Allegra's pov:

"Hmmm," Santino groaned, my legs were hooked over his shoulder. The feeling of ecstasy clouded my mind, drowning out my sense of reasoning.

"Don't stop," I pleaded. I could see the smile on his face. My eyes rolled as a feeling of release took over me, my legs shaking. He collapsed beside me, smiling.

"You're really good," he said breathlessly."Nope, you're the best," my hand was running through my hair, I got up after catching my breath, and walked to the bathroom, my leg still weak from the intensity.

I'm Allegra De Luca. I'm twenty, and I met Santino last month. He was my first and every second of what we had was electric and addicting.

I entered the bathtub, the smell of petals filled the air. I sank inside the bathtub exposing only my head. I knew this wouldn't end well.

I promised to stop this escapade but I found myself craving for him everyday and I still fell back at his call every time.

He was good and attractive too but I'm not sure he's ready to settle, especially not with a college girl like me.

The door knob turned, Santino entered. "Why are you here?" I raised a brow. He was bare-chested, and his abs were on full display.

A deadly and seductive smile curled on his lips, he moved closer to me and bent down "I'll make you call for help" his voice was seductive, Feeling of warmth washed over me.

My breath caught in my throat as my body betrayed my better judgment again. I bit my lips to prevent myself from moaning.

"Why? I still have to go to my hostel, my bestie would be worried" I smiled. I've been in this hotel room with Santino for over five hours and I know Fiorella, my bestie ,must be losing her mind now.

"Why? You don't want me?" His deep and husky voice shut out my sense of reasoning. How could a man be this attractive and yet sexy at the same time.

I closed my eyes and his tongue savoured my earlobe. He got up suddenly, "I'll drop you off," he smiled. Relief washed over me, I have to start crafting lies to tell Fiorella.

I walked out of the bathtub without washing myself up properly. I met Santino fully dressed.

"You could have waited..."

"Shhh..." he gestured, indicating he was on a call.

I kept quiet and simply wore my dress in silence and waited for him to finish. When he finished, he turned to me and smiled.

"I was on a call, I'm sorry" he said softly.

"It's fine" I faked a smile. He moved closer to me, lifting my chin "look at me" he muttered.

"You're my baby, okay? And there's no one else but you in my life, okay?" he declared.

The more he tried to comfort me, the more uneasy I felt. It was supposed to be a good feeling but it wasn't to me.

I smiled bitterly, I'll stop seeing him before I get hurt.

"Let's go," he stretched his hand, I accepted it and we walked out of the hotel room together.

"Do you want to shop for some school essentials together?" He asked as we reached the parking lot.

I simply ignored him and slid into his car slamming the door.

He got in and reached for my hand,"What do you want?".

I didn't know what I wanted honestly, my eyes welled up in tears. He pulled me closer.

"Don't cry baby girl, you have me" he consoled, I wiped my tears and fastened my seatbelt.

"Are you good now?" a trace of concern flashed across his eyes, my eyes welled up in tears again.

I feel emotionally attached to him, and seeing his ring the other time was making guilt eat me up.

I wouldn't be a mistress for any man, I couldn't ruin another woman's home.

I'll have to stop seeing him and this is the last time, I promised myself like many other times.

"I don't want us to see again" I muttered after a few minutes of silence, he pressed the accelerator. I almost hit my head on the dashboard.

"What?" I screamed angrily. "What did you say?" anger was evident in his eyes.

"I want us to stop this" I screamed, tears clouded my eyes and my sense of reasoning.

"I can introduce you to everyone as my woman" he said firmly and reached out for my hand. I accepted it. I didn't know why...but it was a means of support. At least I believed.

"I don't want to be your woman, this is wrong. You're married" my chest was moving up and down and I could not control myself again.

"I'm not married" he muttered, I was shocked, I've always seen him wearing a ring. Liar...he was lying to me.

"Stop lying" I yelled, almost losing it. I prayed he would get to my hostel quickly so I could just enter my room to rest.

