Kelly's POVThe morning started off like any other: training with Mia and Alex keeping a watchful eye over my progress. But beneath the routine, I couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling I had woken up with. It gnawed at the edges of my mind, a whisper of something waiting to unravel.As I sat on the porch cooling down from the day's grueling workout, my phone buzzed on the table. I absentmindedly picked it up, expecting another alert or perhaps a message from Daniela checking in. What I saw, however, sent a chill down my spine.Dain: “We need to talk. Alone. I’ll tell you everything you need to know.”My heart stopped for a moment. Dain. The name itself felt like venom on my tongue. After everything he and Holly had done to me, betraying me and nearly getting me killed, I hadn’t heard a single word about their whereabouts from Alex's men. Alex’s men had been searching for them tirelessly, but they seemed to have vanished into thin air. And now, here he was, sliding back into my life as

Alex’s POVThe evening air was heavy with anticipation as I stood on the balcony, waiting for Kelly's return, I had stayed back do I wouldn't lose my temper. My phone buzzed in my pocket, Kelly’s text flashing on the screen.Who is Black Bullet Clan?The question hit harder than I expected. Memories of blood-soaked nights and endless fights came rushing back. Those bastards had haunted my life for years, always circling, always waiting. But what unsettled me most was how they had wormed their way into Kelly’s life a place they had no business being.I typed a quick response: Come home.She needed to hear the truth, and I needed to protect her.Moments later, I heard the distant hum of Finn’s car pulling up the driveway. I headed down to the front entrance just as Kelly stepped out, her face a mix of exhaustion and lingering anger. Finn gave me a curt nod before heading back to his duties.“Alex,” Kelly said, her voice steady but laced with frustration. “I want answers. Now.”I gesture

Alex’s POVThe night had grown darker, and every passing second felt heavier than the last. Kelly was sitting across from me, her gaze fixed on the monitors showing live feeds from the team tracking Dain and Holly. Her tension mirrored my own, though I was doing my best to keep it together.“I think it's high time you go to bed; you're not cut out for this.” I told Kelly.“Spare me, Alex; one moment you say I'm tough, the next you're saying I'm not cut out for something,” she said mockingly.“I don't want you to see if eventually something happens to them.”“I have the stomach for anything; I'm not a softie because I'm pretty.”Something about what she said sounded hot.I'm serious, Kelly, you need to go to bed,” I added to hide the smile that was trying to surface following her words.“Alex, you don't need to babysit me; this is the 21st century. I've seen stuff like this in the movies.”“Well, this is reality, and you know the people we are tailing, an ex-lover and a best friend.”.“

Kelly’s POVThe air in the control room was suffocating, weighed down by tension and dread. I sat still, staring at the monitors while my mind raced with guilt and regret. I had unknowingly walked right into Dain’s trap, and now people were dead because of it. Lives lost because I trusted the wrong person. I didn't show it in front of Alex, but I felt like a total fool.Alex stood nearby, his posture rigid, giving orders with the sharpness of a blade. His voice carried authority, but I could sense the undercurrent of frustration beneath it all. He wasn’t just angry about the ambush; he was furious that he couldn’t protect his men.But my guilt was mine alone to bear.I gripped my phone tightly and opened my messaging app. Dain’s number was still there, taunting me with its presence. Without hesitation, I began typing, my fingers flying over the screen as anger bubbled up inside me.Me:How dare you, Dain? Innocent people are DEAD because of you! Was that your plan all along? To drag m

Alex’s POVThe world around me was cloaked in a heavy silence, one only broken by the sound of boots echoing through the hallway.I could remember Kelly's words last night, “I love you,” but I walked away without a word.Finn entered the room, his face etched with a grim determination. I’d called this meeting to assess the fallout from the ambush. Too many lives had been lost, and I wasn’t about to let this go unanswered."Boss," Finn said, his voice low. "We’ve swept the perimeter again. No signs of movement, but our intel suggests the Black Bullet Clan isn’t done. The ambush was just the beginning."I leaned back in my chair, my fingers steepled under my chin. My mind was already racing ahead, plotting the next move. "They’re testing us," I replied. "Trying to see how far they can push before I break. But they’ve made one crucial mistake: they think I can be broken."Finn smirked, but it didn’t reach his eyes. "What’s the plan, boss?"I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I stared a

Kelly’s POVThe morning air felt heavy, almost oppressive, as I walked through the halls of the mansion. Alex had been unusually quiet these past few days, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was weighing heavily on his mind. His stoic demeanor hid it well from everyone else, but I could see through the cracks in his armor.It wasn’t just the recent ambush or the looming threat of the Black Bullet Clan; it was something deeper, more personal. I wanted to help him, to ease some of that burden, but I wasn’t sure how.I caught sight of Daniela in the library, her long black hair tied back as she flipped through a thick leather-bound book. If anyone would know how to get through to Alex, it was her. Daniela had been by his side for years, and though she rarely spoke of it, I knew she had insights into the man behind the steely exterior."Daniela," I called, walking over to her.She looked up, her sharp brown eyes softening slightly when she saw me. "Kelly. What brings you here

Kelly’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, scrutinizing my reflection as the morning sun streamed through the tall windows. A dozen dresses were sprawled across the bed behind me, each one more dazzling than the last. Daniela had outdone herself, arriving in my room at the crack of dawn with an entire wardrobe in tow.“Come on, Kelly,” she said, perching on the edge of the bed with a knowing smile. “You’ve got to try this one. Trust me, it’ll drive him crazy.”She held up a stunning white dress. It was elegant yet seductive, the fabric soft and shimmery, clinging in all the right places. Thin straps crossed over the open back, while the neckline plunged just enough to hint at daring without being overly revealing. The skirt was fitted down to the hips, where it flared out slightly, cascading in soft folds that ended mid-thigh.“I don’t know,” I murmured, taking the dress from her hesitantly. “Isn’t it… too much?”Daniela raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. “For Alex? It’s not enoug

Kelly’s POVThe morning after the dinner, I woke up feeling a mix of contentment and uncertainty.Last night was beautiful, a rare moment of calm in the storm that surrounded Alex's life. But now, in the light of day, reality crept back in. I couldn’t just sit around in the mansion indefinitely, no matter how safe or cared for I felt. I needed something to do, something that gave me purpose until I figured out my next steps.That was how I found myself standing in Alex’s study, nervously twisting my fingers as he and Daniela stared at me.Things were getting back to normal, and Daniela has been going to the office.“You want to do what?” Alex asked, his brows furrowing as he leaned back in his chair.“I want to work for the company,” I repeated, trying to sound more confident than I felt. “As an intern or even just a front desk girl. Something to keep me busy until school starts; don't think about paying me yet until you feel I'm doing well.Daniela snorted, folding her arms. “Kelly,

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

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?
