KELLY POV My eyes caught Holly's worried gaze as I took my fifth shot of tequila. She should take a chill pill. I'm not going to pass out on her. We are at Brooklyn's most expensive nightclub, and it's not as if we just got in here by luck. I work here, and they let me take someone with me because I'm a staff.That's why my best friend is here with me, and the main reason is... It's my twentieth birthday! My boyfriend Dain is supposed to be here with us, but he said he had something important to take care of, and I'm guessing it has to do with his mother. That's the only thing important to him apart from me."Kelly, quit drinking. You know I can't handle you when you are drunk. How will I carry you out of this place without any assistance?" She pointed out taking the glass out of my hand as I tried to take another shot."It's a club, Holly; you can ask anyone for help; they will gladly help you; it's a free world; you don't have to worry about anything." I smiled, taking the shot

KELLY POVEverything was a mistake.My life itself is a mistake, and I don't know how I ended up making another. I quickly snapped out of my pathetic thoughts. "You are awake." He stated the obvious as I wrapped the duvet around my chest: "Yes, but I wish I passed away instead of waking up in a stranger's bed." I huffed, picking up my clothes from the floor while using one hand to hold the duvet on my chest.What am I even hiding? The pervert has seen it all while he was having his fill with me last night.Last night... Where was Holly? Why didn't she stop him? Is she alright?"That's not a healthy thought, Kelly," he said, and I paused too angry to let this go."You stupid jerk! Don't you ever call my name again; in fact, I never want to see your stupid face in front of me, fucking pervert. I should report you to the police." I gritted out, but he seemed so chill, like I didn't just threaten to report him for raping me."You are only mad because you don't remember what happened; you

ALEXANDER POV I might have turned into a statue as I watched her go; she just insulted me in the presence of my men.They all stayed silent, waiting for me to shoot her in the head or something, but I couldn't move; instead, I found myself wanting to follow her. I have always loved a challenge, and Kelly seems like the type I would want to keep. "Should I go after her?" Finn, my second in command, asked.He thinks I want him to go finish her off, but it was far from that; I want to keep her instead, which doesn't make any sense. I don't chase women or try to make them stay.Kelly is a bit different from all the women I have met ever since my ex-wife left me. The women usually are the ones to try to get my attention, but I found myself wanting Kelly to look at me at the bar last night.She didn't seem impressed or even try to make advances at me until she was completely wasted. I should have stopped her, but I couldn't because I couldn't think straight.I wanted her so badly.And I s

KELLY POV The tears streamed down my chin as I hopped into the taxi. I couldn't even stop myself from sobbing like a child.The driver was stealing glances.at me, but he couldn't ask if I was okay. This is New York; not everyone is okay with their lives, and a sobbing girl in his taxi shouldn't be his problem. I wiped the tears trying to figure out what I would say to Holly or Dain. I really hope Holly is alright, because I don't understand why she will let me out of her sight.Was she drunk too?Or is it just my fault that I went back to the handsome stranger I met at the bar? I'm such a dumb idiot. All these wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been drinking like that; my head is pounding and my stomach rumbles loudly enough for the driver to hear. I didn't have the time to be embarrassed because I was busy reflecting on my actions. "Here." The driver tossed me a chocolate bar, and I grabbed it, tearing it open.My eyes caught my reflection in the side mirror, and I looked terri

KELLY POVI gasped as Dain forced me to sit, and Holly chuckled before pulling him closer. Then she kissed him again, this time with her eyes on me.It felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and her betrayal stinged even more than Dain's. We are like soul sisters, and I love her so damn much.I didn't expect this from Dain or even from her. I have never felt so heartbroken all my life; she pulled away, smirking at me."How did that make you feel?" She taunted."Nauseous," I replied, wiping the tears on my cheeks; it didn't stop more from falling. This is Holly, my nice friend that looks out for me, the one that was worried that I would get lost in the crowd last night. The one I shared everything with, and nobody knows her like she knows me; she is the reason I'm not in college now. I gave her my savings because she had a debt she wanted to pay.This is how she repays me? Sleeping with my boyfriend behind my back and holding a knife at me."Oh, don't cry, you poor thing. Loo

Alex’s POV Phone rings. “Daniela, I'm in the middle of the investors meeting. Why is my cell ringing?” ? “Sir, it's your personal phone; you don't have control over it.”. I checked and saw that it was Finn calling. What could he possibly have to say? I ended the call. **Phone beeps some minutes later; it was a picture of my butterfly in blood from Finn. I stormed out of the meeting while placing a call to Finn. “What the hell happened to her?” I yelled as my heart was filled with rage. “Sir, she was attacked by two people, a lady and a male, in her apartment.”. “Why did you not call sooner? What's the possibility of her being alive? Where are you right now? I asked all these without waiting for an answer from him. “Sir, you need to calm down.” “Don't bloody ask me to calm down and tell me where the hell you are, else I'll make sure you see your maker once I take sight of you.”. “We are driving to the mansion to get her treatment.

