ROXANNE POV

I swallowed hard, standing frozen in place. I should've walked away, I told myself that twice already. But my body had other plans.

I stepped closer.

Each breath felt heavier than the last, my heart thudding. My fingers grazed the edge of the bathroom door frame as I peeked inside, my curiosity too loud to ignore.

The glass was fogged but clear enough.

He was standing under the shower, his head tipped back, water sliding down the sharp angles of his jaw and neck. There was a rag ha

    ROXANNE POVIt was the first day of our honeymoon in the Maldives, and I woke to sunlight spilling softly through the wide glass windows.For a moment, I just lay there. Listening to the faint sound of waves beneath the villa. Then I turned my head.Damien was still asleep beside me.I smiled.It wasn't something I got to see often... him like this. Relaxed. Unarmed by the world. No sharp edges, no calculated gaze and no tension in his shoulders.Just...him.Peaceful.My fingers moved before I could stop them, brushing lightly along his jaw and tracing the faint shadow of stubble there.He didn't stir.I exhaled softly, slipping out of bed carefully so I wouldn't wake him.The floor was cool beneath my feet as I made my way to the bathroom, the sunlight following me in. I reached for my pills first, taking the two I needed with a quick sip of water before brushing my teeth.Then I stepped into the shower, letting the warm water cascade over me, washing away the last traces of sleep.F

    DAMIEN RAPHAËL POVFive days with no guns, no hits, and no mafia bullshit. Just us and the ocean and whatever the hell I felt like doing with my wife in our private villa. The staff left us alone after showing us how everything worked...minibar, smart home system and the works. As soon as the door clicked shut, I grabbed Roxanne, picking her up and making her squeal. "Five days of you in a bikini," I said, dropping kisses all over her face. "I'm going to be hard non-stop."She giggled, wrapping her legs around my waist. "Is that a promise or a threat?" I carried her to the bed, tossing her down gently before crawling over her. "Both," I growled, capturing her mouth in a deep kiss. My hands roamed under her sundress, squeezing her ass cheeks possessively. Five days of uninterrupted sex with my wife and I was already rock hard thinking about it. I broke the kiss to whisper against her lips, "No condoms allowed this week.""Damien...we're not trying to give Angelina a sibling jus

    ROXANNE POV It was finally the weekend. And we were leaving for our honeymoon. Five days. Five days away from everything. Just…us. I stood near the entrance of the estate, my suitcase already packed and resting by my side as I did one final mental check. Angelina was staying with the Jones family while we were gone. She had hugged me tightly, already making me promise to bring back souvenirs. “Something cute,” she had insisted. I smiled at that. Fred and the rest of the boys had things under control...business, security and everything Damien usually handled. It was all taken care of. Which meant… There was nothing holding us back. And now here we were...being escorted onto Damien’s private jet like it was just another normal day. I still wasn’t used to it. Probably never would be. But I wasn’t complaining. Not when I had chosen the destination myself. The Maldives. Crystal clear waters, white sand beaches, private villas sitting over the ocean like something out of a

    ROXANNE POV I was casually strolling through the supermarket, one hand on the cart as I moved down the aisles, gathering groceries like a normal person for once. Something about it felt…grounding. After everything that had been happening...the memories, the therapy, the constant feeling that my past was creeping closer...I needed something normal. So I insisted on doing this myself after work instead of letting Mrs. Jones handle it like she usually did. Of course, “by myself” I didn’t exactly mean alone. Adam had picked me up from the clinic, and now he was somewhere nearby... close enough to step in if needed, yet far enough to give me space. I spotted him briefly at the end of the aisle, pretending to look at cereal like he had any interest in it. I hid a small smile and turned back to my cart. Milk. Bread. Fresh fruits. A few snacks Angelina liked. And yes...strawberry wafer cookies. I tossed them in without hesitation. My phone was tucked between my shoulder and ear as

    DAMIEN RAPHAËL POVIt was Wednesday night, and there I was driving my Mercedes through the rain.The city looked different when it rained.Quieter. Like it was trying to wash away everything that didn’t belong, but it never could. Not really.And tonight?I was working.The file sat on the passenger seat, slightly damp at the edges from when I tossed it there earlier. I didn’t need to open it again...I’d already memorized everything worth knowing.Name: Viktor Sokolov.Notorious gangster. Arms trafficking, extortion and a few confirmed kills.Sloppy, from what I gathered.Men like that didn’t last long.Didn’t matter to me whether I knew him or not. Didn’t matter what he’d done.He was on the list.That was enough.The wipers dragged across the windshield in a steady rhythm as I turned onto a quieter street, the glow of streetlights flickering through the rain.His location was pinned.Old industrial block. Half-abandoned.Predictable.I slowed the car as I approached, cutting the hea

    ROXANNE POVI was sitting on an outdoor bench, my legs crossed neatly, the soft fabric of my sunflower dress brushing against my skin as the breeze passed through the park.The weather was perfect.Not too hot. Not too cool.Just enough sunlight to make everything feel a little lighter.Angelina sat beside me, her small body leaning against my arm as we flipped through her homework book together. Her pencil tapped lightly against the page as she pointed to one of the questions.“Ms. Carter said I have to finish this one,” she told me seriously.I glanced down at it, smiling faintly.“Alright, let’s see…what do you think the answer is?”She squinted at the page like it personally offended her.“Hmm…”I tried not to laugh.“Take your time.”A moment later, she pointed confidently.“That one!”I raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”She nodded. “Very sure.”I chuckled softly.“Okay, write it down then.”She scribbled it proudly, then looked up at me like she had just solved the greatest mys

    ROXANNE POV The sky was a quiet blue, clear and slow like the way morning stretches across the estate. The air still smelled faintly of buttered toast and coffee from breakfast, but the silence now felt different, fresh and unbothered. It was Saturday morning, but Angelina had already run off t

    ROXANNE POV I took a box of orange juice from one of the grocery bags and unscrewed the cap."But are you aware of what it takes to be part of the Raphaël family?" He asked, his voice quieter now, a shade darker. "To be the daughter-in-law. The future queen of this empire when Raphaël becomes the

    DAMIEN RAPHAËL POVThe water was choppy, rough enough to keep the cowards off the sea, but nothing I couldn’t handle. My hands stayed firm on the steering wheel of the motorboat, the wind cutting across my face as we cruised toward the drop point. I wore my aviator shades, not for fashion, but bec
