Allira The last thing I expected that day was to get the message from my husband that he was leaving me and that our children were now mine. He waited until the moment we were on the plane to go on our family holiday to message me and say he wasn't coming and had left me. I thought I had overcome the shock during the holiday, but when I returned home with our kids a week later, I realised none of my cards worked. He had sold everything and run with the money, even my own businesses. I found myself living in the worst place possible, but I had no choice. I had nothing, my bank was overdrawn by my ex-husband, so all I had was the money in my purse. Nikolai Allira had always caught my attention. I didn't know why she worked for me, she had her own businesses, ones I know she built herself. For the last three years, however, she focused on working for me. She turned from a family holiday and told me her name was now Miss Embry. I laughed. How did a family holiday end in a divorce? I was stunned weeks later when I showed up where she was living, the place was the worst, but the main problem was the man who made me aware that Allira was his, and not in a good way. He looked crazed, so I did the only thing I could. I broke her door to prove it wasn't safe and insisted she and her children move in with me. Maybe I made a mistake by doing that?

In retaliation, Mercedes threw a $1 note at him as payment for his service and a measure of his performance, which she graded to be below average.

Being assigned to become the personal guard of a mafia boss is already a difficult task. Becoming his guard and carrying his child at the same time? Near impossible. “The baby isn’t yours.” Luciano smirked, a deadly glint flashing in his eyes. “Oh, really?” he asked, one of his eyebrows raised. He walked closer to me, each of his steps resonating in the dark room. I couldn’t help but gulp at the sight of him. It has been three long years since I’ve last seen him, but why has he even gotten hotter than before? “I’m going to ask you once more,” he said, leaning closer to my face. I held my head up high, determined not to succumb to his charm. “Is he mine?” I shook my head. “Definitely not yours.” His jaw ticked, and he looked to the side before leaning his face even closer to mine, his hot breath hovering over my lips. I held in my breath and watched the alluring movement of his lips. “Then, which scoundrel does that child belong to?” I placed both of my hands on his chest and gently pushed him back. “Why? What are you going to do about it if you know?” He tilted his head to the side and smirked. “I’m going to kill that b*st*rd.”

“I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
