This is Book 2 from Book 1 Moments with My Devil.Thank you everyone that is continuing this journey with my characters 🥰 I appreciate all the support and I hope you enjoy reading to the end! Please leave gems to show your support of book.Ethan POV -We left that Hell in Worthington two months ago for a better life and now I wish we hadn't. I failed Alley and sitting here in this hospital after my best friend died in my arms, I knew that Christian was the only man that she could ever truly love. He was her soul mate and when you take away someone's soul there isn't anything left to them but a shell full of darkness.The first week we got to Texas we stayed in a hotel and did absolutely nothing. Alley was functional but there was an emptiness in her eyes. She was tired of this life and she was only sixteen.Layla tried keeping our spirits up and I didn't understand how she got the energy after losing Derek. She said their child was what kept her going and she refused to let anything k
Ethan POV"Cheers!" I shouted clanking my glass to my best friend. "I can't believe we are here." I said shaking my head. "Seven years ago, to date, everything changed and it all turned out ok.""Yup. You asked me to marry you and I said yes!" Alley gave me her sexy, teasing smile that I always melted to. I glanced down at my wedding ring spinning it over my finger. My second child was on the way with the most gorgeous woman who I was madly in love with. That was not the reason we were celebrating though. We rarely spoke of the true reason, but every year we got together and celebrated this day. Alley needed the reminder to help keep her monsters at bay and we needed to remember that we can get through anything if we just stick together. "Sorry I'm late!" Layla slid in next to me reaching over my body like I didn't exist then gave Alley a big hug. We were not on the greatest of terms and surprise she was pregnant again. You would think I learned my lesson with baby Derek, but I did
Daniel POV"Agent Daniels this is getting out of hand! You don't have a free pass to kill as you please!" My superior was yet again screaming in my ear because Ace went fucking rabid. Seven fucking years I've been at his side and all it got me was one headache after the other. That boy seriously loves a good game of wits and when he wins, everyone dies. "Yes, sir. I understand but I can't be his right-hand man while also having a conscience. I would be the next one found dead. Why was Ramirez even let go in the first place? I practically hand fed you that bust then three weeks later he is walking free.""He was working for us. He had strong connections with the Columbia cartel. Now we have nothing, again. You're a federal agent not a vigilant so get your target under control!" He screamed then hung up on me.I took a deep breath and then laughed. No one controlled Ace. One of these days they are going to pull me from this case and then I'll be fucked. I won't leave Ace's side but it
Ace POVI twirled in my chair killing twenty minutes so I could piss my father off. When he called a meeting, everyone was to arrive on time when he would purposely make them wait ten minutes. Now that I was the boss, I made his ass wait twenty minutes every fucking time.My pen spun in my finger tips and I tried watching it intently like it was the most interesting thing in the world. I had to keep my mind constantly occupied or it would wander to places it shouldn't. For seven years I found many ways to distract myself; from master plan to rid the world of scumbags, to torturing my father, to messing with Elise and Daniel, and to of coursing fucking. No matter what I did though, there was always this constant burn inside me. I hated this life, but considering my options it was the only one I wanted. Times up! "Advisors, slaves, and of course father, what is the status of my companies?" My tone was cold and although I was a wise ass most the time no one knew whether I was joking o
Ace POVThe second I walked out of the airport there was David. White messy hair with a small beer belly dressed in khaki shorts and a fucking button-down shirt with little blue sailboats on them. What the hell was he wearing? He looked like an idiot holding a stupid sign with my name on it along with a cheesy smile. This dude was way too old to be so happy. I nodded to the few men I brought along for security to follow behind us. I never had someone try to attack me in public before, but as powerful as I was, I needed eyes everywhere. "Christian! It's so good to see you again." David gave me a half hug then grabbed my bag. I held my straps tight "I got it!" I glared at him. There were only clothes in it, but I can carry my own bag."Of course. You look like you had a meeting this morning. Why don't we head home and you can change?" He began walking out of the airport to his Mercedes parked out front."I'm fine and I didn't have a meeting." I looked down at myself. This was one of
Ace POVI watched her little body so tense with anger while sitting at her drawing desk. Her ass was firm on the round seat with both cheeks spilling a little over the edges. Fuck, I was definitely sticking my dick in that and soon.I looked around her office noticing how it was by far the largest in the building. Someone was used to being spoiled. Her back wall was all exposed brick with a large window peering out to a garden. She had a black desk with a laptop set up in the corner and a shit load of papers everywhere. Both corners had racks stuffed with rolled up blue prints. The wall to my right was ceiling to floor book shelves and the one to the left was entirely painted with what looked to be heaven, purgatory, and hell. A bit morbid.I took a seat on her black leather couch and watched her for a few moments. Whatever she was working on she was so engrossed in she didn't even realize I was here the past five minutes. She was a strange woman."I would think looking out over the g
Alley POVThe second he stoned his face and called me a whore I wanted to sink into the floor boards. He just fucked me so good and now spoke to me like I was nothing. I don't know why I was even surprised. He is a fucking asshole and always has been. At least now I know he definitely doesn't recognize me. No way Christian would be able to resist holding back that information this long. It was for the best too. I'm pretty sure he still believed I was the monster back then, just as I knew he was. His fingers came to my chin knocking all my senses out then took my lips to his giving me a soft dominating kiss. The bastard actually laughed at me for kissing him back and then walked out. I took a few deep breaths against my bookshelf trying to calm the storm brewing in my head. I hated that man so much and blamed him for Derek's death, yet my body was a fucking magnet to his. Somehow the fucking Devil actually got even sexier over the years too. He seemed taller, was definitely bigger,
Alley POVI settled into my work creating a new design for Ralph, one that didn't resemble a tragic event that affected all of America. I was such an idiot.Christian left a note on my desk to have a new design to him by five. If it was worthy of his time then he would consider allowing the company to stay open. I'm sure this was a trick to get me alone in his office, but I never fell for one of his traps unless I wanted to.After hours of drawing, I finished. Not my best work, but it would do. I designed three towers, not regal and pristine like the Marquis trio, but elegant with a touch of wonderland. After all I was definitely feeling that lost down a drug induced rabbit hole vibe these past two days."Excuse me, Sir. We have a meeting if you're ready." Everything about my voice was submissive and scared. I knew that's how he liked everyone around him to be. "I hope this isn't a waste of my time." He waved to me to enter, not even picking his head up from a few files. I didn't wa
