Liam's POVThe following morning when I awoke early, Alice was still fast asleep beside me. I recalled her entering the room at night. She appeared serene and defenseless as she lay on her back with her legs spread out on the bed, making my heart flood with love.I couldn't help but want to brush my fingers through her hair softly while smelling her perfume and savoring the delicacy of her skin. Her quiet breathing was the only sound in the still-dark room. I took a moment to admire her, taking in the way her hair fell over the pillow and the contented expression on her face.As I watched her sleep, I couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth come over me. I didn't want to disturb her because it was a peaceful moment for her. I chose to simply lay there, admiring her, and feeling appreciative of the time we had shared.I eventually realized that I had to wake up and begin the day. I slid out of bed slowly so as not to wake Alice. I couldn't help but reflect on how fortunate I was to ha

Alice's POV Liam's voice roused me from sleep. I blinked and saw him on the phone. I got to my feet, rubbed my eyes, and tried to pay attention to what he was saying. "We are indeed back in America. No; everything is good. we needed to rest, Liam stated." The person on the other end of the line could be heard responding, but I was unable to understand what they were saying. I've been under a lot of stress over the past few months. Being unable to get in touch with Sage and receiving no response was really upsetting. Despite the fact that my men are on guard, we have so far been able to repel the recent assaults. After hanging up the phone, Liam looked at me. That was my brother Matt, I said. He said, "He's thrilled to see us today. In doubt about the trip to see his parents, I nodded. At our wedding, I had only ever met Liam's family once, and it had not exactly been a good time. Even if his mother didn't like me, I couldn't care less. During the ceremony, she gave me a very str

Alice's POV I was driving silently with Liam to the strip club. The chat with Mrs. Salvador was still rattling around in my head. How was it possible for her to imply such things about my brother? I was still filled with rage, but at least I had a new object of my wrath. Sage.My senses were bombarded by the club's loud music and flashing lights as soon as we walked in. Unavoidably, I felt out of place. Clubs and partying never really appealed to me. Tonight, though, was distinct. It was important to get Sage tonight.Liam was looking around the crowd with concentrated and attentive eyes. He was in his element, pursuing his victim like a predator. I, however, had a sense of being a fish out of water. I need a beverage to ease my anxiety."Hey, let me buy you a drink. Do you have any requests?" I questioned Liam while attempting to maintain a calm tone.He shook his head while continuing to search the throng. No, I'm OK. Simply keep your phone nearby. If I need you, I'll give you a ca

Alice POVAswe drove out of the now demolished club, my heart was still racing. My eyes were glued to Liam, watching him for any sign of danger.His ears were bleeding, and I noticed a cut on his head. I panicked and screamed at the driver to make a turn towards the Mafia's hospital. "Turn the car around, we need to go to the hospital now!" I shouted at the driver. Simone and Silver followed our car, knowing that something was wrong.We needed to get him medical attention, and fast.Liam was beginning to look weak, and I could feel his body becoming heavy. He wasn't responding to me, and I was scared that I was going to lose him. I held onto him tightly, trying to keep him awake. "Stay with me Liam. Don't leave me," I whispered, but I got no response from him.I could feel my heart breaking as I watched the man I loved slip away from me. I knew we were in trouble, and that we needed help. I felt helpless and powerless.Simone and Silver were following us in a car behind, and they kep

My hand was securely grasped by Liam, and I was reassured by his presence.

Our conversation and laughter made the flight more enjoyable as we both enjoyed one another's company.I was overjoyed when the palmy tropical air greeted us as soon as we touched down.

The home featured a breathtaking view of the ocean and was surrounded by thick vegetation.As we moved throughout the property, Liam's joy was obvious. I
