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 next morning, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I actually did make Alex change his mind about me leaving the company. His concern for my safety was valid, but leaving the company felt like an abandonment of my principles. I needed to take control of the narrative, both for myself and for us.Without much thought, out of excitement, I grabbed my phone and dialed Daniela. She answered the call, her voice cheerful despite the early hour.“Kelly! Morning! Are you okay?”“Hi, Daniela. I’m okay,” I began hesitantly. “Actually, I wanted to update you about the work stuff.”“Of course! Spill it,” she said, her tone shifting to one of curiosity.I took a deep breath. “I’ve decided I’m not leaving the company. Alex and I came to a compromise. At first I accepted it because of Gina and the attempt on my life, but I need to live and not be in hiding just because some ex-wife misses what she once had. There'll be increased security measures, but I’m staying.”There was a pause bef

Kelly's POVAlex and I were finally in a good place again, and Daniela's loyalty—she is currently my only friend apart from Alex—had reinforced my belief that I wasn’t alone in this.After stretching and yawning, I grabbed my phone to check for any messages. There were lots of reactions to the article I’d written about Gina.It seemed that exposing Gina’s manipulative antics had turned the tide in my favor within the company.Amid the barrage of messages, one stood out—a reminder for my follow-up doctor’s appointment. I’d nearly forgotten about the check-up. My injuries were healing, but I was eager to hear what the doctor had to say about my progress.With a deep breath, I decided to handle this day head-on.******Later that morning,The doctor arrived at the mansion just in time. I wanted him to come early so I could return back to work.“Good morning, Kelly, been a while, dear,” he said.“Yes, it has. Thanks, Doctor,” I replied, settling in. “How’s everything looking?”He smiled re

Holly’s POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror, hatred etched into every feature of my face. Kelly. The name itself filled me with a rage I could barely contain. How dare she waltz into my life and take everything I deserved? She wasn’t just a threat; she was my enemy.I hadn’t always been this way, but life had a way of hardening you. People like Kelly always came out on top, while those like me were left in the shadows, forgotten. That wouldn’t be my fate, not this time.Taking a deep breath, I smirked at the irony of it all. The message I’d sent her earlier was just the beginning. Little did she know that her precious Alex wasn’t as untouchable as she thought. I had allies now, Alex’s rivals, desperate to see him fall, and I intended to use them.“Miss Holly,” a voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned to see Victor, one of Alex’s fiercest competitors, standing in the doorway.“Victor,” I greeted, my tone smooth. “I trust you have the information I need?”He handed me a folder,

Alex’s POVThe room was dimly lit, shadows dancing across the walls as Finn sat across from me, nursing a glass of bourbon.I picked a club for us to meet at; I didn't want it to be at home. Kelly might walk into the study or hear us. The weight of the situation pressed heavily on me; he could see it, and I knew what I was about to propose would cross a line Kelly doesn't want me to cross. But I was a Don, and in this world, mercy was a luxury I couldn’t afford."Finn," I began, my voice low but steady, "Holly has gone too far. She's not just playing games anymore; she's threatening everything we've built, everything I’ve worked for, and worst of all, she's targeting Kelly. How can such a little girl do that, and we watch her go scot-free? If it was just Kelly's betrayal, I would have allowed her to pass, but she's doing a lot to piss me off. I can't stay put."Finn leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes assessing me. "And what exactly do you have in mind? Because I know that look, A

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.

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

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?
