Tattered Love

Chapter 26

I begin to look over Alessio's new divorce papers yet again, for the fourth week and ten divorce papers later. Still we're at a standstill on a plan. Each one is too dangerous or has small holes in them that can be filled. I roll my eyes at the amount I'd be given through the divorce. No a coin in the agreement. With my pen I begin to mark out random lines as if they were important in our disagreement. I'm starting to feel exhausted over this acting and screaming as if we hate each other. I put my smile and small giggles away and replace it with a stone cold bitchy mask that isn't who I am. I storm out my room and down the stairs as I roughly bump Ana into the wall. I should have felt bad but I didn't. I corner Alessio in the kitchen with Ana lurching near by like always.

"Alessio! What the fuck is this?!" I yell out as I thrust the papers into his chest.

"Erm. Divorce papers like you asked for." He says in confusion. He rolls his eyes and begins to ignore my stares.

"What's the issue now?" Alexander asks with his signature smirk.

"Not a coin to my name in this damn thing!" I grumble in irritation. Arcangelo is behind me snickering as Adriano looks shocked.

"Seriously Alessio? I would be fuming too." Antonio comments with a displeased tone.

"What? She wouldn't take the amounts I given so I figured none than." Alessio says with a shrug of his shoulders like this discussion doesn't matter.

"I deserve something since I had to put up with so much shit from you. All the demeaning comments on my size, the attitudes, the mistress, the pregnant mistress, emotion damage, and the heartbreak that comes with it all." I rant as I storm back out of the kitchen and head back up to my room. Each step my heart breaks and with each step I'm wiping away tears that have begin to fall.

"Issy! Wait a damn minute." Alessio's voice booms behind me. I ignore him like he done me and open my door. Before I can slam it shut, a hand blocks it. My door is pushed back open and I'm standing in front of a fuming Alessio.

What the hell is he pissed off about?

"What the hell do you want Issy?" Alessio questions.

"It clearly doesn't matter what I want. Just sign the fucking divorce papers!" I snap. With a small shove of his palm, he moves me back and steps into my bedroom. He closes the door with too much force. His hands cup my cheeks and begin to swipe away the remainder of my tears. He dips down and gives a feather light kiss on my lips.

"You're becoming very convincing Princess. I almost believe you want me to sign those damn things." He comments with his brow quirked.

"Sometimes... I wonder if we should sign them. This is getting exhausting Ales. It's so draining. When will this all end?" I whisper in frustration as tears begin to fall yet again.

"Soon my queen. Soon." He whispers to me as he gently wipes away my fallen tears yet again.

"Plan?" My voice cracks from the screaming and being upset.

"I have one. Just give me a few more days before it can fall into place." Alessio whispers in my ear.

"What plan?" My voice is barely audible.

"You'll find out soon. Alex and Arc will be speaking with you on it. In your office this evening." Alessio says with a wink. With the last of his words, he places a small kiss on my cheek. He exits my bedroom as if he never was here. I look at the clock and notice I have a few hours until I need to get ready. I plop on my bed and begin to drift away to LaLaLand. Only thing playing in my dreams is what plan?

My snoring wakes me up and I realize I'm ten minutes late for our meeting. I run my fingers through my unruly hair and begin to run through the Manor. I race down the dangerous stairs. I'm out of breath by the time I reach Alex and Arc.

"Well, she's alive!" Arcangelo jokes.

I close the door to my office and take a seat at my desk.

"Alessio has your family in a safe house that only he knows about." Arcangelo starts off.

"The ones watching over them are eliminated. We have all five of their phones. We text updates to them so they don't become suspicious. Now onto the next part." Alexander pauses for a moment. Which causes Arcangelo to peep in.

"Alessio is going to lure Ana and Andrè out to a secret location. They'll be following behind Alessio, Adriano, and Dad. Antonio and I will be fifteen minutes behind them. You'll travel with Zek, your personal body guard and Alexander. They will have weapons stocked in the back. You will leave thirty after us. Ana and Andrè will have their men trailing behind them because we aren't stupid. Plus we want them to follow; it'll kill two issues with one plot. We're going to our empty warehouse thirty minutes from here. Zek and Alex know the location. When you leave here, you'll have a blueprint hidden under your mattress. Study it and memorize the blueprint. Because once you enter, it'll be a war zone. Alessio will gut everyone including us alive if you get lost or get injured. Continue your advanced training and weapons training until we leave in six days. Until then, rip Alessio a new asshole with those divorce papers." Arcangelo explains the plan while taking a jab at Alessio in the end. I walk out the office with a motive on my mind.

Find those blueprints.