"I don't lie" he frowned, "This ring belongs to someone special to me" he revealed. I clenched my fist.

"Can't I be the only? What if that special person comes back? Are you throwing me away?" I raised my voice. I was losing it.

"I will never leave you for this person" he chuckled.

"Who's this person? Your past lover? Your childhood friend or childhood lover?" My heart was about to burst from my chest.

This wasn't a good feeling, but I was losing it. That amused smile on his perfect face was enough to drive me insane.

"My daughter gave it to me for my birthday," he smiled, his fingers brushing the ring resting perfectly on his hand.

For a moment I couldn't breathe.

"Daughter?"

Daughter?

Allegra's pov:

"Daughter?" I whispered, that word tasted bitter in my mouth.

He let out a cute smile showing his perfect white teeth, I've never seen him smile this wide before.

He turned on the ignition, the shattering sound of my breaking heart was loud.

"You'll love her when you meet her," he said.

I'm not ready for her and I'm not going to be a stepmom at twenty.

I tried to imagine the little girl's face in my head, will she call me mom? Will she send me away?

"Oh no you can't be thinking of being a stepmom Allegra" I scolded myself.

He drove inside my dormitory's packing lot and packed the car.

"Should I walk you in?" He looked very concerned.

"No need" I faked a smile. I can't explain to Fiorella who he is.

"Okay" he muttered, a deadly smirk resting on his handsome face.

I entered my hostel. As I turned the doorknob a perfume bottle almost hit my face but thanks to my reflex.

"You asshole," Fiorella screamed. "I'm sorry" I Laughed.

"That smell ...Did you fuck someone" she raised a brow, I quickly looked away.

"I'm not a hoe" I hissed. She smacked her lips.

"Who's this guy? Is he tall? Hot?" She snatched my phone from me to check for his number but I snatched it back.

"None of your business" I got up to take a shower.

How do I explain to Fiorella that this man is a father? And I'll be someone's step mother?

"Ohhh, well I'm going home for the weekend. It's mom's birthday on Saturday" Fiorella yelled from the room.

Her parents divorced when she was five and she's planning to bring them back together.

Santino's pov:

I drove back to the company with thoughts of Allegra shutting out my sense of reasoning.

"Hmmm...go deeper. Harder..." she pulled my butt making me go deeper.

"Ahhhhh" I groaned loudly. I closed my eyes and breathed heavily.

Pulled into my company's parking lot, stayed inside my car for a few minutes to calm myself down.

I hopped out of my car and met the person I never wanted to see. The woman that almost ruined my life.

"I'm back to Italy" she smiled. That smile that deceived me, that ruined my life years ago. That dangerous and fake smile.

"Sort yourself out" I clenched my fist as those words flowed out of my mouth.

"I'm here to see my daughter" she moved closer to me but I took steps back.

"Don't think of her again. That daughter you abandoned. You don't deserve to be called her mother" I yelled, my body was trembling.

Our daughter wanted her mother so much. She wanted a happy family like any other little girl out there but she ruined it.

"Why? She's my daughter and you won't keep her from me" Ginerra yelled. Her eyes welled up in tears. God knows I want to hug her so bad.

I let out a sigh "Just leave. Go back to the states. Our daughter will be fine without you" I said calmly. That's the only way to talk to Ginerra. I don't want her around my daughter.

She moved closer to me and wrapped her hands around me. "I've missed you. Stop pushing me away" she let her tears flowed freely.

She hugged me tighter, I closed my eyes, breathing her scent in.

"What do you want?" I asked calmly. I still can't control myself around her. I still feel vulnerable around her.

I pulled her closer and wiped her tears. I never want to see her cry.

Allegra's pov:

I squealed, turning around for Fiorella to compliment my dress.

"Are you going to seduce my father?" She raised a brow. I rolled my eyes.

"Of course not. I'm not into old men" I mocked. She laughed.

Fiorella wore a black short and a white crop basic top with knee length heeled boots.

