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find that she had turned away from the two of us, her hands folded across her chest and her expression closed off and withdrawn.“Whatever happens all I care is about moving on from this,” she said with a sigh, and I saw the tension in her movement.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

    Mikael’s POV“Oh? Do you think?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking as my chuckles faded. She appears so innocent that one wouldn’t think she was trying to keep the kids from us even when they ate dinner. “Then what was that action from you at the dinner table?”“Maybe if you hadn’t drunk four glasses of wine I wouldn’t have acted that way. You should know better, Mikael,” she turned on me, her tone firm.“Anyway,” Madden was quick to cut in as though he knew my argument with Alicia could stretch on for hours if he didn’t do anything to stop it. “That went as well as it could have.”“I think so too,” she nodded, beaming at Acker with approval. I rolled my eyes and sipped the rest of my whiskey quietly. “I want to hear what the next step is in handling Cross.”Her statement was loaded; not only because Cross was an enemy to all of us, but because of how difficult it was becoming to handle hi“Cross is slippery to catch,” I stated, dropping the crystal tumbler which was now empty with a

    Alicia’s POV My dreams were peaceful, and I was fully swathed in them when I heard a buzzing fro far away. My brows furrowed, and I felt the dream world slipping away from me. When I came to, it was to the sound of my phone vibrating on the desk beside me. “Hmm,” i groaned while reaching for it and sliding the green button on my touchscreen to the right. “M’hello?” “Alicia.” It was my half-brother’s voice and I recognized it instantly. His tone made me sit up and all traces of sleep left my eyes. I noticed on the alarm clock on the bedside table that it was already 6.15am. “Jason, what’s wrong?” I asked, my mind racing. My palms got sweaty and I gripped the phone tightly. “The autopsy results came back. The ones on Dad, remember?” I remembered. “There was something they found. It’s… it’s enough to rule his death a murder.” What? My heart dropped and i gasped out loud pressing my other hand to my mouth. “Oh my gosh,” I could hardly breathe. My dad… was murdered?

    Alicia’s POV I expected Mikael to continue with his words but he only turned away and was about to walk to his bedroom (i suspected) when j stopped him with a hand in his arm. “What do you mean she’s alive? And how did you find out? Where is she now?” My barrage of questioning aimed at him mirrored the deluge in my mind. I needed answers and I wanted them NOW. “Mio Dio, tesoro, you ask me when I don’t even fucking know. It was one of our men who found out. Apparently Cross had threatened her and was looking for her as well. When you turned up to the US…” he trailed off but I could read his thoughts. “He thought he could use the murder charge,” i half-whispered. “To catch her and me.” Knowing that she was a target of Cross now didn’t make me feel sorry for her; in fact it made me infuriated and more determined. After how she betrayed me, j had no sympathy for a woman like her who would do anything to come out on top. She was irredeemable in my eyes. “Fine,” I muttered more

We arrived at the door of the bed and breakfast and after a quick inquiry and a $100 note slipped to the receptionist, Mikael and I made our way down the corridor and to the room where they told us Daya was. Or rather, Marissa Rayne. I hoped this was not going to be another dead end. I knocked on the door and waited with baited breath. Music was playing on the other side of the door and I heard footsteps padding closer to our location. The door opened. “Hey, what’s the problem-“ She stopped and appeared frozen in her steps as Mikael wasted no time and shoved his way into the room. She yelled and wrapped her arms around her midsection which had a noticeable bulge over it. She really was alive. And- “You’re pregnant?” I couldn’t believe my eyes.“Alicia,” she looked like she had seen a ghost and shook herself. Then, all of a sudden, she fell into my else’s and began to sob. “Im so sorry!

Andy popped her head in and looked concerned for me, and my two boys rushed in and jumped on the bed, disrupting my train of morose thoughts.“Mommy! Where have you been?!” It was Dante who yelled out that question while Ashford rushed to hug me and murmured a low good morning.I had been asleep after a long night, I wanted to tell them but I knew I couldn’t. They were still kids and I was determined to preserve as much of their innocence as I could.Their fathers may be in the mafia but I certainly wasn’t going to let their lives be surrounded by gory details this early on.Communicating my gratitude to Andy with a smile and nod, I got a warm smile back from her.“Ive just been a little under the weather,” I assured the boys, while chancing a glance at the clock on then bedside table.

    Alicia’s POV I waited a beat before continuing, noting the dark expression in her eyes. “I’m afraid I have no idea why you’re so combative with me, Cleo,” I sighed. “I have no intention of competing with you with regards to Acker or Mikael. They are my last and I am theirs.” “But you have the key to get them back through the twins, is that what you’re saying?” She seethed, a deadly aura about her. “You’re quite the plotter aren’t you, Alicia Stevens?” “I don’t care what you think I am but I’m going to say this once so listen carefully,” I stood, taking a step towards her. We were at the same height, and I stepped closer to her that our chests were almost touching. “Whatever problem you have with me, don’t even think about bringing it near my children. Since Mik and Acker seem to like you, I can’t stop that. But I won’t have you acting this way in front. My children, do you understand?” “Or what?” She smirked daringly, taunting in her words. “You’ll see. I’m no longer the p

Blood was splattered all over my shirt, pants and coat, and my gun was in the inner pocket of my jacket, the bullets in its chamber far spent.Dealing with Cross and his allies however was most satisfying, for at last we had the upper hand. With Serrano’s and my combined forces, we had forced most of Cross’ allies to retreat. Cross still had a warrant out for his arrest, and that meant the law enforcement in our pockets would turn a blind eye to the violence against his men.The stench of fresh blood, metallic and pungent, made my nose wrinkle.

    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,”

    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.”

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’

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

    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

    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
