Chapter 84
Leonardo De Luca
I headed out of Alfonso’s club two hours later, feeling a little relaxed about our plan and how exactly we were going to pull it off I’m rather excited to see Landon squirm and look at Alfonso with utter betrayal.
Russo is out at our warehouse getting an order sorted for an international client and I know he won’t be home for a while. As I sat in my car. I glanced at my phone and scrolled to End Alessia’s name. My thumb hovers above the call button and I pressed it before I could convince myself
otherwise.
It rings and it rings until it goes to voice mail. I bite on my
my fist as I try again, only to get the same response,
I stared ahead of me through the windshield I put my car into gear and took myself to her house without a second thought…
I knew I shouldn’t have walked out the way I did. I didn’t even acknowledge Isabella’s presence on my way out. I was just too pissed but that doesn’t excuse my behavior.
It didn’t even give me any satisfaction because I knew that neither of us wanted that ending, I just hated myself for walking away when I knew that was the last thing I wanted to do
id Isabella because I wasn’t in the
I parked outside her house and checked the time. She should most likely be having dinner. I hoped as hell to avoid mood for her loud energy right now.
I barely glanced at the guards when I stepped out of my car but I noticed they immediately stood up straight when I passed as I raised my knuckles to knock on her door
For a few moments, there’s no sound. Nothing coming from inside.
I swear to God if they’ve gone out
again-
I knocked again, harder this time. That’s when I saw a wave of light from inside.
“Alessia,” I called out through the door. “Can you open the door!”
why she’s
| huffed out a sigh and pressed my hand to the wooden door, my head falling slightly. This might be a lot harder than I thought. I get w pissed at me but I just can’t handle the idea of her being angry at me anymore. I left her alone again.
“Alessia” 1 knocked harder this time. “I know you’re in there, open the door.”
Something vibrates on the other side of the door, the handle pressing down and when I think it’s about to open, she turns the lock
I grit my teeth, fists pounding on the door.
Tabella! Somebody open this door right now! I won’t say it again.”“
Im met with an awful silence. God. She’s going to make me work for this
My mouth opens again and I tell myself not to yell because it’s only going to make the situation worse.
“Amore, please.” My throat clenches at the sound of my begging. “I just want to talk. Please
I glanced down and pushed myself up from the door, taking a deep breath when I started to hear the sound of the door unlocking. After a few moments, she swings open the front door. She stood there with her brown hair swept up in a ponytail.
Her entire body is downed in an oversized gray hoodie and a pair of black cycling shorts, even her feet are bare with baby pink painted toenails.
Oh God. Help me.
“What do you want?”
Tilt my head and step closer “Will you let me
“Alenia”
“I uid, what do you want?”
“You’re angry at me

Chapter 84
She drops her hand from the door and crosses her arms over her chest. The sight of that beautiful face is enough to send me off into an e
into an early grave because even though she’s trying so hard to be angry, she looks so fucking cute that I want to bury her face in my chest.
When you’re done stating the obvious, you can go.”
“Not a chance, anymore.” I stepped closer and her eyes hardened but she didn’t cover away from my tall presence. “We need to talk.”
“About what?““The other day.”
Her eyes burn with a newfound fury. “You made it pretty clear. Leo. You don’t need to come over to explain anything. I got it loud and fucking clear.
was angry.
Alessia
“You did what you did. She straightens her spine.
My brows pinched together tightly at her words. “I was
“Because I was angry!” I raised my voice but she didn’t shift from her position, blocking the entrance to her house. I could easily barge her out of the way but that’s not going to earn me any points in her good book. She’s only going to be more furious with me.
Those dark brown eyes flicked between mine slowly. “Please, leave.” “Don’t tell me to
o go.”
“I don’t want to talk to you right now. I need all the focus I can get for my upcoming test and I don’t need this distraction.”
“Isabella?” I asked.
“She’s spending a few days with her mum” she replied curtly like she wasn’t in the mood to answer any of my questions.
My teeth grind down into one another. “I didn’t mean to walk out on you like that,” I say with a heavy chest. “Alessia, it was—”
Alessia’s eyes flutter shut. “I need to study” She says, her voice sounding deflated.
I stared at her for a moment longer and decided to leave her alone for now. We’re not going to get anything fixed if she’s in a mood like this.
“This conversation isn’t over, Alessia,” I say, deeply. “And you know it.”
She just stares back at me and I hate myself for being the reason she’s like this. I’m not good with words to be able to tell her right now. But when we’re a litle more relaxed, maybe then we can get this back on track and I can tell her the truth.
Even if the truth terrifies me
“I’ll see you later,” I say gruffly before turning my back so I can’t see her reaction.
Her front door didn’t shut immediately but as I reached my car, that’s when I heard it slam with strong determination. I paused for a moment before I opened my car door. If I want her to forgive me, then I have to give her the space she wants.
The old Leonardo would have gone charging in there, ready to set the place alight. But this woman has conditioned me to realize that some things aren’t worth ruining when you know you can take a step back and reassess.
Think before you art.
Right now, I’m doing just that
