When I get home, it’s dead silent, which I expect for almost two in the morning. After the day I’ve had, I needed sleep now more than ever. My eyelids feel like they’ve been peeled back and they begin to sting.
Running a gang is never an easy thing. As I got to my room, I was thankful that Alessia wasn’t there. I was glad she decided to sleep in her room because I knew I wouldn’t be getting any much–needed sleep if she was in my bed.
I carry myself to the bed, expecting to fall into a deep sleep instantly but I don’t. I’m almost too tired to sleep. My mind wandered with a thousand different thoughts on how to catch whoever was blackmailing my men.
No matter how much I try to switch it off, I can’t. I huff and twist in the sheets until they’re coming away at the edges of my bed.
Fuck!
My chest heaves. I’m so fucking tired and I just wanted to sleep, even for a single second.
My phone beeps loudly from beside me, my eyes popping open at the sound. I know that sounds very well. The security alarm for this house. I rush to grab my phone, the screen lighting up the dark room.
My eyes flicked to the time and it was 3 am. No one should be trying to get into the house at that time. Even if it was Russo, he knew how to disable the security alarm. I quickly grab my gun.
“Cazzo!” I cursed under my breath and climbed out of bed.
Where are all the guards outside? How did they allow an intruder into my house?
As I reached the top of the stairs, I kept my eyes peeled and my breathing quiet. I don’t know who the fuck is trying to break into my house but they’re about to die. They’re about to see what it’s like to cross a boss in their own home.
The door clicks open and suddenly I’m raging. How the fuck did they make it past the guards with such ease?
My feet pound down the stairs, ignoring the fact that I’m in nothing but my boxers at this point. I hold my gun in front of me, aiming towards the door as I reach the bottom stairs. Only for Alessia to stumble in with her black stilettos and tiny dress. Anthonio is straight after her telling her to ‘shhhh.
I took in a silent breath. I almost shot at them!
“What the fuck is this?” I bark at them as I slowly lowered my gun and they both jumped out of their skin.
Alessia finally turns to me and hiccups, suppressing another laugh. She’s drunk. No, she’s not drunk. She’s fucking wasted. Anthonio grips her arm to stop her from stumbling into the wall with those ridiculous heels.

“What the fuck were you thinking? I was ready to shoot you both dead!” I growl at Anthonio.
He could barely meet my eyes. He knows he’s done wrong, like a dog who can’t admit to their own mistakes.
“Oops,” Alessia says
with a smile. I–I guess we were too–too loud. Mission failed.”
I watch as Anthonio sucks in a breath. How he thought he’d get away with this, I’ll never know.

“Anthonio.” His name bellows across the room as he finally look at me. “What the fuck were you thinking?!”

He opens his mouth, only to shut it a few seconds later. His hand releases Alessia and she stumbles to the wall. The fact they left the house without some sort of protection is the most stupid thing he could ever do.
We all know by now that Alessia is our biggest weakness. Especially with the incident with that bastard Enzo.
She’s an instant target and it would destroy us all if anything should happen to her again. Honestly, I don’t even trust any other person with her protection. I want to be there wherever she goes.
“Leonardo I-“Anthonio begins to speak but I wave him off.
“I don’t care anymore.” I rasp, my chest heaving.
“You can go now before I do something I’ll regret.”
Anthonio turns from me to Alessia and then nods. “I got her home safe.” He backs away with his hand up in defense. “It’s not like I’d ever allow anything bad to happen to my sister. She was safe the whole time.”
“Leave, Anthonio.”
He nods once more before offering Alessia a smile. She nods back at him but her dark hair falls in front of her eyes. Once the door is shut, I match straight up to Alessia, placing my gun back on safety and putting it down on a ledge.
Alessia’s eyes study me for a moment before she pulls back and analyzes my bare chest. Her gaze dances from tattoo to
tattoo.
“Wow.” She slurs lightly. “You’re like a doodle book.”
What the fuck does that even mean?
“You’re drunk, Alessia,” I stated.
Her deep brown eyes found mine again and she regained her composure. “Yeah…” she said, giggling.
My jaw clenched and I took a step closer. “What the fuck were you thinking leaving this house and not letting me know? Fuck! I thought you were in your bed sleeping!” I whispered and yelled. “You don’t leave this house without my permission and a substantial amount of protection. You of all people should know that after what you went through with Enzo!” Alessia hugs out a breath. “Stop treating me like a prisoner.” She said, attempting to walk past me but I didn’t let her pass.
I was so overcome with a fury that I buried my hand in the back of her hair and I tugged as I towered over her, making sure that she listened to every word.
She stares back into my burning eyes. “I’m just trying to protect you for fucks sake!” I say through gritted teeth.
She’s so stubborn!
“I deserve to have fun and whatever Enzo tried to do doesn’t change anything except take my child from me. He was just a bitter ex trying to get revenge. Who else would be after me? I’ve been on my own for the past year and I was relatively safe until you came into my life.
So excuse me if I choose to have fun and not sit around moping She attempts to shove me off but she’s far too weak.
Her eyes are bloodshot but I know she means every word. Right now, I couldn’t give a single shit about what she wants. She

could get in more danger by being immature.
“You’re completely ignorant of the bigger picture here. This is serious.” Alessia rolls her eyes. “I have a headache.”
She pushes out of my hold and attempts to pull off her shoes, that’s when she truly sways. I shook my head in disbelief.
“If you think we’re done having this conversation, you’ve got another thing coming.”

She scoffs and turns around to me, running a hand through her long hair. “What are you going to do? Eat my pussy again?”
My cock twitched in response.
I would be a Liar if I said the thought didn’t cross my mind. Or the fact that she went out looking so….gosh! I don’t even want to say it. Women in dresses are goddesses but Alessia in a dress holy shit! I don’t want those thoughts invading my brain, not when she’s this drunk and I’m this angry.
Not that her being drunk stopped you the first time though. My subconscious mind taunted but I chose to ignore it.
“No.” My jaw tenses. “I’ll do much more wo
