Chapter 2

• Dante
• I am exploding with rage, that damn Stefano Cavour will pay for everything, I swear!
• I gulp down my cognac in one go, I am so angry that I don't feel the burning of the liquor in my throat. The woman in my lap, a stunning redhead, does nothing to ease my anger.
• Although I don't blame her, maybe in a few hours when I have her naked and screaming for mercy in my bed, and can release all my anger with this good piece of flesh, I might feel better. My second in command, Leonardo Bagarella, looks at me with a face that knows what he is about to say will push me to the limit and make me lose control.
• He shifts uncomfortably in his seat in front of me, while I move my hand between the legs of the redhead and she writhes desperately on me. Leonardo clears his throat before speaking"Stefano not only stole the shipment of girls from you, but he has also been sabotaging some other businesses. We found out that he was behind it all! As soon as he knew we had discovered it, he sent a marriage proposal. He is offering his 19"year"old daughter, Allecra Cavour, as a peace offering for you to take. He claims he didn't know it was you he was messing with. Let me tell you that's a lie, I just thought I should point that out. On the other hand, the older members agree with the offer and say you should take it, so we can take over their territory and get rid of them more easily. They won't see it coming. Now, do you want to keep the girl or not? It's your decision, boss"he gives me a very confident and assured analysis of the situation. He is not only my second in command, but also my best friend, so I trust what he just told me, which relaxes me a bit and also makes me think more calmly, while I pat the legs of the redhead, making her laugh.
• "You're right. I'm not only going to accept the marriage proposal, I'm going to break it and also kill all the ridiculous ideas that girl has of seducing me and putting me at her feet, because that's what her father must have instructed her to do. She will regret offering herself to me!"I say with less anger, but excited at the idea of hurting my enemy's daughter.
• "That's what I was telling you. You must keep a cool head, Dante, and not show that you want to take over his territory. But whatever you want to do with this girl, do it a few months after they get married, so we can make the move well-prepared."Leo advises me.
• Alright, I'm going to continue enjoying the night until I'm ready to leave. The luxury bar-disco is a neutral place where we can come from any territory and have a good time, it's like a breath of fresh air. Marco's has always worked like that, although I prefer my nightclubs. Seeing new and fresh faces from time to time helps in some way. I watch people dance, use the private rooms for more than just kisses, snort lines of coke on their tables, others flirt at the bar. After all, we are just ordinary people behind our last names and status.
• I feel hands on my cheeks followed by a very enthusiastic mouth seeking mine, I gesture to Leo to distract himself so he doesn't have to see this, I'm not shy, not at all, just that in this bar you don't do what you do in my Clubs where there is more freedom and you can give free rein to all possible fantasies.
• I let her kiss me a little more and raise my hand grabbing her neck with a little force, separating myself from her a bit, I touch her lower lip with my thumb and see her dilated pupils from lust and desire, I bet if I told her to f*ck me here in front of everyone she would.
• I bite her lower lip hard and whisper very close to her mouth. "That's the last time you do that! You know I'm in charge and control everything, darling." she moans loudly and then tries to look repentant, like when spoiled girls are scolded, but I know very well that it's an act, so I let her go.
• I keep watching people, until I see a couple of girls enter, a pretty blonde with nice legs and breasts, in a golden dress, her perky butt is tempting, however I don't know why it doesn't impress me at all, blondes don't attract me.
• I look to her left and that precious little thing does catch my attention, she's a beauty with long wavy chocolate-colored hair, big hips, her butt is very firm globes begging to be bitten, I don't know how that dress manages to cover that, beautiful breasts and that cleavage inviting me to explore her chest, when she turns her face front, I'm speechless, she's beautiful, how I would die to leave that white skin all red with my bites and the mark of my hands on her, make her scream with pleasure over and over again, but her face seems familiar to me, it's just that I can't place where I've seen her before.
• Let's see how and with whom this beauty has fun!
• Throughout the night I see her talking and dancing with some low-status scumbags from the streets of London, and others of good status like Stefano's damn lapdog, that trash Rafaelo Mazzini, I've heard complaints from the girls who made the mistake of falling into his clutches, the ones who managed to live, those who weren't so lucky I've seen their bodies. Lying in alleys near our territory, that trash enjoys sadism and beating, not giving pleasure, he's a complete sicko, what surprises me is, what is such a precious thing doing with him?
• By the way she looks at him, she seems to feel something for him, it would be a shame to see that beauty end up in a dumpster, I watch as she bites her lip, looks at him very flirtatiously, that trash takes her to dance and then deliberately touches her butt.
• He pretends to be distracted, but she seems to like what he just did, that fills me with irrational anger.
