I felt his gaze on me before he replied, “Her place,” I glanced warily at him, “What?” “We are going back to your place.” he repeated in a one off tone, “Luca, drive.” Before I could even ask Luca if he knew my place, he had started the car and was already driving off. The rest of the rid
His eyes narrowed, then he clenched his jaw, “That’s the problem, I can't let you go, Allesia. Not now, not ever.” “Why not?” I demanded, my anger bubbling to the surface, “Because you want control, you want my undying obedience? I can't give you that, Russel. And before you ask again, I will not
Chapter 112 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ She agreed! I pulled her to myself and gently brushed my lips against hers, then I drew back slowly, searching her eyes for something– maybe a permission or a fire that would match the hunger that was blazing through me. It was there, and she didn't only nod her
My hands roamed her back, feeling the curve of her spine, the softness of her skin through the thin fabric of the dress. Her body pressed against mine, fitting perfectly, like she was made for me. I pulled back slightly, my lips hovering over hers, “I love you, Allesia," I whispered against her li
I lifted the gown up and she sat forward as I slid it off her head, gently tossing it aside. Thankfully, she had nothing underneath, just a soft beautiful body that I was dying to feel. My lips traced a pattern on her belly, the heat from her skin and the way she arched up just to press my head down
Chapter 113 ALLESIA ~~~~~ I stirred awake, feeling the warmth of the morning sun streaming through the window. As my eyes fluttered open, I found Russel watching me with a dreamy smile, his gaze tender and filled with an emotion I had never seen before. “Good morning,” he whispered, his voi
“I didn’t mean it that way,” he offered, “Come on, wipe that silly look off your face.” “I thought you had changed!” I hissed accusingly. “Exactly,” he replied between chuckles, then his face turned serious, “So, it might take a while to adjust from my natural element, but I’ll try.” I look
Chapter 114 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ I stood there for three minutes with my heart pounding loudly against my ribcage. The house was eerily quiet, so much that I could hear Russel's footsteps even though he was tiptoeing. That, coupled with my racing heartbeat, made me run out of the room as soon as I

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,
