It never occurred in Alessia mind that she would be sitting inside the court because of Roy. Well it's not Roy fault, Alessia knew Roy is a decent person and she also knew that someone is trying to mess with her friends, that's why she take Roy blame to herself. Never in ages had anyone dared to drag her down and insult her, only if her father knew. For as long as she could remember people would only submit and obey her, only her father ask question to her.
Alessia knew someone is messing with her circle, it's either her ex lover or that Damon Williams.
This was not what Alessia has planned for her future. She did not escape from her father's watch only to be imprisoned in another country. She came to Europe to find about her mother with all the limited information, she also want to live her own after her breakup. She still remember him, her first love who break her heart. Alessia want to stay away from all the mafia shits as much as she can but after her meeting with Damon Williams it's look impossible. She knew even she save Roy this time, Damon Williams will do something when she go to prision, Alessia is sure Damon Williams will go behind all her friends. She only want them to be safe and stay away from all mafia shits. What a dramatic story she got here.
A guard escorted her into cell. Into some narrow room, there are five other officers who are now looking at her with smirk.
After the room closed again, they started to stand up and gave her intimidating looks.
"New girl? Looks like a foreigner." said one of them.
They looked at her from top to bottom, seeing that the one person before them looked like easy prey, small and fragile.
"Let me tell you one thing kid, we have some rules here for you." Said the officers on her left side.
"To live your days in peace, you must obey all our orders." Continue the other officer.To her hole life, no one dared to look Alessia like a prey, everyone lowered their heads when they faced her. However this time, even these low officers are dared to gave her orders. It's really funny. Subconsciously, Alessia gave him a evil smirk.
It made the other officer furious who seemed to be their leader. He came up to Alessia and gripped the small jaw with his big rough hands."You dare underestimate us girl? Rememer you are just a weak women, who born to serve us"Alessia didn't look scared at all. She just laughs at her current state which looks funny and ironic.
Only if the person knew who she is? Only if the person know her real name? He didn't dare to call her weak women.
Receiving no response, the big officer immediately threw his fists. Alessia body fell instantly. But Alessia didn't show any pain, she just laughed. Other's office gave her shock and confuse look. They knew Adira is not criminal, she is here because of hit and run case. And other officers are sure it's not her fault, but they got order to mess with her.
"Beat the shit out of her" Order the other officer, they got order to high authority to test Adira, she is going to work with someone powerfull.
"Make sure to put her in her place!" The senior officer said then order four other people to gang up on Adira. So now she was surrounded but other and they start attack her without giving her time.
Come on Alessia and think about it was your karma for disobeying her father? She talk to herself and remembers when her father ordered her specifically to be his successor and ended up in a big fight between them. Alessia remembers when she made the big decision to run away from her father and look for his mother to another country. She always thought her mother was dead but he is wrong. Alessia also remembers that when her lover basically throw her out after some months, she had to work hard to make ends meet. She remembers applying for jobs as a waitress in a restaurant, as a barber in a salon, and as a call driver at night.
She rember when Roy call her. When he gets a customer who hire her and Roy for some advertisment. The man hired their service and picked both of them but he receive a call and got angry. The man drove the car crazily then the accident happened.
What Alessia knows when she wakes up in the hospital after a few days in a coma is that she and Roy is a suspect in a crash that killed a woman. Alessia had tried to explain in as much detail as possible the incident although it was difficult beacuse they don't want to listen. She try to tell them that she and Roy was not the one driving the car at the time of the incident. A lawyer came to meet them and asked for all information, and said he would help them. Alessia and Roy believe him. But as it turned out, the lawyer betrayed them and manipulate the truth. Alessia was determined to remember that person's face as well but nothing work, at last she take all blame to herself even Roy is begging her not to do. But Alessia didn't listen to him because she knew she can take all this but Roy can't. Roy is a simple person not like her who know how survive with all of them.Especially considering she will be in prison for the next five years. She wasn't sure if she could get through all of this. If it was written in a novel, she was sure it would be sad. The main character who got nothing in her life. And she is the main character. Readers will pity her. Unfortunately, Alessia hated these kind of story the most. Alessia hate weakness.
