Kelly’s POVI lay on the bed, my head propped against Alex’s chest as I slowly licked the ice cream he’d given me, I wasn't entirely comfortable because I've added so much weight and I always feel like I'm now weighing too much for him to handle. My brain was still reeling from the day’s events, but exhaustion was kicking in fast. I needed sleep desperately. But instead, my mind decided to fixate on the one thing I’d been avoiding.The baby’s name.I don't know why Alex is refusing me to read the letter or not telling me the detailed content, but I know it's something that has to do with me.I glanced up at Alex, who was staring at me like he was trying to mind-read.“What?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.“You’re thinking about that letter,” he said, setting his spoon down.“No, I’m thinking about our baby’s name.” I frowned. “Wait babe, are you thinking about that letter?”“No,” he lied.“Yes, you are, else why was that the first question that came to your mind.”“No, I’m not, I don't j

Alex POV Kelly's eyes were already filled with tears, but she had an irritable look on her face, she gagged, I knew what was coming. I led her to find a bathroom, she was throwing up before we got to the scene.“Clean that up” I told the one of the security that followed us in, motioning to the point Mrs Nicole lifeless body laid.“Atleast check for a pulse or something, she might still be alive”. Kelly said faintly after I gave the order, she didn't want to accept the death, I allowed her to cry as much as she wanted. I could not quite understand how close they were. Or was she just feeling guilty.“Say something Alex, she might have a weak pulse let's call the ambulance” I just stood there looking at her not saying anything, she was grieving. She walked out of the bathroom making for Mrs Nicole's body, but stopped on the sight again. She took a step back and held her stomach, I rushed to her side to hold her from behind.“What's wrong babe? If you are not feeling well we can leave”

Alex’s POVI watched as Kelly sat on the couch, her fingers drumming nervously against her thigh, her thighs have become thicker. The events of the day had clearly unsettled her, but she was trying to hold it together. I admired that about her; her resilience, her ability to keep pushing forward even when the world seemed determined to break her.After Finn left, we retired to the room and she did her skin routine, not much just some minor cleaning.“I wonder how hard all these must be for Mrs Nicole, she's always so nice, and now she has to be a victim of Holly's decisions, how did they get to find her?” Kelly asked even without turning to look at me.“Trust me Kelly, if I want to know anything about anyone I will, I have the means and resources, it's same as the black bullet clan only that they use people, it's a world of you scratch my back I scratch yours, and what's more scary about them, they call it a brotherhood hence you see his followers doing stupid things even as far as dy

Alex’s POVThat bastard!I clenched my fists, suppressing the surge of fury rising in my chest. The audacity. The manipulation. The sheer nerve of whoever was pulling the strings behind this. Why did they want Kelly arrested?.Mrs. Nicole’s eyes were steady on me, but I saw the hesitation in them, the doubt creeping in, the weight of what she had just said."The real enemy isn’t the Black Bullet Clan… It’s the one closest to Kelly."And then, with quiet calculation, she added, “That’s you, isn’t it?, I mean you're her fiance, Kelly is what she is because of you, I know you understand that if she's in danger it's because of you”.I inhaled sharply. “No.” My voice was firm, unwavering. “That’s exactly what they want you to believe, If I were the threat I wouldn't be here with security details on you and asking you to leave so they don't harm you.”Mrs. Nicole studied me, her fingers tightening slightly around the glass she held. “And why would they want me to believe that?”I exhaled, l

Mrs. Nicole’s POVThe café was quiet except for the soft hum of classical music playing in the background. I sat at a corner table, my fingers idly tracing the rim of my teacup as I replayed the conversation from earlier in my mind.The man who had approached me had been well-dressed, polite even, but there had been something unsettling about him the way his sharp eyes held too much knowledge, the way his voice carried a weight of certainty."Your daughter, Holly, was part of a team. A very dangerous team."I had frowned at that. I knew Holly had secrets—had always been drawn to the shadows—but I had never imagined my daughter would be involved in something so… calculated. The image of her corpse came to my mind as I struggle bit to let the tears drop, I couldn't imagine, Holly has been an active baby with very sensitive emotions but she managed to cut off the moment she found out something was wrong."She wasn’t innocent, Mrs. Nicole," the man had continued, his voice smooth. "And

