ALESSANDRO “On our way to an annulment. You know the definition of annulment? Marriage never happened. So please, for the love of God, stop saying you are my husband.”She turned her back to leave when I grabbed her forearm, getting into her face. “You can’t go out looking like that!” I growled low.“You just said I looked stunning. What is your problem, Ales?” she hissed. “Just because you dragged me back to get what you wanted, it doesn’t mean my life stops. I have things to take care of. So please don’t make this more difficult.”“What things?” The moment I asked, I could see on her face she regretted her words.“Let go of me, Alessandro.” She tugged on her arm, trying to get the grip loosened. Her skin flushed and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.“Where?”“Where what?”“Where are you going?”“None of your business.”“One of my drivers will take you.”“No.”“Yes.”“No.”“Yes, end of discussion. Otherwise, you are going nowhere.” I have had enough of her rebellion. “I won

ALESSANDRO “Play the footage.” The fury was Arctic cold in my veins.3 years ago“Oh my God, Lorena. Are you-” Vomiting sounds came through, followed by throwing up. Confusion hit me. Was she sick? “Are you pregnant?”“I’m done, Ella.” Lorena’s voice shook. I was the worst bastard. There was my confirmation that Matteo was mine. No wonder she hated my guts. She should. I wouldn’t blame her if she killed me; I would let her, too. “I’m done being everyone’s pawn. I’m leaving tonight.”“But your Father-”“Will have me killed, one way or the other. He already controls my inheritance. And that’s not enough for him. He’s going to sell us. We have to run.”“Does Alessandro know about the pregnancy?”A bitter laugh came through the air. “I was going to tell him at dinner.”“You could call him.”“I never want to see him again. As far as I’m concerned, they can all kill each other. I’m leaving and never looking back.”“Are you sure?”“Absolutely.”“Your uncle and the Santos family will hunt u

LORENA “Thank you,” I said to the Uber driver. I knew Alessandro wanted us to take his driver so he knew our whereabouts. If Ella and I failed, I couldn’t risk any of what we were about to do to be pinned to Alessandro . For Matteo’s sake.The likelihoods of Ella and I killing Santos Snr were slim to none. If we succeeded with our plan, we’d run again. Somewhere the Santos family couldn’t find us and sell us like cows, But first, I’d make my father and mother pay… for everything.Needless to say, we haven’t made it to Alessandro ’s fundraiser yet. If my father was there, it would be easier to handle my mother alone. She wouldn’t expect it, so we might have an element of surprise. Getting rid of one then the other might be our only way.My five inch Louboutin’s hit the pavement as we exited the car. The large, wedding cake style marble steps opened a magnificent view to a large mansion. The Calvino Mansion that had been in my father’s family for centuries. Taking one step at the

LORENA My eyes indulged, traveling over his ink and inventorying each visible tattoo. From the ones on his face, the ink peeking above his starched white dress shirt, down to his tattooed hands and knuckles. Fuck, he was beautiful. I never cared much for tattoos until Alessandro. But this man took ink to a whole new level. The ink on this man, it packaged the cruelty etched on his face, the art and ruthlessness, into one fine, deadly specimen.“Lorena, you have come back.” The interruption came in the form of my mother’s cold voice. My mouth pressed into a thin line, and something in Nico’s eyes told me he understood exactly where I was coming from.My heart rate sped up and anxiety kicked up a notch, but I kept it hidden. After all, I got really good at hiding my emotions since I started living under my mother’s roof.She offered me her cheek to kiss in greeting. I leaned in stiffly to kiss the offering and felt like Judas. Because I came to kill her. But I remembered the lesson

ALESSANDRO Lorena paled at her mother’s words, and it made me want to wrap my hand around that old witch’s neck. I never liked that woman. She was a cruel and twisted old woman. But today I liked her even less.I quickly dialed up my aunt, When there was no answer, I called Lorenzo, my top guard.“Boss.”“Any word on Roberto?” I asked. After we found out he was the traitor, I hired Sasha, Dimitri ’s other brother, to find him and eliminate him. Sasha was good, not as good as Nico, but he would hunt that motherfucker down and put a sniper bullet into his skull.“No, but Sasha’s on the trail.”“Good. Tell my aunt not to leave the house with the boy. Keep security tight. If something happens, protect the boy and my aunt at all costs. I’ll update you later.”I hung up and saw my wife’s step falter at her mother’s announcement. I wished I knew what my wife’s plan was. She wanted to kill them; I knew that. But she couldn’t do that here. Not in such a public place.Fuck it; I was done