I wore a black satin mini dress with a draped neckline and adjustable spaghetti straps. The dress features ruching along the sideline and a cinched waist, creating a flattering and figure hugging silhouette.

My wavy jet black shoulder length hair, was let loose. I picked up my clutch purse.

Well anyone would think I'm a rich CEO, my mom is a struggling single mother.

"Are you sure your crush won't be there?" Fiorella asked. "I'm the birthday girl's daughter. You're doing too much" she laughed.

"Ohhh...I might find my soul mate there" I giggled. We walked out of our dormitory. I loved the attention I was getting from men around me.

"You're the center of attraction". My friend praised me, she was happy about the attention I was getting.

Her driver pulled up at the parking lot and we entered the car.

"I'm really nervous," Fiorella closed her eyes. I held her hands, her palms were sweaty.

I understood what she was going through. I understood how much she missed and loved her mom.

I knew how much she wanted her parents back together. I hugged her trembling body.

"I'll help you bring your parents back together, I promised" I whispered to her. She let out her emotions and cried.

That was the only thing I could do for her. Help her bring her parents back together.

Fiorella stood by me when other kids bullied me. She deserves happiness too.

The car pulled up in a mansion painted white. We entered the mansion and the driver drove through vine trees.

"Wow, this is beautiful" I closed my eyes feeling the the cool weather and fresh breeze from the vine trees.

The driver stopped the car close to a beautiful garden filled with flowers. "We're here ma'am" he bowed.

Fiorella and I jumped out of the door smiling. "This is so beautiful, I never knew your dad had rich taste" I was complimenting but noticed she was lost.

"Are you good?" I asked her and traced her gaze. I saw a woman setting the table. She wore a yellow sundress with flowery designs. Her hair was packed in a ponytail.

"Mom" her eyes welled up in tears as she went to hug her mom. I stood with tears in my eyes. Fiorella always talked about how beautiful her mom was.

I could see where she got her beauty from. I walked closer to her and her mom.

"Is she your friend?" Her mom questioned pointing her me.

"She's Allegra, my best friend" Fiorella introduced.

"Nice to meet you ma'am. Fiorella said a lot of beautiful things about you" I complimented. She smiled, her smile was beautiful.

"Ohhh dad" Fiorella turned and went to hug her dad ...wait!

"What is he doing here?"

"Daddy, that's my bestie I told you about" Fiorella introduced.

"Now, I get it. Fiorella Gardino and Santino Gardino" I pulled the string together.

How come I never thought of it?

I'm fucking my bestie's father.

Allegra's pov

I stood fixed. My eyes couldn't have deceived me. Did he follow me here?

"Dad, this is Allegra my bestie I always talked about" Fiorella introduced.

"Did she just say dad?" I moved back a bit my body trembling. I remembered the promise I made to Fiorella...

"I believe your parents will sort out their issues" I consoled Fiorella.

"No, dad has another woman" Fiorella screamed. I closed the door not to attract attention.

"You can't say that. Your parents will get back together. I will make sure of that" I said firmly.

"That woman is preventing dad from working things out with mom, I'll kill her when I see her" Fiorella screamed throwing and smashing her phone.

I held her tightly and hugged her trembling body. She's been sad for a very long time and I understand she's trying to have a happy family.

"I'll take care of this third woman and bring your parents back together" I promised her.

I let out a laugh of mockery, so I was the other woman all along. I was the obstacle ruining fiorella's parents.

I looked at Santino, his eyes filled with love when he saw his daughter's happy face.

Foolish me!

I was learning how to be a step mom. But I can't anymore. I loved him.

I could feel santino's eyes savouring my body silently.

Ginerra's pov

I saw the shock in Allegra's eyes and smirked.

USA, New York City

"So you mean Santino moved on this time?" I trembled. I thought he loved me and would not move on.

He would always fly to New York city every week and I knew it was to spy on me because he missed me but suddenly he stopped.

So he moved on and he's moving with another chick?

"Send all her informations to me now, I need to know that girl" I bit my nails angrily.

