Damon's eyes focus on me and he smiles softly, pressing a kiss to my nose. "Studying is important to you, baby. And the morning sickness was really bad this morning, so it's okay."

I snuggle closer to his chest and smile lightly. "You have to get over the gender reveal thing. How are we supposed to buy clothing if we don't know what to expect," I say softly, bringing my eyes up to him.

Damon sighs, a frown touching his lips as he watches me. "I want it to be a surprise because I want the happiness to be more extreme when our baby enters this world," he whispers in my hair.

I guess that makes sense. At least some of it.

A nod takes over my head before I realise what's happening. "Okay, it can be a surprise." I sigh with a soft smile. Damon's lips meet mine as I wrap one arm around his neck and pull him closer to me.

I didn't know I could love someone so much in this world when this dark-haired asshole with a bad attitude walked into my life. The man I shouldn't have wanted, but I fought the forbidden side to keep.

A smile touches my lips at the thought, and I start giggling. He pulls back, a frown on his lips as he tilts his head and watches me. "When I first ever met you, you told me to get the fuck out of your seat and now look where we are." I hold my stomach as I hiccup more laughs.

Time flies and I still can't believe that first day I met him. Was only a small glimpse of him. He was so much more dangerous than any man could be. But I fell in love with a monster no matter how hard I tried not to.

Damon smiles at me before that smile becomes a smirk. "I saw that differently in my head. I mean, when I saw a hot brunette I didn't know sitting in my seat I wanted to say something, but it came out as a demand because I was such an asshole."

An asshole would be an understatement; he was so much worse than he even realises.

Smirking, I wrap my arm around his neck and slide my tongue down his throat. Our tongue tangles for dominance as our kisses become greedy. This man means the world to me, and I was right. He shattered me. So unbelievably shattered.

He wrecked me and stole my heart all in one.

Broken and helpless and he saved my life and he put me back together. Another smile touches my lips at the thought. "I love you," I whisper. I have never loved anyone the way I love him.

"I love you, Cinderella," Damon mumbles against my lips. I grin again, yanking his head down and smashing my lips into his. This forbidden love we have ventured into. It's ours. Forever.

March

I closed my eyes for the one hundred and tenth day I've been attending this class. It's not doing much for my brain, but perhaps it's teaching me something so I can defend my child and my girl. Reopening my eyes, I set my world to the side, needing a break. Boxing should help me release some stress I've been holding in.

Wrapping the boxing wrap around my fists and my wrists, I stalk over to a punching bag, slamming my fist into the bag as hard as I can.

She fucking threatened Hanna.

Four fucking months ago, she threatened my family. Clenching my teeth, I slam my fist into the bag again. Throwing another punch to the middle right after. The bag swings back and forth, the chains rattling above me.

"We're closing." Someone rests their hand on my shoulder. Spinning around, I get ready to throw another punch. Relaxing, I stare into Chloe's eyes as she frowns. Chloe owns this place; I hired her just to spite my mother.

Chloe is the baby my mother gave up. She had a baby before she was with my father, and I looked into dirt I could have on her to keep her in her place. So I had ways to destroy my mother in more ways than one. I came here to learn martial arts, but I also occasionally do some boxing.

A sigh falls from my lips. "Sorry," I mutter, tearing the wrap from my hands as I walk over to the bench. Grabbing my towel and all my things, I head for the locker rooms. I need to put my mother down. Now more than ever.

Resting my head against the wall of the lockers, I let out a sigh. This mafia shit is really taking over my mind and I can't think about anything else. Hell. Hanna and I haven't had sex in a month because my mind has been so occupied.

No, that ends today, even if my mind is still crazy as hell. I'm not gonna leave her hormonal without release any longer. Pulling my shirt over my head, I wipe my sweaty forehead before shoving the shirt into my locker.

Digging through my bag, I pull out my phone, quickly dialling Hanna. "Hello?" she mutters into the phone. A frown touches my lips when I realise she's actually talking to me. I've barely given her any attention since before exams for the first semester ended.

All I do is spend all my time plotting revenge or here at this gym and workout arena. She deserves better, especially after I fought to keep her.

Sighing, I stare off at the clock before replying to my beautiful girl. "Be ready to get naked tonight, I have big plans." I smirk even though she can't see me. I hold in the groan that forms in my throat at the thought of railing Hanna's tight pussy.

I can feel her smile on the other side of the phone. A grin is definitely touching those plump lips. "Yes, sir." She giggles into the line. Fuck, I have missed her laugh.

"See you soon, Cinderella." I smile before ending the call. Quickly shoving my phone into my bag, I strip out of all my work out clothing, disappearing into the showers.

Once the water touches my skin, I repeat a little smile appearing. I can't shut her out. I know my mind is buzzing, but she's everything to me and I can't just shut her out.
