Alicia’s POV“Gosh, you’re eyes are red, are you okay?” One of my coworkers, Angie, asked me when I removed my sunglasses.I smiled wanly, nodding. 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. Acker had travelled once again - he was always busy and I didn’t want to be a source of disturbance for him.“Customer at table seven,” I sprung into action as that
Alicia’s POVI couldn’t go home, could I?I began to think through the safety information I’d read multiple times after my abduction at the college. I didn’t want to go through that again so I’d digested ask much as I could whenever I was free.Police station?No. I couldn’t. It may have been what a normal citizen would do but I didn’t want to involve the police in Mikael’s and Acker’s business.The only option that remained was for me to go to a safe spot. Where could I go?Acker was out of the country for the time being.I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel and decided that the casino would be the best place to go.At the very least, Mikael’s men wouldn’t hurt me and would do whatever it took to protect me.I began to speed up, bursting out into the highway and wove in between traffic. Car horns sounded all around me and I pressed the button to roll the windows up. No distractions. I needed to get to the casino.I gasped as I saw the black car overtake me as I turned onto the e
Mikael’s POVI hid my fury behind a softened demeanor as I carried Alicia to the bedroom I had in the casino.Who had dared to hurt her? 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
Alicia’s POV“Oh my God,” i whimpered, feeling the soft cotton sheets in my back and my legs spread wide as Mikael nipped at my collarbone.He was just as good as I’d imagined. Although I wasn’t going to compare him and Acker. Acker was… different, and I liked them both.“Mikael, please,” i begged as i felt the head of his cock brush against my mound again. It was almost like was teasing me, and it was working, unfortunately. Was this a punishment or a reward?“Say please one more time,” he teased, murmuring into the crook of my neck as his fingers twisted my left nipple, rubbing it tenderly.My back arched and I closed my eyes tightly, feeling the swell of pleasure inside me.“Please,” i begged again, willing to be taken apart by him. I wanted him inside me and nothing else would do. “Please Mik, please… I need you, please…”He leaned back and met my eyes and for the first time I saw just how affected he was by this as well. His pupils were blown wide and it wasn’t hard to detect the
Alicia’s POV“What do you want with me?” I asked Ghalia after the silence had stretched in for far too long. She had her to remove the gun from my face, and I was careful to not move an inch.“Oh, Alicia. You’re so annoyingly naive. What wouldn’t I want with the woman who has exactly what I want?” There was an edge to her voice now and I swallowed.“You mean Mikael…” i trailed off and gasped as she grabbed hold of my hair, tugging it out of the updo i had tried to style it in before.Oh shit, i cursed multiple times in my head. “Why do you think I had sent those men after you in the first place?“ she snarled, and her grip on my hair became stronger and i was afraid my neck would break if she gave it a harsh tug.“It… it was you,” i croaked out, tears stinging my eyes. Realization flooded my body as I thought back to the memories of the previous day. She had come to visit me in the restaurant to give me a warning, after all.Why hadn’t I seen this coming?The car screeched to a halt s
Alicia’s POVI stood frozen, still in shock from everything.I…I had killed someone.Regardless of that person being Ghalia, the woman that had nearly tried to kill me because she wanted Mikael back, it still left something deep inside me that I couldn’t shake no matter how hard I tried.I could hear the voices around me, yet all that could think about was the dead body and the splatter of blood.A small touch at the small of my back was what brought me back to reality. I turned to meet Mikael's green eyes.“Hey, you okay Tesoro?” He asked, gently.I didn't know if i was. I swallowed thickly, before I nodded.His hand brushed my hip before he held me firmly, pushing me against his chest I closed my eyes, relaxing under the comfort of his scent.“Lets go to your place.” He murmured in my ear. His deep voice rumbledd in my ear soothingly, sending tingles down my spine. I closed my eyes and accepted his offer.He took me into the car and we drove off. I rested against him the whole time,
Alicia’s POVI looked over every single one , all of them carrying his name. He had called so many times within the past hour, even while I was asleep. What was going on that he’d want to talk to me so eagerly that he’d live missed calls?I tapped his contact to call him. It took less than a second for his phone to ring and the click of him answering the call.“Alicia.” He said sounding so alarmed I couldn't help but tense.“Hello… Dad?” i asked, with furrowed brows. There was a short pause before he spoke again.“Baby,” he sounded so relieved over the phone.“I heard about the attack from Acker and Michael. Are you alright?”He heard the news? That made me blink in surprise. It had barely been a day and he already knew about it?“But…how?” I asked, suspicious all of a sudden.“Don Madden and Serrano were kind enough to inform me. We keep in contact for when I want to check up on you.” He said. I nodded swallowing. That made sense. Although I didn’t expect them to keep in so much cont
Acker’s POV2 days later:The sounds of the man’s pained groans were nothing short of satisfying to my ears.I continued to punch him, taking out my frustration after the events of the past few days.To expect that Cross would use his knowledge on Mikael’s past and try to cause harm to Alicia…Infuriating. Smart. Bastardly. Exactly how I pictured things to go but much worse. I gripped the brass knuckles fitted on my fingers tightly and landed another punch to the man’s formerly untouched jaw that a tooth flew out, along with the spitting blood from his lips.“Acker, that’s okay, don’t you think?” The sound of Javier’s voice made me pause and I regarded the captive with a tilted head. His eyes were swollen and his nose was certainly broken. His entire face reddened from bruises and slowly purpling.Yet it didn’t faze me. I clenched my hands into fists again, readied for another round of punching bag workout when Javier spoke again, this time a lot more concerned in his tone.“We need
