Chapter 5
Johnny POV
We 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 drove off to Alessandro's home.
"Honey! I'm home!" I shouted as soon as I stepped into the house. "Uncle Johnny!". JP shouts when he sees me running up to me to catch him.
"Aex! Gabe! Look, who's here!" He calls his brothers, and right on cue, the others join him. "Hey, guys, how have you been?" I asked as I put JP down and picked up the other two.
"Great, we are going to school uncle J." Alex tells me We all gave Alexander the nickname and Gabriele became Gabe. The triplets are now four years old, Lilian is turning three; and then there are the twins Gia and Elisa, who turned two recently.
"O' hey Johnny." Alice greets me as soon as she enters the room. "I was wondering what got the kids so excited, they have missed you. Alessandro and Lisa will be down in a minute." She tells me before going to the kitchen, I assume. Alice is still a part of the Mancini's taking care of the household. We have grown to love her.
"Uncle J!" Lilani shouts when she notices me. She's turning ten years old, can’t believe it’s the same little girl we met a few years back. "Hey principessa, how was school today?"
"Great, I'm taking part in a school concert. I really hope you can make it." She said excited. "Just tell me when and I will be there.” Just then Alessandro and Lisa came in. "Look who decided to visit us again.” Alessandro says giving me a hug.
"Hey man.” I look at Lisa and hug her too. "I'm going to get us something to drink; you guys can catch up." Lisa says before leaving us alone after calling the boys. I spent the rest of the afternoon with them when my phone started to ring. Seeing that it was Samuele, I picked it up and walked out.
"That girl from the other night lied to you; the Russians want her, but why? I don’t know." He informed me. Great, now I have to go and get her; she might be the link I was searching for to get to the Mikhas. I went back to the living room and said, "Sorry guys, but something came up and I must go. I will see you soon." Luckily, they know my business, so they understand. Just as I walked out, I bumped into Lea, the babysitter. She looked at me as if wanting to say something, but I don’t have time for chatting.
I drove towards Gioia's apartment as fast as I could. I hate it when someone lies to me. Soon I was in front of her apartment building, walking up the stairs to her door. Something didn’t seem right. Why isn't the door locked? Then I hear a commotion on the side, and taking my gun, I slowly open the door and walk inside. I look around the apartment when I hear a loud crash coming from the bedroom. Walking to the bedroom, I see a man busy taking his pants off. I increased my pace, and just as he was about to do something, I kicked him off her. "You son of a bitch!" I shout just before I pull the trigger, shooting him in the head. I turned towards the girl and went over, covering her half naked body with my jacket. Picking her up, I carry her to my car. Stefano, go to my house; I will be there in ten." Then hang up.
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
Chapter 10Johnny's POVI wonder why Alessia hid her true identity—what was she afraid of? I have known her father a long time, and he doesn't seem like a monster that would hurt his daughter. Maybe she doesn't want to get married, and I understand that because I hate the Mikhas.Taking out my phone I call her father. "Long time, Mr. Gravano." I hear his voice coming through the phone."Mr. Berlusconi, I have some good news for you," I told him."Ah, could this be another promising business opportunity?" He asked hopefully."No, but I have the person you've been searching for a while," I tell him, waiting for his reply."That bi... Oh, do you mean Alessia?” He said it with a sadistic chuckle. Something seems off, what did he mean before he said her name?"Yes, the one and only," I said after some time."O my boy, you don't know how happy I am to hear that." He said it with another chuckle."When can we come and pick her up?" I heard him ask."I will let you know where and when.” I told
Chapter 11Alessia's POVWhen we walked inside the fancy restaurant I knew my life was over. We walked up to a table while I just kept my head down not ready to face the monsters from my past."Alessia?" I heard my stepfather's voice and I went stiff. I think Mr boss man must have felt it because he drew me closer to him."Mr. Berlusconi, please take a seat." Mr boss man told my stepfather in a cold voice."I just wanted to hug her. I can't believe it's been four years." My stepfather said and I feel like vomiting."Alessia, honey it's you.” My mother said as we sit down, and I look up at my monsters."Yes, your long-lost daughter is back," I told them sarcastically."Thank you for reuniting us with our daughter, Mr. Gravano." My stepfather said to Bossman or shall I say, Mr. Asshole Gravano."My pleasure, let's order shall we? We have a lot to discuss," Gravano told us. The waitress comes and takes our order with her eyes on Gravano the whole time, "Yeah he's good-looking but an assh
Chapter 12Alessia's POVI woke up back in the room I was in when I first came here. I wonder what will happen to me now. I sighed when I heard my stomach grumble and right on cue the door opens and Stefano walks in with a tray of food. He smiles at me and walks over. "Buongiorno bella addormentata". I raised a brow at him for calling me that."You do realize you slept late?” He said this when I looked at him weirdly."O, sorry, I didn't realize it was late." I apologize with a small smile."I brought you some pasta and orange juice." He said this before putting it on my lap."Thank you.” I took the fork and began to eat."So, what's going to happen now? Bossman knows I'm not working with the Russians?" I asked with a little hope that he would let me go."I'm not sure; Johnny will talk to you later and discuss everything I assume." He said this while sitting down on the chair next to my bed.I nodded. "Can you tell me why he took me to my family last night?" I asked, hoping he would k
Chapter 13Johnny's POVA couple of days have passed since the incident at the restaurant. I talked to Alessia's father and managed to get him to an agreement.Samuele and Alessia have been spending most of their time together.He even asked for a karaoke machine one time, shocking me.Their laughs had caused the rest of us to pop our heads inside the room to see what they were doing. My eyes widen when I saw him dancing with her on one dirty dancing song."Is Samuele dancing like Patrick Swayze?" Stefan asked with a smirk. Samuele looked at Stefano and threw him a finger."I'm enjoying my time with her, and you're breaking our concentration."I looked between the two of them, "I have to talk to Alessia in private." I told them and Samuele hugs her then leaves.She raised a brow, waiting for me to go on. "I have some news for you.""Good news or bad news?""Good" She smiled brightly at me."I have made a deal with your parents, they will leave you alone, and you can go back to your nor
