Ava's p.o.vI remain rooted in place taking in the chaos surrounding me like a cold blanket, some were running trying to find safety. While majority were actually running towards where the gun shots was heard.They must be Vince men.Talking about Vince I turn to see the spot he was once stood was empty, I scan the hall searching for him. Our gaze lock for a split second before he Sprint out the door probably walking into danger.I didn't see my parents and siblings anywhere, neither Vince parents, they must have gone to safety. I just hope that nobody get hurts.I remain standing not knowing what to do in the middle of flying bullets, I should probably run to find somewhere safe because that's what a normal person would do.

Ava p.o.vI woke up, groaning when I sat up. My neck is sour, it's hurts like hell, it must be from sleeping on one position for too long. I squint letting my eyes adjust to the sharpness of the sunlight flooding the room, I reach for my phone on the bed side table.I check the time, its read 3:22pm. I gasped softly, I have been sleeping for three hours straight even after all the sleep I had in the plane, and right now I'm still feeling weak and sleepy. How exhausted am I? I stood up groggily walking to what I assume is the bathroom, I am still in the loose top and short from the plane ride and I kinda of stink. I really need a shower, I open a door and thankfully it is a bathroom, I walk in and brush my fingers through the large bathtub at the end.The tub is so large it could contain three adults and there would still be some space, the tub has a Jacuzzi which made it more exciting to bath in it. Quickly I turn on the tap to fill the tub, while I strip from my clothes.I jump in w

Ava p.o.vMy eyes flutters open but I blinked them shot from the sharpness of the sunlight creeping into the room from the window, I squint a little letting my sight to adjust to the brightness. I stretch my stiff limbs only to be stopped by a weight, that's when I noticed the strong veiny arm that is wrapped around my mid stomach.I didn't have to look to know who it was, a smile creep it's way to my lips at the realisation that he's here. I must admit, I did miss him, a lot.I'm glad he's safe and here with me.I remain in his embrace basking in the warmth he provides, and shamelessly enjoying the way he had me spoon from behind. It's quite unbelievable how I found myself married to a man like this, Vince is the perfect description of the type of man I want, well except for the mafia part.I didn't admit it before, that was because I was confused and angry. But I'm glad to have getting married to him, instead of giving my body and my all to some unserious guy who isn't ready for lif

Ava p.o.vThe car ride back to the villa was painfully silence as the air hang with tension and anticipation, it is suffocating and scary at the same time.Dario's phone rang."Yes we're close, we be there in a minute or so." Dario spoke in the phone and listen to whoever called him, I'm guessing it's Vince because of how tensed he is.Why is Vince so angry anyway! Yes, I was wrong, not just wrong but also foolish for not telling him I was going out. I should have realized that I wasn't that single girl I used to be, now I'm married and I'm supposed to tell my husband my whereabouts but Vince is just building a mountain out of a mole hill."No, they were alone. Yes I'm sure." Dario again snapping me out of my thoughts.I dread facing Vince right now, and running away from my problems is not an option.I suck in deep breath as we pulled up in front of the villa, I exhaled sharply before opening the door and stepping out of the car. I followed behind Tricia and Dario inside the house, c

Ava's p.o.vVince sat on the edge of the bed, pulling me to lay on my stomach over his thighs. I made to get up but he pull me back down."Don't move." And with that simple command, all the fight in my body left me. So now I'm kinda of half dangling from his thighs, I bite my bottom lip to seal in the gasp that threaten to escape me, when he started roaming his hands on my butt cheek.I gasped and moan loudly.The sound of a slap rang across the room, then the slight pain on my butts registered in my brain. Did Vince just spanked me?That's not what even left me breathless and gasping for air, it's was the intense sexual sensation that flooded all parts of my body and the desire for more that is left behind.What the f*ck? How come just a spank could make me feel this way, and the amusing part was that I'm thirsty for more.Faster than I could recover from the shock, another slap landed on my ass again and I let out an loud embarrassing moan, I dug my nails into the duvet I had gripe