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

Alex’s POVThe city lights blurred into streaks of gold and red as I drove home in silence. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles stiff and aching. I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t sad. I wasn’t even numb.

Maybe I knew this but lived in denial all these while, maybe I didn't tell myself the truth, why was it affecting me all of a sudden.She hadn’t been taken from us in some tragic accident or fatal illness.She left, now that I was having my baby I promise not to leave, except death takes me away.She chose to walk away.And she chose him, what If Kelly leaves?

Alex’s POVThere are moments in life that shift everything you thought you knew. Moments that carve themselves so deeply into your mind that no matter how much time passes, they remain there, untouched, as vivid as the day they happened.This was one of those moments.I walked out of that private club, my conversation with the concierge still simmering in my mind, when I ran into a man I hadn’t seen in years—Mr. Callahan. A man I had barely paid attention to in my father’s time, yet in a single sentence, he had just shaken my entire world.“That’s odd. I saw her not too long ago.”I had spent most of my life believing my mother was dead. My father had told me she was gone, taken too soon, leaving behind only memories. I had grieved for her, learned to live with the emptiness she left behind. But now, this man was standing here, telling me she wasn’t just alive—she had been seen, living, breathing, with someone else.My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and I fought to keep my voi

Kelly’s POVThe past few days had been blissful. Alex had made it his personal mission to spoil me, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying every second of it. If I so much as sighed, he was already on his feet, asking what I needed. Daniela found it endlessly amusing, but deep down, I knew she loved how much Alex cared for me, she has been by his side for too long.However, as much as I felt safe in his arms, something had started to creep into my nights.The nightmares.At first, I thought it was just stress, my body adjusting to pregnancy hormones. But the images that played behind my eyelids were too vivid, too terrifying to be brushed off as a simple symptom.I dreamt of being trapped in the dark, the walls pressing in on me. Cold hands grabbed at my arms, my legs, and faceless figures whispered my name in eerie, distorted voices. Then there was the sharp pain, the sensation of being dragged away, and always—always—a voice laughing cruelly in the distance, it was from the ca

Alex’s POVThe next morning, I was finally discharged from the hospital after a series of check-ups and a long lecture from the doctor about taking it easy. Kelly, of course, had been hovering around like a mother hen, making sure I didn’t do anything reckless like getting out of bed too fast.Before we left, I asked the doctor for a full pregnancy test for Kelly. I needed to know exactly how far along she was. When the results came back, the doctor confirmed that she was about a month pregnant.A month.That meant that even while she had been kidnapped, while I had been tearing through the city like a madman trying to find her, she had been carrying my child. At that moment she seemed more precious to me than ever, we had eight months to prepare.The thought made something tighten in my chest.I turned to her, my expression softening. “You were already pregnant back then…”Kelly blinked, as if the realization had just hit her too. “Oh my God,” she murmured. “That explains why I kept

Kelly’s POV“Why are you not eating butterfly?” Alex asked concerned“I don't like eating in hospitals”“No one does” Daniela added.Just then I remembered I brought the perfumes I got her from the trip.“Here you go, I brought these here for you”“Awwwnnn Kelly, you're so sweet’“Don't you see what she's doing?,” Alex asked.“Alex, I know you think I'm deviating from the topic”“ I don't think, I know you are, you haven't eaten anything tangible”.“Grab a plate Kelly, you need the strength to watch over Alex too”.“Trust me I'm ok, I'll eat a burger later” I avoided mentioning how I felt nauseous.“Daniela give her some please”.I sat on the edge of Alex’s hospital bed, absently stirring the plate of food Daniela had insisted I eat. She and Alex were both watching me like hawks, their expressions a mix of frustration and concern. I knew they meant well, but the idea of eating in a hospital still made my stomach turn.“Kelly, eat,” Alex ordered, his voice firm but gentle. “You barely

Alex’s POVThe morning of the procedure arrived faster than I expected. I wasn’t one to be nervous about things like this, but something about being in a hospital bed, hooked up to wires and monitors, made me feel powerless, the pathetic look on Kelly's face played its part too, I just wanted this to be done.I hated the feeling.Kelly was right beside me, her fingers tangled with mine. She was doing her best to hide her anxiety, but I could feel it in the way her grip tightened every few minutes, like she was reassuring herself that I was still here.“Hey,” I said, my voice lower than I intended. “You okay?”She let out a quiet laugh, though there was no humor in it. “I should be asking you that, one minute we are in Rome the next we're in a hospital, let's go back to Italy” she teasedI gave her hand a squeeze. “I’m fine, Italy won't make me feel better, even if we're there, I'll be in the hospital”A lie.

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
