Lady In Red

Chapter 1- Captivating beauty

The first few chapters of the story will be in Alleandro's point of view.

Honestly, I'm not Italian and I don't know anything about it. Any Italian word used in this story is gotten from Google translate and an Italian dictionary. No offense if some words are incorrect.

Alleandro's POV

I stared at the laptop in front of me, seeming pleased at the figures on the screen as a recently concluded deal I made,yielded a profit of about 120% which made a small smile appear on my face.

More money for me I thought as I picked up a file to work on.

However, my bliss was short-lived as an unwanted visitor suddenly opened the door that led into my office.

A tall man that looked uncannily like me strolled in like he owned the place and gave me a wide grin.

"Fratello (brother), how wonderful to see you!" My annoying younger brother greeted with glee.

"I can't say the same for you, Marcelo" I muttered rubbing my temples.

Unfortunately, he heard me and placed a hand on his chest in mock hurt as he replied.

"Ouch, you wound me brother." He sighed dramatically.

"That was the intention. Now what do you want? I'm busy" I replied as I glanced over the files and documents scattered over my table.

He shrugged and walked over to one of the seats in front of me and sat down.

"Nothing! Can't I visit my brother again?" He said as he leaned back into the chair.

I narrowed my eyes at him because I know he is lying.

"Just say why you are here because we haven't seen in three months and you suddenly barge into my office here in New York just to say hi?" I questioned him raising my eyebrows up, as he rolled his eyes.

"Relax Bro. Fine I'll tell you." He answered as his face turned serious. "You have to go out. You need to stop choking yourself with work and let loose. Mingle, have some fun, date,... anything."

I looked at him before laughing out. He looked at me like I've grown two heads. Trust my brother to never say something serious.

"What! Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny?" He asked looking at me quizzically.

I shook my head and leaned into my chair. "Nothing I was caught off guard that's all. By the way, what gave you the impression that I'm choking myself with work." I stared at him.

He raised his hand in defense. "Not me,Madre (mother) said so. Technically, we're both growing older and all her friends have grandchildren and she wants to be a grandma too. Since you're the older brother, you're the first priority." He explained.

"Oh I'm the first priority huh? I haven't been with anyone in a while and you have women at your disposal. I'm sure you have a girlfriend go get her pregnant." I huffed out.

"I don't have a girlfriend." He stated nonchalantly as I stared at him in confusion.

"What about Sienna" I asked about his latest conquest.

"We broke up. Besides she wasn't good in bed." He shrugged.

I looked at my brother and proceeded to list the names of the ladies I've seen him with.

"Audrey?"

"She was too skinny and was obsessed about her figure."

"Camilla?"
