Alessandro's POV

Gianni walked into my study room with the tech guy behind him. I stood up when I said them.

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes." Gianni nodded, gesturing towards the other guy. "There were a few cameras hidden at the nooks of the house."

Russo, you have done a lot. How the hell did they even get planted in my house without my knowledge? Have I been too absentminded?

"You don't have to worry, Capo." Victor assured me." I have made sure to damage them all but I found this memory cards in them. They seem to be connected to a certain Bluetooth."

I took it from him and studied it for a while.

"Do you want me to find out who is at the receiving end?" Victor asked and I shook my head.

"No, you don't have to bother about that. I know who is behind all of this."

"Oh fine."

"Gianni, father all the guards." I said, as I walked out of the room.

"What's the matter, Boss?" He asked as he scurried after me. I halted and raised my finger. "Don't ask questions, Gianni." I snapped at him. "Just do as I have said. I need to find out something and put an end to their stupidity. I think I've been too lenient with everyone that I know seem like a fool."

Gianni paused, studying the expression on my face. "Okay. I'll gather them now." He said, not pushing further.

Five minutes later, they were all lined up in front of the mansion, hands folded behind their backs.

I walked around them in circles, watching each one of them with contempt in my eyes.

"There are moles amongst you." I said through gritted teeth. "Would you like to surrender now or I fish you out?"

They all exchanged glances and the rigid look on their faces faltered.

"You have a minute to decide." I yelled out, stopping in my tracks. "Thirty seconds left!"

Still they were silent. Just as good as I wanted. This would only multiply their punishment.

They have caused a lot of trouble lately. I knew they were the one who allowed that woman who took Amelia away that day.

They were also part of the ones who planted those cameras in the house.

"I guess I've made the wrong choice by choosing to keep an enemy employed." I growled, "AJ! Hudson! Stone! Fall out, now?" I shrieked, my eyes searching the queue for them.

When our eyes met, a look of fear washed over them and after some seconds of delay, they scurried their way out.

"Boss, we've always been faithful to you. W..what makes you think we're behind all of these chaos?" Hudson questioned and that only made me give him a heavy punch on the face.

He groaned, falling to the ground and I stepped on him with my foot. " How dare you deny, you motherfucker! You think I'm stupid? You all should know that there are some cameras which you can't see. There are hidden eyes watching your every move!"

With that, I grabbed AJ's neck and flipped him to the ground too, making him land on Hudson's body.

"You are just green snakes under green grass." Stone followed and when I raised my fist to punch him, he tried to fight back but I dodged his fist.

I knew he would do it. He was the most pompous among the three and he felt he could just get away with anything.

"Do you think I didn't get as much as multiple of the fucking trainings you got?" I scoffed, pushing him to the ground with my leg. "You must be so confident to fight back. Have you forgotten I'm your boss and I only rule here? Russo must have boosted your morale, isn't it? You know think you're indestructible because you work for him?"

Amelia's POV

Alessandro locked me up in his room and I couldn't get out. Now, I was feeling thirsty but there was no water in the room.

Fuck him!

I went to the bathroom and sucked on the running tap like a tired hyena.

I sighed in relief after I drank and quenched my thirst before waking back to the room.

I sat on the bed, thinking of possible ways to improve my miserable life. Everyone I had met so far just wanted to do nothing but hurt me.

I would never find the truth, I knew they was for sure. And even the man who claimed he loves me was nothing but a devil!

I have been so stupid to trust him.

I heard some noise from outside and when I shoved the curtains aside, there seemed to be commotion on display.

What was going on? Why does Alessandro look so angry?

"You made her open to attack! Do you know what Russo did to her?" I heard him yell. I furrowed my brows in confusion.

Was he torturing his men because of me? I gasped when he punched on of them and blood flew out from his mouth.

Was he going to kill them?

Why is he doing this? Why is he defending me? My thoughts whirled.

I scoffed, shutting the windows and pulling the curtains back in place.

"He's just so unpredictable." I balled my fists in anger, hitting them on the bed. "He acts so beastly in front of me but pretends to care for me in public!"

A man who loves you would never do that, would he? I don't get why he kept switching his personality!

Was he trying to leave an impression on the others?

Everywhere was silent except for the ticking of the clock. I had fallen asleep already when someone pushed the door, causing a loud bang.

I stood up immediately, rubbing the sleep off my eyes. I shook in fear when I saw Alessandro.

He's back! I'm done for!

Wait, why was he covered in blood?

I rushed to meet him, trying to touch his wound. "What happened to you!" I screamed, my eyes flashing with fear.

The wound was deep and he was losing so much blood.

"Go away!" He pushed me off. "I can take care of myself. Don't pretend like you care!"

His face was covered with bruises which made my heart ache. Why was he always so stubborn? Did he know how much this breaks my heart?

"Shut you!" I screamed in his face and he stood still like my words calmed down the restless being in him. "just shut the fuck up and listen to me. I should just strip myself naked cause you only listen to me when I am." I said, tearing off the shirt I wore.

His eyes roamed my body and he looked into my eyes. His gaze softened. I knew it was going to work.

I moved closer to him, holding his arm as I led him to sit on the bed. I reached for the first aid box and sat in front of him.

"If the wound stings, you can just grab my boobs or finger me like you do." I said, moving the wet cotton wool to clean the blood stains on his chest.
