Elijah was fuming when he received the call from those two idiots he'd sent around the restaurant where she worked, how dare anyone go against him. Did this guy really not know who he is?
Obviously not, he could crush him and take it all away, little did he know he had started a war by going on unknown territory. Did he have any idea who Luca Romero or his family were? They didn't take lightly to threats and he had made a threat on not only his woman, but on his family business and to them it was a threat one to be handled the only way they knew best.
And that's exactly what they were going to do. They were going to take Elijah Rivera down and give him a warning to stay the hell away from Alaina and the business of they would make sure his would be ruined.
Alaina's mobile rang. She answered thinking it was important. "Hello."
"Well hello Alaina. When did you come such a b***h, you just had to get your f**k buddy involved in our private buisness."
"Elijah how the hell did you get my number?"
"That's none of your concern answer the f*****g question you f*****g w***e!"
"I'll have you know Mr. Rivera I am no slut. And for your information I got no one involved. You were trying to become the almighty god in all of this. Well let me tell you something for nothing Mr, Elijah f*****g Rivera you don't know whk the f**k you are dealing with. So I guess I'll see you in hell!"
"You're a f*****g w***e Alaina!'
Takes onto know one, goodbye Elijah. And don't calm me again." She said slamming the mobile down after cutting the calm that man was so infuriating.
Little did Alaina and Elijah know that her phone was bugged and Luca had heard every word and Elijah a rude awakening, a surprise visit from the Romero's.
~
Elijah's businesses were slowly deterring after the unwelcome visit from the Romero's he'd woken a mont later from his ckna and he was looking business like he'd been warned he should've listened but he had chosen not to know he was learning the hard way. He was beaten, bruised and left unconscious. He had fought long and hard with the three men that had approached him but had finally listened to the battle when the last and final blow had came the back of his head.
Jasper had driven up to the campus last night Alaina had no idea he was there he'd asked luca to keep it a secret so he could surprise her, he nodded he'd sure do that. They'd both kept a big secret for three years now Elijah Rivera had been taken care of they could finally tell Alaina the truth, but how would she take it?
Luca and Alaina walked hand in hand through the campus grounds; they'd both had their final exams for this semester and were both looking forward to spending time alone. "I'd like you to meet someone angel."
"Okay." She said nervously.
"No need to be nervous, angel, he's family. I'm sure he'll like you."
She looked at him questionably, she thought she'd met all of his family.
Jasper had his back to them as they approached him.
"Alaina, I'd like you to meet my cousin; Jasper Romano."
Jasper turned around, her mouth fell agape and her face paled.
"Surprise!" He grinned widely.
"Jasper. "
He continued grinning.
'I don't understand how? I thought you worked for Elijah how can you two possibly be..."
"Let's sit down and I'll explain."
She nodded and they all walked over to a bench sitting down. He took her hands in his. He looked into her eyes. "Elijah doesn't know my family background Alaina. It was all wiped before he hired me, for a fake past."
"But why? I don't understand."
"I couldn't risk him knowing I was a Romano. He's been after the family businesses for a long time, so my identity was changed so I could find out about what he was planning."
"And did you?"
"We did more than that Alaina, we also found out that he had had a hit out on you. He didn't trust you to stick to the contract so he put a hit out in you."
"Oh my god."
"I promised you I'd protect you and I did. I contacted Luca once you left for uni. I knew he was out here, so I called him and he agreed to take care of you."
She looked at Luca. "You were using me?"
"No angel. I was only protecting you. You have to believe me. All my intentions were good. You needed to be protected by us from the Rivera family."
"I trusted you."
"And you still can, angel. I'd lay my life down for you. I have loved you since the moment I saw you."
She looked into his eyes, they held love in them and many other emotions. She smiled at him. "I love you too."
He pulled her close pecking her lips. "Get a room guys!" Jasper laughed.
Luca smirked.
Jasper looked defeated ag Alaina. "I'm sorry I kept all of this from you Alaina, but we wanted to keep you safe. Especially when we found out who he contacted when he put the hit out on you."
"Who?"
"You're not going to like this."
"Just tell md Jasper."
"Your Dean."
"Excuse me ? You what? Did I hear you right, did you just say Mason was supposed to kill me?"
"He was, on your first day. Elijah had it all planned out. He had expected you to file for divorce, but not until you left uni, but you took him by surprise. He was so angry he called Mason terminating your course funding telling Mason to do what he had to do to get rid of you without a trace though there was noone to notice you missing.
Luca and I kept in contact, we bugged his office so we knew exactly the conversation he had with Elijah. Luca sent some of his men in to put the shits up on him. They did exactly that.
When you went into his office the plan was to get rid of you, but Mason realised that everything Elijah had fed him was total and utter bullshit.
Problem was Mason had fell for you before he agreed to take you out. We all knew the truth but you. And we're sorry Alaina. We know this is a lot to take in but we had to be careful so Elijah never suspected anything. And he didn't."
She stared at them, with a blank face.
"Say something Alaina."
"I'm sorry. I need time to think."
They both nodded. Jaspers hands fell from hers when she stood up walking away not looking back. "I can't believe they both lied to me the two people I trusted lied to me." She said wiping a stray tear. She had no idea how long it would take to forgive them.
I felt defeated and defeated after finding out and knowing the truth. I couldn't really hate either Jasper or Luca cause I knew they were only looking out for me, I was just disappointed in them for not telling me sooner.
I wasn't even sure how I was going to face Mason when our final year at uni began. He'd helped me do much to get into the course I wanted to study as well as a business major.
I couldn't believe that he was willing to sacrifice my life on a whim through Elijah's bullshit.
Summer had officially come to an end me and Luca were still going string Elijah hadn't even attempted to send anyone to send another warning, Jasper had gone home two weeks ago so me and Luca could have some "alone time".
I would miss him. He's like a big brother that I never had. We had all made up and promised that neither of them would hide anything from me ever again.
The time has finally came to go back to uni. I had been dreading this day for the past two months. I wasn't ready to face Mason yet after everything, but I would have to eventually.
