All Chapters of The Rossi Brothers II — Adriano: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Adriano.I sat numbly in the dark room, staring at the door, waiting. My whole body was shivering from the cold, and my teeth chattered as I tried to blow warm air into my hands. They had already turned blue, and no matter how many times I tried to flex them, they wouldn't move; they remained stiff.I glanced up at the ceiling, wondering when my brother would return. He had been gone longer this time than before, and everything inside me screamed for him to come back quickly. I didn’t think I would last more than twenty minutes in this frigid room if he didn’t return soon.These people were sent to kill us—me, specifically. They pretended to love us and claimed they wanted to take care of us, but they never truly did. While they played the role of a caring and loving family in public, they hated us in private and were hell-bent on breaking us.Just as I sensed my thoughts had attracted attention, the door opened. Without raising my head, I already knew it was her. The hair on the back

Daisy.The two of us stepped into the restaurant that Mariana had chosen. She was eager for us to have dinner together after missing our last hangout. The place looked lively, and everything about it screamed wealth. I tried not to look intimidated as soon as a waiter approached us.“Good evening, welcome. Would you like to make a reservation?” she asked, eyeing us as if we couldn't afford to be there. She might as well have said it to our faces that we were two broke girls. “Yes, I’m here under the reservation of Mariana.” I cursed myself for not asking her husband’s last name.The waiter’s eyes widened slightly before returning to normal. “You must be Daisy?” she asked, and hope instantly filled me. “Yes,” I replied. “Please, this way.” I noticed how her demeanor changed in just a minute. She likely realized that she would lose her job if Mariana or her family found out how she had treated me. We walked past couples enjoying their dinners, some with families and others alone.

Daisy. My steps halted as soon as I saw who had just walked in and I recognized him. “You,” I said accusingly and he grinned. “I told you the next time we see, you’ll be learning how to suck cocks, Daisy.” His grin widened. My eyes flashed with pure rage as I stared at him. “Why did you bring me here?” I asked, and remained standing where I was. “I’ve already told you—“ I cut him off. “No, that was a decision you took yourself. It wasn’t written in a clause that I would do anything you would want if I didn’t pay the money on time.” I spat out angrily. He doesn’t have the right to send his men after me because I still have some debts to pay. He doesn’t have the right to force me to work for him either. The grin on his face didn’t falter as he tilted his head to the side. “Was it?” The look on his face tells me whatever I’ve just said was true. I must have missed it because there’s no way I would sign that damn paper if I had seen that clause. Shit! “What do you

Adriano. If someone had told me I would run into the one girl who had been on my mind for a whole week—someone I’ve been too messed up in the head to call or see—in a club wearing nothing but flimsy lingerie that showed every single curve of her body, I wouldn’t have believed it. If they had told me I would have her in my arms just like this, I wouldn’t have believed them either. I stared down at the pretty little thing in my arms, my chest burning and my belly fluttering with the excitement of seeing her. It wasn’t my intention to ignore her after leaving her place the other day. I was upset after a little chat with my brother and needed to vent my anger. I didn’t know how I would act if I went to see her, so I did the one thing I always do best: I partied and got high until I calmed down. As I looked down at her, I noticed something was different. Her green eyes didn’t have their usual defiant spark; instead, she looked almost defeated, as if she were in trouble. Her chest heave

Adriano. Warning: slight mention of Self-harm. I waited until she had slept off before going back to the club. I knew those bastards would have informed their boss about what happened, and they would come looking for me, but before they could, I would go to them. I wasn’t done with them, especially the one who called her names. He was the one I mostly wanted to kill. Even while putting her to bed, I can still see his hand wrapped around her arm. The mark was there, and I fucking hated it. I tucked my hands inside my jacket's pockets as I walked down the street filled with drunks and some prostitutes, enjoying the scent of my woman. Her scent was engulfed in the jacket she wore earlier, and for a good twenty minutes after picking it up, I sniffed the hell out of it like a fucking dog. But I do not mind. Anytime she was around, I tended not to be myself, and this was one of those times. I didn’t drive my car because I didn’t want the sound of the car starting to wake her
