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 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
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 the gurgles sound of the man.The door opened and I saw Johnny enter. "Sorry for disturbing you." He said as he closes the door behind him."I want to ask you something." He said 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 in c
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, qu
