Alexander's POVI signal to the bartender, I intimidate him with my gaze, even though it's not my intention, just seeing me makes him feel self”conscious. Moron. Maybe he's seen my security team hanging around the area, which gives him an idea of how important I am."Whiskey, two glasses," I order."Yes sir," he leaves because of what I asked.I look around, it's a common club, provocative dancing of women on a pole, the skill with which they move doesn't scare me, nor do I feel sexually attracted to any of them. That part of me no longer exists, Luna has done that, if she knew that I was frequenting a place like this she would die of jealousy, which would be absurd.A man may be surrounded by temptation, but if he has self”control, sin is not fertilized. I believe in that. I've already had two glasses of alcohol and I still haven't seen Santos, he chose the place himself, and he has the nerve to show up whenever he wants. He tried to stay calm, to not allow anger to absorb the litt
I can get to the elevator. Once inside the metal box I mark the number. In the elevator I sway from side to side, I'm still unstable, that's so frustrating. I just want to get to bed and fall asleep for hours.That's not what happens.Just opening the door and feeling the calm so marked that it becomes a desert area and endless loneliness, then I question so many things, is this how I'm going to end up? Not knowing the answer worries me, I already was before and it didn't worry me. But now it's not just me, there's also Luna and Matthew. In short, I am an imminent danger to them.I walk without eagerness from the main entrance until I take the railing of the stairs that takes me to the second floor. I stop in the middle of the hallway, just to see that there is a door that I don't want to push, it's ours. I don't like having to feel the absence of the bed on his side again. The night passes voraciously, slowly. So I lie down there, on the cold floor of the hallway and take out my cell
The morning is complete shit, my head hurts, it's a strong hangover that stabs me fiercely. I move in bed, with great difficulty, making a super human effort I manage to stand up and walk to the bathroom. I look in the vanity for a pill for this infernal pain. But I can't find a single one.Fuck.I go to the room again and everything spins around me. I want to lie back on the bed and forget about the world. It doesn't take long before someone is already knocking on the door so insistently that it overwhelms me.“Who plays? “I blurted out in a bad mood.I feel like my head is going to explode.“Sir, it's Fred. He is fine? “He asks on the other side of the door.Of course I'm not okay, this fucking hangover is killing me. I think about it in my head, I don't tell him, or he will think I'm literally dying and I'm not.“Fred, there's nothing to worry about, I'm getting ready, I'll be out in a moment.“As you order, do you need anything?"Yes, bring me a hangover pill, something that will
POV MoonI sigh from my place, I don't dare to interfere, plus I'm still knocked out by that snatched kiss. Seeing him there gives me a dose of something I needed, but dependence on it should not be something urgent, I myself have distanced myself, the fact that now I miss him so much frustrates me, even though missing him is completely normal.My heart goes at a faster pace than normal, I feel it twist inside when I notice it near our children, when I caress it and caress it. It is the image that I always want to keep in mind, not that it becomes a memory, that I fear most. Yes, I feel terror just thinking that it will be the last time, and I will not stop fearing because Alek continues to walk the tightrope of life and death, a single stumble and everything is over, I would not know how to live if that happened.“Alek, why don't you join us for lunch? “I ask him, it's an invitation to have breakfast, I don't think he's eaten yet, maybe he has, but my intuition is that he hasn't eate
He helps me wash the dishes, but I convince him to go get Matt and fix it. Only in this way will we save time, he agrees. Now that I'm alone in the kitchen, I think seriously about today. At the end of the day, will I be tempted to change the decision on a stay away from Alek? The truth is I don't know, since he arrived I feel that I must do something, change the facts and return to his side. Another force out of this world prevents it, I don't know if it's good or bad, the only thing I'm sure of is that my heart insists on keeping me upset.I've already finished scrubbing, so without wasting any time I'm going to take a shower, it's a short shower but enough to revitalize my skin. I don't want to dress so pompously or fall into exaggeration. Nice jeans and a pink shirt is a sober outfit, I do my hair and since I rarely put on makeup, I don't use as many products.I can't believe I'm ready though, Aleksander has taken a lifetime in the bathroom with Matt. When he poked his head out wi
He's not looking for anything eccentric, anything luxurious, and that comforts me a lot. It makes me feel better, because now just something cozy is enough. To do this we got into the car and returned to the center of New York. Passing by New York cheese cake in Lady M makes me think of that day I tried carrot cake, red velvet and cheese cake. A vicious triangle that I had a hard time getting out of every time I entered the typical New York bakery. And at the end of a week in the Big Apple there were quite a few. Other sweets I wanted to try were Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, donuts, cookies, but Dad said it was enough or else my tummy might hurt from being so gluttonous. He made me angry, but in the end I understood that he was doing it for my own good, he was just taking care of me and avoiding an argument with mom who is still quite overprotective.Although in Manhattan you can eat on every corner 24 hours a day, I don't think Alek would want to go to a place like that. In my opinion,
