(Alessandro's pov)
This woman was gonna be the end of me. Lord when I saw her dancing I couldn't control myself anymore. Like any man. I knew I would have a weakness but never did I think it would be someone that I met at the club. Less than a week ago. I never really liked one night stands but for her I would have changed that, but I know it wouldn't just end as a one night stand.
The power she doesn't know she holds. I noticed that she was looking at someone so I followed her eyes until they landed on Mr. Gallardo. The fucking man who is in charge of the Mexican cartel. The one I had a meeting with not that long ago. The one who likes to taunt me with every little thing he can with.
"Father." That was the first thing I heard from her mouth. From the last persons mouth I wanted it to come from. We know very well of each other and work together here and there but never really kept that much in touch. Which is mainly because of him taunting my every move since I took over the family business.
Don't tell me he is her father. Well she does have his eyes and cheek bone structure but it's impossible or at least I wish it were impossible, but the more that I think about it; it all comes together. She really is his daughter.
He wanted to make a deal with me a few days back. When we were once again talking about deals and shipments.
"Do you want to rule my mafia?" Was his question. Of course I did the Mexican and Italian mafia would be the most feared and powerful. The strongest known in history.
Did I mention I'm the don of the Italian mafia. As cliché it is still being new to the role I have now since it was just given to me.
"Yes but what's the catch." Knowing it would be like marriage or giving him something. I never think I'll be the one to settle down. Never did I see myself doing anything that would be life or death but here I am talking with a powerful man about a dangerous life style.
"You must marry my only daughter she isn't really into this whole mafia thing so I would like to marry her off if your up of the request. She knows nothing about this life ,but I'm not getting any younger." He said in a calm tone. Like hell I would. He knows I never have settled for women even if I could have whichever one I pleased. I just didn't want it.
"No, I have never thought about getting married to a woman. Much less one that I have never even met." I left it at that. I don't deserve anything anymore after what happened last time. If only he knew the last time someone trusted me with their life they died.
"My dear Estella it seems you have met my friend Mr. de Luca." He said with a smirk at the end of his sentence. Fuck this man she is his daughter. It takes me a while to process this all over again.
So this was the woman I would have married huh? Damn I should have just said yes. She's just so perfect from her voice to her smile and her eyes.
Lord please I'm begging you give me another chance I think we both know I don't deserve it but you out of all people know I'm in love with her. Okay maybe love is a strong word ,but there is something about her that is different. I just can't pinpoint out what it is.
Yea I know having a soft spot for her this soon or at all is not a good idea but I don't care. Everyone has their weaknesses and mine happens to be a mexican collage girl who knows nothing about what her family does for a living.
She's already born into a mafia family but she's so innocent that I can't even think about the things her pretty little mouth could moa-
Alessandro get a grip. I mentally slap myself. Fuck she really has this control over me. Damn.
"Papa what are you doing here and how do you two know each other?" Estella seems confused. She just so adorable how will she be in be-
Alessandro one more though and I'll shoot my arm. I think to myself. God fucking damnit her dad is standing there.
"Dear why don't we go to my house and talk about this more in private and I'll answer any questions you like." Her father said to her pulling her in for a hug giving her a kiss on the crown of her head. I fucked up really badly.
She nods and we are now all in a car on our way to his house. In less than 2 hours I see her again we talk again and now here is her father in front of us out of nowhere like we didn't talk about a deal only days ago.
Estella was next to me but after fighting myself not to do this ,but I pulled her on my lap and let her rest her head on my shoulder. It was an half-an hour drive so once we got there we went into a the kitchen.
I made sure to stay close to her because I don't know why he kept giving me that look. That son of a.
"Well my dear this man is who you were supposed to marry but I found someone that would like to meet you and marry you if you choose to." David (her dad) said. Like I wasn't standing next to her. I swear I could hear the smirk on his lips. He did this on purpose. He purposely did this in front of me. His taunts are getting better than before.
"You did what!" I said angry. Maybe I did go over bored on my reaction but who said a man with his people on his shoulders isn't allowed to over react. The thought of another man having his hands on her perfect little figure and them having sex made my blood boil. I know men in this damn business and I know that who ever he set her up with would love her body before even knowing who she really was. LIke I want to know her.
"How much." Was what I asked her father. Not a question more like a statement. At this point I knew that it was no longer gonna just be marriage ,because what does he have to lose. Nothing. He loses nothing At this point because I know he's a smart enough man to choose someone good enough for Estella. Estella is just so confused but she just doesn't seem to want to meet a stranger. The way she is holding her arms around herself I have a feeling she was thinking I was buying her. Which I kinda was but not the point. I just didn't trust men. And I should be the last person to trust myself with.
"My boy what do you mean...Did you fall for my daughter?" He coos looking up at me. God his smirk is just making me want to kill him. He's so cocky. But in fact yes I did fall in love with your daughter but you didn't need to know that. He was the last person that needed to know that fact.
"How much for her to come with me and not that little boy you want to set her up with." I grit and noticed that she was now glaring at her father. That glare kinda scared me. Honestly a lot of things will scare me in the future when it comes to her and her safety.
I swear if he wasn't her father he would have a bullet through his skull but I would also have the whole Mexican cartel on me. All three to be exact. His nephew running one is old friend running the other and himself.
"2 million." he says. Flat and cold.
LIke that amount of money will do anything. That's nothing "Deal." I reply with.
Now it was time for him to explain himself to his daughter. She just shook her head in disbelief. Atta girl.
"My dear I know I was never really in your life ,but that was for you not to get hurt. Me and your mother can't care for you anymore we're growing old and hove our own things to deal with ,so I just married you to Alessandro." He finishes with a sad smile looking down at her.
She looked disappointed but I can't seem to figure out if it's because she's was married off or that she doesn't like me. But she's mine all mine and I never will let anyone hurt her. Not even my inner demons are getting to her.
