FATES WILL

CHAPTER 36: surprises

Alessandro's POV;

"You smashed the rock you picked up on your own feet. Hahaha."

I looked at my annoying sister laughing her head off. What the heck does she know!

I didn't get to state my argument against her before my father spoke up from the side.

"I can't believe you lost so badly son. Look at you all battered up. You should increase your training". I knew he was laughing at me eventhough he said that with a straight face. I wasn't battered up really, just some injuries here and there, which surprisingly were not fatal at all!

I couldn't deny the loss though, so I looked towards my mom, hoping for some back up.

"Awwn, my darling son, look at you...all...beaten up! This is breaking my heart!"

Wow!! I looked at mom as she swiped her invisible tears. They are all enjoying this aren't they!

Well, I know they aren't really happy with me looking like a mess, with all these wounds. Although they are being subtle, I knew they just wanted me to feel better, and forget about my biggest loss so far.

"Well, I have someone who would definitely show care and worry at my state. I'm going to go find Lexi." I smirked while standing up from the sofa seat I was sitting on.

I had barely taken a step when Drea's voice broght me to a halt.

"And....what are you going to tell her. You got injured while working!? Or maybe, you were careless and fell down the stairs?" Drea looked at me gloatingly.

Can I seriously beat her up!!

"Maybe I can say it was just a little accident, without much details. Besides, the point is...."

"Either way, you won't be seeing her today, cause she just texted me asking to meet up. So, see ya, my poor brother".

I was interrupted mid-sentence as she spoke up again. I didn't even get to process everything, and she had already run away, bidding farewell to our parents who were obviously just watching the fun!!!!

"Andreaaaaaaa!!!"

Drea's POV;

I laughed as I heard my brother's angry roar behind me. Getting my car from the garage, I made my way to Lexi's place.

I didn't really know why she suddenly wanted to meet up. I was still wondering what the reason could be as I made my way inside her home.

En..maybe , it's just because we haven't seen each other for some days. Yay, girl time!!

"Tesoro, ti sono mancato?"(bestie, did you miss me?)

I shouted cheerfully, right after setting foot in Lexis living room. I had my fingerprints inserted for her lock, so I bsically never asked for permission before entering. At least, not when she is home. We are very close after all.

I looked at my best friend looking down at a tablet while giving my overly enthusiatic shout a reply.

"You know I don't get Italian, but I'll take that as you having missed me."

See, we are truely linked!!

I stopped my thoughts from going haywire, and slumped on the seat infront of Lexi. I didn't notice since she had her head down before, but are those...bruises on her forehead?

"You got into a fight?" I asked, almost certain. My brother's going to flip if he knew!

She set down her tablet before facing me. He injuries seem quite severe, although there don't seem to be much on her face, I can see her movements are slower than usual. She definitely had a bad fight!

"You must know our mafias had a fight, your brother had taken my bestfriend in the mafia as a hostage. He was acting as a spy in your brother's base."

"You.." I really didn't expect that her fight was with my brother's men. Our families really can't maintain a good relationship huh!

"I had fought one on one with your brother."

"Oh." Wait, what?!?! That sentence made me stand on the spot. "You..you both...oh god!!"

This really wasn't good. If brother knew he hurt the woman he loves...gosh, I don't even know what to do in this situation. Lexi continued to speak while I remained frozen in my place.

"Actually, I was on my way to see your brother, before I changed my mind and called you."

Huh?!
