Alicia's POV

The tension in the air was enough to cut through it with a knife. I tried to swallow and found my throat was dry. When Mikael stepped forward, I stepped back. Andy looked between the two men, her gaze unreadable. I had told her the gist of the life I had lived before we met in the underground club as captives, but I didn't tell her everything.

"Alicia-"

I cut Mikael off before he could say anything more. hearing my name come from his lips sparked something inside of me, something that was raw and angry and emotional.

"It's Alice now. Alice Alcott," I replied to him keeping a smile on my face that was more polite if not a little desperate to hide my true feelings. "It's been a while, Don Serrano, Don Madden."

Their faces darkened equally at my words as if I had slapped them or done something otherwise dangerous. Either way it had the same effect, and a part of me felt guilty but then I just remembered the pictures Cross had shown me. Those had not been staged in any way an

    Alicia's POV My breath hitched. I had almost forgotten that it was there. So lost in seeing them I nearly forgot her presence. She had heard everything I said, including me pinning my children on her.Guilt welled up in me. K reached out to hold her hand and looked into her eyes “I'm so sorry, for lying and using your name as Dante and Ashton’s mother.” I said.“But this is different. I can't let them know. If they find out…” I shook my head.If they found out, they would never let them go and by extension me as well. I had already done so much with her to get out of that life. To have my boys dragged into it would break my heart.“Please Andy, I'm begging you here, you can't let anyone know that I was lying, especially right now. “Any single mishap and the word could spread like wildfire. Now that Mikael and Acker were on my tail, they would no doubt catch wind of it.My eyes burned with tears. I knew that I was asking her for a lot, but this was what had to happen. Until the ma

    Acker's POVThe day before:I let my grip stay on Serrano’s arm even after we had left t apartment with Mikael angry and fuming and cursing in streams of both Italian and English.“Enough of this. Stay calm, Mikael,” i told him, clenching my jaw as I too was reeling from the information that had just been… what to call it- SLAPPED at my damn face.Alicia was alive.And she wanted nothing to do with us.How could that be?“Why do quiet, Madden? You see so fucking calm, cazzo, even after the news. Don’t tell me you knew before this-““Don’t be so stubborn. I had no idea before this and YOU know that to be true. In my mind she was dead just like you thought all these years,” I nearly wanted to yell at him but I kept my cool. We were still i public and I didn’t wish to make a fool of myself.I had just sped to the US leaving everything behind when Javier gave me the strangest news that both filled me with exhilaration and disbelief.“Now is not the time to fight,” I finally said after Mik

    Alicia’s POVMikael’s voice made my heart jump and I wiped the tears hurriedly from my eyes and tried to appear as unaffected as possible. Even if it was practically impossible with the state of this place.“What happened?” Mikael demanded as he strode in, from Acker, glaring daggers at him.“I’m certain you’ve already been informed of what happened here,” Acker responded smoothly, and Mikael’s green eyes that reminded me so much of my Dante’s darkened.I had enough of the two men being at odds with each other already, and it had been barely a damn minute. I stepped between the two of them and raised both my hands.“Stop it!“ I yelled at the two of them, my voice shaky and my anger rising. “What the hell is wrong with the two of you?! Fighting now of all times?!”They both turned to gape at me as I, shaking so much, wiped the tears that spilled over again and again.“You both are terrible, SELFISH, and SO DAMN SELF-CENTERED!” I yelled. My voice was hoarse from crying and screaming but

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   Retrieval

    Mikael’s POVMio Dio, seeing her face again, even the disgruntled expression, sent me reeling with emotions I could hardly place a name to, although relief was one of them.I was still angry with her, after the revelation of the children’s existence to me, and the fact that she had LIED to me and to Madden.Still… she was still the woman I did love and I was willing to look past it, even if it would take time for my brain and body to sync up with that decision.“There has been word from Cross,” I finally said and gestured to the study. I wanted to ask her what had caused that look of annoyance on her face as she sighed. I had Cleo briefly come to the house for a debriefing. Not because she was important but because somehow I had gotten myself involved with the assassin again. She was a wily one and I was going to keep her in my sights until I was sure she wasn’t a the great.Had Alicia noticed her presence?I pushed that thought out of my mind and focused on taking her to the study an

