“What happened, dorogoy? Why are you mute?” He spoke, again. It’s him. I have to get out of here as soon as possible!
“You fucking bastard!” I yelled on the phone and stood up. I have to take the first flight back to the United States.
“I would have carefully chosen my words if I would’ve been you, Anna,” He firmly stated.
“No, I would not choose my words carefully you bloody bastard! You can not get to me, not now, not ever!” Before he could say anything I hung up. I threw the phone on the bed then I started to fill my bag with clothes.
Unwanted tears spill from my eyes. I’m sorry Bella. I will get you from that prison, don’t worry but I have to go for now. I was being played the whole time! I can’t believe this. I have waited ten years to meet you, Bella and a few years wouldn’t hurt. I will be there with a new plan and we will meet. This plan had failed mi
“Fuck off,” I say and stand up to go to the washroom away from him but guess what? As I walked towards the washroom situated in the cabin he held my wrist. I look at his blazing hazel eyes. He is agitated. I can see that. I try to wiggle my hand out of his hold but he is stronger than me. His hold unbearably tightened on my wrist. I groan and look into his eyes and try to free my hand.“Now, you are going to see what happens when you disrespect me and misbehave with me,” He hisses then pulls me out of the cabin after picking up my bag. I try to free my hand from his hold and try to walk back to the cabin but he is not having it. He pulls me even harder and I can see my hand turning blue because of him holding my wrist tightly.“You better walk out of here willingly, Annabella. If not then-” I interrupt him.“If not then what? You can’t take me out of here forcefully, you bastard!” I yell at him. He looks in t
Isabella’s Point of View“Moya Lyubov, Bella! Wake up!” Geo whispered in my ear. I groaned and smacked his arm and turned towards the other side of the little soft heaven. “Bella, we don’t have time. I have a surprise for you!” he whispered enthusiastically in my ear.“George! You don’t want to do this! I know, love. So, please just go to your side and fucking sleep!” I almost screamed. My voice can cause anyone to cover their ears. Pregnancy has affected my voice.“Lyubov. What did I say about cursing?” He asked me sternly. I rolled my eyes and just growled at my husband for doing this to his pregnant wife, even though it’s just the starting and I don’t show much but I will still be called a fucking pregnant lady!“Geo! Why are you torturing me?! I hate you more than the height of Mount Everest!” I started while widening my arms to show how much I hate him. At the m
Annabella’s Point of ViewEvery person has their own flaws, strengths and weaknesses. My flaw was to trust Austin Volkov. I had never trusted anyone except for a few people. How ironic is it that I somehow unintentionally trusted my enemy, my target of destruction? Not only I trusted him for a reason or another but I was attracted to him as well.I’m trying to find a way to escape this hell hole at the moment. I had woken up with Austin beside me holding on to my body firmly, I had somehow wiggled out of his hold and tried to find something in the dark. Panicked and bewildered, I tried to find a wall to hold on to before I found an exit to this freezing room.With panic, anxiety at their peak along with bewilderment I did not notice what I was doing until I heard a gunshot. In this process, I somehow stubbed my toe against the furniture. I was frozen to my spot not knowing what happened and what to do next. I heard a few shuffling sounds before the lig
I was flabbergasted. I did not know what to say or do. I was just staring at the papers that had my sign and his sign on them. Our signs were on the paper side by side. He manipulated me and made me sign those papers before he added these clauses to the contract.Can’t believe he stooped so low and did this. I’m too shocked to say or react to anything. I can’t believe I had started to like someone like him. I was attracted to him for God’s sake! After seeing his true face, his true side I’m ashamed that I had started to like such a person. Good thing I’m not in love with him and I would never fall for such a manipulative man, ever.Without thinking twice I raised my hand and slapped him across his face, so hard that his face leaned on the other side. He wasn’t expecting that coming from me. He glared at me and in a second I was back in that position but the only difference was that my arms were placed on his chest and his hands
“Dorogoy, I would love to make you beg, in other circumstances and I will happily oblige to your pleadings but not in this situation,” He said with his hands behind his head and legs crossed, he was lying on the bed as if he was some sort of a king but to me, he was nothing but the dust below the sole of my shoe. He was disgusting and the statement he just made proved that. I did not try to hide the disgust shown on my face, he should know that his remark did not make me ‘turn on’ but made me feel nauseated.“Austin, can I please see her once? Please!” I begged again ignoring the statement he made. I wanted to see her once. Just once. I know she is not a kid but she is someone I adore even when we were not together for a decade or so. He looked at me from the same position he was in then nodded. I was exuberant. I can’t believe he agreed! I can’t describe the feeling I feel right now and I was too happy to care about it.
