My Angel

CHAPTER 6: FINDING HER TRUTH

Alessio's pov~
 
         I was leaning back on my sofa chair, head tilted toward the ceiling, my eyes closed when the door opened. I knew who it was without opening my eyes.

Only one person would dare
come into my room without permission.
Opening my eyes, I caught sight of Viktor
strolling in. He closed the door behind him, leaned against it, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Seriously?" he asked as he stared at me,
his face expressionless.
"I need a full background check on Ayla Blinov," I fired back without answering his question.

I knew what he was talking about, but I had no desire to discuss that matter. It was none of his business who I decided to keep or not.

I stood up and walked over to the small
bar. "I'm sure her last name is not Blinov, but I still want a check, in case you find something."
      
After I poured some whiskey in two
glasses, Viktor took one from my hand and sipped slowly.
We both stared at each other, the air tense around us. When his glass was empty, he placed it on the bar and turned back toward me.

"What are you planning, Alessio?" he asked, giving me a strange look.
I shrugged. "Why do you think I'm planning something?"

Viktor scoffed and shook his head.
"Because you never do anything without a plan. The girl trespassed and you are keeping her. Sounds like a plan to me."

He paused for a second and then asked slowly, "Is she a rat? Is that why you are keeping her? To know who she's working with?"

Shaking my head, I glared at him. If it was someone else questioning my decision, they would be on the ground writhing in pain. But Viktor was my second in command.

We were born two weeks apart. His father was my father's second in command. When I took over, it was never a question that he would be my second. He was my brother.

"Do you really think I would keep her if she was a rat?" I asked through gritted teeth. He got on my nerves sometimes.

"Anything is possible with you. Why are you keeping her, anyway?

"None of your business. Do as you're told," I responded harshly.
Viktor nodded and stepped away from the bar. "I'll let you know what I find."

I turned toward the large windows,
dismissing him. I heard his feet shuffling and then the door closed.
I looked down at the glass in my hand as I moved it around my fingers.

"Let's see what we get about you, kitten," I whispered, bringing the glass to my lips.

I was intrigued. My body was coursing with excitement.

I would slowly uncover her, layer by layer
until I knew everything. Every last detail. And when I was done, I would devour her until nothing was left.
       
A few minutes later, I was still standing in front of the large windows that overlooked the majestic back garden.

My phone rang in my pocket and I quickly took it out, arnswering the
call without looking.
"What?" I barked

"There's nothing on her," Viktor said. My
hand tightened around the phone and I
smirked.
I knew it.

"She doesn't even exist in the database," he continued, his voice smooth and calm as if he knew the information wouldn't surprise me.

I let out a small laugh. Shaking my head, I thought about the seemingly innocent girl I found cowering under my bed. The moment I saw her, I knew she was trouble, and instead of taking it out, I invited it.
Why?
Simple. She intrigued me.

"I got this," I said through the phone, and
hung up without waiting for an answer.
Well, this is going to be fun.
I walked away from the window and out of the room.
