" I think that's a really good idea, sweetheart. You should go for it! I have never seen you doing any such activities and I would want you to do it in your new school I would encourage you to go for it!"
Alizah's father was optimistic about her daughter getting immersed in extracurricular activities. He wanted nothing but Alizah to have all the fun of high school life that he always wanted her to have but because of certain responsibilities which Alizah took upon herself from a very young age, her school life has never been really fun.
" Are you sure? Because I have never done anything think as such in the past and doing something new doesn't quite come under my enjoyment level."
" Aliza how would you come to know about what you're capable of and what you're not if you're not even ready to try something new? You need to get out of your comfort zone to find and try something that tells your true prospect. You are very talented and you can do anything. But you are not meant to be doing these part-time jobs all your life. I want you to have a wonderful life, as you deserve!"
Her father's every word made absolute sense. Alizah surely was a very precious girl. She worked very hard and when compared to other teenagers of her age, she was far better than any one of them in her way.
" Okay dad, I'm willing to give the audition for the same but I needed to get your opinions on it."
Although it was Ronan who was driving Alizah to get into the cheerleading team but now Alizah, after hearing her father's opinions on it was thinking of doing it for him. Moreover, she wasn't sure if she was capable of doing it or not but her father's sanguinity was having its effect on Alizah.
"I'm glad Alizah that you even considered giving auditions for the cheerleading team because I think you are competent for the purpose. Look at you! You are so beautiful, you do everything with so much grace and I am damn sure that they would have no other option than making you the head cheerleader for the team."
His words made Alizah laugh because she knew her father was only overvaluing her esteem but that didn't mean that Alizah wasn't capable of it. If determined, she could do everything! But only she needed to find her true potential to be able to know of the power she possessed.
The next day in School Alizah didn't want to encounter Ronan and tell him that she was finally going to do what he wanted her to do! It's not like she was doing it all for him or because of his manipulation but she agreed to do so for her father's sake.
Before even entering the school building, Ronan's bike blocks Alizah's way and she was startled because of the sudden incident.
"Oh my god, Ronan! What are you doing!? I might have got injured really badly. You know, you should sometimes use your eyes to focus on other things except gawking on your targets."
Alizah shouted at him and Ronan removed the helmet from his head. The day hasn't even started and he was here to pester Alizah. The only thought she had was, 'what offense did I commit that I have to deal with such a brat like him!'
" And what do you think I was doing, sweetheart? Don't you think I used my eyes well to gawk on my target and when I can do it pretty smartly then why else would I need to focus on any other thing?"
Ronan shrugged his shoulders while asking the stupid questions and Alizah couldn't do anything but rolled her eyes. She wanted to get away from that place but it was Ronan with whom she was struggling, it wasn't easy at all to get rid of him.
"Very smart! Now please get away from my way and let me go to school peacefully. I don't want you to ruin my day again."
She said and started walking, hoping that Ronan wouldn't follow her or stop her from going somewhere else. But even she knew it was like a dream come true! Ronan could never easily let her go, it wasn't easy for her to get rid of him! Fate had factual plans for them and for the sake of it, their paths will always cross, again and again until their stars combine.
"Okay let me give you a ride to the school!"
He offered his helmet to Alizah by saying so and she laughed at it.
"Are you crazy? Can't you see, school is just five feet apart from where we're outstanding? you really think I would like to sit on your bike for this Crazy short distance?"
"Oh! so you want to sit on my bike for a long-distance ride? Well, that's alright with me as well! Whenever you are free, sweetheart!"
He said with a wink and dramatically trying to look adorable in front of her, only to pester her further.
"Forget it! I don't want to engage in a debate with you this early in the morning. You can visualize delusional things and I would not get into your mind games to give you the satisfaction of winning. I would not be engaging in any kind of conversation with you, so please let me go now!"
Alizah passed him a fake smile, wanting him to let her go politely but Ronan Morris never understood the meaning of politeness.
"Okay, whatever you say, sweetheart!"
He followed Alizah inside the school campus and it pissed every bit of her that she had to deal with all the eyes that were set on her because of being the center of attraction for Ronan Morris, it meant being the center of attraction for the whole school and Alizah did not want this and not especially like the way it was all happening.
"So did you think about it, what we talked about last day?"
Ronan's question made Alizah nervous. She wasn't sure if she should admit that she was going to do this thing. And most of all, she was nervous that how she would convince him that she wasn't doing it for him but her father. He would not listen to anything after hearing yea from her mouth which is what he wanted to. He wanted to win every battle, he wanted to be victorious over everything that would make Alizah suffer. And that's what Alizah had thoughts about him. She perfectly knew what his mind craved for, what his intentions were. He was one evil guy with a lot of Evil thoughts in his mind and she needed to evade those thoughts, it was only possible when she stays away from him.
