Mikhail's POV "Mr. Delgado, I know there are many misunderstandings between us but we are a family now..."Charlie tried to do the buttering. After knowing my name that night, he knows that he has fucked up really bad. I don't understand this, Marona is so smart and her parents are not even intelligent enough to know the name of the person who they are talking too. Maybe not everything is about genes."Do you really want to become my family? I have killed my own brother and father."I casually grabbed the coffee mug from the table. He visibly gulped. "No, I didn't mean that... I have a request."He wiped his sweaty forehead. "If you can reconsider the loan interest.""Do you want me to double it again?"I am loving this, it's fun to scare people verbally. "No!"His eyes widened. "Please, I'll be forced to hang myself... All my hard work will be in vain.""Talk to your daughter, if she agrees then I might reconsider."Good luck talking to my wife. She gets too wild when she is a
Mikhail's POV "Are you seeing her again?"Marona asked me while placing her gentle hand on my shoulder. I shook my head to avoid Devi."Yes! Is it going to happen frequently?"I rubbed my face frustrated. "Yes, Mikhail! When you tell me about them then you will feel the emotions which are related to them which will result in illusions but that's okay. It's a part of the process!"She explained while making me sit at the garden breakfast table. Devi disappeared when I started talking to Marona. "She is gone!"Marona nodded and sat in front of me. "It's because your mind is now focused on me and not the emotions you felt when you recalled Devi... We can continue now!"I started telling her our first meeting again. It was the day where everything started twisting in chaotic knots. Flashback... I tried to climb the wall to see the person who was making the sounds on the other side. If some other small kid would have been there then he would have ran away with fear but being a Mikh
Mikhail's POV It's been two months and I have been trying to find Devi but she is nowhere. It's like she has vanished from existence. I tried so hard but there is no clue about her. Did she even existed or it was also my illusion? I am beyond confused. It's difficult to focus on both work and finding Devi because our empire is taking new shape in Rafael's reign and he needs me. I have hired private detectives for Devi but no results yet, I don't think I can blame them because how can I expect them to find her out just with her name. I can use my mafia fear to pressurise them but I don't feel like doing it. "Wife, if you need help then just ask for it!"I turned around with oils in my hand and looked at my chubby bear struggling to take off her clothes. She has gained pregnancy weight and is looking damn cute with bouncy cheeks. Her belly is also showing as it's five months now. "If you know that I am struggling then why are you standing there?"She complained while huffing ann
Author's POV The girl looked at Mikhail like she was seeing a handsome man like him for the first time. "Pardon?"Mikhail frowned at the girl's flirty gaze."I want to meet Devi!"He ordered. "I don't know who that is but will Jenelia work? I am Jenelia."She slurred and he realised that she is high. "Is there someone else in the house?"He looked at her mad. He was there for something important and dealing with a wasted girl was the last on his list. "Jenelia, what the hell are you doing?"He heard a man's voice from behind. "Are you wasted again? For fuck sake, get a grip on yourself."He pulled her away from the door. Mikhail entered the house madly and looked around, it was looking like a store room and not Devis's house. He was not going to leave without his answers. "Excuse me, why are you in my house?"The man came and frowned when he noticed that Mikhail has entered inside without permission. Mikhail pulled out his gun and unlocked it. "Sit down!"He ordered. The ma
Author's POV "Yes, Devi!"Mikhail looked at her sad face. "How do you know her?"She asked suspiciously. "We met in childhood but she disappeared suddenly and I have been looking for her since then. I found your address after so many difficulties. I just want to meet her once and then I'll leave."He tried to make her comfortable because she looked scared. "Gentleman, you can't meet Devi because she is no more!"She replied and Mikhail's world shook for a moment. "What?"He scowled in disbelief. She sighed tiredly."Come inside!" Mikhail followed her as she sat on the couch tiredly. "Are you okay, Ma'am?"He asked as she looked beyond exhausted. She smiled bitterly. "You can call me Anjana... Sit!"She offered him and he took a seat. "It felt so good to hear about Devi after so many years. Tell me more about her... It feels good."Mikhail was still processing the shock. "I don't have much to tell... It's just that we used to talk when we were young but when I came back one
Author's POV "One more set."Mikhail ordered while drinking his coffee. Marona whined while throwing the ball on the ground. "I am tired..."She complained. He was making her exercise in the garden and she has never had a strict trainer like him. "You just did one set... We have a whole exercise to finish... Come on!"He ordered. She shook her head."No!"He placed his coffee mug down and was about to get up but Marona stopped him."No, No, No... I am doing it... I am doing it!"She laughed nervously, knowing if he started making her do it then she will be doomed. He doesn't compromise when it comes to her health.Mikhail smirked while leaning against his chair and grabbed his coffee again. She scowled and started exercising again. "You are evil!""Thank you!"Mikhail chuckled. "And monster!"She whined. "I know! And?"He was enjoying it while sipping his coffee. "And Hitler!"She groaned. "You should use actual bad words for him... These are compliments."Damon chuckled as