    Alicia’s POVThe study was silent.I hummed, clasping my fingers together and tried to not fidget at my spot i the couch.I had promised Mikael I would be patient and sit but that alone would not stop me from worrying.They were my children, after all.The memory of Mikael looking dashingly at me replayed in my memory.“Trust me.”Trust.I didn’t know if I could.I let out a heavy breath, my eyes flitting back to the laptop that lay open, the picture of my two boys, my world, with Andy’s torso in the frame.I reached for it and curiously clicked out of the photo to reveal…Nothing.I scowled.Was this a burner laptop?My curiosity began to burn and I wondered what exactly I would find from Mikael’s own laptop. This would be interesting and enough to distract me.I began to move the cursor over the screen and clicked on the files icon.My skills at hacking had helped me numerous times once I actually began to learn. I was a quick student, even now, and it hasn’t been hard to make a nam

    Alicia’s POV“What happens next,” Acker spoke while Mikael stared at me and the twins as if we were some interesting creatures. “Is that we find a way to dismiss the charges on you.”“I see,” I hummed, and suddenly felt a tugging at my shirt which made me glance down to see the green eyes of one of my sons.“Mom, what’s going on? When can we go back home?” Dante asked, and Ashford stayed quiet but I could see him nod in agreement with his brother.The two of them were going to be the death of me.I sighed inwardly and leveled them both a calm and gentle look.“We’ll leave soon,” i promised even though deep down I felt like I had no idea where the future would lead. “How about this? You two need a bath and some rest, okay?”“That will not be a problem,” Mikael spoke, stepping forward as he clicked his fingers. A maid suddenly appeared as if out of thin air and he ordered, “Take the children upstairs, and make sure they are taken care of.”“Si.“ the woman bowed and began to lead the chi

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   Telling the twins

    Alicia’s POV“I was afraid of everything. I didn’t want my children hurt. So I hid. And I don’t regret it for one bit, Acker, because if you were in my situation you’d have done the same,” I told him. He didn’t say anything in response and I knew he wouldn’t. How could he, when he knew I was Cross’ target simply because of who my father was and how he wished to antagonize Mikael?I wasn’t such a fool to believe they would be able to protect me, even now. That was why I had to take steps myself to do so, and I would continue to do so, even now.I longed to put some distance between Acker and myself, with the tension of our conversation topic still lingering in the air.“I have to go,” i said. “The children will need certain things explained to them.”I left the living room without waiting for a reply from Acker, and went up the stairs.Mikael had the twins placed in the room across from mine which I deduced simply by following the sounds of my boy’s voices that were loudly asking the m

    Acker’s POVAfter the meeting, we walked the lawyer and private investigator out to the foyer.Alicia lagged behind Mikael and I while we shook the hands of the two and they left the mansion to be escorted off the estate by Mikael’s men.“That was faster than I hoped,” I heard Don Serrano murmur and I knew he was talking about the case again. “Hopefully we can get this case dismissed in record time.”I agreed with a hum and turned to gauge how Alicia felt only to find that she had turned away from the two of us, her hands folded across her chest and her expression closed off and withdrawn.“Whatever happens all I care is about moving on from this,” she said with a sigh, and I saw the tension in her movement. She didn’t want to speak to either of us, that much I could tell.The previous conversation we had came to mind.Had I been too harsh on her then?“Don,” a maid appeared from the dining hall. “Dinner is ready.”Alicia nodded and so did I, with Mikael sighing and muttering somethin

