Don Antonio 

Hell no was the answer I gave my dearest friend, Donald Bavarish, when he suggested that I invest in his fashion and lifestyle brand—The Bavarish. 

He had complained several times how my goddaughter was running down the businesses for years and needed to stop her before she ruined the business completely. 

I had said no because accepting the offer would mean Alexa ruining not just me, but the friendship I had maintained with her father for over thirty years. 

My good friend had crazy ideas. Not only had he begged me to invest my money, which is a piece of cake since I had too much of it running in billions. He wanted me to invest my time too, and in no other person but Alexa. 

How was I supposed to spend time with someone I should be avoiding? 

Alexa had everything any woman could wish for. A drop dead-gorgeous face, a banging body, and a well-working brain. Her fellow ladies would love to have what she has got, while most men lusted after her. Including me.

I have lost count of how many nights I have slept off while thinking about her. How many wet dreams of mine I have had her in. Any morning I woke up with a semi hard-on, it would only be because Alexa was in the fragment of my dreams the previous night. 

My answer to Donald's request, which was to invest my time in teaching her on the areas she was lacking in, would have remained no if not that Donald had threatened to fire her instead. 

I have known Alexa ever since she was a toddler, and had also studied her enough to guess that Donald firing her for a lack on her part would crush her deeply. Her career was the only thing she lived for. Taking over her father when he retired was the only thing she wanted. 

So I decided to become the sacrificial lamb and work with her. The deal I had with Donald was to teach her everything she needed to know about numbers in the business. But only heaven knows how much I would last before she burns me up with her sensual heat. 

I released my hand from her face, and that loss of contact felt like someone had punched me below my gut. 

I quickly grabbed her hand and led her out of the office. "Come on, enough of the tears. We have a lot of work to do."

I bade my friend and his other daughter goodbye, pulling Alexa with me. Immediately we entered the new office I would be mentoring her in, she snatched her hands away from me. Her sobbing increased even more, further breaking my heart. 

Without thinking twice about the consequences of my actions, I pulled her into my arms, pressing her lush body against mine. I had been expecting her to resist, but she surprised me by leaning into my arms. I grunted, bringing her so close until there was no space left between us.

Her signature vanilla scent filled my nose, and I inhaled it deeply, losing my senses at that moment. We stayed like that for a long time. 

I had seen the world through my numerous travels and a lot of beautiful women in it. I could have as many of them as I wanted. However, never did I think that I would be falling hard for a woman the way I had fallen hard for Alexa. 

The bad part was that she was someone much younger than me, while the worst part was that she is also my friend's daughter. And also was the world's most dangerous seduction to me.

Everything about her invited me in. The way she talked, smiled, cried, and even smelled. Gosh, that signature vanilla scent. It made her almost as desirable as a delicious ice cream about to melt to the core. And I wanted nothing else but to lick her to the last drop. 

I took a great risk by deciding to accept to work with her. That was the greatest game of my entire life because to me, she was the final grand prize. I want her, no matter what. I might be ready to take the risk with her. 

"Don't worry, I am going to teach you more things you need to know about the business. You will learn and become better at the business," I assured her.

"Thank you," she muttered, snuggling further into my chest. She wrapped her slender arms around my back. A move I found very dangerous.

However, I made an extreme effort to suppress my grieving passion deep inside, trying not to scare her off with my inner beast, while watching her step into my exquisitely designed trap. 

"Thank you so much for being too good to me, godfather," she finished. 

Only if she could read my mind, would she know how badly every piece of me desired her. 'Little Alexa, you have no idea all those dirty thoughts my mind is filled with about you. So don't tease me, unless you are going to please me.' I thought to myself. 

I gritted my teeth and covered my eyes, not wanting to leak out my dark side. But it was already too late because I had said it out loud unknowingly. 

I tried to let go of her, but she murmured something, touching my face softly, as it was stern because of how nervous I was of how she would react. 

"Then show them to me," she replied in almost a whisper, staring into my eyes with her emerald green eyes. 

I quickly pushed her off me, giving a long distance between us. 

"We need to get to work now," I announced, striding to my chair. Each step I took away from her was gruesome. It took everything within me not to go back and kiss those lush lips of hers senselessly until she begged me to stop. 

She remained where she was, somewhat dazed at my flip of emotion. 

"What are you still doing there? Didn't you hear what I just said? Get yourself over and let's get those numbers into your head! Move it now!" I barked.

