Today is the conference meeting with Mr Knight. Along whatever it was a couple of days ago, he’d decided to meet all the companies that had proposed to sign a deal with them and will arrive here at any moment.
Austin had called me in his cabin this morning regarding the meeting today. When I entered his office he was standing there with a bouquet of multi flowers. I was surprised when he smiled and handed those to me. He didn’t even say anything at first but kissed me like we were a couple. I know I’m crossing the line by saying this but ‘Everything is allowed in love and war’, and I'm afraid I have taken that too seriously.
“This is for you…” he did not complete his sentence but looked at me, dipped his head down and kissed me again.
“Thank you, Austin, for these lovely flowers,” I said. He was trying his best to not laugh but he failed. Why was he even laughing? I looked at him as if he was crazy; we
I could hear Isabella and me screaming for him to stop. The scenes of Liam hitting my sister and me with a belt, or a whip kept on playing in my mind; the way he made us feel like the dirt he was.“No! Please stop! Please, we are sorry! I did not know-” I said as someone shook my shoulders. I could hear Isabella scream as she was beaten to unconsciousness by Liam. I had tried to stop him but he had pushed me, making me fall on my back.“Ma- Annabella! Annabella, what happened? Baby, look at me,” Austin said as he brought me back from the haunting memories. When I looked at him, he looked relieved, concern etched in his eyes. He pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back soothingly.“It’s okay. Breathe in and out,” He said and I did as he said.I did not know what I would have to deal with when I planned to seduce him and make my way to my goal. I did not know this would get this serious, this is just hilarious. I
I was shocked. It would be an understatement. I did not think this could happen with just a small reply that I had given to Liam. I looked at Austin who was glaring as if what I had done was wrong. Well, it wasn’t wrong according to me and I did not know it could go this far. I hadn’t thought about this before answering him back.“-When asked Mr Jones regarding this matter he refused to accept that he had committed the crimes. He was also asked if he was the one who is in the pictures. He promptly declined, he said that it was someone framing him into this. Again when he was asked who he thought could blame him for such a hideous crime. He named only one person- Austin Volkov.”My eyes widened when the anchor named him, she then further continued.“He also showed us a short conversation between them through email, and here is the screenshot-” A screenshot appeared on the right side of the screen. ”He had asked
“Are you okay? What happened?” Austin came running into my room and looked around the room as if finding the cause of the noise, then his eyes settled on me and then looked down. “How did it happen?” He asked.“Yeah. I was just turning around then somehow the glass of water fell from the table,” I said as I motioned to the place where the glass of water was just a few minutes back then down at the floor. “Anyways, I will clean it. It won’t even take a few minutes. I’m sorry just a few more minutes then we can leave. For now can you please take my clutch and wait in the living room?” He nodded and then left after I handed him my clutch.I picked the big pieces of glass and threw them in the bag in my hands and just like that I cleaned the whole mess I created. After cleaning my room I stepped out of my room and walked towards the living room. Austin was furiously typing on his phone and when I cleared my throat
“What plan, Miss Smith?” I heard a very cold distanced voice speak from behind me. I froze in my place. This shouldn’t have happened!Right now, I was as frightened as a person with coulrophobia watching ‘IT’ for the first time. I would have won in Grandmother’s Footsteps if I was playing one. The mobile I was holding near my ears was taken; thankfully, Jade had hung up the moment someone made their presence clear behind me.I stayed the way I was fearing what he would do when he saw Jade’s name that I had saved as S.I.C- Second In Command- on the screen. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I did not notice Austin coming even closer to me than he was. I felt his breath near my ears then he spoke- asking me the question I hoped he didn’t ask, I would have concocted if I hadn’t known of his anger issues.“What plan were you talking about?” He asked, eyeing the phone. I gulped then turned around wi
Austin’s Point Of ViewI look at the screen and laugh at her, I love the smile on her face but sadly that smile is temporary. She is so innocent yet guile. She doesn’t know what she is doing, she is following the orders of Jade who she thinks is a part of the Romanos’. My poor Annabella.Does she think she can go against me without my knowledge? If she does then she is erroneous. I wish I did not have to do what I did but she did not leave me any choice. Before I was aware of her plan I had planned to abduct her and keep her with me until she accepts me and understands that she belongs to me, ONLY MINE. I am well aware of her not accepting me and our relationship but time will make her accept it and I WILL MAKE SURE OF IT!She is going to this extent to meet her sister. Bravo! She is travelling to the other side of the planet just to meet her sister, she doesn’t even know what she is getting herself into. She unknowingly has ente
“We would be landing in fifteen minutes so I would request you all to fasten the seat belts,” The flight attendant informs the passengers. I’m close to the ending, almost done. We will be meeting soon. I can’t wait!Yesterday, I visited the office in the early hours of the day and informed Austin about my leave. At first, I thought he would reject it and to my relief, he did not. Yes, he did ask why I was taking leave and I had to lie about my non-existent grandmother. He did look at me suspiciously but did not ask anything and granted me permission for the leave.I look at the other side of the window to a spectacular view of the sun rising. It looks like the sun and the plane isat on the same level. The plane gradually lowers, letting the heat of the sun in the plane. Ten hours of sitting in the same place is not an easy task. My back aches and I feel the urge to stretch myself.In a few minutes, the plane lands in the Novosibirsk Tolma
There stood three men with their guns pointing towards the car. I look at the driver with a bewildered look, he shrugs and says, “Seems like we have a few guests to take care of,” I just smirk taking out my pistol from its holster. My target practice won’t go to waste. I looked around for other people other than us on the road and thankfully we were on an isolated road with just two cars, one of them being the one I’m sitting in.I stepped out of the car even after I was stopped by the driver. I stood behind the door of the car which I used as a shield. All three of the men were huge and bulky- might be twice my size. The driver stood outside the car just like how I did. All three men wore black suits. I scoffed when I realized they all were standing in front of their cars. Over-confident I see!The first bullet was fired by either the driver or one of the three men but that doesn’t matter. A shower of bullets had begun after the first bul
“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
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
