Allegra's pov;What was I thinnking? For the treatment to change since the time I was sold? Who was I kidding? It's been only a few days since that incident and to think anything would have changed was the biggest mistake I made. Coming back into Vincenzo's mansion hadn't been in my thoughts when I remained in a cage days back, with the hope that I could possibly see something decent to eat. Who would have thought that now, I'd be back but under certain terms? Terms and conditions that were very much absurd to me but I counted it as paying Vincenzo for the help he had rendered and the sacrifice he made. Was risking the life of my baby worth it, you'd ask but it was a question I reallly didn't want to dwell much on at the moment. I huffed, picking up what seemed to be one of Layla's hundreds of clothes amongst the babaric collection she had. I had thought getting back into this mansion on the first day, tha things would continue to be the same since I was left to be by myself but
Vincenzo's Pov;"I believe the reason behind your slow recovery and the signs you've beeen showing to the medicines are as a esult of her absence. I say it's best we bring her back and dispose of her after your recovery."Giovanni's explanation wasn't making sense but neither was I ready to call him out about it. But then, was I really going to? I couldn't specifically get out the image of the helpless woman I sold for a thousand dollars- the look in her eyes that pleaded and callled out to me, asking for me to reconsider but being the person I was, blinded by rage at her refusal of me, I chose to turn a blind eye instead. Ever since then, guilt ate away at me, and every time I managed to close my eyes, it was her face that kept reappearing in front of me, as if to tell me of the offense I committed. "Fine. I'll tell my investigator to find out where she is."Was I doing this because she meant I had a cahnce in getting back my legs or was it just my feelings? Feelings that decided
Allegra's pov; Have I been anticipating Vincenzo's appearance in Alpha Alex's mansion? If you ask me, then my answer was a 'no' while hiding my face in my hands, trying not to show how sweaty my palms were. Yeah right! Perfect way to show I wasn't nervous! Not even one bit. Even the clouds seemed to be mocking me with how dark they got while I peered out the window. I just wanted everything to be over and done with! This was the main thing I kept telling myself while I basked in the insanity of having to wait. How was Giovanni going to get Vincenzo here in any way? It wasn't really making much sense to me now but I knew sooner, it was all going to come together. Sighing for what was supposed to be the twentieth time, I was quick to clean up, hiding my growing belly as best as I could. Once again, I was grateful to Alpha Alex for stocking these big maternity gowns in the wardrobe he gave to me. Had he gone out of his way to pick all of those by himself? Since my short
Allegra's pov; "Ooooh!" I stretched on the soft bed beneath me, pleased that I was able to sleep and wake without interruptions. How long had it been since I've had a proper rest? This took me back to the time I spent in Vincenzo's mansion, reminding me of how I had to be woken with water being poured over me, loud banging on the door, or having the blanket on my body being pulled away harshly. None of these had been pleasing so far and each time, it only got worse, where I was being tormented by such acts. The warmth of the sun on my face was a quick reminder of where I was. Immediately, I moved out of bed, holding my forehead slightly while trying to organise the things I should do today. I stared around me, at the unfamiliar room and realised I didn't have to do the usual. I didn't have to be scared of doing the things I used to do, where I always had the fear of not knowing what I might be asked to do or at the same time, what kind of misfortune was going to befal
Allegra's pov; Of all the things I expected Alpha Alex to say, this wasn't part of it. Hos request had thrown me off to the point that I staggered back, hastily grabbing onto the side of a couch to stop myself from falling. Even so, my grip was light and wasn't tight, while I helplessly slipped. I was glad to fall on another couch, my butt hitting it softly and leaving me to only grunt. At least, it was better than falling to the floor and causing harm to myself and even the child in my stomach. "No. Something else would do," immediately, I declined , already shaking my head and refusing. He watched me, with no sort of emotion in his eyes, only looking calmly as if he had other plans. "That is the only thing I'm requesting for as payback. Or is fifty thousand dollars not enough to get your service?" he asked again, this time, his gaze more penetrating than before. I stared back at him, not saying a word and choosing to go with the silence. After some time of
Allegra's pov; I expected all sorts of things to happen to me today but not the good ones. I didn't even dream of having a warm shower or warm clothes I'd be comfortable in, without feeling the need to hide my body or be scared anyone was going to find out. I could have sworn the clothes I found in the wardrobe had all been specifically bought for me if only this wasn't a huge mansion filled with different and numerous rooms, with picture frames of a female decorating the living room. Much to my displeasure, I had seen no one to ask about who the female was. How special was she for her framed picture to be hung on the walls of an Alpha who reeked of power? His violet orbs were just enough to put a child in a nightmares and yet, of all other things to decorate his huge house, he had only chosen to use the picture of a female. A fabulous way to tell everyone how special she was to him. But thinking about it, wasn't someone whose line of business or whatnot was just like
