Chapter 21Alice's POVAfter taking a shower in his bathroom, I slipped into his bathrobe, letting the warmth linger on my skin as I inhaled his scent, It felt like i was still in his arm, I then hurried out of his room back to my room. I didn't say a word to him. I knew my earlier words must have upset him, and honestly, they felt out of line. Why couldn't I just admit I liked him? Was it because I still had doubts about Greta, or was it because the sex we just had was so mind blowing that I suddenly thought of all the women he had slept with and how he made them scream his name in bed Sophia's words kept playing in my head, yeah I admit, I am a jealous freak...I can't stand the thoughts of other women laying their filthy hands on my man or having his dick stuck in their filthy pussies.I was also mad at myself for being an overthinker and I was sure I would have to eventually give him a clear explanation...my words earlier made me sound like a whore, but I don't mind becoming a who
Chapter 22Alex's POV"Alice, we need to talk," I said, keeping my voice steady, though inside, my heart was pounding hard. Nerves tightened every muscle, every thought in my head felt scrambled. I didn't understand why I felt this way, why she alone had the power to unravel me so completely. Me, Alex, who had lived through fire and blood, felt stripped bare in front of this one woman.Since the moment I met her, she had a hold on me, one I wasn't sure I even wanted to break free from."Alex, let me… I… I want to say something to you too," she replied, her voice soft, almost hesitant."Okay, you go first," I said, my heart thundering in my chest as a thousand scenarios flooded my mind. Was she about to end this, draw a line between us? Had she already begun to regret this tangled, uncertain path we'd chosen?"I'm sorry for what I said earlier," she began, her voice barely a whisper. I froze, the words hanging heavy between us. She was apologizing, but why? My heart pounded so loudly I

Chapter 23Alex's POVSaturday. No work, no meetings—just a rare day to relax and finally have her all to myself. I woke up, stretching my arm across the empty bed beside me. A pang of disappointment hit me when I realized she wasn't there. Where could she have gone so early?After a quick wash, I headed out, hoping to find her somewhere in the house. I'd given all the staff the day off, so we were completely alone—i wanted to have her all to myself for the whole day.Just as I stepped out of our bedroom, I saw her bounding up the stairs, her eyes bright and energized. She wore a fitted T-shirt and tights, looking effortlessly beautiful and, judging by her attire, ready for a workout.I walked toward her, reaching out to pull her into my arms. She laughed, letting herself melt into my embrace, her warmth easing the remnants of sleep from my body."How was your night?" I asked, enjoying the feeling of her so close."Never been better," she replied with a grin that made my heart skip.I
Chapter 24Alice's POV"No, Alex," I said, exasperated but trying not to laugh. "The video says stir-fry with oil, not water."Alex shrugged, looking completely unfazed. "Couldn't find any oil, so I thought water would do the trick."I groaned and almost facepalmed as I surveyed the bubbling mess in front of us. It had been a good thirty minutes since we'd started cooking, but somehow, we'd only managed to create a disaster. I'd looked up a simple recipe for jollof pasta online, and we were at the part where you're supposed to fry the tomatoes with spices to bring out the flavor. But Alex, as charming as he was, had thrown in water instead, effectively sabotaging the whole thing."You might actually be worse at this than I am," I teased, half-laughing."Oh? And here I thought I was good at everything," he shot back with a grin.I planted my hands on my hips, staring at the pan and wondering how I was going to fix this. "Maybe if we just… add oil now?" I said, mostly to myself.Alex pe
Chapter 25Alice's pov"Yeah, I've heard different stories about him and the evil he has committed...and i even heard he was finally convicted for his crime in year 1996 before i was even born" i replied as the name and all I'd heard about him jogged my memories, i already had goosebumps on my whole body."Well, he got out of prison in year 2004 after spending 7 years in prison in prison, as soon as he got out, he adopted me, I don't know how he knew about me or why he was so adamant on adopting me in particular, but yeah, that's how i ended up being his son...he trained me for years as his weapon...i had no free will, i had to obey every orders he gave me without questions, and over the years, i lost my humanity, i killed people without feeling an ounce of sympathy, although all the people i killed were as trashy as he was, to secure his hold in the underworld, he had me get rid of little fry mafia bosses who tried to go against him or were a threat to him..." He narrated, but surpri
Fake marriage is chapter 1...there was a little mix-up Chapter 2: Alice's POVThe midday sun cast a brilliant glare over the city, bouncing off the towering glass buildings as our sleek black SUV navigated through the bustling streets toward the restaurant. I leaned back in my seat, fingers tapping restlessly against the door handle as my mind wandered back to the stranger from the airport. I couldn’t believe I'd actually considered speaking to him, let alone involving him in my half-baked plan. But just as quickly as he'd caught my attention, he'd disappeared—distracted by a phone call, his focus directed elsewhere. Yet, somehow, he’d left a lasting impression, like a song stuck in my head. The intensity in his eyes when they met mine stayed with me, a curious spark I couldn’t shake. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. A stranger for a fake marriage? I must’ve been losing my mind. Caroline’s voice brought me back to the present. "Alice, are you sure this meeting tonight i
Chapter 3Alexander's POVI watched her walk away, her figure disappearing into the dim light of the restaurant lobby. I didn't even know her full name, yet somehow, she'd left an impression I couldn't shake. There was something about her—confident but mysterious, with an intensity that lingered long after she was gone.For the rest of the evening, I couldn't seem to let it go. It was absurd. I'd only exchanged a few words with her, yet the intrigue was palpable. It wasn't just her beauty, though she certainly had that. There was an energy about her, something that drew me in like a magnet. She'd approached me so boldly, as if she'd known exactly what she wanted. And the way she'd just as confidently turned and left… it was as if she already knew how this would play out.Still thinking about her, I barely noticed the sleek black car pull up to the hotel. The driver opened the door, and I slipped into the backseat, glancing out the window as the city lights blurred past. I knew I neede
