Chapter 1
Johnny’s POV
I was driving home after a business deal went wrong. I'm pissed off and mad at the little fica {Cunt} who betrayed me. If there is one thing I can’t stand it’s a rat. When I get my hands on him, he is going to wish he was dead. Just my luck it started to rain, big, hard drops falling from the night sky. As I turned into the next street, all the streetlights were off. Great even better. The only light visible was my car's lights.
"Fanculo la mia vita"! {Fuck my life}. It started to rain heavier now I couldn't see a thing in front of me, so I pulled over, opening the window slightly and lit a cigarette. Could this night get any worse? I thought. My thoughts were interrupted when I saw a van pulled into the alley. I slowly got out of my car to inspect who it was. I have a lot of enemies and maybe someone followed me. I started walking towards the alley where I saw the van pulled in when I heard someone scream.
"Nooo! Please someone help!" It sounded like a girl, but I'm not sure since it was raining hard, making sure my gun is on my waist band I started walking faster towards the alley. Looking down I see a girl surrounded by men in suites down the alley. The girl was struggling to get a way from them, she was kicking them, but it didn’t change much.
Tough one. I thought as I watched her trying to take them on. I continued to walk until I was behind the men. The girl hasn't noticed me yet, too busy kicking at the guy who tries to get closer to her. "Piscio di vio stronzi!" {Piss off you fuckers} she screams at them as soon as they try to get close.
I'm impressed by this girl’s fighting spirit, even though the men are two times bigger than herself, she still tries to put up a fight.
"Ahem". I cleared my throat, grabbing their attention as they turned towards me. "Now, boys, you had your fun, but as you can see she's not interested in going anywhere with you." I said
"Who are you to tell us we had enough?" One of the men asked me. "The boss wants her, now if you don’t want to lose your life I suggest you leave.” Another one said walking closer to me with two of his friends following him. I pulled my gun out and shot the first one in his leg. He went down with a scream.
"Kill this motherfucker!" He shouts at the others. They ran towards me; one tried sending me a punch, but I grabbed his wrist and gave it a twist as he groaned loudly. "Suka!" {Bitch}. He yelled at me in Russian. I understood it because I had dealt with the Russian mafia. I twisted his arm again, hearing a cracking sound, breaking his hand. I started to beat the other one to a pulp as he fell to the ground, bleeding. When I looked back up to where the girl was at, one of the others was busy dragging her towards the other side of the alley.
I start to walk towards the guy and say, "That’s no way to treat a lady; didn’t your parents teach you any manners?" I shot him in the head.
I went over to where the girl was lying, her body shaking and soaked. She looked at me with fear written all over her face. "Please, don’t take me back.” She pleaded.
"I'm not going to hurt you." I told her softly. She looked at me, trying to speak, but before she got anything out, she fainted. I picked her up and walked back to my car. Opening the back door, I gently lay her down and close the door. I take my phone and dial Stefano, my right-hand man.
"Send someone to this address and have them clean up the mess. I will explain everything once I get home, and call Samuele and tell him to go to my house." I ended the call before he could ask any questions.
You seriously had to put her in your car? She's trouble.
Ignoring my thoughts, I took her to my house.
Chapter 2Johnny's POVI don’t know why I took her to my home. I don’t even know her. All I know is I couldn’t just leave her there in the alley. I wonder why the Russians are after her? As soon as she wakes up I will find out why they want her. I decided to go to one of my clubs and sent Stefano a text. Walking back to my car I told my maid to watch over the girl and to let me know if anything happened.My life has been rough since the day I turned thirteen years old. My old man told me to become a man and that I would someday take over from him. By the time I took over the family business I had killed more people than most people change underwear in a day. I don’t trust anyone except a handful of people. My three best friends, Stefano my right-hand man and Samuele. They have known me since I was a little boy. We all grew up together since our families were friends. Kevin and Jake both have their own gang, but they aren't as powerful as mine. Alessandro is a billionaire who took over
Chapter 3Alessia's POVI groaned at the sharp pain that was piercing my head, ignoring it I opened my eyes, I was met with an unfamiliar sight.I was in a big room that had a walk-in closet, light brown walls and the bed I was in was a king-size with dark brown covers. At the end of the bed was a big dark brown chest. I sat up abruptly, making my head pulse and my vision blurry for a moment. I let myself have a moment to compose myself before I stand up to think of the men that tried to kidnap me last night. Then I remember a man who rescued me, killing those men. I have never seen him before. What if it was my parents that sent someone to take me back home? No, they won't spend money to hire someone to find me. I can only think of one person who would do that, Sergei Mikhas, the man that I was sold to.Now knowing it was Sergei's doing I laid back down and closed my eyes thinking how I was always going to be a caged animal, and there was nothing I could do about it. My four years of
