I am pissed, no I’m beyond pissed I’m furious. Not only did this Malibu barbie call me a house s**t, call me a f*****g dog and pat my head like one. But she confirmed everything I already knew. Alexander just has me here to use me like some toy. But that’s not what hurts, he didn’t even attempt to defend me. He let her embarrass me in front of everyone. I stormed out of there as fast as I could. Because all I really wanted to do was slap the s**t out of both of them. But clearly that would only end badly for me. I go back up to my room, well his room and close the door locking it behind me. I lean against the door and slide to the ground. And for the second time since being here I let my tears fall.
After a while I get up and walk over to the balcony. It’s unlocked this time and I step out onto it. I lean over the rails, how did I get here? I had a good life, it wasn’t great but I was happy. Now look at me, a miserable s*x toy to the Devil. I sigh as I look out in front of me. Nothing but trees as far as the eye can see. It’s so peaceful out here, just a quite beautiful scenery. I decide I want to get closer to be apart of it just for a little while. To clear my head from these thoughts. I grab two black blankets from the cabinet to take with me, it is a little chilly outside. Heading down the stairs I go the direction away from the dining room and the kitchen. I don’t want to run into Malibu Barbie, her backup or the Devil. I've had enough of all of them. I keep walking and somehow I reach the basement door. Tears immediately fall as the memories of me being in there come to mind. Quickly I turn directions and reach a door that leads to the garage. Going in I notice all the nice cars that Alexander owns. He owns about eight from what I can tell, outside from the SUV’s he’s always in. I reach a side door, walk through and it leads me outside. To the side of the house. “Trying to escape again Ms?” One patrol guard asks and I jump as he gets closer to me. “Oh uhm..No I was-I was looking for the backyard and I didn’t want to go through the dining room.” I confessed. He just nods and points to the left, I thank him and walk away in that direction.
Once I get to the backyard I find my perfect spot to sit. The back yard is surrounded by a long gate. Soon as you step onto the back porch there’s a large pool. The pool has a fountain waterfall that runs into the pool, and is lit up with lights all around. Off to the side is a party area that holds tables and chairs where you can relax. On the other side of the pool has his grill set up. Beyond that there’s nothing but fresh cut green grass. On the grass I spread out one of the blankets and wrap myself in the other. Everything about this house is beautiful. To most it would be the perfect home, but to me this is my hell. It’s somewhere around ten o’clock and the wind is blowing a little, so it’s pretty cold out. None of that matter though because I finally feel like I can breathe. No one around me, nothing but trees and the sound of different animals.
I lay back and look up at the dark sky with a million stars scattered across. A full moon helps the stars light the night. Talking to the moon I wonder what my friends are doing. I don’t know what lie the Devil told them but I do hope they are living their lives. Especially Dorian. I worry about her the most. She’s all alone, she has no family and she’s doesn’t talk about her past but I know it’s nothing good. We were all we had, just the four of us. Well five if you include my dad. I close my eyes and do nothing but breathe. “Mind if I join you?” I quickly open my eyes and squeal a little. I look up to see Gio standing over me. Sitting up I place a hand over my heart “Jesus Gio you scared the s**t outta me. What are you doing out here?” I ask trying to calm down. “Can I sit?” He gestures to the spot next to me. “Sure” I said moving over some to make room on the blanket. He takes a seat next to me. We sit in an awkward silence for a while. It feels nice having him here tho, he has this big brother demeanor about him. I could tell him whatever was on my mind and I know he wouldn’t tell a single soul.
