Chapter 77
Alessia Guzman
We quickly walked outside to start getting all my clothes, shoes and even some unnecessary stuff according to Russo inside the house.
I’m quite excited to start sorting through everything because it’s been a while since I knew independence and it’s quite thrilling to be on the verge of doing it again.
“I’ll get the wifi sorted through with the security
ity Birm.” Russo · said, tapping away at the screen of his phone.
I hum and leaned forward to the box that had my study materials, my notes and laptop inside. I opened the box to find that something inside was soaking wet and swimming in brown dirt. I almost jumped out of my skin at the sight before me. “What the fuck?”
Russo rushes over to my side and peers through the window. “What?”
My fists tightened as I began to bring out my study books, “Fuck!” I flicked through the wet

“The van must have been wet.” Russo comments and shakes his head. “I have them pay for this shit.”.
I huffed
out a breath. “But I needed these books for the test I was preparing for.”
Russo places a hand on my shoulder while placing his phone on his ear. “I’ll sort it out, Al. Don’t worry.”
But that did nothing to calm my panicky heart.
What if this was Landon’s attempt at a threat?
I grabbed my laptop which was sitting at the top and prayed that it wouldn’t also have water damage.
It takes a few moments to turn on but eventually, the screen flashes on and I take a fresh breath of relief. At least, it’s still working.
I glanced back at the books though and I frowned.
Russo steps away screaming at whomever it is that was on the phone right now but I already knew it was something that they wouldn’t be able to fix. A hand runs down my face and I frown.
“It’s gonna be fine, Al” Russo said, attempting to be reassuring.
My mouth curls into a forced smile because I’ve become really invested in this course and I wouldn’t want to have a bad or low grade.
“Can’t you access most of it online anyway? Someone must’ve posted them online, right?”

I guess I could move around now. That thouglu made me feel a bit of relief

Russo wanted to stay the night with me but I insisted that I’d be okay a alone.” This is an isolated place afterall.
I was making myself some dinner when my phone began to ring on the counter. “Hey baby girl” Isabella’s voice shrieked in my ear.

“Hey, what’s up Isa.” I beamed, leaning against the counter. “Why aren’t you here yet?” I asked jokingly
“I just finished talking with Russo and you’re not going to believe this but we are going out!!! Just us! It took a lot to convince him but he finally agreed to us having a quiet girls night because we just got our apartment!!” She screamed in my ear. She sounded like she was jumping up and down wherever she wa
a couple of hours ago!” I asked, skeptical but
“How did you manage to convince him? I know he can be a bit of an ass but how? He just left here a c excited.
“I don’t think you want me to answer that honestly.” She whispered.
“Ewwow! Isa” I screamed.
e need to celebrate.
“What!! Come on pleaseeeee. We
“Erm- I don’t think so, Isa. Could we not celebrate somewhere else? Maybe you should try coming over to actually see the house that we both own for starters. I’m no longer comfortable going out without either my brothers or Leonardo. You know exactly what Enzo did to me. I’m scared, Isa.
That’s why you should celebrate because that motherfucker is dead and I already told you it’s an amazing opportunity because no one could possibly know you or where you live because that’s a secured environment and you just moved in today! Please? You’ll definitely be coming with a bodyguard of course.
“Ughhh. Isa you’re killing me here.”
“Come on.”
“Okay fine. I’ll meet you there at eight. Just send me the location”
soon)
“Yay! Okay, bye. See you soon
I hung up the phone grunting, wondering why I just couldn’t tell her no. Russo couldn’t have agreed to this if he was in his right mind!
I took out a red strapless dress that goes up to mid thigh. It’s a pretty basic dress and there was nothing special about it. I just don’t want to wear anything provocative especially when Leonardo wouldn’t be anywhere in view.
I did some quick makeup and put on some black heels that weren’t too high.
I checked my phone about twenty five minutes later to see the location that Isabella sent me. It’s a bar a bit further away. Although it was nowhere I’ve heard of before but I’m pretty sure it’s the perfect bar to be.
I was about to call Leonardo to tell him I’m going out but I changed my mind at the last minute because I don’t want to seem too dependent on
him.
I grabbed my car keys for probably the first time and headed to the garage where my range rover was parked. I beckoned to a bodyguard to accompany me.
He headed to the driver’s seat while I sat comfortably in the back seat.
A couple minutes later, he parked outside the club and after going through security, I headed inside.
I couldn’t help but reminisce on the fact that if it was Leonardo with me, I wouldn’t have to go through any security justies.
