Alessandro's POV

~Sandro, can we talk?~

A message popped up on my phone and I knew exactly who it was. Regina had been texting me with strange numbers lately which I do block but she doesn't back off.

: What do you have to say? You want to explain why your fucking ass has no control?: I texted back and what I got as a reply was a smirk sticker.

I switched off my phone to stop receiving her calls or texts but I was surprised when I saw a car double-cross me and Regina stepped out, walking closer to my car with a smirk plastered to her face.

What did she fucking want from me,? I balled my fists, watching as she moved closer to my car.

"Hello Handsome." Just like the unmanned brat she was, she got into my car without my permission and pecked me on the cheek.

I scoffed, my face void of emotions. Did she think I'd fall for her charms again?

Hell, I had someone even more better.

That reminded me of my amoretto, she hasn't spoken to me for days now. Was it because I made her cry that day when we fucked?

It wasn't my fault. I couldn't help it. I was angry, moody and all and I took it all out on her.

I knew that it hurt her but the next day when I asked her about it, she never gave a reply. She just grabbed my polo shirt, put it on to cover her naked body and walked out.

I was curious. I wanted to know what really had happened but she had kept on avoiding me.

I went for a board meeting this afternoon but I didn't take her along because I felt she wasn't too well and needed some rest.

Now, I wanted to arrive at the mansion in time so we could have a nice evening together; I had thought of getting her a rose flower but I felt that would be unnecessary.

She had just confessed that I was her type of man but I didn't want to keep giving her the assurance that we'd end up together.

I had limited time to live on this earth and I didn't want to raise her hopes.

"Don't you think this is rude, Miss Alberto?" I glared at Regina who was holding my arm but she wouldn't move away.

Oh she still thought I had a soft spot for her?

That was then. Then when I was blinded with a hunger for more wealth and on the pursuit to always obey my dad.

Now, I know I can get more elevated without her family's help. Come to think of it, she even came to me in sn attempt to steal.

I had thought her father's wealth was enough for her but I guess no, she'd keep on being a slave to Russo.

"How dare you address me so formally, Alessandro?" She pouted, her eyes flashing with a cute smile.

I used to fall for that smile but it's in the past now. Every fucking relationship between us was now broken and now, she annoyed me a lot.

It took long to realise she was nothing but a vixen. How could I be so careless!

"What do you want, Regina?" My voice was cold yet she didn't move.

I chuckled, my gaze flickering towards her. "You know I think you have so much boldness to show up in my face after last time? Why do you keep proving you're nothing but a cheap whore?

You are a mafia princess, Gina yet you allow Russo order you around like his puppet. Worse, now you steal for him. What do you leave to get? What's the stake?" I asked, my tone harsh as my words dripped with mockery.

The smile on her face faltered and she moved away from me, clearing her throat.

"Is that what it looks like to you? That I'm Russo's toy?" She gritted her teeth, turning to face me now.

I shook my head gravely and pointed at the door. "Get out now before I change my mind and kill you." I threatened but yet she doesn't move an inch and kept eye contact with me instead.

"Has that little slut taken over your soul that you can't even see how better I am compared to her sick self?" Her words dripped with venom, her teeth gnashing.

"Yes, really. I have seen in Amelia what you couldn't offer me during the fourteen years of our relationship. It's baseless, Regina."

She bit her lips, almost drawing out blood. I could see her veins popping, she might blow up soon but not here, not in my car.

"You have been giving me reasons to blow up your head, Regina." I sighed, my fingers curling around my cufflinks. "I'll appreciate if you don't make us cross parts again especially not invading my privacy like a mad idiot." I warned, my voice rough.

"Alessandro." She moved closer, her hands cupping my face. "I'm…. I'm sorry for everything I did to you. I...I was just finding a way to make things right, my father has been impatient. He wants me to prove to him how worthy I am to handle the gang in his absence."

I cocked a brow at her, a scoff escaping my lips. "What's this about? Is this you and Russo's new plan? To seduce me and curry things up to make me take you back? Are you for real?"

"What are you saying? I'm still madly in love with you, baby. I can't help it, I dream about you every fucking night. I dream about us— you and I, my ass on your dick, your lips on mine. I..." She pushed her body closer, leaning her breasts on my chest. Her face was buried in my neck, sniffing my scent.

Her hands roamed my body, making shivers ripple down my back. Hell, I thought I erased all the love I had for her. Why did her touch still have an effect on me?

"Get. Out!" I ordered though gritted teeth, my fists balled.
