Shattered Innocence (BWWM)

//Heavens in your eyes baby girl//

It had been a week and a bit since Alison had last seen Harold and truth be told she had hoped Harold ignored what she had said but it turned it Harold did as she asked. Even Though she knew it was the right thing in telling Harold to leave her alone be that didn't stop her from wanting him.

Alison was out with her friend Stephanie (Stevie's girlfriend from chapter I), helping Steph to find some stuff to decorate their new condo.

They were walking around in an antique shop looking for some for some decorations.

"This is nice" Alison said picking up one of the cushions from the shelf. Stephanie's smiled brightly when she saw the Crimson coloured cushions. "Oh my God I love them!" "Yeah and they match the theme in your bedroom" "Ok it's decided, I'm taking 3 of these". Both girls laughed causing a few people to look at them since it was a fairly quiet shop. They giggled before picking up the cushions.

The two girls found themselves standing in front of a painting in an art store. The painting was very graphic. It was set in the 1300s and had people getting killed, some women getting raped and burning buildings.

"Why would anyone buy that; or even paint that!" Stephanie asked as she pulled a face. Alison couldn't help but think of that was what Harold did in the Mafia. killing innocent people without mercy. What if he raped women? "Yeah...it's disgusting" Alison said quietly. Stephanie turned to Alison to see her looking at the painting deeply. "You ok Alison?" "......I wish I could say yes to that" Alison said before turning to Stephanie. "Let get out of here Steph". Stephanie knew Alison was upset but she left it knowing it had probably to do the CEO of the House of Devino that Stevie had told her about.

Alison and Stephanie were in a big home store looking for a wardrobe.

Alison couldn't help but notice 3 men in suits and glasses in the store. They were both massive and looking like they were on steroids. They looked out of place and who clearly watching the duo. Alison could help but feel extremely nervous and she hoped she would be able to get away quickly.

"I like this one, but I don't think it will go with your bedroom theme" Alison said pointing at the white wardrobe. "It is really nice but I agree with you" Stephanie said nodding with a frown on her face. They continued looking around until they saw the perfect one. It was the perfect size and a burgundy colour. "Stephanie I think this is the one". "yep". Stephanie's phone started rigging. She looked at her phone and instantly smiled. "It's-" "Stevie, I know" Alison said smirking. Stephanie blushed before answering the phone and walking away outside so she could here better.

Alison get eyes burning wholes into the side of her head but she didn't move. She could here foot steps coming towards her and she hoped it was Stephanie but of course God just wasn't merciful at this moment in her life.

"Miss Conde?" A deep voice asked from behind her. Alison turned around to find a man with dark brown hair in a buzz cut format. "Yes?" Alison asked. "This is for you" He said handing holding out a bunch of letters. Alison took them from her confused. "Have a good day miss" the man said before walking away with the other 2 following him out of the store. Alison stared at the door wondering what had just happened. She looked down at the first letter.

It said ' To Alison Conde ' in fancy writing.

And Alison couldn't help but have an idea to who wrote it.

Hey guy's, this is just a filler chapter, it's not as good as I wanted it to be but it was the only idea that I had which followed the story line. I will try and start updating more frequently and I might start doing it on certain days but I'm not sure if I would be able to stay one track but we will see. Thanks for staying with me in the book and I promise things will get more interesting as it goes on. Thank you again x
