Kelly’s POVThe pink cake sat half-eaten on the table, but neither of us could stop staring at it. A girl. We were having a daughter. The realization settled over me like a warm blanket, filling every inch of my being with excitement and a tinge of nervousness. I was happy beyond how I thought, maybe I feared a male child because I felt Alex might train him to be like himself, but a girl child will be protected and cared for, not shown to this dangerous world I'm yet to understand for myself.Alex hadn’t stopped smiling since we cut the cake. He was still holding me, his hands firm on my waist as if grounding himself in this moment. “I love you, the mother of my unborn baby”“I love you too, my baby daddy”. We kissed.“A little princess,” he murmured again, almost like he was trying to convince himself it was real. I could see the smile in his eyes, I was small compared to his build, I could see myself in his eyes.I laughed, wiping at the happy tears that had escaped. “Looks like you

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

Claimed by the ruthless Mafia Lord Chapter 137: The Final Gambit
Alex & Kelly’s POVA Night to RememberThe auction night arrived like a whispered promise, an elegant affair draped in exclusivity, where power dressed itself in silk and ambition clinked against crystal glasses. It was held at a private estate in the hills, a place chosen for its air of discretion. Security was tight, invitations scarce, and every guest was a shark in designer suits or gowns that cost more than some made in a year.Alex stood at the entrance, the epitome of calm power in his tailored black suit. The weight of the night rested on his shoulders, but for once, he wasn’t carrying it alone. Kelly was beside him, her confidence as sharp as the diamond-studded heels she wore. Her beauty was her accessory. Her midnight blue dress hugged her figure in a way that made more than a few heads turn, but her eyes, sharp, calculating, and always ten steps ahead kept them at bay. For she was the Don's wife, a lioness."Ready?" she murmured, adjusting his tie with the familiarity of a

Alex’s POVThe evening was settling in, casting a golden hue over the hospital room. The air smelled like antiseptic and vanilla cake, an odd combination, but fitting for the warmth that surrounded us. My mom was still gushing over Ivy, Richard was side-eyeing Denise like she was his personal moon, and Nora? Well, she was busy sneaking extra icing off the cake when she thought no one was watching, like a kidKelly sat beside me, her fingers absentmindedly playing with the sleeve of my shirt as she chatted with my mom. It was one of those rare moments where everything felt… steady.Then my phone buzzed.I fished it out of my pocket and glanced at the screen. Concierge.I got up, stepping out onto the hospital’s private balcony. The air was crisp, a reminder that the seasons were shifting. I answered on the third ring."Mr. Delano," the deep voice on the other end greeted smoothly. "Everything is in place."A slow smirk formed on my lips. "As expected.""The shipment arrives in exactly

Kelly’s POVFrom when I gave birth I counted Ivy's age like I was paid for it. And now the little me is 1 week.I watched Alex take a deep breath, his eyes unfocused for a moment as he stared at the system in front of him.His fingers twitched, and I could tell he was lost in thought. I didn't want to interrupt but he's supposed to know."Our baby is a week old today," I reminded him softly, reaching for his hand.He blinked and let out a deep breath. "One week already?, she's growing so fast, wait you think I forgot?" His voice was distant, like he was trying to grasp the reality of it."Yeah," I whispered, squeezing his fingers. "Can you believe it? Ivy’s been with us for a whole week, yes you forgot babe."Alex ran a hand over his face and chuckled under his breath. "Feels like just yesterday you were yelling at me in the hospital for breathing too loudly."I smirked. "You were breathing too loudly."“There's no such thing as breathing loudly, the labour process simply made you easi

Alex’s POVI stared at Kelly, waiting for her to say she was joking.She wasn’t.“You must be joking when you said you want to see the gang. I'm correct right?” I repeated slowly, watching her carefully. She should be joking.“No I'm not, I want to be there, I want to meet people you're close to, don’t you think if you had related more with them and showed them your family before they saw it on the news they might feel they had a place in your home?” Her voice was firm, her eyes locked onto mine with that unshakable determination that I both admired and feared.I ran a hand over my face, exhaling heavily. “Kelly, that’s not happening, I'm not bringing you into this world.”Her arms crossed. “Why not?”I let out a dry laugh. “Because, sweetheart, my gang is not exactly a ‘bring-your-wife-to-work’ kind of place, and once you're in it's a lifestyle no going back”She arched an eyebrow. “And yet, you’re trying to convince me you’re done with them, and that you want to leave, how do you pl

