Alessio's pov

I look at Elena. She peacefully sleeps in my bed. I slept on the couch tonight. I don't want to get her that uncomfortable. The sun is rising so it time for me to get ready. I grab my clothes and put them on. My phone starts to ring.

Ciao capo, did you sleep well?
I did Marko, I did. What's the news today?
Today.. uhm nothing much. The police was out today at 4, a bank robbery. Also at 5 and 6, fight with guns. Two of our man are down and 3 are wounded.
That was everything Marko?
Wait wait wait, what did you say Rick. Oh uhm capo, you also have a meeting with your father today. Business.
Okay okay fine, I'll see you in two hours, bye marko.

I sigh. My father is a bad man, you maybe think I'm a bad man but I'm not that bad. My father is a man killer, he slaughtered many man without telling why. Other Maffia bosses are close, we have been in a kind of war lately. And that is my fathers fault. He killed many man of the Chinese Maffia and the Mexican Maffia.
'Capo!' Someone says. I look up and straighten my clothes. It's Luca.
'Good morning sir. Mariah Made you Your favorite breakfast sir. Uhm I can get you some coffee.. maybe also for the lady upstairs..'
I can see Luca is afraid of me. For some reason I understand, it's hard to know people are afraid of me. I'm not that mean or scary, I'm just someone with the wrong parents and the wrong job.
'Only coffee for me Luca. You can have some free time for yourself'
I walk towards the kitchen and sit down for a second, just thinking about today. How can I let her stay home alone while knowing she will escape. Elena is a sweet girl and I know I made some mistakes when I was younger but I want her to care about me, to like me and hang out with me whenever she likes. I planned the dinner tonight to get to know each other. Maybe she will be interested in me. Maybe not. But the thing is that I can't tell her I'm a maffia boss. I mean what if she would freak out and leave me, also I can't put her on a risk. If she approaches the wrong guys she will be dead. I need to protect her every second of the day even tho I can't.
'Good morning sir, I made you your breakfast' Mariah says with a sleepy head. Mariah and I know each other for a long time, she works for me almost 15 years. Before I was the boss she served my father, and my father wasn't that nice to her.
'grazie Mariah, can I ask you a favor?' I ask her with a sigh. She nods and puts the plate with pancakes down.
'Will you babysit on Elena for today with Alfred. Just take her with you you know.. trough the village. I have a business meeting today so I want to be ready for tonight. Oh and take her to the shop we went to yesterday, she needs a dress' I say demanding actually.
Mariah nods. 'Thank would be lovely. I'll inform Alfred'

After i informed Elena I went to the local place my father meets. Between the sea containers. He has his man with him, George and Liam. I know those guys for ages and they still don't trust me.
'ID sir' George says without any emotions. Like he doesn't even know me.
I show my ID and walk towards my father.
'Padre' I say kind of intimidated.
He gives me 3 kisses on the cheeks and sits down. 'So my figlio, how are you?'
Im kind of shocked. He never asks me personal questions. 'Good padre good, grazie for asking'
He stares at me. My father is a though one. No one ver understands him. 'Your brother and I have talked a lot lately. I want a family dinner soon. And with soon I mean next week'
'Next week!? But padre-..'
'No buts here Alessio, I want a family dinner with your mother, your brother and me. No one else' my father says a little moody. I think about Elena, how can I say no to our dinner when.. uhg.
'Father, I can come to the dinner but I have my.. uhm girlfriend.. can she maybe come.. per favore?' I ask politely. Maybe he will change his mind.
My father begins to laugh. 'You have a girlfriend?!'
I am kind of shocked and nod. 'Yess is that weird..'
'And your asking me if she can come!?'
I can feel my fathers tone change. 'Yes why not. You can you know.. meet her' I say cared of his reaction.
My father sighs and stands up. 'She's not coming! Your 'girlfriend' is only for the money Alessio. She would never like you! No one would like you just for you!'
His words hurt my feelings. How can he say that to me. It's Something special that doesn't exist yet.
'She's not for my money padre! And she will come weather you like it or not!'

I headed home, I can't stand my father this way. Always talking about money and how important it is. How every girl would come for my money. I know I kind of lied to him about Elena but it's true. She eventually will be my girl.
I walk towards the kitchen to grab some food. I'm starving. The second I enter the kitchen I see Elena and Luca, having fun!?
'Luca!' I say with a moody tone. In some kind of way I feel jealousy. Why? I don't know. But it's just..
'Im sorry sir.. Uhm was your day great?' Luca asks shocked. I see fear in Elena's eyes. I can read her so well, she want to stay strong. She wants to show me she isn't afraid of me but I'm reality she is. I sigh and walk a little closer.
'Elena, we're having different plans next week. Your going to meet my father..'
