I woke up later in the morning to find myself in a bed I couldn't recognize. Sitting up, I tossed the bed covers behind me before slipping out of bed. I smiled when I realized that this was Finn's room. I hadn't really taken a good look around it because, for obvious reasons, I hadn't really come in here.
His walls were shades of navy blue and thick black drapes covered his windows, only letting a little crack of light come in. His room wasn't covered up with properties and all of that. I could tell he was a minimalist. A lathe bed situated in the middle of his room, a table with a desktop sitting in front of a swivel chair, a small shelf containing books, picture frames and perfumes, a few posters on the wall, and finally... A guitar.
"Wow," I muttered under my breath as I walked over to the acoustic guitar seated on his s

RAYA's POVFinn and Scarlett were yet to arrive. My mother was being a hassle right now. All she did was remind me that I was strong and able to pull through. I didn't think anything was as annoying as being told those words. But I listened to her anyway."Are you sure you're going to be fine or do you want me to be there with you in the theater during the surgery?"I rolled my eyes. "You're going to make the surgery worse. What if your cries distract the surgeon? Might cut a major vein and that would make things really complicated," I patted her hands. "I don't think you have to worry about being with me, Mum.""Finn?" She asked. "I know you like Scarlett a lot, so I'd you don't want any of us there with you. I could speak with her."I sh

FINN.We walked into Raya kissing Volkov and before I could speak, Scarlett pulled me out of the room with force.She turned to me with a look of displeasure and folded an arm over her chest. "Really?""What?" I asked.Rolling her eyes, she began to walk down the hall. I followed after her. "You were going to interrupt their moment, Finn. That would have been rude."I spluttered a laugh. Sometimes she could be really cute. "Rude? In the history of interrupted kisses, no one has ever called it rude, you know?"She stopped when she got to the end of the hall and turned to look at me. "As right as that is, would you have felt happy if your kiss with someone you haven't seen for a while was interrupted by

SCARLETT.An hour and Raya's tantrums later, she was ready for surgery. Eliana had been asked not to feed her or the sort. So they had just kept her food.Volkov had been by her side since morning and was unwilling to leave her side, but now that she was ready to get into the theatre room, the doctors were changed and a mean-looking short man walked in."He looks like he wants to kill me," Raya blurted out loud for everyone to hear. Eliana hit her slightly. "What? Am I not right?"She looked at Volkov. He was trying too hard to hold back his laugh and as soon as Eliana and Finn walked away with the surgeon, he burst into laughter.Finn leaned towards me when he returned.

FINN. Scarlett tried really hard to take our minds off Raya's surgery. She suggested that we play board games and she urged my mother who tried to to avoid it by taking a nap. Somehow, Scarlett knew she wasn't going to take a nap. She was going to spend the rest of the day thinking of Raya and if I was going to be honest with myself, I didn't want to think about her surgery either. We played games for a while and I noticed that this made the air less tense. Everyone had loosened up and soon, we were laughing. Scarlett won several times and my mother told her she had picked the game because she was perfect at it. We played the last round and Scarlett asked her to make any pick of her choice. She went for monopoly. She was really good at playing it. It reminded me of the times we spent at the back of our house playing with our Dad. He used to be the champion. He then thought mother to play and they became the King and Queen of monopoly. I watched as she set the paper b

SCARLETT. I was happy. And so was everyone. Finn had come with good news and after that, Eliana suggested we take a trip to one of the eateries around town for a celebration date. Volkov, who somehow felt like he wasn't in our group, decided to back out but with one state from Eliana, he backed in. The stare of a mother was always effective. Unfortunately, it wasn't the same for my mother. Eliana decided to pay for all of our meals and when Finn suggested helping with the bill, she told him not to try it or she was going to amputate his hands. We had all been shocked by her use of humor but we were soon laughing. Finn had a look of surprise on his face. "I am surrounded by a bunch of adults who take care of themselves. I want to be a mother today so neither of you have any options." I had gotten a call and a test from my mother. She was begging me to pick her calls or at least text her back. After I had gone AWOL for a week, she was definitely worried. I was

