Alexander Vittorio POVI don’t dare move a muscle while Anya sleeps. I hold the love of my life, feeling the happiest I’ve ever been.This is all I wanted.With Anya in my arms, I process the shock of finding her and Vincent, and I form a plan to win Anya’s heart again.My woman wants dates. She wants to be swept off her feet.She better fucking brace herself because I’m bringing out the big guns.I manage to dose off occasionally, and when the sun starts to rise, I carefully climb to my feet with Anya in my arms. Carrying her to the bedroom, I glance around her personal space before I place her down on the bed.After I covered her with a blanket, I picked up the framed photo of her and Vincent.They’re on the beach, and both have happy smiles. Anya is wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and Vincent has a little Speedo on. My boy is covered in sand.I almost let out a chuckle.Taking the photo, I glance at Anya’s sleeping face before I walk out of the bedroom. I check in on Vincen

Alexander Vittorio POVI had to leave the bookstore so I could take Viktor to his one o’clock meeting.Every time I see Anya and Vincent, I feel a little calmer.“What’s on your jacket?” Viktor asks. “It better not be shit.”I let out a burst of laughter. “It’s chocolate.”“Thank, fuck,” he mutters. When we get to the office, check on the shipments that are due. I want to know what the rest of the week looks like.”“Okay.” Hesitating for a moment, I decide to go ahead and ask, “How did you get Rosemarie to fall in love with you?”“I kidnapped her,” he chuckles before he gets serious. “I showed her she’s safe with me. It took three years, Xander. She didn’t take it easy on me.” He glances out of the side window of the car. “Anya already loves you. Just remind her who you are.”I nod as I steer the G-Wagon into the underground parking. “Any news on Brayden Kelly?” I ask as we climb out of the vehicle.“No, but I’ve increased the hit on his head to two point five million, so he should be

Alexander Vittorio POVI didn’t stay late so Anya could get a good night’s rest. With Viktor in Las Vegas for the meeting with the Priesthood, it gives me the perfect opportunity to assassinate Brayden Kelly.If Kelly is keeping tabs on Viktor, he won’t expect the attack.I park the G-Wagon near the docks and armed with a sniper gun, a small rocket launcher, and two of my favorite handguns, I disappear into the darkness. Dressed in full combat gear, I’m ready for any kind of action.I’m sure Kelly is prepared for a full-scale attack, and he won’t expect just one man. At least, that’s what I’m hoping. With the sniper gun and rocket launcher’s straps flung over my shoulders, I enter the docks from a side gate that looks like it hasn’t been used in ages. The lock is rusted and easy to break. Lightfooted and keeping my head low, I make my way between the warehouses. Using a fire escape, I scale to the roof, where I’ll have a better view of the area.Once I’m on the roof, I move cautiously

Alexander Vittorio POV I feel the date was a massive success as I carry my sleeping son into the house.Anya helps to change him out of the tuxedo and into his pajamas before I pull the covers over him and press a kiss to his forehead.I leave Anya to whisper good night to our son and walk to the living room.I’m fucking nervous. There’s been such a huge build-up to the kiss, and I feel pressured not to fuck it up.Shrugging my suit jacket off, I roll up the sleeves of my dress shirt. My eyes keep flicking to the hallway, but when too much time passes and there’s no sign of Melody, I frown.What’s keeping her?I check that the front door is locked, and when she’s still MIA, I head down the hallway.I peek into Vincent’s room, and not seeing her, I walk to her bedroom. I nudge the door open, and hearing running water, I slowly move closer to the bathroom.A smile spreads over my face when I catch her staring at her reflection in the mirror.“You’re a confident woman. It’s just a kiss.

Alexander Vittorio POVWe’re lying on our sides, and with Anya in my arms, her naked body nestled against mine, we just stare at each other. I don’t know what I did to deserve this miracle, but I’m so fucking thankful I have her back. Slowly, I keep brushing my fingers through her hair, drinking in every inch of her beautiful face.“I love you,” I whisper.“I love you too.”Hearing her say the words and knowing she’s mine to keep, a smile lifts the corners of my mouth.Finally.“I love you,” I say again.She lets out a chuckle. “I love you too.”Anya uses her body to push me onto my back before she straddles me. I’ve been hard for a while, but I don’t push her to have sex again. I remember she was sore the first two times, and the last thing I want to do is hurt my woman.She brushes the tip of her finger over the bullet wound on my shoulder. “How did you get this scar?”I let out a chuckle, and still unable to lie to her, I admit, “Viktor shot me.”Her eyes widen, and she gasps. “Wha
