Chapter 9: Alcohol & Poison
-
Alessandro and I talked for a while which distracted me from my screaming hunger.
Luckily the door slowly opened.
I silently hoped it was the last guest because I knew if I had to wait any longer I wouldn't be able to stop myself from eating.
"Sorry, I'm late." I instantly glared at the person who entered.
"Ryan, It's no problem dear. Take a seat so we can start dinner," My mother said with a smile while doing her best to avoid my glare.
Ryan immediately made his way over to me as he wor
- Chapter 10: Forgive & Fights - I woke up the next day to the sound of my alarm which I had set for 6 am due to the fact I had barely had the chance to work out since the incident. I laid on my bed still extremely tired which had me wondering what was the point of sleeping? I sat up with the little strength I had before stretching. Despite my body's pleads for sleep I stood with a yawn as I headed to the bathroom to take a shower that I hoped would wake me up. - After
- Chapter 11: Date & Diner - Natalia's P.O.V After leaving the gym I decided just to go for a walk in the garden to clear my head and hopefully remove every thought of Alessandro. I hated myself for the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about him. No matter how hard I tried to forget his smiles and his eyes I knew they'd stay in my mind until the end of time. What was it about him? Was it the way he said my name? Was it the way he stared?
- Chapter 12: Awards & News - Natalia's P.O.V Once we finished our meal we left the diner but not before saying goodbye to Sarah and March. The second we entered the car, I turned to him. "So, are we going back to my house now?" "No, we have one more place to go." He told me as he started the car. "But-" He instantly interrupted my sentence. "No buts, Natalia. Relax." Alessandro offered me a
- Chapter 13: Torture & Needs - "Where is he?" I asked entering the room once again after I changed my clothes. "You can't see him right now." My mother told me as Alessandro walked inside the room in a new change of clothes. "How did this even happen?" "Your father sent him to handle a shipment but he was ambushed on the way, the person attacked him...and now he won't wake up." I closed my eyes letting out a breath to steady myself. "Did you find the person who did this?" My father nodded. "Where are they?"
- Chapter 14: Avoiding & Contract - It was the next day, I was currently in my father's office informing my parents about Jen's confession. "I think it's safe to say that we need help from the Italian mafia since this R person is coming for us both." My father stated in deep thought. "Natalia, could you get Alessandro? I need him to sign the contract." I nodded trying to push down my nervousness as I left his office. My heart was going at an impossible speed as I walked closer and closer to Alessandro's room. Memories from last night rushed through my head like a river falling off a cliff.
- Chapter 15: Fallen & American - When Alessandro went to Italy, it gave Natalia more time to think about her feelings for him and whether or not it was more sexual than emotional but she knew she wouldn't have time to sit and think as she had many things to do during the day. - Natalia laid back in her chair as the man came out of the shower, she was waiting for him to open the door as she held her gun in her hand. It didn't take a minute for the man to open the door, he stood in his towel eyes widened in shock as he saw her sitting a few feet away from him, "Hello Michael, it's been what...3 weeks?" "Natalia, I don't have the money." She sighed checking the time on the Rolex on her wrist which was actually his. "I don't have time for your lies, this watch looks awfully expensive for a man with your salary." "It was a gift from my sister.
- Chapter 16: Denied & Want - Even though Natalia slept, she was still tired as her mind thought of every possible person, who would want her dead but that was a long list due to her family's long line of murders. At least Natalia knew it wasn't Ryan, he didn't have the balls to pull a stunt like this. With a sigh, she left her room the sound of voices in the dining room caught her attention, her feet moved on their own as she entered earning everyone's gaze. Her parents, Alessandro, Alessio and a few other people sat around the table, "Good morning." Natalia greeted keeping her eyes away from Ales
- Chapter 17: Like & Eric - "So, are you going to tell me what's really happening?" Alessandro asked softly, kissing her neck. Her hands gripped his shirt, loving how his lips felt. "There is nothing to tell." She told him, he sighed pulling away making her frown. "Natalia we both know that's not true." "What do you want me to tell you? That I'm not in love with my fiance? That I'm not engaged? Because I am Alessandro, and you need to accept it." He placed both hands on either side of her legs, entrapping her. "If you're so in love with your fiance why are you here with me?" Natalia stayed silent letting him continue