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   An Explosive Encounter

    Mikael’s POVShe was being way too quiet.I eyed Alicia out of the corner of my eyes, gazing worriedly at her as she sipped at her coffee.She had returned a little earlier in the morning the previous day, I recalled. And she was more somber than her usual self.Where had she gone?The question was pushed to the back of my mind as Dante began to cough, likely as a result of some water going down the wrong pipe. I reached for a napkin and made to stand up from my chair, but Alicia was blessedly faster, and she grasped our son’s chin gently while patting his back.“There there,” she murmured softly. I relaxed at the warmth in her voice. She was fine. Perhaps she just needed some space like Madden liked to insist on.Leaning back into the chair I observed her, my mind full of thoughts of her. She had been acting this way ever since Madden and I had fucked her. Was that the reason why?Regardless, there was nothing I could do by wondering.My phone vibrated in my trouser pocket and I glan

    Alicia’s POVMy dream was of a house in the countryside, somewhere where the sun was nice and warm yet not too hot. I played in the meadow with my two sons, like I was in a fairytale. Suddenly dark clouds filled the sky and my vision went static. Rain began to fall.~Buzz~~Buzz~I winced, shaking my head and only a little aware of the dream fading from my mind.My eyes were unbelievably bleary and my limbs heavier than I’d expect after a good night's sleep.Opening my eyes after another second, I saw darkness only broken by the little light from my phone.Someone was calling.With a soft grunt I reached for the phone which continued to vibrate as it rang.‘Safehouse,’ the caller ID said.Noticing the time to be only 12.13am, I inhaled sharply. This had to be important.Immediately the sleep cleared from my eyes and I answered the call.“What is it?” I demanded to know.“Good you’re up,” it was Matt’s friend breathing heavily over the phone. He didn't sound too happy.“I was asleep,”

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   Break Even

    Alicia’s POV “Holy shiiiiit,” I hissed with pleasure, my eyes rolled back. My legs parted wider as Mik’s slick, thick manhood thrust in and out of me in a beautiful deep rhythm. It HAD been a long time; no one could blame me. I lost myself in another series of moans, feeling hands all over my body. “Be careful,” Acker warned, and I wasn’t sure who he was warning in my sex-addled brain until I realized Mik was chuckling as he moved his hips to mine. “You don’t want me to break her in for you, Madden? Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll be the same by the time you’re up.” I heard something that sounded like a curse come from Acker but I didn’t care. Despite both men bickering, they were incredibly focused on one thing and one thing only: me. I had long lost track of where I was. We had moved from room to room like horny teenagers and now, I was in a chair, or a desk, or wherever. All I knew was that my hands and hair were held back by Acker as I took Mik’s cock like a good girl. Hands

    Alicia’s POV “She is right here.” I replied loudly to the man that was speaking to someone whom I neither knew nor cared to know, making my presence known at the party entrance. As if by a spell all eyes turned to me, and I took advantage of the spotlight. I knew exactly how I looked. I had taken my time all weekend to clean up my looks to make sure I wouldn’t appear too shabby as Ash’s and Dante’s mother. I was practically the most desired woman to be in terms of position, having the children of two of the most powerful Dons in the world. And I was going to enjoy it. The spotlight wasn’t usually what I searched for but I reveled in it now, a dark glee in my heart as Mikael and Acker’s eyes were like flames burning my skin. The glittering red gown I had chosen was fired to my body, held up only by spaghetti straps with pearls as an accent. My hair was up in a stylish updo and showed off my neck and décolletage, which spotted a lovely necklace I picked for myself with care. In al

    Acker’s POV“Make sure it is done. No excuses this time. And use another supplier if this one doesn’t make things according to our requirements,” I cut off one of my executives before he could go on another rant during our call. I was already fed up and late for a very important engagement - picking up my sons from the house to attend their birthday party.Unbuttoning my shirt with one hand while I walked into my home office to grab the box I had left there wrapped and ready for tonight, I noticed Javier was seated on the armchair close to my desk, and giving me a serious look.I ended the call and sighed heavily. I hated handling business sometimes. It was easy work in theory but human beings and bureaucracy could make every little thing difficult.“You clearly haven’t gone for a shower yet,” Javier helpfully pointed out, tutting in a manner that was exasperated. “You still have paint on your face.”My jaw ticked.“I’m well aware of that, Javier. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.”

