Chapter 55RUSSEL We drove out of the estate in a fit, Vincenzo had silently left the table with us, Kegan was driving, Dylan sat beside him in the front while I sat behind with Vincenzo. Thankfully, neither of them said anything about the breakfast as we drove. We continued in silence for a while
Dylan particularly was not wearing a seat belt, so when the car came to an abrupt halt just inches away from falling off the edge, his head collided on the windshield with a force that had him bleeding instantly. He flew out of the car, rushed over to Kegan's side, pushed the door open and all but d
“Well, detective, I suppose your job is to determine why there's a body in front of my company.” The man, whose face portrayed a strict uptight officer with years of experience cracked a smile, “That is what I hope to do, Mr. Mancini. Come, see if you can identify her.” I scoffed, “What makes you
Chapter 56ALLESIA I'd never been around so much tension in my life, certainly not with my three-man nuclear family. Russel, I realize, had a very large family which consisted of people with different personalities and perception of the world. But they all shared one thing in common– they were all
She waved me aside and sank into the bed, “Come, let's eat together.” I frowned, “Are you sure? Not sure what your mum would say about that.” Melissa rolled her eyes, “She's gone. So sit and stop acting like a scared kiddo.” I sat and we ate the cold breakfast in silence. Melissa was nice, and I
In fact, that dark aura I sensed on him on our first meeting was all over him right now, and the way he kept his hands on the holster of his gun, which was perfectly concealed around his belt, showed he was wary of something. One could not easily tell at first glance that he had a gun there, not ev
Chapter 57 ALLESIA It took over twenty minutes for the officers to come out of the house with Luca and two of Russel's men trailing them. On sighting them, I noticed that Russel raised a questioning brow and the first thing Luca did was to give him a reassuring nod, which seemed to calm him a bit
I stole a glance at Russel, wishing that he would say something to save me from the situation, but his usual confident demeanor was nowhere to be found. His hands were clenched into fists, and his jaw was set in a rigid line. I could see the beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, despite the coo

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,
