(NFTMB)Chapter 36
Alessandro
(Willing Or Kicking And Screaming)
This place was about to become a madhouse soon. With Niccolo’s return, I knew that any moment from now Valentino, Mother and that nuisance, Fabiano would be back home.
A knock sounded on the door interrupting my thoughts.
“Come in”. I said never taking my eyes away from the door.
“Alessandro, what time does mother, Fabiano and Valentino arrive?”.
It was Niccolo who was holding my son.
“In an hour, tops. I see you’ve finally noticed my boy”. I said in a sarcastic tone.
“Stop with the sarcasm brother”. He said, rolling his eyes.
“I’m just noticing, Nic. Don’t get so serious. Besides, a little birdie told me that you were looking to bag an heir for yourself. What went wrong? Or she hasn’t started showing yet?”. I was curious to know.
Bianca said that Niccolo was planning on getting that whiny whore of his pregnant. I’m surprised she isn’t bloated yet.
“Jasmine doesn’t want to have a baby now. She says it’ll ruin her figure and ultimately ruin her career. She’s an aspiring actress. As you know, not all of us can be lucky to find women who are willing and easy to deal with like you. Jasmine is opinionated and has a mind of her own. She’s the modern woman”. He said as he was softly patting Matteo’s bum.
Niccolo is such a fool.
He would let a lousy and weak woman like Jasmine control him? Pathetic.
“So, she wears the pants in your relationship?”. I asked him hoping to hear a somewhat reasonable explanation as to why he was still childless.
“It’s not like that. I’m the man in charge, not her!”. He was starting to get angry.
So Niccolo has a fragile ego?
Works for me.
“Doesn’t seem like it to me. She influences your decisions and she goes against your orders. I was watching you both. She tells you what to do. Learn to keep your whore in line!”.
“I control Jasmine and it’s not the other way around. Besides, what would you have me do?! Forcefully impregnate her?! Never! I would never do that!”.
I chuckled at his amateur thinking. He still reasoned like a new adult.
It was a sickening behavior for a Rossi.
“It doesn’t fucking matter, Nic! What matters is that you get the child! Who the hell does she think she is! Refusing to bear your child because of something as fickle as body changes! Nonsense!”.
“What would you fucking have me do!”. He yelled in response as Matteo stirred in his sleep.
“I would rather you be a man and take charge of your goddamn relationship and your woman! You want a child? You fucking make one! It doesn’t matter if she’s willing or if she’s fucking kicking and screaming! You’re a man so be a man! She’s no match for you!
You give her everything she wants, needs and craves! And the only thing you ask for in return, she denies you?! Open your eyes and see the mediocrity of this parasitic relationship you have!”.
“What you’re asking of me is wrong. I can’t bring myself to do it”.
“You’re not getting any younger, Niccolo. You’re a Rossi and we don’t bite the dust without an heir. It’s a taboo! It’s unheard of! Either that or you find someone else. If your slut is too precious to you then find someone else who is willing. The clock is ticking”.
“You’re not exactly making this whole thing easy for me, brother. I’m a one woman man. At least concerning relationships like this. I can’t handle two nagging women”.
I laughed at how soft Niccolo was. The free life he has been leading in New York has actually made him forget the type of blood that runs through his veins.
My father must be turning in his grave.
“What I am about to tell you, Nic, is something that has been kept a secret for a long time”.
“What are you talking about?”. Niccolo eyed me suspiciously as he sat down.
“Amara isn’t just my maid, she’s my mistress”.
“What the fuck!?”. Niccolo really didn’t see that one coming.
“The child Victoria is carrying was meant to be my third child and not the second. Amara was pregnant for me in the past. She lost the baby”.
“You lied to me! I asked you countless times how a young girl that looks like that would actually be just a maid in your house and you looked me in the eyes and lied to me!”.
“I owe you no explanation, Niccolo! I don’t answer to you or anyone!”.
“Yes, you don’t! But at least an honest answer would have been appreciated”.
“I’m being honest right now, aren’t I?”.
“It doesn’t matter! I can’t do what you do. I can’t have two women I fuck living together with me under the same roof! It’s not going to go down well”.
“It’s nothing difficult! Amara knows Victoria is pregnant for me and is going to be my wife soon and she has no other option but to live with that and as for Victoria, she knows I can’t stop fucking Amara and that I don’t want to part with Amara now, so she has to bear with it. It’s not rocket science”
“That’s not for me. I can’t see myself doing that. How can you have sex with your maid under your pregnant wife’s nose! That’s disrespectful!”.
“I did it last night”. I said nonchalantly. I don’t care.
Niccolo was at a loss for words.
“I have no words for you, Alessandro. I can’t do what you’re advising. You’re handling yours well and that’s so nice but for me, I’m not cut out for that kind of life. Jasmine and I will wait till whenever she’s ready”. Niccolo stood up with Matteo in his arms.
“Is that so?”. I asked him, feeling rather amused at how young his reasoning was. Perhaps, Las Vegas wasn’t the best place for him.
“Yes. If you’ll excuse me, I need to lay your son down”. That was the last thing he said before he walked out the door with my sleeping baby.
I’m rethinking this whole Las Vegas lifestyle. Seems like Niccolo is forgetting his strong Italian roots.
