thing hard to find in this place was the exit. I wanted to talk to him—not because I wanted to, but because it was part of my plan. Before coming here, I had been so determined, but standing here at his doorstep, it felt like my courage had been replaced with fear. "You can do this, Lisa. If you want to leave this place, go back to California and to your Dad, you have to do this," I said, exhaling deeply. I raised my hand to knock on the door, and that's when his voice stopped me. "What are you doing?" he asked. I turned to look at him, and there he was, standing a little distance away. He stood tall, his hands tucked in his pockets, like always. "Hi," I faked a smile at him, slowly waving. He walked closer to me, towering over me with his height and build. "You haven't answered my question

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Tamed

    (Alessio's POV) I love the way my touch affects her. I love how my touches send shivers down her spine. It makes me feel like I own every part of her body—she’s mine anyway. From the moment we spent that night together, under each other's skin, she marked herself as mine. No one can touch her except me. No one can kiss her or do crazy things to her body except me. Is this what you call love or lust? I am still yet to understand, but all I know is that she is mine to possess and mine to keep. "Does my touch have a great effect on you?" I asked purposely, my hand sliding further up her thigh, almost reaching her panties. I shouldn't be doing this, but she started it. She suddenly became nice, smiling and seducing me however she pleases—even if she’s unaware that every single thing she does makes me want to kiss her and fuck her. But I do hope she heeded to my advice and isn’t planning to escape again. It’d be dangerous if what I’m thinking is actually going on in her head. When

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Mischievous

    (Lisa's POV) I kept rolling back and forth on the bed, feeling utterly embarrassed. I couldn’t help but scold myself for losing control like that. I didn’t just moan once—I moaned three times. The moment his fingers touched my panties, tracing invisible lines, I couldn’t hold back and moaned his name. Not only did I moan, but my body betrayed me, and I got wet. If he hadn’t stopped, I might have completely lost control and begged him to fuck me—just like he did that night. I covered my face with my hands, groaning inwardly at my weakness. A part of me didn’t want to repeat that night with him, but anytime his hands brushed against my skin, another part of me craved him—yearning for his body to claim mine, just as he did that night. Getting back to my senses, I slapped myself hard—so hard that it stung, leaving my face red with the imprint of my fingers. "Pull yourself together, Lisa!" I scolded myself, glaring at my reflection in the mirror across the room. "You should be the

    (Lisa's POV)"Don Alessio," Isabella said, quickly getting up from the bed and bowing to him. I remained sniffly on the bed, wishing I could go back a few seconds and take back what I just said. I had never been good at interacting with people; all my life, I had always been an introvert who listened to what others said without offering my own opinions. And today, when I decided to come out of my cage, this happened. I was only trying to make Isabella laugh, and with how his eyes were lustfully staring at me, I hoped he didn’t take my words to heart. "What are you still doing here?" His deep baritone voice asked Isabella, who remained standing and bowing to him. I wished Isabella could be brave and stay with me, but I was making an empty wish that could never come to pass. Before I could even blink, Isabella had already found her way out of the room. Now it was just me and Alessio left in the room. I tried not to look at him, but those piercing dark brown eyes of his never left mine

    (Lisa's POV)"Lastly, this is the library," Ivan said to me as we entered. I gasped at the sight; it was huge and filled with so many books. It was bigger and more beautiful than the state library.It's already been three days since I last saw Alessio, and Ivan and Isabella have been doing their best to keep me entertained. Ivan had been showing me around the house, and Alessio wasn't lying when he said there were so many fun things to do inside. Alessio is definitely not normal—who builds a swimming pool inside his house? Aside from that, it also looked like a haunted house; I still can't forget how I got trapped with smoke coming out of nowhere. Ivan didn't show me the dark side of the house; I guess the boss himself must've told him not to.Nevertheless, I couldn't stop myself from admiring how beautiful the library felt. He had taken me to the swimming pool room, game room, gym, and so many more, but this library was my favorite. Maybe it's because I am a lover of books, and it go

    (Alessio's POV) I had left Italy to go to Mumbai because I needed to finish the job that was assigned to me. Louis had given me the details on where he was hiding in Mumbai. I was just waiting for the perfect time to push through with my mission—I’d attack him when he least expected it. I didn’t bring any of my men because handling him was a piece of cake. I would have taken Ivan with me, but I told him he could stay behind and look after Lisa, just in case she needed anything. It had been three days since I last saw Lisa. I wasn’t sure if I missed her, but I had been waiting patiently for Ivan to call me to say she wanted to talk to me. When he didn’t, I decided to call him just so I could speak to her. I didn’t know why, but not hearing her voice and seeing her beautiful face for three days felt like an important part of me was missing. “Boss, Alessio wants to speak to you,” I could hear Ivan say from the other side of the phone after I instructed him to give the phone to her.

