ISABELLA’S POVAs I ran out of my room, I bumped into a hard chest and I froze into it. Knowing it would be no one else but Alessandro, “oh sorry I hadn’t seen you come this way...” I quickly mumbled, too embarrassed to look up.“Aren’t you leaving my body? Look, I know I am very handsome and it’s easy to fall in love with me but don’t...” I heard him say. It was then that it occurred to me I was still glued to his body. Shit! I jumped away, totally flushed.“Me? fall in love with you?” I scoffed with disgust.“Should we check?” he dropped shocking me further.Before I could say another word, he had me pinned to the wall and worst of it all, he has his eyes fixed on me all these while. I could have sunk into the ground or probably vanished if I had the power. I was going to act tough and match his gaze without flinching but as I stared right back at him, I realized one shocking fact. I have feelings for him!Once I discovered this, I slipped through under his arms and dashed off with
ALESSANDRO’S POV“Let her be. “I told Dominique when he wanted to go bring Isabella down for breakfast. I guess she was still shaken from the previous night and would probably feel awkward having breakfast me.With her absent, the room was quiet as we ate in silence saying nothing but few words amongst us. The past few days, I had always looked forward to eating breakfast because of Isabella. She rattled a lot, if her mouth wasn’t busy with chewing food, then she was talking.At first I didn’t like it as I enjoyed quietness and enjoyed eating in silence. The major part of my life, if it wasn’t while I’m working, I ate alone in silence but since she came into my life, I suddenly craved for some noise while I ate.And that morning as I ate, I was reminded of the thought that hit me the previous night.Again, I shook it off and focused on my food.If there was something I was perfect in, it was handling my emotions, knowing when to let them show and when to completely shove them under t
DOMINIQUE’S POVHearing that boss was going to rescue one of his gang members made me felt bad. He forgot how he was trapped and almost killed by one of them.How could he go knowing his life was at stake? And no matter what I tell him, he was adamant and still went on. But that night he returned safely but not alone.“Dominique, this is Mattia, Mattia, Dominique.” he introduced me to the new guy.The new guy was annoyingly well built too and flashed me a smile which I intentionally ignored.I felt so mad within me that I would have sent a punch across boss’s face if he hadn’t once saved my life.He swore to never let the location of this place be known by another man yet he brings this man. This man could be a trap but he wouldn’t hear of it.“Erm,”The new man was on the verge of starting a new conversation when Alessandro headed in but I quickly started to head inside leaving him standing.“Follow me.” I murmured as I walked past him.I took him to one of the guest rooms, pushed th
ALESSANDRO’S POV“Have you been checking the security connections?” I asked Dominique as we were having dinner.“Yes boss, everything is calm for now.”Earlier in the day, we had a security breech.That damned Lorenzo. It must be him. What length won’t he go to get to me. Thankfully, we managed to bring it under control before they could hack into any of our appliances.“Who is behind him now...”It couldn’t have been Antonio, chief Giovanni’s computer man. The Antonio I worked with wouldn’t be able to do this easily. Chief must have hired a new hacker. The thought of this means they were closer in reaching to me if I don’t maintain a strong security. What if no one had been around to hear the warning beep? We could have been hacked into. Anything could have happened. The thought of it worried me. whoever this new hacker is, he must be deep into this.“But, how did they manage to get the access in the first place?” I questioned the two men before me.“He must have made a call outside
WRITER’S POVOutside, the air was brisk and moist. The sun has already begun to set in the sky and inside, on a medium-sized bed lay Isabella. Soft moans at intervals escaped her lips and her snore, light and soft filtered in the room. She felt a sharp pain in her head as she rolled to the other end of the bed. Then she tried to open her eyes but her eyelids felt heavy. She managed to force them open only to be hit by the rays of the sunlight straying into the room.“Aarhg shit...my head...” She groaned as she forced herself to sit up on the bed. She wondered why her head was aching her that much.She felt her throat dry and dragged herself out of bed towards the refrigerator where she took out a bottle of water but as she made to lift the bottle and drink from it, a flash of memory hit her.She froze.“No, that can’t be. What is this...” she reeled back in shock and collapsed to the bed as the memories started to rear up, in fragment until it fully clicked in her head.“Oh no... wha
ISABELLA’S POV“Buongiorno!”“Good morning everyone!”I greeted everyone with smiles.“Good morning...” Dominique’s brow rose.“Buongiorno... Ms Isa...bella...” Mattia’s eyes lit up with surprise.They all stared at me both surprised and confused at the same time. Even I would stare at myself in confusion if I was them. I mean it was just yesterday I locked myself up in my room and neither came out nor said a word to anyone and this morning I am here grinning from ear to ear and serving them breakfast. Well don’t ask me what happened next after I got rejected because even I can’t tell how I managed to find my way back to my room nor what happened to me asides that I managed to find myself in my bed afterwards.Alessandro’s door opened and he walked out.“Boss,” Dominque and Mattia greeted and he nodded to their greetings.“You are awake! Come on, have a sit and a hot steamy breakfast coming up!” I flashed him a big smile and hurried off to the kitchen.Once I got into the kitchen I ex
ALESSANDRO’S POVLike I expected, Isabella didn’t join us for breakfast the next morning after her drunk act. I could imagine her hitting her head on the wall the moment the scene of the night get clear in her head.How could she even let herself drink when even a mere sip is enough to get her drunk.“She was cute though...” a thought popped up in my head. I could still imagine her saying those words. I shook my head to push the thoughts away.“Let her be...” I stopped Dominique from going to bring her to the dining for breakfast.She would have to feel awkward if she came. “Take some food to her, Mattia...”The whole day and the next, she completely avoided me. Then one morning, she suddenly busted into my room as I was stepping out of the washroom.For seconds she stood dazed without saying a word but when she finally jerked back to the moment, she said to me the words I had feared to hear again. I thought she had come to apologize for the night but she had come to confess her feel
ISABELLA’S POVI woke up with a banging headache.I let out a soft painful groan and forced myself up then I rolled out of bed, walked to the fridge and downed a bottle of water.I tried to remember what has happened the previous night. I don’t remember walking to my room and getting into bed after the party. Had I left before the party was finished?Last I remember was when Mattia had asked me for a dance and later on Dominique asked me for a dance too. To get my thoughts on Alessandro off, I had tried to spice my dance up and gulped a large amount of alcohol.“Oh shit!!” I groaned. Knowing how silly I act when drunk, I fear I might have done something else.I sighed and sat down on my bed. What could I have done this time? Why can’t I remember anything else after that?Well, none of that would matter anymore after today.I walked out of my room to the kitchen where I made breakfast.“It’s breakfast time!!” I walked to their different rooms and woke them. They must be wasted from the
