- Chapter 11: Date & Diner - Natalia's P.O.V After leaving the gym I decided just to go for a walk in the garden to clear my head and hopefully remove every thought of Alessandro. I hated myself for the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about him. No matter how hard I tried to forget his smiles and his eyes I knew they'd stay in my mind until the end of time. What was it about him? Was it the way he said my name? Was it the way he stared?

- Chapter 13: Torture & Needs - "Where is he?" I asked entering the room once again after I changed my clothes. "You can't see him right now." My mother told me as Alessandro walked inside the room in a new change of clothes. "How did this even happen?" "Your father sent him to handle a shipment but he was ambushed on the way, the person attacked him...and now he won't wake up." I closed my eyes letting out a breath to steady myself. "Did you find the person who did this?" My father nodded. "Where are they?"

- Chapter 15: Fallen & American - When Alessandro went to Italy, it gave Natalia more time to think about her feelings for him and whether or not it was more sexual than emotional but she knew she wouldn't have time to sit and think as she had many things to do during the day. - Natalia laid back in her chair as the man came out of the shower, she was waiting for him to open the door as she held her gun in her hand. It didn't take a minute for the man to open the door, he stood in his towel eyes widened in shock as he saw her sitting a few feet away from him, "Hello Michael, it's been what...3 weeks?" "Natalia, I don't have the money." She sighed checking the time on the Rolex on her wrist which was actually his. "I don't have time for your lies, this watch looks awfully expensive for a man with your salary." "It was a gift from my sister.

- Chapter 17: Like & Eric - "So, are you going to tell me what's really happening?" Alessandro asked softly, kissing her neck. Her hands gripped his shirt, loving how his lips felt. "There is nothing to tell." She told him, he sighed pulling away making her frown. "Natalia we both know that's not true."  "What do you want me to tell you? That I'm not in love with my fiance? That I'm not engaged? Because I am Alessandro, and you need to accept it." He placed both hands on either side of her legs, entrapping her. "If you're so in love with your fiance why are you here with me?" Natalia stayed silent letting him continue

- Chapter 19: Sailor & Siren - Natalia woke up to feathery kisses against her neck, "Good morning." She grumbled softly catching his attention as he leaned up meeting her eyes.  "Good morning beautiful," Alessandro whispered with a bright smile, brushing her soft hair away from her eyes. "What time is it?" Natalia leaned into his warmth as he answered her question. "9." She groaned knowing they would have to get up soon. "My mother likes to come in unannounced, it's only a matter of time before she comes to-" He halts her sentence with a kiss, her hands moved up his back pulling him closer to her.
