Chapter 122 ALLESIA ~~~~~~ Ignacio might have been a bad man, but he was a popular, pretentious one, and so his funeral was like a senator’s send-off. The atmosphere hung heavy with tension as everyone stood in all black around the already dug grave in the cemetery. The gathering consisted of stone-faced mafia men, mostly Italian and others from all over the world. I felt lost among them, but Nolan stood beside me in his black suit, almost blending in with the crowd except for his golden burnt curls, which made him impossible to miss, thereby leaving me painfully visible to the exposed crowd. When I spotted Russel by the priest, he was in his sharply tailored black suit, one of those ones that usually had his name specially engraved on the collar, but this time his shirt was white and untucked, the jacket also unbuttoned, adding a roguish handsomeness to him that left the breath in my throat hitching. His hair was styled for the occasion, shiny brown strands falling to his

Chapter 124 ALLESIA ~~~•~~~ Russel’s smile grew darker as he watched my reaction. He took a slow sip of his brandy, clearly enjoying my discomfort. “You see,” he began, “You may try to convince yourself that you hate me, which is very ridiculous because I didn't even do anything to merit your hatred, but your body tells a different story.” I swallowed hard, trying to regain my composure. “You’re delusional if you think I’ll let you manipulate me again.” His gaze softened for a brief moment, a flicker of something almost human passing through his eyes. “I don’t want to manipulate you. I've never manipulated you,” he leaned closer and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ears, “I’ve always given you a choice, angel,” his tone was low and sensual, “Now, you might blame me for those choices you make, but you best believe there is nothing I want more than to love and protect you.” “By kidnapping and threatening my friend?” I shot back, my voice rising with anger. “Lately, it's alway

Chapter 126 RUSSEL Allesia stood there, dressed only in lingerie. Draped over her body was a fishnet loose short gown that stopped just below her butt. But that wasn’t what set me off the most. It was the muscled fellow who had his hand wrapped possessively around her waist. He was nearly naked too, except for the beach boxer shorts he wore. The setting was that of a blooming sunflower garden. Everything was set to depict a honeymoon scene, with the foolish man even going as far as whispering sweet nothings into Allesia’s ear, making her giggle and twist under the camera light as he ran his hand over all the wrong places on her body. What the fuck? Maybe letting her continue this job wasn’t the smart idea after all. God, now I was sure I would really kill somebody. I closed my eyes, slowly feeling my anger rise. My hand trailed down to the hilt of my gun, each move the guy made adding a stick of dynamite to the explosive rage building inside me. The room seemed to narrow, m

Chapter 128 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ I wasn't sure I had the heart to sit through this suicide mission, but since I had no choice in the matter, I secured myself into the passenger seat with the safety belt securely in place. My hands dug into each side of the seat as I mumbled some words of prayer, which were basically just a desperate plea for forgiveness from God, should I not make it out of this alive. Russel glanced at me to make sure I was safely in the seat before exhaling a sharp breath. Without warning, he slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like a bullet, my breath hitched in my throat as adrenaline coursed through my veins. “Oh God, please–” I whispered, “Don't let me die like this,” From the corners of my eyes, I saw him shake his head before adding to the speed. The crowd swarmed around the tracks, their echoes of encouragement adding to the hammer in my chest. I had never been in a race before, I had never even been in a car as fast as this!

Chapter 130 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ His touch became more demanding, more punishing, more needy– it felt as though I had awoken a different beast inside him. Picking me up with a firm grip around my waist, he dumped me on the car like I was a rag doll. With both hands, he held my right leg up like it was a prized jewel, his eyes hot on my face as his tongue trailed kisses from my toes back to my inner thighs. “You think he would worship you like this?” He sneered, his breath fanning my bare body hotly, “Do you think he can make your legs go weak like this? Do you see how much they're shaking, Allesia?” I swallowed hard as one hand went around my neck, slightly disrupting my airflow, “That is something only I can do to you.” “Nolan—Nolan didn't try to touch me again after that day,” I managed to say. “But you preferred his company to mine,” he retorted, “You stayed with him all those weeks, he brought you flowers everyday and you hugged him at the door.” I didn't even have to ask ho
