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

KELLY POVEverything was a mistake.My life itself is a mistake, and I don't know how I ended up making another. I quickly snapped out of my pathetic thoughts. "You are awake." He stated the obvious as I wrapped the duvet around my chest: "Yes, but I wish I passed away instead of waking up in a stranger's bed." I huffed, picking up my clothes from the floor while using one hand to hold the duvet on my chest.What am I even hiding? The pervert has seen it all while he was having his fill with me last night.Last night... Where was Holly? Why didn't she stop him? Is she alright?"That's not a healthy thought, Kelly," he said, and I paused too angry to let this go."You stupid jerk! Don't you ever call my name again; in fact, I never want to see your stupid face in front of me, fucking pervert. I should report you to the police." I gritted out, but he seemed so chill, like I didn't just threaten to report him for raping me."You are only mad because you don't remember what happened; you

ALEXANDER POV I might have turned into a statue as I watched her go; she just insulted me in the presence of my men.They all stayed silent, waiting for me to shoot her in the head or something, but I couldn't move; instead, I found myself wanting to follow her. I have always loved a challenge, and Kelly seems like the type I would want to keep. "Should I go after her?" Finn, my second in command, asked.He thinks I want him to go finish her off, but it was far from that; I want to keep her instead, which doesn't make any sense. I don't chase women or try to make them stay.Kelly is a bit different from all the women I have met ever since my ex-wife left me. The women usually are the ones to try to get my attention, but I found myself wanting Kelly to look at me at the bar last night.She didn't seem impressed or even try to make advances at me until she was completely wasted. I should have stopped her, but I couldn't because I couldn't think straight.I wanted her so badly.And I s

KELLY POV The tears streamed down my chin as I hopped into the taxi. I couldn't even stop myself from sobbing like a child.The driver was stealing glances.at me, but he couldn't ask if I was okay. This is New York; not everyone is okay with their lives, and a sobbing girl in his taxi shouldn't be his problem. I wiped the tears trying to figure out what I would say to Holly or Dain. I really hope Holly is alright, because I don't understand why she will let me out of her sight.Was she drunk too?Or is it just my fault that I went back to the handsome stranger I met at the bar? I'm such a dumb idiot. All these wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been drinking like that; my head is pounding and my stomach rumbles loudly enough for the driver to hear. I didn't have the time to be embarrassed because I was busy reflecting on my actions. "Here." The driver tossed me a chocolate bar, and I grabbed it, tearing it open.My eyes caught my reflection in the side mirror, and I looked terri

KELLY POVI gasped as Dain forced me to sit, and Holly chuckled before pulling him closer. Then she kissed him again, this time with her eyes on me.It felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and her betrayal stinged even more than Dain's. We are like soul sisters, and I love her so damn much.I didn't expect this from Dain or even from her. I have never felt so heartbroken all my life; she pulled away, smirking at me."How did that make you feel?" She taunted."Nauseous," I replied, wiping the tears on my cheeks; it didn't stop more from falling. This is Holly, my nice friend that looks out for me, the one that was worried that I would get lost in the crowd last night. The one I shared everything with, and nobody knows her like she knows me; she is the reason I'm not in college now. I gave her my savings because she had a debt she wanted to pay.This is how she repays me? Sleeping with my boyfriend behind my back and holding a knife at me."Oh, don't cry, you poor thing. Loo

Alex’s POV Phone rings. “Daniela, I'm in the middle of the investors meeting. Why is my cell ringing?” ? “Sir, it's your personal phone; you don't have control over it.”. I checked and saw that it was Finn calling. What could he possibly have to say? I ended the call. **Phone beeps some minutes later; it was a picture of my butterfly in blood from Finn. I stormed out of the meeting while placing a call to Finn. “What the hell happened to her?” I yelled as my heart was filled with rage. “Sir, she was attacked by two people, a lady and a male, in her apartment.”. “Why did you not call sooner? What's the possibility of her being alive? Where are you right now? I asked all these without waiting for an answer from him. “Sir, you need to calm down.” “Don't bloody ask me to calm down and tell me where the hell you are, else I'll make sure you see your maker once I take sight of you.”. “We are driving to the mansion to get her treatment. I just called the doctor, and he'll meet us

