Tickets to Italy

# Alexis

She woke up this morning still feeling drowsy, even though she slept early. She still wanted to sleep more, since she already made up her mind not to go to work today. She just dragged the covers to cover her body and cuddled more into the bed.

She checked her phone and saw Bella's message saying that they are leaving in the afternoon. It is as if she knows she won't go to work today. She just closed the message and continued sleeping.

## Alessandro

I woke up this morning feeling good until I remembered my father asked me to see him this weekend. Even though father asked me to come during the weekend, I could use some time for myself too and also have funso i decided to call Cole and he answered on the first ring.

"Hello, Cole, what's up?"

At the other end: "Am good, any problem."

"Not at all! Can I then know the reason you are calling me by this time?"

"Because I don't understand again oo, this early. Were you born to disturb me or what? Can someone not have a moment of peace again?"

"So, Cole, I can't call you as I want and talk to you? I can't believe I called you my friend."

"Thank God you know that. Can I end the call so I can resume my sleep? I am glad that at least I am able to cut one ties with you. I am no longer your friend."

"Foolish boy, I have something to say to you."

"It must be something foolish for you to be pausing like this."

"Well, since father has asked me to come and see him, why don't both of us go together more earlier than that and have some fun? Because damn it, it's been a long time since we actually took care of ourselves and had fun."

(A pause)

"It's a good idea, though. I love it, and there is no better place to enjoy yourself than Italy itself. So, just the two of us, or you will call Mikky to join us also? Because with only you, I am going to be bored to death."

"You sure know how to get on my nerve, Cole. But I won't allow your words to get to me. So go and pack; we leave in the evening. I would buy the ticket today, and please help me to call Mikky because if he sees my name, he may not want to pick."

"No problem then, bye."

He called the agent that could get a ticket fast and told him to get a ticket for three people, and he was going to be using it this night as he will travel by plane this night and he forwarded the money to the agent.

Alessandro sighed in relief that at least Cole agreed to it. Then his father's place won't be as he has deemed it to be before; at least he would have familiar faces with him. Cole and Mikky were the only persons who knew who he was before he took the Mafia mantle. They all went to the same school, and he and Cole knew each other since childhood and are closer.

He rose from bed as he has work to do. He won't go back to bed like Cole, so he put on his slippers and went downstairs and looked around for something to eat and remembered the pizza. So he went to the fridge and took out the pizza and put it into the microwave. When the timer went off, he took it out and sat at the kitchen table and started eating. Everyone knows that an Italian loves pizza like they are crazy about it. Pizza happened to be one of his best foods, and he stuffed it into his mouth, eating like he has never had pizza before. He must be very hungry for him to eat like this. He gulped down the water he took from the freezer and smiled. At least he had satisfied his stomach for the meantime. So he decided to go to the gym, and he went down to his gym to do his morning exercise, even though he had clearly eaten. He didn't mind.

He started with push-ups and went to weight next before he went to start hitting the boxing weight also. When he finished from the gym, he went back up and freshened up, dressed up, and came back down. He took his keys and drove himself to his company. He got there and was greeted by the staff.

He went to his office and called his secretary for any work or file demanding immediate attention, as he won't be around for days. He decided to come to work to round up whatever work needs immediate attention.

He did those ones he was expected to do and signed on those that needed his signature. He owns numerous companies, or should we say he owns many shares in companies, so he could as well be the co-owner of the company. But for his own work, he runs a hotel. Alessandro does not just run any hotel but a five-star hotel, and he is one of the best because his company provides the best service as everything is to your taste.

Many politicians come to his hotel to lodge, and he doesn't just have one branch but numerous branches. So even the few days he was going to take off will have him meeting work piling on his table by Monday morning. He has considered employing a manager that knows what he or she is doing.

He had to run the Mafia businesses also because power is also something that why even the politicians do not dare talk to him anyhow. Mere releasing their sex video where they are banging a girl who isn't their wife was enough to spoil whatever career they may think they have.

Those kinds of things spread among people like wildfire.