    Alicia’s POVThe party hadn’t occurred yet and it already gave me a headache. My scowl prominent, I listened to the chef and event planner - Duran, what an odd surname, I thought absently - as they discussed the event.“Whatever you have to decide, so it with their fathers," I stated when I could get a word in. I wanted nothing to do with this or them or this farce of a damn party that was forced on me.The pair glanced at each other wide-eyed and I didn’t wait for a response, instead storming off to my room for some much needed alone time. Slamming the door shut down othbeicj force that the walls shook, I let out an agonized yell.“I hate them both,” I hissed through my teeth. Why did it feel like the entire world was against me? I sat in the edge of the bed recalling Andy’s discussion with me earlier.2 hours ago:I was furious, seeing red. Hardly able to contain myself.“Alis, wait,” Andy called, her footsteps fast paced. I whirled about to face her.“You TOLD them about the boys’

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   Surprise Party

    Mikael’s POVMy hands clenched and unclenched, while my mind struggled to make sense of the report that the police commissioner gave me mere seconds ago. My blood was effectively boiling.How could this have happened right under our noses? For the girl, the only connection we had at this crucial time to my bastard half-brother, to escape like that… I couldn’t fatho it for the life of me.Madden turned to Alicia, his signature cool and collected veneer on full display as he replied, “This is not the time to discuss such things. You should focus on your breakfast love.”Endearment aside I thought he had the right idea. We shouldn’t talk about this when the children were around, no matter how urgent it seemed to be.“And the party,” Ashford piped up in the wake of Madden’s words which made his mother whip her head around to stare at him unblinkingly“What party exactly?” Alicia sounded confused, tired and— was that relief I heard in her voice?“Our birthday party!” Dante too the opportun

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   News Breaks

    Alicia’s POV Two days later: Tonight was the night. 10:47 pm. My room was dark but I could still spot the letters on the alarm clock, glowing distinctly. I sat up on the bed, checking my phone every couple of seconds as though that would make a difference. I had to be patient. Because tonight, Daya would escape police custody. Matt had been of more help than I had previously anticipated and he had sent one of his ‘good friends’ skilled at evading law enforcement to pick Daya up. While I wished I could be there myself to see it going on, I knew it would be next to impossible. Mikael, for one, would notice that I had left the house. The sound of footsteps drawing close to my door alerted me. Damn it. I was supposed to be asleep! Feigning a stomach ache in order to leave the dinner table early had its drawbacks. Swiftly I pulled the covers up, hiding my phone underneath the blanket and laid down, turning my head to the side and closing my eyes. The door opened, and multiple foots

  • The Mafia Kings Want their Woman Back   Something happens

    Mikael’s POV “Whatever, it’s none of my business,” she had said. Yet even as she said that she appeared the opposite. Her posture was rigid, her lips drawn into a scowl that looked more appealing than it did intimidating. Honestly I’d never met a woman so stubborn in my life and perhaps that’s why I fell in love with her. Against my better judgement, of fucking course. I had no issues playing this game of hers. “Alright,” I responded lightly. “Just making it known. You should have your breakfast.” “I think I’ve lost my appetite,” Alicia’s words were just as cutting as I expected, and she huffed, her shoulders shrugging as she turned around to walk out of the living room. In a dizzying instant I saw her stumble, and I reached to grasp her by the waist and pulled her closer as her knees buckled under her. “Ugh,” she groaned, shutting her eyes tightly. “I really need to get some more sleep.” She hadn’t slept? That explained the worrying eye-bags under her eyes, and how pale she l
