Kelly's POV I woke up at noon the next day, and it felt like I'd just woken up from a dream, but the aching pains in my shoulder and thigh as I tried to sit up proved it wasn't. I feel so weak, and there was this metallic taste in my mouth. I felt a bit feverish but not as bad as before when Holly first stabbed me. Yes, the realization hit me: Holly betrayed me with my boyfriend and tried to kill me. I lay there for a while analyzing how it all felt; I guess me passing out did not blur my memory. I can still remember the first stab on my shoulder; it came fast, a heat and pain ripping through my shoulder, my breath cut sharp and shallow. It wasn't just the pain of the knife cut; it was the person stabbing me. I could see the smirk on her face like I meant nothing to her this whole time she has been in my life; the emotional and physical pain triggered me to just leave, and she still went ahead to stab me again. I screamed when the knife came in contact with my skin; fast, withou

Kelly POVIs it the drugs? I'm starving like mad, but I've made up my mind: till I leave here, I won't be eating anything.Alex opens the door almost immediately. “You know you should eat, yes?” “I need to leave this room, no, this house; I need a change of clothes and undies.”“That shouldn't be a problem. I can get someone to shop for new things for you in brands and in dozens.“Show off your money for all I care, but my will stands.” I scoffed.“Currently, Kelly, I need you to be honest with me; I need you to tell me who attacked you and why they did it.”“I can't trust you. Don't you get it? How many times do you want me to repeat myself? And in all honesty, I'm beginning to feel like you kidnapped me.”He turned and looked at me like I was crazy.“Don't give me that look; this is the 21st century, and you're acting like a mafia or some sort of delusional boss. I have rights, and I could call the cops on you.” I said this trying to act like I wasn't scared he would get mad at me

ALEXANDER POV“Davon?” I thought as I made for the bottle of 1995 Leroy Musigny Grand Cru.“You know Davon is not a name worth pouring a glass for, right?” Daniela said as she walked into my home office.“I don't pour glasses for no man, Daniela.” I chuckled. “I think all my staff know my bottles, and all of you try to profile me once you see me with one, but it's not that deep; something might have just made me want that glass.”.“So what makes you want this bottle right now?” she said, stressing the “want.”.“It's a classic, you know, that's why.” “Boss, Devon has been on foreign soil for a long while hiding his identity; we all know him being here and making it obvious he is here means something.”.“It could mean a fresh start.”.“Do you believe what you just said? yourself, don't you think it has to do with the presence of this young Miss Kelly in your life?”“What are you trying to say?”.“I mean, he's betrayed you before, and for all I care, he could be here because someone hi

ALEXANDER POV…” since the driver is working with us, we can predict his movements and catch him off guard.”“True, but Devon isn’t someone who is easily caught off guard. Keep the driver monitored and see if he can give us more intel. I don’t want to make any rash moves until we know why Devon is back and what he’s after.”Daniela chimed in. “It’s likely that Devon’s return ties into Kelly somehow. Her attackers might be random, but what if they are not? You were not in a prior relationship; it was a one-night stand, and see how her effect ripples. This could be a strategic move to bait you.”“You think someone used her to draw me out?” I asked, swirling my drink thoughtfully.“It’s a possibility. Devon has always been one for elaborate schemes. If Kelly’s presence in your life is known to him, he might see her as a weak spot.”I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair. “If that’s true, it means we’re already compromised. She might not even realize what danger she’s i

KELLY’S POV Finally he's letting me in on what's up.“Devon is almost close to the angel of death, just that I'm worse than him.”.“You're worse? How”.“I'm worse in the sense that I can kill him.” I became scared; what's all this prank?“You're joking, right?” I asked, hoping he'll laugh or say he was just pulling my leg, but nothing; he looked at me point-blank.“From your story, I'm certain you're not affiliated with Devon, so I have to keep you hidden; he has used my weakness when it comes to women I loved, and he hit me so bad“.“Have you tried forgiving and letting go?”.He laughed dryly and said, “Not in my world; we don't forgive; we make them pay.” I swallowed an invisible substance that produced the rising tension in me.“But you do know that with what you just said, I no longer feel safe with you.“We fell silent for a while. “I'll protect you at all costs, Kelly. Your protection will be certain with me, and I'll make sure hell goes empty and men lose their nuts before a s

