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. It

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

Alex’s POVIt had been a grueling day at the office, and the constant buzzing of my phone only added to my irritability. Gina’s antics had crossed every imaginable line. First, she had shown up at the company, stirring up trouble, and now Finn was reporting that she had been digging into Kelly’s past.I sank into my chair, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. Gina had always been manipulative, but this? This was a new level. I couldn’t let her continue harassing Kelly. My phone buzzed again. Finn’s message was concise:“She’s relentless, boss. Might want to handle this one personally.”I stood, pacing my office. Finn was right. I had to put an end to this nonsense. Without overthinking, I scrolled to Gina’s contact and hit “Call.”The phone rang twice before she picked up, her voice smug and unbothered.“Alex,” she greeted sweetly, as though we were old friends catching up.“Gina,” I said sharply, not bothering with pleasantries. “What do you think you’re doing?”“Whatever d

Kelly’s POVThe house was quiet, save for the faint hum of the air conditioning. I sat in the kitchen with a mug of tea, my mind racing. Seeing Gina in Alex’s room earlier had shaken me. She had no business being there or in his life at all, but the audacity of her presence, her smugness, and the way she claimed to know Alex so well had struck a nerve I didn’t want to acknowledge.“God, what she made smells so good.” I made sure to check the pots; whatever, she's a bitch.I needed to talk to someone, and Daniela was always my go-to. She had a knack for telling me things I didn’t want to hear but needed to, and right now, I craved her blunt honesty.Reaching for my phone, I dialed her number.“Kelly? What’s up?” Daniela’s voice was bright, as though she’d been expecting my call.“I need to talk,” I said, my voice trembling.“Uh-oh. Spill,” she replied, her tone immediately shifting to one of concern.I hesitated before letting the words tumble out. “It’s Gina. She was in Alex’s room to

Kelly’s POVThe morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of my room, bathing everything in a warm glow. I stretched lazily, the tension from the previous night still lingering but muted by the promise of a new day. After the drama with Gina and Dain's ominous warning about Holly, I had resolved to face today with confidence. Daniela’s words echoed in my mind: “Put your A-game on.”I was going to do just that.Sliding out of bed, I decided to dress to impress. Not for anyone else, but for myself. After a quick shower, I stood in front of my wardrobe, considering my options. A fitted emerald-green dress caught my eye. The color complimented my skin tone, and the cinched waist and slightly flared hemline gave it a touch of elegance. I paired it with nude heels, subtle gold jewelry, and a spritz of my favorite perfume.Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I felt a surge of confidence. The past few days had been a whirlwind, but today I wanted to reclaim my sense of self.“G

Alex’s POVKelly had already gone to bed. I'd gone to check on her, her soft breathing echoing faintly through the room. She was safe now, but my mind refused to settle. Gina’s reappearance and her audacity to approach Kelly boiled my blood. How can that bitch think of bribing Kelly, and that Holly girl had the audacity to show up? Should have killed her a while ago.I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly. My mind was already racing with plans to handle this situation. Gina had crossed a line, and I wasn’t about to let it slide. Picking up my phone, I scrolled through my contacts until I found Finn’s name.The phone rang; his groggy voice answered.“Boss? It’s late,” Finn muttered.“I need you to wake up. This is urgent,” I said, my tone firm.Finn sighed audibly. “What’s going on?”“Gina,” I spat the name like it was venom. “I need you to track someone down for me. Her current boyfriend, or rather, her lover. The former bodyguard my ex-wife left me for. I need to know what he’s d

Kelly’s POVThe whispers had been relentless since the cafeteria incident. Every glance, every half-concealed smile from my coworkers felt heavy with speculation. I knew they were talking about me, piecing together fragments of the scene they witnessed: Alex storming in, the confrontation with the cafeteria staff, and my untouched tray. It had been a whirlwind, leaving me more shaken than I cared to admit.The incident in the cafeteria had caused quite a stir, and though Alex had handled it with his usual commanding presence, it was clear that the news had spread.When I arrived at my desk, Daniela was already waiting with an urgent expression. She leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper.“Kelly,” she said, "you must have been shaken by the incident. So sorry you had to face that. Thank God Alex was watching. He wants to see you in his office. He told me to bring you there.”A knot of anxiety tightened in my stomach. It wasn’t unusual for Alex to call me to his office, but after w