SCARLETT. It had to be a dream. Or maybe I was hearing in another language or something. I moved in my seat to fully face Finn who was staring at me. "Are you serious?" I grabbed the scruff of his shirt. "Are you really sure you know what you're saying?" He turned his phone towards me. I gasped and my hand clamped over my mouth as I stared at a photo of Kelvin stepping out of a building with a few suited men walk-in behind him. "That is Moretti. He's the leader of the Mafia gang." Tears spilled down my cheek and I rested my head on his shoulder as I burst into a fit of sobs. "So that's who he really is? He works under them? Or does he work for them? What exactly does he do? I am going to show this to my parents and to the whole world. I am going to prove my father wrong for once and he's going to see what I have been telling him the whole time!" Finn placed his phone on the glove compartment and grabbed me by the arms. "Not yet, Scarlett." I looked up at

FINN. I watched as Scarlett slept in my arms. She had fallen asleep halfway into the movie and now, the movie credits were rolling out. I gently peeled her off my body and placed her on the bed beside me before quietly climbing out of the bed and picking the packets of snacks that littered her bed. After tossing it into the bin, I walked back to her bed, tore out a sticky note laying on her bedside table. After writing on it, I placed it on the table and planted a kiss on her cheek before slipping out of the house. Throughout the drive to the hospital, all I could think of was Kelvin and how to bring him down. I didn't know how I was going to do it. As much as I wanted things to be over real soon, this was just the beginning. I had to do things myself from here and even if I needed Leonardo's help, I had to pay his men because they weren't going to do a thing without getting a reward and I totally understood that. I had sent a text to Leonardo, asking him if it was okay

FINN. It was time for me to leave. Raya was busy with Volkov as she seemed really happy seeing him. I liked that he was around though I am never going to admit it to him. "He makes her happy," My mother said from the door as she watched Volkov. She was reading a letter he had written on her and a visible smoke was on her face. "I'm glad he's here. Scarlett really left an impact," "She did. I have to agree," I said and watched them. I was happy that she was happy. We were going to talk about her amputated leg soon enough. Whenever she was ready though. "Finn," I turned to look at her. "You've not been at work for almost a week. You really need to have some rest so you can resume worn energized," I smiled and pecked her on the cheek. "I am fine, mum. Really." "You've lot a bit of weight," She said as she touched my cheek. Her scrutinizing gaze washed over my body. "You should eat enough, okay?" I laughed. "You know I always eat enough, mum. You don't have t

