"Well, well, well," He said, his voice low with a hint of both playfulness and danger in it. I know I am caught like a deer in the headlight but still I did not came out, holding onto a little hope that is crushed long ago. "What do we have here?" His voice was demanding and threatening, forcing my feets to move on their own to come out of the shadows.

Chapter: EpilogueI dreamt of it. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|I slipped into the peach-colored bridesmaid dress, feeling its soft fabric cascade down my body. The slit on my right leg added a touch of elegance, while my hair, tied up in a loose bun with a few locks framing my face, completed the look. I applied a swipe of lipstick, then turned to see Kirill, my boyfriend, dressed in his tuxedo, looking as handsome as ever.As he approached me, circling one arm around my waist, I couldn't help but smile up at him. Adjusting his tie, I felt his hand cup my cheek, his thumb caressing it gently. Leaning in, he cupped my jaw, and our lips met in a tender kiss. Despite the months that had passed since I was shot, I could still see the fear in Kirill's eyes, the fear of losing me.To dispel that fear, I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. I was unashamedly addicted to this man; he was my everything, filling every corner of my heart and soul. Breakin

Chapter: Chapter 76In the end, the togetherness is all that matters. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|As I paced back and forth in front of the operation theater, my heart felt like it was caught in a vice grip, each beat echoing in my ears like a relentless drumbeat of dread. All I wanted was to hear the doctor come out and tell me that she was completely fine, that she was okay, that she was safe. But as I glanced down at my hands, still stained with her blood, the reality of the situation hit me like a sledgehammer to the chest.I saw the way she had slowly closed her eyes, surrendering herself to the darkness, and my chest tightened with a pain so sharp it felt like I was being stabbed with a thousand knives. But she must not know me well enough if she thinks I would ever let her go so easily. No, I would fight tooth and nail to keep her with me, to bring her back from the brink of death and into the light once more.As I glanced around at the worried faces o

Chapter: Chapter 75Is it the end or the beginning? -Unknown. |K I R I L L|My pulse raced as the tension thickened in the room, suffocating us in its grip. "Shoot him, Aleeza," Nicolas's voice cut through the silence like a knife, commanding her to take action, but her hesitation spoke volumes, a silent protest against the violence that threatened to consume us all.I watched in disbelief as her fingers trembled on the trigger, the weight of her decision bearing down on her like a heavy burden. Lorenzo's arrival only added to the chaos, his voice a jarring intrusion in the tense standoff."What the fuck is happening here?" Lorenzo's words echoed in the room, his eyes scanning the scene with a mixture of confusion and concern."Stay back, Lorenzo," Nicolas's response was swift and dismissive, his tone laced with authority.Lorenzo's plea for reason fell on deaf ears as Nicolas's resolve hardened. But her trembling hand betrayed her fear, a silent plea

Chapter: Chapter 74But if the story is over, why am I still writing the pages. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|As the echoes of gunfire reverberated through the mansion, I wasted no time in arming myself, reaching for my gun tucked away in the wardrobe. It felt familiar in my grip, a cold weight that offered both comfort and reassurance in the face of danger.I spared a fleeting thought for Lev, grateful that I had sent him back to college when news of the impending war reached our ears. He may have grown up in this world of violence and bloodshed, but he had not been groomed for it like I had. It was a relief to know that he was safe, far away from the chaos that threatened to engulf us.With my weapon in hand, I rushed towards my father's room, my heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread. I knew what awaited me on the other side of that door, and yet I pushed aside any doubts or fears that threatened to cloud my mind.As I entered the room, I found

Chapter: Chapter 73He can never go unseen in a world where I exist, because, he is all I see. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|As I paced back and forth in the dimly lit study room, my mind buzzed with thoughts of the impending war. The tension in the air was palpable, weighing heavy on my shoulders like a burden too heavy to bear alone. The news of the Russians' brazen attack on Lorenzo's warehouses and the theft of a rare piece from Nicolas had sent shockwaves through our family, igniting the flames of conflict that threatened to consume us all.Viktor Volkov's name hung in the air like a dark cloud, his reputation preceding him as a force to be reckoned with. The Russians were moving with the speed of light, leaving destruction and chaos in their wake. And yet, despite the looming threat, I couldn't bring myself to ask my brothers to show mercy or to slow down their plans. The war was not just between two gangs; it was a battle that involved hundreds, even thousa

I hadn't spoken to my father since returning from Italy, my heart heavy with the weight of farewell unspoken. And Nikolay... Nikolay, once a trusted friend, now a betrayer who had shattered the fragile trust between us. The knowledge that he had revealed my feelings for Aleeza, leading to her abduction, weighed heavily on my soul.I missed her desperately – her warmth, her scent, her smile, every little detail that made her who she was. But more than that, I missed the possibility of a future with her, a life where we could be together without the shadow of our families' rivalry looming over us.I sat alone in my room, the glow of the laptop screen illuminating the darkness that had settled within me. Every attempt to devise a plan to reunite with Aleeza ended in defeat, eac