    (Alessio's POV) Arriving at the nightclub, it was filled with so many people dancing to the beat of an Indian hip-hop song. I spotted Diego, who was surrounded by ladies in the VIP area. I approached him and sat down in one of the chairs. Diego, who had been sucking on a lady's nipples, stopped and looked at me. "You don't look like an India" he said. "You must be Diego," I said in Italian, which made him smile. "Whoa! You're from my home country. What brings you to Mumbai?" he asked, still smiling. I guessed he was unaware of who I was; otherwise, he would have been trembling at the sight of me. If only he knew today would be his last on Earth, he wouldn't be smiling at me. "Business," I said curtly. I couldn't let him know I had come here to kill him; I wanted him to be taken by surprise. He wouldn't know what hit him. "Nice meeting you," he stretched out his hand to shake mine, but I merely gave him a cold look. I was still Don Alessio DeLuca, regardless of where I wa

    (Lisa's POV) I sat down on the bed, exhausted from reading so many books in just a few hours. Isabella had left after I told her I needed to be alone. She didn’t argue and left so she wouldn’t get on Alessio’s bad side. Lying on the bed, counting the lights on the ceiling, my thoughts drifted to Alessio. It had been four days since he left, and I wondered when he would be back. It's not like I missed him, but I was just used to seeing his face every single day. I sighed in frustration, wondering where the exit of his house might be. Ivan had shown me around, but there were no place that looked like they led outside. I had been brought here while I was unconscious, which was probably why I hadn’t figured it out. Should I interact with the maids? I was sure they knew where the exit was since they were brought in by Alessio. But what if they chose to keep it a secret, like Ivan and Isabella? I don't believe Isabella; it was impossible for her not to know where the exit was. She must h

    (Lisa's POV) I went back to the head teacher's office with Alessia, and Kayla's mom smirked at me, her arms crossed. "Are you here to finally kneel before me?" she asked, her voice laced with pride. My anger was burning, but I was trying my best to stay calm, and it was all for Alessia. "I thought this was a preschool where kids are brought up in love, without anyone being treated unfairly." "What are you talking about, Ms. Simpsons? You should be apologizing, not telling us how to handle this school. We treat every kid equally," the head teacher said, while Kayla's mom blew air onto her manicured nails, awaiting an apology that would never come. "You call this treating every kid here equally?" I fumed, showing them the bitten wound on Alessia's wrist. "Kayla was the one who bit my daughter first, and rather than handling the situation equally, you pinned the blame on my daughter!" I snapped at Alessia's teacher. Being a mother has really changed me a lot. I was no longer the

    (Lisa's POV) "Thank you so much, mister!" I thanked the repairman with so much excitement in my voice after he handed the phone to me. "It wasn't easy to bring it back to life, but I'm glad I did," he said, smiling back at me. I grinned at him, placing the phone on my chest with a broad smile. "The phone must be of sentimental value to you, right?" he asked, and I nodded with a smile. "Was it given to you by your boyfriend?" he teased, but I covered his question with a laugh. I paid him for his service before leaving. The excitement inside of me didn’t leave my face for even a second. I was just so happy to have the phone back to life. Returning home, I sat on the sofa, watching the videos of Alessio from five years ago. It’s been five years, but I never get tired of watching him. I was addicted to watching the videos of him, and anytime I did, I always had this sad smile on my face. Oftentimes, I wondered how life would have been for the both of us if I hadn’t betrayed

    (Alessio's POV) It's her birthday today… it's something I can't forget, since everything about her was stuck in my brain like a tattoo. If she were here, we'd be celebrating her birthday, but I don't want her to be here, neither do I want to see her. Five years have passed, but the pain still lingers as if everything had happened yesterday. Her betrayal is still intact, and the pain she inflicted on me when she betrayed me is still fresh. It's like it never heals no matter how much time has passed, and it only makes me burn in fury. Do I still hate her? That I can't really tell, but one thing is for sure, I never want to see her face again. It would only remind me of how much of a fool I was for falling in love with a woman like her. She took my love for her for granted. Even when I didn't tell her how much I loved her five years ago, I did say it so many times through my actions and the way I treated her differently. I never want to see her face. She and my mom are

    (Lisa's POV) "I think it's best if you get a new phone, Miss," the phone repairman advised, but I shook my head in disagreement. It was my very first gift from Alessio, and I couldn't let go of it. It's been five years since I last saw Alessio. Five years, but nothing seems to have changed. The feelings I have for him was still there like it was just yesterday, but my betrayal toward him still haunts me in my quiet moments. Every day I long for him—for his smile, for his touch, and to hear the way he talks. But I was scared... scared to reach out to him and most especially scared to go to Italy. I knew I could easily see him if I went to Italy, but the deadly warnings he gave me before we separated were still fresh in my ears, so I couldn't dare go back to Italy even if I desperately longed to. The only thing that was left with me were the memories of my life with him, before my unforgettable betrayal. "You need to try your best. The phone is important to me, and it's not so

