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's POVThe text lingered on my screen, the blurry picture coming into focus as I zoomed in. Holly. Of all people. My mind raced, trying to piece together the connection between her and Raymond. It didn’t make sense unless, of course, she was playing her own game in this twisted mess; this little child does not know the kind of world she's trying so hard to be part of.Without wasting another second, I dialed Finn’s number. He picked up on the first ring.“Boss?” he answered, his tone sharp and ready.“You’ve got eyes on him?I just got reports from Shadow; did you also get it?” I asked, my voice low to avoid waking Kelly, who was still sleeping beside me.“Yes, I did. I guess I'm not so surprised that Holly or Gina was behind this anyways,” Finn replied. “And you’re not going to like what I have to say, trust me.”“Try me,” I said, steeling myself.“Holly’s still with him,” Finn said. “She’s not just visiting either. She’s taken care of him, cleaned him up, made him food, the whole

Alex’s POVI lay sprawled on the couch, Kelly nestled against me, flipping through a wedding magazine she’d insisted on buying a week ago, same Kelly that doesn't wantbt. My mind wasn’t fully on the glossy pages she was eagerly showing me; instead, I was focused on what Daniela had suggested earlier about an engagement party.“Hey, babe,” I started, breaking the silence.“Hmm?” she replied without looking up, her fingers pointing at a lace wedding dress in the magazine.“I was talking to Daniela earlier,” I said, leaning forward and grabbing the remote to turn off the TV. “She suggested we throw an engagement party. What do you think?”Kelly’s eyes lit up, and she closed the magazine with a soft thud. “An engagement party? Really?”“Yeah. She said it’s a great way to celebrate and network. I thought it wasn’t a bad idea, and I figured you’d like it too.”Her lips curved into a smile. “I love it! But... do we have enough time to plan something nice? I’d want it to be special.”I reache

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. Daniela had outdone herself with the organization, and I made a mental note to double her bonus.A tap on my shoulder pulled m

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

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 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 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 familiar hum of the jet’s engine filled the cabin as we soared through the sky, heading home. Rome had been a dream a much-needed escape but now, reality awaited. I glanced to my side, where Kelly was curled up in her seat, fast asleep. Her head rested on my shoulder, her hand still in mine, the new engagement ring glinting under the cabin lights. What more could I have wanted? What else is there to desire?, I smiled, satisfied this is the love they said men like me cannot afford for it comes with a price, I'm paying it!.I brushed my thumb over her fingers, feeling the weight of everything we’d been through, her wrist still had scars, which the ointments had not completely cleared, I know it will go, I'm looking forward, She deserved peace, love, and happiness, and I intended to give her that for the rest of our lives.A soft sigh escaped her lips as she stirred, blinking up at me with sleepy eyes.“We’re almost home,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to her forehead.She s

Kelly’s POVThe golden sunlight poured into the room, waking me gently. The soft rustle of leaves outside the villa’s window accompanied the birds’ morning song. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt at peace. No nightmares, no unease. Just peace. I stretched out on the king-sized bed, sinking further into the plush duvet.I turned my head toward the open terrace doors. The view was breathtaking, Rome lay sprawled beneath the early morning light, the city bathed in hues of amber and gold. It felt like something out of a dream, and for a moment, I almost forgot about the chaos and pain that had consumed my life weeks ago.After a few minutes of savoring the serenity, I reluctantly pulled myself out of bed and made my way to the adjoining bathroom. The tiles were cool under my feet, and the air carried the faint scent of lavender. I turned on the shower, letting the warm water wash away the last remnants of sleep.Today felt… different. Special, somehow. I couldn’t explai

Alex’s POVThe office clock struck 4:00 PM. The day had been a whirlwind of meetings, calls, and Finn spending most of his digging into the Mr. James Corporation. But just as I was about to pack up, Finn knocked and stepped into my office, a grim expression on his face.“Got something,” he said, closing the door behind him.I gestured for him to take a seat. “I knew there had to be something, I don't necessarily trust concierges What did you find?”“It’s about the concierge,” Finn began, handing me a folder. “Turns out, he was involved in some shady dealings in Italy a few years back. He was linked to a fraudulent acquisition that almost bankrupted a luxury hotel chain, he acted oblivious of a bad deal which affected the companies but he was found guilty, if he were to be normal, then he would be dry and probably in jail or in debts, but the charges were dropped, but only after a hefty settlement and some powerful strings being pulled to clear his name.”I leaned back in my chair, fli

Alex’s POVDinner was ready. The faint aroma of rosemary chicken wafted through the air as I stood outside Kelly’s door. My knuckles hovered over the wood, hesitating for a brief moment. She’d been in there all day, secluded, away from me, away from the world. I couldn’t bear to see her slipping further into herself.I finally knocked.“Kelly,” I called softly, leaning against the door. “Dinner’s ready. I’d really like for us to eat together… at the dining table.”For a few seconds, there was silence. I almost thought she wasn’t going to respond. Then I heard the soft creak of her bed and footsteps padding across the floor.The door cracked open just slightly, her face peeking through the gap. Her eyes still looked tired, distant, but there was no anger in them—just a quiet sadness that tore me apart.“I’m not hungry, Alex,” she said in a small voice.I gave her a gentle smile, trying to mask the ache in my chest. “I know. But it’s been hours since you ate anything. Please, butterfly.

Alex’s POVI watched Kelly retreat into her bedroom, closing the door softly behind her. The sound felt deafening, like the crash of a door shutting on my entire world. She didn’t slam it, that would’ve been easier to take but the quiet, deliberate way she walked away broke something in me, I knew she trusted me but the battle in her to believe me or not was one obvious even to a blind man.I had never seen her like this before. Hurt, angry, and worst of all distant. It was like I couldn’t reach her no matter how much I tried, and the realization terrified me.I sank onto the couch, running a hand through my hair. My chest felt heavy, the weight of guilt and fear pressing down hard. How had I let it come to this? I should have told her about Gina. I should have warned her about the games she played, the manipulations she was capable of. But I didn’t because I thought I could keep that part of my life buried.Stupid. So, so stupid.The images Gina sent played over and over in my mind.

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
