Russel scoffed, “That’s sad, because I was really hoping I won’t have to do this the wrong way.” “What do you mean?” His eyes remained on me for the longest moment before he finally shrugged, “Remember what I told you that morning after our first time in your small apartment?” A small brush
Chapter 123 ALLESIA ~~~°~~~ “You can't just leave him here,” I hissed, snatching my hand from him grip, “This is a fucking cemetery and you just tried to kill my friend.” “Your friend,” He repeated with a scoff, “Actually, I can leave him.” “Then I'm not coming with you.” “Don't make me carry
He was out of the car in a flash, slamming the door behind him and rounding the vehicle to stand in front of me. I flinched, the intensity in his eyes scaring me for a minute. He leaned in and whispered in a low growl, “Don’t threaten me, angel. You know just how much it turns me on,” I squared m
Chapter 124 ALLESIA ~~~•~~~ Russel’s smile grew darker as he watched my reaction. He took a slow sip of his brandy, clearly enjoying my discomfort. “You see,” he began, “You may try to convince yourself that you hate me, which is very ridiculous because I didn't even do anything to merit your ha
“I didn't kill her, Allesia.” “Then what did you do to her?” “Nothing,” Our eyes met, and he rolled his eyes, “Fine, I was going to do something to her, but believe me, she was already gone before I got there.” “Then Nikolai did?” “He didn't.” I stood up, “So much for communication, huh?” “All
Chapter 125 RUSSEL ~~~0~~~ For one hellish week, Allesia has kept herself perfectly tucked away from my view. She did a very good job at avoiding me, locking herself up in her room whenever I was around. Even at breakfasts and dinners, she was always the last to arrive at the table and the first
“In your fucking dreams,” I retorted. Nikolai sighed, “What do you want?” “You asked for my forgiveness. What if I tell you there’s a way you can earn it?” Nikolai frowned. “It’s not like I’m not busy enough with my new position as it is, Matteo had everything turned upside down for the last thir
I was cool with her job, provided she was not doing it with Nolan because the stupid boy made her do the weirdest shit, simply for his own fantasy, and she was simply too blind to see it. Nolan was only marking his time, patiently waiting for an opportunity to shoot his shot or sleep with her—even t

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,
