Alex’s POVThe night air was thick with tension. I had let Kelly go without a fight, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t worried. I knew she needed space, but I couldn’t let her slip away too far. Not when everything around me was beginning to unravel.I've had security follow her, and when I confirmed it was Emily's house, I told the security to retreat allowing her to breathe, she'll be more pissed if she found out I sent security to baby sit her.I leaned back in my chair, swirling the amber liquid in my glass as I waited. The concierge would be here soon, and I needed this meeting to go exactly as I planned. I didn’t want him thinking I was desperate, even though, in some ways, I was. I needed a way out or a middle ground, I didn't want Kelly thinking I'm a fraud, her judging eyes made me feel less of a man, like I'm not the man she bargained for.Kelly leaving made me uneasy, but not because I thought she’d run. No, it was because she might start asking questions I wasn’t ready to answ

Alex’s POVI stared at Kelly, waiting for her to say she was joking.She wasn’t.“You must be joking when you said you want to see the gang. I'm correct right?” I repeated slowly, watching her carefully. She should be joking.“No I'm not, I want to be there, I want to meet people you're close to, don’t you think if you had related more with them and showed them your family before they saw it on the news they might feel they had a place in your home?” Her voice was firm, her eyes locked onto mine with that unshakable determination that I both admired and feared.I ran a hand over my face, exhaling heavily. “Kelly, that’s not happening, I'm not bringing you into this world.”Her arms crossed. “Why not?”I let out a dry laugh. “Because, sweetheart, my gang is not exactly a ‘bring-your-wife-to-work’ kind of place, and once you're in it's a lifestyle no going back”She arched an eyebrow. “And yet, you’re trying to convince me you’re done with them, and that you want to leave, how do you pl

Alex’s POVThe evening was settling in, casting a golden hue over the hospital room. The air smelled like antiseptic and vanilla cake, an odd combination, but fitting for the warmth that surrounded us. My mom was still gushing over Ivy, Richard was side-eyeing Denise like she was his personal moon, and Nora? Well, she was busy sneaking extra icing off the cake when she thought no one was watching, like a kidKelly sat beside me, her fingers absentmindedly playing with the sleeve of my shirt as she chatted with my mom. It was one of those rare moments where everything felt… steady.Then my phone buzzed.I fished it out of my pocket and glanced at the screen. Concierge.I got up, stepping out onto the hospital’s private balcony. The air was crisp, a reminder that the seasons were shifting. I answered on the third ring."Mr. Delano," the deep voice on the other end greeted smoothly. "Everything is in place."A slow smirk formed on my lips. "As expected.""The shipment arrives in exactly

Kelly's POV Two years later.“Lights turn on in three…. Two…..one.” And the lighting came on at once.Cameras from different angles flashed at once in order to capture a moment.Yes…. The moment I had successfully landed myself a job as a full time runway and magazine model for the biggest fashion Nova in the city.I beamed with pride as the cameras clicked away while turned majestically, capturing my confident stride down the catwalk. The flashbulbs blinded me for a moment as I made my way down the runway but I beamed against it in the excitement. I had worked so hard to get to this moment. I had been through rigorous training for my first runway modelling and it felt amazing to have my talent recognized in front of a lot of people.The fashion show was going to be a huge success, and I knew this was just the beginning of my modeling career. I smiled brightly, turning and walking towards the direction I came from, winking slightly at the audience as the show came to a close. The

Kelly's POV My bestie “A warm welcome for the most beautiful Mom and model in town. “ Daniella squeaked the moment I walked into the house after a long day in Mrs Cathe’s office.I laughed tiredly, dropping my bag on the couch. “Daniella, please don’t start with your drama today. I am really exhausted. Bed!! Bed!!! I need a bed to loosen and relax. Today has been both stressful and fruitful..”She rushed over and hugged me tight. “Oh, don’t act too humble, Kelly. You’re the new hot cake! The trend. Everyone’s talking about you. Allow me to admire such a talent, your Majesty. I have to tell you the truth, Kelly.

Her tiny hands reached for my face while slightly pulling at my hair.“Daniella winked. “See? Even your god-daughter agrees. Right Ivy?”. I kissed Ivy’s soft cheek and sighed, my tiredness melting a little at her sweet laugh
