(NFTMB)Chapter 60
Alessandro
(I’ll Make You See)
Rage.
Pure Rage.
Absolute and Uncontrollable Rage.
That was all I felt and nothing else.
I needed to release my frustrations. I needed to ease my anger.
I need to hit something to feel something. Pain
That was why I was currently punching the fuck out of the punching bag in my gym.
Amara doesn’t do it for me anymore. I tried and it just wasn’t working. I wasn’t feeling it and I wasn’t feeling her anymore.
Victoria is the cause of all this and she is definitely going to pay for it.
Big time.
The tablet in front of me was my only way of knowing what goes on in this house, at every moment and in every corner.
I am watching. At all times.
Even as I was in the gym I still had it propped up on the treadmill.
I can’t take my eyes off even for a second.
The minute I take my eyes off of the screen, things will begin to go wrong and I hate that.
I am supposed to be in control at all times.
I hadn’t even noticed Victoria and Valentino were getting quite close. Too close than I would usually permit.
They thought they could make a fool of me.
I’ll show them.
“Sir, can I go now?”
I had forgotten that this girl was still here. I looked at her sitting on the floor and clutching her ripped clothes in her hand.
“Leave!”
The sound of my voice sent Amara dashing through the room and out the door.
I was right. I didn’t have the urge for Amara.
It all seemed so bland and bleak now. She wasn’t who I wanted.
I wanted Victoria.
She was the one who caused all this and she would be the one to fix it.
She will pay for this.
Just in time, I thought to myself as I saw her walking into the house with a gloomy expression on her face, even her shoulders were sagged.
Is she that sad to come back home to me, the father of her baby? Well, too bad for her because I am going to be permanent in her and the baby’s life whether she likes it or not.
I increased my pace on the treadmill as I watched her wipe her eyes for a moment before sitting down.
Why didn’t she come straight upstairs to me?
After a while of intense running for me and feeling my heart rate increase I saw her slowly stand up from the original one hundred percent leather seats and head somewhere wise.
The connecting camera at the top of the stairs showed her slowly walking upstairs but instead of her going towards her left which was my room, I watched Victoria take her right and I knew exactly where my wife was going to.
She was going to Valentino’s wing of the mansion.
Madness.
That was what I felt at that moment, madness, instant madness.
I couldn’t even think or act rationally as I ran like a mad man on the treadmill while my hand reached out and pulled up the surveillance camera at the top of that wing.
Thank fuck I had one installed there just in case.
I watched her stand before Valentino’s door with her head down as she slowly raised her hand up and looked like she was having an inward debate with herself on if she should knock or not.
Finally, she slowly eased her hand up and made the lightest fucking knock I had ever seen.
Even from the screen I could tell that her knock was almost inaudible.
The door was opened as I saw Valentino walk out in nothing but his sweatpants. He must have stepped out of the shower.
That sight alone made me fucking sad but still not as much as the next thing she did.
Without a care about the fact that she was standing before a half naked man who wasn’t me, Victoria lept into Valentino’s arms.
Immediately he opened the fucking door she fucking hugged him and he held her tightly before walking into his room and closing the door, shutting me out of their private moment.
How dare they? How dare she?
Is Victoria having an affair with Valentino?
I saw red.
In anger I turned off the treadmill and stormed out of the gym and to the one place I itched to be.
My strong legs coupled with the anger I felt inside me at the prospect of Valentino harboring stupid feelings for Victoria made me arrive at the door that held their filthy secrets in no time.
I barged into the room to find her clutched to Valentino’s side in tears.
He was consoling her as she cried and probably confessed what was bothering her to him.
So she wouldn’t tell me what was wrong with her when I asked but she would gladly disclose it to Valentino.
“Oh my God! Alessandro”
The speed at which she removed herself from Valentino’s side and embrace was enough to tell me that these two were doing something bad behind my back.
You would think that she was burned by fire or maybe that she sat on a seat of pins and needles with how fast she sprung up from her previous position.
“Yes, it’s me”
My short response was enough to let her know that I had caught on to their games and I wasn’t happy about it. Not at all.
“Don’t you know how to knock, Alessandro?”
Valentino looked pissed at me as I could see every evidence of his anger and irritation on his face.
“Why the fuck should I knock when you have my wife in here with you when you’re half naked. What do you plan on doing to her, Valentino?”.
It’s true. He still hadn’t put a shirt on.
“What the hell do you mean? You think I’m a pervert? A predator? That I’m going to take advantage of Victoria? Rape her? Here? Are you serious? I was just coming out from the shower before she knocked! I’m offended, Alessandro!”
“Why are you so defensive, Valentino?”
“Alessandro, it’s not what you think, please”. Victoria said slowly from her position.
