My whole body froze when my eyes met his cold gaze. I wonder how much Stefano had seen. As he took powerful strides towards us, my heart pounded loudly in my ears.Suddenly, his firm grip pulled me in his direction. We stood opposite Robin who had an awkward smile plastered on his face."Glad to see you, I guess." Robin chuckled, stretching his hands towards Stefano as though they were old friends."You might not be glad to see me next time." Stefano's firm tone matched the cold gaze his eyes held.Robin chuckled, unfazed by his words. I didn't understand what exactly was going on, but I could tell that there was a quiet battle between them. I was torn between screaming and keeping mute. Before I could make any decision, Stefano's hard grip tightened around my wrist and pulled towards the direction of his car."What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled, pain shooting through my hand."Protecting you! You can't afford to spend one more minute with him." Stefano spat, still not freei

The fucker didn't pick his call.I watched it ring until it went to voicemail. I pressed my hands together, attempting to keep my cool as my thoughts roamed.I shook my head. One fact remains the same: I had to treat Luca Manno as urgent. If not, he'd spiral out of control, and chopping him off would become impossible. I leaned into my chair, closing my eyes. All I saw was trouble, and then I rose, sliding into my car within a few minutes. As I drove on the road, I got certain information that made the whole situation interesting. I knew I was going to look at that later, but for now, I was heading home.As I got into my penthouse, my maid, Marianna, was standing next to the door. She had worked with my family for years and had eventually assigned her to work for me when I moved into my own apartment. Her services were well needed; I couldn't even do anything domestically for the life of me. Also, I didn't trust other people enough to let them into my space. All the other workers I'v

While I thought of a perfect way to get through to Luca Manno, seeing that I could kill Tomasso, he gave a perfect suggestion."Take a picture of me looking dead and then send it to him; he'll probably respond since none of his men have been killed since he started fighting with y'all." He suggested, then shrugged. "I don't know, just trying to help since we're now a team."He held Matteo's hand, giving a childish smile. "Right?"Matteo pulled back. "Kid, I don't know if anyone has told you this, but when adults are talking, fucking shut up." "I'm freaking 19, adult." Tomasso snapped."Enough!" I scolded, hitting my desk. We were all in a meeting planning our next moves, and to be very honest, Tomasso has been bringing good ideas. I don't know why Matteo has been bringing about the fact that I chose to spare his life. He had been snapping at him at every given second. Like, hey, redirect that useless anger towards me instead, but he wouldn't, and he couldn't. That was what made me th

"So you're still going on huh?" Matteo asked the moment we settled at an apartment in the UK. The apartment was mine but sometimes I do put in on hire for people, mostly tourists who wanted a fancy apartment during their stay in the UK.I chuckled, not even annoyed by the frequent question. "yes Matteo I'll be going. Isn't it better to clear this once and for all?""It's not as easy as he's making it seem. He wants to give you the illusion that it's just a peaceful dialogue. I bet he has something under his sleeves." He spoke in a barely concealed angry tone. "I would have still carried my pistol, no matter what the fuck he said. I wouldn't allow myself to be foolish and walk into the lion's den unguarded. Not possible." He ranted as he paced around, shuffling our clothes in the wardrobe. We usually shared a room in cases like this and I loved it a lot but I wouldn't say that to his face. "I've heard you, Matteo. Let's rest up and get ready for 9pm."He shrugged and sank into the be

With the way her eyes lit up, I knew she recognised me. Bella could never forget about me, after what she did. If she pretended not to know me then I'll know I never meant anything to her all these while. I would let her be instantly and carry on with my scarred heart but no. Bella's eyes flashed with something I'd call guilt, then it morphed into a neutral expression. She attempted to put away the past while she was treating me in front of Matteo but there was no way she could ignore me now, seeing that I had told Matteo to leave me here. I was more than elated to disrupt her life. I know I was the last person she was expecting to see, or even treat.All the while we lived together, I let her know my heart still bleeds at her betrayal. Sometimes I would want to let go, but it was hard. For a moment, I thought the only way I could heal was to inflict the pain she caused me with my sharp words and nasty attitude. But I just couldn't stop myself from showing her the care she deserved.
