Alya's pov~

"Ayla, what are you talking about? Alessio asked. He was panicking, scared
about what my words meant, while I was breaking inside.

"I wanted to believe you were different," I whispered hoarsely, hating how my voice broke over those words. I hated how much power Alessio had over me.

He was my peace, my strength, but he was also my weakness. He had the power to break me.

And that was exactly what he did.
After putting my heart together, after giving me hope, he took it all away,
leaving me empty and broken again.

"I thought you were different," I continued in the same small voice. It was true I knew what type of man he was, but with me, he was different

The Alessio I knew was sweet and gentle. Out there he was a killer and
heartless, but with me, he was everything I needed.

Swiping my tears away, I finally tumed toward Alessio. Even in the darkness,

I could see his tensed body and rigid shoulders. His face was twisted with panic and dread

"But I was wrong." I choked on the words.

I didn't have to say anything else. Realization flashed in his blue eyes. He
understood that I knew the truth.

"Why? asked, my voice dropping to a mere whisper. He took a step forward but stopped when I shok my head. A sudden surge of anger coursed through my body, prompting me to quickly stand up and face him.

"Ayla... he breathed, his voice shaky. I didn't know why, but his voice made
me angrier. It reminded me of when my world fell apart around me, crushing me
mercilessiy.

Where are you going? Maddie asked as I walked up the stairs.

Without stopping, I said over my shoulder, "i'm going to see Alessio." Since morning, after Lyov and Isaak made their appearance, I haven't seen Alessio.

His missing presence had left an aching hole in my chest, and I just wanted to be
hear him again, even if it was just for a few minutes.

Smiling, I made my way to his office. I was only a few feet away when I saw

the door open, and Sasha ran out, her face panicked. My eyebrows pulled up in
a frown at the sight of her.

"What's wrong?" I asked, walking closer. She gasped at the sight of me, her hands going up to her chest. My eyes widened when I saw what she was holding.

A ripped red tnong. My eyes snapped to hers, and she looked away guiltily, biting on her lips nervously

"Why are you holding your underwear? l asked curtly after a moment ofbsilence. Before she could answer, Viktor's loud booming voice came through from Alessio's office.

Confused, I looked back at Sasha, but she avoided eye contact with me.
Without answering to my question, she walked around me. I was left dumbfounded, as I stood frozen in my spot.

My hands were shaking, and I trembled slightly as Viktor continued yelling.

When I heard Alessio's voice, I finally snapped out of my daze and walked
forward until I was standing in front of the door.

I didn't know what to expect, my mind still lost on what I just saw. But then
my heart stuttered to a stone lost in what I just heard... Alessio's words were conracting painfully when I heard his words,  My legs weakened, and my stomach twisted. I suddenly went numb

"My plan was to get close to Ayla to make her reveal her truth. We had to
know if she was a traitor. That was the fucking plan.

I choked back a sob when I understood his meaning. They still thought I was
a spy. It was all a lie. They never believed me.