The Burning Desire
Book 1 in Russo Series.
Loud gun shots echoed all around in the huge mansion. Cold bodies lying unalive on the floor as we walked over those bodies to find her.
"Damn! She really is a killing machine." I heard Lorenzo's voice ringing in my ear through the earpiece.
He is right. She is a killing machine. The amount of dead bodies we crossed and the way blood is splattered on the floor like water proves it.
"Nic behind you!" Shawn warned me in urgency and I turned behind to look at the same girl I fell in love with, heading towards me, blood painting her face.

I ask Flora, who sat beside me eyeing the food eating monster ahead of us. Two bowls, one of pickle and another of chocolate rests on the table and we are strictly ordered to keep my eyes off that food, because apparently, that weird combination of food only belongs to her. We would not even like to ruin our taste buds with that. Thank you very much. "Does it matter?" Flora asked me, holding the glass of warm milk in her hand that Zyra needs to drink to digest all the food she has been eating lately. "She would not stop, anyways." She shrugged. "Why don't you talk to her about it?" I tell Flora, because if I would go to talk to her she would start throwing things at me, which includes everything from cushion to flower vase. "And, get myself admitted in the hospital?" Flora

Chapter: Chapter 93Until you have tethered your madness to someone else's sanity in order to keep breathing, you don't know vulnerability. -Nicole Lyons.|Z Y R A|In one quick move he reached for me, tugging me against his chest as he claimed my mouth with his, in a kiss that was so much hotter and possessive. His lips slanted over mine, hot and needy as his tongue tasted my mouth. I froze in shock for two seconds or three before I kissed him back. His mouth was punishing, slamming against mine, savage and raw. He attacked me with his lips and I met every single assault of his, I moaned into his mouth. Explosions of sensation that I felt all over my body as his mouth attacked mine were so intense. I kissed him just as savagely, channelling all my rage into the kiss, biting his bottom lip, hard. I bit hard enough that it draw out blood and I tasted blood, my tongue darted out to swipe at his lips. He growled low in my throat, pulling me closer. His to

Chapter: Chapter 92People will kill you over time, and how they will you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like "be realistic". -Dylan Moran. |N I C O L A S|The loud piercing scream of the man travelled to my ears, providing the extreme relief. In the shadowed recesses of the chamber, an oppressive malevolence hung thick in the air, suffocating reason and festering in the very marrow of the room. The acrid scent of fear, a tangible miasma, intermingled with the metallic tang of desperation, creating a spectral atmosphere that clawed at the edges of sanity.Cillian, the hapless who had dared to sever the tether to my soul, now cowered in the spectral gloom, his futile resistance against unyielding restraints a pitiful ballet of despair.A cruel grin twisted my lips, a grotesque mask of malevolence that reflected the abyssal darkness within.The flickering light, a feeble sentinel against the encroaching shadows, cast ominous shapes upon my countenance, morphi

Nicolas, with his overbearing protectiveness, insisted on handling even the lightest chores, citing potential risks that only his mind could conjure. A simple task like reaching for a cereal box became a hilarious dance of him swiftly gliding in, determined to be my knight in shining armor."Nicolas, I'm just grabbing some cereal, not defusing a bomb," I teased, watching his serious expression dissolve into a reluctant grin."You never know, love. Pregnancy cravings can be unpredictable," he quipped, handing me the cereal box with a flourish.Did I mentioned that ever since he has started calling me love, I get this weirdly good feeling enough my stomach where I just wants to remove everything from between us and kiss him?Just like Ni

Chapter: Chapter 90No human being has ever stood so close to my soul as you stood. -James Joyce. |N I C O L A S|I stood at the edge of the hospital bed, Zyra resting peacefully amidst the sterile surroundings. Her dark hair spilled over the pillow, a cascade of untamed waves framing the serenity on her face. The lines of worry that had etched themselves into her features were softened, replaced by a newfound vitality. The transformation was as palpable as the anticipation in the room.My gaze lingered on the subtle curve of her belly, evidence of the life growing within. The very thought of the tiny heartbeat beneath her skin fueled a fierce protectiveness within me.Zyra's lashes cast delicate shadows on her cheeks, and the rise and fall of her breathing was a soothing rhythm. The beeping of the machines served as a background melody, a reminder of the fragility of life and the strength that could emerge from vulnerability.Her hand, warm and delicate, reste

Chapter: EpilogueTwo months later..."You are hot." Iris' mother complimented Lorenzo and he blushed under the judgmental gaze of his girlfriend's mother."Daisy!" Mr. Emerson scolded but only if his wife was one from listening."What? Isn't he?" Mrs. Emerson looked up at her husband with doe eyes and her husband gave in."Thank you so much for coming." Lorenzo thanked the couple, genuinely."Oh come on, you are proposing her. We need to be here." Mrs. Emerson shrugged."You better take care of my little daisy or I will kill you." Mr. Emerson threatened and a death warning coming from such a sweet person absolutely had an deep impact.Lorenzo nodded his head as he assured the couple, "I will always take care of her. And, if any day I fail, you are free to take my life." Lorenzo added.Mr. Emerson nodded with assurance at the man's sincerity before walking ahead towards their assigned room."How is my favourite son doing?"