Author's POV Marona grabbed Mikhail's attention."Mikhail! Relax, what's happening?"He looked bothered."She is furious. She is not liking that I am telling you about our time."Marona sighed. "Mikhail, you know that the things which Mallika is saying are actually in your mind... It's you who is saying this to yourself... Mallika isn't upset about this, it's your mind which is thinking that.""But why?"He couldn't understand why it was happening. "I'll ask some questions... You have to answer it honestly."She saw how bothered he looked. "Forget that I am your wife, right now I am just your Doctor... You have to be honest, Mikhail!"He hesitated but nodded."Okay!""How was her nature?"She asked. "A little aggressive, she used to get irritated easily, if anything happens against her will then she used to curse and bitch about it, in short she was annoyed and frustrated teenager."He explained."Like most of the teenagers are"She agreed."Do you think, you two had a little spa
Author's POV Marona looked at Mikhail as he tried to keep himself busy in work. He is trying to avoid Mallika's conversation with her. They tried to talk about it but Mikhail was getting aggresive illusions of Mallika and it was disturbing his mental health so she didn't pressurise him much. His mental health is her first priority but the time was flying. It was her due date in a few days and she wanted to get rid of illusions before she brings her babies into the world."It's time for your medicines... Let's go!"He closed his files and helped her to stand. She had her medicines and looked at him."Mikhail, I know it's very difficult for you but I wanted to get rid of illusions before our babies come."Mikhail nodded while tucking her under bedsheets."You are right... I have to stop this craziness before that but your due date is near. I can't leave you alone.""You already know the location, you just have to go there and talk to her... You will be back in one day!"She insisted
Marona's POVThese dusty walls hold so many memories. No matter how many years pass or how much I try to forget, this house will always remind me of the laughter I shared with my mother. But with laughs this house holds painful memories also. It's been a couple of years, time is flying and the house is no longer strong to stand. So I thought why not turn it into something beautiful and useful. I shared my thoughts with Mikhail and he agreed, we decided to turn this house into a clinic. Mikhail has hired a team which will give free health consultation to whoever needs it. It's just a small attempt to rescue people from psychological problems. I hope it gets success. We are trying to clear up the place as it will get scrapped soon but I don't want my valuable things to get lost if there are any.Ivan had discarded all things, his shadows didn't just roam in the house but he destroyed my mother's memories also. How can he hold so much hate in his heart that he ruined her belongings ev
Author's POV Mikhail admired his wife's peaceful face, she was sleeping peacefully. "Will you stop staring at me like that?"She blushed without opening her eyes. "Like what?"He teased her nose tip. "I am just admiring my wife..."She opened her eyes and yawned lazily. "What's there to admire about me? I look disgusting when I wake up."He scoffed."You are the most beautiful when you wake up."She raised her eyebrows."These messy hair."She fixed her hair while sitting up."These puffy eyes, oily face and drool marks... From which angle do I look beautiful."He smiled. "Believe it or not, I love you more like this instead of makeup... You are a natural beauty."She blushed and lazily threw herself at him. He gathered her in his arms and kissed her cheek. "Are we ready for today?... It's been a year, and our babies are growing fast.""They are!"He played with her hair. "Everything is prepared and everyone is excited... Especially my sisters. They are making some rubbish rul
Author's POV Marona was enjoying Ivan's state. "Don't keep the suspense, Amore... I want to enjoy this too!"Mikhail complained. She chuckled."I am his doctor... I just gave him medicine"She batted her eyelashes innocently. He shook his head in disbelief. "Where did you get the drug? It's not possible to find it easily in the market and I would have found out because I look after movements of those."She smiled naughtily."Guess who gave me that."He closed his eyes and rubbed his face."Rafael!... Why is he dancing on your fingers?... I definitely missed something.""I am not forgetting anything"Ivan was looking around lost. Jeh entered with his men and Marona handed him babies. She needed to be free to punish her culprit. "Relax, Ivan!"She grabbed his attention. "Confused about whatever is happening to you?"He looked at her confused. "What did you do to me? Why is everything blurry? Who are you? What are you doing?"He fell on the ground. She gave him a fake pity loo
