Alessia Guzman
“You’re early,” Leonardo grumbles towards Anthonio. “I was eager to see my sister.”
I finally turn away from the dishwasher to face Leonardo. His dark eyes are already boring into mine as I twist my face to the group again.
“Charming of you.” He replied but his eyes were still boring into mine. “Right.” Russo rasps, sensing the tension.
“Let’s head to your office.”
Russo nudges Anthonio to follow them upstairs but Leonardo is still staring back at me with a look in his eyes that I can’t quite pinpoint.
“Leo.” My brother snapped in his direction and I watched him finally stalk away.
I shook my head and turned to Guila who was clearing up Russo’s and Anthonio’s plates.
“Is he always such an asshole?” I ask.
“You know, I’d rather not comment on Mr De Luca because I just work for him but I’ll tell you one thing. That boy’s got a good heart. He just pretends to have a hard exterior so he won’t be taken advantage of. Trust me, I’ve known him for a long time.” She said, giving me a side hug.
I sighed and made my way upstairs. They’ll most likely be gone for the rest of the day and I needed something to keep me busy.
Immediately I got to my room, my phone rang and I grabbed it, thankful for the distraction.
Isabella, thank fuck!
“Hey, Al,” She shouts through the phone.
“Hey, Isa, What’s up?” I answered as I lay on the bed.
“So I know you’re like trapped or some shit with your dreamy steamy boyfriend and brother for some fucking reason but,
your
bruises are way healed now and I’ve been patient enough so that means we’re going out tonight and before you say no, well, you can’t say no because we’re going, period.”
“I- Isa, I don’t know. I don’t think he’ll let me.”
“What the fuck do you mean? Just because you had sex and got pregnant from a one–night stand with him doesn’t make him your boyfriend and that doesn’t mean you can’t still have some fun. So fuck what he thinks! And…. I need to get laid. So, we. are, going.”
“Okay, okay fine. I’ll be there at 8?”
“Yes, thank fuck! I’ll see you later baby. Bye.”
I smile and shake my head when she hangs up. Isabella can be a handful sometimes. Now I just laid in bed wondering how I was gonna get past three grown males who are hell–bent on protecting me.
There was no point telling Leonardo about going out because there was no way he’d allow me. I just have to figure out a way

to sneak past them.

It’s 6:30 pm right now and I like taking my time getting ready so I walked over to my closet and took out one of the new dresses I had bought with Leonardo’s card.
It’s a backless red dress that shows a bit of cleavage, the dress stops about mid–thigh and hugs my curves perfectly.
It’s been two months but I hadn’t started showing yet, which I was grateful for. The dress wouldn’t have fit me otherwise. I do my makeup and style my hair so that it lays elegantly on my back.
About an hour later, I finished up and prop on my heels and made my hair down the stairs to leave.
They were still in the office as I hurried my way down the elevator and into the lobby, leaving the mansion.

“Girl, look at you! You’re fucking gorgeous! Did you put on some more weight? Come here!” Isabella gasped and pulled me into a tight hug. I laugh, hugging her back whilst also complimenting her.
Her long brunette hair had grown even longer. It was usually straight but today, she had it in beach waves. She looked beautiful.
Her tall stature complimented her dress very well. Isa is the same height as me but with her wearing two–inch heels, she isn’t as tall as me currently. I’m wearing four–inch heels.
We make our way towards the club while she talks nonstop about how much work she has to do.
“It’s crazy that you don’t need to work anymore. I mean, you got your sugar daddy wrapped around your little finger.”
“Isa! What the hell.” I snort.
We walked down to the bar and sat on the little skinny chair.
A bartender walked over to us. He had on a red vest with a black dress shirt underneath and a white tie. His hair was a little
messy.
He smirked at us, “What can I get for you gals tonight?”
“Mmmm,” I said, thinking of something. “Just give me any nonalcoholic cocktail you have. I wanna keep it simple.” I said, ignoring the fact that he was trying to flirt with me.
“I’ll have a scotch on the rocks dear, since we’re trying to keep it simple.” She winked and laughed with the bartender.
I shook my head at both of them.
“Nonalcoholic in a club?” He chuckled but went ahead to get us our drinks. I paid and thanked him as I watched the dancers on the dance floor.
Isabella sauntered off to the dance floor a few minutes later, beckoning me to join her.
I watched with a smile for a while before I decided to join her on the dance floor. We danced together and swayed our hips
to the music,
I was backed into a corner because of the crowd. It didn’t bother me until I felt a hand on my ass and a knife pressed to my

stomach. It was hidden from everyone else but I could still feel it.
“Come with me now or I will use this,” a man’s rough voice whispered in my ear.
I nodded my head and followed the man through the crowd. He led me outside, behind the club’s building. It was an alleyway like what you would see in the movies.

A white van was cranked and ready to leave immediately. The man behind me put some sort of sack over my face, shielding me from seeing the outside world.
He led me blindly into the van. While I was getting in, I tripped and banged my shin on the side of the van. I cursed but ignored the pain.
Thinking about how I needed to protect my child.
I heard a door slam shut and the last thing I remember was feeling a blow to my head and then, total darkness.