Chapter: Chapter 175What we lived through is living in us. -Unknown. |I R I S|"I have a surprise for you." Both Lorenzo and Rowan said in unison. While Rowan had a big ass smile on his face regarding the same, Lorenzo had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I stared up at them, confused. "What surprise?" Lucas asked on my behalf. "Wait!" Rowan exclaimed and quickly rushed outside the mansion, leaving the three of us behind to wait for him. He returned with two people on his tail, but he was blocking my view so I could not really see them, until he stepped aside letting me take in my surprise. "Oh my god!" The words left my lips when I saw Tori and Vince standing at a few meter distance.Tori was wearing a yellow top and black jeans while Vince on the other hand was dressed formally, like going on a business trip. I waited no more time before I rushed to them and pulled Tori in a none crushing hug. She hugged me back, happily. "I am so happy that

Chapter: Chapter 174An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. -Gandhi. |I R I S|"Good morning," A husky and drowsy voice greeted me in my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I smiled, contently, at the beautiful sight in front of me. He was hovering my body and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck when I gave him a smile. His nose tickled my sensitive skin, pulling out a giggle from me. My hands found their to his back and I sighed in pleasure as he marked my translucent skin with his torturous kisses. He took hold of my both hands in his one and pinned them above my head. His eyes gazed into mine for a fleeting second before he leaned down and crashed his lips against mine, holding me caged under his huge body. "God! I missed you." He whispered against my lips before he shoved tongue inside my mouth, ravishing it. I was completely at his mercy and he was merciless. His free hand explored my half naked body as his hand travelled from my s

Chapter: Chapter 173Peace be upon those who hand pick their words, for fear of hurting anyone. -Unknown.|I R I S|Today, I am going to talk to Marcus. Because, umm, I kind of got distracted from the mental note I made last night. Anyways, I wore my white crop and black jeans before I headed towards his room. Marcus, I mean. Marcus' room is right opposite to Lorenzo's. The mansion is silent today, as if, people are still asleep. Most importantly Rowan. He is the only one who keeps this mansion alive with his cheerful screams when his favourite team wins a match, or when he running away from the other mam whoever he has pissed or annoyed in the mansion on the specific days. Once, I was standing in front of Marcus' room, I heaved out a long breath and lifted my hand to knock on his door. I waited for him to open the door while I thought about all the things I can possibly talk to him about. His sister? All the things starts from her and end on her. I was bu

Chapter: Chapter 172I want you. Your bones. Your body heat. The bite marks your teeth leave, to see how bad and beautiful those eyes look beneath me. -Beau Taplin. |I R I S|After spending the whole day together inside the room with Rowan, talking and watching movies, we finally came out of that hole at night, during the dinner time. Lorenzo, Lucas and Marcus were already sitting at the dinner table, waiting for us while the servants served the food. Lorenzo's eyes immediately came to meet mine as if he has suddenly got some super natural powers to know about my whereabouts. I descended the stairs with Rowan on my tail. When we reached the dinner table, Rowan was quick to take a swat right next to Marcus, who by the way looked very lost and was barely eating. I made a mental note to have a conversation with him after dinner. I sat down next to Lorenzo on the dinning table, his heavy gaze ready to burn a hole in my head with the intensity he is watching me.

Chapter: Chapter 171A loss is not always a lesson. Sometimes it's just a tragedy. -Unknown. |I R I S|I saw through my half open lids as he immediately rushed to me in the burning house. Vince."Iris!" He called out again but my body feels so hot and exhausted that it feels almost impossible for me to say anything. The wound in my chest hurts so much, "Iris, open your eyes." Vince patted my cheeks as he tried to get me back to my senses. Vince looked worried. Sick worried. Like with me, he himself is going to get admitted in the hospital along with me. If we would even reach there in time. "Fuck!" He cursed and if he is cursing then the matter is really worse. Because Vince does not curse. I have never heard him curse except the one time when Tori fell down the stairs. Vince was scared for her because he thought she is going to die and leave him alone. He might not say it but it is very obvious that he loves his sister so much. Tori is lucky to have h
