"Where the hell do you think you're going?" she asked, stepping in his way and putting her hands on Alessandro's chest. Being so close made both their hearts race, for a second they stared at each other and had to maintain their composure to be able to breathe normally, the truth was that neither of them had forgotten the memories of that passionate kiss that unleashed all that catastrophe between them."I'm just going to talk to your boss, that's all," he said with a strained voice. Georgia saw Alessandro's dilated pupils, those were definitely the most beautiful eyes she had ever known, but at the same time, they were the most enigmatic too."About what?" she furrowed her brow. "I know you, Alessandro, I know what you're capable of, and excuse me if I don't let you into my boss's office, but I have to keep my job."The man was completely confused, he really had no bad intentions, but Georgia wasn't willing to risk anything."I just want to offer him a deal," he said, clicking his to
It was a really complicated week for Georgia, the woman was extremely tired and somehow needed a break from serving tables. She didn't even feel hungry anymore with all the food she saw every day. She definitely needed to find another job soon, or else she would go crazy.Just as she arrived home, took off her shoes, and slumped onto the couch, she received a call on her phone. The caller ID didn't recognize the name, it was an unknown contact. Georgia looked at the phone for a few seconds, after everything that happened with those men who tried to kidnap her, she wasn't sure if answering was the most prudent thing to do, so she let the call go to voicemail. However, the person on the other end of the phone continued to insist, making her answer out of curiosity."Georgia, hello," said the male voice.As soon as she heard it, the hairs on the woman's body stood on end, her heart stopped, and her limbs cooled down. After so long, it was him...the same man that Alessandro hurt just beca
"It's so good to hear from you again!" Despite not wanting to seem bold, Georgia wrapped him tightly in her arms. She needed that hug, she had really missed him.The man reciprocated the gesture, holding onto Georgia's waist, breathing in the delicious scent of her perfume and letting himself be enveloped by the remnants of the feelings that still resided in his chest. Contrary to what anyone might have thought, the man's feelings had not extinguished, on the contrary, that spark of interest in her had always been present. Whenever he thought of her, whenever he wanted to find her to see how she was doing in life, and especially when he asked Valery for information in secret."You look beautiful!" When they finally parted, the man looked her up and down, and despite Georgia's beauty, there was something that left him uncertain.Georgia looked thinner than usual, the bones of her collarbone protruding, and it was clear that she had hidden a couple of bags under her eyes with makeup. Th
Georgia was very embarrassed, so despite not feeling completely well, she pretended to be better so that he could stop worrying about her. Both of them talked, kept each other company, and ate the canapés that Georgia had wanted to prepare from the beginning."Georgia, this is the last thing I'll say about it, but seriously, I hope you can consider my proposal. I know in the past I let myself be intimidated by what Alessandro could do to me, but now things are different. I don't want to leave you alone at his mercy, especially now that I've seen how much that man affects you. He is toxic, and you should try to keep him as far away from your life as possible. If I can help make that happen, then I will gladly do so."Georgia nodded her head. That invitation was definitely a complete mistake, not only because she fell apart in front of him, but also because Domenico was offering to play her prince charming, and she wasn't going to allow it."I promise I'll think about it, thank you," sh
"This is considered kidnapping, I hope you know that so you're not surprised when the police come knocking on your door because I reported you to them," Georgia exclaimed, visibly upset in the back seat of the car."I don't care what you do, not even the police could stop me," he replied, only because he knew her well enough to know she wouldn't betray him.Alessandro shoved Georgia into his car and settled her in the passenger seat. As soon as he let her go, she struggled violently to be freed, but Alessandro had other plans and wasn't going to let her thwart them. He quickly reached for a pair of handcuffs he had in the glove compartment of the car and put them on Georgia."What the hell do you plan on doing with that?" she shouted. "You can't handcuff me, Alessandro, that crosses any boundary we've established between us," she yelled, trying to reason with him.Alessandro didn't listen to any of her complaints, he simply grabbed her left hand tightly and tightened the handcuffs unt
Alessandro quickly arrived at his office, alerted by a call from one of his security men about a possible danger."What's going on?" he questioned the man as soon as he arrived at the company."We found this. The search dogs have found the device," the security man placed a deactivated bomb on Alessandro's desk.The man quickly inspected the object. The timer had stopped just ten seconds before it was due to explode. This did not bode well for the leader of the New York mafia."Where was it?""Sir, it was in the east wing of the basement, right below your office. It's clear what their target was.""It was me," Alessandro said, running his hands through his hair as he thought about how to manage the security of his men.The past few weeks had been the most difficult he had had in a long time. He had received threats, envelopes with pictures of his son and Georgia, and losses at the hands of his enemies. Two of his closest men had died in crossfire. There was going to be bloodshed, and
"Sir, don't go over there!" one of Alessandro's men said, trying to protect him."It's not the time for cowardice," Alessandro whispered, willing to do what was necessary to at least keep one of his enemies' heads.The truth was that Alessandro was worried about a possible weakening of his organization, something he couldn't allow to happen, not with everything he had risked before...everything that was at stake.In complete caution and using the sound of the constant gunfire, Alessandro descended the stairs to the first floor of the building, where he was told the leaders of the enemy organization were located. He had to find them, no matter what.As he reached the basement, the man didn't hear anything, everything was in complete silence, they were probably hiding, he thought, while checking the perimeter.One of Alessandro's most loyal men, who warned him not to go in that direction, followed him only to make sure his boss was okay.Alessandro saw him and nodded his head, signaling
The truth was that after weeks of turbulence, the last thing Alessandro wanted was to have to make an effort to hide his feelings that were clearly there because of her and everything she brought out in him. The man had spent too much time contemplating what was right, whether he should let her go, whether she was safer with or without him. Alessandro had questioned his situation with Georgia too much, but it seemed there was no right answer to his dilemma. Every time he tried to distance himself, a voice within him compelled him to do the opposite. He loved her, no matter how dangerous it might be.Putting the situation in perspective, that cheap excuse of wanting to protect Georgia by staying away from her was nothing more than a pretext fueled by his fears. Alessandro knew he could take care of her, knew he had the ability to protect her from any danger. He would not allow anything bad to happen to one of his own, especially someone like her who had already suffered the consequence
