utumn groaned and tossed on the bed, it was umpteenth time that she had tossed on the bed. She was unconsciously thinking about her and Alessandro and it was not letting her having a sweet sleep, her eyes has turned red and she had rubbed them multiple times.

'I should leave the bed' she realized that she has stayed in the room for a whole day and had not met the twins as well, which might be disturbing her, hence she placed her bare foot on the imported tiled floor and stood up from the bed. Her plan was to go to the garden and walk slowly may be it could help her in clearing her mind.

Thinking about it she slowly opened the door and came out making sure to not cause any noise disrupting the silence of the floor. Tip toeing on her bare foot she cascades down the stairs until she reached to the ground floor. However, when she passed in front of the kitchen she felt thirsty and decided to have a glass of cold water before going in to the garden.

While she was sipping on the cold water staring on the walls in dim light, when she was startled by the loud thudding sound, she quickly covered her mouth.

'Could it be that, thieves have entered in to the house?' she mumbled to herself, but soon slammed hand on her forehead.

'Who would dare to enter in a mafia person's house' snorting she commented on her own thought, meanwhile she was thinking on this, another loud voice echoed in the silence and Autumn bit her lip in fear, for once she thought to run up stair and hide in her room or wake Alessandro up and tell him of thieves inside the house.

Giving an internal nod to her idea she walked out of the kitchen as quite as it was possible for her when another bang was heard and her breath hitched, however, when she placed her foot on the first step of the stairs, her gaze falls on the half opened door of the room behind the stairs and she squinted her eyes.

'Could it really be thieves?' she murmured again but quickly shrugged of her thoughts.

'Seeing the number of guards that surround the villa, it is totally impossible for anyone to jump over the wall around' she was talking to herself quietly and soon her curiosity pique and she turned on her heels to go to the half opened room instead of her.

Her lips parted in shock when she pushed the door and found none other than Alessandro standing in the middle of the room and was punching on the bag, she could anticipate that he is doing this activity for a while now as his knuckles were bleeding and he was panting loudly with his mouth open wide gasping for the air to reach to his lungs.

What her eyes caught immediately hit the soft spot of her heart and she rushed towards him holding his hand in her grasp.

'Have you gone mad?' she yelled at him coming in between him and punching bag.

Alessandro abruptly stopped and fixed his gaze on her, neither saying anything nor doing any movement, just blinked his eyes and kept looking at her weary face and puffy eyes, and when realization hit him, he pressed his lips tightly. 'I need to get off of the anger and pain otherwise I will do something which I shouldn't be doing' coming back in to his senses he ushered her on the side and got in stance, ready to hit another punch.

'Pain? anger?' Autumn asked to him with gritted teeth.

'Yes, the pain that you have given to me, and anger on myself that why I am so helpless when it comes about you' he punched hardly on the bad and the stitching torn, sand inside the bad was slipping out slowly. Autumn glanced at the condition of the punching bag and looked back at the man with sadness and disappointment.

'I gave you the pain? What are you saying Alessandro? I did not do anything. Instead you are the one who had shattered my heart in to pieces that after spending a whole day I am still unable to figure out how to mend it' her emotions exploded.

'You are just over reacting about the fact Autumn, there is nothing wrong with being a mafia. Can't you see the money I have? It is not because I own Martini group, thanks to my mafia business that I am so rich' Autumn clenched her jaw. 'What had you took me huh? Am I a gold digger?' the sudden rage was beyond her control not that she wanted to holdup.

'Why you always have to misunderstood me' he placed his hand on hers that was holding his collar. The complaint was obvious, Autumn chuckled bitterly.

'That's because you had not understood me yet completely, if you had, the situation today was different' Alessandro locked his green orbs with her browns, the intense was too tensed that for a moment Autumn felt like he was piercing through her eyes, her hand shook under his warm hold.

The blood on his knuckles was now drying up, none of them care though.

'I have not misunderstood you Autumn, nor my love is fake for you' he whispered to her and her vision blurred.

'You are lying' she refused to accept. A sad and helpless smile made its way on her sweated face.

'Can't you just trust me blindly for once? Despite who I am, how I am and why I am like that?' Autumn sniffed and rubbed her eyes, wiping off tears from her cheeks, her already red eyes had turned darker shade of red. Alessandro cursed himself for being the source of pain for the love of his life.

'I tried too, but you failed' she bit her lip, after being bit number of times, that had many tiny cuts which are going to sting in the morning but for now she doesn't care.

'Why? I haven't done anything that had broken your trust Autumn' tightening his hold around her arms, he shook her hardly in his grasp demanding an explanation from her.

'Why you did not tell me in the beginning that you are in mafia' she yelled at him, her nerves were aching now.

'What difference does it make? Before or now. Your reaction had made me regret on my decision of telling you the truth' Autumn's mouth opened in shock and he could clearly see the pain in her eyes, he exhaled an exasperated sigh and quietly wrapped his arms around her, engulfing her in his warm hold.

'Shush! Calm down. I am here' Autumn squirmed and tried to break his cage however, he just tightened his hands around her seeing her struggle.

'You are so so bad' failing in getting free she punched him on the chest, although it merely had any effect on him, but it helped her in releasing her emotions and soon he heard her sobbing hiding her face on his chest, his one hand moved upward and he rested his fingers in her hair moving them slowly.

She had fought with her emotions for a full day but had not win, her reaction was strong letting out all her emotions she had gone through whole day.

'I am here' he whispered softly in her ear, in response she wrapped her hands around his waist.
