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’s POVThe morning after Kelly’s first day at the company, I found myself in the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee while staring out at the vast mansion.“Sir, I could get that for you if you had called.”“Not to worry, I'm okay.”The early light was golden, casting a serene glow over the manicured lawns. It was peaceful, but my mind was anything but.Kelly’s decision to work at the company had surprised me more than I let on. I hadn’t expected her to want to immerse herself in the chaos of my world so soon after everything she’d been through. And yet, she had acted against my better judgment, against Daniela’s warnings.I wanted to shield her, to keep her away from the wolves that circled my life, but Kelly had her own mind, her own determination. That combination of fragility and strength was what made her so uniquely her. And that was what scared me the most.Later that morning, I arrived at the office earlier than usual. My usual stoic expression was firmly in place as I strode

Kelly’s POVThe morning started with a sharp twist in my abdomen, waking me before the alarm could. I groaned, curling into myself as the pain rolled over me like a storm. I checked my calendar app on my phone, and yup, it's that time of the month: “I hate how I feel. I squeezed a little harder. As if on cue, there was a soft knock at the door.“Miss Kelly?” Who was that this early? I thought, not realizing the irritation that comes with my monthly period.I recognized the voice. It was Mara, one of the maids, her voice tinged with concern. “Are you awake?”I sat up gingerly, wincing at the movement. “Yes, Mara. Come in.”“Your dress is ready, ma'am,” she said, placing the dress on my chair. I had asked her to help me press the dress. ”I know you don't like to go to work late; that's why I got it done on time”.She explained as she arranged my stuff cautiously, her usual warm smile quickly replaced by a frown when she saw my pale face. “You don’t look well,” she said, setting a tray o

Alex’s POVI adjusted the cuffs of my brand-new navy blue suit, tailored to perfection by an Italian designer whose name escapes me at the moment. It was paired with a crisp white shirt and a silk burgundy tie that added just the right touch of sophistication. My black Oxford shoes, polished to a mirror finish, completed the ensemble. I looked sharp and felt… lighter."Someone’s been raiding the ‘fresh start’ wardrobe," came a teasing voice from the doorway.Finn stood there, leaning casually against the frame, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. “What’s the occasion, Boss? You’ve been glowing since you walked in. Don’t tell me, did you actually take a day off?”I shot him a warning glance but couldn’t suppress the small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. “Good morning, Finn. Do you need something, or are you here just to comment on my attire?”He sauntered into the room, uninvited as usual, and dropped into one of the chairs across from me. “Oh, yes, boss, I need answers, boss

Kelly’s POVDaniela strolled into Alex’s office, tablet in hand, her trademark efficiency radiating from her every movement. She glanced at him as he scrolled through emails, his posture relaxed yet commanding in his pristine office chair."Good morning, Alex," Daniela began, her voice crisp. "I’ve compiled your schedule for the month. It’s packed, but manageable if you stay on track."Alex looked up, his eyebrows raised. "Let’s hear it."Daniela swiped on her tablet, listing his appointments. "You’ve got the quarterly board meeting next week, a series of client calls in the second week, and..." She paused for effect, glancing up with a sly smile. "the Annual Business Leaders’ Gala on the 28th."Alex leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable."Let me guess," he said, his voice tinged with amusement. "You’re suggesting I bring a plus one this time?"Daniela tilted her head. "You’ve always had me as your plus one for these events, Alex, but this year, well…" She trailed off, a

Kelly’s POVI was trying to act unaffected; I really was. But the moment Alex teased me about being jealous, my face betrayed me. My cheeks burned as I turned away, trying to busy myself with anything that would keep me from looking at his smug grin. YES, I WAS JEALOUS."I'm not jealous," I muttered, avoiding his gaze."Sure you're not," he replied, his tone dripping with amusement."I mean it," I said, crossing my arms over my chest and glaring at him. "Why would I be jealous? She's your ex-wife. That’s ancient history, right?""Ancient?" He raised an eyebrow, stepping closer. "You make it sound like I’m an artifact, but yes, that's ancient history; she doesn't come anywhere close to you, butterfly.""Maybe you are," I shot back, trying to keep my tone light.”Don't patronize me; we both know that woman is pretty good-looking and hot too. Talk about her looking and smelling like old money wealth. I rolled my eyes.He chuckled, his deep, velvety laugh filling the room. "Kelly, you’re a

Kelly’s POVThe problem with being married to a stubborn man was that he thought he could bulldoze through life by ignoring emotions, the only thing that has his emotions is me and shutting me out is not a big deal I guess.Unfortunately for Alex, I was equally stubborn—and much louder.I lay awake that night, staring at the ceiling, listening to Alex’s even breathing. But I knew better. He wasn’t asleep. He was too still. His body was too tense. His mind was spinning, and he was doing that thing where he thought he could outthink reality.I sighed, shifting slightly. “Are you going to tell me what’s going on, or do I have to start throwing pillows at your head until you break?”Silence.I smirked. "Okay, pillow attack it is."His large hand shot out, catching my wrist before I could reach for one. "Go to sleep, Kelly, I'm not in the mood for this right now, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me""Not happening, buddy." I twisted my wrist free and propped myself on my elbow. "You

God!!!! I needed a break. A long one. Preferably one that involved me on a beach, sipping something cold, and watching the waves roll in.But since that wasn’t happening, I figured retail therapy would do.I grabbed my purse and left the house, ignoring the way Alex was still brooding over his mother’s sudden reappearance in his life. I wanted to be there for him, I really did, but there was only so much moody silence I could take before I started losing my mind.The driver, a well-built man named Chris, was already waiting beside the car when I stepped outside.

Alex’s POVThe clock on my office wall ticked steadily, a rhythmic sound that usually blended into the background. But not today. Today, it felt deafening.Across from me sat a man I had never seen before, yet he carried an air of familiarity that unsettled me. His brown eyes held an emotion I refused to acknowledge, hope. I saw a man who looked like me!. It's true, my mom's son."Who are you?" I asked, my voice devoid of warmth.He didn’t flinch. Instead, he exhaled slowly and met my gaze head-on."My name is Richard Hale," he said. Then, after a pause, he dropped the bombshell. "I’m your brother." The bastard knew!. This isn't mere coincidence.I stared at him, waiting for the punchline. When none came, I leaned back in my chair and let out a short, humorless laugh."I don’t recall having a brother," I said coolly.Richard studied me carefully. "We have the same mother."The words sent a jolt through me, but I didn’t let it show. Instead, I folded my hands on the desk, keeping my ex

Kelly’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my dress for the third time. The baby bump had made choosing outfits a mission, but I wasn’t in the mood for anything too tight or uncomfortable today. I need more maternity gowns, I had my routine check-up at the hospital, and as much as I hated hospitals, I knew it was necessary, at least for the baby.Alex was sitting on the edge of the bed, flipping through his phone, looking every bit as relaxed as I was anxious, we just had breakfast, maybe that's why my stomach is bigger, or not, this baby is growing super fast. I looked at myself and smiled, I was becoming a mother!."You know, you're supposed to come with me, right?" I said, turning to him.He barely glanced up. "Come with you where?"I rolled my eyes. "To the hospital. It’s supposed to be me and my partner,that’s you, in case you forgot it helps us bond with the baby on a parent-baby level and makes us more excited and involved in this together.Alex exhaled dramatically.

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.
