Chapter 14Alessia’s POVWhen I got out of the shower and dried myself, I put on white underwear, sweatpants, and a black crop top. I walk over to my bed and think about what happened. I can't get the images out of my head. The bloodied bodies, gunshots, and gurgles of the man.The door opened and I saw Johnny enter. "Sorry for disturbing you." He said this as he closed the door behind him."I want to ask you something." He said he was looking me straight in the eyes."What do you want to know?" I asked him."Do you perhaps know a person called Dima Volkov?" I looked at him, trying to think if I heard that name before."No, I have never heard of him before; why do you ask?"He frowned, "Because when we looked you up, we came across your biological father's name." This time, I frowned. "My father?" "Yes," Johnny said, looking me in the eyes."I have never heard his name; my mother wouldn't talk about him whenever I asked about him," I explained."We'll look like your father was second
Chapter 15Alessia's POVI was busy painting when someone walked through the door. I looked up and saw Samuele."Hey, lunch is almost ready, and the girls are on their way." I heard him say. I put my paintbrush down and turned around."Thank you; I just want to wash up, then I will go down." I smile at him, but he doesn't look at me; instead, he is looking at my painting."Is that me? you're painting?" He asked with administration clearly in his voice."Yeah, I'm sorry for not asking you first," I said, looking down at my hands."No, it's not that; I didn't know you could paint this well." I looked up at him and saw him smile."Thank you. I have been painting ever since I can remember."."I love it; now let's get going before the others come and drag us down.""So who are the girls?" I asked as we walked to my room."They are the assassins of our gang; they are nice, but don't mess with them. There are three of them: Isabella, Vittoria, and Camilla." I nodded and went inside my room, q
Chapter 16Alessia's POVOnce I got out of the shower, I got into a long, strapless dark blue dress with diamond details at the bust. The dress has a long slit that goes up to my mid-thigh and some blue heels with diamond details as well. I dried my hair and left it in its wavy state. My makeup was light and simple. I just applied some mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss.I walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs, only to be met by Johnny, Stefano, Samuele, Luca, and Ciro, all in black suits.They clean up nicely. Johnny looked up when the others stopped talking and looked at me, letting his eyes wander my body up and down. All eyes stopped at my exposed breast. I rolled my eyes."Typical men". I said it out loud, making them look into my eyes instead."Let's go." Johnny motioned and walked towards the door, with all of us following him. We walked out towards a black limousine. Stefano, Samuele, and I sit on one side, and Johnny, Luca, and Ciro sit on the other side.The driver star
Chapter 17Alessia’s POVI woke up to someone poking me on the side and saw Stefano leaning over me."Princess, it's time to start your training." He chuckled. I quickly got up, groaning. I slip into some blue sports leggings, a cut-out back blue tee, and black and white Adidas trainers. I put my hair into a high ponytail and followed Stefano to the back, where the girls were waiting for me."Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start with stretching and then do five laps around the house." Isabella smiled, drawing a groan from the rest of us. Luckily, I'm used to running, so this isn't too bad except for the fact that Johnny's house is big.We got some water after running, and Vittoria started showing me some hand-to-hand combat. "Alright, I think Alessia is ready to fight Ciro." I heard Johnny say something from behind us."Wait, what?" Camilla was shocked, just like me."She needs to be ready for whatever happens; now, Ciro and Alessia, will both of you step forward?"Ciro took of
Chapter 18Johnny's POVI was busy fighting three men who came up to me, and I realized it was a distraction to get to Alessia.I take my knife out now, pissed that these fuckers got into my house. I swiftly stabbed one of the men, letting him fall lifeless, and made my move to the next man. Within a few minutes, he drops dead."It's just you and me now, so I suggest you surrender." I was just about to attack when Ciro came from behind and beheaded him."They got Alessia.” I told him while running in the other direction."Let her go!"The man holding Alessia stopped, turned around, and saw him surrounded by my men. "There's no way you will get out of here alive if you try anything stupid."He started looking around, only to find no exit. "Give her back, and I will let you go."Ciro nods his head and I knew he was about to move in. "I'm going to ask you one last time: let go of Alessia."Before he knew what hit him, Ciro grabbed him by the neck. "Take him to the basement," I instructed
Chapter 19Alessia's POVI was running up the stairs to my room, and my head was dripping with blood. Even though I was running up the stairs, it felt like I was going nowhere."Alessia!" I heard my father's voice behind me. Turning around, I could see his angry red face, and I started running again. I know if he gets hold of me, I'm going to get beaten for what I did to my sister.Just as I reached the top, my mother appeared out of nowhere. "Where do you think you're going, slut?” She asked, and then her fist connected with my face."How dare you hit your sister like that? You're an ungrateful, good-for-nothing piece of trash!I tried to get up, but my mother kept kicking and screaming at me. "You're going to regret laying a hand on Amara!I felt like laughing. I didn't do anything to Amara; she was the one who hit me with a vase on my head because I didn't clean her room, but I know better than to say it out loud."Strip her and take everything that will keep her warm, then bring me
Chapter 20Alessia's POVI was lying on my bed when the door suddenly opened. I looked up and saw Johnny and Ciro walking inside. Johnny was wearing blue denim with a black t-shirt, while Ciro was wearing blue denim with a white t-shirt. I raised my brow at them."You're going out with the girls." He said.I frowned at him, not understanding why I could go out all of a sudden."Why?""Didn't you say you don't have clothes to wear?" Ciro asked in a bored tone.Yes, I know, but is it a good idea seeing that I almost got kidnapped yesterday?" I said I was questioning them."The girls will be with you the whole time; besides, they are trained assassins.""Yeah, and I have the Russian Mafia and my parents who want me.""Don't you trust the girls or us?" Johnny suddenly asked."Yes, I do trust you.""Then this discussion is over.” Ciro said it rudely.I nodded before standing up.I quickly checked myself in the mirror to redo my hair. I look back and see Johnny still standing there.“You're
Chapter 21Johnny's POVI sit in my office, rubbing my face.Last night, when the girls arrived home, they took Alessia to her room, where she stayed for the rest of the night. As soon as everyone arrived, they told me how many people were sent to catch Alessia.I'm waiting for my gang to come so that we can discuss what to do next. I don't know why I want to protect her against everyone who wants to harm her. My thoughts were interrupted when the door opened."Good morning, boss." Luca and the rest greet me."Morning, we have a lot to discuss, so let's get started."They quickly close the door and take a seat."As you all know, the Mikhas and Berlusconi want Alessia."Suddenly, someone opens the door, and Alessia steps inside."I heard you saying my name." She said this as she looked into my eyes.I stared back at her with a hard look. I want her out, but I also know she's stubborn."Take a seat; we are on limited time," I said instead.She closes the door and takes a seat on the only
