“And you thought you could as well share in that dark aura, huh? Why? Do I look so innocent, so pure, so soft, so gentle, kind, weak perhaps? You thought I wouldn't be able to protect you, didn't you? That I didn't look rich enough to satisfy your greed?” His anger was a wall between us, impenetrabl
The only two men I had ever been involved with in my life knew each other, and they were both in the mafia, the same Outfits, if I wasn't mistaken. But at the same time, they hated each other, so much that you could hear the hatred in their voices when they spoke of each other. And yet they dined o
Chapter 51 ALLESIA TWENTY MINUTES LATER ~~~~~ I dragged my feet sluggishly through the hall towards Russel's office with my mind racing in different directions. God help me, I was tired and pissed. I tried to keep the thoughts away, to focus only on what he might do to me, but how could I,
She didn't even try covering her body with the night gown, instead she let it flow behind her like the wings of an angel. If looks could kill, I'm sure she would have been dead by now because I gave her a look, daring her to come near me. When she reached Russel, she stood behind him and trailed he
Chapter 52 ALLESIA That night, I walked back to my room traumatized beyond words. By the time I reached my door, my hand was trembling so violently I could barely turn the knob. Once inside, I locked the door—all three locks—and slid down against it until I hit the floor. The room spun arou
Dawn was breaking outside my window, pale light filtering through the curtains. I had survived the night, but I didn't feel any better for it. If anything, the stark light of day made everything more real, more undeniable. My phone showed twelve missed calls from Renzo and five from Elletra. I cou
Chapter 53 RUSSEL It was too early to be drinking, but I needed something to take the edge off. She was stubborn, dauntless, so fucking disrespectful. My eyes remained fixed on the documents in front of me, but my mind was anywhere but there. The anger simmered within me, just as it did last nig

I watched as Vincenzo Mancini stepped down from the private jet. Dressed in a sleek, custom-tailored Italian suit, he took a minute to adjust his tie and cufflinks. The handsome bastard, I thought with a proud grin, ever so cold. It was past 10PM, but Vincenzo had no intentions of staying the nig
I watched her for a moment, marveling at her glow and beauty, which just kept increasing like her bump every day. She looked radiant, even more so with the big swell of her belly showing. Her staff saw me first because they slowly began to disperse; all of them knew how protective I was of my wife
EPILOGUE RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ I stood perfectly still, my thoughts reeling as I waited in the quiet hall of the warehouse. During my absence, Stacy had refused to speak, see, or let anyone touch her. Even Kegan, who was supposed to order a pregnancy test done for her by now, couldn’t do that because
I reached out and touched his face, “I have the perfect man, and I wish to keep everything around us perfect.” After a while, Russel turned to me with a mischievous smile. “You know, we still have some time before we have to go back.” I raised an eyebrow. “What are you suggesting?” He leaned in,
Russel released a shaky breath, his eyes slowly meeting mine. “Nolan killed the fucking detective you went to,” his voice was strained, barely audible. “He wanted to frame me for it, wanted you to hate me, so when that didn't work out, he went to Stacy for help.” “So you took him out.” His hands c
Chapter 165 ALLESIA ~~~°°~~~ Three wonderful weeks on this island, as much as we enjoyed the bliss, we couldn't stay forever. Tomorrow morning, we'll have to return to our life in Sicily. Kegan handled things in Russel’s absence up until the second week, allowing us undivided time to enjoy our h
Everywhere his finger bared, he pressed his lips there. “You’re so fucking gorgeous,” he murmured against my skin, “My wife.” “My husband.” it came out in a low moan, “How did I not know I’ll never be able to move on from you after that first time?” Russel grinned, “You were the most helpless,