I turn around and look at the source of the voice. I look at the anonymous woman sardonically. I had expected to see Bella, not an unknown woman. I turn my gaze back to Austin, disgruntled. He had lied and did not keep his promise.“Austin? Where is Bella?” I ask him. He raises his eyebrows and looks behind me then back at me bewildered than his expression changes to a full-blown triumphant smile. Have I ever mentioned how breathtaking he looks when he smiles? His dimples come out of their hiding spots and they are the most prominent and eye-catching after his pair of eyes.“Darling, this is Bella. I was wondering why you wanted to meet her. You don’t even know her,” he said then made a thoughtful face. I did not have words to describe the all too familiar feeling in me. After all, I have been betrayed by the closest people all my life. He is clever, he knew who I meant when I said I wanted to meet Bella.“Austin, you know who
“Our wedding. Remember? It was just a contract marriage and I want a proper ceremony with all my people attending. I want every single soul on this earth to know that you are mine,” He said. WHAT?! A ceremony? What is wrong with him? I turned around in his embrace which proved to be a very wrong move from my side as our faces were just a few inches apart. I ignored his scent and our proximity to keep my ground and sanity.“Firstly, I’m not yours. Secondly, I haven’t accepted this marriage and I don’t accept you as my husband. Thirdly, if you somehow manage to drag me down the aisle then I have a condition. I want my sister to walk me down the aisle,” I said without looking at him. My hands were on his chest trying to push him away. His grip on my waist tightened and pulled me closer to him if that was even possible because we were as close as two fingers joined.“Annabella, you are mine and we don’t have to argue ov
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t see. I couldn’t feel my surroundings. I tried to come back to my senses, it was hard to see when black dots were swarming in my vision. After a lot of tries, I finally came back to my senses. I slowly tilted my head downwards, towards the gun. The gun was right beside my right bleeding arm. I looked back to Austin to see his handsome poker face. “Does your answer change?” He asked with his deep baritone voice. It’s funny how I find this man attractive in this life-threatening situation. His eyes, nose, lips and jaw are made in a way that it looks like a puzzle flawlessly coming together. I am stupid to decline before but I am not that stupid who would decline after being shot. Well not exactly shot but a bullet did graze my arm and pierced into the wall behind me. I nodded vigorously; looking at my expression he smirked and raised his eyebrows. “Words, Dorogoy. Use your words,” He said trailing the warm gun barrel on my bruised
It has been a few months since Dimitri was born. Six months to be precise. Dimitri is six months old. Time flies by so quickly. His cute laughter floats throughout the bathroom. His small chubby cheeks turn red from the lack of air intake. I am trying to clean him after he spilled his porridge all over his baby seat along with his clothes. He is very chubby, cute, and sweet. I can go on and on and on about him. My son is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has my eyes but looks like the baby version of Austin. He is the mixture of both Austin and me. Speaking of Austin, he has looked lost for the past few weeks. I don’t know what is going through his mind and he wouldn’t speak about it if I probed him. That has me thinking that a situation might have occurred at his workplace. He has to handle numerous legal and illegal acts. Something might have happened that has absorbed his attention completely. He has George working under him and he assists him with everything Austi
Could that be Austin? I walked outside the room while tying my robe around my waist; I spotted a large looming figure strutting up the stairs. I could not see who it was but the unique cologne of my dear husband gave him away. “Did you bring what I asked you to?” I asked him. He nodded and then was enveloped in a hug. “Yes, I did. Are you sure about that?” “I think I am pregnant,” I stated. “Come on, let's check. I am exhilarated,” We went through the instructions given and did the procedure the exact way they have instructed. He had bought three different tests and we tested them all. It was just the wait we had to do. Till we waited Austin kept on talking about how he will upgrade the security around the house. He also said that he will work from home now to take care of my needs. He is really jubilant. The wait was very long but it was worth it. I was in fact pregnant. One of the tests also mentioned that I was three months pregnant. We were going to become a family soon. W
Annabella's Point Of ViewIt's been a month and a half, and Austin and I are enjoying our time together. He gives me his complete time. He listens to me when I have to say something, and takes care of me when I am feeling a bit down. I remember how he cancelled his meeting with a few weapon traders just to take care of me when I was feeling unwell. Once, I had been throwing up in the morning after our night out. He had taken me to a posh restaurant to make up for me for not having lunch with me after promising he would. He had been adamant to call the doctor but I convinced him not to. He reluctantly agreed but did not leave the house for the rest of the day. There have been rainbows and sunshine for the past few weeks. Those rainbows and sunshine came after the storm and I don’t mind it. It has been worth it. I love him and I know he loves me too. I love the way he looks at me from the corner of his eyes. I love when he stares at me during breakfast and dinner. I just love him so m
