ALESSANDRO

CHAPTER 38 : "It's over Aless, it's all over."

"Last night you said you did not kill Seb." I said it. I couldn't hold myself. I just said it.

I need to know it from him.

He just stared at me but didn't say anything for a minute.

"Did you believe me?"

"You were drunk, Aless and people tend to speak the truth when they are drunk."

He shrugged "Then I didn't."

"What?"

"Like you believed me last night, believe me now. I didn't kill him." The sarcasm was visible in his tone. He is not serious. He is being an ass.

I want to slap him. So so hard. So fucking hard.

"This is not a joke! It's our life! It's about Sebastian's death! I-It's about us. Stop playing with it!"

He left my arm. He has never looked so calm in his life like he looks now.

Something has changed. It's visible from the way he spoke.

"Believe whatever you want to."

Saying he just left the room.

I just stared at the way he went.

He did not explain himself, if he wanted he could've defended himself but he didn't. It's like he wanted to take the blame.

What the hell is happening!? Why is he doing this with me?

I went back to my office, working on my laptop. But I couldn't focus, it's just too much going on. I am unable to take it. I want my pills. But I don't have them.

I don't know after how long but I heard a knock on my door. I muttered a 'come in'.

Antonio came in. I stood up from my seat passing him a light smile.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey."

"Where's brother?"

"I don't know."

"Aren't you his PA?"

I shrugged "So?"

"You should know."

I scoffed "He wouldn't tell me."

"You both fought again, didn't you?"

I rolled my eyes.

"What is it about now?"

"Your brother is an ass. I can't put my son's life in danger because of him."

"You know he would never let anyone hurt the two of you, right? He will protect you with his life."

I know. I know what he can do.

I didn't reply.

"What is it, Ariana?"

I could feel tears in my eyes, "I-I d-don't know. I don't know. I can't understand anything."

"Hey, why you crying?" He asked moving closer to me.

"L-Last night he was drunk and he said things to me."

"What did he say?"

"He said h-he didn't kill Sebastian."

Antonio's eyes widened at that point. He looked serious than ever.

"I-I want to know the truth. I don't want to hate him for something he hasn't even done. I don't know what he is hiding? I asked him this morning, he just took the blame. Why would he do that? Why didn't he defend himself?"
