HER REVENGE

28.

Alessandro gently placed Chiara in the car and then got in himself. Once they were both seated, Chiara turned to him, her eyes full of questions.

"How did you know I was in trouble?" she asked,
FLASH BACK 💥

"Where's Mr. Perez?" Isabella said, rushing towards Elena.

"He's in his office," Elena said, gesturing towards the door.
Isabella hurried to Alessandro's office and burst through the door.

"Sir, Mrs. Chiara is in trouble!" she said, breathless.

Alessandro looked up from his desk, his face a mask of impatience. "What are you talking about?"

Isabella quickly pulled out her phone and showed him the video. "Just look at this,"

Alessandro said nothing, his face like stone.

"Sir, I think you should go to her,"

"She can take care of herself," Alessandro said, his tone dismissive. He turned back to his work, as if the matter was closed.

FLASH END ✨

"You came," Chiara said "Thank you so much."

"I thought you were brave," Alessandro said

Chiara's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I was caught off guard,"
Alessandro chuckled.
★★★

"You're such a failure!" Giulia yelled at Rosalba,

"Don't you dare talk back to me," Rosalba said,

"I should never have taken you on my plane,I gave you the right files, but you managed to screw it all up!"

Rosalba's hands balled into fists, her nails digging into her palms. "Did you know Alessandro would show up?"

"And so what?" Giulia shot back, her eyes flashing with rage. "Do you know what I had to go through to get all those documents and information?"

"The deed is done," Rosalba said,"Let's figure out another way to move forward."

Giulia huffed"I'll figure this out myself, I don't need your help. You're just a waste of time and effort."And with that, she stormed out of the room, leaving Rosalba alone.

Just then, Rosalba's phone buzzed with a message.💬 "I can help you get Alessandro," it read.

★★★
Massimo smirked as he put his phone down, feeling satisfied with how things had gone."That was quite impressive,"

"What's the next step?" Giovanni asked

Massimo thought for a moment, his mind racing. "It seems like Alessandro is already falling for Chiara,"

"And it seems Chiara is already falling for him, too," Giovanni said, a hint of worry in his voice.

"Obviously, she has a very weak heart, She went there for revenge, and ended up falling for him instead."

"So, what do we do now?" Giovanni asked, his brow furrowed.

"Get Giulia to bring her to me,"
★★★

Fabrizio slammed his phone down, his frustration palpable.
"Find me everything you can about Chiara Gonzalez," he barked at Stone,

"Yes, boss," Stone replied, his eyes downcast.

"How dare you, Alessandro? You think you can outsmart me? It's impressive, but it's sad that your happy life is about to come to an end. I won't let you be happy. I'll make your life miserable."
★★★

Lucia rushed into the room."Chiara, are you okay?" Lucia asked,

"Who let you in?" Chiara asked, her eyes narrowing.

"Alessandro did. I came with Luca, so I begged him to let me see you," Luica explained,

"He did,"

"Yes, he seems nice and calm,"

"How is the shop doing?" Chiara asked, trying to change the subject.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I am, it's just that this is the first time something like this has happened to me,"

Luica's face softened, and she reached out to give her a comforting hug."You're going to have to get used to it, You married a popular millionaire."

"I know," Chiara said, her voice heavy with a sigh. "But it's tough."

"Well, whatever, I love this shoe."

"Wait, are you here to comfort me or to steal my things?" Chiara asked, a teasing smile on her face.

"A bit of both, I suppose," Luica said, laughing.

★★★

Luca showed him the pictures, his face clouded with worry. "It seems like someone is stalking Chiara."

"Who else could it be but Massimo?" Alessandro said, his voice tight with anger.

"What are you going to do?"

"For now, she'll be working in my company, so I can keep an eye on her,"

"I've never seen you this protective before,"

"What do you mean by that?" Alessandro asked, his brow furrowed.

"Do you love her?"

"Shut up,"

"Don't shut me up," Luca said, a smile playing on his lips. "You love her already."

Alessandro let out a chuckle, shaking his head. "You're ridiculous,"

"I'm just telling it like it is," Luca said, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
★★★

"Paola, the way you're eating these days is kind of too much," Vittoria said,

"I'm just hungry," Paola said, shrugging.

"But that combination of foods is really weird, and look at you! You've put on weight," Carmela said

"That's because I haven't had anything to do lately," Paola said, trying to defend herself.

"Stop making excuses," Vittoria said"Look at us, we haven't been on any missions lately, but we're not gaining weight."

"You're pregnant!" Carmela exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"No, I'm not!" Paola said, her voice rising in frustration.

"You should go to the hospital and get yourself checked out, before the boss finds out," Vittoria said

"You know the rules," Carmela added. "No pregnant women are allowed."

"There's nothing to check, because I'm not pregnant!" Paola insisted, her voice growing more
★★★
Chiara was smiling and greeting some of the investors when Alessandro walked into the company.

"Pfft, she never smiles at me like that," he muttered under his breath.

"Are you talking to me, boss?" Francis asked

" send Chiara to my office," Alessandro said,

A few minutes later, Chiara entered his office."You sent for me, hubby?" Chiara asked, a playful note in her voice.

"Must you smile at them like that?" Alessandro said,

"What do you mean?" Chiara asked, a touch of confusion in her voice.

"Must you smile in the office?" Alessandro snapped,

Chiara's eyes widened, her brow furrowing. "Are you serious?"

"Seriously, you've never smiled at me like that," Alessandro said,Chiara blinked, her eyes wide.

"Don't smile at other people, Your smile is only for me."

"What?" Chiara asked,

"Yes, you're not to smile at anyone but me," Alessandro said,