“You weren’t at dinner.” I finally say trying to make it sound like a question more than a statement. “Yeah” he laughs bringing his knees to his chest wrapping his arms around them. “I needed to clear my head and I didn’t feel like being around anyone.” “Want to talk about it? I’m a good listener.” I scoot closer so now we’re shoulder to shoulder. “I can’t Boss’s orders” he says looking away. “Well how about you tell me what you can talk about?” I press. He looks down at me, not with love or l**t but appreciation. Gio smiles at me and it puts me in a better mood. He’s actually very handsome any girl would be lucky to have him. “I need to do something and I have to ask people for help but Alex is stopping me from asking people who I know can help me. Even though I’ve ran out of other options and this is the only way.” He tells me putting his head down to his knees. “Why would he stop you? Especially if it’s something important to you.” This guy is unbelievable, I thought Gio was his best friend or something. He exhales sharply and turns to look at me. “Lets just say it’s a conflict of interest.” “Do you think it’s a conflict of interest?” I question. “No fuoco i don’t, but there’s nothing I can do about it.” He tells me. “Why not? If it’s something important to you then just do it. Forget about what he or anyone else thinks.” “It doesn’t work like that fuoco, He’s the boss and his word is law around here. And you don’t question his decisions, even if you don’t agree with them.” He tells me.
I move even closer to him, I feel bad for him. More for him than I did for myself. I lay my head on his shoulder and exhale. We fall into a comfortable silence and just stare out into the scenery in front of us. “Why am I here Gio? Why won’t he let me go home, especially since he has Emily?” I break the silence again. “What do you mean since he has Emily?” He looks down at me. I tell him everything that happened at the dinner table. He doesn’t interrupt me until I’m done. I tell him how I felt embarrassed and how upset I was that Alexander let her say what she said to me. And that he only stopped us because I twisted her arm after she pet my head. He throws his head back when I’m finished. “Listen Piccola fuoco only Alex can answer that question. That’s something you have to ask him. But don’t let Emily get to you. She’s nothing special, not to Alex anyway. Alex just thinks that she’s a situation that needs to be handled carefully that’s all. I’m not saying what he did was right, That’s just his way of handling the situation the best way he thinks he can. But I’m sorry you had to go through that, and I’m sorry I wasn’t there to defend you. But you don’t have to worry about her anymore, especially when I’m around. Cause I don’t like the b***h no way.” He tells me but I don’t respond.
He changes the subject and we talk for hours. About a lot of random things and I learn a lot about him. He’s so sweet and caring and even tho he’s mad as hell at Alexander he’s still loyal to him. I even learn a few thing about Alexander too. I guess at some point I end up falling asleep because I feel Gio shaking me to wake up. “Wake up fuoco, let get you inside before you freeze to death and Alex kills me.” He laughs, I yawn and nod my head. He stands up first then stretching his hand out to me and I take it. He pulls me up and I wrap my blanket covered arms around him giving him a hug. “Thank you.” He grabs me by my chin to look up at him, “Don’t thank me, this is what friends are for. Plus I like talking to you, you’re like the little sister I never had.” I smile and at that moment I’m not sad anymore. I let him go and we head back to the house.
Alexander
Alexis stormed out of the dining room pissed and frankly I don’t blame her. At this moment I feel the same f*****g way. Emily ruined the whole dinner and on top of the s**t I already have to deal with with Giovanni. Now I have this s**t to deal with. I been texting him ever since he’s walked out of my office earlier but I don’t get no reply. I know he’s pissed at me but I really can’t risk it. Hell after tonight I am pretty sure Alexis hates me even more. And I don’t blame her. I dragged Emily to my office to confront her about her behavior. “What the hell was that about Emily?” “The s**t needed to know her place and that she can’t have what’s mines. And you are mines Alexander.” She walks up to me grabbing my shaft through my jeans. “You can-you can’t talk to her like that or any of my guest like that. Do you understand, that was not okay Emily.” I struggle getting my words out as she starts unbuckling my jeans. “You’re right, I’m sorry it wont happen again.” She says getting on her knees giving my seductive eyes. “Let me make it up to you.” She pulls out my member and licks it. s**t, I cuss. She places my p***s in her mouth and starts sucking. Slowly at first then she picks up speed. She uses her other hand and starts playing with my balls. I move her hair out of the way.
