Chapter 24: Comfortable silence

October 31, 20XX (Sunday)

It was already 2AM, in the middle of the night, it was the first time that Alessandro and Luciella had such a comfortable atmosphere with each other. They spend the night, eating dinner together before sitting on the same sofa to watch a movie.

The both of them had retired to their respective room, with Alessandro at the far corner in the left. While Luciella was at the far corner at the right, in the dark and cold room. Luciella could not sleep, as she constantly stared out of the window. Feeling extremely lonely deep down, it was one of those days she felt especially down.

Maybe things that she had been bottling up came rushing down, or because of the event that happened in the day. She did not know, with a sitting on the bed. Legs curled up, while her head rested on her knees.

She looked at the time, thinking that Alessandro should be asleep by now. With that in mind, she got up. Slipping onto her slippers, she sneakily went out of her room wearing her night gown. As quiet as she could, she opened the door to Alessandro room.

Seeing that it was pitch dark, she sneakily stood on her tippy toes. Went into the door, silently closing the door behind her. Seeing the gorgeous yet dangerous man laying on the bed seemingly harmless, Luciella had second thoughts.

She walked towards the man, she was about to pull the blanket away when a deep blue eyes stared at her. "Sneaking into my room in the middle of the night?" Alessandro gave a sly look at her, Luciella sulked.

"I just wanted to sleep here tonight." She explained in a soft tone, embarrassed.

Alessandro folded his arms, "Women only gets on my bed when we have s*x." He warned her.

Luciella shrugged, moving closer to him. She pull the blanket away, laying down beside the man. "Well, that change now. You make me get slapped by my mom, the least you could do is to be my pillow for the night." She grieved, snuggling close to the man.

She took Alessandro right hand, before laying on top of his arm. Her arms and legs tightly clutched onto him like a octopus, "Child, you are playing with fire." Alessandro warned, though he still indifferently placed his arms over her slimed waist.

Making himself comfortable, closing his eyes. "Can't we just sleep." Luciella whined, before she soon went to her dreamland.

The night was extremely peaceful, it was the first time too for Alessandro to not feel repulsed by sleeping on the same bed with another sex without doing anything. He felt unexplainably weird in his heart, it felt as though his empty heart was starting to feel up.

The morning arrives with a blink of an eye, Luciella and Alessandro had been minding their own business for the whole morning to afternoon. It was in the evening, Luciella was dressed up in her combat suit, fully equipped.

Her ash green hair was tied into a messy bun, while she was wearing all black. She wore a bullet proof vest over her full body jumpsuit, adorning a baseball cap over her head. On her hip was a knife holster while her right thigh was a gun holster.

She had to fly back to Jiang City in a days time, hence. She had to take action that day, since Alessandro was away. This was the best time for her to make a move, the reason she came to London was also because of her mission.

Making sure she was fully equipped, she jumped down from her room window. She did not forget to wear a black combat gloves, with a swift flipped she landed lightly on the ground. Looking left and right, making sure nobody was following her.

She went into the car parked right behind the manor, "Boss, everything has been prepared. The auction starts in 30 mins time, which means you have exactly that timing to get the things you want. If anyt....."

"I got it, just make sure you handle the auction well." She reloaded her gun, ensuring there was enough bullet. She had received news that in the underground dungeon where the great auction was held, there was numerous criminals being caged there.

Even female prostitution was held captive there, thinking about that. Her eyes glint in evilness, seeing that she was about to reach somewhere near the auction building. She breathed in deeply, wearing a black masks this time round since her white mask was gone, the black masks has a red lining that pieced into a rose.

Giving the signal to her subordinate, she jumped out of the car.