Vincenzo p.o.vA streak of warm sunlight pierced through the closed curtains and hits Vincenzo's sleeping face, He grunt from the sudden disturbance from the light and laid in silence for a moment before lifting his eyelids that is still heavy with sleep.He surprisingly still felt like going back to sleep, why won't he. When he barely let them had any sleep, Vincenzo likes to think it's not entirely his fault that his dick always get excited at the sight of her and always energetic.She looks so beautiful and hot, even when she's asleep, she still looks sexy. Like a trained seductress, and Vincenzo could resist her. They have sex again two more times throughout the night, as we speak. His crotch is straining painfully at the mere feeling of her soft delicate body laying partially on his body.He wants her again but restrain from having his way, she must be sore from their previous activities and didn't want to add to it, even though it's killing him.A satisfactory grin stretch on hi

Ava p.ovI came out of the bathroom with a towel around my chest after a well deserved warm bath, The room was empty, I had half expected to see Vince on the bed with his laptop or even on the couch. But he isn't, maybe he step out for breakfast or probably to make a call or something.I shrug and make my way to the walk in closet at the other side of the room, rummaging through my things looking for something light to wear. Since the weather outside is boiling, ok, I exaggerated that but the sun is hot.I settle for a short that stop at mid-thigh and a plain tank top, I skip down the stairs to the kitchen as my stomach rumbling warning me to feed it. Entering the kitchen, I stop at the door staring as a middle-aged woman runs about shakingly setting the dinning table.Vince who sat at the head of the table was he busy with his phone, oblivious of how frightened the woman is by his presence. I walk in taking a seat beside Vince, his gaze left his phone and settled on me, I look away b

I eyed her.This is our first quiet moment alone, since Vince was so determined to lock me up in his beach house and keeping me glued to his side. I had to follow him everywhere he went, bathroom, study, closet, everywhere. I was frustrated, I even went as far as begging him to let me out for some fresh air but he won't budge, claiming I had disobeyed him by leaving the house when he told me not to.Please is walking to the sea side leaving the house? For Christ sake I was still in his property.The only reason I'm sitting here in a five star restaurant with Tricia, is because Vince is here for business and since I'm his personal bodyguard I tagged along."Don't give me that eye, did you not see his angry scary face that day?

Adriano’s POVSix months later…“Now that we’re done with the ceremony, can we go on a proper tour of New York like I was promised?” Danny asked.Roselyn hit him upside the head and said, “Don’t be insensitive. Today is your sister’s day.”“Ouch, Mom! That hurt,” he complained.“And you deserve it,” Melanie’s voice cut into the conversation.“There’s my favorite nurse!” Sam yelled.“Dad, tone it down,” she said.“Nonsense. I would shout it at the top of my lungs if I had to so you can know how proud I am of you,” he replied.She smiled at her father and went to hug him then she did the same with her mom and brother who all congratulated her before she stopped in front of me.“I always knew you were something else, little nurse,” I told her. “From the first day I set my eyes on you, I knew you were better than the rest of us.”“Stop it you’re going to make me cry,” she said.I opened my arms and she stepped into me for a hug.My girl was finally a registered nurse and today was her gra

Melanie’s POVThe ride back to the house was very quiet.Throughout the ride home, I couldn’t help but think that none of this would have happened if I just had a conversation with Adriano.He was the man I fell in love with and even though I left him, he didn’t hesitate before coming for me.I know he was very relieved in the heat of the moment but I couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen once the adrenaline wore off and he could think a bit more clearly.One thing I knew was that I was going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to him.Adriano was more honorable than people knew. I never thought I would be one of those women who would be pleased because her man killed people for her but as it turned out, I was one of those women.He pulled up to the house, which seemed to have more security guards on duty than normal and I knew it was all because of me.A few hours away, we were celebrating Christmas in bliss but I just had to go and ruin everything for every

Adriano’s POVThe warehouse was a hive of chaos, but I didn’t hear the shouting or the echoing footsteps behind me. All I saw was Melanie. She sat bound to a chair, her face pale, and her lip split, a streak of blood trailing down her chin. Alex Pushkin had a gun pressed to her temple. My blood ran cold. I raised my weapon, keeping my voice steady. “Let her go.” Behind me, my men spread out, weapons aimed and ready. They waited for my signal, but I couldn’t give it—not yet. One wrong move, one miscalculation, and Melanie could die. Pushkin laughed, a guttural sound that grated on my nerves. “You think you scare me? I’ve killed better men than you.” His hand twitched, and I saw the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. Good. He was scared, even if he didn’t want to admit it. Fear made people sloppy. I needed to buy time, distract him long enough for my men to position themselves. “Erica,” I said, shifting my focus to the woman who stood off to the side, smug and self-satisfie