Chapter 4Alessia's POVI wake up realizing it was almost night, standing up went to the kitchen and made me a sandwich and some coffee. I can't believe I have slept the whole day. Deciding what to do to keep myself busy I went back to my room. Only one thing comes to mind.I sit in front of my clean canvas, taking the palette in to my hands as my fingers start to move swiftly across the canvas. Painting was always a way to keep me calm, to paint or draw my feelings instead of speaking them and being judged for them.Since the day I was born I had no one, I never went to school, my mother told our maid to tutor me at home. She always told me she won't spend a cent of her money on a useless nobody. Our maid became more like a mother to me. Rosetta was diagnosed with stage IV inflammatory breast cancer when I was fourteen years old, so she stayed in bed most of the time. But somehow managed to tutor me.My parents never loved me, they made that clear right from the start. Rosetta could n
Chapter 5Johnny POVWe have been searching for the snitch the whole day, and we found little information. Walking around the office I saw my reflection and my hair was messed up from dragging my hands through them a thousand times. I turned around and flipped the table. "Fanculo"! I shouted with anger.I left in my car to go to the warehouse where all my shipment is. Walking in I found Stefano and Samuele already there. "Samuele, anything missing here?" I asked."Doesn't look like anything is gone, but we are busy counting the weapons just in case." I nod, "I think we must put men here to keep watch, they might try and raid the warehouse, and we must be ready for when that happens." Samuele nods, then proceeds to talk to our men. After taking care of business and making sure everything goes smoothly, I decided to visit Alessandro and Lisa. I rarely visit them these days, because of the shit that’s been going on in my life. I don’t want to get them involved. Getting into my car I dro
Chapter 6Alessia's POVI wake up groaning at the sharp pain piercing my head; my body feels stiff and sore. I try to compose myself, wondering where I am. The last thing I remembered was the guy who broke into my apartment and threw me against the wall. Struggling to sit up straight I looked around, I was met by a familiar room. What was I doing back here? Did this guy send someone after me? Maybe he is working with Sergei? All these questions are going through my head. I stand up abruptly, making my head pulse and my vision blurry for a moment. I let myself have a minute to compose myself before I stood up. I went over to the door only to find it locked. Strange. I though. Why would he lock me in this room? Suddenly I heard someone by the door and quickly walked back to the bed, ignoring the pain in my stomach. The door swung open and closed, bringing my attention to the same guy from the other night.He looked at me and asked, "Are you hurt?” In his deep Italian voice. I looked behi
Chapter 7Johnny's POV"Where is Stefano?" I asked Samuele as soon I went down."He and the rest of the guys are on their way over." I nodded and went to the couch lying down. Samuele looked at me amused."What?" I asked when he keeps on staring at me like I have gone crazy."Why are you treating her like a guest? I thought she was a prisoner?" He said with a tease clear in his voice."I need her to tell me the truth, I think she knows the Russians, but won't admit it." I tell him with a serious face, I mean what the fuck does he think I'm trying to do?"Well I was just thinking why treat her like a guest and not torture her to tell the truth?" Just as I was about to answer him, the others walk in."Good morning boss." They great me while walking over. "Where is breakfast this morning boss?" Luca asked while looking around. "Now, Johnny, get your ass up and make us some breakfast." Luca says when he doesn’t see any breakfast."No"' I mumbled. "Okay I'm hungry," Ciro sighed. "Samuele
Chapter 8Alessia's POVI was lying on the bed when I heard voices outside in the hall. It sounds like they are playing some sort of game. I wonder if there are only guys in this place. After some time I heard a door being kicked down.Maybe they are killing someone? My subconscious says. Yeah, maybe someone went to hide in a room and they got that person. Standing up I walk to the door trying to listen if I hear anything, but all I hear is laughter. Maybe they are just playing I don’t know and don’t care I just want to get out of here.My headache is killing me. I went back to bed deciding to sleep for a while. My stomach begins to grumble realizing I haven’t eaten since yesterday. After a while of tossing and turning I hear the door open and sit up straight waiting for whoever to walk in. My eyes went wide when I noticed the man that saved me with four other men.They step inside my room. And let me tell you these guys are handsome. One of them I remember I think his name is Samuele.
Chapter 9Alessia's POVI couldn't believe he would just kill her like that! I mean what the fuck! My hands couldn't stop shaking, I was angry! No scratch that I was fucking furious! Elma didn't deserve to die like that. She's a sweet old lady. I wonder what they are going to do now? Will, they sent me back to that hellhole or the Mikhas?I got startled when the door opened, pulling me out of my thoughts. The sexy stranger entered with Samuele and Stefano."Looks like we are going to have a family get-together." The sexy man said. I looked up at him shocked.O shit! Maybe I should do something stupid, so he can just kill me now, it's better than going back to my parents or my fiancé. My hands started shaking violently again."You know, you should have just told me who your parents were I always do business with your father." He continues.Tears start to run down my face. What the hell can I do now? My parents are probably on their way as we speak. My mother is going to kill me that's f
