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

Twenty Eight

Alessio's Pov

I stared at the ceiling as I laid on my back. Thinking about the text I got from the unknown number, who's watching me?

Hazel moved beside me still very much asleep as I looked at her with a smile on my lips, I tucked the strand kf hair that fell loosely on her face behind her ear.

I sat upright, my back facing Hazel as I contemplated on going to address or not. I settled on the first option as I stood on my feet, strolled into the washroom to do my business. I came of the washroom, and she was still sleeping.

Looks like I wrecked her last night, I smirked at the thought as I got dressed. I planted a kiss on her forehead, before strolling out of the bedroom. I walked out of the house, going into my Bmw as I started the keyless ignition and drove to the location.

Thoughts running in my head, who would send that kind of message to.me knowing very well my family's position in the mafia system. I swerved the wheel of the car as the gps instructed. I halted at an abandoned warehouse.

What in the world?

I tucked my pistol gun inside of my suit trouser as I hopped down of the car. I walked into the warehouse feeling annoyed.

"Whoever you are, stop playing games with me and show your fucking self" I yelled out. A shadow on the wall moved, indicating that someone was coming.

"Ah! Alessio.... Long time no see" That voice belongs to nobody but Mufasa. My jaw clenched as I hit my teeth together, trying to suppress the anger radiating inside of me.

"Mufasa?" Hearing his name, he let out a chuckle. "Ah, Amigo. You do remember me" He walked towards me, his face very clear.

How could I forget him?

"Why do you want?" I asked through gritted teeth.

I thought it was all over. But nothing ends with the Mafia as Lionel said.

"I'm back for you Amigo" He stretched his hand, trying to embrace but I pushed his away before he could come any closer.

Hearing that word, it triggered a particular memory

"You can't banish me from Spain, Alessio" He banged his clenched fist on the table in front of him as I smirked at the state he is now

"Well, looks like I just did" I said making him more angry. I stood on my feet, moving to where he was standing as I spoke.

"You know the Moretti has always have the system wrapped around their hands. Even your father Bruno, can't do nothing to stop this! So it'd be very better and less stressful for you." My lips tilted as I watched him become furious.

He stood on his feet, measuring up with me as he looked at me. "You're just some little boy, Alessio" He barked

"Looks like the little boy just banished you from your native home" I said putting emphasis on the 'native home' with my hand still tugged into my pocket.

He finally grabbed his shits, as he strolled towards the door before stopping at the entrance.

"Alessio?" He called. Sitting down on his now vacant seat as I answered him in annoyance, "What do you want?"

"I'd be back for you!" He said. "And I'd be waiting, mi amigo" I said, with a chuckle as he walked out the door.

Overthroning the mafia leader of Spain isn't so hard after all, is it?

Snapping myself out of the trance as I sent daggers his way.

"What do you want, Mufasa?" I asked again.

He smirked and that just did nothing than add to my boiling state right now. "I've heard a lot about you Alessio" He said, "About Hazel. How is she?"

My eyes widened and my heart skipped in a very bad way of hearing her name come out of his mouth.

"Surprised much?"

Ignoring his question. "How do you know her?"

"You know Alessio, you've made the worse mistake. Falling in love?" He walked around as he spoke.

"Does she know?"

"Know what?"

He clicked his tongue, halting at my front. "You don't have to pretend here Ally" He teased.

"Don't call me that" I warned him.

Raising his hand in surrender, "I nearly forgot she is the only one whose allowed to call you that"

"Does she know?" He asked again sending my heart to race.

"No" I replied.

"How would she react when she finds out you killed and parents and you lied to her?" He asked chuckling. I moved closer to him, but the laser light on my chest made me halt, looking over to the staircase seeing a sniper that I never knew was there.

"You are so naive! So predictable" He said. "You've got a fucking soft heart and it's not right for this line of job!"

His words made me laugh, humourless. "You are just saying this because you want me to step down from the throne, don't you?" I spat out.

"Seeking truce with the enemy?" He asked ignoring my question. "Navy just found out, it's better to to stick to my side"

"Or did she?" His lips quirked up.

"What do you mean?" I asked out of confusion.

"You get stabbed in the back by the people you trust the most Alessio! My meeting is done here with you, don't say I didn't come to pay you some visit" He tapped my shoulder as he walked away with his men leaving me startled.

I walked back to my, bringing it alive as I set it on the road. As I drove home, I processed everything Mufasa she said.

Considering irrelevant?
