Matteo POV
“Boss, she is going to the Gala”, I hear as soon as I answer the phone. I take a deep breath and I instruct him to get me tickets, it doesn’t matter how he gets them, I need tickets for me and Leo. I don’t trust myself to go alone, I might end up bringing Avery with me.
I end the call and and walk into my bedroom to get changed, I don’t have a lot of time, as I do so I call Leo instructing him of what is happening. I can almost see him rolling his eyes as soon as I say we are going to the Gala.
“I thought you hated that kind of events”, Leo says and I take a deep breath.
“I do, but I am following your advice, I am going to get get what is mine”, I say and Leo laughs on the other side of the line.
“If she wants you back, after what you said to her I imagine she will never want to see you again”, Leo spits and I end the call because I don’t want to tell him to fuck off. I look at myself

Avery POV I get myself ready for class when my phone starts ringing, I smile seeing Jason’s name flashing. Since the night of the gala we have been texting and he is a very nice guy. I reply to his text and then I throw my phone back into my bag. I grab my keys and I leave the house to find Leo standing outside my building. I shake my head and I walk past him, I need to get the subway to uni and I don’t have time for this. “Avery, wait, I need to talk to you”, he says but I don’t stop, I keep walking and he soon catches up to me and he grabs my arm making me stop to look at him. “What are you doing?”, I ask pulling may rm away and Leo raises both his hands in front of his chest. “Look, he is miserable without you”, Leo says and I turn around and start walking again. Leo starts walking next to me as he continues to talk saying that Matteo needs me, that he is miserable and is not himself lately, he has b
Matteo POV “Boss, where do you want these ones?”, One of my guys asks as he is holding a box with drugs we confiscated the last time we did an assault to the containers arriving by boat at the doc. “Put them in the back of the car, I will be there soon”, I reply as I walk away opening another container to find the new pills that are getting everyone in New York addicted to drugs. I hold a bag in front of my eyes looking at the pink pills, I don’t like this at all, I don’t deal heavy drugs, I don’t deal with that kind of shit. I am not a good man, but drugs, prostitution and human trafficking is out of my league, I never dealt with that shit. “Boss, come and have a look at this”, Leo says and I approach him to find a girl inside one of the containers. “Fuck”, I whisper, we both get inside attending to the girl that is passed out on the floor. “She’s barely
Avery POV “You’re going to be okay”, I hear a voice in the background, but I am too tired to move or respond. I open my eyes and stretch, feeling the soft blanket on top of my body. I take a deep breath, and I am hit by the most amazing smell ever, Matteo’s smell, the smell of whiskey mixed with aftershave and danger. I open my eyes slowly, adjusting to the light and seeing him sitting next to the bed. His eyes are closed, his beard is bigger than usual, and he looks exhausted. He seems like he has aged a few years. What the hell is going on? I move in the bed, and I sit, and as soon as my eyes meet his, they are now opened, looking at me as if it was the first time he was seeing me. His eyes are filled with emotions, and I have never seen them like that. He moves closer to the bed, taking a deep breath and offering me a smile. “Thank fuck you’re awake”, he says, and I look around trying to understand w
Matteo POV “Are you ready?”, I ask before kissing Avery’s bare neck. I can see a chill down her spine while she turns around facing me. “Almost”, she says before turning around again and looking at herself in the mirror. Today is our one year anniversary and I pretend to propose to her. We haven’t talked about marriage or kids, but I am hoping that she wants it as much as I do. I can’t believe I thought I would be happier without her, that I would be able top manage having a life protecting her from afar. Once I realised that wasn’t possible things became a lot easier. “I’m ready”, she whispers as she puts on her right shoe. I love watching her getting dressed, she is so sexy that makes me want to rip her clothes off instantly, as soon as they touch her skin. I offer her my hand and she takes it while we walk down the stairs of our new penthouse. Avery ha
Avery POV “Hey, can I talk to you?”, I ask as I look inside the office that has the door opened. Matteo lifts his head and locks eye with me, he passes his hand through his hand and tells me to come in. I walk towards him and he pulls himself away from the desk and pats his legs telling me to sit on him. I feel my cheeks burning but I ignore it and I walk towards him and I sit on his legs wrapping my arms around his neck while he pulls my hair back giving him better access to my neck as he kisses me. I moan but I soon stop and pull away from Matteo forcing him to look at me. “What’s up?”, Matteo asks and I look at him licking my lips before I smile. “I was wondering, why we never talk about your work?”, I ask and I feel Matteo’s body go stiff and he moves uncomfortably under me. I try to stand up but Matteo keeps me sitting on his lap. I take a deep breath as he
Matteo POV I look at myself in the mirror fixing my tie at the same time my bedroom door opens and Amber walks in. “I can’t believe you are going through with this”, Amber says as she closes the door behind her back. I look at her but she is wearing a big smile and a beautiful pink dress. “I know, who would’ve thought?”, I say as she wraps her arms around my neck and tells me how happy she is that I am happy. I tell her I am scared and she gives me a side glance. I can’t help but be petrified that she won’t show up, or that she will say no at the altar. “Is everything ready?”, Amber asks and I nod my head as we walk out of the bedroom to find Leo sitting in the couch looking down at his phone. “Can you tell him to stop looking at his phone?”, Amber asks and I can’t help but laugh. “Sorry sis, but he is in charge today, I am letting everyth
Avery POVAs the car stops at the venue where the party is being held Matteo kisses my stomach and then may lips before he opens the car door and gets out offering me his hand. I have to say that today is going better than I have ever dreamed about, Matteo, had everything ready with my mom’s help. Mom and Amber did amazing. I can’t even believe I am married to the man of my life. To the man of my dreams, he is everything I have ever dreamed about, he is caring, dangerous, sexy and he knows how to please a woman in ways I never dreamed it would be possible. I blush thinking of our heated nights and how I am enjoying being married to him.“Are you ready?”, Eliana asks as soon as I get out of the car and she helps get my dress in the right position. They got me a beautiful fitted Vivian Eastwood dress that hugs and accentuates all of my curves making me feel the sexiest woman alive. My make up is soft and my nails with French manicure. Before walki
Matteo POVThe drive to the private airport was fast and smooth, Leo had everything under control, and I am very grateful for it. I love the idea that I could get married to my beautiful wife without anyone trying to put a bullet in my head. I open the door and help Avery out as soon as the car comes to a stop. We stroll to the private jet, where the pilot and crew wait for us outside.“Mr and Mrs Rizzo, welcome”, The pilot greets us as soon as we get to them and offers me his hand to shake. After exchanging hellos, the pilot proceeds to explain all the checks being made while we talk, and my men walk into the jet to check the inside and make sure that everything is up to my standards.Avery is tired, and her eyes look heavy. I can’t wait for the jet to be in the air so I can put my girl to sleep. She looks exhausted, and as I was reading in the car while we drove there, the first trimester is th
