The Unexpected Love

Ch7- Alessio

 I left the room and closed the door behind me. I leaned on the door and took a deep breath. Killing someone for the first time can leave scars. I had getting used to this, Dad slowly introduced us to violence. Massimo and I weren't averted to the idea like our mother, so it wasn't a big deal after a while. Dad and even mom always tried to talk to us in the start, if it bothered us. We got used to it quickly and soon started enjoying it too.

But Isabella isn't like us. I know what she did today wasn't just because of those assholes, it was her pent-up anger, hatred. Greta killed her first man too, and we all know if she wasn't so stuck up on Amo, that day would've gone differently. The kill bothered her and this kill will bother Isa too. Though it shouldn't matter what happens in her life, but if the Vitiellos thought something was up, they might blame us for it. This day was a fucking nightmare.

I walked towards the opposite side to different corridor, where we had our rooms. I saw Nevio coming upstairs almost jogging. He noticed me above the stairs then grimaced. My face definitely showed my annoyance with him. He tried to walk past me, ignoring me. I wouldn't let that happen, I turned to him,

"Why were you following those two?"

He stopped and turned to face me, "I wasn't." A lie.

"So, you just happen to be leaving the mansion right after them and going to the same club with them and of course watching them the whole time." I tried to keep my voice as calm as possible, we wouldn't fight at Vitiello mansion but he was really leaving me no choice here. He looked angry then tilted his head slightly,

"Why were you following me?" Seriously, a topic change, right now?

"I had to make sure you're not causing trouble in Luca's territory. Don't you dare change the topic, tell me what's going on."

"I don't have to explain anything to you."

I shook my head and grabbed his forearm, "See, I don't care whatever the fuck is going on between Aurora and you, and yes, it's fucking obvious something is, but don't do anything stupid. She is Fabiano's daughter and this is not even our territory so either get your shit together or at least tell me before doing something."

He jerked his hand back, his eyes hard, "If I want to do something neither Luca will stop me nor will Fabiano. I know what I am doing and it's absolutely nothing like you think. And more importantly may I ask why I had to take care of two bodies, what the hell did you do?" I thought about it, telling Nevio about this right now doesn't seems like a good option, and Isabella doesn't want anyone to know anyway. I had to call Nevio right before I left so he will make sure bodies aren't there anymore.

"I guess two of us can keep secrets," I said. He regarded me then turned and left to his room. I took a deep breath, seriously keeping Nevio in line is taxing, most of time we did things together so it was fine, we were all involved, but whatever was going with him and Rory, they were not telling many people. I went downstairs, I needed a smoke and I doubt I can sleep right now.

I entered the garden and strolled towards the chair. I sunk down on it and leaned back, I took out my pack of cigarettes and pulled one out of them. I lit them up with my lighter and took a deep drag, savouring the smoke. It released some tension from my body. The ring of my phone tore me away, I pulled it out, Massimo. I picked it up,

"Enjoying New York?" was the first thing out of his mouth.

"Hardly,"

"Oh, please I would kill to be there instead of this shithole."
