Kelly’s POVI rested my head against Alex’s chest, inhaling his familiar scent, a mix of cologne and something uniquely him. But even as I held onto him, I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves.“You say it’s not about revenge,” I murmured, tracing small circles on his shirt. “But Alex, I see it in your eyes. The way your jaw tightens whenever Tyson’s name comes up. You’re not just looking for him to just tell him he did wrongly, you want to make him pay.”Alex exhaled sharply. “Damn right, I do, I know she's my mother but what sort of man steals from his own family he has failed to fend for.”I pulled back, searching his face. “And then what? After you find him? After you do whatever it is you’re planning? Will it bring you peace? Just turn a blind eye, his children might feel bad don't you think?”His gaze flickered away for a brief moment before locking onto mine again. “It will bring me peace, my mother too will be happy.”I shook my head. “No, Alex. You don’t get to lie

Alex’s POVI was in my office when my phone buzzed with a call from Nora. I immediately answered, bracing myself for whatever news she had.“Alex,” she started, her voice carrying a hint of excitement. “Mom’s stable. The doctors said she’s doing much better.”I exhaled, tension easing from my shoulders. “That’s great news, Nora.”“She even asked about you,” Nora added, and that caught me off guard.“She did?”“Yeah,” she chuckled. “She wants to see you, Alex. Maybe it’s time.”I hesitated. After everything, I wasn’t sure how I felt about visiting her. But before I could overthink it, Kelly, who had been going through some random books on my shelf, looked up at me curiously.“What’s going on?” she asked.“Nora just called,” I said, rubbing the back of my neck. “Mom’s feeling better.”Kelly’s face lit up. “That’s amazing! Can we go see her?”I blinked. “You really want to?”“Of course,” she said, placing a hand on her belly. “She’s still your mother, Alex. And maybe… she’d like to meet

Kelly's POVI woke up to the rustling of bags and the soft clatter of hangers. Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I turned to see Alex placing several shopping bags on the dresser, a satisfied smirk on his face. I felt too he"What is all this?" I asked, sitting up."Just a few things for my beautiful fiancée and our little Ivy," he replied, pulling out a delicate pastel blue dress, the fabric shimmering under the soft morning light. "Thought you could wear this for the baby shower."My heart swelled, and without thinking, I launched myself at him, nearly knocking us both off the bed. "Alex!" I squealed, peppering his face with kisses. "How did I get so lucky?"He laughed, his arms wrapping around me. "I think I'm the lucky one."I pulled back slightly, a teasing grin on my lips. "You know, if I didn’t feel like a giant marshmallow, I’d totally ravish you right now."Alex chuckled, brushing a stray lock of hair from my face. "Oh, I can wait, sweetheart. You just keep being the gorgeous,

Alex's POVThe drive to the hospital was a blur of red lights, honking horns, and Kelly’s laughter mixed with deep breaths as she tried to remain calm despite the contractions that were rapidly increasing in intensity. I, on the other hand, was losing my mind.“Are you okay butterfly? Does it hurt?” I was scared.“Just focus on the road, I'll be alright”.“That's not my question, does it hurt”.“Alex, labour pain is not a myth, By the time we pulled up to the emergency entrance, she was gripping my hand so tightly I thought she might crush my bones.“Okay, sweetheart, we’re here,” I said, jumping out of the car and rushing to her side. A nurse with a wheelchair was already waiting, and Kelly was swiftly helped into it.“We’ve been expecting you,” the nurse said kindly, already wheeling her inside. “Deep breaths, ma’am. How far apart are the contractions?”“Two minutes,” Kelly gritted out, her fingers curling around the armrest. “I think—I think she’s coming really fast.”I could see

Alex’s POVThe room was quiet except for the faint beeping of the monitors and the occasional rustling of the nurses moving about. I sat beside Kelly’s hospital bed, cradling our newborn daughter, Ivy, in my arms. Her tiny fingers twitched in her sleep, her lips slightly parted as she made soft, content noises. She was perfect, I could give the world for her.Kelly still hadn’t woken up.I wasn’t panicking, but I was worried sick, I trusted Dr. Hadley’s reassurance that she would wake up soon and I wanted her to rest all she could from the stress of the childbirth process but I was anxious. Every moment that passed felt like an eternity. I had almost lost her, and that thought alone was enough to keep my chest tight with worry. I wanted her awake and happy to see mini us, she'd be happy.The hospital had to come up with a solution since Ivy was hungry and Kelly wasn’t awake to feed her.A nurse explained that in cases where a mother wasn’t available—whether due to complications, uncon

Alex’s POV“The name ivy actually fits her don't you think?” Kelly asked smiling.“Yes it does, you know you scared me in there when the doctor said you were weak and couldn't push anymore, I just remained calm and maintained my peace, I was scared to lose you”.“I'm sorry for putting you in that position”.“Don't apologize, I'm here for you, was holding Ivy after the operation and I just wanted you to wake up so fast”.She smiled, “all my life I've always wanted to watch the baby come out of me and then to my arms and I'll feed her, that's how I've imagined it would be, but unfortunately I was not awake when she came out”.“All that matters is that you're both okay”.The hospital room was quiet again, except for the soft sounds of Ivy suckling as Kelly nursed her.“This one likes to eat, I won't have an issue reducing my swollen boobs”.“I could help with that” I said..“Ewweeeee” Kelly laughed.I watched them with a quiet awe, my mind still trying to grasp the magnitude of what had

Alex’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the hospital room's curtains, casting a gentle glow over Kelly and our newborn, Ivy. She didn't want to drop the baby, even after breastfeeding.Kelly looked up at me, her eyes filled with warmth."Alex, you should go home and get some rest," she urged softly. "You've been here all night, I'm alright and so is Ivy"I shook my head, a smile tugging at my lips. "I can't leave my two favorite girls alone. Besides, I want to be here with you."She chuckled lightly. "I appreciate that, but you need to take care of yourself too. Go home, take a shower, maybe get a quick nap. We'll be right here when you get back."I sighed, knowing she was right. "Okay, but I'll be quick. If you need anything, call me immediately.""Deal," she agreed, her smile widening.As I gathered my things, Kelly's expression turned thoughtful. "You know, today was supposed to be the baby shower."I paused, recalling the plans she had meticulously made. "You're right. I'm sorr

Alex's POVThe celebration was in full swing. Laughter echoed through the halls, and the clinking of glasses created a harmonious backdrop to the joyous occasion. I stood near the entrance, greeting guests and stealing glances at Kelly, who was radiant as she cradled Ivy. Everything was perfect until I saw her.Gina.She stood near the staircase, her eyes scanning the room until they locked onto mine. A smirk played on her lips, and my blood ran cold. What the hell is she doing here? Kelly is not going to like this.I excused myself from the group I was conversing with and signaled Daniela to join me in the hallway."Daniela," I began, keeping my voice steady, "did you send out the invitations personally?"She nodded, a hint of pride in her eyes. "Yes, Alex. I made sure to include everyone on Kelly's list and added a few of our close associates just as you requested.""Did you, by any chance, invite Gina?, the whole pregnancy process was silent, how did she get here?" I asked, my tone

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.

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

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?