"Even if I say yes to it, I am pretty sure that I will not be selected in the team because you know, I have never performed this in my entire life and I don't think anyone would like to give me any kind of position in the team, let go of becoming the head cheerleader."
She said with a sarcastic, fake smile. And for some reason, that sarcastic smile always managed to make Ronan chuckle. He got influenced by it very easily every time she did so.
"Trust me you don't have to worry about it, sweetheart. I have got it all covered for you. I knew you would say yes to it and I have made all the preparations to benefit you!"
His eyes shone with some excitement and Alizah was sure that his preparations meant nothing but only more trouble for her.
"Well, there is confidence, there is overconfidence, and then there is 'Ronan Morris!' You getting my point, right?"
Alizah wanted to say it as a slur but he didn't seem to be unnerved by it as he chuckled even more and chuckles... They were damn annoying for Alizah it's like someone was making a screeching noise in her ear she wanted nothing more but to get away from that voice.
"Call it whatever you want but Ronan Morris never comes underprepared."
He said, making himself sound grand!
"So what exactly is this your preparation that would benefit me?"
She asked.
" I have got someone to train you to become the best cheerleader at Avalon high at the moment."
Alizah's eyes widened she hasn't been expecting Ronan to bring her a teacher that would be actually beneficial for her! She hasn't thought that Ronan would think that deeply into the matter, he was surely determined to make Alizah do this. And it only worried her, even more, to think about what intentions he might have behind it.
" But why would you do that and who is this teacher you have got for me?"
She asked.
"Well, I already told you the reason I want you to get accepted as the head of the cheerleading team so that explains why I am doing this. And as for the teacher, it's my ex-girlfriend Cynthia that would be training you. She is the best cheerleader any high schooler of our batch has ever seen."
Ronan said it as a means to show off about his ex-girlfriend and Alizah didn't want to focus on that fact but for some weird reason it affected her and even she was unaware of it.
Enzo and Duke performed as a good team and it didn't take them much time, finishing off half of Alantino's men. Even I hadn't expected that, I thought the night was gonna be end of us, it wasn't like, I didn't trust Enzo's strength but one could never underestimate Alantino too."Do you think, we can help them in anyway?"Chloe asked me."You think?"I said, gazing at the direction of those tall and muscular men. We wouldn't stand even a second."But we have to do something, we can't let them fight. They are so many and Enzo and Duke are gonna get tired up soon. We can't wait for that moment."Chloe stated as a matter of fact. She was right we couldn't just stand there and wait for men to complete their fighting. I was thinking of calling in the hotel to ask them to send more men when a car reached the spot and all of us were confused because, no-one took their ass in the direction where Russo and Amato were. Not in the sit
We exercised for two long hours and it was 9:00 am now, leaving me an hour to get ready for work. I took a long hot shower bath, the exercising session was too exhausting for me. I took my time getting ready and when I was done, I checked my reflection for one last time in the mirror. It was a habit. Being punctual, exactly at ten, Enzo knocked the door and I opened it. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded. "You only come to Rexivo to drop me and then you leave. You don't have to do that." I said as Enzo only go there to drop me and he only left once was took me to my office. He wasn't my driver, I couldn't expect that from him. "Don't worry about that. I do things that I am supposed to do and it's okay." He said not letting his emotionless mask off. I couldn't comment on that, it was Enzo and he wouldn't let me win. I walked out of the room and he followed me after closing the door. "I'll be leaving hotel soo
Enzo took a seat beside me and across Duke. Chloe and I watched him in utter shock, as he didn't even cared to explain his sudden appearance and even Duke was calm on his seat. After settling down, he looked at my bewildered face and smiled."Would you bother to explain your sudden appearance?"I questioned."I called Duke to check on everything, he told me you were planning to dine here, so I came to join you."Enzo answered."What about Genoa? You didn't you go there today?"I asked."No, Valerie I don't go there everyday. I have businesses to attend in Milan too."He said simply and that's when I realised he must also have his illegal businesses going on in here. The waitress served us food and I was happy that Enzo joined us for dinner but I was cursing Duke in my mind for telling everything to Enzo. Of course, Enzo cared for me for his own reasons but I was capable of looking after myself. We ate our food quiet
"That's a great news, Chloe."I said and there was a big grin on her mouth."I should call Enzo, first."I said and Cloe handed me the cordless phone, she was holding. But I kept it back on it's place because I wanted to call him from my personal number and for some reason it fascinated me to talk to him on phone, with my personal number. Crazy, wasn't I? I took out my phone from my handbag and was about to call him when the door flew open and Enzo's tall, muscular, beautiful body walked in. There was this formal look on his face which made him look all the more gorgeous. I pushed the thoughts aside. He was only my boss, in a way as he was letting me handle his hotel, nothing else... Right?He looked at me and said,"Congratulations on your first big achievement."He said and smiled. This time the smile reached his eyes that meant he was genuinely happy."Well, our achievement."I corrected him and he chuckled. 