Kelly’s POVThe warm water cascaded down my back, but it did nothing to wash away the frustration boiling inside me. Alex thought he could light a few candles, make the room cozy, and I’d just… what? Melt into his arms? Pretend like everything was fine?No.He was keeping secrets again. I could see it in his eyes, the way he avoided certain questions, the tension in his shoulders whenever I brought up anything remotely personal.I stood under the shower and allowed the water just pour before I shut off the shower, dried myself off, and wrapped a towel around me before stepping out of the bathroom.Alex was sitting on the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, staring at me like he expected me to say something.I didn’t say anything or acknowledge his presence.Instead, I walked straight to the dresser, picked up my lotion, and started applying it to my arms as if he weren’t even in the room, thank God for Ivy, putting her to sleep required little to no effort there was nothing I needed

Alex’s POVThe night air was thick with tension. I had let Kelly go without a fight, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t worried. I knew she needed space, but I couldn’t let her slip away too far. Not when everything around me was beginning to unravel.I've had security follow her, and when I confirmed it was Emily's house, I told the security to retreat allowing her to breathe, she'll be more pissed if she found out I sent security to baby sit her.I leaned back in my chair, swirling the amber liquid in my glass as I waited. The concierge would be here soon, and I needed this meeting to go exactly as I planned. I didn’t want him thinking I was desperate, even though, in some ways, I was. I needed a way out or a middle ground, I didn't want Kelly thinking I'm a fraud, her judging eyes made me feel less of a man, like I'm not the man she bargained for.Kelly leaving made me uneasy, but not because I thought she’d run. No, it was because she might start asking questions I wasn’t ready to answ

Kelly’s POVI didn’t know how to feel. Was I to feel bad that the venture was going sideways?Alex had left the room, his words still ringing in my ears. I run a drug gang.My husband, the father of my child, the man I had promised to spend my life with, wasn’t just some successful businessman with a dark past. He was still in it. Still deeply entangled in a world I wanted no part of. Worst of it now is that his boys might be after him. Am I in some soap opera? What's all these?I sank onto the bed, staring at the vanity mirror, my reflection betraying the storm inside me. My fingers tremble slightly as I rubbed my temple. Was that where all the money came from? Had I really been this blind? The cars, the security, the late nights… I had assumed the worst was behind him. But I was wrong. What if he's still a nightmare to some people? I'm married to a Don!! I laughed out my anxiety.I wanted to call Daniela. She had been my closest friend, my sister in all but blood. But then a horrify

Alex’s POVThe moment I opened my eyes, I knew I had slept longer than I intended. The room was dimly lit, the warm glow of the bedside lamp casting soft shadows on the walls. I blinked a few times, trying to shake off the haze of sleep. My body still ached, but it was manageable, just a dull throbbing reminder of the bullet wound.I remembered my first bullet it was by my dad, I had fucked up a mission alongside other members and he shut me, wasn't deep. After all the corrections and people thought he was heartless, he called me into his room and gave me a nice meal, and said that was his duty as a boss, and breaking bread with me was his duty as my father. I loved him.Finn must have left hours ago.I exhaled and ran a hand through my hair, realizing something that made my jaw clench. Kelly really hadn’t come back.Damn, she was that mad at me? She didn't even care if I needed her?. How do I appease this goddess?.With a grunt, I sat up and immediately regretted it. A wave of dizzin

Kelly’s POVI sat beside Alex after having to argue with Finn for him to come to the master bedroom,“how do you suggest we leave him in the study?”. I shot at him the moment the doctor left and he asked us to allow him rest“I'll be here to keep an eye on him and await further instructions on what we were on before he got shot”.“Are you high right now? Isn't it enough that he was shot you still want further instructions from him on what?, some mission you went on with him looking like a grim reaper?”.“He's going to the master bedroom, I'm his wife, I'll be beside him”.“Kelly it's not that deep you need to calm down”.“What's not deep about a gun shot? His wounds? Or my worries?, I respect you Finn. Let's just don't get irritated by each other, you don't want to tell me what happened, fine I won't disturb you that's your office, but you won't teach me how to take care of my man okay?”.He just nodded and called his men to take Alex to the room.I looked over at Alex, he was still a
