After, Kaitlyn had settled down at the estate. I left to work. I hadn't been in the company office since I got married, they might have assumed that I was on honeymoon or something.

Paperwork was as high as a mountain. I had left this legal shits for way too long, I thought I could trust my dearest brother with it, but god was I wrong.

I spent the whole day working and sorting everything out before heading to the warehouse for a meeting with Brandon.

" Are you sure you're attacking the Vipers in cold blood? They had been our ally since your dad was in charge. " Brandon questioned my decision.

" Why shouldn't we? He attacked my wife, your lady boss, and me. " I said cocking an eyebrow at him.

" Alright. But, what happened to your last plan? I thought we were using Talia to get to her father not get in there and just kill them. " he asked.

" Alana didn't like the girl. " I sighed lighting my cigarette.

Brandon's head fell back as he laughed it off holding his stomach.

What's funny about a man trying to satisfy his wife?

" Since when did Seth Salvatore take order from someone? " he chuckled.

" I hate to admit this but that woman scared me. " I grunted under my breath.

It was until Alana came along when I knew how my father really felt when mother threatened him.

The woman was too brave and reckless for her own good, she was the only one who got the guts to defy every orders of mine, she pushed every buttons of mine, she made me felt all kind of sensations I hated to feel, and the problem was that I couldn't do anything about it.

She had me wrapped around her little finger with her attitude and her goddess of a body. Despite hating it when she disobeyed and challenged me, I found it hard to be mad or put her in her place.

Alana had become my most prized possession in such a short time. And, I wasn't mad about that, I would do anything to make the girl happy and safe.

" Yeah. You should be scared she is capable of stabbing you in your sleep and won't even feel guilty about it. " Brandon chuckled snapping me out of my thought.

" Yeah. She is something else. "

" So, we're really going on a battle with the Vipers next week huh? " he asked finally back into business mode.

" Yes. That's final. " I said puffing smoke out of my mouth.

" They are a small gang we can easily wipe out anytime. So, I think we won't have to take many men with us and you can stay back. " Brandon said.

" That's what disturb me, Bran. They are way too small to have the guts to mess with us. " I said thinking hard.

" Woah. I haven't thought about that. " Brandon furrowed his eyebrow.

" They must be working with someone bigger to have the braveness to do what they did. "

" What are you thinking? " he asked leaning closer to the desk.

" I'm thinking I have to go on the battle with you just in case they have backup or help from someone. Be sure to bring Talia, her dad, and the second in command back alive. We will be having some interrogation to do. " I said earning a smirk from Brandon.

Brandon and I talked a bit more about the plan until dark.

Tonight would be the first time I was coming home after a week of burying myself in this office thinking of a false plan.

" Let's go to my club? Have some fun? " Brandon asked.

" No. I'm going home. "

" The biggest player has settled down to one woman. I'm so proud of you, Seth. " he chuckled patting my back.

" Shut the fuck up. " I smacked the back of his head.

No woman attracted me anymore after Alana, she had captured me entirely and it was a bit scary but I think I would make it through, eventually.

Before her I was a fool thinking one woman could never satisfy me, man was I wrong. All I could think about now was her, the way she felt under my touch, the way she moaned my name, the way her lips felt against mine. I was addicted to her.

No woman seemed fuckable to me anymore after her.

Brandon and I made our way to the car ready to be escort home by my bodyguards, both didn't feel like driving after a long day.

" I heard something about this morning. Do you really think assigning your ex girlfriend as your wife's bodyguard is a genius move, Don Salvatore? " Brandon asked looking at me liked I was an idiot.

Maybe I was an idiot. But, I thought I could trust Alana with Kaitlyn, she had sworn to protect our family with her life and the girl always took her job seriously.

Kaitlyn Brandon and I basically grew up together along side Victoria. But, the two girls never got along.

Victoria hated her guts since the first we played together, she claimed to hate how Kaitlyn always wanting to play with only me and trying to impress me with everything she did.

" She will never know that Kaitlyn and I had history if you just shut the fuck up. And, we will be fine. "

" Yeah, that would have been genius if your wife wasn't the one and only best friend of the mighty Victoria Salvatore. " Brandon stated with a stupid smirk on his face.

" How did she become Vicky's best friend, again? Your wife must have been a witch or something. I swear Victoria hates every female species. " he continued.

" Alana makes it hard for people to dislike her. " I said mentally smiling as I thought about the goddess herself.

" You're so whipped, mate. " Brandon chuckled.

" And, you're so dead if you don't shut the fuck up. "

We rode in silence after that as Brandon was too busy texting whoever on his stupid phone.

" Do you want to come in for dinner? " I asked turning to him when the car made it to the front door.

" Free food and your hot wife dealing with your ex? I wouldn't miss that for the world. " he said excitedly before jumping out of the car.

I took a deep breath before getting out after him.

I was sure Alana knew what happened between Kaitlyn and I by now. I meant she had a whole damn day with Victoria after all.

I walked into the dining room preparing to face my angry wife and smirking Victoria but instead I was faced with a calm looking Alana sitting quietly in her seat ready to be served while Victoria was looking into spaces.

What the hell was going on?

I took a seat at the head of the table with Alana to my right as my parents were out of town. She looked up smiled at me before turning back to her food.

I took this opportunity to steal a glance at Kaitlyn who was standing beside the door frame in her bodyguard mode.

This didn't seem right at all.

Did Victoria not tell her anything? If not I was so going to buy her a Lamborghini tomorrow.

" Kaitlyn why don't you join us? " Brandon asked with his mouth full of food.

Victoria looked up, gave him her most deadliest glare before turning to Alana.

Maybe I should shove more things like a knife down his throat and glued his mouth shut.

" Yeah, Katy why don't you join us? You used to be my husband's childhood friend after all. " Alana said calmly as she took a sip of her water.

Shit. She knew.

" Vic showed me your childhood pictures today. I would never guess you love role playing, Seth. Princess Kaitlyn's knight in shining armor huh? " she said smiling sweetly at me.

Rumors were true. Women are devil.

" Let's not talk about the past shall we? " I asked taking her hand into mine.

" But-

Bang Bang.

Shit. You had got to be fucking kidding me.

Well, at least they saved me from my wife's wrath.

I cursed before shoving Alana under the table with my body covering hers.

Bang Bang.

I cupped her face in my palms turning her attention back to me.

" I need you to go to Victoria and run into my office, okay? Victoria will take you into the safe room behind my bookshelf. And, don't come out until I come to get you. "

" What about you? " she asked stroking my cheeks.

" I will be fine. "

" No come with us. " she begged on the urge of tears.

" Baby, please listen to me for once. " I said caressing her cheeks.

" I will be fine as long as I know you're safe. " I pulled her in for a kiss before letting her out of my hold.

" Come back to me or I will kick your ass. " she said kissing my cheek one last time as I chuckled.

Bang Bang.

" Go. " I said pulling my gun out of my waist band as she nodded.

These motherfukers were so dead.
