Kiara:To say that I was scared wouldn’t be a lie.Alessio kept his eyes on me as Alberto held me in place. His arm wrapped around my shoulders and his gun held to my head, and it didn’t help that I could feel his hard cock against my thigh as he looked at Alessio.Ivan nodded at me to stay calm and I couldn’t help but glare at the man who was trying to assure me that things would be okay. I knew that they were, but the fact that I was being held at gunpoint wasn’t something that I appreciated. Alessio’s eyes met mine for a second before he nodded making me frown in confusion.A trigger was pulled behind both Alberto and I making my eyes widen “let her go, or I give you my word that I will not hesitate to pull this trigger, Alberto”Arda spoke making the man loosen his grip around me. I managed to move my hand and using my elbow, I punched him in the gut before taking his gun from his hand and standing in f

Kiara:“Has anyone seen Alessio? And please tell me the man didn’t go out to kill someone” I asked Ivan, Natasha, and Katerina.Katerina was Natasha’s mum, I had learned from Arda that she took care of them after their mother had died. She was their second mum, and I could see the love and respect they all had for the woman.“No, Alessio wouldn’t be killing anyone tonight. I assume he went to his mom’s study room” Ivan said and I nodded walking up to my room. Well, at least a one night break was in order.Walking toward my room, my eyes caught sight of Alessio who was indeed I his mum’s study, however, he wasn’t inside the study. He was in the Veranda, his arms crossed over his chest as he stood there in front of the rail and looked up the sky. My eyes softened at the sight of the man and I walked toward my room getting a blanket and walking toward the study room. I knew that he didn’t like

Kiara:“You know, for a small woman, you really can hold down your liquor” Alessio teased as the bartender brought the seventh shot to our table.The two of us drowned down the shots and I jumped in excitement before leaning over my arm to look at Alessio who was smirking at me. The two of us have been going at this for a while now, and as reckless as it was. The two of us were enjoying it “hold down my liquor? I am not even drunk, Mr. Aslanov”Alessio chuckled and ran his finger over my jawline just as the bartender brought in the next round of shots. This time Alessio shook his head and I raised an eyebrow “is this a surrender that I’m witnessing?”“No, this is preventing my gorgeous beauty from getting knocked out” Alessio teased and I laughed. The fact that he’s been claiming me as his own throughout the whole night hasn’t escaped my mind. But I was making sure to not show him the excit

Kiara:“So, do you want to tell me where you’re taking me?” I asked Alessio raising an eyebrow at him. He smirked and wrapped his arm around me. The two of us were inside the car while Lyov drove us off to wherever Alessio has decided to want to take me.“Well, I would; but it wouldn’t be a surprise if I did, now would it?” Alessio asked in a teasing tone which made me smile. Shaking my head to answer Alessio, I laid my head over his beating heart. To say that I was lucky would be an understatement. Knowing that he trusted me with something that was as valuable as the pendant that I was wearing, something that belonged to his mum, it made me feel special. I didn’t know how to describe what I was feeling, but I was grateful that he had let his walls down.Lyov came to a stop in front of a restaurant which made me look up at Alessio who ran his finger over my arm. He was looking out the window, clearly focused on us arrivi

Kiara:I woke up with a headache that could match a migraine.I massaged my temple and sat up to check my phone, my eyes widened when I saw that it was a while past noon. I forced myself out of the bed and walked out of the bedroom to find the suite oddly quiet. I frowned in confusion when I saw Alessio sitting on the couch, his arm spread on the couch’s backrest, a drink in his hand.“Alessio?” I asked frowning in confusion. He didn’t even turn to face me as he hummed in response “is everything alright?”“Yes, why?” Alessio asked. His voice cold and void of emotion, it reminded me of when I first came to the house and he was doing his best to annoy his father.“Did something happen? You told me that you would wake me up in an hour, but...”“I didn’t think that it was important to wake you. You needed to sleep” Alessio said and I frowned. I walked toward him and sa
