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

Alex’s POVThe gala ended much later than expected. The grandeur of the evening, with its glittering chandeliers and symphony of polite conversations, had done little to drown out the unease brewing in Kelly.She had smiled when required, spoken graciously to our peers, and even managed to laugh at a few jokes. But beneath her poised exterior, I could see the subtle shift in her demeanor. Gina’s presence had rattled her more than she wanted to admit, and it was tearing me up inside.I escorted her out of the ballroom, my hand resting lightly on her back as we navigated through the clusters of lingering guests. She said goodbye politely, but her responses were curt, her attention barely focused. I kept my expression neutral, but internally, I was counting down the seconds until we were alone.As soon as we reached the car, Kelly slid into the seat without a word, folding her arms across her chest and staring out of the window. I sighed quietly before joining her. The tension in the air

Alex’s POVHer lips were warm and soft against mine, a sensation so intoxicating that it momentarily obliterated every coherent thought in my mind. Kelly’s kiss wasn’t hesitant or questioning; it was fierce, passionate, and utterly consuming. My hands instinctively went to her waist, pulling her closer as the world outside her room disappeared.“This,” she whispered against my lips, her voice breathless yet firm. Her eyes locked with mine, darkened with a mix of emotions: desire, confusion, and something deeper that tugged at my heart.I didn’t need clarification. I understood what she meant. This moment, this raw, unfiltered connection between us, was what mattered. It was the one thing Gina or anyone else couldn’t take from us.I cupped her face, gently brushing away a stray strand of hair. “Kelly,” I murmured, my voice thick with emotion. “You don’t know how much you mean to me.”She didn’t respond with words, but her hands slid up my chest, resting just above my pounding heart.

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