Kelly's POV I woke up at noon the next day, and it felt like I'd just woken up from a dream, but the aching pains in my shoulder and thigh as I tried to sit up proved it wasn't. I feel so weak, and there was this metallic taste in my mouth. I felt a bit feverish but not as bad as before when Holly first stabbed me. Yes, the realization hit me: Holly betrayed me with my boyfriend and tried to kill me. I lay there for a while analyzing how it all felt; I guess me passing out did not blur my memory. I can still remember the first stab on my shoulder; it came fast, a heat and pain ripping through my shoulder, my breath cut sharp and shallow. It wasn't just the pain of the knife cut; it was the person stabbing me. I could see the smirk on her face like I meant nothing to her this whole time she has been in my life; the emotional and physical pain triggered me to just leave, and she still went ahead to stab me again. I screamed when the knife came in contact with my skin; fast, withou

Kelly POVIs it the drugs? I'm starving like mad, but I've made up my mind: till I leave here, I won't be eating anything.Alex opens the door almost immediately. “You know you should eat, yes?” “I need to leave this room, no, this house; I need a change of clothes and undies.”“That shouldn't be a problem. I can get someone to shop for new things for you in brands and in dozens.“Show off your money for all I care, but my will stands.” I scoffed.“Currently, Kelly, I need you to be honest with me; I need you to tell me who attacked you and why they did it.”“I can't trust you. Don't you get it? How many times do you want me to repeat myself? And in all honesty, I'm beginning to feel like you kidnapped me.”He turned and looked at me like I was crazy.“Don't give me that look; this is the 21st century, and you're acting like a mafia or some sort of delusional boss. I have rights, and I could call the cops on you.” I said this trying to act like I wasn't scared he would get mad at me

Alex’s POVMy phone buzzed sharply, cutting through the relative silence of the study. Finn’s name lit up the screen.“Boss, you’re about to miss your flight,” Finn said without preamble.I frowned, glancing at the clock. “I’m not late. I’m ready to leave the mansion. Did something come up? Weather? Some last-minute change in the schedule?”“It’s not the weather,” Finn said grimly. “It’s Devon. He knows about the summit in Bangladesh. He’s got men both here and waiting for you there.”“What the hell are you talking about?” I snapped, straightening in my chair.“He wasn’t bluffing when he said he’d go after the business,” Finn replied. “This is more than just a message. It’s an ambush.”“How did you find out?” I demanded.“Our security detail in Bangladesh flagged a suspicious personnel change. Someone swapped our regular guys for a new team. I looked into them. Turns out they’ve worked for Devon before. It’s not a coincidence, Alex.”“And you’re sure?”Finn didn’t hesitate. “Positive.

Kelly’s POVThe morning sun streamed through the large windows of the mansion, its golden rays bouncing off the polished floors. As I descended the grand staircase, I heard hushed voices coming from the sitting room. Curious, I crept closer, pausing just outside the door.“Time is running out, Alex,” Daniela’s voice was sharp, cutting through the stillness. “If you don’t move soon, we’ll lose any leverage we have.”“I know,” Alex replied, his tone heavy. “But pushing her too fast could backfire. She needs more time.”“You’re gambling with her life,” Daniela shot back. “If she’s not ready when they come—”“She’ll be ready,” Alex interrupted, his voice steely. “I won’t let anything happen to her.”My heart pounded as I leaned against the wall, trying to process their words. Who was coming? And what kind of leverage were they talking about?The floor creaked beneath my foot, and their voices abruptly stopped. Before I could retreat, Alex’s commanding voice called out, “Kelly, you can com

Kelly’s POVThe next few days passed in a whirlwind of routines I never thought I’d experience. Daniela wasn’t just persistent—she was relentless. My mornings started with grueling workouts that made every muscle in my body protest, but I couldn’t deny the strange satisfaction that came with pushing myself.Plans for my school were also in place; I was less bored.True to her word, she didn’t let my injuries excuse me completely, but she was mindful enough to adjust the intensity when I felt I couldn’t continue. Her sarcastic remarks and blunt humor somehow made the sessions bearable, even when I wanted to collapse on the mat and pretend the world didn’t exist.“Do you feel that burn?” Daniela asked one morning, hands on her hips as she watched me struggle through a set of lunges.“Feel it? I’m pretty sure my legs are about to disown me,” I replied, gritting my teeth.She smirked. “Good. That means it’s working. Pain is weakness leaving the body, Kelly. Remember that.”As much as I ha

Kelly’s POVDaniela’s energy was like a storm when she entered a room—impossible to ignore. She swept into my space early the next morning, carrying a bag that seemed far too heavy for someone in heels that high.“Good morning, sunshine!” She announced, dropping the bag onto the floor with a loud thud.I groaned from my spot on the couch. “Why are you so loud? It’s barely 7 a.m.”“Because today is the day,” she said with a sly grin. “The day we turn you into a phoenix.”“What does that even mean?” I sat up, wincing as my shoulder protested the movement. The stab wound was healing, but it still ached, reminding me of the price I’d paid for being a best friend and a lovely girlfriend.Daniela perched on the armrest of the couch, her sharp eyes scanning me like a sculptor sizing up a block of marble. “It means you’re about to rise from the ashes, darling. No offense, but you look like someone who’s been through hell. I know I helped pick a line of clothes for you the last time, but I thi

