Chapter 41It's been seven months since Lisa and Alessandro got married. Things have been going great between them. The day after they were married, Alessandro took her to Greece for two weeks when they got to know each other better. They spent many hours naked and just enjoying each other. However, they also did go sightseeing and spent lots of time at the beach or in the pool. Grandpa stayed with them until after Christmas and promised to come and visit again. Lilani is now speaking Italian like a pro. Alessandro and the guys learned Afrikaans. They struggled in the beginning, but after a few months, they finally nailed it. Marna and Jake exchanged numbers at the wedding and now talk every single day. He even flew down to South Africa a few times to visit her. Johnny and Aurora still haven't confessed their feelings for each other. They pretend they don't like each other to everyone's frustration. Kevin is still single saying he's not ready for commitment and enjoys his bachelor li

Chapter 43Everyone came. Alessandro had Lisa's family come with his private jet. His family and their friends, everyone came. Sadly this is the day of Lisa's funeral. Minutes later, three limousines arrive at the mansion. Everyone steps in side the limousines. Alessandro and Sophia have triplets with them. Alessandro dreads this day. He wishes Lisa was here with him and the boys. How will he raise them without her? How must he continue without her? He never thought he would love someone as much as he loves Lisa. She was his sunshine during the stormy dark days in his life. She's the reason he wakes up every morning, but now it all seems impossible without her by his side.The family arrived at the funeral location where the funeral would take place. The atmosphere not only looks gloomy but feels gloomy. Everywhere he looks there are no smiles. “I hate this. Why did she have to die.” Alessandro was tough as he went to sit in front. The flowers are white Lilies, as this was Lisa's fav

Chapter 45A few months after her funeral, everything seemed lifeless for him. The house felt empty without Lisa's presence. Alessandro could smell her everywhere and still can. In the kitchen and their bedroom. The pillows cover everything smells of Lisa.After that day he saw the SUV outside the graveyard he phoned Johnny to tell him, but Johnny just told him he imagines that he was seeing things. Maybe he's right he needs to focus on the children instead of making assumptions about who visits the graveyard.Alessandro sits in his office looking outside from where he can see Rome. What is life if you lost the one person who made life worth living?“Mr. Mancini?” He slowly turns around and looks at Leonardo. He has been quieter than ever. It's starting to worry the people close to him. Alessandro has been walking around the house and office like a ghost.“Yes?” Alessandro replied.“It's been three months, Sir, and we are worried about you. You must...”“Yes, it's been three months sin

Chapter 47Everyone sits around the dining table curious why Alessandro wants to talk to them so urgently. “Ali!” Lilani greets him as soon as he enters the dining room. “Hey, little one.” He went and kissed her on the head then looked around the table and noticed everyone he cares about is there. “Thank you, Maria, this looks delicious.” Maria smiles at her boss. This was one of Lisa's favorite Lisa has shown her how to make “vetkoek” and mince. No one talks during dinner, everyone is wondering what Alessandro wants to say.After dinner, Alessandro asks them to follow him to the living room. “Thank you all for coming. What I'm about to say will come as a shock to you but no one must know about this.” Alessandro looks at them, and they nod. “Well first thing, I'm taking you all to a safe house. Bianca wants to hurt everyone close to me...”“What are you talking about?” Gabriele interrupts. Alessandro gives him a look to shut up. “As I was explaining, Bianca hired someone to kill Li

Chapter 49Alessandro tells Lisa that he will be back late. “I'm going to meet up with the guys. Go and take a rest.” He kisses Lisa and then leaves with Kevin.“They are waiting for us with everything we need,” Kevin informs him. The drive to the house feels like an eternity for Alessandro. When they stop in front of the house, Johnny and Jake are already waiting for them.“Where are they?” Alessandro asks as soon as he climbs out of the car.“Follow me,” Jake replies looking at Johnny. Alessandro notices how angry and disappointed Johnny looks but decides not to ask. They walk inside the basement, where three chairs stand with lights showing each one.“Alessandro! Baby!

They phoned you to come and get me!”Alessandro starts laughing, “You think that I will come to you? Haha! This was all part of
