Angelo A look of fear was plastered on Alessia’s face as she stared at me. I didn’t expect her to appear out of the blue. I had just finished interrogating the asshole and was washing away the blood from his bruised body when Alessia barged in. “Are you hurt?” was her first question.“What are you doing here?” I threw back instead. The water washed away the blood, and I covered up my hand with a small towel so she wouldn’t get suspicious. I didn’t want her to know anything, to know there was a basement inside my room.I was a bit startled when I turned around and found her near me. “Why don’t you treat the wound?” For some reason, irritation coursed through me. I clenched my jaw. “That is none of your business. Get out of here,” I almost hissed out.Yet, she didn’t move an inch. Her eyes were still fixated on my hand. “Let me see,” she said, but I turned my back to her fished out my pocket knife, and slid my palms. Blood immediately started gushing out. A light hiss escaped me.Silen

Angelo The words from her were enough to let my guard down. I grabbed the back of her head and crashed my lips on hers into a fierce and demanding kiss. Alessia wasted no time in wrapping her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. I kissed and nibbled at her bottom lip, while my hand went to the zipper of her dress to pull it down. I managed to do that. I pushed us to the nearest wall and continued to kiss the life out of her soft lips. Alessia's hand dropped down to dig her fingers into my skin. I smile into the kiss. She craves me as much as I do. I swept her off her feet, placing her legs around my waist. I trailed kisses on her neck down to her cleavage. I yanked away the bra covering her breast and pecked it. I slightly pulled away and looked into her eyes. "You're making me crazy," I whispered. She kept on looking at me. "I-"My words halted in my throat when I felt her hand pulling my belt. "Likewise, me. I don't know what we're doing. But I so badly want you to do it with

AngeloTwo days later"Mr. Benson, your deal is with me and not Dominic. If you can't accept the amount I'm offering then fuck off!" I hissed out irritatingly. "You need to calm down and hear me out, Mr. Angelo. I'm not trying to move the business to Mr. Dominic, what I'm trying to say is things have changed. I can't do the dirty work and get nothing." I closed my eyes trying to hold in my anger.When I opened them again, it grew two-fold. "You know what, fuck off! Our deal is finished. Don't blame me for whatever attack I send your way." With that, I ended the call and threw the phone harshly on the desk.A knock swiftly sounded on the door followed by the presence of Kelvin. "Not now Kelvin. Let me be!" I hissed for the third time. Everything and everyone is getting on my nerves. I had been getting pissed and angry at the little things for the past two days. And to say that the cause of it was Alessia, made the situation worse. I tried my best not to think of her but to no avail.

Angelo “Are you sure Alessia can handle the event all by herself?" Elijah asked. I called all three of them for a meeting in my study room. A meeting on the new fashion program one of my art gallery investor's wife was going to host. I know nothing about fashion but I trusted Alessia would do a good job. It might not be what she wanted but at least helping her showcase her talent will lessen the guilt in my heart. "I heard Mrs. Martinez is a hot-tempered woman. What If Alessia made a mistake and the woman decides to fire her." Marco voiced out. I listened to each problem they had regarding giving the job to Alessia. My eyes shifted to Kelvin who had been quiet all the while."What about you Kelvin? What do you have to say?" I asked intertwining my hand. "I don't think Alessia will have an issue. From what I gathered about her, she's a hardworking event planner who has been recognized for her great talents. She just needs the right coaching, because this is a big event. I know she'

AlessiaI stared at the whiteboard boringly as Marco explained what there was to know about the client I would be working with. He had been on one thing for the past two hours going from one direction to another. I told them I could handle it myself but they wouldn't free me saying Angelo had assigned them to coach me."Can we rest for a bit?" I said jerking my head back in an exhausting manner. "Your teaching is boring," I added seeing as he wasn't ready to back down."I won't be held responsible by Angelo though." "You have nothing to worry about. I can handle him." I dismissed. Kelvin was the one who started the coaching. He told me the kind of person Mrs. Martinez is. A woman who owns a lot of popular fashion agencies in Italy. A hot-tempered and no-nonsense woman.I know I wasn't up for any competition but thinking about how I would be introduced to a different world sends chills down my spine. "Hi, guys." Annie's voice sounded through the door. She was holding a tray containing
