Alicia’s POV

I breathed a sigh of relief once Mikael finally parked the car at the driveway of my apartment, and tossed me the keys.

“Thanks,” I muttered, not bothering to say anything about the way he drove like a madman.

I unbuckled my seat belt and left the car. As Mikael followed, I heard a voice which startled me.

“Alicia,” followed by Acker stepping out of the shadows. His gaze was softened towards me but I saw how it hardened as he glared behind me.

“Where have you been?” He asked me, his eyes flickering back to me as I reached him and he then pulled me into a hug. His scent was comforting and I breathed in deeply. I was home.

I stumbled a little as I stepped back, which made me wince. Acker then noticed my shoes, or what was left of it at least.

“What did you do to her?” His words were absolutely murderous as he looked back at Mikael whose intimidating aura I could feel right behind me.

“What makes you think I did anything?” Mikael feigned innocence and I swallowed audibly as

    Acker’s POV12.57amShe was finally asleep.Exiting Alicia’s bedroom, my steps were quiet down the hallway and entering the living room. There was no one there, and the lights were all shut off, leaving the moonlight streaming through the curtained windows, a slight chill in the air, though not as cold as it already was in my home city of London.My phone began to vibrate from the inside pocket of my coat, and I reached and plucked it from the pocket, pressing the green button on the touch screen and answering it.“Javier,” I greeted my friend and second in command.“The exchange has been done,” he reported, referencing the alliance between our mafia company and the Knauf’s. They were one of the larger mobs in the US, therefore gaining their alliance was a big part in protecting all bases.“Good,” I responded.“How is she?” Javier asked. “You seemed pretty keen to return.”“Asleep.“I had done my best to be of comfort to her tonight, putting my lust and desire for her on the back burn

    Alicia’s POVEven with Acker’s reassurances and words that night I had been unable to rest easy knowing that Mikael likely wanted nothing to do with me.It had come as an unpleasant shock, hearing from Acker’s own lips what Mikael had said to him, and it hurt me worse than when he had said I meant nothing to him.‘What do I do?’ I thought, shifting in my seat. ‘Do I confront him?’That seemed the be the best idea to go about this. Acker seemed to imply that Mikael would only talk to me directly if it was urgent though.I let out a loud sigh, catching the gazed of a few of my classmates that looked my way briefly.‘Sorry,’ I mouthed to one disgruntled looking guy in sweatpants and a hoodie over his blonde buzz cut.It was almost exam season and I found that I had nothing to do but to listen to the revision classes over and over again.

I don’t have the time to talk to you about anything,” his words were colder than I expected and it shocked me to my core. “l have no time for you right now so you can leave.”I inhaled sharply, overwhelmed by my emotions for a bit. Tears prickled my eyes and I tried to not show how hurt I was by his words but it was hard.“That’s unfair,” my voice wavered. “I can’t understand what’s going on with you, Mikael. At least hurt tell me what I did wrong for you to treat me in such a way!”I heard a knock on the door and turned around just as the other woman I saw before stepped in.Silence ensued as she faced Mikael, practically ignoring my prsence as she elegantly cat walked up to his desk.It was then that I noticed how frozen Mikael was, as though he had just seen a ghost.“What are you

I can’t to see you, Mikael… my love.”My face twitched. My love? After so many years she still dares to call me that?“You dare say that?”“Yes! I dare because I haven’t stopped thinking about you.

    Mikael’s POVI hiked my hand up her skirt and Ghalia leaned her head back, moaning.“Ooohhh, fuck I missed this,” she groaned, patting her legs willingly for me. My fingers teased the lace of her panties. It was a thrill to touch her again, but it wasn’t because I wanted her back. It was more of the thrill of dark desire to see her defeated by me. A sort of revenge if you will.Her wiles didn’t move me one bit, and all her writing only increased my disdain for her. Yet every bit of my manhood was hard and rearing to go.“You’re just as I remember,” I switched to Italian, right as Ghalia began cursing like a sailor at sea while I plunged two of my fingers into her wet, warm heat, thrusting slowly in and out, pulling every bit of pleasure right out of her. It belonged to me, and to no one else.I added another finger and she gave a long and breathy, husky sigh.“You’re so much better,” she whispered in our mother tongue. “Than anyone else who’s ever touched me.”I hummed in disinterest

I had spent all night in a horrible mood, thinking about Mikael Serrano all night. For the first time in my life, I was one of those girls, and I didn’t know whether I liked it or not.All I wanted was for Mikael to at least talk to me.“I’m okay,” I said in a hoarse voice. I reached for my water bottle and chugged down half of its contents. I couldn’t muster up the appetite this morning so I was practically running on fumes today. I didn’t mind it, as long as I wasn’t going to faint. Although, this morning I saw how Renee looked at me with concerned eyes.Regardless, work awaited and I threw myself into it eagerly, so that at least, I could forget my troubles in the meantime.

