63.
Alessandro's POV
"How could I have been so foolish to do that, father?" I asked, raising my brows at me.
He seriously thought I did that?
I killed Morano Vincenzo just like he wanted. Killed his wife and burnt his mansion too in which his daughter was.
I was certain of that.
How she showed up again after so many years still amazed me too.
That night when she was brought down, I saw the mark on her neck.
The wolf tattoo— a clear description of her mafia name, La Lupa. The she wolf.
"I knew it from the start there was something odd about everything." Dad gritted his teeth as he turned his back again.
"Her confidence was beyond the ordinary. She fucking confronted me. I saw it, she had the exact traits of someone. Her late father! Why is she still alive, Alessandro?"
The air was think with tension and the way my father kept opposing and asking this same question pisses me off!
I fucking didn't know why she was still alive.
"I burnt her, father." I replied, trying to beat in some sense.
"Why is she still alive then? Did she reincarnate?"
The question hung in the air and I clenched my fists, my knuckles turning white.
The more he threw those words at me, the more my blood boiled.
"It's not possible." I scoffed. "There must be a mistake somewhere."
"Well…" he looked at me, his chin rising into a smirk. "It's good you've gotten her back and you should know what to do."
"W...what?"
"Kill her, Alessandro. She has wrecked a lot of havoc already. It's obvious she caused your breakup with Regina. You're going crazy over that girl and you don't seem to think straight anymore.
Now you've begun to show make appearance with her in public, throwing assumptions in the air."
"I can't kill her, father. She is an asset to me and I still want her." I insisted.
A loud laughter erupted in the room and my father grinned at me. An evil grin.
"If you can't then I'd do. I'll fucking kill her before they find out she is still alive."
"What do you mean? Who the hell is searching for her?" My curiousity piqued at his words and I was more than impatient to get answers.
"The chase is on the run, son. The ashes now seem to have been awakened by a gentle breeze and is trying to form life again.
The Vincenzo family has a long family line and they're out looking for Morano's daughter, the only heirness to his rule. They can only make her rule in his stead and continue the family mafia games.
They know she is alive and want her back! What do you think will happen when they do?" He paused for a while before lighting a smoke.
"She will find out about everything that has happened and will come back to you to thrust revenge."
No way!
How could this be?
I'd never make them find her. No, Ameila wasn't going to leave me.
She is mine and only for me. I don't care if her family are desperate to get her back.
I would keep her and the whole of her is only for me.
"Don't change the world's impression about you. They know you to be the powerful and mighty son of a beast who is standing before you. Regina is gone and good luck then.
I will break ties with her family and the friendship between us would be called to end. We don't have to be a leach anymore.
We can stand alone and owe noone.
The diamond we took from Vincenzo has gathered so much moss and with that, we can possess the riches and wealth of mother earth, son."
"No, father." I shook my head, my voice booming with finality. "Ameila remains mine and mine alone. Noone can take her away from me. Not even you or her family. I don't fucking care about the chase.
With Ameila, I'll be a selfish Fox! She stays and lives. I will protect her with my life."
"The tables would turn on you, Alessandro." Dad tapped his foot on the floor at each passing second, casting a scrutinising look at me.
"Revenge is best served cold and I swear that bitch will do all in her might to make it hot. She'll rub her comeback on your face and you'll reduce into nothing but ashes. The same nothingness her father is now which you made him be.
You have a lot to handle. Russo is out there raging like a beast. Regina joined in and now The Vincenzo are about to get you. Think about it properly. It's best to be back to your senses soon.
I won't watch you disobey me and put this mafia family at risks because of your stupidity!"
I left my father's mansion, my mind reeling with the tension of things.
What should I fucking do!
First, I had to make sure I get that Orphanage Home Administrator Ameila spoke about.
I have to silence her and make sure Ameila doesn't find out the truth.
A call came through my phone and this time, it was Russo.
I swiped left and ended the call. What did the bastard have to say?
Mock me?
I wasn't some pathetic fool like him to tangle along with his idiotic game.
But I would make sure he regretted all he had done.
My phone beeped for the umpteenth time and I was forced to pick up the call.
"Hi lover boy. Having a great day?" Russo's annoying voice rang in and it broke the last nerve of tolerance left in me.
"What do you want you fool?" I growled, my fists tightened around the steering wheel.
"Oops, seems you've heard the news already. Are you stunned?" His laughter roared in again and I hissed.
"Go to hell. The next time you call my phone, you'd be dead!"
"Is that a threat? What if I tell you your amoretto is right on my bed right now taking my rod?"