Melanie’s POVI woke up to the biting chill of a dark, unfamiliar room, my head pounding as if it had been split in two. My wrists ached from the tight ropes binding them, and my ankles felt just as constricted."You’re awake," Erica drawled, her tone laced with mock concern. She folded her arms and leaned against the rusted frame of the door, watching me like a predator eyeing its prey. "How are you feeling, darling?" I didn't respond. My throat was dry, and my words caught somewhere between anger and fear. God, how could I have been foolish enough to let, Erica manipulate me? I should have known that she was up to no good when Alice told me that Adriano left her at the altar.I guess now I was paying the price for my foolishness."Cat, got your tongue?" she asked, smirking. "Or maybe it’s the shock of realizing you’ve been so incredibly stupid." Her words stung more than I cared to admit. I should have known better. Adriano had always been honest with me in his own way, even w

Adriano’s POVSomething was off.I didn’t know what but the moment I ended the call with Nik and sat down to work, something in my head kept nagging at me.At first, I thought it was the unusual silence in the house but I figured that was because everyone was probably asleep.I had expected Melanie to come find and chastize me for taking too long but since she didn’t, that meant that the day finally got to her and she succumbed to sleep.My girl was a rockstar tonight, and like I expected, she had my entire family eating from the palm of her hands throughout the dinner. I was sure they saw exactly what I did from the moment I set my eyes on her.By now Nik should be mobilizing the guys to infiltrate the last warehouse. He got intel that Pushkin finally moved all the girls to one place and he just got the location. I trusted Nik could handle this without me, after all, he had just singlehandedly negotiated a new deal with the Irish.Tonight I was going to end it sleeping next to the wo

Melanie’s POVThe cool night air felt like needles against my skin as I hurried down the street, my duffel bag slung over my shoulder. My legs felt like lead, but I pushed forward, every step putting more distance between me and the house that was once my prison but later became my home. The streets were quiet, the kind of silence that normally would have scared me, but tonight I welcomed it. I avoided the well-lit areas, sticking to the shadows, hoping none of Adriano's guards would see me. My pulse raced with every second, and my breath was uneven.I had no idea where I was going, but I didn’t care. All that mattered was getting away and I was lucky enough to have been able to avoid the guards. I guess the weeks of walking the grounds and studying their routine paid off.Luckily, a cab finally came into view at the corner of the street, its headlights a beacon of hope. I flagged it down, my arm trembling as I waved. The driver, an older man with kind eyes, rolled down the window.

Melanie’s POVThe first image made my heart stop.It was of a young girl who was barely a teenager. She was sitting on a dingy mattress in what looked like a warehouse, her eyes hollow, her body too thin. Behind her, a shadowy figure loomed a man I didn't recognize but I could bet my life on it that it was her oppressor.My throat tightened as I flipped to the next photograph and the next. Each one was worse than the last. Girls, so young they could barely be called women, trapped in squalor, their faces etched with fear.I couldn't breathe.At first, I thought, no, and hoped that this was evidence Adriano had gathered to shut down a trafficking ring. It had to be. He couldn't possibly be involved in this. He could kill a man but there was no way he was responsible for harming innocent girls.But then I saw it, rather I saw him. And there was no mistaking the fact that he was the one because I recognized Nik beside him.They were both holding onto girls and leading them to God knows w

It was just too beautiful. I’ve never owned anything as expensive as this and I was so scared to ask him how much it cost.We already exchanged gifts in the morning so I wasn’t expecting anything more from him.In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Alice was still awake by the time we got home.“For a moment I thought you both were going to spend the night there,” Alice said when we got into the living room."It's really late, Alice, and I'm sure you've had a long day. You should be sleeping," Adriano said.“I couldn’t sleep when I knew how important today was to Melanie.

Melanie’s POVThe soft glow of candlelight and the twinkle of garlands wrapped around the staircase banister made the dining room feel almost magical. The air was thick with the aromas of roasted meats, spiced wine, and fresh-baked rolls, making my stomach grumble in anticipation. Platters of steaming food filled every inch of space. Roast beef surrounded by caramelized vegetables, golden potatoes dusted with rosemary, bowls of vibrant salads, and an assortment of bread rolls that looked fresh out of the oven. When we heard no movement on the steps, Zoey gave a sharp clap of her hands and called out to the men, her voice cutting through the hum of conversation. “Dinner is ready! Boys, come join us!” she said.I heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs as Adriano and the rest of the men made their way over.
