CHAPTER 38: info on 'Z'

Alessandro's POV;

"Quindi non ha mentito?" (So, she didn't lie?)

I glared at one of my men whom I sent after Drea a few hours ago. I'm not trying to keep tabs on her or anything. But, she likes to mess with me too much, I just wanted to make sure she really went to Lexi. Unfortunately, it turned out she did go there.

This may not be that bad a thing though, since I didn't really have a valid excuse for my bruises anyway.

Hmm, I think I haven't sent Lexi flowers in quite a while. Blame my stupid work.

Should I send her a huge bunch of red roses again? Will she think it's too over the top, like before? Maybe she won't if it's just the flowers without all the excess stuff!

When should I send it? When she is done with classes or right to her door?

"ZANDROOO"

"What!! What!!!" I almost fell down my swivel chair as the scream reverberated throughout the room. I glared at the culprit, who was looking at me like nothing happened.

"ROMAN!!" I spat out his name through gritted teeth, showing how pissed off I was.

"Hehe." He laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry, I was just so excited. Our spies in the American mafia sent news. We lost contact with him afterwards though. We are still trying to get to him, although there is a high chance he is already dead." His face was solemn as he continued.

"He was able to send us vital info on 'Z'!"

Lexi's POV;

"Well..." Drea continued probing me, as I kept mum. Her question was swirling in my head. I didn't have an answer to it either.

Was I going to accept Zandro? Am I going to tell him how I feel? Could we have a lasting relationship? Well, you never know until you try, right?

"Hellooo...earth to Alexis!!" I came out of my thoughts as Drea screamed like always.

I made up my mind, and smiled a very genuine smile at her, before replying to her earlier question. "I'm going to tell him. As a matter of fact, I want to make it special when I do, and you're going to help me!"

"Yipeeeee, I have been waiting for this day for so long." I raised a brow as my silly friend erased her fake tears. "But, does this also mean you will tell him about you being part of the American mafia?"

"No, I don't think it's time for that yet. I want to try making our relationship work first, and ensure we are very close, before telling him I'm his enemy's sister!" I said the last part almost jokingly, despite being serious about it.

"Great, lets go do some shopping to celebrate. Cover your face a little with a scarf or something. The bruises aren't too bad, but they are definitely not very nice!"

I laughed a little before getting ready to go shopping with Drea. Tiresome trip, here I come!!

I bid goodbye to Drea as she dropped me off at my place after our shopping spree. I carried the various bags in my hands before making my way up to my unit.

I had just input my finger print and opened the door to my apartment when I felt a muzzle at the back of my head. A muzzle of a gun!
