Recap

I woke up in his arms. I started withering in pain and changing my facial expression to pa contorted one. I was met with my husband's concerned face. I blamed it on my period. I know it wasn't the right thing but I mean it worked .I actually managed to convince him to take me out and the children to a stop at the pharmacy for the essentials.

When we actually got to the pharmacy, I once again started withering in pain. His face contorted to an expression causing my heart to twist and physically break in half.

As he got out if the car I uttered a quick good bye. As I saw his brooding figure enter the pharmacy, I got into the drivers side and I drove to the airport and ignored the sympathetic smiles of those who thought I was less fortunate.

I knew once I boarded that plane their would be no turning back. It broke my heart that I was leaving my home country because I was to cowardly to face the reality of Alessandro. I rode in first class so I could start my online college course. With my babies in car seats next to me. I made eye contact with Alessandra it broke my heart how much she reminded me so much of her father.

While the four slept I was down to business. I would live of the money that my mom left me if I ever needed to escape until I build by business empire.

End of Recap

Alessandro's POV

I threw the chair against the wall. I watched as the chair did exactly what my heart did when she left. It broke, a million pieces sent splattering everywhere. I balled my hand into fist as I remembered her smile, the good memories and the bad. I plunged my fist into the wall sending punches after punches into the same spot . I ignored the feeing of my blood slowly oozing out of my hand.

Only when the pain became to much I allowed my hands to stop. I sat down, my back against the freshly blooded wall and cried.
I had no one. Only the mafia who full of dangerous people desperate/thirsty for the intoxicating prospect of having absolute power.

My tears of grief soon three into hysterical laughter. I was Alessandro Audini for the love of god. I could find her with a snap of my fingers . I wouldn't go after just yet , I'll build my empire. I will make people fear me. With that the walls that fell when I was with Francesca built right up again mightier than the great wall of China.

I had to clean myself up. I laughed at my performance of weakness, I would keep the blood on the wall as a reminder of what happens when I let my heart rule my mind again.

After cleaning my wounds and dressing in a suit . I called a family meeting. I smiled " Francesca left me with my children and I need our best trackers on her case". I was surprised on how strong my voice came out. I surveyed the room analyzing each person who thought Francesca was a weakness for me.

Then I found him , the smirk on his face made me want to slit his throat and hang him outside down. When he caught me staring at him the smirk was immediately washed of his face.

"Family, brothers and cousins. Francesca has wounded me but if you ever think that you can use her to climb to the top for my power ,you are wrong. I will kill you and then make a blood bath out of you". To prove my point I took out my gun and pointed it at the guy. I found extreme satisfaction as I saw the light leave his eyes and his body slump forward. I'm pretty sure my smile was slightly sadistic.

Third person POV.

Francesca tied her hair into a bun as she started her morning routine. She tended to her children, her heart broke as she stared into Alessandra's eyes. In her daughters eyes she saw the ups and downs in her relationship with Alessandro it warmed her heart ;but then she remembered the cellar the cold air the harsh beatings. She smiled as she continued to bathe her children. She thought to herself , they would finally have a normal life. She vowed to herself that her children would have the life that she never had.

She heard the door open and slam. Her friends had no trouble making their presence known.

" Francesca where are you" she smiled to myself as she heard her best friends voice.

" I'm in here I called out to him"

They both majored in business and accounting , Opening up their own chain of hotels. With the money her mom had hidden away Francesca had achieved a lot but there wasa still an empty whole in my heart.

She beamed at Alex , Although he was gay he was forever trying to set me up with one of his friends.

" what's up my b*tch ". She scowled at his greeting and covered Alessandra's ears.

" Language " was her only reply.

"Don't talk to me with an attitude I could fire you"

Francesca rolled her eyes, "did you forget that I'm the founder/CEO young Palawan"

He scrunched up his face " that's why I make a dollar for every 69 cents you make "

Without turning around she sent some of the bath water his way while the Alessandra out of the bathroom.

Francesca POV

With my children with the nanny I got dressed for a date. After hours of Alex persuading me to come on a date with one of his friends I agreed.

I got dressed in a body hugging dress and flats, I wasn't really to big on make up. The drive to the restaurant was nerve racking hoping that I didn't get paired up with an obnoxious arrogant guy.

Finally arriving at the restaurant, I saw a tall guy with green eyes and long blonde hair holding up a sign that said my name. I smiled at him and offered my hand "Francesca". He took my hand and shook it making me get lost in his green eyes " Drake".

We finally got seated across from a noisy table of what I took as Italians , a feeling of nostalgia overwhelmed me but I don't let that affect me.

Drake and I played 20 questions and it felt good talking to him. When the waiter finally came he was flirting with me. He was quite blatant in his attempts, earning  a scowl from Drake.

" If you don't stop looking at my date I'm going to need a bucket of ice for your face"

I couldn't help but burst into laughter, but of course as soon as I laughed the restaurant quieted down, my laughter ringing thought the enclosed space. I was wondering what happened to the boisterous Italian group; I found them all standing awaiting his presence. I manage to drag my eyes away from my table my eyes meeting  steel blue eyes.

I whispered "Alessandro".

I looked into his eyes; that was my first mistake. I couldn't bring myself away from his eyes ; earning a curious look from drake.

" Did you just hear anything I said"

That brought me out of my trance. I have him a sheepish smile " I'm sorry my ex is here can we go somewhere else"

He gave me a quirk nod and signaled the waiter not to sorry with our order.

He placed his hand on my lower back, surprisingly I found myself leaning into his touch. I couldn't help look back and see the anger, hurt and pain that flooded his eyes.
