Kelvin's POV

The touch of her skin was magic. Feeling her breasts on my chest was all it would have taken to undo me. But she needed to be taught a lesson.

My cock had been hard since we started kissing, and I was aching to bend her over and ravish her. It had surprised me when she took the initiative.

The moment she stormed out of my office, slamming the door hard enough to rattle the glass, I let out a slow breath, my fingers tightening around the cigarette between them.

Fuck.

I took another long drag, letting the smoke cloud my senses, but it did nothing to drown out the image burned into my mind. She had laid there, flushed and breathless, sprawled out on my office floor in nothing but her underwear.

She had looked so fucking perfect.

My jaw clenched as heat surged through me, my body betraying the cold control I had forced myself to maintain in front of her. I’d pushed her away, toyed with her, because letting her think she had any power over me was dangerous.

But fuck, she did have power over me. At least over the guy down there. I looked down to see him straining hard against my still loosened flies.

I ground out the cigarette and leaned back in my chair, eyes shutting as the memory of her flooded my mind.

Her wide, desperate eyes. The way her fingers had trembled against my skin. The soft, breathy moans that had spilled from her lips.

My hand drifted to the front of my slacks, palming the painful hardness there.

I let myself remember the way her body had arched toward me, the way she had looked up at me like I was the only thing she wanted in the world… I was lost.

A low groan rumbled from my throat as I unbuckled my belt, my breaths coming faster. I wrapped my fingers around my cock, stroking slowly, teasing, the same way I had teased her.

I could still see her, her body writhing, her lips parted—

“Fuck,” I rasped, gripping harder, my hips jerking slightly off the chair.

She had no idea what she did to me.

No idea how close I had been to losing control.

No idea that if I had let myself have her, I wouldn’t have been able to stop.

My fingers yearned to touch her, my mouth to taste her.

A delicious shudder shot through me as the tension coiled tighter, pleasure building, every stroke pushing me closer to the edge as the image of her consumed me.

With a sharp exhale, I cummed into my hand, pleasure ripping through me like a violent storm.

I sat there for a moment, chest rising and falling, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. Then, as reality crashed back in, a slow smirk curled on my lips.

It grew into a low, dark chuckle that slipped past my lips as I leaned back in my chair, dragging a hand through my hair.

“My old man always told me,” I muttered to myself, exhaling a trail of smoke, “think with your head, not your dick.”

Smart advice. But fuck, it barely worked when it came to her.

I adjusted my belt, my body still pulsing with the aftermath of release, but the hunger? That didn’t fade. If anything, it only made me crave more.

She had no idea what she did to me.

She thought storming out of here, all fiery rage and wounded pride, was some kind of victory. That she had taken back control. But she couldn’t hide the way she’d looked at me with need and hunger, fighting against something she didn’t want to admit.

I smirked, tapping ash into the tray beside me.

She could scream, curse, and run all she wanted. But she wanted me. I saw it in the way her body responded, the way she trembled under my touch, the way her breath hitched every time I got too close.

And whether she liked it or not, she’d be back.

A sharp knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.

I straightened in my chair, rolling my shoulders back before exhaling a slow breath.

"Come in," I called, my voice smooth, controlled like I hadn’t just been drowning in the thought of doing crazy things to a particular female.

The door opened, and Dylan stepped in. His usual smirk was gone, replaced by something grim.

The moment our eyes met, I knew whatever he had to say wasn’t good.

“What is it?” I asked, flicking ash off my cigarette before putting it out completely.

He closed the door behind him and turned to face me. His lips were pressed into a tight line as he stepped forward.

“Betrayal.” His voice was cold. “It’s the worst thing for you, isn’t it?”

My fingers curled into a fist on the desk.

Dylan never danced around words, but tonight, there was a weight behind them that I couldn't ignore.

I leaned forward, my jaw tightening.

"Who?"

His eyes darkened. "I don't have names yet, but I have a trail."

