Chapter 10

Alex carried his feet gracefully with his head up high with pride and his hands swinging along as he walked. Behind him were six bodyguards all walking in the same pace with him.
Getting closer to the door, he stopped making all others at his back halt immediately and adjusted his tie properly. He had made sure to be in a suit with a brand of Giorgio Armani which had brought out his perfect style and look.
His long black shoe shone like that of a mirror sparkling that one could see himself on it. His golden wristwatch made sure to also fit his style properly and from afar one could tell it wasn't just an ordinary wristwatch to you around with. His black hair had been styled to reach just a little part of his left eyes at most with a middle line cut making it rest at both sides.
Once Alex got to the door, he waited a bit and took out his phone just for a second before dropping it back into his side pocket.
He nodded at the maids and instantly they both flung the door open carefully announcing his presence to his guests who were sitted. With their head facing the ground, they dare not raise it up to look at the faces of all the distinguished guest sitted.
Alex took another deep breath and walked towards his guests. He had really planned everything so well, and absolutely nothing was going to stop him from giving these distinguished guest sitted here a great impression of himself.
" Mr Emiliano, Mrs Romina, and Mr Dario Benvenuto _ meaning welcome in Italian language". Alex greeted raising his hands forward for a handshake.
His three guest all smiled back at him nodding their head.
" Cioa_ meaning hello in Italian language _Mr Civella" Mrs Romina greeted, her eyes sparkling as she did so.
She was one of the women Alex admired so much, brave, strong and lead the Romina's family to victory countless times. But unfortunately she had fallen deeply in love with a man who wasn't strong enough to defend and protect the Romina mafia family. With great disapproval from her parents,she had threatened to abandon and leave her family if they didn't grant her wish of letting her marry the man she loved. Alex could remember that during that time, she never stopped herself from loving her husband and at the same time protecting her family and because she was still the strongest amongst all her four brothers, she was made the boss even with a weak husband whom she still protects till now.
" Per favore, siediti _ meaning please do have a seat in Italian language" Alex said and walked forward a bit to have his own seat beside them.
He eyes went towards the door like he was expecting something and immediately another set of maids walked in with golden trays attached to their left hands and on the trays were glasses and different brands of wines.
Alex smiled and looked at his guests to check the expression on their faces and when he saw me Emiliano nod his head, he let out a satisfactory smile.
Two of the maid among the six that had walked in came forward to pour little quantity of the wine inside their glasses while the remaining four all stood behind with their heads facing the ground.
When one of the maid had gotten to Alex, her hands began shaking and it was so obvious to Alex that she was scared and would cause a mess any moment if she didn't control herself.
Alex eyes were growing red bit by bit watching her pour his drink with her trembling hands and when he couldn't take it anymore, he lifted his hands and gave her a death glare making her stop immediately.
She carefully turned around even though she knew today might be her last day one Earth for making such a gravious mistake and when all six maid were standing at the same spot, Alex glared at four among them telling them to leave while the remaining two awaited to attend to their needs probably anytime soon.
PS: I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO CONTINUED WRITING IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE, BUT SOME OF YOU READERS MIGHT SEE IT AS WEIRD SINCE I'M ALSO TRANSLATING IT. IF IN THE COMMENTS SECTION YOU ALL LOVE IT, THEN I GUESS IT MIGHT CONTINUE WHEN NECESSARY.
" May I know how you wish you achieve such a thing all alone, it's like starting from the scratch all over again" Mr Dario uttered and sipped from his glass of wine in his hands before dropping it back on the small table right in front of him.
"Just a little of your help is all I need, right now I know Tony is probably planning something stupid out there and endangering the Civella family but I no longer have any business with it anymore. That is why I need your help especially that of Mrs Romina in order to keep a close eye on him".
" I thought you severed all ties with the Civella's, at least that was what we were all told by Tony" Mrs Romina questioned paying rapt attention.
" I did, and I don't plan on going back either". The tone of his voice suddenly changed recalling his brother.
" And what do we get in return?". A cold voice suddenly uttered breaking the 10 minutes silence that had occurred in the room.
Alex sighed looking at Mr Emiliano, but he wasn't even suprised. Well he has expected such words from him having very good knowledge of the man sitted there.
' Aviditá _ meaning greed in Italian language." Alex silently whispered to himself with a smirk across the left side of his lips.
He forced out a smile and tapped his hands together. Immediately he did this, the door immediately widely opened and four guards walked in carrying a large sized heavy box along.
______________________
Alyssa could feel that something was off, the sudden urge to remember something clouded deep inside her and it got her asking herself why she had to remember at all cost.
Somehow she could feel that something special had happened to her last night, or rather she had heard something strange. Something that her head wanted her to badly recall but the more she wanted to listen to her subconscious mind telling her to think, the more her headache grew worst making her whimper in pain.
Due to this, Alyssa roughly halted her car and immediately she did this, only the memory of a kiss scene flashed back to her. That moment, Alyssa could swear that the face of the man was so familiar and not that of a stranger, like she had seen that face. But as she tried recalling further, her head began pounding deep inside again making her feel so much pain and again, she gave up on trying to recall further events that night.