    (Lisa's POV) "It's been a while, Lisa. How have you been?" Nathan asked me with a smile. I furrowed my brows at him, wondering if he had forgotten what he did to me, but nevertheless, I beamed a smile at him. If he hadn't shattered my heart, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to know a man like Alessio. "I've been good. What about you?" I asked, trying my best to be formal. There was no reason to be informal with him. "I've been good too. Where have you been all this while? I constantly go to your workplace, but all what your boss keep saying is that you're on a business trip. I couldn't go to your dad, because you must've told him what I did to you." "Exactly, Nathan. I'm glad you still remember what you did to me. So why do you keep going to my boss asking about me?" I asked sharply. "It's because I miss you, Lisa," he murmured, and I chuckled, finding his words so funny. "You miss me? What about the woman you were with? Didn't she sponsor your business like you claimed

  • In The Arms Of A Mafia Boss    Like a bubble

    (Lisa's POV) I betrayed the man I love and the man who loves me, and no matter what my reasons were, it wasn't justified. I had a chance to ask him about it, but rather than confronting him, I acted rashly. He lost everything. A lot of innocent souls died because of me, and it's best if I leave. If he had wanted to kill me, I would have accepted it, but since he wanted me out of his life, I will do as he says, even though it hurts being separated from him. Staring at the entrance of the airport, my tears fell down my cheeks, but I wiped them off with a sob. With the despicable thing I have done, I don't know if I could live a normal life. I will forever be haunted for betraying him and for killing innocent souls. I sniffled one last time. I made to enter the airport, but I bumped into someone. "I'm sorry," I managed to say, but fresh tears fell from my eyes and down to my cheeks when I saw I had bumped into Angelo. "Angelo," I said, nearly breaking into tears. I had

    (Alessio's POV) "How long have I been unconscious?" I asked. "For a few days," Ivan answered. I sighed, trying to sit up on the bed, but Ivan quickly stopped me from doing so. "You shouldn't do that yet. Your wounds are still fresh," he said, but I ignored him and sat up on the bed, enduring the pain. Every part of my body was filled with injuries. It hurt and itched at the same time. "Where's Salvatore?" "He left a few minutes before you woke up," Ivan replied. "Is it true that Enzo destroyed everything, including my house and the clan?" Ivan looked at me and sadly nodded his head. "We lost the mobsters at the clan. The innocent maids also died from the explosion." "No single person survived?" I asked, hiding how bad I felt. "No one, Boss Alessio. We have nothing left," Ivan answered, wiping his tears, as he was too emotional to control them. I failed to protect my men. If I hadn't been trapped under Enzo's custody, none of this would have happened. "Aren’

    (Writer's POV) "What did I just hear you just say? You gave who to who?" Salvatore sneered. He had booked an early flight to Rome so he could know the happenings of the clan, only for him to meet dead monsters and a destroyed clan. Lisa took in her lips, unable to say anything. Salvatore had always said she'd betray Alessio, and she felt so embarrassed because his instinct came to pass. She betrayed the man who loves her. A man who always showed up whenever she was in danger. She made a promise… but couldn't keep her promise. She was just like his mother. "Have your tongue been cut off? Repeat what you just said!" he snapped at her, and tears strolled down her eyes. No matter how much she cried, it wouldn't justify what she had done. "I didn't mean to betray him," she began sobbing. "I thought he killed my dad, so I gave him an apple injected with succinylcholine. He became weak because of it, and Enzo was able to trap him. Enzo has him in his custody and it's all

    (Writer's POV) "Did Don Alessio answer the phone?" Isabella asked Ivan in a panicked voice, while Ivan shook his head with a sigh. "Why would Lisa even think of leaving the house?" Isabella murmured, her worries palpable. She had earlier gone to Lisa's room to talk to her, only to find out she wasn't in her room. When she got worried, she asked Ivan for help, and he looked into the surveillance cameras and they both found out that Lisa had sneaked out of the house by secretly entering the car trunk of Alessio's car. "Do you think Don Alessio has seen her already?" "I don't think so, Isabella. It's unlike him not to answer the phone either. Something seems off and I can feel it," Ivan muttered. Isabella swiped her hand through her hair in frustration. "Why can't Lisa just believe that Vanessa was indeed a spy?" "Asking questions won't do. If Alessio still doesn't know she's not in the house, then we should find her before he does." Isabella nodded, and just as they were about t