A dangerous smile curled my lips, slow and sharp.

"Then find them," I said, my voice like steel. "Because whoever is involved..." I let the words hang in the air before finishing in a low, venomous whisper—

"They're already dead."

  • Flames of love and war   Chapter 51

    Laura's POVMonday mornings were already a pain in the ass, but this one? This one felt like the universe was deliberately messing with me.I stood in front of the mirror, brushing through my hair with a mechanical rhythm, my eyes scanning my own reflection. The traces of last night still lingered in my slightly puffy eyes, but I’d had worse. After a few rounds of whiskey with Katie, I had convinced myself that today, I would be different. I wouldn’t let him get to me.Strictly professional. That’s all it had to be.I inhaled deeply, smoothing down my fitted black pencil skirt and straightening my white blouse. My blazer hung crisply over my shoulders, the picture of composure. Good. That’s what I needed today, composure, control, and distance.I glanced at my phone, calculating the best way to get to the office. The bus was cheap, but it meant squeezing in with half-asleep commuters, dodging coffee spills, and pretending not to notice when someone’s music was blasting through their e

  • Flames of love and war   Chapter 52

    Laura's POVMy eyes darted to the window as the familiar glass-fronted building of my office loomed closer. My pulse kicked up a notch when Kelvin made no move to slow down."Kelvin," I warned, my voice sharp. "You missed the stop.""Did I?" he mused, not bothering to look at me as he smoothly turned into the office parking lot.Panic gripped me. "Kelvin, I swear to God, turn this car around!"He let out a low chuckle, clearly entertained by my distress. "Relax, Laura. It’s just a parking lot. No need to have a meltdown.""Are you insane?" I hissed, my hands gripping the seatbelt. "People are going to see us together!""And?" He pulled into a prime parking space near the entrance and cut the engine. "You do work here, don’t you?"I stared at him in horror. "You are unbelievable."Before I could make a run for it, he was already out of the car. My heart stuttered as he strode around to my side, his long legs eating up the distance in mere seconds. I fumbled with the door handle, but be

    Laura's POVThe moment I stepped into the restroom, I let out a deep breath, pressing my hands against the cool marble sink. The coffee stain on my blouse clung to my skin, the sticky sensation only fueling my irritation.I had tolerated a lot since stepping into this office, whispers, judgmental stares, and now, Emma’s ridiculous antics. But this? This was the final straw.My fingers tightened around my phone as I pulled it out and scrolled through my contacts. There it was…her number. The PA assigned to me ever since I became Mrs. Aldoracco. A position I had barely acknowledged, let alone used to my advantage. But right now, I was done playing nice.I hit the call button.The phone barely rang twice before she picked up. "Mrs. Aldoracco? How may I assist you?"For a split second, I hesitated at the title. It still felt foreign and steange. But I pushed the thought aside. "I need a fresh set of clothes brought to my office. Immediately."There was no need for explanations. She didn't

    Kelvin's POVSeated in my office, I reviewed the latest financial reports, the numbers aligning perfectly with my expectations. Business was thriving, but my mind wasn’t on profits today.A soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. “Come in.”Dylan stepped inside. “Sir, I thought you should know. Mrs. Aldoracco has ordered an investigation into her stepmother and stepsister.”I raised a brow in surprise, setting my pen down. “Laura did?”“Yes, sir.” Dylan nodded. “She instructed her assistant to gather a full report on their whereabouts, activities, and associations. She wants everything.”For a moment, I leaned back in my chair, considering. My little wife had finally decided to bite back. Interesting.A slow smirk played at my lips as I turned my gaze back to Dylan. “Approve it. Without question.”Dylan didn’t hesitate. “Understood.”He turned to leave, but I stopped him with a flick of my hand. “And Dylan?”He paused, waiting for my next instruction.“Make sure she gets ev

