When he ended the call, his eyes trailed to the bed where I was still balled up. His earlier frown was quickly replaced by a smile which I returned immediately, blowing him a kiss. He hesitantly dragged his eyes away and dialed another number, Kegan’s, and they went on to talk for another ten min
Chapter 135 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ Yesterday, I had a comfortable place to work in. Not everyone knew I had any connection with the intimidating mafia boss, Russel, who so happened to be their boss’s boss until he pulled up in the studio to threaten them and also issue a strong warning to the boss’s bef
“You okay, Miss?” ”I’m totally fine, Luca,” I replied, “Did you speak with Russel?” “Yes,” he replied, collecting my handbag and leading me to the car, “The Boss will still be busy for most of the day, might even take late into the night since we’re sending off some merchandise to Mexico tonight.
Chapter 136 ALLESIA ~~~0~~~ An idea suddenly occurred to me as we left the pharmacy, “Luca, can you do me a little favour?” I asked with a pout. “Sure, anything.” His expression was cautious. “Well, since Russel is busy, I was hoping you could take me to my family home.” Luca’s frown d
“Stay put,” he warned as he roared the engine to life. “Fucking hell!” He hissed, “I should never have left you alone,” “Luca, I’m fine,” I reassured him, even though my head was literally splitting, “How did you even know what was happening?” “You thought I would let you move alone? Of course
“Mum, please, I’ve told you before, he’s not the enemy—“ my eyes trailed to Renzo, who eyed me warily, “I love him,” Renzo released a string of curses and rolled his eyes, “I saw this coming. Stockholm syndrome,” “He loves me too!” My voice rose, even reaching a drowsy Luca who instinctively g
Chapter 137 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ "Big fancy guns, clumsy moves, coded rules, yet none of you can answer a simple question: who's paying you?" "I swear I don't know!" the man shrieked, his mangled cry echoing through the almost empty room. I let out a low chuckle to hide my disgust, “You all say
I glanced at my watch, it was just a few minutes past five and we still had to send off the package to Mexico tonight. I hadn't called or heard from Allesia all day since I kept my phone away to avoid distractions, but Luca was with her, so I knew she was safe. I sighed, right now, after all that

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,
