บททั้งหมดของ She belongs to the mafia.: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Alessandro quickly arrived at his office, alerted by a call from one of his security men about a possible danger."What's going on?" he questioned the man as soon as he arrived at the company."We found this. The search dogs have found the device," the security man placed a deactivated bomb on Alessandro's desk.The man quickly inspected the object. The timer had stopped just ten seconds before it was due to explode. This did not bode well for the leader of the New York mafia."Where was it?""Sir, it was in the east wing of the basement, right below your office. It's clear what their target was.""It was me," Alessandro said, running his hands through his hair as he thought about how to manage the security of his men.The past few weeks had been the most difficult he had had in a long time. He had received threats, envelopes with pictures of his son and Georgia, and losses at the hands of his enemies. Two of his closest men had died in crossfire. There was going to be bloodshed, and

The truth was that after weeks of turbulence, the last thing Alessandro wanted was to have to make an effort to hide his feelings that were clearly there because of her and everything she brought out in him. The man had spent too much time contemplating what was right, whether he should let her go, whether she was safer with or without him. Alessandro had questioned his situation with Georgia too much, but it seemed there was no right answer to his dilemma. Every time he tried to distance himself, a voice within him compelled him to do the opposite. He loved her, no matter how dangerous it might be.Putting the situation in perspective, that cheap excuse of wanting to protect Georgia by staying away from her was nothing more than a pretext fueled by his fears. Alessandro knew he could take care of her, knew he had the ability to protect her from any danger. He would not allow anything bad to happen to one of his own, especially someone like her who had already suffered the consequence

Alessandro, who was answering some of his emails in his office, immediately picked up his phone when he noticed that Georgia's bodyguard was calling him."Hello?" he answered immediately."Mr. Mascherano, you asked me to inform you if I noticed any anomalies regarding Miss Alcott, and I think this might be one," he said. "As usual, she went to her usual transport stop, but suddenly she took a taxi and came to San Juan Hospital. I don't know what it's about, but she hasn't left for about an hour."Alessandro frowned, wondering what Georgia could be doing at that hospital. Was she sick? He wondered, convincing himself that he should go there to find out what was going on."Don't move from there, keep an eye on her, and if she leaves the hospital, let me know where she's heading," he instructed.Immediately, he grabbed his car keys, his blazer, and left his office, determined to find out if she was okay or not."Miss Alcott, how are you feeling?" asked the nurse who was inserting the IV

Valery, Georgia, and Grandma Bianca entered together through the main door of Valery's apartment. Valery had made sure that everything was ready so that Grandma could feel comfortable and, above all, at ease."Georgia told me her favorite scent is vanilla, so I bought air fresheners with that aroma," said Valery."You two are such sweet girls, but really, dear Georgia, I don't want to be a bother. You're both young and have very busy lives that I don't fit into. I don't want to be a burden to anyone," Grandma said with genuine embarrassment.Between the treatments she had to receive and her Alzheimer's problem, she had been having a rough time lately. She didn't want the girls to worry more than necessary. After all, she was an elderly woman who had already lived her life. It was time for Georgia to do the same."Nonsense!" said Georgia. "You don't bother us. On the contrary, you'll be a distraction for us, Grandma.""Yes, because Georgia never even leaves the house," grumbled Valery.

"What do you need, grandma?" asked Georgia with genuine interest.Her grandmother sat up just a little to take the pillow off her back."You haven't slept at all?" The woman asked, seeing that the grandmother had one of her favorite books by her side, the one Georgia had arranged for her to be distracted with from time to time.."No, dear, I haven't been able to stop thinking. These past few days I've been feeling very nostalgic, maybe it's old age or time telling me that it's time to take my last steps before leaving this earth.""Don't say that, grandma," Georgia sighed. The idea of being alone was completely terrifying to her, and it was something she didn't even want to think about, even though she knew it was very likely to happen soon. "You still have a lot of life ahead of you. You don't think you can get rid of me that easily," Georgia teased."Okay, I'll make sure to stay a little longer. There are still goals in your life that I haven't seen you achieve, and I'd like to acco