"I loved it."I admitted to Enzo and he was still standing at the door, observing my expressions."I'm glad you liked it, but I'll take my leave here. Your assistant Chloe Winthrop will help you in everything. Also I'll be returning late today, so I have asked one of my best soldiers to not leave your side until I am back. He is standing outside."He told me and I peeked out to find a tall, muscular man, dressed in formals with a straight body posture, standing beside the door. He was as tall as Enzo, but I still didn't believe anyone or rely on anyone as much as I did on Enzo. But it was good to know that he cared for me and assigned me a personal bodyguards to my service. If he wanted he wouldn't have bothered about my life. He wanted to play games with his enemies and anyone could have done the help for him if not me. But it felt so good to know that he actually cared for me."Have a safe trip. I'll do fine here."I assured him and h
I panicked under Enzo's hand and he looked at me, I was petrified and nervous. Enzo followed my gaze and his grip on my shoulder tighten. Alantino made his way towards us with an unreadable face. I thought it wouldn't take me much efforts to face him, I thought I have mustered that much courage but somewhere I was wrong and for a second I thought of running away from there. But there was no turning back now, I had to face him, of I had to survive here and most importantly, to seek my revenge. I would only survive in peace, once I'd made sure that none of my adversaries, rest in peace."I suppose you have your hand on my property."Alantino said with a cold smirk to Enzo and then looked at me and the small hairs on my neck rose."Well, she is no one's property."Enzo said, pulling me towards him and exerting the more pressure in the word:property."You can't stay that close to her, she is my wife."Alantino stated as he tried to g
I took a sigh of relief as the delivery guy handed me my order.I closed door and leaned against it, I wasn't sure what had made me this scared for opening the door but the relief I felt was equivalent as someone as removed a tons of weight from my back. I took the pizza and after pouring myself a glass of juice, I sat on the couch and ate it while watching TV. They were showing the Harry Potter series, the Voldemort was troubling the little boy. But Harry was able to muster the power to win upon the evil. I ate my pizza, watching the same movie, I had watched a tons of time. It was still fun to watch it. I ate my last slice of pizza and was already full to have the desert I ordered for myself. I was feeling dizzy but did not wanted to go to my room I decided on watching the TV until I could and eventually felt asleep in the couch, was too languid to switch off the TV.I don't know what time it was when I felt something moving and my body felt a lot more lighter. T
"Okay. I understood and I will contact Williams personally tomorrow."I said."Yeah but I would prefer you contact his right hand first and don't directly ask them to stay at our hotel. That will sound creep."He said as if I didn't knew that."Okay."I nodded."Don't you think you should be good at physical training as well. I will surely provide you a body guard but you should learn self defence too. As you would be the first mafia woman to run mob business."Enzo suggested and he was right. Once the legal proceedings were done I would have many adversaries who would try to get their hands on me. I wouldn't be some general girl, they would think of me as an equivalent enemy as Enzo."When can we start my self defence training?"I asked."Tomorrow morning but for now, the lawyer is coming to get our signatures on the lease, she had already taken from the other partners. Tomorrow the
It was sunny but all windy weather in the terrace and a good amount of people were having lunch there but it still barely filled only the half of the tables . Maybe, people mostly preferred having food in their suites."Come let's go there."Enzo pointed at a table which was decorated beautifully like it was arranged for a date."Isn't it reserved?"I asked him because maybe it was for some couple, why would they decorate it heavily, everyday."The reservation was cancelled."He said looking at his tab and then he pushed it toward me to take a look. There were rows and columns in the screen telling the table numbers and those who reserved or cancelled it."Hmm ...Quite a managerial work."I admitted.He smiled and we went towards the table and sat down, the smell of hyacinth and roses was exquisite and one can sit there until they fade. It wouldn't take long though. A woman approached us as soon as we settled on the table,
