Dee's POV...

I found Alex already in bed, going through some files. He looked fresh and ready for bed, which meant he had showered. Since our session in the closet, Alex had been sleeping in his boxers, so I was graced with the sight of his amazing body which always managed to turn me on. Especially his tattoos. Since he usually dressed his long sleeved dress shirts, his tattooed sleeves, chest and back was rarely on display. In fact the only time I got to see them was when we were in the room and he had changed.

"Hey." I said after closing the door, my voice husky and a little breathy from getting aroused just by looking at him.
My voice notified him that I was in the room, making him look up at me, his face instantly transforming from the intensity look he had while reading whatever was on the files as a relaxed smile graced his lips.
"Hey." He replied in his sexy voice, placing the files on the bedside cabinet on his side before getting up from the bed and walking towards me.
"How was the walk? I was getting worried because you took so long." He continued just as he reached me, wrapping his arms around my waist and  pulling me into his arms.
I placed my head on his chest, breathing his scent in, instantly making me relax.
"You shouldn't. You have guards posted everywhere and if anything had happened i promised I'd call you." I told him looking up and kissing his pout then going back to my original position.
"Its not that i don't trust you won't let me know, its just that you are fragile." He explained kissing my hair, his hands moving up and down my back.
"Oh? And do you think of that when we are busy fucking?" I teased.
"First of all, that excuse does not apply here. And two, its not fucking, its making love." He said with a huff making me laugh.
"Yeah. Sorry. Making love." I ammended which earned me a smile that made my heart beat faster.
I was so comfortable that I nearly forgot about my mission. Moving away from him, i walked to sit on the bed and he followed.
"Are you okay?" He asked noting the change in my moods.
"I have something to tell you but before I do, you have to promise to be calm." I told him.
He sat beside me, taking my hand in his and rubbed his thumb at the back of it, calming me.
"You can tell me anything."
"You have to promise not to get mad." I urged and noting the serious tone in my voice finally promised with a sigh.
"I promise. Now tell me whats got your cute panties in a twist?"
"A few weeks ago, Marcus approached me...and before you protest, i know I should have come to you as soon as he did but hear me out first." I began with a sigh.
"What did he want?" He asked and just from his tone i could tell he was trying to keep it together.
"He told me that he had become friends with Stephen only to exert revenge. When he saw your family's outburst over Stephen, he saw that as an opportunity to bring him down."
"As glad as I am that Stephen has more enemies than i thought, i still don't get where you come in." He cut me off.
"Well you keep cutting me off. And I'll stop right here for interrupting me all the time." I huffed at him in annoyance.
"Am sorry. I won't do it again until you finish. You can go on."
"Good. So he obviously couldn't come to you until he had something tangible to show you but he also knew that he needed to at least tell someone just in case he needed help and he thought since I was a neutral party and i was close to you I could arrange a meet up between you two. So we have been meeting to discuss progress and stuff and he finally managed to make progress. He found out where Stephen and Miranda have been meeting and planted a camera while they weren't around. He got something this evening and although there's no audio, the video shows them fucking and him passing an envelope with some documents in them. We don't know what the documents contain so thats where you come in." I finished.
"Thats great and all but have you thought that maybe this could be a set up? That  they could be working together?"
"I did. But my gut told me he was genuine and I tend to trust my gut. We can however tred  carefully if you feel hes not trustworthy. Just meet him first and hear what he has to say." I replied.
"I trust you. And your gut." He said with a chuckle making me smack him for teasing me." Arrange a meet up with him, tomorrow at six in the morning. At the office with the guys." He added with a kiss on my forehead as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me nearly on top of his laps.
"Now that that's out of the way, I want to show you just how much I've missed my lovely girlfriend." He said his hands lifting me onto his laps so I was now straddling him. And let me tell you he was very excited to show how much he missed me, if the boner i could feel was anything to go by. And the title he used didn't also go by me. Girlfriend. Its been a long time since that term was used in my life and I waited for panic to kick in but I was surprised that instead i felt giddy and excited about Alex calling me his girlfriend. It meant I was somehow important and not just as his baby mama.
"Girlfriend huh?" I teased.
"Oh yes. My girlfriend." He said as he trailed kisses on my neck.
"I can't seem to remember whether i was asked or when I agreed to this..." I said breathy, my voice husky as my brain tried to retain some control but my body and heart where already out to play.
"I thought it was pretty obvious with how I've been displaying my love for you out in the open." He declared.
"Love?!" I exclaimed moving away from him.
He looked at me confused at first then shocked as if he wasn't planning to let that slip.
"Shit!" He cursed and i narrowed my eyes at him waiting for him to explain.
"I wasn't planning on telling you until I knew you were ready."he said with a sigh.
"Tell me what?" I asked my heart already beating a hundred miles per second. And i knew i had to try and control its pace or else it would affect the babies too.
"That i love you. Am fucking in. love with you and i know you ain't ready to say it back and its okay I'll wait forever if I have to." he confessed and for the first time i saw how vulnerable i made him as he waited anxiously for my answer.
He loved me. Loved!!! I again waited for the panic to kick in but i realised that this was what i had been waiting for. For the first time i felt complete. Like this was where I wanted to be. With him. Forever. So with tears in my eyes, i kissed him deeply but before he could respond I broke it.
"I love you too. I have since the day we first made love." I told him and he gifted me with a smile so bright that I knew i had to make it my life mission to make sure he gave me that smile everyday.
"You don't know how happy that makes me. "He said before kissing me.
That night, we made love like it was the first time he was making me his. He made sure to worship every part of my body as did I to him and let me tell you there's no greater feeling like being loved by someone that you loved just as much.

The next morning, we woke up at five a.m and got ready for our meeting with Marcus. He had suggested five thirty since Stephen often went for his run then.
I was a nervous wreck and hoped Alex's cousins came on board with the plan and that we could maybe stop the wedding in time. The thought of stopping someone else's wedding left a bitter taste in my mouth but I knew it was for the better if we saved Cara from marrying that lying scum of a man.

By the time we made it to the office, everyone was present. We exchanged pleasantries and immediately got to down to business. After Marcus showed them the video, everyone was silent for a few minutes before Alex broke the silence.
"We need to find out what exactly is in that envelope."
"That's exactly what i was thinking. However, how will we know where they are keeping it?" Asked Sal.
"That's no problem. I put cameras in Miranda's room and she hid it there." Confessed Marcus sheepishly.
"If you weren't on our side I'd sue you for trespassing our privacy." Said Alex.
"So how do we go about this?" I asked.
"We find a way to get those documents before the wedding. Its the only thing we might have against them for now." Replied Sal.
"I just hope that those documents will be valuable to us otherwise all this will be for nothing." Said Alex with a sigh.
