A knock on the door jolted me awake the next morning, I opened my eyes, a wave of panic washed over me. Alessandro’s arm was wrapped tightly around me, pinning me against his hard chest. The warmth of his body was unmistakable, yet it confused me. Why was he holding me like this when he barely seemed to tolerate me? Did he get so drunk last night that he forgot his usual scorn?I shifted just slightly, careful not to wake him, and risked a glance at his face. My gaze traced the sharp angles of his jaw and those powerful shoulders I’d seen dominate so many rooms—and so many people. Despite the bitterness i felt in our marriage, I couldn’t deny how magnetic he looked, even in sleep. His muscular arms were wrapped around me like a cage, each tattooed line height​en​ing his strength. His thick thighs tangled with mine, and the heat of his body pressed against me in a way that had my heart racing. I bit back a sigh, forcing my gaze away from his closed eyes, strong, and calm face. I felt t

Alessandro's voice sliced through the air, cold and sharp. “In your own words, wife,” he sneered, his smirk loaded with threat. My throat tightened, but I managed to stammer, “N-no!”His gaze drilled into mine, victorious. “Exactly. And that’s the only answer I expect from you,” he drawled, each word heavy with contempt. Just then, Maria, standing off to the side, let her words slip in a hateful mutter, “Then… whose child is it?” She feigned an innocent expression, quickly backtracking with, “I… I didn’t mean to say that.”Her words hit their mark, lighting a dangerous fire in Alessandro’s eyes. He seized my face, fingers digging painfully into my skin. I felt like he might snap me in two. Leaning in close, his voice dropped to a venomous whisper. “If I find out you’re carrying another man’s child…” he warned, his tone oozing danger, “I’ll kill you and that bastard baby.” My heart sank, but I knew better than to try to defend myself. No explanation would satisfy him; I could feel it.

Aria sat quietly on the plane, the hum of the engines a relaxing backdrop to her racing thoughts. She stored one hand protectively over her belly, feeling the tiny flutter of lifestyles inside her. Her mind replayed the occasions of the past few days, a whirlwind of worry, betrayal, and heartbreak. But now, because the aircraft soared excessively above the clouds, she allowed herself a moment of desire. This turned into a new start for her and her infant.As the plane touched down in New York, Aria felt a mixture of excitement and tension. She had never been to the town before, and the bustling airport was overwhelming. She amassed her baggage and stepped outdoors, the cold December air hitting her cheeks and making her shiver. She hailed a cab and gave the motive force the address of a small apartment she had found online. It wasn't a whole lot, however, it would be a safe place to begin over.The rental became tiny, with peeling paint and a faint odor of mildew, but it was hers. Ari

The sound of sirens wailing within the distance seemed to echo in Aria’s mind, a steady reminder of the danger that lingered simply out of her door. Jack had insisted that they stay hidden for some time, but the weight of the state of affairs changed beginning to sink in. Aria had in no way imagined her lifestyle might be like this—at the run, constantly searching over her shoulder. It felt just like the calm before a storm, and the uncertainty gnawed at her each second."Aria, you want to rest," Jack said, his voice smooth but insistent. He became usually searching out for her, but she knew he couldn’t guard her from the infinite worry that pulsed in her veins. His subject changed into clear inside the way he watched her, the manner in his hand would often brush in opposition to hers in comfort, however it wasn’t sufficient to quell the storm inside her."I can’t," Aria whispered, her gaze fixed on the window, watching the nighttime grow darker. "I keep considering what Alessandro mi

The night had fallen bloodless and unforgiving as Jack and Aria made their way through the dense woods, the best sound was the crunch of leaves underneath their toes and the occasional rustling of branches. The air felt thick, and suffocating, even though the sector turned into conserving its breath in anticipation. Jack led the way, his eyes scanning the shadows with military precision, at the same time as Aria kept close at the back of him, her breath coming in shallow gasps. Every snap of a sprig, each breeze that surpassed, made her drawback, but she dared not display her worry. She had found out long in the past that fear might be as dangerous as the enemy itself.“Keep up, Aria,” Jack whispered urgently, his voice slightly audible above the wind.Aria quickened her tempo, her legs trembling with exhaustion. They had been jogging for hours, moving deeper into the woodland with no clean vacation spot in mind. The cabin that they had as soon as referred to as home now felt like a f