I'm relieved he's back in my apartment, nothing bad happened during the day. Alek stays in the middle of the living room, I don't know if he plans to stay a while longer, I wouldn't have a problem if he decides to do so. Furthermore, Matt does not leave his side, he clings to him with no intention of letting go."Daddy, I want to sleep with you," he declares, more than a request, he states it.Aleksander seeks my approval, sometimes he is so demanding, but this time he wants me to allow it. Since I don't want to spoil my little one's day, I have no choice but to nod. The celebration begins soon with their little jumps of joy.“Thank you,” Alek says and I just smile.…I'm in the room, suddenly exhausted, I see the bed and I want to hug it until I fall asleep, a nap would be ideal. But I don't, now Aleksander is in the apartment. So I go to take a shower, the water on my muscles feels good, I allow myself a moment of absolute relaxation.I'm already wasting the minutes I spend under th
"Stop thinking about the damn situation," he asks softly, he attracts me to him, regardless of the fact that we are still naked, although that is the least important thing after a hot encounter. I want more babies with you, Luna. That's what I want, and we will find the solution, leave the country if that is what you want. I was thinking about France, to be honest, what do you think?I open my eyes wide. France?! I can't believe it, I have never thought about moving from New York, I like the city, being close to family, but if the long”term situation warrants it then it is an option.“Are you talking about leaving the country? “I ask without giving credit. He nods. The truth is that it is not something we should take lightly, Aleksander.“I'm not taking anything relaxed, Luna. Plus it's only if you agree. That's in case you're pregnant, do you think?"I don't know if I'm pregnant," I say quickly, nervously.“But there is a possibility, love. You imagine? “He speaks anxiously, it seems
We all witness the moment when Dad kneels. Mom can't believe it and she covers her mouth. I cry in my place, Aleksander hugs me around the waist, tries to contain my emotion, but I'm already crying my eyes out. It's too much for me.“Elena, love of my life, I want you to be my wife, there is nothing and no one that can stop it. You are the best thing that has happened to me, in the midst of ups and downs or good and bad moments, love does not disappear, it is stronger than all the challenges we do not face. Today, in front of our children, kneeling before you, I ask you to agree to be my wife. Do you want to spend the rest of my life with me?"My God, of course," she exclaims overwhelmed, lets herself put on the beautiful ring and kisses him with love.Our ovation applauds them. I'm so happy. Then, after that kiss, what I least imagined happens, Aleksander goes and hugs his mother, he starts crying in her arms. We are all shocked by the scene, we dare not say anything. He looks like a
Four Months Later…Aleksander passes through every part of my body in a way that turns me on in seconds. He knows that we are not alone, almost the whole family is outside, however, he doesn't give a damn about continuing the groping. Although it doesn't appeal to me that he stops. At this point I need long caresses from him.“Alek…"Just a moment and that's it..." he says, growling into my mouth.I wrap my hands behind his neck and brush his lips. If you want to continue, go ahead, but I can't stop thinking about my family, how embarrassing it would be if they listened to us."Stop, I would like more but it's not the right time, Aleksander," I scold him and separate myself from his lips completely.He makes a funny face, I roll my eyes.“Do not leave me like this."You look like a little boy, huh," I point out, shaking my head.He sighs resignedly."Good," he places each of his palms on each side of my enormous belly. It's only four and a half months, but it's huge. Sometimes I think
“Hi Moon. Something has happened? “It's weird when you call me,” she adds, her tone not hiding her concern. She is surprised that I called her.“I need to tell you something, and no, of course I usually call you, why does he miss you? “I release taking a breath."I'm just saying," he remains silent for a moment.Every second counts, in one, everything will change... Not knowing how to know how to take it scares me.“Can you come? I know you have a lot of things to do, but it's urgent, Grace.“Oh really? You're scaring me, is it so serious that you can't tell me around here? “he says hesitantly”. You're making me nervous...His admission increases the nervousness in me. She's not the only one who feels this way."You should come, Grace." What I have to tell you is not easy to process, I must admit. But stay calm, the least I want is to see you upset. OK?“Did something happen to mom? “She asks quickly. A sob is heard.“No no, don't rush, we're fine. “Tell Dominic to come, he needs to be