ALEXANDRA POV“That went better than I thought. She's accepting things better than I expected.”Though the thought of Devon and his mischief lingered, I managed to shower and sleep off ******I woke up to my phone ringing; it was Finn. “Good morning, boss.”“Hey Finn, what's the update?” “The bastard is one of the investors.”.“Who?”“Mr. Williams”“One would think it's someone with bigger balls.” We both laughed. “What gave him out?”“Well, immediately you left, he was the only investor amongst the rest who did not flinch; it was more like he expected things to go wrong. Then we had someone just send photographs of him meeting with Devon just last night.”“Let's feign ignorance on him and focus on Devon; that way we can milk him of his money and take him out.”“Don't you think Devon will find out?”“Yes, we will attack with only force and let him think we're playing our cards out of anger. Let's act the fool in order to play the fool.” This was becoming satisfying. How do I want D

KELLY'S POV “These clothes are top-notch, from the quality of fabrics to the brand names, and they seem comfortable and classy at the same time. Did Daniela help in picking them out? her sense of fashion is solid from her outfit I saw last time”. I was so excited; I needed to get the dressings on my injuries changed, so I pressed the button. Devon had gone to work by now.Just then I heard Snapchat’s notification on my phone. I thought it was Dain, but it wasn't him. It was my colleague at work.“Girl, where have you been? The boss said you were sick; I stopped by the house.”.Should I tell her? No, we are not even that close.“I'm ok.” I texted back.“Yes, I'm a bit down.”“I hope you get better soon.” Her Snapchat avatar remained on the top of the keyboard, signifying she was in the chat; I felt she wanted to hear more.“Thank you. How has work been, and the other girls?”“We've been good; work has been work. You know the drill: get well and get your sniffling ass back to work; we

ALEXANDER POVI called Finn immediately I was ready.“What's up? Meet me at the company; Williams just requested a private meeting with me this morning.”.“Alright, I'll be there.”.I drove out.********Daniela walked up to me as I walked into the company. It's like she's been waiting forever.“Finally you're here. Is this true what I heard about Mr. Williams? Finn told me he is acquainted with Devon and is the leak.”*Yup, he is, I said, not paying total attention to her; a staff member greeted us as we waited for the elevator.“Has he said anything in addition to wanting to see me?”“No boss, he just wanted a time today; I gave him one, and boom, he was already on his way here.”.“That's fast,” I smiled and thought of how desperate he must be to watch me fall.*****"Mr. Williams welcomed me with a firm handshake as I walked into the conference room. His usual calm demeanor betrayed nothing, but I already knew better.“Mr. Bloodhound, good to see you,” he started, gesturing for me

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 POVI lay sprawled on the bed, fresh from the shower, my damp hair clinging to my shoulders. The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm hue over the room, while the faint hum of night crickets filled the air. My fingers trailed lazily over my phone screen as I scrolled through a few work emails, though my mind wasn’t fully engaged.Tomorrow was going to be another busy day at work, and I was debating whether to wear the cream blouse with the floral pencil skirt or stick with the classic black dress that never failed me. I sighed, tossing my phone to the side and staring up at the ceiling, pondering the endless decisions that came with adulting.The knock on the door startled me slightly, pulling me out of my thoughts. Before I could respond, Alex pushed the door open, a boyish grin on his face.“Do you ever wait for an invitation?” I teased, sitting up and pulling the blanket over my legs.“You don’t seem like the type who’d turn me away,” he shot back, stepping fully into

Alex’s POVI sat across from Kelly, watching her sift through the shopping bags scattered across the floor. She had an almost childlike excitement, carefully pulling out each item as if she were rediscovering them. "How many more bags do we have?" she asked, tossing a playful glance my way. "Too many," I replied, grinning. "But every single one was worth it." She held up the shimmering silver gown, the one that had everyone in the boutique staring. "This one... I still can't believe you picked it." "Why not?" I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees. "It’s you. Bold. Stunning. Unforgettable." Her cheeks flushed, but she quickly masked it by holding the dress against herself and twirling. "You’re laying it on thick tonight, Alex." "Is it working?" I teased. She shrugged, smirking. "Maybe." Just as she was about to sit, my phone buzzed on the coffee table. The sharp vibration cut through the room's cozy ambiance. Kelly’s eyes flicked to the screen. "Work?" she asked, her

Alex’s POVI stood by the dining table, watching Kelly prepare her plate, completely unaware of the thoughts swirling through my head. She looked radiant, even with her hair slightly disheveled and her morning robe loose around her shoulders. Moments like this reminded me of why I fought so hard to keep her in my life."Are you going to just stare, or are you actually going to eat?" she teased, flashing me a mischievous grin as she stabbed a piece of toast with her fork.“I was just wondering how someone could look so beautiful and innocent, not that you're so innocent ,” I replied smoothly, pulling out a chair and sitting beside her.“Flattery, you know I sometimes don't see this beauty everyone sees; you know I feel cute from time to time, but sometimes I feel you all just exaggerate how I look,” she said, though I caught the blush rising in her cheeks.We started eating in silence, though Kelly’s idea of eating seemed to involve finding creative ways to make me laugh.“Here,” she s

