Epilouge.Ally felt herself losing control as Rican's hands roamed over her body, his touch setting her nerves on fire. His fingers brushed against her sensitive skin, teasing her as his hands moved to her breasts, kneading and pinching her hardened nipples. The slippery soap on her body made his movements smoother.Her lips parted as his mouth claimed hers in a heated kiss, his tongue dominating the moment as it explored her fully. She surrendered, her fingers gripping his damp hair, pulling him closer. The intensity of the kiss left her breathless, and her body quivered under his touch.Without breaking the connection, Rican reached for the shower handle, turning on the water. The warm stream cascaded over them, rinsing away the soap and making Ally’s skin glisten under the soft glow of the bathroom lights. The sight of her body, glowing and wet, made Rican's gaze darken with desire.“God, you’re breathtaking,” he muttered, his voice thick with want as his eyes roamed over
..Ally was scrolling her phone, a smile on her lips, it’s didn’t waiver for a second, as she was seeing the pictures of their marriage, she looked like a penguin and why not, she was almost five months pregnant when Rican again proposed her for marriage. She didn’t want to marry him while pregnant but Rican was stubborn, he couldn’t wait anymore and finally she married him, here was the proof, she looked like a fluffy balloon at the time of her wedding but nevertheless she was happy, so happy she felt everything was a dream. Ally glanced at the clock. It was only ten at night, but Rican was still downstairs in his home office. He’d created the small workspace so he could stay home more often, especially for Rowoon, who was growing more stubborn and demanding with each passing day. She smiled, thinking of their little boy. Ally through of taking a quick shower before bed Ally got up and headed to the bathroom. She removed her clothes and slid into the bathtub, sighing as the
Chapter 89.|Rican|I was deep in sleep when something soft landed on my face—a tiny slap. Before I could react, another one came, a little firmer this time. Groaning, I opened one eye reluctantly, and there he was—our little bundle of energy, Rowoon, standing next to the bed. His bright blue eyes sparkled with mischief, and a wide grin stretched across his chubby cheeks.“Papa! Papa awake! Papa awake!” he sang loudly, practically bouncing on the spot.I couldn’t help but smile as I sat up, pulling him into my arms. “Morning, little king,” I murmured, ruffling his hair.But Rowoon wasn’t done yet. Once on the bed, he immediately turned his attention to Ally, who was still in a deep sleep. Without hesitation, he started climbing over her. His giggles filled the room as he poked her gently. “Momma, wokii wokii!” he sang, his little voice rising in excitement.“Hey, baby,” I whispered, trying to gently pull him back. “Momma is tired, okay? Let’s let her sleep a little more, hmm?
Chapter 88.Alessa lay on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. The quiet of the room felt heavier than usual, yet there was an odd sense of calm in her heart. Xavier's apology earlier in the evening had stirred something within her. It wasn’t forgiveness, not entirely, but it felt like a burden she didn’t know she was carrying had been lifted. A strange sense of peace settled over her as though she had finally found closure.The door creaked open, and Rican stepped into the room. He watched her for a moment before sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. “Aren’t you sleepy yet?” he asked softly, his voice hesitant.“No… I don’t feel like sleeping right now,” Alessa replied, her tone calm but distant.Rican tilted his head, his brow furrowing. “Is something bothering you? I mean, is it about… Xavier?” he asked carefully, his voice tinged with concern.She shook her head, a faint smile crossing her lips. “No, it’s not bothering me,” she said. “In fact, I feel… calm. As if
Chapter 87.Alessa stood frozen at the door, her entire body stiff with shock. Her heart raced as she pointed toward the gate, unable to find her voice. Rican, noticing her fear, rushed to her side. He cupped her face in his hands, his eyes filled with worry.“What happened, Ally? What is it?” he asked, his voice trembling with concern.She couldn’t speak, only lifting her hand; Rican followed her gaze and froze. There he was—Xavier, standing at the gate.Rican's expression darkened in an instant. Rage consumed him as he stormed outside. Before Xavier could utter a single word, Rican’s fist connected with his jaw."How dare you come to my home? I fucking warned you, didn’t I?" Rican roared, his voice filled with fury. "I have decided to leave you only becasue Ally requested me to leave you otherwise your body would be buried deep down now."- he screramed raining punches after punches at him.Xavier didn’t fight back. He stood still, taking every punch and blow without a word.
Chapter 86.|Rican|Time had passed, but if I’m being honest, things weren’t fully healed. Maybe some things never really heal. Instead, we learn to live with the pain, mask it with a smile, and call it moving on. That’s exactly what we’re trying to do now.Alessa was finally discharged from the hospital. Physically, she was okay, but mentally… that was a whole other story. She barely spoke these days, and when she did, it was as though her voice carried the weight of the world. My father, Stefano Rossi, decided to stay with us, and for the first time in years, I didn’t push him away.Do I hate him for what he did to my mother? Absolutely. That betrayal will forever be a wall between us. But after what he did to help rescue Alessa, I couldn’t bring myself to tell him to leave. I needed him here—not for me, but for Alessa. We were in a crisis, and even though I despised his past actions, I knew he was a rock we could lean on now.And then there was Uncle Liam. The man I had once
