Chapter 29: In Which She Is Doomed

"How come you never mentioned that you'd be coming to Italy yesterday on the phone when we talked? was this supposed to be a surprise of sorts?" Alexander asked.

After their intimate bath they just sat on the king sized bed in each other's company, with Isla snuggled up to him as he affectionately ran his fingers through her soft silky hair.

"Well no not really, it wasn't meant to be a surprise or anything infact I didn't even know I'd be coming to Italy when we were talking on the phone it was like midnight when dad informed me that I had a flight early at like 5 Am in the morning to Italy and then after that I packed and got like an hour sleep before having to leave but I guess it turned out to be a nice surprise" she explained offering him a smile.

"It did, too bad you have a dinner date with that sleazy bastard" His jaw clenched at the thought of the dinner from hell that Isla will be attending.

She too scrunched up her face at the impending doom that she had to get ready for now and had laid out a beautiful evening gown for it.

" I wish I could stay here and not go " She mumbled into his naked chest.

"I would keep you here if it were only up to me but for now we can't do that, just wait a little longer and you wouldn't have to deal with him in the end" Alexander said. It was clear to Isla that Alexander was brewing up a plan in his brain but if he wasn't going to tell her then she wouldn't pry cause she trusted him with everything and even if they don't end up together, she would be grateful for the time they spent together.

"I look forward to that time but for now the hair and makeup girls would be here in 20 I was informed so help me put on my dress and then you have to leave" She said finding the will in herself to push herself up off his chest as she sat up straight, Alexander let out a grunt of disapproval but didn't say anything as he too got up off the bed and while he did so, Isla couldn't help herself but feast her eyes on his strong back as the muscles on his back flexed, She had a very handsome boyfriend.

Alexander could feel her burning gaze on him as he dressed but didn't say anything as he had made her blush way too much and this would only embarrass his shy little vixen ever though they had done much wicked just an hour ago and he was all hers to ogle at.

He carefully picked up her midnight blue evening gown which was full-sleeved with a beautiful broach on the net line and slit along the leg.

He carried it to her and helped her off the bed where she was only sitting in her undergarments that'she had put on after the bath.

She supported her weight on him as she held onto his shoulders and he assisted her in slipping on the gown up from her legs.

He then leaned over her shoulder a little and pulled the zip up with ease and the gown perfectly hugged her curves. He drawled his eyes over her and she looked so beautiful that he almost took that dress off other again.

"Does it look alright?" She asked, gazing up at him from her thick lashes.

He answered with a kiss between her brows and said" You look splendid love" the compliment of course had her blushing.

Alexander sat her back down on the bed and placed her crutches near her before leaving with one last soft kiss to her cheek.



The hair and makeup girls came in shortly after and within less than an hour Isla was all ready with light makeup on her, her hair worn up which exposed her delicate neck which was adorned with a beautiful diamond necklace and matching studs in her ears.

Just like each time, she knocked the breath out of Alexander's lungs for a moment from her beauty as she stepped outside of the room with the support of her crutches. Alexander didn't have to say anything as she could clearly see the appreciation in his eyes.

However, Alexander was also pissed that she was looking that stunning to meet Jamerson but he didn't let it show considering that Isla already looked pretty nervous and anxious for the dinner, he didn't need to add to that.


"You fucking kidding me right?" Alexander was pissed off upon hearing the new information.

"That is the address that he gave the chaffer boss" one of the men on Isla's security team told Alexander.

They were in the limo that was sent by Jamerson, Isla had 3 guards with her along with Alexander who was sitting beside her but with a respectful distance, and two others on the seat in front of her.

It was kind of awkward but that awkwardness was the least of her worries when she heard that Jamerson had actually invited her over to his club which was a whole lot different from what she had expected which was a fancy restaurant or something of that sort but the club had her anxiety levels sky rocketing and from the looks of it Alexander didn't look pleased either to say the least.

"It was supposed to be dinner, he never said anything about a club" he said, his teeth gritted, jaw tight.

Nobody said anything else and tension in the car was thick the whole ride.

Alexander wanted to comfort her and tell her everything would be okay that he'll be there the whole time but he couldn't.

Even though the car ride was at least an hour long it seemed so short when they finally came to a halt in front of club Estoril and Isla's hands went cold as soon as she was helped out of the car and handed her crutches which she held with shakey but firm hands.

She actually felt glad for the crutches cause she felt as if her legs would give out without them, her being a temporary cripple aside.

Even Alexanders reassuring eyes didn't seem to help
her this time.

They were given security clearance in seconds as soon as the name of the Gambino heiress came up and they were escorted inside by one of the Seigel men.

He led them right to a VIP area with heavy security. Isla could feel Alexander right behind has in fact very close to her as she could feel the heat of him at her back, that brought her some comfort at least but even that comfort was taken away when they came to a stop in front of black glass tinted doors and were met with the sight of Jameson coming out to receive her.
