Chapter 152 RUSSEL ~~~©~~~ “It’s you I want,” Allesia whispered as Nikolai's tongue skimmed over her neck. “But you left me for him,” Nikolai countered, his hand trailing the soft confines of her naked breasts. “And now he left you for her.” He finished, a sinister smile teasing the corners of h
Her eyes widened in their sockets, but I had gone past the time for preambles. Time was a luxury I could not afford right now. “But if you scream,” I continued, there was an undeniable threat in my voice, “I’ll snap your neck before they realize what’s going on. Do you know what will happen when I
Chapter 153 RUSSEL ~~~√~~~ I waited all night, my nerves frayed to the point of breaking. Every sound, every creak of the old building made my heart race, hoping it was Lina, but each time I was met by disappointment. As the hours dragged towards dawn, the hope that had sparked inside me sl
As I approached the room at the end, I heard muffled sobbing. I took a deep breath and approached. If it turned out to be her, then luck was really on my side today. I quickened my pace, my heart pounding heavily in my chest. When I reached the door, I tried the handle, but it was locked. I glance
Just as we reached the main door, an alarm sounded, and immediately, footsteps echoed all over the house. Just like I imagined, Stacy’s men had been alerted. We burst out into the courtyard, the scent of fresh air and daylight nearly blinding me. I hadn’t experienced that in what, two weeks? Gun
Chapter 154 RUSSEL ~~~°~~~ From my vantage point, I had the upper hand. Gausto was out in the open, vulnerable, and I intended to keep him that way until Kegan arrived with backup. The thought of retreating inside crossed my mind, but I weighed the risks. If I go back inside, the chances of
Gausto seized the opportunity and dashed back inside the Safehouse. My blurred vision hindered my accuracy but I fired anyway, the bullet went through his right thigh and he let out a painful yelp that sounded like music to my ears. He paused briefly to examine the wound, then continued his escap
“As expected,” I hissed in disgust, “You chose the cowardly way out.” My fists connected with his face, again and again, each punch resonating with my rage. Gausto threw a sharp punch at my broken ribs and I doubled over in pain. He tried top me but I kicked him off, but that split second was enou

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,
