Excerpt:

Angelo closed the door to Evangeline's office and grinned. She was an amazing woman that was all his. After he lost his wife he never imagine that he would have these feelings again but she had opened him up. She wasn't the only one that was broken and being put back together again.

"I have never seen Ms. Skyler this happy." A sweet female voice said, and he looked over his shoulder to where Heather was sitting. "You are an incredible man."

He twisted around to face the pixy blonde. She was beautiful but not like her boss, he hasn't seen any woman that came close to Evangeline's beauty. "She needs what we all need, to be loved." Heather's eyes darkened and he wondered why, but the phone rang and she quickly answered it.

"Angelo, we need to talk." He knew that voice and he really didn't want to deal with the other man that was clearly in love with the woman he was seeing. He wasn't blind or stupid he saw the way Axel looked at Evangeline when she wasn't paying attention.

He turned around and found the other man glaring at him. "Sorry I can't, I have a meeting I need to get to." He had to figure out what he wanted because working for the newspaper wasn't enough for him. At one time in his life he was running his family business and now he was a reporter.

He knew what his boss wanted and he wouldn't give it to him. He sought after a story that would make the CEO of Sky Tech look bad, and he would never do that to Evangeline. Even before he knew her and saw who she truly was he didn't believe in making someone look bad. When his family was murdered the press made him look like a monster. His own little brother thought he paid someone to take out his wife and daughter and hasn't talked to him in three years.

Axel marched towards him and he didn't look pleased, Angelo wondered if he always looked like that because every time he saw the driver he was never pleased. "Great, I need to go down to the main floor to chat with the new security team. We can take the same elevator." Angelo nodded he knew that whatever Axel needed to say he would say it regardless if they weren't alone. It was better to have this conversation with no one else around.

Axel pressed the button for the elevator and the doors instantaneously opened. Great, now he would have to be trapped in a small space with someone that clearly despised him. The doors closed and Angelo kept his eyes looking forward at the elevator closed doors.

"I have friends all over the world," Axel started and Angelo turned his head to the side to look at him; Axel was already facing him. "Before Evangeline started to have sexual relations with a man I would run a complete and full background check on him. So just like I have done for her many times I contacted some of my law enforcement friends here and in Italy. You wouldn't believe the fax I just received from Inspector Bertolazzi."

Angelo could guess what the fax said, because Carlo Bertolazzi loathed him and thought he was solely responsible for the death of his family. He tried to ruin Angelo but there wasn't any evidence to convict him, plus he spent a lot of money on the best defense lawyer. As soon as his lawyer told him that all the charges were dropped he left his home country and came to America to have a fresh start. He should have known that his past would catch up with him eventually.

"The fax said that you were the only suspect in your wife Maria's and three year old daughter Angelina's death. He sent over what he had on the case that is now cold because you paid someone above him to get you off of the suspect list." Angelo kept his face blank of all emotions.

"You shouldn't believe everything you read." Angelo said and Axel smiled mischievously.

"I gave Evangeline a red folder that had part of your background check, most of it at least. There was a lot of red tape I had to get around, but I did. I will do everything in my power to get you out of her life." Angelo wanted to know about the folder Evangeline had and if she had read it yet. The doors beeped as they opened but Axel pressed a button to close the doors. "We aren't done talking."

Angelo was done, he didn't need this. "Axel I know you are in love with Evangeline but she does not love you. If she did she would be in your bed every night not with me." Axel narrowed his eyes and tightened his fist against his legs. "Now, I really have a meeting I need to get to. Have a good day Axel." Angelo reached around the other man and pressed the button that opened the doors.
