Chapter 75

My eyebrows quirked gently at the news. “You think it would happen that soon though?” Tasked.
I had no idea that Landon would be this eager to meet up with Alfonso, not this soon anyway but I wasn’t surprised since he’s always so desperate for money and power. He probably thinks it’s the perfect opportunity for him to gain more money and I wish I could see the look on his face right now when he realizes that we’re just messing with him.
“Faster than I expected.” He says. “But I can get everything set up before anything to give us a head start.”
My lips curled into a smile. “Sounds like a plan.”
“I also believe that some of his soldiers are loitering around”
“He said i
In warning.
“Especially with my club now open, trying to probably make sure I’m legit.”
“I suspected as much,” I admit and push up my sleeves to my elbow.
Alfonso cleared his throat. “We need to be more careful the next time we meet up. We don’t want him getting suspicious, especially not now that we’re getting so close. I want to take that sick fucker down.”
1 huff out a breath. “You and me both brother. But you’re right. We need to be careful from now on.”
“Anyways, we’ll catch up soon.” He says and I nod. “Most definitely,
Talk t
to you later.”
I ended the call and threw my phone on the desk, swinging gently in the chair. I can already feel the taste of Landon’s blood on the tip of my tongue and I can’t wait to wipe that smug smile off his face once and for all”
Now that I have Alfonso on my side, our joint strength would make the business grow even stronger. Landon will wish he never crossed paths with mr or tried to hurt Alessia
After a few moments, I stood from my desk and headed downstairs. I heard light chatter coming from Russo and Alessia sitting on the kitchen counter. They both had their eyes on their laptops. Alessia glances up first and when she sees me, she smiles, my heart jumping inside my chest. That woman is too damn beautiful for this world.
“What are you guys doing?” I asked as I walked over to the coffee machine.
I frowned as I realized that my head was beginning to form a headache.
“We found a little place for Alessia and Isabella, Russo said, not taking his eyes off the screen.
“It’s super secure and in an area not too far from here.”
“How far?” I asked.
Alessia’s eyes meri mine. “Twenty minutes.
I nodded and continued to make my coffee.
“We’ll get security set up and guards to keep the I
house secure. I
secure. I even thought about them getting a personal bodyguard,
My eyebrows
es narrow at the wall “Bodyguarda?”
“Yeah. For extra safety If we’re not there, then we need to be sure that someone would be able to step in for us in case anything happens. They already agreed to it, Alessia and Isabella”
1 pulled my freshly made coffee away from the machine and turned back to them, leaning into the counter behind me. My eyes fixated on Alessia’s dark brown eyes and I quirked a brow in her direction.
Did they know
She bites down on her lips and blinks, glancing back at her brother
I understand the importance of what Russo was saying but the thought of another man being around her every second of the day made my stomach chum How was he even comfortable with another man being around Isabella!

“Come have a look. Russo beckons me over.
I nugged myself from the counter and peered over his shoulder, glancing at the pictures as he flicked through the albums online
He’s right because it does look secure clean and modern. A perfect escape to give Alessia a chance to breathe.
“Looks good.” I commented as I took a sip of my coffee.
“Right!” Russo nods. “I’m just waiting for a call back from the owner but by the looks of it, we’re not the only ones who have our eyes set on it. If we offer him more than the asking price up front, he might be able to let things slide and give us the keys and paperwork up front.”
Alessia slumps on her fist. “You mean when you bribe him. Russo smiles at her. “Of course.”
His phone started vibrating on the table and I glanced over at it to spot a number I didn’t recognize. “This must be him.” He says, before excusing himself from the kitchen
When he was out of sight. I sat down on the stool Russo was just occupying. I set down my coffee and Alessia straightens out her spine. There’s a clear gloss across those plump lips.
“How are you feeling g about all this?” I ask
She simply shrugs. “I know it’s for the best. This house is beginning to look like it has bad omens and I can’t stand the thought of something else happening or someone else dying. Besides, I’m happy to live together with Isa.”
“Ill come visiting.” I say with a serious tone. “Russo obviously will too. We won’t be so far away?”
She stares up at me with those big brown eyes and I feel my stomach turn to solid concrete. The corners of her mouth begin to stretch and I can’t help but feel so much for this woman.
None of the women I’d ever been with compared to her, not even Camilla. Especially now that I’ve got to know so much about her. This smart, brave, sassy lady always has a way of keeping me on my toes
1 internally groan at my thoughts. I already know where this is heading because I can feel my insides begin to fizz at being around her, seeing that damn face that makes me forget everything else in the world exists.
Falling I’m fucking falling for her.
Fuck! I’ve already fallen. I’ve tripped and landed at her damn feet
