The door to my office suddenly burst open and Alessia walked in, Leo following behind her.
“ I tried to stop her," he said as he looked at me with a shrug.
" It's okay Leo, I got this,” I said as I slowly stood up from my chair. And then I turned to her, my face cold.
" What do you want?” I asked with disgust on my face.
" I need you to tell me what that stupid slut said last night was a lie?” My eyes narrowed into slits.
" Don't ever fucking call my wife a slut,” I said as I took a threatening step towards her.
“ What does that cheap woman have on me?" she asked and I couldn't help but laugh.
“ Cheap? You dare call my wife cheap? She manages one of the biggest hotels in this country and you know nothing but to spend your parents money on plastic surgeries and shopping so when next you use the word cheap, think again." I said and I could see her face flame up in anger.
“ We were perfect," she whispered, her voice suddenly becoming soft and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
“ There has never been anything between us, and there never will be, I'm married," I said as I lifted my hand so she could see my ring finger.
“ You're supposed to be married to me and not her, this is crazy Antonio," she said as she burst into tears and I took a step away from her.
She was making me cringe.
“ Please Alessia, leave my office I'm begging you, just go find another man and maybe get married, yeah,” I said and was about to walk back to my chair but stopped when she suddenly started laughing.
She sounded like a sick psychopath.
“ Never! You're never going to be with her, I'll do everything within my power to make sure that you're mine, mine! Mine! Mine!" she shouted and I looked at her with scrunched brows before turning to Leo.
“ Please take her out of my office, she's getting on my fucking nerves," I said and without a second thought Leo held her arm and started dragging her out of my office.
“ No Antonio! I'm the woman you love," she struggled against Leo's strong grip but he didn't let her go.
“Tell me you love her! Tell me you love her then I'll leave you alone, look me in the eyes and say it!" Gosh she was giving me a headache with her shouting.
“ Go on, say it," she said,
I slowly walked to where she was as I stopped in front of her and looked her straight in the eyes.
“How can I not love my wife? She's my wife and I love her with all my heart and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it, please excuse me," she looked shocked but she tried to mask it.
“ I don't believe you," she said as she forced her arm free from Leo's before she stormed out of my office angrily.
“ That was dramatic," Leo said with a shake of his head.
“ Tell me about it, make sure she never steps foot in this building again, I don't want to see her," I said as I walked to my chair and sat down, rubbing my head in frustration.
I hated women that didn't have an ounce of respect for themselves. What was so hard to understand? I don't like you even for a bit. Get over it.
“What?" I asked when I noticed Leo giving me a weird look.
“ You know you sounded very possessive about your wife, especially when she called her a slut," he said as he sat down on the chair in front of me.
“ What type of man would I be if I let someone talk shit about my wife whether I love her or not?" I said,
“ Okay…" he drawled. “And I believe you," he said and I narrowed my eyes on him.
" I believe that you love your wife with all your heart,”
" Get out of my office Leo, get out,” I said and he stood up laughing.
" You should really stop fighting it, let go, just let go and you'll see the picture clearer, that picture you're refusing to see.” He said before throwing me a mock salute and waking out of my office.
There was nothing to see except what I wanted to see.
I was about to get back to work when my phone started ringing and I saw that it was a call from my mom.
“ Hey gorgeous," I said,
“ Son, are you okay?" she asked, her voice sounding worried and I quickly sat up straight.
“ I'm doing okay, why?" I asked,
“ I heard about what happened last night and I got very worried." Who the heck told my Mom about something like this?
“How did you know Mom? Who told you?” I asked,
" That's not the problem right now, I'm just worried about my children and I learnt the target might be your wife, I'll call her after this, I just want you both to be happy, I don't know who's doing this," she said and I heard her voice crack.
Come on, just how much did she know and why would anyone tell her this? The last thing I wanted was for my mom to be worried.
“ Mom, we're fine, please just don't call my wife, she's already worried as it is, if she finds out you know, it would add to her stress that she's making her family worried too,"
“Oh son, you're so sweet and considerate, you're right I don't think I should call her but please take care of her, make sure you pick her up from work from henceforth, okay?" she said,
“ Yes Mom, I'll do that,"
“Please be careful son, both of you," she said and I nodded but realized she couldn't see me.
" Yes Mom, don't worry,” I said,
" I love you son,” she said before she ended the call and I couldn't help but sigh.
I already assigned a bodyguard to watch over her from afar, so there was no need for me to pick her up.
But for some stupid reason, there was something nagging me to make sure I pick her up from work just like my mom said.
For my mom's sake, I'll do it.
