Ace…Three months had passed since the kidnapping and Bella’s cast was finally off. I learned that she hated a cast as much as she hates traitors. I had Bella on bed rest for a month, much to her annoyances. She hated sitting around and doing nothing. We had Maureen’s funeral a few days after we cam
Richard and I stepped inside the front door and immediately took down the guards that were there. Bruce and Daniel made their way through the back door. I showed my team to search the second floor while Daniel and his team took the first floor. Richard and I took the third floor. I knew Alexei would
I made my way downstairs where my men were busy taking all the girls and boys to the SUVs. “Bella has sent her private plane. Take them there. Nadine and the other women stay with the girls. Bella’s team will get you at the airport in Italy. Follow them and make sure all these girls and boys get hom
Bella…Ryder called me and asked if I could come over. It's been three months since I last saw him. Although I miss him, I don't think I could see Bonnie. I am still trying to find information on her but so far nothing has come up that shows me that she is an imposter.I guess I would just put on an
“Bella, how does one join your mafia?” Jaden asked, looking at me as we sat around the table.“Why? Are you planning on joining?” I asked. I knew he and Jada were also into this shit but I never thought he would really be interested.“Don't be silly, Jaden. Ryder just got out and barely made it beca
When we entered the living room, Tommaso and Clarence had an amused look on their faces as they watched Hazel and Jaden argue over who the best actor was, “John Travolta!” Jaden screamed as he showed her all the awards he had received.“Oh, please, Henry Cavill is by far the best. Have you seen him
Ace…I was at the warehouse taking care of a fucking rat who dared to double-cross me. I had just finished dealing with the bastard when I decided to call it a night and head home. I needed to be with Bella. I still couldn't believe we were going to be parents. I know we never talked about starting
I took out my phone and called Richard, “Boss?”“Richard, Bella has been kidnapped.”“What?” I am on my way. Where are you?”“At the mansion.”I have to call her brother; maybe he can help finding who did this: “Get Ryder on the line, now.”“Ryder? Your sister is gone. I need you here!” I barked.“G
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
I chuckled, settling into a seat across from Bella. "She looks like Snow," she laughed, continuing to pet the kitten. "I can play better with you," I teased, giving her a playful wink. "And I have no say in whether we keep this cat?" I asked, running my fingers through my hair. "Ace, just look at th
"Hello Ace, care for one?" Smith greeted, raising his cigarette. I narrowed my eyes at him and approached, taking a seat in one of the two leather chairs facing his desk. Ignoring his offer, I retrieved a cigarette from my suit jacket pocket and lit it with my lighter, placing it between my lips.I
Ace…Bella's voice broke the silence, asking, "What are you doing?" I continued to focus on the sizzling bacon in the pan and the savory aroma filling the kitchen. "Please, have a seat," I replied, reaching for two plates to serve creamy scrambled eggs and toast. I set one plate in front of Bella, w
Halfway through, fatigue washed over me, and I rested my head on his chest. My heartbeat began to synchronize with his. "Were you upset?" I murmured. "About what?" he asked softly, his breath gently stirring my hair. "The doctor didn’t reveal the baby's gender because I had a word with him." I smile
After tidying myself up, Ace stepped out of the room. I turned to the doctor and said, "If he offers you money to find out, I'll pay you double. If he threatens you, I'll make sure you regret it. Understood?" I smiled, feeling a rush of satisfaction. He nodded, his expression a mix of confusion and