• I don't know why, since that's not my business, just that I can't take my eyes off her, her cheeks blush every time she exchanges glances or words with him, she must be very in love.
• Poor fool doesn't know what a piece of trash that guy is.
• He leans towards her ear and seems to whisper something that relaxes her, takes the opportunity to bite her ear, I can't stand to watch this anymore, I get up full of rage and pull Marina's hand, the redhead beauty who accompanies me today, I don't have to worry about these silly things so I better go do something I enjoy.
• Which is f*cking, biting, and tying, if the silly girl is willing to be with a guy like that, I can only feel sorry for her and leave the others to deal with their problems, I lock eyes with Emilio, my trusted man, and gesture to him that we're leaving this place.
• Allecra
• We entered Marco's and seriously, this place fascinates me a lot. Here there is no status, no last name, you are just one more in the crowd. There can't be fights or murders, all of that stays outside the door, because if they catch you doing something like that, you and everyone with you are dead.
• I only came because I want to distract myself, don't get me wrong, I am not liberal at all, neither in thought nor in a sexual way. Despite having a crappy family, I long to marry for love and to be truly loved by my husband. But well, a girl can dream, or at least try to make her dreams come true, right?
• We dance, we drink, we sing, several hours have passed. I've danced with some cute guys, but nothing more, always feeling watched. I discreetly look around, but I can't see anything out of the ordinary, or anyone staring at me.
• I continue to enjoy with my best friend, I truly love her, I don't know what I would do without her, until I turn around and see Rafaelo Mazzini, the man of my dreams. I've loved him since I was 13, maybe that's why I haven't noticed anyone else.
• He's dressed casually, the shirt clinging to his firm muscles, his designer pants hugging his well-defined legs. To me, he's an angel descended from heaven, and his beautiful lips, I would die of happiness if I could marry him.
• That reminds me of what my father told me earlier, with even more reason I have to find a way out. I will only marry if my plan to elope with Rafaelo fails. I still have that feeling of being watched, but I leave it behind and wait for Rafaelo to approach me so I can dance with him.
• I can see my friend's face transform into disgust, I don't know why she hates him if he's a gentleman. He finally sees me and comes towards me, greeting me with a kiss on the cheek. "My beauty, blessed are the eyes that see you!" He turns to me, "I want to see how lucky I am to be with you." he says, gesturing for me to turn to him.
• I bite my lip coquettishly and blush, doing as he asks. He approaches and takes my hand to lead me to the dance floor. The background music is now a bit slow, I move my hips slowly, hoping to be sensual. I don't know how to do it, I don't know if I'm doing it right. Suddenly, I feel his hand on the lower part of my back, then he lets it drop lower. I startle a bit at first, but seeing him calm and relaxed while dancing, I assume it was unintentional, so I let it be. He hugs me tighter and presses me against his body, leaning in to whisper in my ear. "You are the most beautiful and perfect thing I have ever seen. How I wish I could put my hands on you. Forgive me if I am too forward, my dear Allecra." After saying that, he sensually bites my ear, I feel butterflies in my stomach and a pull in my lower abdomen. I like the sensations he awakens in me.
• I was about to say something when I feel someone pass by me in a fury, causing me to stumble into Rafaelo's arms. I see him look back angrily, but I don't know who he's looking at, because then he just relaxes and puts on his good boy mask.
• Wow, that was weird! I had never seen him like that before. I turned around and saw a redhead with a stunning girl following a tall, dark, well-built man, even more so than Rafaelo. He must be some acquaintance of his, perhaps. I returned my gaze to my dance partner only to find him staring at my cleavage.
• Well, tonight turned out perfect for me, because I am doing more than just exchanging glances and winks with him as we always do at home, so I will continue to be attentive to what else I can discover about him before making my move for him to propose to me.
• We kept dancing until 3 in the morning, we called a taxi since I had drunk too much and in this state I cannot drive. Rafaelo accompanies us until we get in and says goodbye in such a sweet way, kissing my hand like a true gentleman.
• Before Bella gives the address to the driver and the taxi starts, I watch as he returns to the bar. A beautiful woman was standing near the entrance door and when she sees him entering the bar, she grabs his arm and he grabs her butt just like he did with me when we were dancing. They engage in a very passionate kiss, perhaps Bella's hatred is genuine and I should not put my hopes in him.
• After all, I don't blame him. Being the son of the second in command of his father, I don't think he wants to rebel against him. With my heart breaking and all my hopes shattering, I lean against the window as the taxi drives off.
• I must not give up my freedom, I must keep looking for a way out. If only father didn't want to sell Isabella too, I would leave and never look back. But who am I kidding, I could never leave my sister in his or my mother's hands.