Kelly’s POVThe word “killer” hung in the air like a noose tightening around my neck, suffocating and impossible to shake. Gina’s mocking voice echoed in my head, taunting me.Killer.But what she didn’t know, what I hadn’t even fully come to terms with, was that I didn’t regret it. Holly deserved every second of her ending. I wished I could go back, do it all over again, and this time relish in the satisfaction. The memory was horrifying, yes. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the sense of justice that came with it; I could have been the one killed by Holly, but fate has made it this way.All of a sudden, a flashback of my foster father came to mind. Am I really a killer?. I might even have excuses for both circumstances, but what am I in the eyes of justice? 1After the call ended, I sat motionless, staring blankly at Alex’s phone in my hands. My mind raced as Gina’s words burrowed deeper into my psyche. How dare she throw Holly’s death in my face after everything she and Hol

Kelly’s POVMorning crept into the room slowly, its light soft and unobtrusive, as though even the sun knew I needed more time to heal. The warmth of Alex’s arms around me was the only thing keeping the haunting memories at bay. His steady breathing against my back reminded me that, despite everything, I was no longer alone in the nightmare. A morning not in that warehouse.I stirred slightly, careful not to wake him. The events of the warehouse were still fresh in my mind, replaying like a broken record. Those guards watching me urinate, depriving me of every sense of privacy. I couldn't even employ the thoughts of escaping; I felt helpless. I didn't know a tear had escaped my left eye. Holly’s wicked smirk, her threats, and the sickening sound of her crumpling to the floor filled my thoughts. My hands trembled at the memory of her blood on them, but what unsettled me most was the sense of relief I’d felt when it was over.“Kelly?” Alex’s voice broke into my thoughts, soft and laced

Alex's POVThe SUV screeched to a halt outside the sprawling hotel where Gina wanted to meet. I stepped out, a storm brewing inside me. Every instinct screamed to leave this woman to rot in whatever chaos she was spinning, but Kelly’s life was at stake. My fists clenched as I thought of Kelly’s pale face from the photo Gina had sent. My heart ached, and my rage bubbled dangerously beneath the surface.“Finn, status update,” I barked into the phone; immediately Finn picked up my calls as I strode into the hotel lobby.“We’re on it, boss. The informant gave us a list of four possible warehouses. We’re checking the first one immediately we get into Mexico,” Finn replied. His voice was calm, but I could hear the tension.“Good,” I muttered, glancing around the lobby. It looked almost the same as it had years ago when I first met Gina. Memories I’d tried to bury came rushing back uninvited, tangling with the chaos of my present reality. I didn't care about all that now; Kelly is all that m

Alex’s POVThe room was silent except for the sound of my fist slamming against the desk. Papers scattered everywhere, but I didn’t care. I couldn’t care less. Kelly was missing, and every passing second without her chipped away at my sanity; this was day 5 of her being kidnapped. I felt every connection I had was useless as nothing has led me to her yet. My constant fear, “What if they kill her? But I realized, on Daniela's words, whoever had her is using her as collateral; else I would have heard something. I had accounted for everybody found, and it wasn't hers; I tried to keep hopes alive.Finn stood across the room, his face tight with concern. He had been my right-hand man for years, loyal to a fault, but even he looked shaken. “I've never seen you this way, boss; you need to eat at the very least.”.“What if they are starving her?” I asked, “She has to be somewhere, Finn!” I growled, pacing back and forth. “We’re missing something. We’re overlooking something!”Finn sighed, run