My body shook violently.

Beep

I clicked on the message immediately to check about this girl.

Lo!

Santino moved on with a twenty years old girl? He dumped me for a college girl? The anger in me suddenly started boiling at 102 degree.

But something caught my attention. The girl attend same school as my daughter and she has a best friend...Fiorella?

"Did Fiorella linked her bestie up with her father?" I felt like strangling her. How dare you?

I dialed fiorella's number. I swallowed my anger when she picked my call.

"Hello mommy" I could feel the happiness in her voice. I almost cried, I wanted to hug her so bad and tell her that her mom was not an angel like she thought.

"Mom's birthday is coming soon" I said suddenly. I was too sad to speak. I hurt my girl. And I'm in pain.

"I told dad to hold a party at the mansion for you this year again, I hope you won't miss it" she requested.

She never skipped hosting a birthday party for me at the mansion each year but I never attended. I knew how sad she was all the time I missed the party.

I wiped the tears welling up in my eyes. This year I'm making a difference not because of my daughter but to deal with that little girl holding Santino.

"I'll come this year Fiorella" I muttered gently. My heart beating fast. I heard her screamed in joy but I knew I wasn't coming for her.

"Come with your bestie too" I said. At least I have to keep her at arm length to be able to deal with her.

"Really? I'll tell her right away. Believe me mom, she's the nicest girl you'll meet on this earth" Fiorella complimented her friend.

I let out a mocking laugh after I hung up, nicest girl indeed, that's why Santino is not ready to leave her.

"Let's have dinner, I believe you're hungry" I called everyone's attention. I walked towards Santino and hugged him tightly.

I could feel daggars behind me and I knew who they were coming from.

"Your little girl will be jealous" I whispered and I could feel his body tense. I like this drama today.

"At least she's not leaving me like you" he mocked. I clenched my fist tightly. Santino had never supported any woman except me.

"I wonder how Fiorella would react when she finds out" I pulled away from him and faced the guests.

"I feel so honoured, thanks so much everyone" I bowed.

"Mom, Allegra and I wants to sing you a birthday song" Fiorella giggled happily.

I let out a sigh of bitterness. I couldn't be the best mom for my little princess.

"I'm tired Fiorella, I want to use the bathroom" Allegra stood up.

"Are you angry about something? I've I done anything wrong?" My voice trembled.

"What happened Allegra" Fiorella looked worried.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I just want to use the bathroom" she muttered quietly. Fiorella pointed at a direction to her. She walked gawkerly towards the direction.

"I have some things to sort out" Santino walked out of the garden.

"I told you, your dad hates me" I muttered to Fiorella. I could see tears welled up in her eyes.

Allegra's pov

I entered the bathroom and sat on the sink. I let out the tears.

I could see the distance in his eyes, he acted like he has never seen me before. Like he didn't tell me I was the only one.

He hugged another woman without caring about me. I pinched myself, I have to leave him.

I think this will make it easier for me to leave him. I've been holding back but this is the best opportunity.

"Why are you crying" I questioned myself. I went to the sink and washed my face.

The door knob turned but I ignored it, "Don't tell me you cried?" His deep voice startled me.

"Why are you here?" I raised a brow. He moved closer to me.

"I'm sorry" he apologized. He rested his back on the wall, folding his hands and looking at me quietly.

"Don't talk to me" I tried to wipe my tears. "I'm keeping her close for fiorella's sake" he explained.

I felt good somehow but it was suppose to be a bad feeling. Fiorella wants them together but her dad isn't helping, so I wasn't the problem after all.

I was accused, Fiorella thought her dad was pushing her mom away because of the other woman which is me...

"Fiorella won't like this" I managed to say. Preventing myself from smiling.

"Ginerra is not who you think she is" Santino muttered and moved close to me.

I moved back a bit gulping hard. "She never loved Fiorella" Santino revealed.

"Hmmm" I almost choked

Ginerra never loved Fiorella?

But ... I looked at Santino...he wouldn't lie to me right?
