Chapter 149 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ “Food.” The shy girl who had been serving me stepped in, her eyes avoiding mine. She carried a tray with a small meal and a bottle of water, just like every other day. I glared at her, but it was more out of habit than any real anger. She was just a pawn, a means to
That giant fellow was Aldo, and that scared dude was Gausto. I was in the mood for peace that day, so I brought them both back. Aldo already worked for me, but Gausto was a street urchin who had the silly idea that seeing Aldo drop from a fancy car would be the perfect time to pick his pocket. Only
Chapter 150 RUSSEL ~~~~~~ ⚠️ TRIGGER⚠️ I sat paralyzed as Stacy approached, her eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger. She bent down, yanking at the buttons on my shirt. The tiny buttons flew past my ears until they were all discarded, leaving my chest bare to her invasive gaze. I didn't kn
I drew a sharp breath, my nails digging into the chains so hard that they started bleeding. I tried to imagine it was Allesia, anything to keep my mind busy, but all I could see was red. All I could think about was a thousand ways to kill Stacy, to make her suffer, so slowly and in the most painful
I roughly pulled her legs apart, and then I slammed into her with a force that shook the bed. Her eyes widened in surprise and her mouth dropped open like she had something to say but she just couldn't get it out. I was in control now, and I was going to make her regret every moment of this twisted
Chapter 151 ALLESIA ~~~√~~~ I stood in front of the large mirror in my bedroom, feeling exhausted despite having done nothing all day. It was late at night, and sleep still eluded me. My thoughts were everywhere, raging like a storm I couldn't control. I pushed open my nightdress and stared bl

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,

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,