Alessia held back the leg that was about to hit her face, making the person who were ganging up on her pause for a moment. "Are you finished?" Alessia said slowly. "What is this girl talking about? Continue!" Someone shouted for another kick, but Alessia immediately stop it. Alessia got up so the crowd immediately kept their distance. Alessia wiped the blood from the corner of her lip. Alessia smiled evilly. "Is this all you can do?" she said. Alessia words invited the strongest officer who looked like some gang leader, he come forward and use all his power to threw his fists. But Alessia was able to fend it off. She easily caught the big hand that was about to punch her and twisted the arm, and immediately grabbed his knees so that the person fell to his ass. The situation is now reversed. The big man tried to break free, but it was hard. He did not expect that such a small and skinny girl had such great strength to be able to withstand it. The man got angry. "What are you guys looking at? Quickly attack her!" He exclaimed. The people there came forward, but unlike before, this time Alessia did not remain silent. And without taking long, the five people had been defeated by Alessia. They were battered and on their knees begging for mercy. Alessia sat watching the people in front of her. "If I can't adapt to the circumstances, then the circumstances have to adapt to me." She mummers to herself and no one listen her, but didn't dare interrupt either. Yes, she was educated in the way of a mafia. Prison shouldn't be something that can't restrain her. Thinking of living for the next five years in a place where people endure violence, oppression or being bullied. This situation was not much different from the environment she grew up in. So Alessia decided if she really live here for next five years she will live like a boss. If it is necessary, she must rule over the whole prison, she will make conditions suitable for her. Alessia glanced back at the people who were now watching her in confusion. Alessia made a smacking gestures so everyone bowed again, trying to protect their faces with their hands. That made Alessia flash a crooked smile again. "Strong women can rule anywhere".
Inside the Damon Williams main office :-
"Is she ok?" Damon was on the phone looking out at the view of city from the office window. "Em, great. Work as usual. I am counting on you. And remember she will get free after six months, make sure to follow all her friends so I can use them against her."
As the phone hung up, someone entered the room."Here's the file you asked for." The other man said.
Damon turned his desk chair and checked the file that had just been placed on the table. "Thank you."
Seeing the person who submitted the file had not left, Damon then looked at him, giving him 'what do you want?' look.The man who is none other then Rayan, sighed and took a seat in front of Damon desk.
"I am asking this as your friend. Are you sure about your plan? Adira is nice girl, you can hire any other bodyguard Damon she is innocent."
Damon put down his file. And he gave Rayan his full attention. "I have come this far and you're still asking if I am sure? Of course. There's no turning around and going back anyway. And your favourite Adira is not much innocent as you think. She basically kick more then five train officers ass." He said slowly at the end of the sentence.
"I just want her to be my bodyguard Rayan and I am sure Adira is not even her real name".
"Yes, I know Damon but you can help her you know?"Rayan know hole Adira and Roy situation, Damon didn't plan all this he is just taking advantage of Adira situation. He make sure Adira live in prision atleast for six months.
"What if they go even further on you? and know about Adira?" Rayan remembered how Damon had been treated. Living apart from his father's house, treated differently, even forced to be kicked out five years ago.
Damon smiled evilly. "That's the reasons why I had to put this plan into action. Otherwise, they'll be acting up even more. And don't worry about Adira, she can protect herself. She is not like my step mother who is greedy but weak, she is a real women who can protect herself with her own."
Rayan took another deep breath before standing up from his chair. "Then it's up to you."
Before actually leaving the room, Rayan look towards Damon and say."I am just reminding you that revenge doesn't solve anything."
Damon knows that. But if he didn't, those people wouldn't know his mother's pain. How his father betrayed his mother, how his father and his new family treated him unfairly, and how they covered up the case of his mother's death as if it didn't need to be investigated. Yet he knew, that day, the day his five year old self found his mother lying on the floor covered in blood, he was sure that someone had killed his mother.
Five years ago he try hard to know the truth but he was probably just a helpless eighteen year old kid who can't do anything. But now, he was different. "Kicking me out would only be your greatest regret father. Williams enterprises only belongs to me and I will take everything back to you only got your bitch and her son" he mummers while looking towards his mother picture. His mother is strong and independent.
Damon smirk when he think about Adira.
"She is just like you mother, strong and independent and you know how much your son like strong women's".