Kelly’s POVAs I walked back into the mansion, my heart was still racing from the confrontation with Gina. Every word of our exchange replayed in my mind like a warning siren. I couldn’t let her get to me or Alex. My resolve was firm, but I couldn’t ignore the sense of foreboding creeping up my spine.I pushed open the door, determined to shake off the unease. To my surprise, Alex was standing by the doorway, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. The intensity in his eyes made my steps falter.“Alex,” I said softly, my voice betraying my nervousness. “I didn’t know you’d be waiting here.” Was he listening all this while?He didn’t respond immediately, his piercing gaze locked on mine. My heart sank. Had he heard? “Say something,” I screamed in my head.“You called Gina,” he said evenly, though there was an edge to his tone.I froze, the blood draining from my face. “You—uh—you heard?” I made myself walk closer in order to not show how shaken I am thinking he's about to pick an offe

Kelly’s POVThe day after the attack was chaotic, yet there was a strange sense of normalcy in the routine. At least, on the surface. I had spent most of the morning engrossed in my work at the front desk, filing appointments, organizing schedules, and handling client correspondence. The attack was still fresh in my mind, but Alex had assured me that it was under control. He hadn’t gone into detail, though, and I didn’t press him. After all, I had enough on my plate already.By the time lunchtime rolled around, I decided to surprise Alex and Daniela with an order from their favorite restaurant. I picked up my phone and placed the order quickly, hoping it would cheer Alex up. He’d been distant, his mind clearly elsewhere.Once the food arrived, I carried it up to Alex’s office. Daniela was already there, seated on the couch, her laptop balanced on her knees.“Lunch break!” I announced, placing the bags on Alex’s desk.“Finally,” Daniela said, stretching. “I was starting to think I’d ha

Alex’s POVThe morning after the attack, I woke to the quiet tension that had filled the house. Kelly was still asleep, her figure serene in the soft morning light. For a moment, I let myself breathe. I needed this—the calm before the storm.Downstairs in my office, Marcus and Daniela were already waiting for me. The air was charged with unspoken thoughts.“Boss,” Marcus began, “we finished going through the car and found this.”He handed me a manila folder.I flipped it open, scanning the contents. My stomach twisted into a knot as I read the message inside:“Hello, Alex. You thought I’d fade into the shadows, but I always leave a trail. Evidence of your little empire’s skeletons is in my hands. I’m not looking to sell it to the authorities yet... but I want you to think carefully about what I can do with it. Choose wisely, darling.

Alex’s POVThe soft hum of my office heater was the only noise as I leaned back in my chair, reviewing our latest quarterly reports. My focus was razor-sharp; after all, I had an empire to run. I didn't want this to be a front anymore; I want something more legal for Kelly's sake. Yet, as always, thoughts of Kelly lingered at the edges of my mind.Her birthday had been a success. She was radiant, happy, and, most importantly, by my side. Everything I did was for her, whether she realized it or not.The intercom on my desk crackled, breaking my concentration. "Mr. Bloodhound" came from the voice of Paul, one of the security guards stationed downstairs."Yes?" I responded, sitting up straight."Sir, there’s a situation with your car. One of the rear tires is punctured. It looks deliberate," he said, his voice unusually tense."Deliberate? How certain are you?""Very certain, sir. Should I have it inspected further?""Stay there. I’ll send someone to check it out," I said, immediately en

Kelly’s POV"Kelly! Kelly, wake up!" Alex’s voice jolted me out of a dream I couldn’t quite remember. His hand was warm on my shoulder, shaking me gently.I groaned, rolling over. "Alex, it’s still dark out. What are you doing?""It’s 8 a.m., Angel," he said, his tone playful but firm. "Come on, get dressed. We have somewhere to be."I sat up, blinking. "Somewhere to be? On a Sunday? Alex, I had plans to sleep in and maybe binge-watch some crime drama."He grinned. "Well, your plans just changed. Trust me, you’ll love this.""Do I at least get a hint?""Not a chance," he said, tugging the blanket off me. "Now hurry up. I’ll be downstairs. You have twenty minutes."I groaned again but swung my legs off the bed. "Fine, but this better be worth it."By the time I made it downstairs, dressed in jeans and a cozy sweater, Alex was leaning against the kitchen counter, sipping coffee. He looked up and smiled. "Ready?""As ready as I’ll ever be," I said, grabbing the cup he’d set out for me. "
