AVELINA'S POV

The silence in the room is too heavy.

Orlando's gun is still aimed at me and Allessandro still standings in front ready to take any hit coming my way.

"Stop this games Allessandro." Orlando growls. "She comes with me"

Allessandro, still standing in front of me with his shoulders squared and a gun aimed at Lucia.

"I would rather die."

Lucia sighs dramatically, brushing invisible dust from her gloves. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic. It won’t come to that, unless you force my hand.”

Everything suddenly changes as a faint sound came, along with it a distant echo.

Alessandro hears it a second before I do. His eyes are sharpened as he tightens his grip on his gun.

“Avelina,” he murmurs. “Stay behind me. Now.”

My breath suddenly stops as the light foes off. i hear a low, violent hum fill the hall.

Orlando grins. “Collect her. Don’t scratch her face—Lucia would hate that.”

  • MY ENEMY'S DAUGHTER   WHERE LOVE BLOOMS

    Allessandro looks at me like time has frozen as he holds my hand while pulling into a driveway.“We’re almost there,” he finally murmurs.“Where?”A small smile appears on his face, like he knows something I don’t.“To a place,” he says, “you once told your father you wanted to see.”My breath catches.“My father told you that?”“No.” His eyes soften. “You told me. You forgot.”I swallow hard.“So I’m taking you.”The road curves, revealing a quiet seaside cliff with the bluest water I’ve ever seen. It looks hidden, untouched, and ancient. It seems like something from another world. My throat tightens as I gaze at it.“You remembered,” I whisper.“I remember everything,” he says as he parks the car. “Especially the things that make you light up like this.”He leans in, his lips brushing my ear.“Happy birthday, Avelina.”Alessandro parks the car at the end of the driveway and steps out without a word. He walks around to my side, opens my door, and offers his hand. When I place mine in

  • MY ENEMY'S DAUGHTER   BIRTHDAY GIRL

    AVELINA'S POVMy birthday is approaching, in two days but i haven't told anyone. It feels like a silly to to think of with all that's going on. Birthdays used to be fun, a queit dinner with family. My mum bakes a cake with a single candle and i'd make a wish, my dad buys presents. But now now of them are here. And even with a single candle i won't know what to wish for.Sitting in my room,dim light with a blanket drapped over me a thought crosses my mind. Why don't i spend my birthday with Allessandro over dinner? Just us together. My first birthday as Mrs Rossi. I chew the inside of my cheek, uncertain. We aren’t exactly a normal couple. We can barely admit what we are. Everything between us feels delicate and dangerous.What if he says no? or he thinks it's a silly idea, maybe childish? He walks past the doorway at that moment, sleeves rolled up, hair a little messy from running his fingers through it—stressed, brooding, intense. His eyes flick toward me, and even from across the ro

  • MY ENEMY'S DAUGHTER   CLOSER THAN SAFE

    ALLESSANDRO'S POVMy phone vibrates twice, glancing at it i notice messages from Emilio. Before i could respond his call came through. He knows better than to disturb me unless it's something he can't handle. Avelina lays in my arm, her head on my chest, her figure, fragile and warm. I ignore the calls but the vibration continues. A low growl escapes me as I reach for the phone on the nightstand, careful not to disturb her.“Talk,” I reply quietly.There was no patience and no time for plastantries. Emilio’s voice sounds tight and strained, which feels wrong.“Boss, you need to come downstairs. Now.”The muscles in my body tensed up.“What happened?”There’s a pause. A breath. Then he says, “Just come. And come armed.”A cold, lethal calm settles in me. Avelina senses it right away. Her eyes open slowly, still hazy with sleep, then narrow as she looks at my face.“Alessandro?” she whispers, touching my chest. “What’s wrong?”I force my tone to sound calm even though adrenaline flames

  • MY ENEMY'S DAUGHTER   ONLY HER

    ALLESSANDRO'S POVGenoa is a city built on bloodshed, corruption and oppression. It is a city bulit on old money , rich in cultural melting pot. A place where the city ruins some and brings fortune to others. I remember my grandfather telling me it was bulit off the backs of immigrants as men smuggled contrabands during the war. Italy has been romanticiszed by a lot of people including the food and culture but Genoa is different.Build by men who only has the luxury of dreaming. Men like my grandfather. Men who clawed their way up from nothing until the nothing belonged to them.I stand by the window now, watching the lights of the harbor flicker against the dark water. It’s quiet. Almost peaceful. But that’s a lie. Beneath that shine lies corruption so old it’s practically tradition: politics, ports, trade routes, and escort lines for ships carrying goods we don’t list on any manifest. Every faction wants a piece. Every family wants control.The Russians. The Albanians. The Neapolitan

  • MY ENEMY'S DAUGHTER   WRAPPED IN HIS WARMTH

    ALLESSANDRO'S POVAvelina fell asleep after midnight with my arms wrapped around her. After our evening of wild fantancies. Gosh i have never wanted any woman like i want her. Her skin against mine. When her lips met mine, i felt an electric pull. It's almost morning and watching her sleep has been the highlight of my night. She sleeps with her cheek against my chest, her fingers curled around the fabric of my shirt like she’s afraid to let go, even in her dreams. I am afraid to move so i won't wake her up.Her breath brushes my skin, slow and warm. She looks nothing like the girl I found hours ago, standing over the cliff with eyes wild with fear. She looks safe in my arms. Without thinking, i raised my hands to brush the strands of hair covering her face, a tiny frown creases her brow at the motion, and my chest tightens painfully. She looks exhausted, and i want to protect her from all her worries.Avelina shifts, letting out a small sound. Immediately, my anger vanishes, replaced

    ALLESSANDRO'S POVAfter the house was swept through by the guards, i immediately ordered them to leave. Emilio wasn't okay with it but i wanted to be alone with Avelina.“Boss—” Emilio began“Out.” I say cutting him off.He was hesitant at first but but obeyed my orders.The room was silent. I turn around and see Avelina standing in the by the table. My jacket over her shoulder, and her fingers still trembling. Gosh I hate when she is like this. I loathe that she’s afraid of shadows instead of finding peace in my arms. Stepping forward, i open my arms, hoping she won't escape.“Avelina,” I say softly. “Look at me.”Her eyes meeting my gaze. I feel something breaking in me, something I’ve been holding back for weeks.“I am not letting you stary in your room alone tonight."She blinks. “What?”“You heard me.” My voice is rougher than I want. “New rules.”She stiffens. “Alessandro—”“You sleep where I sleep.”Her breath hitches.“You stay where I stay.”I watch as she swallowed hard.“An