Author's POV Rotero stopped and turned towards her. His eyes were also filled with pain. Marona wiped her tears and threw herself in his embrace. "I know!"She sobbed when Rotero didn't hug her back."I know you have restrictions and rules but you have given me this new life. You might have abandoned me but your values and teachings are always with me. They always guide me... Thank you for this new life. I'll always be grateful... I know, today you can't accept me but I have a hope that one day you will do... I'll wait for the day."Rotero's eyes were also in tears. "I never abandoned you, Miguel... I was just protecting you. The tribe wasn't your home. You are right, I have restrictions. I live in a community which is strong in its morals and I can't break the rules. If your mother wouldn't have broken the rules then you wouldn't have to suffer so much..."He caressed her head and wiped her tears."You can't enter the tribe but I can come out and one day I might come to visit you
Author's POV Marona was sitting with Aurora and Mira. Andres was playing in Aurora's lap and Sabrina in Marona's lap. "Andres is so calm, unlike this naughty boy... Dimitri is a trouble, god!"Mira looked at her baby boy. "Yeah! he is always squealing and making noises..."Aurora chuckled. "I can't wait for mine to come out... The due is in a few days.""It's a boy, right? What are you naming him?"Mira asked excitedly. "I am still thinking about it."She grinned. "Ask your husband to help..."Marona chuckled."By the way, it was a good decision to do surrogacy... So thoughtful of Rafael to not risk your health.""Yeah but imagine if it's a boy and he becomes like Rafael."Mira suggested and everyone's eyes widened. "Stop saying that!"Aurora scolded her. "He will be like me!"Marona gave her a playful mocking look. "Are you sure? Then I think he better be like Rafael."Aurora sulked and scratched her head awkwardly."Yeah, I guess you are right!"Sabrina mumbled something an
Author's POV"Why are you scared now?... It doesn't matter if he knows or not. Now you have me. He can't do fuck."Mikhail assured her. She sighed but nodded. "You are right. I have you now. I don't need to fear anyone."She wrapped her arms around him and he pecked her lips. "Don't take stress now... Everything is fine.""So are you guys done grabbing your throats?"Jeh was sitting in the car with Sabrina and waved at them. "She is crying, please help me."Mikhail and Marona burst out laughing when he complained. She ran towards them and took her from him. Mikhail rolled his eyes and took the baby from Marona. "You ran like she stopped crying in your arms"He mocked. Marona gasped and slapped him arms. "That was mean!"He chuckled and looked at Sabrina. "Is Daddy mean? If yes then become like me."He teased her and she giggled in her cute baby voice. "You two are going to bully people together. I can sense that."She rolled her eyes and sat inside the car. Mikhail sat besi
Marona's POV Another escape wasn't easy but I had to, so Mikhail could follow me. I wanted to take him to where he met Devi, I thought his visit might spark a curiosity to find her but he didn't do anything. But I noticed that he does miss them, I saw him sitting by the same wall to wait for Devi. He must have thought that she would come. I know it was stupid but I felt jealous. Even if Devi, Mallika and Marona were the same, he belonged to Marona and not Devi for whom he was waiting there. At the same time, his Grandma told me about Miguel and his friendship and at that time I recalled that Mikhail was my friend. Our memories came back flashing on me and I regretted it so much that I forgot to write about him and our childhood.I was angry at Mikhail but as soon as I remembered about our childhood my heart softened. There was a reason why he was running away from all of them and I no longer had the heart to punish him for anything. How can I hurt my one and only friend who is no
Marona's POV That night I was drunk but remembered his touch, but it became more special when I saw his note. It had his name. Leo! I was blooming with happiness because taking admission in Delgado's campus was one of the reasons to get closer to the search of Leo. The guard outside told me that he had seen only Laurence around this area, only he came there. I hurriedly got ready and went out in search of him. I asked everyone and found out that there are three Delgado brothers on campus. Rafael, Mikhail and Laurence. I did more research and found out that there are more brothers but I had written down only these three names so Leo must be one of them. I did projects with Rafael and was sure that he can never be Leo because that guy was completely different. Then I noticed Laurence, he had a positive aura. Taking part in social activities and socializing. He was a nice guy and I felt those Leo's vibes in him because Leo once told me that he will never hurt anyone like he was hurt
Marona's POV Mulan is my current grandma. When Rotero told me that she is strong and unlike my mother, I thought she must be a powerful lady with money and wealth. When I knocked on her door, she wasn't home. Her house help told me that she is in the graveyard. Fortunately or unfortunately it was the same graveyard we are sitting at. She was here to Visit Marona's grave. And I was shocked when I saw that she is blind. I observed her from afar, waited for ours until she was done talking to her granddaughter's grave. She got up from her place and turned her head towards my direction. "Why are you watching me like that, girl?"She asked with a frown. I was shocked. She was blind then how could she know that I was watching her and that I am a girl?I slowly walked towards her and waved my hand in front of to check if she was really blind or not.She caught my hand in midair making my mouth go wide. "How did you know that I am here? You are blind!"I asked shocked. She smirked. "B
