I took two wrong turns before finding my way here. It's funny how the security team almost denied entry to me until I said my name and everything just became easier. I get out of my red car and go to the back seat where the shopping bags containing ingredients that I have seen my mother put together and some wine.Ryan's words made me feel bad and guilty for looking at Aiden like a monster when all along he's been protecting me. I didn't even know about the stalker and what happened to him apart from the bits of information dad told me. I'm still uncomfortable with how the men dealt with that woman and thinking about it only makes my stomach churn.I take the two bags and walk to the front door where the door opens immediately making me come face to face with two women, a guy and Aiden further away pursing his lips."Oh, my gosh. You!" The younger woman exclaims and I look at her before my eyes widening in recognition."Calla Brat Kings." I state appalled. She's the woman who was shou
"What's this that you're being so mysterious about?" Kelly asks from behind me as we stand in front of the Club. Next to her is her boyfriend, Tim. Then Naomi and my mother. Dad should be here any minute now. He just saw Mr. Kings and went to say hi."You brought us all the way for a club opening Alex?" Mother asks but I don't say anything for a few seconds."As much as I love clubbing, I'm a little confused. You said this is something important that we shouldn't miss for anything in the world." Naomi looks at me, raising an eyebrow as if trying to figure out what I'm playing at and I roll my eyes. "Let's just go in." I say."It's your boyfriend's isn't it? So you brought us to support him. Right?" Kelly asks as if she's figured out and I let out a small laugh. I lead them inside the club and take them straight to the VIP. I love the interior. Red leather covers the walls and chairs and a black marble flooring."Wow. You have to tell your man I'll be a regular customer here. Check th
Aiden placed me on the clean mahogany table that I had wanted when I was choosing things for my office. My hands start moving down his clothed abs as he kisses my neck while trying to unzip my dress. When he's successful, he stands straight and helps me out of the dress, leaving me in my black panties with no bra. His eyes get even darker speaking of promises that are yet to come and I gulp. "Remove your panties and hand them over." He says and I do so without any second to waste. I'm too horny to think about the world outside these walls. I give them to him and he places it in his back pocket without even thinking about it and for some reason that action causes my core to burn with need."Get on the table." He says while removing his coat and throwing it on the couch before kneeling in front of me. The table is high enough for him to look directly at my leaking core. I bite my lip already anticipating what is to come. He takes my leg and unties the shoe straps slowly, teasing me and
I wake up hours later to footsteps coming towards me. I still and try to remain still not knowing who it is even though at the back of my mind I'm thinking it is Aiden. His cologne gets to me first and I instantly relax. "I woke you up." He states, his voice raspy.My eyes dart to the large clock on the wall. "No, it's okay. I should be waking up in an hour." I look at him and he seems to have showered given the different set of clothes and freshly shaved jaw. "What happened?" I yawn before stretching. Aiden looks at me, dazed and I raise my hand to my hair to ensure it doesn't look crazy. I don't move a lot in my sleep so my hair isn't a problem most mornings but him looking at me like that makes me conscious.He lets out a long breath before sitting next to me. I scoot over to give him more space but mostly to increase the space between us. I still can't forget what he did yesterday but at the same time I still want him to go all the way. "Sean is mad. He already stole some of my s
"We have to pay Diane a visit before we detox away our stress." I announce immediately when I get into Kels car cutting off whatever she had started saying. She looks at me, shocked as she dramatically blinks. Suddenly a malicious grin forms on her face making me roll my eyes at the ideas already forming in her mind. With Kelly, she has the meanest ideas."No." I declare firmly as I shake my head. Kelly scoffs starting her car. "Your car is older than grandpa Fil." I say for the hundredth time."Since I don't have to save for a house anymore, my car will be on the way and you'll be sorry." Kelly says with a sass making me scoff. I've always offered to give her a loan but this is Kelly we're talking about. When she's decided something, nothing can change her mind. Nothing.We turn to an unfamiliar road. "How do you know where she lives?" I ask looking around at the neighbourhood."I once followed her here. She lives with Sean." Kelly says nonchalantly and I look at her shocked."You fo
"Get out." I almost shout but stop myself. Sean only smirks at me as he walks closer. He sits on the tub and puts his hand in making me panic. "Get away. What the hell!" I screech and he only laughs as he takes some water in his palm and pours it on my shoulder as he watches it."You used to love it when we got in the shower or bathed together." He says with a small smile before releasing a breath then stands. "I've been trying to find Aiden, be a sweetheart and give this to him." He places an envelope on the counter and walks to the door but stops before getting out. "Always shut your door Alex. You never know who might get in next and maybe next time it won't end well."As soon as he leaves I stand from the bathtub and take my towel then wrap it around me. I walk to the front door and make sure it is shut before taking my phone and calling Aiden as I try opening the envelope."Baby." He picks up almost immediately."Sean was here and he left something for you. I don't know what it i
"Naomi!" I call her in panic when I register her words. Who did she kill?"Alex. She'll be fine. Oliver's on his way to see what he can find." Aiden says beside me trying to move me. "Let the doctor do his work." I nod realizing he's right and moves as he directs me. We sit outside as I try to think what Naomi just said. Could it be Aaron?I take my phone to call him. I check through my contact list again and again my mind thinking of a lot of things until Aiden's hands hold mine. I look up at him."Has Oliver said anything?" he shakes his head a second before his phone rings. He doesn't wait for another second before picking it up. I move closer and he notices then clicks the speaker option."A guy's dead. Seams about 6 feet tall, bleached hair." I gasp. "Carl. Naomi just broke up with him a few weeks ago." I say trying to keep my cool but my shaking hand betrays me. Aiden holds it."What killed him?""I see two broken bottles." He pauses for a second. "Head injury. The guy got a go
Aiden's POVGrowing up with parents such as mine has made me the man I am today. I would see the love between Isabella and Sydney Kings as they look into each other's eyes. I would see the trust they have for each other. They were days they would disagree on certain things but it brought them closer.My father was the American Mafia Don but he separated work from family. At work, he'd be a cold and heartless bastard but the sight of his family, he was a teddy bear. I admired that. I longed for that. That was until I met other people, the Russian don in particular, whose newly-wedded wife died during an attack. He was devastated. He cut his ties and made more enemies than friends. He became vulnerable. That thought scared me. I would see my parents' love but then I would see the Russian Don. What if the same fate were to happen to my mother? Would dad love us the same? Would he still be a 'teddy bear' as Calla called him? Would he have led the Mafia as he is right now?"Love made me ru