Madden and I had sent warnings throughout the entire country, but particularly in this city, that Alicia wasn’t to be touched. The only one that I knew who was capable of going against those orders was Cross.I wasn’t sure though, i needed evidence to go after that half-brother of mine. Whether it was his doing or not, one thing was sure. Whoever attacked her would have a fate worse than death, i would make sure of it personally.“Wow,” I heard her exclaim, no longer silent as soon as I entered the bedroom. “I didn’t expect this.”Her awe made me smile. She was adorable, like a little kitten.“What did you expect?” I asked her, raising a brow. I dropped her gently on the edge of the bed and she shifted backwards until she was right in the center.“You sleep in here?” She asked, gazing at me with wide eyes.“Whenever there’s work that needs to be done

She turned round the corner and advanced on us as we stood at the edge of the large field next to the garden.

I opened the door to find Andy, her face etched with worry, holding a sleeping Bella. Magda followed close behind, her expression stern."What were you thinking, Alicia?" Andy demanded, her voice low but firm. "Leaving the house again in the middle of the night?"I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the sleep. "What are you talking about?"Magda's voice was sharp. "Do you know you nearly caused chaos this morning? Mikael nearly ran mad searching for you. Acker had to calm him down. And they nearly fought."My heart sank. I had no idea Mikael had been searching for me. "I...I just needed some air," I stammered.The guilt pricked at the edges of my consciousness again. This time I had caused more trouble just by leaving. I was foolish. I lowered my gaze in remorse.Andy's expression softened slightly. "Alicia, you can't just disappear in the middle of th

My nightmares were haunting. They taunted me with the reminders of the mistakes I’d made. My own oversights were massive.But it was my own actions that haunted me. I had tried to kill Acker and Mikael, the two men I loved. The thought sent a wave of self-loathing crashing over me.How could I have been so blind? So wrong? The guilt was suffocating, making it hard to breathe. I felt like I was drowning in my own shame.

    Acker’s POV This was unexpected. I exchanged a glance with Serrano after seeing Cleo Abrams breathe her last breath. The syringe in my hand was empty and I dropped it on the ground where it lay to rest beside the pale corpse of the woman who had sought to use it at her weapon and had inevitably ended up dead by it. "How is she?" The words left my lips without preamble as I gazed at Alicia’s shivering form wrapped in the Italian Don’s arms. A part of me stirred with jealousy at the sight but I let it go. She belonged to him as much as she did to me. "Asleep for now. Or rather unconscious. She’s quite the dramatic one isn’t she? Cried herself to sleep just like that," Serrano tutted as though he was angry with her but in fact I could tell the relief in his face. I felt the same way too. In the end we had somehow neglected her. Of course it was just a stroke of luck that we figured out who it was at the last minute that had caused such troubles on our lives. It started aft

None of the stupid nuns cared that I was never doing chores on time because I’d act so innocent and my cherubic expression gave me a fucking sweet pass.The attention always made me feel powerful and the way I got away with so much made the other kids either fear me or want to be my friends so they could benefit from it.As I got older I began to notice how much stares the boys would give me more than the other girls. Even the adult men weren’t far from trying to act like they were vying for my attention. And so I discovered another use for my

    Alicia’s POVI stared out the window, my eyes tracing the outline of the trees as they swayed gently in the breeze. It was my birthday, a day that should have been filled with joy and celebration. Instead, I was trapped in this prison, a captive of the two men I had once loved.The sound of the door opening broke the silence, and I turned to see Andy walking in, a bright smile on her face. But it was what she was holding that really caught my attention - baby Bella. I felt a surge of emotion as Andy handed her over to me, and I held her close, feeling a sense of peace wash over me.Bella peered up at me curiously, her big eyes sparkling with innocence. I felt a pang of guilt for putting her in this situation, for bringing her into a world filled with danger and uncertainty. Perhaps I wasn’t the best one to take care of her. Perhaps I should have given her to a loving family."Thank you for taking care of her," I said to Andy, my voice awkward with emotion.Andy's expression softened,

I just needed to grab some snacks from the store next door, but even that simple task felt like a risk.As I browsed the aisles, my eyes wandered to the TV playing in the corner of the store. The news anchor's voice was a distant hum until I saw the footage of the warehouse explosion. It was on the news.My breath caught in my throat as I watched Cross Serpenti's face flash across the screen. His death was confirmed and the news anchor continued with stating all the known crimes the Serpenti Mafia had committed. He deserved to die and that was certain.The cashier's muttered comment about "those mob people" and how easy it must be to have their kind of money barely registered. My mind was reeling with the implications of what I'd just seen. Acker and Mikael were still alive.

But it wasn’t over yet.The scent of burning and flames was in the air still. I must have inhaled a lot of smoke in there, I thought with disgruntlement as I gave the orders for us to return. My throat hurt badly enough that speaking was a chore I didn’t feel the need to indulge in. Serrano sat silently beside me and I knew it had to do with none other than her. Our woman. And supposedly the one that betrayed us.His hands gripped the phone that Cross had thrown at us tightly. That the Serpenti Don was dead finally was good. We had watched his… body, for lack of a better word, being carried out. He was charred beyond repair.
