Chapter 23 Her Knight In Shining Armour

The goons trembled and instinctively took a step away from Mia, but they quickly recovered their menacing composure.

One of them, the tallest and bulkiest who seemed to be their leader, barked, "Who the fuck has a death wish to come here and threaten Marco's gang?"

They all turned around to look at the source of the intimidating voice. Mia, still reeling from the shock, felt as if she were in a dream. Seeing him in front of her seemed like an illusion. Why on earth would Alessandro come to save her from his own goons? But she didn't have to wait long for an answer as Alessandro growled the next instant, "Who sent you to harm Mia Peterson?"

"None of your business, Don Valentino," the goon, who seemed to be Marco, sneered.

Oh, so they knew Alessandro, Mia thought. Of course, they would know him. He was the mafia king of western Italy.

"This is not your territory, and no one is going to listen to you. It's better you leave peacefully," Marco threatened, but the tremble in his voice was evident.

Mia was still confused. If they weren't Alessandro's people, then who sent them? And why was Alessandro here to save her?

Alessandro's face remained cold and unreadable as he took out his handgun. His bodyguard was with him, backing him up. "Last chance," Alessandro said icily, aiming the gun at Marco. "Who sent you to harm Mia Peterson?"

"I am not scared of you, Don Valentino," Marco laughed dryly, expecting his men to follow his lead and mock the mafia king.

But it seemed they were smarter than to follow their leader to their deaths at the hands of the mafia king.

"Alright, I'm giving you one last warning. Leave the lady alone and get out of here in two seconds, or I won't be responsible for the consequences," Alessandro warned, his tone calm and low but extremely dangerous.
