Zayden’s POV

I was preparing to meet with Nico when a firm, heavy knock came at my door. I didn’t need to open it to know who it was.

“Come in darling,” I said with a smirk.

Bella barged in as always, her eyes blazing.

Her hands firm by her side, her knuckles curled into a fist.

“What is it now?” I said. “You have that look on your face when you're about to go all out on me.”

“How could you?” She snapped.

“How could I what?”

“How could you let me think the worst about Lucia?” She asked, steppi

    Zayden’s POVThe drive back home was quiet.Mainly because I was the only one in the car.I had left Nico back at the warehouse to clean up the mess and handle whatever still needed handling.I have to admit, tonight came as a shock to me.Everything I thought I knew — I didn’t.Alejandro had been working for Hiram all along and the cargo I burned? It belonged to him.Hiram Moretti.The ghost everyone feared but nobody saw.And now I finally knew the truth.Hiram was the one who killed my family.Alejandro was just the coward who pointed him in the right direction.I gripped the steering wheel tighter.For years I thought some nameless cartel had ordered the attack.I never imagined it was him.A dark chuckle left my throat.Well, I killed Matteo. So Hiram could consider us even.Though somehow I doubted he would.When I got home, I parked the car in the driveway and stepped out. The cold night air hit my face immediately, but it did nothing to cool the anger sitting inside me.The vi

    Zayden’s POVBella was still on my mind. Annoyingly so.I adjusted the cuffs of my shirt as I walked through the underground parking garage beneath one of my buildings.Her words kept replaying.“I will never give myself to you.”I scoffed.Women said many things when they were angry.Bella especially.She could barely look at me without reacting.Barely stand near me without shaking.Yet somehow she expected me to believe she felt nothing.Ridiculous.I unlocked my car and slid into the driver’s seat.The engine had barely started when my phone vibrated.“What’s up, Nico?” I answered.“Where are you?”“I’m on my way. Give me some time.” I replied.“Alright then.” He hung up. I gripped the steering wheel tighter. Trying to get her out of my head.I didn't have time for this. A girl's petty feelings couldn't distract me from what needed to be done.Twenty minutes later I pulled into an empty industrial district on the edge of the city.I parked the car and stepped out into the cold ni

    Bella’s POVHis mouth was on my neck.Hot. Slow. Intoxicating.I gasped as Zayden’s lips dragged down my skin, leaving a trail of fire. His hands gripped my waist, holding me in place while his tongue traced the curve of my throat. I tilted my head back without thinking, giving him more access.“Zayden…” I breathed. “Yes!”He didn’t answer with words. He answered by moving lower, kissing the centre of my chest, then lower still until his mouth closed over my breast.His tongue swirled around my nipple before he sucked it hard into his mouth. A sharp moan tore from my throat. My back arched off the bed as pleasure shot straight between my legs.His hand slid down my stomach, fingers parting my thighs. One thick finger pushed inside me without warning. I was so wet it slid in easily, curling deep, stroking that spot that made my toes curl.“Oh fuck…” I whimpered. “Two fingers please.”He sucked harder on my nipple, biting gently while he put another finger inside me and pumped faster.

Two nights in a row and all you want to do is fight me.”“You had Lucia here the day of our wedding….the night of our wedding.” She paused, taking a deep breath. “And you never thought to tell me.”“For good reason,” I said quietly. “And what good reason could that possibly be?” “

    Bella’s POVLucia and I talked all through the day, and by the time it was nighttime, we hadn’t even realised.“And that's all that happened at breakfast,” I concluded, slamming myself back into the bed.“She really said all that to you?” Lucia scoffed. “It sounds like your mother-in-law is a real piece of work.”“Tell me about it.” I raised a brow. She stood and moved to the mirror. “What are you doing?” I asked.“Just checking out your makeup.” She grinned. “And besides I gotta go.”“You have to what?”“You know I have to go belly.” She said, smiling, as she walked back to my closet.“I know, but do you have to?” I asked again. “You just got back.“Yes.” She said, selecting dresses. “I have parents remember? and they’re worried, you’re not the only one who cares for me.”“Yeah, I know.” I twisted my lips. “They probably are worried….unlike my dad…he hasn’t even come to visit.”“Oh, the great Alejandro Mendoza.” Lucia chuckled. “You can’t expect him to show up. He’s terrified of Za

    Bella’s POVFor a second, the world stopped.Lucia stood there in the doorway, looking perfect as always. “Lucia?” My voice cracked.She smiled. “Hey, Belly.”I didn’t think. I just ran.My arms wrapped around her so tightly I was probably hurting her, but she hugged me back just as hard. A sob tore out of my throat before I could stop it.“You’re okay,” I whispered. “You’re really okay.”“I’m here,” she murmured into my hair. “I’m okay. I promise.”Tears streamed down my face as I held her. The relief was so overwhelming that it made my knees weak. For days I had imagined the worst — that Matteo’s men had hurt her, that she was gone forever because of me.We stayed like that for a long time, just holding each other while maids pretended not to stare.Eventually, Lucia pulled back and wiped my cheeks with her thumbs. “Stop crying, you’re going to make me cry too.”I laughed through the tears. “I thought I lost you.”“You didn’t. I’m here now.” She smiled.“Where have you been?” I ask
