The Mafia Lord's Captive 34.
Alessia My eyes scanned the beautiful office that has all sorts of fashion patterns design, wall art, and awards. "You haven't met the woman yet, but you're sweating already." I glared at Marco who had been chewing gum and pressing on his phone since our arrival at Mrs. Martinez's office. "I am not sweating. Mind your business." I hissed out. I don't even know why Angelo chose him. Of all people. Kelvin or Elijah would've been better. Not a big mouth like Marco. Who can't stop teasing me about last night in the car."Save your sweat for your hot night with Angelo later." This time around I didn't hold myself back. I lunged my fist on his back resulting in a chuckle to erupt from him. "I will have Angelo deal with you when we get back."He lifted his shoulder in a shrug. "He can't do shit. Why is the woman taking time to show up? We have been here for more than ten minutes." Marco glanced at the closed door. I knew Marco was right. I hadn't met the woman but I was already nervous. I

Alessia Up to the moment Angelo released his hold on me and turned me around to face him, my body was still weak. I didn't expect his question. Heck, the thought of going back home has not crossed my mind lately. Going back home means I will be with my family. I won't have to be chained down in one place filled with dangerous people. I will finally be freed. And will go back to my normal life. Why then do weakness and bitterness come with the feeling of freedom? It was what I've always wanted right? I searched Angelo's eyes for any sign that would show he was only joking around. But the expression on his face itself was confusing to me. I couldn't put a finger on what was going on in his head. Only the fact that his eyes were bloodshot. "Do you mean your words?" I asked in a low voice wanting to be so sure I heard him correctly.He nodded his head with a weak smile which I didn't fail to notice. "Yes, Alessia. I want to set you free. What you've always wanted. To return home to your

AlessiaI kept reminding myself that I didn't care about Angelo. He can do whatever he wants to do and I can do whatever I want to do. What I cared about at the moment was the project I was working on. It's been two days already since our last conversation. Some part of me expected him to run over to me or act as if the conversation didn't take place. But what happened was beyond my expectations. Angelo didn't even care about my existence. He acted as if I wasn't even there. The rest of the guys noticed. They knew something was up but no one wants to tell me the fuck that was going on with him. How he changed overnight. I had decided to work my ass off and make sure the fashion runway was a success, when I get paid, I will leave his fucking house. Just like Marco has been doing two days ago, he picked me up from Mrs. Martinez's fashion industry after we had gone through some budget and plans regarding how the event would be. They were right when they said the woman was short-tempered

Angelo"Are you going to let her leave just like that?" A furious Marco busted through the door."Not now, Marco," I said as calmly as I could muster busying myself with arranging my desk which wasn't messy. I just needed something to distract me with whatever shit Marco may have running in his brain."What exactly is wrong with you, Angelo?""It's boss for you Marco. Address me with respect!" I spat, looking up at him with all seriousness in my eyes. Marco was taken aback. The way his eyes were widened to a certain degree showed he wasn't expecting my outburst. I was also surprised at my behavior for the past two days. It was hard to keep on a facade you're not used to.A scoff mixed with an annoyed chuckle found its way out of him. "I now understand why you're all alone, Angelo. You don't care about other people's feelings but yourself. You made her fall for you, gave her hope and now you're sending her away as if nothing happened between you two. I didn't know you were this selfish

AlessiaKissing Angelo had never felt so passionate and scary at the same time as it did at that moment. I am not an emotional wreck person. When my first boyfriend left me, it didn't break me that much. But the cold treatment from Angelo had messed up my heart. I know what I feel for him was genuine. I didn't expect to fall for him in such a way. But here I was, holding on to his shirt, not wanting to let go. Wanting the kiss to continue for eternity. Wishing so badly for him to tell me to stay. A lone tear slid down my cheeks as I gripped his shirt more tightly deepening the kiss. I gave him every entrance to explore my lips. However, that was short-lived when Angelo suddenly pulled away, leaving me craving more of the kiss. More of his touch. "Take care of yourself."His farewell settled in my head with a resounding beating of my chest. His face was away from me. I wished so badly that I would see his face clearly for the last time. To have it stored in my brain for the rest of th

Alessia "Can you move the banner a bit higher, please? So it won't fall off while the models are walking out." I said to one of Mrs. Martinez's staff that was assigned to me to assist me. I watched as everything unfolded. The fashion runaway was finally coming to light. The team and I had worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect. From planning to getting things done. I was proud of myself for coming this far. It wasn't an easy decision to make but I was glad I got the chance to do what I love. There were days that I wanted to give up because of Mrs. Martinez's pressure on changing plans at the last minute. I doubted that maybe I wasn't good enough for her. Maybe it was because Angelo and her husband were friends which was why she chose me. However, as time went on, I discarded any negativity out of my head and did my best to make it the way she wanted. And now, standing in front of the open space ground, I realized how much of a challenge it was for me. How much I brok

AlessiaExhausted yet excited, I finally stepped out of the airport terminal, my trolley clattering along behind me. A sharp breath escaped my lips as I took in the sight before me, my eyes wide with disbelief. Italy. I was actually in Italy, and what's more, the trip wasn't putting a dent in my bank account. Winning this all-expenses-paid journey was a dream come true, even if Italy wasn't exactly my top bucket-list destination. Still, the attraction of the country had always held a special place in my heart, thanks to the countless pictures I'd seen on the news and social media.Just as I let the thrill of the moment wash over me, my phone rang, jolting me from my reverie. With a smile tugging at my lips, I swiped to answer, holding the phone to my ear. "Hey Mom," I greeted, my voice a mix of excitement and fatigue. "I've arrived safely. Don't worry, I'll fill you in on everything once I'm settled in my hotel room. Give Dad a hug for me. Love you, Mom."Before she could respond, I q

Alessia"How... how do you know me?" I managed to whisper, my voice trembling, the question hanging in the air like an unspoken promise. There was something inexplicable in the way our gazes had locked, as though an invisible thread connected us, binding me to this enigmatic man who now held my destiny in his hands.But he didn't answer. Instead, he turned his attention back to his phone and began speaking in rapid Italian, words that slipped through my grasp like elusive whispers. My heart quickened when I heard him mention something about bringing women. I clenched the hem of my dress, my fingers trembling. Perhaps he assumed I couldn't understand Italian. This could be my chance, my only chance.As the journey stretched on, every minute felt like an eternity. Panic coiled within me as the car continued to speed through unfamiliar territory. We had been driving for more than an hour, and my heart raced with uncertainty.Suddenly, breaking through the tense silence, the man turned to
