I stood still, unsure whether it was just my ears or the voice was actually who I thought it was. I took a few steps towards him, because his hair was almost covering all parts of his face. When I was just two steps away from him, he raised his head and stared pointedly at me. “Nikolai?!” I exclai
After finishing the bottle of water, I helped myself to a pack of fruit juice I found in the fridge, then I took a long, hot bath and dressed up in another one of Nikolai’s white shirts. God knows what's with them and being addicted to a particular style and color of clothes, I thought as I wore a n
Chapter 98 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ I sat across from Ignacio and Stacy at the dining table, picking steadily at my food while absentmindedly listening on Stacy's tantrums with her father. Her voice had become more like a persistent bug in my ear, or a bad music from a broken radio on a rainy day that w
My phone buzzed and I glanced at it, both of them noticed too and their eyes followed my hands to it. It was the call I was expecting, but I didn't bother picking up. Instead, I waited for the second ring and when Stacy's prying eyes became unbearable, I flipped the phone and distracted us all by po
She purred, “All my father is saying is that you can do everything from here, baby,” her lips quivered slightly, “I mean, you've been here for the last two weeks and you've loved it so far.” Have I? Just then, Ignacio's chief security guy hurried into the hall, a phone pressed against his ears a
Chapter 99 ALLESIA ~~~^~~~ Two days had passed since Nikolai delivered the chilling news about Russel's fiancée and her family's intentions. Yet, I found myself still paralyzed by indecision, unable to muster the courage to reach out to Russel like Nikolai suggested. I couldn't even return ho
I scoffed, eyeing him cautiously, “Then this has not been the same pattern with all of his previous submissives?” Nikolai grinned despite himself, “You think he kills them?” “I want to know why my case is different!” Nikolai's gaze swept over me for the longest moment, his eyes lingering lon
“Fine,” Nikolai sighed, taking a seat himself, “Where do I start?” “From the beginning. Leave out no details.” I felt a mix of emotions as Nikolai explained everything he knew about Russel and his relationship with the Salvatores. And there, for the first time, I got to really know about Selina

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,