She was still sad and crying.
“Don’t apologize, Victoria, you didn’t do anything wrong. Besides, Alessandro, she isn’t your wife. Yet”
Victoria looked at a very brave Valentino with wide eyes as she herself was very surprised by the utterance from valentino.
“I see we’ve gotten to this point now, brother”
I spat the brother with so much venom that I know he noticed it. He blinked twice, his body language almost looking apologetic but his facial expression was still the same, neutral, never giving away a thing.
“Did I lie, Alessandro?”
“Valentino, please enough”. Victoria cried out.
She was up from her former position and by my side in a flash.
“Alessandro, I’m sorry. Let’s go”. She said softly while holding my hand.
“Victoria?”
“Valentino, I need to go. I’ll see you later. I promise”
She slowly tugged on my hand and was looking at me with those tear filled ocean blue eyes.
I pulled my hand away from hers immediately as she flinched and covered her face when I raised my hand to point at Valentino.
She expected me to hit her here? Well, she had better brace herself for what was coming.
Valentino’s eyes didn’t miss Victoria’s reaction as he looked at me with anger.
“We are not done yet!”. I said to Valentino as I pointed a finger at him while he stood rigid with his shoulders squared.
He didn’t back down and his gaze never faltered.
“Come here!”. I said to Victoria before grabbing her by the elbow and dragging her out of Valentino’s room and straight to mine.
I shut the door behind me and made sure it was locked before turning to face the architect of all my problems.
“Where have you been?”
Immediately she heard my question, a look of guilt and fear marred her facial expression as she stood fidgeting and twisted her fingers together.
“I went out to visit my friends. I told you and you allowed me to go. Alone”
“I’m not experiencing amnesia and neither am I old enough to be in the clutches of dementia”. She looked at me with fearful eyes and increased breathing. “I asked you where the fuck you have been!”
She jumped back in fright due to my tone as she took a step back while I watched her like a predator.
“Alessandro, we went to the park and hesorry uhm, they took me out for lunch, that’s all Alessandro. That’s all”
She was still lying to me. She was still trying to play me for a fool.
Victoria thought she could deceive me.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes, Alessandro. I would never lie to you”
There’s that attempt at deceit from her again. You say you would never lie to me when you’re practically lying to my face.
She really can’t be trusted. Not one bit.
“So, if I bring Curt here right now, he can attest to your claims?”
Her face paled at the mention of the driver who had taken her out of the house and dropped her off at God knows where to meet up with God knows who.
At this point, she definitely knew that there was no other way to get out of this mountain of lies that she had been making.
“What, Victoria? Can’t talk?!”
As soon as I snapped at her, she knew she was busted and that there was no way out anymore. She knew she couldn’t lie to me anymore.
“Alessandro, I’m sorry”. She said in tears as she took another step backwards.
I smirked at the fact that she thought she could run from me.
She can’t escape me.
Nobody can.
I had spent the entire afternoon going over the photos my men took of her and her so-called friend out on a date.
She was very happy and all smiles throughout.
Whoever he is, he must have been a wealthy man because the restaurant he took her to costs quite a lot.
“You’re sorry?”
“Yes. I’m sorry for lying to you. Please forgive me”. She begged, placing her hands together.
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t deal with you the way you ought to be handled for lying to me”
In a flash she was already on her knees begging me with her blue eyes and wet eyelashes.
“I would do anything you want just please don’t hit me”
Well, that’s where we were going to have an issue because hitting her was one thing I was really itching to do now.
“What were you doing with Valentino?”
She looked taken aback as she seemed to find it unbelievable that I had caught on to them.
“Valentino?”
She was still trying to lie to me. To make it seem like there wasn’t anything going on between them when literally everyone can see through their ruse.
Mother, Niccolo hell everyone could see that he has his eyes on her. For her own safety it had better be one sided.
Everyone could notice their lingering stares.
“So you don’t want me anymore?! It’s Valentino for you now?! He’s what you want now?! Tell me, do you want to sleep with Valentino too?! Maybe I should bring him in here and give you what you desire. I bet you would love that!”
She noticed my anger and took three steps back before trying to run across the bed but I swiftly caught her by her hair.
“Alessandro, stop please!”
“You’re trying to run from me?! What does Valentino do for you that I don’t do for you?! Is that what you’re going to do? Flirt around with every man you see?!”.
“Ahhh, Alessandro it hurts! Stop that! I don’t know what you’re talking about”.
Her face had flushed a dim shade of red at the pain that must have been radiating from her scalp and spreading all over body.
“You really don’t know what I’m talking about, Victoria?! Fine! I’ll make you see!”
“Alessandro, no!”
