Semua Bab Tesoro: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Cassandria POV.We arrived back in the states early hours this morning. Katya and Anya both came with us. They will now start living here, in my mansion. I woke up after having a nightmare.I left the bed and headed down into the kitchen of the mansion. It’s still dark outside. I replay the nightmare in my head.Laying in a white bed, the sound of babies crying when I feel something gushing out of me. Looking down, I’m covered in blood. Then darkness. To wake up in another nightmare.Bound and restrained as men and women do unspeakable things to me. There is one woman, sitting on a throne-like chair, watching all of this play out. She is laughing and mocking me.“All hail the Mafia Queen.” She says laughing as she sits crossed legged drinking from a glass. As I’m defiled at her feet. That was when I woke up. Frantically looking around the bedroom. Matteo snoring beside me. I couldn’t sleep after that, so I came downstairs with my laptop.I decided to get some work done. In truth, I ha

Cassandria POV.After everything I have learned, I know I have a decision to make. It may not be the one I want to make, but I know deep inside of me that I will have to.I am taking these nightmares as a sign.I pace in the bathroom, fidgeting with my fingers as I wait for the timer to go off. Matteo is watching me pace like a caged animal.“Tesoro, stop. You are wearing a hole in the floor.” I bite my bottom lip but keep pacing. The last time I did this, I was so scared. I know this time will be different hence why my decision will be based on not only this result, but the combination of everything.I’m tired and I have done so much and lost even more. If I stop now, I can at least rest and let Matteo handle it. I mean, I will still help out but I won’t be actively involved. I just can’t anymore.The goal was to take out Curtis, and those that hurt me. I’ve done that. Does it make me a shitty person for waiting to back away?The timer goes off and I stop pacing and take a deep breat

Matteo POV.I’m nervous, so fucking nervous with what I am about to do. The past few weeks have been busy, but I have always found time for tesoro mio. Even arranging this surprise has been nerve-wracking. She deserves the best and tonight she will get it.I have had an overnight bag packed for us both, and a few other things. I know she is so used to doing everything for everyone. But she isn’t used to having someone dote on her and I want to change that and tonight I will be.I have been looking for her for about twenty minutes when I hear the music coming from the gym. She thinks I don’t know that she is training, nothing happens here without me knowing and approving.I get closer and the music gets louder. Alice Deejay Better Off Alone. I open the door and there she is. Walking on the treadmill, unwrapping her hands. It is then that I notice the punching bag is still swinging to a stop. So today she has been doing some boxing.I know yesterday she was doing some light weights and

Cassandria POV.It has been five months since Matteo proposed to me and I said yes; I am now seven months pregnant. Things couldn’t have been better. When we arrived home Alina and everyone had prepared a small get together to celebrate our engagement the following day.Matteo knows I don’t like the huge celebrations, so it was small and intimate. Then, about six weeks later, we had a scare.I had started bleeding and was put on bed rest. The twins are fine and we found out they are, in fact, girls. Another reason to panic. Matteo insisted that we marry once the OBGYN had released me from bedrest.So we got married two months ago. A lot of people arrived to celebrate, and the media got wind of the wedding. We married in the compound and it was a beautiful day. No drama and everyone was in good spirits.Then three weeks ago we received word that Claudia was sighted in Europe. Matteo didn’t want to leave me, but I told him to go. I was fine, and he promised he would return in time to wi

Matteo POV.It has been five years since she died. Five years of not being able to touch her and hold her. Five years of living this life without tesoro mio.She died from a massive haemorrhage the day she first saw our little miracles. She died in my arms. I haven’t been the same since.The day she left me while I was away following a lead was the worst day of my life. I was drugged, and I thought the woman was Cass. But she wasn’t. We found out the bitch was working for Claudia and I had been set up. It took me two days before the effects of the drugs left my body, but by then, tesoro was gone and refused to speak to me, or anyone, for that matter.I deeply regret it. The woman in question was killed by Alina and Ghost. Tesoro had been working to bring my company down, and I did nothing to stop it. It is what I deserved.“Papa, when will we get there?” I look at Gabriella and Alexandra. They are the mirror image of Cass. With the same hair and eyes. Today, we are heading to Sicily t
