A shorter chapter! The next POV will be Scott's! ❤️ Let me know what you think so far. Do you think Allegra will be caught?
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I didn't really want to be here for the wedding, but somehow I ended up coming anyway. I was told by a source - let's call it a little birdie - that my presence was expected. And now, against my better judgment, I find myself here, feeling incredibly bored and uninterested in everything that's going on.As I took my seat next to Niko in the front row, I couldn't help but feel the urge for a smoke. The thought of weddings made me feel uneasy and repulsed. The mere notion of binding yourself to one person for eternity seemed grotesque and made my stomach turn. I mean, honestly, the idea of waking up every day and seeing the same face for the rest of my life was enough to make me want to puke. I could never, and I mean never, commit to such a fate.I peered across the room, my eyes fell upon the Cerone family seated on the opposite end. Their unappealing faces and features disgusted me to no end. Aldo, in particular, I found repulsive, and for good reason. I have seen hi
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I spent an entire week trying to track down Allegra, racking my brain for any clue that could lead me to her. I was determined to find her, no matter how much time and effort it took. It was apparent that she had left the United States, leaving me to mull over where she could have gone.As I searched for Allegra, I scanned through her surveillance footage of wherever she went. Pausing at her laughing face, I rolled my neck to relieve the tension. It was intriguing to see her having a good time. She spent most of her time with her two library friends. As I studied the footage, I couldn't help but notice the bond she shared with them. It was the first time I'd seen Allegra so carefree, laughing like there was no tomorrow. She seemed different with these two. Those two men were all over her, their hands wandering freely over her body, and yet she didn't seem to mind. It was strange, considering how she had always come across as someone who was staunchly against being tou
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─Two men hovering over Little Miss Holier Than Thou. Their grubby hands were violating her personal space, groping her every inch.I could hear her laughter down the street from a mile away.Look at her, getting all cozy with those two Outfit bastards, as if she doesn't have a care in the world. Meanwhile, I've gone all the way across the damn world to find her. Her family's been losing their minds over her disappearing act. And don't even get me started on her poor ol' grandpa, who's probably on the brink of death worrying about her. And to top it all off, her fiancé's been humiliated beyond belief. And what does she do? She goes and bangs the damn enemy. What a piece of work.Not so holy anymore now, are we? I don't know why but I used to have some level of respect for her, but now all I can see is a total fake. I thought of her as a decent woman, but seeing her cozying up to not one, but two men, changed my mind. I mean, seriously, what happened to all that so-call
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─The moment the plane started accelerating on the runway, I felt my body stiffen with fear, and I instinctively shut my eyes tight. However, as soon as my eyelids met, the image of the man who had lost his life to protect me invaded my mind. His body was lifelessly lying in a pool of blood, and the sight was enough to send chills down my spine, forcing me to open my eyes abruptly. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget that harrowing experience. I couldn't erase his image from my mind, no matter how hard I tried. Every time I closed my eyes, his face haunted me. Suppressing my tears, I bite my lower lip. The pain in my heart was unbearable, and I was getting consumed by guilt. The thought of being responsible for his death was suffocating me. He lost his life because of me. He was a good man who tried to save me, but I caused his demise. I know that I didn't pull the trigger, but my actions led to an innocent man's death.Enrico and Silvio got caught because of me
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I couldn't believe what happened to me earlier. My arms were clasped around me, trying to protect myself from the memory. My eyes felt heavy with sleep, but the thought of dozing off again terrified me. I was too afraid to fall asleep now, not after what happened. I needed to stay alert and keep myself safe.I curled up into a ball and gazed into the abyss of my thoughts. My lips quivered as I recollected the events of the previous week that left me feeling hollow. The memories of the past week pierced through my heart. I couldn't help but wonder how I can return to living the life I had in the Cosa Nostra after experiencing so much freedom. This past week, I had no worries or expectations placed on me, no fears—except for the constant fear of getting caught. But now, as I reminisce about those moments, I can't help but feel a deep sense of sadness, knowing that I may never experience that kind of happiness again.Silvio, Enrico, and I... It's like I was in a differ
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THEM!" I yelled, running in their direction and fiercely wrapping my arms around them. "They have nothing to do with this, and I won't let you harm them!" As I reached out to touch Silvio's face, my heart sank at the sight of his battered and bruised features. I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cruel punishment had they inflicted upon him. Tearing my gaze away from Silvio, My eyes shifted towards Enrico, who seemed to be struggling to stay conscious, barely able to hold his head up."Allegra!" my mother's voice surged from behind me, cutting through the silence like a knife. The other people in the room fell deathly still, clearly taken aback by my unexpected outburst. It was as though they couldn't fathom what was unfolding before them.I cannot bear the thought of Enrico and Silvio being blamed for my actions. They have always loved and supported me through thick and thin. I would never betray their trust and leave them to face the cons
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─As I got out of the car, I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Mama followed suit, and her lips were sealed tight. Not a single syllable escaped her, and the eerie silence that hung in the air made my heart race with fear.I took slow steps toward the front door. The key was hidden under the welcome mat, I retrieved it with trembling hands and reluctantly unlocked the door. The deafening silence that greeted me was suffocating.The front door loomed in front of me, and I approached it with a sinking feeling in my stomach. The key was hidden under the welcome mat, just as Mama had warned. I retrieved it with trembling hands and reluctantly unlocked the door. The deafening silence that greeted me was suffocating.Mama's presence behind me only added to the mounting dread. I kicked off my shoes, tears streamed down my face, and my thoughts were consumed by Enrico and Silvio. Every passing moment felt like an eternity as I struggled to come to terms wit
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I tossed the duvet aside and sat on the edge of my bed, putting my elbows over my knees. I grabbed my cell phone and raised the blinds of my room. The daylight flooded in, illuminating the room as I stared at the sky through the ceiling-to-floor glass windows. Raking my hand through my hair, I got off the bed, wore my boxers, and made my way out of the bedroom. My penthouse is on the Upper East Side, but it's not just any penthouse. It has the best fucking view a man like me deserves.I grabbed my morning coffee from Glenna, my housekeeper. She eyed me warily, a question in her eyes. "What?" I asked. She flinched at the sight of my chiseled chest, which was quite unexpected as women usually swoon over my bare physique. They always seem to be entranced by my physique, but not her. "I need to clean your room," she ordered, cringing once more.I glanced at my chest, and my eyes landed on the beautiful red kiss marks glorifying my body. I let out a cocky smile, and wit
