"Mr. Valentino!" she swallowed hard under his intense gaze. "I have to get home. My children are waiting for me."

Alessandro's expression softened slightly at the mention of her children.

"I'll arrange for them to come here and live comfortably," he offered without hesitation.

"No!" Mia gasped, her voice trembling.

She didn't want him to meet her children. Hell, she was more worried about her genius twins. They were smarter than anyone could imagine and would sense something was amiss immediately. Explaining everything to them would be impossible. She couldn't lie to her children, but the truth would be too painful for their young minds.

"They can't come here," she blurted out impulsively.

"Why?!" Alessandro frowned, his grip tightening.

"Why would we live here with you, Mr. Valentino?" Mia shot back, twisting her wrist in a futile attempt to free herself from the Italian don's iron grip.

"I would love for you all to live here. The apartment is very spacious," Alessandro reasoned. calmly.

"No, thanks. We have our own big house and are happy where we are. So if you'll let me go, I'll take my leave," Mia glared at him, annoyance flashing in her ev

"Please, Miss Peterson. I still don't feel well. What if you leave and something happens me?" Alessandro's voice dripped with emotional blackmail, making Mia roll her eyes.

"After all, I got hurt because of you," he added with a pout.

Mia's head spun-did she really see the big bad mafia king pouting at her? It felt like witnessing the eighth wonder of the world, a breaking news story in itself. The deadly, ruthless Alessandro Valentino could be so cute-who would have thought? Hell, no one would believe her if she told them.

When he heard about Mia's assistant, he expected a plain, boring woman who also looked ifter the interior designer's children in her spare time. Instead, he was surprised to find that Emily Yang was a very attractive and sexy woman. Matteo felt a stir in his pants and cursed inder his breath. He was not here to get laid but to convey the mafia king's message. However, the way his mouth went dry as Emily looked at him with her chocolate-brown made him feel a sudden, urgent need he wasn't expecting.
