The Debt of Love {The Fractured Hearts Series Book 1}

Alessio's Pov

Navas called for all of us, I mean Lionel, Antonio and I to his study early this morning. Lionel is still brooding over the news of getting married to Marisol, forgetting how it works with us.

We get married to other powerful family for the empire to grow. The mafia system doesn't really care if it's a loveless marriage, it is called business. Sitting across the table, with my feet stretched out on them. I listened to Navas talk.

"About the attack that happened last night, who do you think must have ambushed the ball?" Navas asked as he sipped the brown liquor from the glass cup in his hand. About the attack, I had partially forgotten about that as I got distracted.

Really distracted.

My mind drifts back to the events of last night, the sex with Hazel. The best sex of my light. The images still payed out in my head as if it was happening all of over again.

From been lost in her deep hazel eyes to kissing her, then it got intense as I moved my hand all over her body undressing her and hers did the same too.

Antonio's voice drifted me out of my trance as I looked at him in shock. "Che cosa?" I yelled as Antonio's eyes fell on me. "You heard me right, they are Mufasa's men. I don't know how but they got into this place" He explained.

[Translation: What?]

I brought my leg down from the table, slamming my clenched fist on it in anger. "What do you mean Mufasa's men? I thought Mufasa was in the States?" Why would Mufasa be here in Italy? He resigned from the system five years ago!

"Not to worry, this place is tight with security now. Nothing's gonna happen" Navas reassured. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts as silence consumed us, I looked over to Lionel who has been quiet since this meeting has commenced.

"It'd be someone from the inside who gave them access to get in. Someone who knows this place very well, someone who knows how the system of our security works" Lionel said as if he www reading my mind. "You mean one of the lieutenants?" Antonio asked.

"Probabilmente" He said. "Or maybe they had just followed us here, Alessio you know Mufasa has always had his eyes on you. He detests our clan for having power over all the Mafias in the world and you sitting on his native land's throne?" He adds.

"Cara Dio! I thought this mess has ended years ago" I nagged in rage making Lionel chuckle. What's up with him?

"Nothing ends for the Mafias, fratello. I'd be on my way to Mexico now, I've gotta take Marisol too since she is my wife to be" He made emphasis on 'wife to be' shooting Navas a glare before walking out of the study. I feel really bad for Lionel, there was a time where I didn't give two fucks about arranged marriages and now here I am, bothering about marrying someone else apart from her.

Hazel Brown, what are you doing to me?

"We've gotta go. Staying here would put Mama's life in danger alongside with yours and Zia Rita." We left the study and I found my way to the room I left Hazel in.

Hazel's Pov

Now we are in Alessio's private jet heading back to his place. I stole a glance at him as his head was tilted back,resting on the base of the chair with his eyes closed. He had gone back to his cold stupid behavior and I feel super stupid for letting him fuck me last night even tho I really enjoyed how he did.

Gosh! Does he know how to fuck! The way his lips travelled down my body, as he finger fucked me. The way his tongue graciously licked every corner of my vagina, the way he muffed me. Fucked me?
Just the thought of it makes my thighs clench together. I inhaled sharply as I moved my eyes to Alessio, summoning courage to speak with him.

"Alessio?" I called him. He rose his head to look at me, his deep brown eyes piercing into mine.

Focus Hazel! I cautioned myself.

I cleared my throat, "What's with the cold shoulders?" I asked making him click his tongue. "Drop it" He said flatly.

"Alessio, I'm gonna ask you one more time, what's with the cold shoulders?" I said, practically raising my voice. He rolled his eyes at me, "I said drop it" He said through gritted teeth.

"Look Alessio, I'm the one meant to be getting annoyed here!"I said. "You can't just fuck me one night and act as if nothing happened the next morning. If it means nothing to you, it mean something to me, not just something but the world. Alessio, you fucking took my v card" I half yelled as tears rolled down my cheeks making his eyes widen.

"Hazel, why did you say that?" He said with a softer voice. "Because that's how I feel!" I slammed my hands on the armrests.

"No, like I mean when you said I can't just fuck you one night and act as if nothing happened the next morning. You make me sound like some typical asshole"

"Maybe that's what you are" More tears rolled down my eyes, as he moved closer to me, cleaning the tears on my cheek.

"Carino, can you just stop crying. It's hurting me and I have a very good reason for doing that. It's good for you" I pushed his hand away from my face as I looked at him in disbelief.

"Why can't you let me decide what's good for me." I took his hand in his looking straight into his eyes. "I want you Alessio"

He took his hand away from me muttering some words his italian that I couldn't understand. "You don't seem to get it. My world is dangerous and I don't want you to dive into it" He said in one breath.

"I can handle your world. After all I could before things took a twist between us, we can't let some dangerous shit deprive us from our relationship." He looked at me for a minute before smashing his lips for mine.

We pulled away, as his thumb touched my lips gently sending shivers to my spine. "Does that..."

Before I could finish, he cut me off. "Si" He said as a huge smile found its way to my lips. I leaned in and peck him on his lips. He held my hand in his as I tilted my head up to look at the ceiling of the plane.

"Hazel?" I turned my attention to him. "Please call me Ally" He pleaded making me chuckle.

Look who's grown to like the name.