ALESSANDRO Lorena’s fingers gracefully moved across the keys of the piano. From the short, tense interaction between her and her mother it was clear she loved that piano. I would get that piano for her, if it was the last thing I did in this life.The last tune of the song ended, and it was like watching Lorena wake up from a dream. Her soft, dreamy expression disappeared and turned into a guarded expression. She met her mother’s expression by tilting her chin up in a challenge.The young, gentle girl I picked up at the club almost four years ago was now gone. In its place stood a strong and resilient woman that would fight the world to protect those she loved. And whether she liked it or not, I would fight right alongside her. She was my family. My life. My everything. She might not need me anymore to survive, but I needed her. And Matteo.I have a son. From the moment the realization struck, it was hard to grasp the meaning of it all. I would spend the rest of my life making it u

ALESSANDRO I rushed across the wooden floors towards the single door. They had to go through it, there was no other way out. Either through this door or back through the ballroom.The door took me to the back of the hallway, the marble back stairs leading to the staff area. The waiting staff was busy going back and forth, not paying attention to the fact they had a stranger hanging out in this area. It told me it probably happened often.While the front of the house shone, the servants’ area was darker with lifeless colors. It reflected Calvino s disregard for those lesser than themselves. At our house, we often spent time in the kitchen, along with our staff. They were pretty much part of our family.The sounds of the staff working bounced off the bare walls, the sound traveling both ways. An older woman, with wrinkles and pain etched on her face, passed by me for the second time. She threw me a curious glance but said nothing.Years of training and fear, I presumed.“Did you see

LORENA Fear rattled my bones. I had never felt so scared before. Not when my grandparents died, not when Ella and I ran away in the dead of the night with nothing but the clothes on our back, fake passports, and ten thousand dollars in cash.These men, my mother planned to hand us over to, would not be kind to Ella and I. They waited four long years for us, stocking their anger and thirst for vengeance. A shiver ran down my spine with fear of their plans. I had no doubt their plans for us were to inflict pain. Hit, beat, brand, rape… death would be more merciful than this.“Get a move on, puttanas,” one of the guards snapped as he shoved both Ella and I forward.My mother’s laugh chilled me to the bone.“Don’t mind him, girls,” she chatted, in her raspy voice. Result of years of smoking. “Santos Jnr is eager to have you, Lorena. And Ella should fetch a nice price too.”“Alessandro Moravia will destroy you.” Ella hissed “You nor Santos jnr were able to find us. Lorena’s husband di

LORENA He didn’t mention Matteo, but my mother hinted to my little family. They knew about Matteo. I had no choice but to go with him or risk Matteo and his grandaunt being killed.Memories flooded back in a rush, and the choking fear was the only emotion lingering in my veins. Ella and I were hustled through the maze. I pulled the trigger on my mother. I killed her.I think. I hope so.Man’s hands around my throat, against my mouth, sharp prick into my neck. The pain. Ella’s screams. We were trapped - like a moth against the blinding light. Except this light would kill us.Ella and I have been living on borrowed time.Hushed murmurs penetrated my brain. I tried to move, but my body felt too heavy. Like I had been drugged. My heart thundered painfully, my skin felt clammy and cold, my head pounded.Soft murmur and a whimper. A painful grunt escaped my lips, and I twisted my neck in the direction of the soft voices.“Lorey.” A soft whisper. Gabriella.I blinked back my tears and fo

LORENA She laid her head onto my lap and I sat like a statue, staring out the small window, a glimpse of the freedom so close but so far away. I wasn’t beyond crawling through it and running down the street in my underwear. If I had to choose between that or being sold, I’d pick the former.Ella’s eyes shut and her breathing evened within five minutes. I waited, listening to her breathing while I stared at the dirty concrete walls, then the dirty ground. It was all dirty, like this whole transaction that my family participated in.My grandparents were dead because they tried to protect me. They refused to hand over their granddaughter as some kind of fucked up sacrifice to the mobster gods. I had never been bloodthirsty, but now, I wanted to kill them all.I killed a human being. How did someone move on from that? It stained your soul, whether you wanted it or not. It was the main reason why I only stuck to laundering money during our time in Europe. That was bad enough, but now
