SWNOVELS Chapter Bitter Encounter
It was dinner time at the Russo Villa, and all three Russo brothers were filling up their tummy after the tiring day of today.
'Why is it so hard to believe that we have successfully snatched the deal out from Alessandro' Salvatore exclaimed after taking the sip from his drink, the burning in his throat gave him satisfaction and pleasure. 'Same here, but we should applaud Giovanni for his wisdom' Samuel cut the piece of steak and shoved it in his mouth appreciating his eldest brother for all the efforts he had put in forcing the Alessandro to back up from this project. Giovanni smiled politely to his brother's, after the death of their parents he had raised his brothers playing a father figure for them, for them his heart is always filled with love and care.
'It was obvious that Alessandro will take over the CEO position and how much he was eager to whirl up the Martini business after getting the power was not unknown to me, thanks to our relation we had with Martinis, we knew him very well' placing down the fork and knife on the plate Giovanni wrapped his hands over each other focusing his gaze on his brothers who were seated on the either side of him.
Salvatore and Samuel passed a side smile, the word relation with Martini wanted them to chuckle but they let it go for now.
'That was the moment I realized we have to find the weakness of him, but I must say our nephew is a smart guy he made sure to keep his profile very low hence his matters were kept very private, but I was not the one to accept the defeat easily.' Salvatore nodded thoughtfully.
'But we have just handed over his kids to him so what about future? If we wanted to force him what trick we will use, otherwise we all know power or fighting nothing applies on him.' Giovanni crossed his hands after wiping them with napkin. 'The fun has just started my brother, children are the weakness of their parents and we will make sure Alessandro's kid become one for him' an evil smile playing on his lips.
'By the way, let me remind you to be careful and quick in arranging and sorting out all the matters related to the project with Mr. Harris tomorrow in meeting, Alessandro won't sit quiet watching us taking away the mouthwatering deal out from his mouth.' Salvatore nodded and glanced at his younger brother who had already stopped eating and was looking like lost in his thoughts.
'What are you thinking so deeply huh?' asking directly from him, he jolted out his brother from his own chain of thoughts.
'About Autumn, you guys know that she is my ex' Giovanni tilted his head to look at his brother questioningly, what is he up to for mentioning her here at this time when they are talking about business.
'Yeah, we do' sliding down the piece of roasted lobster mushroom in his plate he answered to him.
'Since she is the mother of his sons, will he keep her or let her go?' Salvatore and Giovanni looked at each other, his question was out of blue.
'Why does it concern you?' Giovanni asked strictly.
'I want her back' Salvatore rolled his tongue inwardly in his mouth.
'Don't worry, you will get plenty of moments now when we will have a bitter encounter with our nephew, no matter how much Martinis hate us, they can't deny the relation they had with us, not at least publicly for the sake of their reputation.' His emotions burst, stretching his lips in cheeky smile.
'Thank you so much bro' clinking his glass of wine with his brothers he chugs down his in one go, whereas a sadistic smile was itching to come on Giovanni's lips to which he suppresses, seeing the Alessandro in worst situation was his current target.
The room was lit with dim light, Natalie and kids were sleeping peacefully after the proper treatment was provided to them, the bandages were wrapped around the wrist of all of them, Autumn was seated on the single bench available in the room, the scene was a relax and beam for her eyes seeing her family right in front of her eyes.
When she did arrive here after having a talk with the so called father and his family of her sons, she found the doctor finalizing his checkup procedure on them, before leaving he assured her that they are fine and will wake up in the morning so there was nothing to worry and required medication was provided to them.
She leaned back in tiredness, today turned out as a heart wrenching day for her, she was still going through emotional disturbance but had somehow managed them alone, she moves her head to find any pillow so she can also take a quick nap before they all wake up, she had to be fresh for them, although in her formal clothes it would be a challenge for her to get comfortable, considering the situation right now, she was in shortage of options, sighing she lay down resting her head under her arm. It didn't take long for her to feel dizzy, she happily let the sleep to consume her but at the very moment the door of room was opened jerking her awake very alert in case of any threat, the effect of the day was still lingering on her mind.
'It is me' seeing her standing ready to attack, Alessandro spoke out promptly to avoid any mishap.
'Sorry, I am still scared and you guys just brought it to the new height' slumping down on the bench she said to him, eyes fixed on her babies.
'Come out, I have to talk to you' lowering himself Alessandro whispers in her ear.
'Something has still left to talk?' she turned her head to look at his handsome face in shock. Shaking his head Alessandro hold her elbow and drag her out of the room, he ordered his men to guard the room properly while he took her out of the portion bringing her to the main area of the mansion.
'Where are you taking me?' Alessandro didn't bother to answer and kept moving forward, ascending the stairs. Autumn wriggle in his hold, her brain was yelling in her skull for what he was doing? She assumed that on upper floor will be the rooms of all the family members including his, was he taking her to his room, the blood drained from her face and her wriggling increased.
'Let me go, why have you brought me here' she muttered quietly, she doesn't want all of his family to come out and watch the scene and then making conclusions according to their perception.
'Can't you keep your mouth shut and follow me quietly' turning his face abruptly he glared in her eyes, due to sudden spinning of his face, his lips brushes with her cheek. Autumn was stunned at the feel of his soft lips on her cheeks whereas, contact with her delicate skin had burned the desire in him, his gaze got intense, she shivered under his gaze and narrowed her eyes to catch someone around them for help.
'I am not comfortable and we shouldn't do something on which we might regret later' saying meekly she rested her palms on his chest and pushed him making a distance between them, the push jerked him, Alessandro immediately composed himself.
'You won't be comfortable in these clothes, you should change in comfier clothes to get a better sleep' once they entered in his room, he opened his closet and moved his clothes back and forth until he found a reasonable t-shirt and trouser for her.
'Take them, we don't have any woman in our house so the only option I have for you is my clothes, I will ask my man to arrange tomorrow morning the closet for you and your friend' Autumn was surprised, she wasn't expecting him to be so thoughtful, hesitantly, she extend her hand to take the clothes from his hand.
'There is the changing room, if you want you can have shower as well' pointing towards the closed door Alessandro released her elbow, allowing her to go for change.
Autumn closed the door behind her and checked the clothes in her hand, it was grey sweat shirt and black trouser, a sigh escape from her lips, she examined the bathroom, everything in here was screaming the money, imported tiles to huge bath tub, large vanity and perfect shower set.
'Let's get through this quickly' it was getting difficult for her to digest the abrupt change in her life in one day, she opened the tap and warm water touched her weary body making her moan in relaxation.
