My frown deepened, unable to understand where that came from. I tried to change the topic to something that had to do with me a bit, or so I thought. “I was actually hoping Nikolai would have some answers about last night. You had me block and delete his number, I would have called him–”“Glad I di
Chapter 85RUSSEL ~~~°~~~I stormed out of the house, unable to understand the reason for the rage that was brewing inside me. Trust old ladies to fuck up your day, as if fucking up your entire existence was not enough. Allesia’s mother was knocking on death’s door if she imagined she would force h
I slumped back in my seat, rubbing a hand against my forehead in exasperation, “What do you say?”Kegan stood up, “You know what to do, Russel. We need to get to Sergio before Logan does, and we kill them both.” He sighed, “Call Vincenzo and let him know that Iverson is no longer just an old foe, he
In thirty minutes, I was honking at Nikolai’s gate. His men had no choice than to let me in when they saw that it was me, or maybe the grenade did the trick. Just a throw over the fence and it would be Kaboom! It was nothing I had not done to Nikolai before, so they knew better than to keep me out.
Chapter 86RUSSEL~~~°~~~Nikolai's revelation was cut off by the sudden buzzing of my phone. When I checked, it was Kegan.“What's up?” I asked, my eyes darting back to Nikolai, who returned my stare with an obvious frown.“I need you back right away,” Kegan replied urgently.I rose from the bed sw
“Who are we even talking about?” I asked, even if I already knew the answer.“I was never told he had a family and I didn't think to check. Only a bunch of men were there and it was no task for me, so I took my sweet time torturing and relaying my anger on each of them. I even took the liberty of ta
Chapter 87ALLESIA~~~°~~~⚠️ A BIT TRIGGERING⚠️I was startled awake by a sudden noise, or so I thought. Shooting into a sitting position, I absentmindedly rubbed my hands over my eyes as I scanned the room, a desperate attempt to get my brain to register my surroundings. My mother was lying besid
Russel stood there, with his back against me, the darkness emanating from him enough to tell me all I needed to know. Maybe if this was three weeks ago, I would have run off in the opposite direction. But having grown to learn that he was not always a monster, he just let that side of him show when

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,