    Laura's POVThe city lights flickered, painting the streets in a beautiful mix of gold and silver, but all I saw was red.He left me.I had waited. Like a fool, I had sat in that damn office, watching the clock, assuming he would, at the very least, have the decency to take me home. But no, Kelvin Aldoracco was too much of a bastard for even that.My fingers curled into fists as I walked toward the nearest bus stop. The heels I wore pinched my feet, but I refused to let myself stumble. I wouldn't give him that satisfaction, even if he wasn't here to see it.The bus arrived with a hiss, and I stepped inside, dropping a few bills into the slot before finding a seat near the window.Maybe I should ask Katie how to hide a dead body.Not that I was planning anything. Yet.But the idea of stuffing Kelvin into a trunk and tossing him into the river had a certain poetic appeal. Maybe I’d start with his stupid, expensive ties. Strangle him with one just for the irony.The thought made me smirk

    Laura's POVThe moment I stepped out of his room, my heart hammered wildly against my ribs like a bitch.Holy. Shit. I did that. I actually did that. The moment replayed in my mind like a perfectly scripted scene, the way I had shoved him back, the way I had sauntered out like I wasn’t seconds away from completely losing control. And then the way he had stood there, stark naked, with that dark, hungry look in his eyes… A strangled squeal slipped past my lips before I could stop it. I pressed a hand over my mouth, muffling the sound as I hurried down the hallway. My entire body buzzed with adrenaline, a dizzy mix of triumph and absolute disbelief. Kelvin Aldoracco was a bastard. An infuriating, smug, cheating bastard. But for once, I had the upper hand. I practically threw myself into my bedroom, slamming the door shut behind me. Leaning against it, I exhaled shakily, trying to calm the fire still burning under my skin. My hands trembled, but with exhilaration. A giddy

    Kelvin's POVThe moment Laura walked out of my room last night, head high, voice sharp, and eyes blazing with defiance, I knew. I was in trouble. And fuck, did I love it. I had expected fury. Maybe even tears. But that? That little show she had put on? The way she had smirked at me and sauntered away, knowing full well I was left standing there, naked and fuming? Damn.I let out a low chuckle, shaking my head as I sprawled back on my bed. She thought she had won. Thought she could shake me. Cute. I ran a hand through my damp hair, still smirking to myself. Laura had always had fire in her, but this? This was different. This was a woman who was ready to play the game. And I fucking loved the game. I reached for my phone and dialed Dylan. He picked up on the second ring, his voice gruff with sleep. "Boss?"“We’re going underground,” I said simply. A pause. Then a knowing sigh. “That bad?”I grinned. “That good.” Dylan chuckled. "Alright, give me thirty. I’ll meet

    Laura's POVControl. That was what this was about. I stood there, staring at Kelvin, my heart still racing from the bomb he had just dropped. Training? Seriously? Like I was some kind of soldier? Like I needed to be constantly on edge, waiting for an attack? This was his revenge. It had to be. He hadn’t liked that I walked out on him last night. Hadn’t liked that I had held my ground, pushed back, refused to let him have the last word. And now, here he was, demanding control again. I exhaled slowly, keeping my expression neutral even as irritation simmered beneath my skin. "Let me get this straight," I said, crossing my arms. "You want me to train again because of this... gathering?" Kelvin didn't blink. "Yes." "And what exactly is the gathering?" A muscle in his jaw ticked, like he was debating how much to tell me. Which only irritated me more. I raised an eyebrow. "Kelvin." "It's a meeting," he finally said. "One that happens every few years between certain...