Max stared at his phone absentmindedly drumming his fingers in thought against the cover of his books. Just as he decided he would call her again, his bedroom door opened as Sam poked his head in. Max stared up at his brother as he walked in and left the door ajar behind him. “Sam, are you okay?”“Hi Max,” he nodded. Sam ran his hand through his dampened dark hair, shaking water droplets from his hair as he sat down on Max’s bed. Max was just about to shove him onto the floor with his feet when his brother took a deep breath and chewed his lip in thought.Max sat up on his bed, his book forgotten and stared at his big brother. “What is it? Has something happened?”Sam shook his head, turning to face Max with a sigh. “Okay, I need to tell you something. You might not like it but I have to tell you.”“Sam, you’re worrying me. Just spit it out.” Max said, feeling a tight knot appear in his chest.“Evie asked me out.”Max stared at his brother for a moment in shock before he let out a lau
Damon looked down at his son. “Love, why don’t your mother and I come to the training center with you both tomorrow?”Max grimaced at his Dad. “No, no it’s okay. You don’t have to. I can figure something out.”“Why not? You’re not embarrassed of us are you?” Damom asked, feeling a nervous knot appear in his chest. “I know we’re not the most typical parents compared to other families, but having two working parents is a lot more common now than you might think.”Max shook his head. “Dad, it’s not that. Of course I’m not embarrassed of you or Mum. You’re my parents, I love you.” Damon smiled warmly as Max spoke, feeling the knot in his chest disappear. “It’s just that most kids don’t have their parents spying on them in their lessons.”Damon raised his eyebrows. “Who says we’re going to be spying on you? I’m sure your mum has some business to do with the center and she could need my diplomacy.”Max gave Damon a look as if to say that he saw right through Damon plan. It was a look that M
Alessia deposited Sam on the leather couch in the corner next to Max who was whimpering as he cradled his right arm to his chest. Jordon closed the door to his office and let out a breath shaking his head before slumping down in the chair behind his desk. Damon was now standing next to the couch casting worried glances at Alessia who stood looking at their sons with his arms crossed.Jordon picked up a glass and the jug of water that was sat on his desk and poured himself a drink. "Just what I needed today," He sighed before taking a sip. Damon raised his eyebrow at him."Oh, I'm sure this was exactly what you needed Jordan. But alas, this isn't about you, boy." Damon quipped folding his manicured hands in front of him. "Why don't you go and check on Paige? All this stress can't be good for her in her delicate condition."Jordon rolled his eyes and stood up, casting a cautious glance at Alessia who hadn't moved an inch. "Alright, shout if you need me." Jordon wove around his desk and
Damon woke in a sweat, his chest heaving with stuttering gasps and his heart hammering against his ribcage like a frightened bird beating its wings. He could feel his whole body trembling as his eyes darted around the darkness of the room, blindly taking in but not entirely registering the fact that it was night time and he was lying in his bed.Tiredly rubbing his eyes he tried to take in a calming breath to settle his nerves as the harsh images of his nightmare slowly faded from his mind. He had never had a dream like it nor had he felt that much terror all at once. Not even when he was a child being held underwater by his cursed stepfather.There was a quiet shuffling sound from behind Damon shortly before he felt a gentle arm curl around his waist. "Damon...are you okay?" Alessia mumbled sleepily into the back of Damom neck.Damon wove his long fingers between each of Alessia's own, lifting up his partner's hand and placing a gentle kiss on his palm. "I'm fine love. You go back to
Three days into their trip, things had been going well. The proposals that Damon and Alessia had given to the company were initially met with sceptical looks but in the end were received well and were in the process of establishing a cabinet. Alessia was pleased that things had been gotten off to a good start and with that news, Damon decided that they should get on with their trip and see some sights.Although Alessia was enjoying being alone with Damon without having much responsibilities to attend to, Alessia was missing her sons. Throughout their whole trip she'd barely heard anything that was going on with her boys, other than they were having fun and that they were safe with Chia and others. Every time she called, Alessia would ask to speak to the boys and she would spend over an hour each night talking about how their days went, whilst fighting against the tight yearning she felt constricting her chest. Damon often asked if she was okay after each call with a gentle look of con
"Who's a scrumptious, delectable baby, eh? Who is it?""Aunt, you do realise that Max isn't a baby anymore, right?" Alessia sighed from her seat at the dining table as she looked over herv aunt sitting on the couch next to a very uncomfortable Max. "And I don't think I appreciate you describing him as "cutepie" either."Aunt rolled her eyes at him as she pinched Max's cheeks. "Actually, I described him as delectable, Alessia, but you're stressed so I'll forgive your momentary lapse in memory." She turned and pulled Max into a tight hug. "Oh, little one, I could eat you up!""Grandaunt..." Max whined as he tried to wriggle away from her. He was not successful. "Why can't you bother Sam for once?""I'm sure I will once he gets home from his day out with Damon. Don't you like my hugs, little one?" Marry asked, feeling slightly affronted."Of course I do, granny, but I'm trying to read." Max pouted as he gestured to the open book in his lap. Marry looked down at the cover of the book with