I awoke when I felt something piercing my arm. It was a needle. I looked around me to see Austin sitting beside me and a female doctor injecting me.“How are you feeling?” Austin asks.“I am good. Nothing happened to me,” I say. He rolls his eyes then looks back at me.“You fainted and must be lying on that ground probably for a few hours,”“Yeah, I fainted. It might be because I skipped lunch,” I say. Austin glares at me.“You shouldn’t have skipped your lunch, Mrs Volkov. Your body needs proper nutrition and skipping lunch can lead to such incidents. I would recommend you to not skip any meal of the day and-” she tears the paper from her notepad and hands it to me, “-here are the medicines that you are required to take for a week. You don’t have to worry about anything, you fainted because of the lack of nutrition in your body. Please take care,” The doctor says a
I was dragged all the way from the foyer to his bedroom. I was crying, begging him to stop but my wails were heard upon deaf ears. He lugged me into his bedroom and hurled me over the bed.“Stop!” I hollered. He did not listen as usual and started tearing apart my clothes. My blossoms were bare and in his view. He did not even look me in the eye and ravished me like a beast he was.These past few days I have let him do what he wanted. He tortured, pleasured and played with my body and I did not dare to utter a word of disobedience. Today was something else. This was not because I wanted it was because he was punishing me for going against him.I accepted my fate when he used me just for pleasure. I wanted it. I was attracted to him, I am still attracted to him even after those hurtful words he said earlier today. I hate myself. I do not have control over my feelings and can’t help myself. I feel useless.Austin devoured and ravished my b
“Why haven’t you eaten your lunch?” He asked.“I did not feel hungry,” I said then closed my eyes pulling the comforter close to my body.“What do you mean ‘you did not feel hungry’?” He asked. Seriously?!“How come you are the leader of the Russian Mafia and do not know what a simple statement like that means?” I asked while stifling my laughter. He glared at me then walked towards the tray and sat on the bed in front of me with the tray. He without a second thought picked up the spoon with the creamy goods in it and brought it forward to my mouth. I parted my lips to engulf the spoon with my mouth but when I started to chew on the food I again felt the urge to vomit.I sprinted towards the washroom and emptied my stomach in the toilet bowl. Austin held my hair back while his other hand rubbed my back to ease the uneasiness. After washing my mouth I sat on the bed while Austin sceptically
I never thought I would get married to a beast, a monster. I never thought I would be caged in my room right after my marriage. I never thought I would hate my husband from the very bottom of my heart just like I thought I would love him. I never thought he would treat me like a mistress yet he did treat me like one.I was nothing but a person who satisfied his needs. There is a label to the relationship between us but there is nothing like it. Husband and wife is a beautiful relationship that has no bounds of love in it but here my relationship with my husband started with pain and ended with pleasure.I loathe the way my body reacts to his touches. It is just overwhelming to ensure that your body likes the touches of a person you abhor. His touches burn my skin yet I like it. His kisses bruise my lips yet I like it. He uses me like a person uses a handkerchief- uses it then keeps it away then again uses it then keeps it away. That is what my life has been for the pas
“I have never done this to any woman before. You are the first and will be the last to ever experience this from me, Ella,” He stated. Something like this wasn’t expected from a powerful man like him. He is handsome, powerful, a man with status, who wouldn’t fall at his feet? I thought women loved wealth and power. Didn’t anyone try to seduce him? Didn’t he get seduced?“I was saving my first experience with the only person I want to spend my whole life with. I have waited years to be with you and I will never let this go. It wasn’t easy to ignore those women who were greedy enough to give their precious things to some stranger,” He said, then trailed kisses down my jaw to my collar bone.“I have waited and will keep waiting for you to fully surrender to me, Ella. Now is the time to back out but once the deed is done I will not let you back out. Remember that,” He looked into my eyes searching for confir
Before the unholy matrimony, I felt devoted to something in life. I had an aim, a goal to accomplish but now I don’t. It is very weird to sit free all day because I have never sat free. I always had something to do; my first two to three years without Isabella were hell. I lived with Drake and his family but I felt like I was a burden on them. I was emotionally alone and tried to fight the demons within me to stay sane.The next few years without her were much better than the first few years. I had enough money to rent a small place and train myself for this. I started to get in touch with shady people to reach Austin. It was hard to make them trust me but I did. I climbed each step as slow as a snail and went through the hardships to gain their trust. Then with Drake's acquaintances, I started to get to know more people and finally, I killed Jaden- Austin’s previous second in command.Jaden was a cheater. He cheated Austin by keeping an allia
