Alessia Guzman
Leonardo came into view behind Russo.
Russo froze, nodded at him, and took a glance at me before walking further down the hall.
“And what the fuck is my brother doing here?” I asked, immediately Russo was out of earshot. He might be rude and annoying to me but that doesn’t stop me from caring about him.
His eyes shoot to me filled with lust and amusement.
He takes a step closer so that he’s right in front of me. All my confidence slowly began to seep out and I nervously took a step back, clearing my throat.
“What’s that? Not so fierce now?” He said, chuckling.
If only eyes could kill, he would be dead right then and there under my gaze.

“Well, if you must know, let’s just say your brother will be here for a long time as the deal was for him to work for me until your father locates you. And now that I’ve found you, he’d rather remain here than go back to him.” He winked.
“This whole situation is funny to you, right?” I growled at him. “Anyways, I’m just here to return this.”
I held forward the key to the car, eager to be out of his presence. He glanced at it and then looked back at me.
“What’s wrong with it?” He raises an eyebrow.
“What?”
Did he seriously just ask me that?
“What do you mean what..? I got a boyfriend now and I don’t want to be part of whatever stunt
you’re trying to pull. I just-”
“If that’s your reason, then you’re keeping it.” He said, cutting me off.
“Didn’t you hear a word I just said? I said I have a boy-”
“Alessia!” He screamed my name and I jumped out in fear. “I said you’re keeping it.” He said through clenched teeth.
His jaw tenses and he looks away for a few seconds like he has something to say but can’t. “Just keep the damn car, Alessia.” He looks back at me.
“I–I c–can’t. My boyfriend Enzo, he’ll—”
“He’ll what?” His body tenses up.
“It doesn’t matter. I just can’t keep the car, okay?” I shove the keys in his hands and look away.
“How are you going to get home then?”
“I’ll take the bus,” I replied quickly. I just want to get out of here and forget this ever happened.

“It’s not safe.” He mutters, giving me a knowing look.
“I’ll be fine.” I clipped.
Who the hell does he think he is treating me like a child?

I was about to turn around towards the elevator when he suddenly grabbed my arm and motioned with his head towards the window to his left.
It had been snowing mildly earlier but now as I looked out the window, what was once a little snow had turned into a full–on
storm.
“Fine then.” I gave a resigned sigh. “I’ll take the car and give it back tomorrow.”
“You can’t drive in this, Alessia.” My name coming from his mouth sends a chill down my spine.
But wait…
“Like hell, I’m staying here!” I quickly snatched my arm from his grasp.
“Don’t be so stubborn, bambina.” I froze for a second.
“Don’t you dare call me that!”
I needed to get the hell out of here.
“I’ll just stay in the lobby until the snow clears.”
“I don’t give a fuck if I have to drag you inside.
You’re not going anywhere until I say so.” His voice intensifies.
“You wouldn’t dare lay your hands on me,” I said with a scowl on my face.
“I remember laying my hands all over your body and you didn’t seem to have any problem with that.”
I gulp.
“Fuck you!” I said, the hate evident on my face.
“Just get in the house, Alessia.”
“Fine.” I snap. Regretting It immediately.
We walk through the hallway containing two grand staircases on each side. He led me into his kitchen opened up the cabinets, got a glass, and poured himself a cup of water.
He didn’t even offer me one. Not that I’d take anything from him anyway.
“Why did you run away, Alessia?” He suddenly asked. I furrowed my brows at his question.
“Because I like the idea that I can make something of myself and not of what my father can make of me.”
He didn’t seem to be impressed with my answer as he gave a little snort and folded his arms over his chest.

Chapter 10
“That seems like a stupid idea. Visu are not street smart are you?”
“I think some people want other things on their profile as opposed to ‘killer‘ or ‘drug dealer” I fired back at him.
“Ext watch what you fucking way in my house,” He growled at me. “You don’t wanna know what the consequences are.”
“What are you going to do? Kill me like you did that guy at the all-”
His hand hits the counter so hard that the sound of his palms echoes off the walls and surrounds us.
1 shrieked in fean
He started walking up to me and the more he advanced, the more I moved back until 1 hit a wall, practically caging myself.
He grabs my hand, flattening it, and places the car key I shoved at him back in my hand.
“I’m not letting you leave without this.” He sounded different, not like the man with the pent–up anger a few seconds ago.
We stayed like that for a moment before the sound of my phone ringing interrupted us. I took it out of my bag to check the caller ID, it was Enzo, Shit!
I quickly held the phone to my car.
“Hey baby, where are you? I’m at your place but can’t find you.”
“Shit- I’m sorry Enzo, I got held up and I can’t leave in this storm.” My eyes averted to Leonardo whose jaw I swore clenched at that moment, with a pissed–off expression on his face.
“Fine. Just get here when you can, okay? It’s just snow. Don’t be so dramatic.” “Right. Yeah, of course, Enzo.” I whispered and hung up.
“Your boyfriend seems like a delight to be with,” Leonardo muttered sarcastically. He seemed almost disgusted while saying it.
“He has an interesting personality. I can’t say you’re any better when you’d kill anyone who even looked at you the wrong way”
He chuckled at that but didn’t utter a word. “The snow is clearing.” I pause. “I should go.”
I stood still though because something inside me wanted nothing but to stay, against my better judgment.
He moved closer to me, trapping me between his chest and the wall again.
The expression on his face softened and I found myself hypnotized by those green eyes.
Next thing I knew, his lips crashed down on me and I shamefully invited him into my mouth, kissing him back passionately.
Thankfully, I quickly got out of my trance and pushed him away.
“I–I don’t know what’s going on here but whatever you think happened or is happening between us, is never happening again
I immediately started running out of the house but before I got out the door, I heard him mutter. “Keep telling yourself that, anymore.”
