Prisoner In His Cage

Chapter 1 : The encounter

Venice, Italy

The morning sun cast a golden glow over the canals of Venice, making the water shimmer like liquid gold. The air was filled with the scent of fresh pastries and the soft hum of the city waking up. In a quaint corner café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the chatter of locals.

Kelly stood behind the counter, her auburn hair pulled back in a ponytail, her brown eyes bright with anticipation for the day ahead. She loved the morning shift, the quiet moments before the rush, when she could gather her thoughts and prepare for her classes at the University of Venice.

*Kelly's Life

Balancing work and studies was never easy, but Kelly thrived on the challenge. She was in her third year, majoring in economics, with dreams of a future where she could make a difference. The coffee shop job was her way of staying grounded, a reminder of where she came from and where she was headed.

As she prepared a cappuccino for a regular customer, her mind wandered to her upcoming presentation. It was an important one, and she had spent countless hours perfecting it. Lost in thought, she didn't notice the tall, dark figure that entered the café.

                    ~First Meeting~

Alexandro Rossi stepped into the café, his presence commanding attention. Dressed in a tailored suit, he exuded an aura of power and mystery. His dark eyes scanned the room before settling on Kelly. There was something about her—an innocence, a determination—that intrigued him.

Kelly looked up just as Alexandro approached the counter. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world around them seemed to blur. Her heart raced, and she felt a strange pull towards this stranger.

"Good morning. What can I get for you?" Kelly asked, her voice steady despite the flutter in her chest.

"Espresso. Strong," Alexandro replied, his voice deep and smooth.

As Kelly prepared his drink, she couldn't help but steal glances at him. There was something captivating about him, something that set him apart from anyone she had ever met.

When she handed him the espresso, their fingers brushed, sending a jolt of electricity through her. Alexandro’s eyes darkened, a flicker of something intense passing through them.

"Thank you," he said, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessary.

"You're welcome," Kelly replied, trying to ignore the heat rising to her cheeks.

As Alexandro walked away, Kelly felt a strange sense of loss. She shook her head, trying to focus on her work. She had no time for distractions, especially not those involving mysterious strangers.

But Alexandro Rossi was no ordinary man. He was a force of nature, and their paths were destined to intertwine in ways Kelly could never have imagined.

Alexandro  pov :

Alexandro sipped his espresso, his mind racing. He had not expected to find someone like Kelly in a small coffee shop. There was something about her that drew him in, a light that shone through the darkness of his world.

He watched her from a distance, noting her grace and determination. She was unlike anyone he had ever known, and for the first time in a long while, he felt something stir within him.

As he left the café, Alexandro knew one thing for certain: this was not the last time he would see Kelly. Their lives were about to collide in ways neither of them could predict, igniting a fire that would burn through their worlds.
