I gently shrugged Russel's hands off, giving him a gentle nod before stepping closer to Nikolai, “I understand you are worried, and thank you,” I looked back and my eyes met Russel's, his eyes were dark green now, evidence of his brooding anger. “But you must understand that I love him, Nik,” My voi
Chapter 115 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ After dropping Allesia off, Nikolai and I headed back to Spines Square. The drive was silent, even though Nikolai’s eyes flickered to me occasionally, but he didn’t press for conversation and I appreciated that because my mind was already in a world of its own and I
“Nobody wants it now,” She hissed, “Not when it's obviously forced.” “What can I do to make things right then?” I asked softly, “I need my sweet, loving Mel back, certainly not with this ugly bitchy attitude.” “Ugly?!” “That came out wrong,” I said with a light grin, enjoying the horrified l
Chapter 116 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ Control. It was something I had carefully crafted my world around, I always had to be in control– of every situation, of everyone. I tapped the sole of my sharply Polished Mac Lui, which Allesia had gifted me two days ago, slowly on the shiny floor. This place was a w
“Mind your own damn business,” I hissed, “This is why I hate when you drive because then I have to sit in the front with you.” Kegan rolled his eyes, but his voice turned serious, “How is it going with her, though?” “Perfect,” I replied in one word. He nodded, watching me through the mirror, “Yo
“Good eyes you still got, I see.” Ignacio let out a proud chuckle, “How do you think I was able to get into your family all those years ago, Boy?” He spat, “Good eyes, it always helps.” I clenched my fists, somehow hearing him gloat had a way to make me want to forget everything I had carefully p
Chapter 117 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ Today, I finished from work early and decided to surprise Russel by showing up at his place for the date he had fixed. Nikolai called earlier, asking if he should pick me up, but I let him in on the secret that I would be heading to Spines Square as soon as I finished
“You could have at least disarmed him,” Kegan was saying. I heard Russel scoff, his tone laced with agitation, “Did you see him at all?” He hissed, “The man was a walking dead, his insides were fucking rotting! One more gunshot wound or the slightest beating and he would have died. And you know how

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,