Kelly's POVDarkness. That’s all I could see when I first opened my eyes. My head throbbed, each heartbeat a sharp, stabbing pain that seemed to echo in my skull. I tried to move, but the cold bite of metal cuffs around my wrists stopped me. The air was heavy and damp, with the faint stench of mold and old wood filling my nostrils. Wherever I was, it wasn’t anywhere Alex could find me easily. It was the second day.Panic clawed at my chest, threatening to choke me. Stay calm, I told myself. But the fear wouldn’t let go.Then I heard footsteps, slow, deliberate, echoing in the distance. My breath hitched as the sound grew closer. A door creaked open, flooding the room with dim yellow light. My eyes squinted against the sudden brightness, and I could just make out two figures walking toward me.Gina. Her striking face twisted into a malicious grin, and beside her, it was Holly, Her presence felt cold, as though cruelty radiated off her in waves. Two men followed them in.“Well, look who

Alex’s POVThe moment I realized Kelly was gone, something inside me snapped. The world blurred, and all I could hear was the deafening roar of my own heartbeat. The love of my life—the one person who gave me purpose—had been taken, and I hadn’t been there to stop it.I stood in the middle of the empty ballroom, her name escaping my lips like a desperate prayer. "Kelly!" My voice reverberated off the walls, but the silence that followed was a cruel reminder that she wasn’t there.Finn and Daniela rushed to my side, their faces etched with concern."Alex," Finn said, gripping my shoulder. "We’ll find her. You need to focus."But I couldn’t focus. Not when every second that passed felt like another inch she was pulled away from me. My chest heaved as anger and fear warred within me. I grabbed Finn by the collar, my voice a growl."Focus? She’s out there with God knows who, and you want me to focus?!""Alex!" Daniela’s voice cut through my fury like a blade. She stepped between us, her e

Kelly’s POVFrom the moment they grabbed me, I fought with every ounce of strength I had. My heart pounded like a war drum, adrenaline coursing through my veins as I thrashed and kicked against their unrelenting grip. Desperation clawed at me, each scream tearing from my throat with raw intensity. But the silky material of my dress, once a symbol of elegance, betrayed me, clinging to my skin and restricting my movements. Every step I tried to take became a stumble, the fabric twisting around my legs like a vice. Is this the world Alex has always tried to protect me from?.Before I could find my footing, a rough hand yanked me back with such force that I gasped, the air rushing out of my lungs. "Let me go!" I screamed, the words echoing into the night like a desperate prayer, I was scared, my strength wavering.One of the men snorted, his tone dripping with amusement. "Feisty, isn’t she?" I barely had time to process his mocking words before a sharp slap cracked across my face, sen

Alex’s POVThe night seemed to stretch endlessly after Gina’s dramatic exit. I stood near the entrance of the Riviera Hall, the faint buzz of party chatter filtering through the doors behind me, I had to leave my audience to make sure she was completely gone, Gina can be a crazy bitch. Finn approached, his footsteps steady, his sharp suit catching the light from the chandeliers above.“She’s gone,” Finn said quietly, his voice laced with reassurance. “Security escorted her off the premises, and they’ll make sure she doesn’t get back in. I had the guards stationed outside the gates just in case she decides to pull anything else, I'm sorry this happened”I let out a slow breath, the tension in my shoulders easing slightly. “Thanks, Finn. I needed that, don't be sorry, it's not my fault, my past is just not wanting to let go, all the more reasons I'm glad Kelly is besides me and all these tantrums doesn't move her”Finn reached into his pocket and pulled out his cigar case again. “You lo

Alex's POVThe night was finally here. The Riviera Hall stood proud and resplendent, bathed in the soft golden glow of fairy lights strung along the perimeter. A crimson carpet stretched from the entrance to the grand double doors, flanked by elegant floral arrangements that mirrored the theme: black and gold. The air buzzed with excitement, laughter, and the faint notes of classical music floating from the live band warming up inside.I stood outside the hall, adjusting the cuffs of my tailored black tuxedo with gold accents, feeling both anticipation and pride. Tonight wasn’t just about celebrating my love for Kelly, it was also a showcase of our ability to pull off something magnificent together I know it hasn't been so long I've known her, but no woman has ever locked me down like she does, her soul and love makes my heartless soul beat and pant after her.
