Xander's POV.My eyes twisted to Michael Paige and I saw the twisted smile on his face, a grin that could've been mistaken for pride. He slapped me on the back, his hand lingering a moment longer than necessary. There was something in his gaze, something almost...approving. As if he'd been waiting for me to prove myself in some way.“I think it's time we get out of here,” Angelo said, his voice cutting through the moment, drawing me back to reality. He stood across the room, still keeping the remaining partners of my father pinned to their seats. Fear had turned their faces pale, their eyes wide with terror, unable to move.I glanced at my father's lifeless body one last time, disfigured and crumpled up on the table, his face a mask of agony, his blood staining the floor.They were all the same. Monsters who took from others without hesitation, without remorse. And though I felt no desire to spill more blood, I knew that I had to. These men didn't deserve to breathe. They don't dese

Iris's Pov.I grinned, my heart suddenly racing as his words hit me like a bolt of lightning. My forehead lowered to his and for a moment I was lost in the electric pull between us. The world seemed to pause as I absorbed what he had just said. Those three simple words that sent a wave of joy flooded through me.I love you.It was so raw, so unexpected, yet it felt like the most natural thing in the world. I felt like everything was as it was meant to be.My smile grew wider and I couldn't help the surge of happiness that made my chest feel light, as though I was floating.“But just so you know,” He said, his eyes twinkling in the light. “I've also had a crush on you since the summer you turned fifteen.”“What?” I blushed, lowering my gaze.He laughed as he nodded, a warm genuine sound that spread between us.It was hard to believe Xander had a crush on me too, because back then, he always acted like I was invisible and didn't exist. But I guess some people are just destined to be wit

Iris's Pov. I didn't need him to say it again. I'd follow him anywhere. My heart beat faster as I trailed behind him. The sounds of our footsteps echo in the house. We made our way to the outdoor pool, the crisp night air hitting my skin like a sharp kiss. He set the glasses down on a small table by the pool and turned to face me. The same smile that had haunted my thoughts for a very long time, crept onto his lips. I stood by the sliding door, watching him. I could see the hunger and challenge in his eyes. “Come here, Iris.” He called softly, sitting on a chair, his posture confident and powerful. He spread his legs slightly as though the world was his and in some ways, it was. His dark gaze lingered on me, unwavering. I swallowed hard, a shiver running down my spine. Despite the chill in the air, the heat I was feeling was undeniable. My heart raced. I moved towards him slowly, deliberately, my gaze never leaving his. “What are we doing here?” I asked, my voice barely above a w

Iris's Pov.The last two days have been nothing short of amazing. Xander and I have been out in the city; he knew it like the back of his hand, showing me the best restaurants, cafes, and beautiful buildings, among other things. It was the middle of July, and there were a lot of tourists around Italy at this time of year, which made it even more beautiful.He was taking me to one of his favorite restaurants tonight which I was really excited about. I sometimes forget that I'm dating someone so rich and successful even though I'm in his huge mansion pretty much every day.I had just woken up and was changing out of my sleep shirt before walking towards the smell of breakfast. The first thing I saw when I walked into the kitchen was Xander's bare back and my cheeks instantly heated as memories started flooding in. I watched as his muscles flexed while he cooked and I walked closer to wrap my hands around his waist.He tensed up a bit before relaxing against me. “Don't sneak up on me lik

Xander's POV.Iris and I were supposed to go out to dinner tonight but I noticed that the sudden news about Carlos and Ethan teaming up and the fact that Carlos was after her now, possibly to get revenge on me was a lot for her to take in.Instead, we ordered her favorite food to eat at home. Of course, she wanted pizza.After we had eaten, she called her parents to check up on them and to tell them about the vacation we'd be taking the next day. Neither of us mentioned anything about Carlos or Ethan. I know she probably wanted to but that would only mean proving Julian right that being with me was a disaster waiting to happen.It was currently eleven pm and she had just finished showering. Normally, I would've joined her but I just felt like she needed some time alone and when she was done, I would be here for her.My gaze rose from my phone as I sat on the edge of the bed and my frown turned into a smile when I saw her walk up to me only wearing a towel.The fun thing with Iris was