THIRD PERSON’S POV "You know, it would do no damage if you told me where you were going that night," Scarlett asked as she leaned back on the lounge close to the pool area, hands on her belly, watching as Finn flipped steak on the grill. It had been three months now and that question had gone unanswered. No excuse for the lie Finn told could exonerate him. He turned towards her and sighed. "If you worry less about that night and more about the babies we are to have in less than six months, it'd be a good thing." She sat up. "Really? My husband sneaking out of the house late at night when he's supposed to fuck me the next morning doesn't deserve an answer?" Finn blew out a heavy breath and flipped the steak again before he turned to look at her, both hands on his hip. He looked really funny in the apron he was wearing. "I am starting to believe that the only reason you keep asking me this question is because I should have been fucking you instead of sneaking out of
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 159. Married To Finn
SCARLETT. Worst day of my life. I didn't want to think of how things had gone this morning; how I had cried several times and ruined my makeup. How I had yelled at everyone, not minding if they were just there to do their jobs. None of the bridesmaids were my friends. I had told my friends I didn't want them to be bridesmaids when I was getting married to a man I hated the most. Wasn't it weird to be married to another man while going through a heartbreak from another to whom you had confessed your feelings to and he had done the same? Things were only going to get shittier from here and my parents were to blame. I hadn't spoken to either of them and as my father curled his arm for me to slip mine through, I cursed the day I was born into this family. I should have been poor and less privileged. Maybe Finn and I would have gotten married. I wondered what he was doing now. Happy with his family, on his way to falling in love with another woman who wasn't as problematic as
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 158. Like My Father
FINN. I'd gotten to the verge of telling her that I was her groom. It had taken a lot of restraint for me to actually walk away. As I drove towards the warehouse, I stared at the bag she had returned to me and sighed. I hated to put her in this position but that was it. After dealing with Kelvin tomorrow, I was to see the designer in charge of my wedding tux to get it fitted. It was going to be a long day for me tomorrow. As soon as I got to the warehouse, one of the guards standing by the entrance of the warehouse hurried towards me and bowed. "Boss, they are all waiting inside for you." Was I ever going to get used to being addressed as boss and treated like one? Because why did it feel a little weird that this man was treating me like a god? My father must have really had a huge impact on them for them to show me this much respect, age regardless. The warehouse was filled with people. Some worked on cars, and some sat around tables with drinks in front of them,
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 157. The Perfect Gem
SCARLETT. All day, I waited for Finn to return with mixed feelings. What if something went wrong again? Wasn't he going to see Raya? He was supposed to be back in about three hours. But it was seven hours already and quite late. I had tried distracting myself with movies but then, my father had sent a text, telling me that my wedding dress was ready and would be delivered on my wedding day because he didn't want me ruining it. What the hell was going on? When I sent him a text, informing him that I was no longer getting married and that I didn't care if he was going to take all that I had, I didn't get a response. Calling him was futile because he didn't even pick up my call. I had to call my mother, who informed me that everything happening right now was out of her control. I had been infuriated by her words but that was it, I guess. I had spent the rest of the day fuming and waiting for Finn to return so I could narrate my ordeal to him. I was in the
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 156. Good Progress
FINN. For someone who I had believed was so powerful and controlling and could do anything he liked, Scarlett's father could really be humbled. After he had asked me to wait, he had led me to his study, his demeanor changing from one of scorn to the utmost respect. It was really amusing to see him humbled. We spoke for minutes and he decided that we had to work together. I hadn't made it easy for him anyway. I kept throwing jabs of how much of a terrible father he had been to Scarlett. "Finn, I know all of these," He had said at one point. "But I had to do certain things because she was my only child. If I hadn't been hard on her, she wouldn't be where she is today." "By that, you mean being aware that she was molested when she was a teenager and you did nothing about it? Going ahead to get her married to the same man who molested her when she was young. That's how you thought you were training her?" I asked, my voice laced with disgust. "You really did a bad job
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 155. The Mafia Lord
FINN. I watched as she slept in my arms. We had talked after our kiss and she'd told me how she'd been at the therapist's twice this week and was getting better. I was so proud of her. She could actually do without me having to be there. She was becoming a better version of herself and I was extremely glad that I was there to witness it. I was never going to let her leave my side. She belonged to me now and it felt refreshing to know that this woman loved me as much as I did and had, in fact, loved me for a long time. Things were starting to fall into place. Meeting her was a miracle. I had to admit that to myself. Ignoring the ups and downs, she was really a blessing to me. Somehow, she has made me a better version of myself to her and my family. With her, I'd been able to afford a whole lot and I found out the truth about my father's life and how he was killed. I couldn't tell her. This was top secret but there was someone else I could tell. Someone who knew
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 154. That I Love You
SCARLETT. I had been pacing about the living room when I caught a glimpse of a black, matte Maserati stopping in front of my house. I had paused, wondering who it was, and when a familiar figure came out of the car, dressed impeccably and looking like he hadn't gone through a series of tortures from the man I hated most in the world, my heart flew. The glass of brandy I had been holding slipped into my hand and crashed to the floor as I burst into a fit of tears while still running toward him. Just as I opened the door, he was there, standing before me with a smile and I just knew, I just knew I had to tell him everything. I just knew he meant a lot to me. We were seated on one of the couches and I couldn't just take my hands off him. I touched his face, searched his hands for any form of bruises, and even had to pull his chest up. I covered a hand over my mouth and more tears slipped down my cheeks when I saw the red marks, he had gotten from being constantly electro

FINN."Your father, Fernandez Edwardo, was the Lord of the Dark Knight Mafia," Jason began. "He was the founder of this great foundation. He picked us all up when we needed to be helped. We were wanted for crimes we didn't commit and he stood by us till it was all resolved. We were recruited by him and that was when he created this group. After years of working hard, and putting in sweat and blood, we became one of the most influential Mafia groups in Italy. He finally decided that we extended to other parts of the world and America was one of them."This had to be some sort of movie set I was about to act in, right? This was the script being read out to me? The summary? But I listened."Things went well here and then, when it was time for us to return to base, he met your mother. Eliana. He fell for her. Hard.

"Why should we do that?! He's my prisoner and he's going to be killed anyway!"The man turned to him with a glare. "You seem to have forgotten your place here, Kelvin. I advise you to step aside if you don't want things to go down wrongly for you.""And who the fuck is he that you want him untied, huh?!" Kelvin grumbled.The man turned to him.
