Tatiana POV

Waking up the next morning, taking a shower, getting out I noticed the bruise on my face hadn't gotten any better. Putting on the shirt dress, I made my way to the kitchen, "morning" I greet, "morning, I thought you would take a day off" she says, "no I'm perfectly fine" I smile, nodding her head I helped her with breakfast, serving Alexander his.

Eating on the table with her, "I thought we should get you some clothes today" Elizabeth says, narrowing my eyes at her, "don't worry I have money" she smiles, nodding my head, "who do the ones I always wear belong to anyway?" I ask curious, a frown appears on her face, "my daughter" she says with a sad smile appearing on her face, "she died years ago, she was around your age when she died" she says, feeling bad, "oh Elizabeth I'm so sorry" I say sadly, shrugging "oh it's fine, it was years ago" she smiles genuinely. Nodding my head Alexander walks in the kitchen, "Alex, I decided to take Tatiana shopping for some clothes today" she says, narrowing his eyes at me, "I promise she won't try anything, right Tatiana?" She looks at me pleadingly, "I promise"I say genuinely, he already made it clear what will happen if I do, nodding his head. He made his way out. After breakfast we cleaned up as fast as we could.

Getting dressed I let my hair down hiding the bruise on my face. Getting out the drivers were already waiting for us, getting in the car we drove off. Learning more about Elizabeth and Alexander's relationship, turns out the two met on the streets. Right after she lost her daughter she was walking to her apartment when two men tried to rob her at knife point, Alexander stepped in, fighting off the men without a weapon getting him stabbed in the process but he still wouldn't back off till the men ran off, afterwards she started taking care of him, giving him food and giving him a place to stay whenever it was cold. He disappeared for a few years she even thought he was dead, coming back later on begging her to come stay with him, she agreed under the condition that she would start taking care of him. Walking around, buying some dresses, accessories, shoes, jeans and even sweats. Sitting down having lunch, "don't you think he's too hard sometimes" I reluctantly asked about Alexander, "oh sweetheart, I know it's hard understand it, Alexander is a person with a lot of hurt in his heart, but he can be really sweet and caring when he wants" she says genuinely, "oh he's caring alright" I motion to the bruise on my face, "I apologize for him, he feels terrible, I know it" she says sadly, nodding my head we continued having our lunch talking about the city. After the amazing time with Elizabeth we decided to head back to the house, finding Alexander and Natalia seated, "Who the hell do you think prepared our dinner" She snarls, "Non lavoro né rispondo a te Natalia" (I don't work nor answer to you Natalia) Elizabeth snaps, glaring at me and Elizabeth, we get out the room, "don't worry we don't have to cook, I already texted Alexander on the way to tell him we won't be cooking today and he understood" she smiles, nodding my head. I went into my room, taking a shower and changing into some pjs, maybe I should go to the movie room. Making my way to the movie room I bump into Natalia, trying to walk past her she stops me in my tracks, "I know whores like yourself, so just know I'm watching you" she says, anger in her voice, "well it takes one to know one" I snap, a sarcastic laugh escapes her mouth, "you not Alexander's type, so don't even try to force it, LITTLE GIRL" she emphasizes, eyeing me from top to bottom before walking away, rolling my eyes as I silently imitate her, I make my way to the movie room. Finding the huge screen along with the remote, I begin scrolling through the movies he has, he literally had all kinds, finding The Godfather I decide on it, grabbing a blanket, placing it on my legs, the movie began. In the middle of the movie, hearing the door creek I look over, seeing it's Alexander, I go back to the movie. Walking in closing the door, my heart rate increases after taking a seat besides me, getting up from my seat he grabs my hand, looking down at his hand on mine, "what are you doing" he questions, "leaving, what does it look like I'm doing" I say, "why" he raises his brow, "why not, or you going to hit me again and force me to sit with you this time" I say, anger dripping from my voice, I will never forget what Alexander did to me, I know men like him, I lived with him my whole life, releasing my hand, I leave the room immediately making my way to my bedroom. Getting in, I immediately got under the covers, crying myself to sleep. I really want to get out of here, I think to myself.

Alexander POV

Thoughts of her clouded my mind. She was seriously thin, but even with all the bruises she is extremely gorgeous. Her small pearly white teeth, her long blond hair along with her strikingly round green eyes. I liked that they were green, they stood out with her pale complexion, somehow the thought of her had my cock stirring. Get it together Alessandro, she's nothing but a whore you found I scold myself.
