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.

Kelly's POVThe moment I stepped into the office, the atmosphere shifted. Whispers followed me like a shadow, each murmur biting at my confidence. It wasn’t paranoia; I caught their glances, the way their conversations paused when I walked by, the poorly hidden smirks.This is the third day after the gala, but still they are not reducing the gossips. I'm just going to pretend I don't hear or see them.The headline from the following morning’s tabloids had made its rounds: “The Flawless Couple: Alex and a Mysterious Beauty Steal the Spotlight at Last Night’s Gala.” I didn’t have to guess who the “mysterious beauty” was.“Morning, Cinderella,” Lisa, one of my colleagues, greeted with a tone so saccharine it made my teeth ache.“Good morning,” I replied evenly, choosing not to engage. I walked past her toward my desk, keeping my head high.“Guess she’s not taking interview requests yet,” I heard another coworker quip behind me, followed by a snicker.The words stung, but I forced myself

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

Kelly’s POVDid he just walk out on me again and think a kiss will suffice? This is not the Alex I knew, I'm supposed to understand but I don't want to keep blaming the pregnancy but I'm stressed!.I'm tired of actually sitting home all day, going to the hospital it's fucking the same routine and now Alex my soul source old comfort is battling his own demons, I want to help but he keeps shutting me out. 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.