    Laura's POVI might have just gotten us both into trouble.I thought to myself, my mind racing with fear and adrenaline. This had to be the Rocci's doing. They were the only ones who had a reason to want me dead.As Kelvin kept driving, weaving in and out of traffic, another shot rang out. This time, Kelvin grunted, his face twisted in pain."Kelvin!" I screamed, my heart racing with fear.He didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the road as he continued to drive. I scrambled up from the floor, my eyes scanning his body for any signs of injury.A dark stain was spreading across his shoulder, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. He was hit!He didn't as much as flinch, his face still twisted in pain. But his eyes remained fixed on the road, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun.Without taking his eyes off the road, he fired a shot at the sedan's tires. The sound of shattering glass and screeching rubber filled the air as the sed

  • Flames of love and war   Chapter 62

    Laura's POV I walked out of the boutique, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over me. I had stood up for myself, and I had come out on top. As I stepped into the mall's corridor, I noticed one of the attendants from the boutique hurrying after me. "Miss, wait!" she called, her voice urgent. I turned, curious, and she caught up to me, her eyes wide with worry. "Please, be careful," she whispered, glancing around nervously. I raised an eyebrow, confused. "What do you mean?" The attendant's voice dropped to a whisper. "You just offended one of the Roccis. They're... not people to be trifled with." I felt a shiver run down my spine as I remembered Stacy's words. "Victor Rocci's daughter," I murmured. The attendant nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yes. You don't understand what you've just done. The Roccis... they have power. They can ruin people's lives with just one phone call." I felt a surge of unease, but I stood my ground. "I'm not afraid of them," I said, trying to so

  • Flames of love and war   Chapter 61

    Laura's POV The bright lights of the shopping mall made me squint as we stepped inside. The cool air-conditioning was a welcome relief from the warmth outside, but my mood was still sour from being dragged out of bed. Kelvin walked beside me, his usual commanding presence making people instinctively step aside while some admired his godly handsomeness. His expression was unreadable, but I knew him well enough to sense the satisfaction beneath his calm exterior. He enjoyed dragging me along to these things, probably just to irritate me. Still, I wasn’t going to complain too much. If I had to suffer through three days of social torture, I might as well look good while doing it. We walked into one of the most luxurious boutiques in the mall, and I immediately started browsing. The soft fabric, the intricate designs, yeah, I was in heaven. I picked up a deep red evening gown, running my fingers over the smooth material. Just as I was about to lift it off the rack, another hand l

  • Flames of love and war   Chapter 60

    Kelvin's POVThe dim glow of my desk lamp cast long shadows across the office as I skimmed through the latest shipment reports. Something wasn’t adding up. The numbers were there, but they didn’t match reality. A knock at the door. "Come in," I said without looking up. Dylan stepped inside, his usual smugness absent. That alone was a red flag. He closed the door behind him, his posture tense, arms crossed. "We have a problem," he said flatly. I exhaled slowly, shutting the laptop and giving him my full attention. "Of course, we do. What now?" Dylan tossed a file onto my desk. "Some of our goods from the last shipment never made it to the warehouse." I opened the file, scanning the details. My jaw tightened. The missing cargo wasn’t small, whoever pulled this off had either serious guts or a death wish. "How much?" I asked, my voice colder than before. "Enough to make you want to kill someone," Dylan said, his tone dry but his eyes sharp. "And enough that if we don’t

  • Flames of love and war   Chapter 59

    Laura's POVI stumbled into the mansion, my legs trembling beneath me. Every muscle in my body screamed in protest, begging for mercy. I was done. Finished. Exhausted.Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. Everything hurt. My legs felt like they had been through a meat grinder, my arms were noodles, and my pride? Oh, my pride was dead. Dylan had wrecked me. I had spent the entire session getting tossed around like a damn rag doll, and now every single step I took was pure torture. And it was all Kelvin’s fault. “That manipulative, arrogant, controlling son of a—” I gritted out as I dragged myself down the hallway, cursing him under my breath. If I had one ounce of energy left in my body, I’d march straight to his office, flip his stupid, expensive desk over, and wring his neck. But as it was, I barely had the strength to make it to my room in one piece. Katie, who had been waiting for me in the living room, took one look at me and burst into laughter. "Oh my God, you look