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   119. Final Decision

    Don Antonio’s POV I had seen the fear behind Donald’s eyes, the same fear I'm currently feeling. He was afraid of losing, of losing the power he had spent a lifetime building. I walked back into my warehouse, the same one I heard from my intel that Alexa had just left, and the first person I saw was Xavier. He was still cleaning up the mess she'd made, the papers she had scattered across the floor. He looked up at me, his face a mix of concern and confusion. He didn't ask what had happened; he could see it in my face."Don't worry about it," I said, my voice low and a little rough. "It's all over."He straightened up and walked over to me. "What happened? The guards said it was a shouting match. We were ready to move in."I shook my head and went to my desk, my hand running over the smooth, dark wood. "We won't be needing them. Not anymore. I told him what I was going to do." I looked at Xavier, and I knew he wouldn't understand. Not yet. "I'm ending it, Xavier. The whole war. I told

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   118. A Desperate Move

    Alexa’s POV The cold dread that had settled in my stomach had now taken root, spreading through my limbs and leaving me frozen in the middle of the studio. My mother's frantic words echoed in the silence, a low and menacing hum that was far more terrifying than a shout. A meeting. A truce. In my father and Don Antonio's world, those words were a lie, a thin veil over a much more violent reality.My mind was no longer a battlefield of conflicting emotions; it was a single, terrifying thought: I couldn't wait. I couldn't sit here, staring at a blank canvas and waiting for news that might never come. My mother was a fountain of half-truths and emotional mess, a terrified report from a security guard was hardly a reliable source of information. It could be a trap, a setup, a brutal and violent end for one of them—or both.A new kind of panic, one laced with action instead of paralysis, began to stir within me. The thought of staying away, of giving Don Antonio the space he had asked for,

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   117. Another Storm

    Alexa's POV The lunch with Jeremy had been a complete and utter shock. His confession of feelings, so unexpected and earnest, had thrown my already chaotic world into even greater disarray. I had spent the past few weeks trying to convince myself that I could build a life without Don Antonio, a life where my feelings for him were just a painful memory. Then Jeremy appeared, a quiet, kind man who offered a different kind of future, a simple one without the danger.Now, sitting in my studio, I stared at a half-finished sketch, the pen clutched in my hand. My mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Could I really consider a life with Jeremy? Was it even fair to him, when my heart still ached for another man? The thought of Don Antonio brought a familiar pang of longing and regret, a mix of anger and love that was a constant, unwelcome presence in my mind.I was so lost in my thoughts, so busy trying to decide if things could really work out with Jeremy, when my phone rang. The scr

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   116. Summit

    Don Antonio's POV The meeting with Donald was finally happening. My office, once a place of restless pacing and anxious waiting, was now a command center of quiet, controlled chaos. The fear for Alexa's safety had been replaced by a cold, sharp focus. I had a path forward, a dangerous one, but a path nonetheless. Every detail had been meticulously planned. My security team, led by a tight-lipped and grim-faced Xavier, was briefed and ready for any contingency. The location was a discreet, private restaurant, a neutral territory that was anything but. Every corner, every exit, every waiter had been vetted and double-checked. The car ride was silent. The city lights outside were a blur, a chaotic world that felt a million miles away from the quiet, tense world inside my vehicle. I was surrounded by men I trusted with my life, each of them a testament to the decades of power and violence that had shaped my world. I had lived this life for so long that the weight of it, the constant thr

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   115. Haunting Reminder

    Alexa's POVThe mood in the restaurant had soured the moment Sarah mentioned Andrew. Her well-meaning words had only served to remind me that a fleeting distraction couldn't fill the void left by Don Antonio's absence. The celebration of my new business, so full of genuine joy, had been punctured by the sharp, painful reality of my unresolved feelings. My heart, which I had believed was on the mend, still ached for him, for a life that felt a million miles away.The next day, I woke up with a familiar emptiness in my chest. The pending meeting with my dad and the fresh ache of missing Don Antonio were a heavy weight on my shoulders. I knew I needed to get out of the house, to do anything to stop the swirling thoughts in my head. A trip to the shopping mall seemed like a good idea. The hustle and bustle, the bright lights, the sheer volume of people—it all felt like a safe shield against my own quiet despair.I was in a small, elegant boutique, running my hand along a rack of silk blou

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   114. Glimmers of Hope

    Alexa's POV The aftermath of my explosive phone call with my dad left me feeling raw and exposed. The confrontation, while cathartic, had also left me more confused than ever. The anger I'd carried for weeks had finally found an outlet, but the relief was short-lived, replaced by a dull ache of despair. He had called and asked to meet, and in a moment of reckless hope, I had agreed. The thought of confronting him face-to-face, of finally getting some answers, was both terrifying and intoxicating.But before that meeting, before I could plunge myself back into the heart of the storm, my new business offered a welcome, much-needed distraction. I had poured all my energy into it, desperate for a purpose that was entirely my own, something that no one—not my mother, not my dad, not Don Antonio—could take away from me.I was hunched over a new sketch, completely lost in the intricate details of a design, when my phone chimed. It wasn't the menacing buzz of a text from my mother or the int
