AlixHe was there. Perry was fucking there in the conference room. I thought for a second he might get upset seeing my father had betrothed me to his business partner's son. Maybe he did have an awesome poker face, but still, it broke my heart when there was barely an upset expression on his face. I know, because I watched him. The hurt had turned to anger. I was bubbling on the inside and I finally shut the door in front of his face the second he had done his job escorting me safely back to my place hours after the family meeting. The said anger turned to tears the moment I walked into the privacy of my bedroom. I should be getting over him. Larry was not that bad, at least he wasn't old or ugly. The last Richardson was actually handsome, but there was a glimpse of surprise that I saw in his eyes. Though the man hid it well, I could still see that the arrangement had shocked him. I'd bet there wasn't an emergency that made him leave earlier. I'd bet he was upset about meeting me. I

Perry"You got a name?" Samuel demanded the second I entered his house. This was his main house. Samuel was safest being here since he had a panic room installed in his living quarters."I got a username. I already had my IT guy following up on the information. We should get the name by today." "Good...good. Damn it, Perry. I can't be hiding out. If Father knew..." "He won't." I interrupted his words, confidently saying so. Because this was what he paid me for. "You want me here?" I know he would cause I was the only one he trusted. He knew other guards wouldn't be as loyal as me. He knew I'd kept his secrets. This was why I couldn't imagine how he'd react if he found out that I'd been secretly dating his sister. Samuel would be furious. He might even kill me and be done with me. "Of course, I want you here. I'll make the request. Pack a bag. Take one of the guest bedrooms. It'll be like the old days." He chuckled, clearly trying to take things easy though I could see faint worry

AlixIt took me another two months before I had the courage and the calmness to go see my fiance. I've stayed in Milan and away from my family for two whole months. We were rarely in contact, I think they thought that I was being subtle and slowly seducing Larry while I was away from them.I was just glad that Tyler didn't intervene when I told him to give me time and not tell his brother about me or the baby. I didn't know what to think about Larry's brother, my brain was too messed up to care what he thought about me. My baby was healthy and that was the only thing that mattered to me. If anything, I'd live happily ever after with my baby in a small country where no one knew who I was. Wishfully thinking, I've been imagining it a lot since the first time I heard my baby's heartbeat. I was scheduled for another doctor's appointment next week, and I am still not sure I want to know the gender of my baby. I wanted it to be a surprise. I smiled, putting my hand above my pregnant belly

AlixI was nervous. He wanted me to meet him at his hotel. Surely we have so much to talk about, but he also said that he didn't want my brother's men seeing us. "So that's who has been following me? Sometimes I feel like I'm being watched, but when I saw you I assumed it was only you." "That lazy guy is still waiting in his car in the parking lot. We're good here." "Oh okay,""Samuel put him there to watch over you. He means well, Alix.""Yeah? So well that he told me to seal the deal with Larry and said to have an affair with you if I still wanted to be with you?" I tilted my head, wanting to see his reaction, and I smirked, seeing his surprised expression. "Damn him. So he let you know that he knew about us too?" "Yep, you know how he is. He wanted everyone under his control. He wanted everyone to know that he had dirt on them. I'm okay with that. I'm used to it." I shrugged and was ready to carry on with my day when he reminded me about meeting back at his hotel. We parted w

AlixIt has been months. I didn't expect Perry to leave me for so long. I was expecting days, maybe weeks. But never months. I was closing in on my due date and I still didn't know what to do about my future. About our future. I still didn't know what to do when the baby arrived. "Alix, hey... I know that look. Stop worrying. Everything is going to be okay. You're safe and so is Perry." Yeah, I got, Aggy, Perry's colleague, texting me telling me that everything was under control and that she knew. She told me that they were working on a plan and that Perry would need to be careful in contacting me. I just wished things would settle sooner rather than later. "It's hormones. I'm good. I'm going to make dinner and then we're going to watch some crappy shows with ice cream.""I'm glad you agreed to stay with me. Your cooking is spectacular.""Uh-huh. I'm pretty sure they're the ones that make you come back by dinner time. At least you're not working late hours anymore." I didn't tell h