I know this is wrong, especially when Alexis is upstairs in my bed sleeping. But I am too far gone and I’ve been wound up since earlier. s**t I need this release. I grab Emily by the hair and start thrusting in and out of her mouth. I pull her up and bend her over my desk, she moans and starts playing with herself. I open my desk drawer and pull out a c****m and put it on. I get behind her rubbing my shaft against her entrance. She moans out loudly just as I thrust into her hard. Her moans continue as I continue to pound into her. I feel her grip around me letting me know she’s close and my thrusts becomes more rapid. She reaches her c****x and after a few more pumps I find my own release. I pull out of her and throw the c****m in the trash. We both get dressed in a rush, and for the hundredth time today guilt washes over me. f**k, I curse to myself, maybe I can get her out of here without Alexis seeing. Emily walks up to me and kisses me. “Thanks I needed that I’ll be back for more after my trip from London.” I don’t respond to her we just walk out the office.
As we’re walking out Alexis and Giovanni are walking in from the kitchen. They both stare at me, Giovanni knowing what I’ve just done. Alexis look at me with broken eyes then she shifts her stare to Emily. Emily returns the look with a smirk on her face. Giovanni shakes his head and rolls his eyes. He pulls Alexis to the other side of him, blocking us from her view. She snuggles he face into his chest. Guilt hits me hard but jealousy hits me harder. She’s warmed up to Gio and Jake and I’m not even at arms length. Gio whispers something in her ear low enough for only her to hear. She doesn’t say anything, just nods her head and they walk up the stairs to my bedroom. I watch them until they are out of my sight. Emily and her minions leave the mansion and I storm back into my office. Pissed. I go inside locking the door and take off all my clothes. Everything except my briefs. I go over to my liquor cabinet and pull out my bottle of Jack Daniels and drink straight from the bottle. To hell with a shot glass. After about an hour of drinking I am pretty drunk. I contemplate about going upstairs but ultimately I decide to give Alexis some space tonight. So I say in my office and crash on the futon. The last thought I have is Alexis, the look on her face when she saw me with Emily. Nothing but pain and I’m the causing of it.
“Boss, Boss wake up.” I hear someone calling out to me as I am being shook. I force my eyes open having to blink a couple times to get my vision clear. I look to see Gio, Jake and Rafe standing over me. Scanning the room I look for a clock for the time. “It’s 6:15 am Boss.” Jake says noticing me looking. I Sit up straight trying to avoid the headache I have. I look over at Gio who’s already dressed and ready to go. “Gio your dressed already? Are you okay fratello?” I ask confused, maybe I’m still sleep and this is just a dream. Gio is never and I mean never ready at this time. “I’m fine, Boss.” He puts emphasis on the word boss. He never calls me boss at home. “I know how punctual you like to be sir.” He continues and I know he’s still pissed at me. I look to Jake who just shrugs his shoulders in response. “Here’s that package you asked for Boss.” Rafe chimes in handing me the box. I get up and head to my room “I’ll be ready in thirty minutes.”
Once I get to the door I remember Alexis is in there. And I remember everything from last night. I hesitate to open it as the memories flood in and the guilty feeling comes back. I open the door going in only to find her sleep still. She’s curled up on her side of the bed all the way on the edge. She’s holding onto the pillow for dear life. I run my hand through my hair. I screwed up big time, I need to fix this. I set the box on the nightstand. I go take a shower and do my morning routine. I get dressed in the closet, trying my best not to wake her up. When finished I walk over to the bed and place her new phone on a pillow on my side of the bed. I pull out a piece of paper and write her a now. I write her name on the outside of it and fold it in half. I prop it up on the pillow next to the box. I take one final look at her “I’m going to do right by you, from here on out you will be my priority. No one will ever hurt you again, I don’t care who they are. I whisper out loud. “You’re safe with me.” I leave out the room closing the door. We all eat breakfast in silence, no one says a word. We all get up from the table and walk out. I stop and call out for Claire “make sure she eats breakfast, and tell her that I ate already and I’ll be back home later tonight.” I say walking away not waiting for a response. I am the last person to get in the car before Jacob speeds off.