Alex’s POVFinn's grip tightened around the steering wheel as the car roared down the street, weaving through traffic with precision. The tension in the air was thick, crackling like a live wire. I could feel the weight of it pressing down on my chest.Finn had been silent for the past minute, his focus split between the road and his phone as he dialed the security detail assigned to Kelly. I watched as his jaw clenched when the call connected.“Talk to me,” he ordered. His voice was sharp, impatient.On the other end, the security agent spoke, his tone clipped and professional.“The plates came back with a name.”Finn didn’t even blink. “Who?”A beat of silence.Then the name dropped.“It’s registered to Mr Evans of The Black Bullet Clan.”Everything inside me went cold.My hands curled into fists, and I forced myself to exhale slowly. The Black Bullet Clan.Not Gina.Not some low-level thug tailing Mrs. Nicole for easy money.This was deeper, then it hit me. “Holly was working with

Alex’s POVSomething felt off.Since Kelly left for her meeting with Mrs. Nicole, I had been skeptical. Call it paranoia or gut instinct, but I had learned to trust my gut—it had kept me alive this long. I knI was sitting in my office, casually going through my messages when I decided to check on her. I sent a quick "How's it going?" on WhatsApp.One tick.She wasn’t online.I frowned. Kelly never left messages unread for long unless she was deep in something.I leaned back in my chair and exhaled. I wasn’t about to panic—not yet. I called the security team."Sir, she's okay," one of the guards assured me. "Still inside La Belle Café, speaking with Mrs. Nicole. No issues so far."I nodded, rubbing my temple. "Stay alert. I don’t want any surprises."As I ended the call, Finn walked into my office, holding a tablet. Finn was my head of security, a no-nonsense guy with the charm of a wet sock but the efficiency of a Swiss watch."Boss, we did the routine security sweep of the house," h

Kelly’s POVI was still staring at my phone screen when Alex walked out of the bathroom, a towel around his waist and water dripping from his dark curls. His relaxed expression changed the moment he saw me. I noticed all these but my mind was far, very far. My pregnant state has been making me feel heavy but I was feeling an extra weight. Flashbacks of what Holly did to me and how I killed her were playing in my head. Does Mrs Nicole know? Was this karma calling my phone?."You look like you've just seen a ghost," he said, grabbing another towel to dry his hair.I blinked, my mind still reeling. "I might as well have."He smiled, stepping closer. "Have you gotten to the hallucination stage of pregnancy?” I didn't reply, then he realised I was serious, the smile turned into a concerned look “What happened love?”I swallowed hard and turned the phone screen toward him. "Holly’s mom, Mrs. Nicole. She just followed me and liked my picture. Then she sent me a DM, I'm scared that she might

Kelly’s POVThe joy from the gender reveal still lingered, filling the air like the scent of vanilla from the half-eaten cake on the table. But as the night stretched on, that joy was soon met with something else something I hadn’t felt in a long time.Unease.It started as a simple notification. My phone buzzed beside me while Alex was in the bathroom. At first, I ignored it, assuming it was Daniela sending yet another nursery idea I’d have to explain away or a spam or an advert. But then I saw the name. Nicole Bane.Mrs. Nicole! My eyes widened as it felt so unreal, I quickly checked the display picture and it was her.My stomach dropped.I stared at the screen, my fingers frozen. It wasn’t just a follow request, she went ahead to like on one of my recent pictures. One I took in Italy.I swallowed hard, my throat dry.Mrs. Nicole. Holly’s mother.I hadn’t thought about her in so long. Not since Holly died. Not since I….My chest tightened. Could she know? Did she find out what happe

Chapter 1
KELLY POV My eyes caught Holly's worried gaze as I took my fifth shot of tequila. She should take a chill pill. I'm not going to pass out on her. We are at Brooklyn's most expensive nightclub, and it's not as if we just got in here by luck. I work here, and they let me take someone with me because I'm a staff.That's why my best friend is here with me, and the main reason is... It's my twentieth birthday! My boyfriend Dain is supposed to be here with us, but he said he had something important to take care of, and I'm guessing it has to do with his mother. That's the only thing important to him apart from me."Kelly, quit drinking. You know I can't handle you when you are drunk. How will I carry you out of this place without any assistance?" She pointed out taking the glass out of my hand as I tried to take another shot."It's a club, Holly; you can ask anyone for help; they will gladly help you; it's a free world; you don't have to worry about anything." I smiled, taking the shot...
