Kelly’s POVI opened my eyes and found out it was morning.Alex’s arms were still wrapped around me as I stirred awake, his steady breathing tickling the back of my neck.“You’re awake,” he murmured, his voice still husky with sleep.“Barely,” I replied, snuggling closer. “It feels too early to get up.”“That’s because it is,” he said with a low chuckle. “But you have to. Work calls, doesn’t it?”“Why do you always ruin perfectly good mornings with the mention of work?” I teased, turning in his arms to face him.“Because I’m the responsible one here,” he said smugly, brushing a strand of hair away from my face.I rolled my eyes. “Right, Mr. Responsible. Weren’t you the same person who tried to convince me to skip work last week for a spontaneous road trip?”“Guilty as charged,” he admitted, grinning. “But that’s because I wanted to spend more time with you.”“And now you’re rushing me out of bed. Make it make sense, Alex.”He laughed, his blue eyes sparkling. “Fine, stay in bed. But d

Kelly’s POVThe office was buzzing with activity, as it always was on a Thursday morning. I sat at my desk, the steady hum of keyboards and phones creating a comforting backdrop. My coffee cup sat half-empty beside me, the warm aroma mingling with the scent of fresh paper. Daniela, my closest friend at work, approached my desk with a sly smile plastered on her face.“Morning, Kelly,” she said, leaning against my desk. “You look different today. Spill it.”I laughed, shaking my head as I typed out an email. “Good morning to you too, Daniela. And what’s that supposed to mean?”“You’re glowing,” she teased. “Come on, don’t play coy. What happened? Did Alex do something romantic again? He seems like the type to make every day feel like Valentine’s Day; after all, he's the boss, and he has the money, so this crazy economy has nothing on him”.My fingers paused on the keyboard as I smiled to myself. I couldn’t keep the secret any longer. Lowering my voice, I said, “Well, if you must know...

Kelly’s POVThe night wasn't so long, not enough for me; I still wanted to sleep more, but the sun was up already, painting my bedroom in soft golden hues. I didn't close the curtain well last night. I stretched lazily, my fingers grazing the edge of the velvet box that housed the ring. Alex had insisted I wear it today, but every time I looked at it, I felt a mixture of emotions. Commitment, pride, and a tiny twinge of fear. It wasn’t that I wasn’t ready for this next chapter with him, but wearing the ring to work felt like inviting unnecessary attention. Take that IT dude, for example; he's a bit cute, but Alex would eat him raw.Still, I picked it up and slid it onto my finger. It fit perfectly, the solitaire diamond catching the morning light and casting little rainbows on the walls. For a moment, I admired how it looked on me. It screamed elegance, power, and, of course, Alex’s unwavering love.But then, doubt crept in.“What if it causes a scene? What if people start whispering,

Alex’s POVThe stunt Raymond pulled with the flowers had left a mark, not just on Kelly but on me too. If anyone thought they could disrespect her or us without consequence, they were in for a rude awakening, all these hit harder because of Gina, talk about cheating on the don with a common bodyguard that's the lowest one can go, and here I am bothered about an employee sending flowers to my new woman, the fuck is all these?!!!!.I paced the length of my office, phone in hand, waiting for Finn to show up with an update. When he finally walked in, the look on his face told me he had something interesting to share.“Boss,” Finn began, shutting the door behind him, “we’ve got a situation. About the IT guy.”“What about him?” I asked, leaning back against my desk.Finn crossed his arms. “We followed him home last night, as you instructed. Guy lives in a neighborhood that’s… let’s just say, a bit too upscale for what he should be able to afford on his salary.”My eyebrows shot up. “You’re

Alex’s POVThe beginning of the week should have felt like a fresh start. Instead, my mind was weighed down with the unresolved situation surrounding Raymond. As I straightened my tie and prepared to leave for work, I told myself I had to stay one step ahead of him for Kelly’s sake and my own.I grabbed my briefcase and was halfway to the door when the unmistakable sound of heels clicking on the staircase drew my attention. I turned, and there she was, Kelly, descending the steps with a grace that could silence the world.She looked stunning. Her white dress was a masterpiece, fitted at the waist and flaring just slightly above her knees. The delicate lace details shimmered faintly in the morning sunlight, while the plunging neckline walked the perfect line between bold and elegant. Her nude stilettos added inches to her already statuesque figure, and she carried a sleek silver clutch that completed the look.Her hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face perfectly, and her ma

Alex’s POVMy mind was clouded with thoughts of Raymond’s audacity. Following Kelly? The mere thought of him being anywhere near her sent a surge of anger coursing through my veins. Finn’s update earlier had only confirmed what I already knew: Raymond wasn’t going to back off without being dealt with.I strode to my car, my steps brisk, the click of my shoes echoing in the underground parking lot. Sliding into the driver’s seat, I pulled out my phone and dialed Finn.“Finn, any new updates?” I asked, my voice cold and sharp.“Not yet, boss,” he replied. “But I’ve got two of my men tailing Raymond. He’s staying at a small hotel downtown. It looks like he’s trying to lay low.”“Good. Keep him under surveillance,” I instructed. “I want every move he makes documented. And make sure Kelly doesn’t find out about this. I don’t want her worrying.”“Understood,” Finn said before hanging up.I exhaled heavily, gripping the steering wheel tightly. I needed to figure out my next move, but I could

Kelly’s POVAlex returned home that evening looking every bit the composed man I admired. But something was off. I could see it in the slight rigidity of his posture and the tight set of his jaw. He carried himself like everything was fine, yet his eyes betrayed a storm beneath the surface.I didn’t press him. Not yet. Alex was the kind of man who needed time to unwind and sort through his thoughts before he could share them. Instead, I greeted him with a warm smile and a kiss on the cheek, pretending not to notice his distracted responses.“How was work?”“Exhausting,” he replied, his voice gruff.“Well, you’re home now. That’s all that matters.”I kept my tone light and cheerful, hoping to ease some of the tension in his shoulders. He gave me a small smile in return, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.Dinner was quiet. Alex barely touched his food, and when I asked if he wanted more, he shook his head. The man who usually indulged in conversations with enthusiasm seemed preoccupied

Alex’s POVThe weight of Kelly’s confession lingered heavily in my mind as I watched her finally drift off to sleep. She looked so peaceful, her soft breaths steady against the tension in the room, yet I knew the storm of her past had left her vulnerable. Her words replayed in my head—her pain, her fear, her guilt. It only fueled the fire within me to protect her at all costs.Once I was sure she was deeply asleep, I slipped out of bed and walked into the living room, where I could speak freely. Grabbing my phone, I dialed Finn. He picked up on the second ring, his voice alert despite the late hour.“Boss,” he said, a note of concern in his tone. “What’s going on?”I took a deep breath. “Finn, Raymond was right about Kelly’s past. There was something she’s been hiding, but it’s not a big deal.”There was silence on the line for a moment before Finn responded. “What did you find out?”I hesitated, then said, “When she was a child, she killed her foster father.”“What?” Finn’s voice was

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.
