RESURGENCE (rinascita)

Chapter 16

Alessandro's POV

I was sitting in the car outside William's house. I was nervous. It was weird because I never get nervous. I was afraid that I might see Jessica and she may not be the same person I knew. She might be different and what if she doesn't want me and loves someone else? Oh god, I am going insane.

Jules will be here and of course, I won't be able to find her when my whole attention is on Jessica and I don't want her dead. She doesn't deserve to die, at least not because of me. My father will kill her if I won't help her. I didn't come here with him. He can come with his fucking dick.

Someone knocks on my window. I open it and Lucas was standing there. "Dude, will you come or what? I mean, come on, stop being so nervous. Everything gonna be okay." He said when he saw me nervous. And it was something he might have thought was not possible. "Yeah, I am coming." I came out of the car taking the antidote and gave the keys to the people on the duty.

"Hey, calm down and chill. We have no idea if any one of them is present here or not." Lucas said. He was right. We came here on our suspicions. We thought that Jules and Jessica might be here. "I believe that they are here but how are we even supposed to look for them when they don't want anyone to find them?" I asked him.

"Look, Jessica is my sister and I can find her. You know blood relations might work. On the other hand, you will look for Jules because you know her and you have seen her." He said probably thinking that I might not be able to concentrate on Jules while I am looking for Jessica. "Fine," I agreed because I don't want to get Jules killed.

We showed the invitation card to the people standing outside and entered the mansion. We walked inside and it was a hell of a big party. People of all ages moving here and there. Women of all ages laughing and some trying to seduce men. Whores.

No one here knows me because I was kept hidden by Francesco. He will blast this bomb on David's head. Lucas and I separated and started our search. He went to the right while I moved towards my left.

I walked deep into the crowd and looked at all the women in my way. All of them trying to get under my skin and I knew none of them was Jules or Jessica. I will look for both of them. "Hey, handsome." A woman in her early twenties said. Popping her breast out. "Fuck off bitch." I said in an irritated voice. She made the most disgusting expression and strode away. A waiter passed and I grabbed a drink. I moved in and I saw David talking to men of his age. I went towards him because I can fucking introduce myself.

"Hello, Mr. Williams," I said and placed my free hand in my pocket. I hate when someone touches me. Even if it is a handshake. "Hi but sorry I didn't recognize you." He said with a plain expression. "You don't know me but I do know you. I am Alessandro, son of Francesco Dario." I said.

Anyone could notice the surprised expression on his face. "Oh, I didn't know that. It was nice meeting you, Alessandro." He said and extended his hand to shake with me but I just stared at his hand and he then lowered it. He hid Jessica from me. Fucker.

"Francesco will be here shortly. I hope he can give you a reasonable explanation. Just like you will give him about James. Nice meeting you too." I said with a smirk and I could see his expression hardening. I nodded my head and took my leave but just as I was about to turn a familiar voice said, "Oh, David. I see you have met my son." Francesco said.

Shit, "I will take my leave now." I said looking in his eyes. His smile was evident. I hated him and I can't tolerate even looking at him. "Wait," he said. "Now what? What do you want?" I snapped at him. Surprise all written on his face. "Antidote." He said. "Don't worry I will ask someone to bring it from the car and give it to you." I lied because I wanted to find her and I wanted to give her that antidote myself. I don't trust anyone.
