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
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─I slumped onto the living room couch and aimlessly flicked through the TV channels. As I heard the door creak open, I couldn't muster the energy to lift my head and see who it was. It was Grandpa, returning after spending an excruciating half-hour in the car with the underboss.When I peeked at them through the window, they seemed to be in a heated conversation in which the Underboss looked really upset. Grandpa sat on the couch on the opposite side and as I pivoted towards him, I noticed that he was staring uninterestedly at the ground, without uttering a single word.I frowned, "Grandpa?" He sucked in a sharp breath and didn't even spare me a glance. I called him once more, "Grandpa, are you alright?" I watched as he nodded, his gaze fixed on the floor. Suddenly, his shoulders began to shake, and I could see tears welling up in his eyes. Before I could react, a cry escaped his lips and I felt my heart skip a beat. With a sense of urgency, I sprang to my feet. A
Scott ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"I want you to marry her. I want her to bear your name so that people will think twice before even considering harming her." It felt like he was trying to use me as a tool for settling scores for taking me in."Are you out of your mind, Linus?" I asked, disbelief and anger coursing through me. The very idea that he proposed was preposterous. "Marriage? Me? And Allegra Rossi? Your granddaughter?!" I shook my head in utter disbelief, hoping to make him realize how absurd the idea was. "What makes you think I would even consider such a thing?"He gave his head a shake, "I would have never asked you something like this if I wasn't desperate. Allegra is vulnerable, she needs someone strong, not me. You don't have to stay married to her, just until all this is over. They will make her life a living hell, Scott." "You're telling me, you want me to marry her until all this is over? That's ridiculous! I don't even believe in the concept of marriage, and I certainly won't be m
Allegra ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─"I will not allow this!" Grandpa snapped, pacing back and forth in the living room. I stared at him and then at the shattered glass windows, the graffiti, the threatening messages. All of it was directed at us. At me and him. Aldo had said that he wanted to extend an olive branch to get me out of this situation. He said he wanted to make things right. But how could I trust him again? After all the pain he had caused me? He promised he would never hurt me again, but I couldn't shake the fear that lingered within me.He apologized and told me how much he admired me, I couldn't help but wonder if it was all just a facade. Would he really change? Or was this just another empty promise? The uncertainty weighed heavy on my mind.And it was the only way out of this mess. I had no choice left but to do it. It's the only way to regain my grandfather's respect and honor. These people won't leave us alone unless we take some drastic measures. Will it be enough? Will it be w