“I trusted you, I thought you did too, what kind of joke is this, Luna? Do you know what it means to be married to a gangster? “She declares, shaking her head.“There is a lot of danger, I know father. But I love Aleksander. “I wish I could have told you this before, seriously,” I whisper with a wave of emotions in my soul that is difficult to deal with.“Why are you telling me now? “he says, breathing like a buffalo."Because..." I hold his gaze, although now the eye contact burns and tears my heart. I don't want to continue living like this, looking at you and deep down knowing that you don't know the truth. Dad, I just wanted to tell you because lying is like an avalanche that sooner or later was going to fall on us, it was better to avoid the surprise impact and say it now “ I lower my head and play with my hands “. I know mom should talk to you, but don't be hard on her.“You have no right, correction, they have no right to ask for compassion, they have lied to me. “This is unforg
“Oh really?"Yes, Luna," says Dad, he arrived a few minutes ago and I can't believe what he tells me."That's great, they deserve it," I admit, deeply moved.My father smiles and caresses the back of my hand on the table. He's been talking about proposing to mom. What she has had a suspicion. I think it's great that they can come together in such a special way.“So I was waiting for your approval, do you think Paris is the right setting? “She wants to know.“It is dad. He is ideal and romantic “ I express sincerely.What worries me about this is that Mom is still not honest with my father. I feel like there should be no secrets, and hiding what her ex”husband was is a huge secret that she can't keep forever. I know that means I have to confess the truth to my father too. I have no other choice.Maybe it's time, but that would ruin the hope he has of seeing mom at the altar. I don't want to hurt her desire, but her push to be honest with him is strong and she beats me to it."Dad, ther
I breathe hard, I find myself exalted under the darkness of the room. It's not dawn yet, and I hate it because it will be hard for me to go back to sleep. I have managed to calm the rapid beating of my heart, before it shook with fury inside me. The cold sudoe is still on my forehead and my nerves are afloat. Reliving that scene bites my senses. It was a horrible moment that fortunately passed.Without realizing it I regain sleep.I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. But not before turning around and looking at my little angel who is still peaceful on the quilt. He can sleep soundly, which I like. Once in the bathroom he starts brushing my teeth, it takes me longer than usual to get decent. Then comes a shower that relaxes me.Returning to the room, Matthew is already awake. He jumps on the bed until he falls on the same quilt. He woke up quite energetic. He gives me a hug and kiss good morning.“Do you want to shower in the bathroom? “I ask him.“Yeah! “She exclaims.So I prepa
And the cake did turn out well, we were already devouring the first bite. I tell him to take Matt a piece. I stay in the kitchen, cut a triangle and put it on a small plate. Then I go up to my room and take it to Aleksander.I was talking on the phone.I had the feeling that I should stay behind the door and listen to everything. Although the mental push to do so could cause him to fall flat on his face. Anyway I stay behind the wood.“Sarah was with Elmo? Fuck! "I didn't know she had even been close to my wife," she declares angrily.I can not believe it.The memory comes to my mind.Flashback“C”can I know what your name is? “I whisper and I think I should have kept quiet, I may have taken my question inappropriately.What was he thinking when he blurted out?"Why the hell would I give you my name?" “he says hostile, I'm not surprised by his attitude “. But, since you want to know and you'll be my new partner, if Elmo doesn't think of selling you, then yes, I'll tell you my name, Sa
He didn't expect to see Grace here, what credible explanation is he going to give her now? I can't hide some annoyance."What happened to you, Aleksander?" She”she wants to know, she is the first to stand up, she covers her mouth shocked by what she sees.I must act quickly."Grace, don't be upset," I ask her and make her sit down again. Stay here.I take Alek's hand and take him with me to the room. I get into the bathroom with him and start looking for the first aid kit. My hands shake throughout the entire process.“Don't worry…“Don't worry me? “I blurt out angrily"You can't tell me not to do it, Alek," he growled. Look at your condition, you should go to a doctor."I'm not going to the hospital, it's just blood and it's not even mine," he says as if nothing had happened.“Now, whose life have you taken away? “I question, devastated by his atrocities. Take off your shirt, Aleksander, you stink.“I'm sorry."Don't say you're sorry when you're not, dammit," she roared angrily.His
Now there is something extra to worry about, which increases the sleeplessness all night.During the early morning I move uncomfortably on the bed, I haven't managed to sleep a wink. Someone enters the room, I know it's Alek, his silhouette under the darkness is familiar to me. He lies down next to me and hugs me around the waist.“What are you doing awake? Don't tell me I was the culprit.The thing about Grace can't get out of my head. I just hope everything is okay, although not receiving even a sign from her indicates that nothing worse has happened. I don't know if she should tell Aleksander, she won't tell anyone anyway.“No, you didn't wake me up, I haven't been able to sleep for a long time. I thought you were staying with Matthew all night.Sighs."I can't be without you, he fell asleep a long time ago," he explains, kissing my cheek. What's happening to you?"It's Grace, she called me a few hours ago," I admit uneasily.“And what happened to your sister? “She questions."She'
