ISABELLA'S POV
I sit in bed and think of the six months I've known Sydney. I only heard about Kings company but was never interested in its owners. Who knew my ex cheating on me was the best thing that ever happened to me? I went to that club and drunk then decided to get back at him by giving someone else what he wanted, my virginity. Guess I used Sydney in a way too.
I think of what happened some hours ago. The guns, grenades and blood really gave me light of what is truly Sydney's life. I should be scared. I should run away from him. But I want to do this for him. For my baby. I think of all the arguments Sydney and I have had and smile. We always get back together. I know Sydney wants to protect the baby and I and I really appreciate that but in a way I want to help him protect the three of us.
I'm I going crazy?
Spending time with Sydney has awoken these unknown emotions from m
Hearing Sydney say those words is something I've never expected. Since we met I've always ended up getting angry at him. We also have a good share of good times together. The teases, him cooking for me, the kisses and time in the cottage. Sydney has shown me a playful side of him and even shown vulnerability -something I know he doesn't show to many people. I smile at this but my smile falters when I think of Bianca."We can't raise our son in the mafia Sydney." Sydney seems disappointed when I say this. I know he wants me to tell him I like him back but I have to be sure of what I'm getting myself into. When I say the words, there'll be no turning back."I have a plan. I don't know if it'll work and I don't want you to worry about it." This piques my curiosity."You'll tell me later. Right?" I ask him and he nods."You should get some sleep. We've had a very long day." Sydney
"You have to stay in my safe house for sometime. It's two hours from here." Sydney breaks the comfortable silence at dinner. I look up."What about you? You're coming with me, right?" I ask. His face shows regret as he shakes his head. "I have to take care of things." I don't say anything. I look at him and know he has something else to tell me. He remains quiet as he eats but his mind is elsewhere."Something on your mind?" I take his hand. "I'm here for you, you know." He gives me a small smile at my words and I smile back. I squeeze his hand lightly before releasing it."I know every woman has a dream wedding." Sydney blurts out after we resume eating in silence. I turn to face him and look at him weirdly. "I know you have one too." He notices my look and lets out a frustrated sigh."I need to protect you Izzy. I need to know you're safe. I need to defeat the Italians
I wake up feeling so hot. I try to move but notice a hand, Sydney's hand pinning me to the bed next to him while laying on my round tummy making me smile. My smile widens when I remember everything from yesterday night.I look around and notice it's morning. The morning Sydney and I are supposed to wed. Sydney shifts behind me. His bare thighs brushing against me and suddenly I feel hotter than before but before any thought passes through my mind, the baby kicks making me smile."Gosh! If I get to wake up like this everyday the.... " Sydney starts but the baby kicks what I believe is my bladder. I get up frombed and head to the bathroom as fast as possible not even caring I'm naked.I emerge five minutes later after brushing my teeth . Again, naked. I find Sydney sitting at the edge of the bed looking at something in his phone. He looks up when he hears me and his eyes widen in surprise and...&nbs
Time stopped.Everything stopped."Isa..." I raised my hand to silence Sydney. I wasn't ready to listen to him. I wasn't ready to look at him. The note was scrunched up in his fist but I didn't look up.Is this Russo's plan? To break us apart on our wedding day? We're still on the road to Sydney's apartment but I've received the biggest shock of my life. I had a pathetic life because of the family I just joined. This was supposed to be my happiest day. The day I married the man I love. My mother. Oh, mother. She lost everything because of these monsters. How I'm I to look past that and live with him.I feel something touch my face snapping me back to the real world. Sydney's thumb wipes the tears I never knew I had but I move away. "Let's go and talk about this. You're stressing the baby." Sydney says."I don't want to be with you in one place. I'll
SYDNEY'S POV "Isabella and her mother just got into the Toronto safehouse." Luke, my best friend, tells me. I've sent him to take care of my wife and her mother in Toronto as I try to finish this mess once and for all. My wife. Isabella Kings. It still sounds unreal but I fucking love her name. I love her. I just have to end this once and for all then go to her and the baby.No one knows that Isabella is out of the country since Luke and I tried to make it as discreet as possible. It's part of my plan and I pray it works. I want the best life for my family. The mafia will only destroy it like it did to me. To Isabella. We killed her dad just like we killed my mum. Since then I have been trying to act on the plan I read in a book when I was six years younger. A plan that I have started by taking the first step. Isabella has already signed the merging contracts which makes it easier to manage both companies later.
ISABELLA'S POVWe just arrived two days ago in Toronto. This is the best gift Sydney has given me. Time to bond with my mother as he's away. He knows how much I want to make up for lost time with my mother and he did it before I even told him so. He also thought that having my mum here with me when I was about to give birth would be good for me. I know deep down he's scared to leave me alone incase anything happened to him and to say I'm terrified would be an understatement. The other reason Sydney sent my mum with me was for protection. The Italians could come for her and take her like they did to Harry. Harry. I still can't believe that witch Amelia would have them take him away. I don't even know if he's alive."What's wrong baby?" My mother's voice startles me. I look up and see her giving me her small smile. I try to smile back but I can't. "I just hope Harry is okay. And I kinda miss Sydney." I say but she smiles at that. She hug
I get into the black van in a trance. "What did Sydney say to you?" My mother asks when I get comfortable. "You've been out of it." She says sneakily."I love you." He told me that. He told me he loves me."Okay. You're smiling. Now I'm curious." My mum laughs and I look at her and the urge to hug her overwhelms me. I place my hands around her cheeks and bring her close to me and kiss her cheeks and she laughs. I'm just so happy that I don't know what to do. I want to scream in happiness and sing in my so bad voice. I got my voice from my dad apparently."He loves me." I laugh as a tear falls. Candice pats my back. I even forgot she's here."I never knew I'd get to see my Bella in love." My mum says as I smile. What she says hits me. I never got to say the words back. Am I in love with Sydney Kings? I think of all the times we were together. The arguments, the time in the cott
SYDNEY'S POV"Isa and her mother just got into the black van with Candice." Luke says and I breath in in relief. It's time to go find Harry and take down Marko Russo.I walk to my safe and press in 'Rose22' and it immediately clicks open. I smile as I think of my passcode. 'Rose.' It was the day I received a file on Isabella's dad. His information said he had a daughter. Isabella Rose Styles. I never told Isabella that I knew her name until they day we made love a few days ago and I moaned her middle name during our high.I take out a HK p9 that I had bought for Isabella but was yet to give it to her and load it. Look like I'll buy her another one. Isabella handles her guns so well and I loved seeing her face light up when she saw the different guns. My wife's a badass.I hear a knock breaking my thoughts before I grunt a get in. Joey and Kane get in. I take my other gun. An M
