Chapter 7
Johnny'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 can you drag his ass over to the kitchen". "Why do I have to do it?" Samuele asked.
"Because you were the first one here." Luca noted.
"I will do it with you," Stefano stated. "Alright," Samuele cheered. "Let’s do this." Samuele and Stefano took their stances on both my side on the couch.
"On three," Luca encourage, "1'2…3!" Samuele and Stefano grabbed my arms and started pulling me.
"You're all dead." I roared. "Run!" Luca yelled. All of them run out of the room, "The beast has awakened!" Stefano yelled. They run around the house splitting up.
I looked around and saw Ciro walking up to me, "Let’s get them." I said and began walking upstairs. We went from room to room until we heard someone talking in a hush tone. I smirk knowing they are hiding behind that door. "Hiding in the bedroom," I chuckled. "I should've known. Now are you going to make it easy or complicated?"
"Complicated," Luca announced. "You idiot now they know where in here," I hear Stefano say. "We already knew you were in there," Ciro added. "So are you going to come out?" I asked them once again. "No", Samuele replied. "Well, looks like the door is coming down." I stated. I listen to them inside talking.
"Guys we can take them", Luca encouraged. I smirked before taking the door down. "Attack!" Samuele yelled. They charged Ciro and me, and soon they got beaten by me and Ciro. "Alright, I give up!" Luca surrendered. After the other two also gave up we went down. "Let’s go make breakfast. I need to talk to our guest again. And Stefano I want you to look at her bruises again." They nod and take a seat at the counter. Ciro was busy cleaning his gun while the other three played cards.
"So, what is your plan exactly with the girl?" Samuele asked while I was busy making pancakes.
"I think we can use her to our advantage if she is working with the Russians." Samuele shakes his head. "I don’t think she is. I saw some scars on her back this morning. I think she's running away from someone." I turned around and started placing the pancakes on the counter. "Well, we will find out soon enough."
"Finally", Stefano cheered, "Pancakes". I laughed as I dish pancakes on a plate. "Aww, aren't you sweet to think about our guest," Samuele mocks. I threw him the finger. "Finish up then follow me." After breakfast, we stood up and went upstairs.
We walk up to her room, opening the door I see her sit on the bed. Her eyes went wide as soon as she noticed me and the rest of the guys.
Chapter 64 Johnny's POV The church was filled with our closest friends and family. I was standing at the altar talking to Ciro. "Are you ready to make her your wife?" he asked with a grin. "I have never been more ready." My mother walked up to me, "Your bride is nervous," she whispered. "I will talk to her," I said, walking away to find my bride. I knocked on her door when Camilla opened it. "Thank God you are here she's freaking out!" She said pulling me into the room leading me to the bathroom door and I can't help laughing at how stressed the girls look all because of my wife-to-be. "Alessia baby?" I knock on the door. "Johnny? What are you doing here?" She asked frantically when she heard my voice. "I'm here to talk to you. I was told you were freaking out." "I'm afraid you will leave me once I get fat," she sniffed, and I wish I could take her in my arms and tell her that she will never get fat in my eyes. "Baby you know that will never happen I love you for you, not f
Chapter 63Alessia’s POVIt's been three weeks since I found out that I'm pregnant. Bella is the only one who knows I'm pregnant. I asked her not to tell anyone until I had told Johnny. Mason and Stefanie have already left, saying they need to take care of a few things back home. The last week, Johnny has been acting strangely; he always seems to not want to spend time with me, which is beginning to bug me. That's one of the reasons I haven't told him about the pregnancy yet. He would come to bed when I was already asleep and be gone before I woke up. Every time I text or call him, he says he is busy with some important meetings and that he will talk to me later. That's why I was surprised when he texted me this morning, telling me to go shopping with the girls and to treat myself to something beautiful to wear tonight because he wants to take me out.“Girls, I'm hungry and tired," I moaned as we went into the sixth shop for today."We will get something to eat after we finish shopping
Chapter 62Alessia’s POV"Mamma, pappa?" I said as I entered their room. We came to the house where Johnny's mother is staying, seeing that the house back in Rome needs some repair, or rather a makeover, after what happened a few weeks ago.All of us were exhausted and took a few days off. Many of our men were injured, and some are dead. The Russians withdrew from the fight after Sergei gave them the order to stop. Lorenzo lost many men, and the others ran away, seeing that they were losing against our people and the Americans.Luckily, the Americans only had people injured. Mason got his fiancé back safely, and they will be heading back to the USA in a few days. Stefanie is a down-to-earth girl; she has long black hair and blue eyes. When I saw her and Mason together, I knew that they loved each other just by the way they acted whenever they were together. She has been kidnapped for six months and tortured every day, thinking no one will rescue her after Lorenzo told her Mason thinks
Chapter 61Alessia’s POVWe stayed in the office. No one spoke, and no one moved. We waited. This is it; this is what was supposed to happen, but we didn't think it would be this soon. We didn't plan for them to attack first. My gut feeling says Carter told them about our plans. Thinking about him makes my blood boil.If I find out he sold us out, I will be the one dealing with him!I can tell Viona is scared I know I am scared shitless. What if they find us?Will Johnny be in time to rescue us? I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned my head around to look at Viona."We are going to be okay." She tried to comfort me, but I could hear the fear in her voice. I knew she was trying to be brave.I smiled, squeezing her hand in return. "I know your brother won't let anything happen to us."That's when we heard the gunshots. This is it. I don't know how we are going to protect ourselves against these mafia men.We were holding on to each other now. I can only imagine all the bodies lying
Chapter 60Alessia’s POVThings were going quite smoothly the next few days after the Americans arrived, and everyone was settled in their rooms. I didn't think these men would get along, but they proved me wrong, and somehow I think Bella has something to do with it.She is a tough bitch and doesn't take shit from anyone. It's amazing to think that they are actually gang members, but once you are in their company, you can tell they are nice people. I never thought that I would get attached to them, but life has shown me that I can't judge a book by its cover. I never thought that people like them would be the ones who saved me from my so-called parents. Speaking of parents, I can't wait to see mine after all these years. Just thinking about them brings tears to my eyes. Who would have thought that my life would change this much?I haven't seen Johnny all day. He and the rest were busy in the office going over the plan that's going to end Lorenzo, Sergei, and his father in a few days.
Chapter 59Johnny’s POVI pressed my lips to Alessia's. Her lips were so sweet and addictive that I never wanted to stop kissing her. I poured all of my feelings into the kiss. I want her to know how much I love her. Gasping for breath, we separate from each other. I looked at her, smiling like I had just won the jackpot, and she was smiling at me, watching me. I wonder what she's thinking about.The thought of her always has me smiling. I can't believe that I'm head over heels in love with this amazing woman. I won't show it to others because my enemies will know she's my weakness, and I won't let them hurt her to get to me.I know that I used to be a player, but ever since I met Alessia, I couldn't hook up with someone else because Alessia was always on my mind and I wasn't able to focus on anything or anyone. She consumes my mind every second of the day.I can't believe that I opened up like that in front of Bella; it's something I would have never done, and I knew I had shocked Bel