Alexander's POVThe early morning sun filtered through the blinds in my office, casting long streaks of light across the polished floor. I swirled the amber liquid in my glass, though it was far too early for bourbon. My thoughts were tangled, replaying last night’s meeting with Devon. Every word, every smirk, was etched in my mind like a puzzle begging to be solved.Finn strode in without knocking, his usual casual confidence exuding from every movement. He dropped a file on my desk before taking a seat across from me."Well?" he asked, leaning back. "How’d it go with Devon?""Exactly as I expected," I replied, setting the glass down. "He’s playing the long game, but it’s not as clever as he thinks. He wants to make his move, Finn, and he thinks I’m too distracted to see it coming."Finn frowned, tapping his fingers on the armrest. "And the part where he blatantly admitted to wanting your company? Bold. Too bold. What’s the play now?"I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the desk.

KELLY'S POVThe silence of my room was deafening, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves brushing against the window. I couldn’t shake the echo of Alex’s words from earlier tonight."By fifteen, I’d taken my first life."He had delivered the confession with a calmness that was chilling, but his eyes betrayed him. Beneath the steely exterior, there was pain, guilt, and a weariness I hadn’t fully grasped until that moment. The weight of those words pressed on my chest, making it hard to breathe.I lay sprawled on the bed, staring at the ceiling, willing sleep to come. But how could I sleep after hearing that? My thoughts raced, colliding into one another like waves crashing against a rocky shore.Who was Alex, really? Was he a protector, a savior who had risked everything to keep me safe? Or was he something darker, someone whose past was too dangerous to outrun?And yet, despite the turmoil in my mind, I couldn’t deny the pull I felt toward him. It wasn’t just his mysterious al

ALEX’S POVThe soft light of the early morning filtered through the curtains of my office, but I couldn’t focus on the papers sprawled across my desk. My mind replayed the events of the night before like a broken record. Kelly’s tear-streaked face. The crack in her voice as she accused me of being someone she couldn’t trust. The way she looked at me as if I was a monster.I leaned back in my chair, running a hand over my face. I’d never felt this way before, this gnawing guilt about who I am. My world wasn’t built for softness or second chances, and yet, Kelly made me question everything. Her words last night had cut deeper than I wanted to admit.I hadn’t meant to scare her, but my tone, my actions—they were born of habit, of survival. She didn’t understand the darkness I lived in. How could she? She was light in a world of shadows, and I’d dragged her into my chaos.But I had to make it right.Standing, I paced the length of the room, my polished shoes echoing on the marble floor. A

KELLY’S POVThe soft tapping on my shoulder pulled me out of my sleep. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dimly lit room. Standing above me, hands in his pockets and an unreadable expression on his face, was Alex. His presence filled the room, radiating authority and an undercurrent of something darker.“Alex,” I mumbled, sitting up. My voice was groggy from sleep, and my heart quickened. “You’re back.I've waited for you all day.“Yes, I am.” His tone was calm, almost too calm, like the surface of a still lake hiding something dangerous beneath. “All day? I came in late because I had an engagement this evening that took me off balance, he said and quickly added “We need to talk, Kelly.”I tensed at his words, the unease from the previous day rushing back. My eyes flickered to the clock on the wall. It was nearly midnight.“Talk about what?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady, though my pulse betrayed me, thundering in my ears.He moved to the chair near the window and sat

ALEXANDER POVI called Finn immediately I was ready.“What's up? Meet me at the company; Williams just requested a private meeting with me this morning.”.“Alright, I'll be there.”.I drove out.********Daniela walked up to me as I walked into the company. It's like she's been waiting forever.“Finally you're here. Is this true what I heard about Mr. Williams? Finn told me he is acquainted with Devon and is the leak.”*Yup, he is, I said, not paying total attention to her; a staff member greeted us as we waited for the elevator.“Has he said anything in addition to wanting to see me?”“No boss, he just wanted a time today; I gave him one, and boom, he was already on his way here.”.“That's fast,” I smiled and thought of how desperate he must be to watch me fall.*****"Mr. Williams welcomed me with a firm handshake as I walked into the conference room. His usual calm demeanor betrayed nothing, but I already knew better.“Mr. Bloodhound, good to see you,” he started, gesturing for me
