My Angel

CHAPTER 13: BETRAYED OR NOT II

Ayla's pov~

      Alessio left me standing in a state of shock and walked out of my room without sparing me another glance.
What was that?

My fingers were still touching my swollen, tingling lips. They felt raw. I had never been kissed like that.

Oh, I had most definitely been kissed by
Alberto, but with Alessio, it was different. Even though the kiss was possessive and hard, it felt gentle.

He didn't kiss me like he wanted to
hurt me. Alessio kissed me like he wanted me to feel him, like he wanted me to enjoy it.

It was sexy and it made me feel out of control. I was out of breath and I couldn't understand why. Why didn't I find it repulsive?

I glanced around my room, breathless. I
tried to find something, anything, that would ground me and help me understand what was going on.

My mind felt rushed and my body tingled from his touch. The effect he had on me was dangerous. I could easily lose myself in him. I couldn't think straight around him.

He was captivating and demanding.
Ruthless, yet gentle. Alessio was a dangerous man but when he touched me, my body responded without fear.

Fear was a constant emotion living inside of me. Slowly, I had started to feel nothing but fear. But with Alessio, his touch rid me of that fear. He made me forget why I should be Scared.

Slowly, I sank down to my bottom and
pulled my knees to my chest, folding my arms over them in a protective manner. Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath.

No matter how hard I tried to avoid him, he would always find me. I couldn't deny him and I couldn't stop him. If he kept playing me like he was, I would slowly lose myself until I had nothing left.

Opening my eyes, I shook my head.
No!!! I couldn't let this happen.
I stood up and quickly put on a black shirt and the blue jeans that Lena had bought for me.

Looking around my room, I felt a pang of
sadness. I thought about Lena and felt hot tears prick my eyes. I would miss her. She was the little light in my dark world. And Maddie.

But I had no other choice. It was time to move on. I couldn't stay in the estate any longer. I wasn't as safe as I had thought.

Alessio was the new danger. His touch, his voice, his controlling stare.
Before he could break whatever was left
inside of me, I had to save myself.

Alessio's pov~

"What?" I growled at Nikolay's statement.
Viktor nodded and took a step forward.

"It makes sense. Ayla is an outsider. Don't you think it's a big coincidence that as soon as she settled in, the Italians started to get information about us?"

Viktor seemed a little conflicted and then shook his head, his expression turning hard again.

"We can't find anything about her. We
have no idea who she is."
For a second, I wanted to scream in denial.

I didn't want to believe that Ayla could be a spy, but when Viktor's words started to
penetrate my mind, it made sense.
He was right. We knew nothing about Ayla, and it was too much of a coincidence that she found me and decided to hide in my car. And then a few days later, the fucking Italians were
getting information about my plans.

"Fuck!" I screamed as I punched the desk.
Raking my aching hand through my hair, I gripped it tightly as rage pulsed through my body.

"That bitch!" I yelled

Phoenix cleared his throat and I saw him
shrug. "It's hard to believe. I mean she looks so innocent, but sometimes the most innocent can be vicious. It's usually the shy one who is the viper."

"They just hide it well," Nikolay added. All
four of my men looked forlorn, as if they
couldn't believe Ayla could be the spy.

I turned around, giving them my back.
Staring outside through my large windows, I let my thoughts wander. I didn't want to believe iteither, but if she was a possible suspect, I couldn't overlook it.

As silence fell upon the room, my anger
started to diminish, but my tense muscles refused to relax. The little kitten had successfully wrapped me around her finger.

I thought I was the master, but clearly she had been playing me.
Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrating in my
pocket. I blew out a frustrated breath and took it out.

"What the fuck do you want?" I snapped
into the phone.

"Boss, Ayla is escaping through her
window."
My eyes widened and the anger was back full force.

"Get on her," I ordered harshly before
hanging up and facing my men. "Ayla is
escaping,"I told them through gritted teeth. They swore simultaneously.

"I want you to go after her" I told Viktor.

"I'll come with you," Nikolay suggested. I
gave him a nod and they started to back out. But before they could close the door, I added,

"Get her to the basement." My voice was brittle and full of venom.
I saw Viktor sigh, and for a second, his
eyes flashed with pity, but it dissipated quickly.

I looked at Phoenix and Artur, my gaze
unyielding asI ordered them out of the room.

"Get out. Call me whern you have her in the basement." They nodded, their faces
impassive as they walked out of the room and closed the door behind them.
Placing my hands on the desk, I leaned
forward and glared at the door.

My knuckles were white with the pressure and my veins throbbed in my throat. My jaw tensed, my teeth grinding in an attempt to control my fury. I wanted to strike something. Someone.

The beast inside of me was raging,
demanding that I kill. Spill the blood of
whoever betrayed me. Only then would I feel at peace.

I felt my eyes turned into slits as
continued to stare at the door. Slowly rolling my neck, I tried to release the tension.

Kitten, you might think you have fooled me, but this is my game now. One way or another, doesn't matter how, I will get the truth out of you.

I hoped that for her sake she hadn't truly
betrayed me.
Because if she had, there would be no mercy!!!
