Marona's POV
After that day, I never saw Mikhail again. I focused on my studies and Laurence but he never stopped haunting my dreams. His warning was already giving me nightmares. It felt like his eyes never left me, I was feeling him watching me all the time.
It won't be wrong if I say that Mikhail had occupied my mind more than Laurence. I was terrified to see him again and was praying every day that I won't meet the murderer ever. It made me so relieved after knowing that he wasn't going to attend our wedding.
Shaking my thoughts aside, I freshened up. Laurence came late that night, I was waiting for him because I was feeling alone. I always want him to hold me closer but he is never around. He is always busy at work. I miss him but I don't want to be clingy so I never complain to him.
I know, once he solves his business problems then he will give me the time I deserve. I'll wait for the day when he won't let me go out of his sight like a good husband should do.
He came back and went to freshen up without saying anything. I also changed into my silk night gown and sat on the bed.
"How are you feeling now?"
He asked as he came back.
"Better."
I replied as my eyes roamed on him. Laurence is tall and has a good physique. He might not be the most handsome Delgado but he is the one for me.
He just nodded and sat beside me.
"Don't take so much stress, you are fine here."
I nodded and hugged him, trying to seek comfort from him. My hands travelled on his chest, trying to allure him in the same feeling which I am feeling.
He groaned when I kissed his neck.
"Marona, I am tired"
"Please"
I sighed disappointed.
"I need it! You are always busy."
He released a sigh and responded to my approach, I tilted my head when he pampered my neck with kisses.
He removed my shrug leaving me in a strapless short silk gown and I am not wearing anything underneath.
Laurence laid me back on the bed and hovered over me, his eyes didn't hold any emotions. He just looked like a man who was completing his task.
I frowned, what's wrong with him?
He kissed my neck again and I tried to feel the same old emotions but it wasn't turning me on. I felt the urge to stop him because it felt like forced but I didn't, thinking that he would feel bad. Maybe I shouldn't have forced him, he doesn't look interested.
Suddenly his phone rang and he huffed.
"Laure___"
I sighed when he grabbed the phone and answered it in the middle of our time.
"Yeah, father... No, I am not doing anything important..."
He answered while getting up from my body and grabbing his shirt.
"I'll come!"
I sat up and looked at him confused when he started leaving.
"Sorry, I'll be back in no time."
He looked at me and walked out.
I rubbed my face frustrated and got up while grabbing my shrug, groaning in annoyance I tossed it away.
Why does Laurence look different nowadays? He doesn't give any attention to me. He didn't even ask what happened to me today and why I fainted. My whole life I ran behind the thing 'Love', when I met Laurence, it felt like I finally found it but did I? Sometimes it feels like my hunt is not over yet.
I shook my head, what am I thinking? Laurence is my husband and he loves me.
I stood by the window and looked out at the moonlight, the cool breeze fanned my face as I hugged myself.
The night gown I am wearing is just filthy material which is hiding nothing, as wind touched me it showed the exact replica of my naked body which is covered in thin material.
This was my foolish attempt to seduce Laurence and now I feel dumb.
Maybe I am thinking too much, he is just stressed and focused on upcoming events. I should give him time.
Suddenly the lights switched off, I looked out and saw that it was a blackout. It wasn't completely dark, the faint moonlight was there.
I was about to turn around to go to bed when something hard touched my back. Strong arms slowly and gently wrapped around my waist. So manly and possessive.
My lips turned into a soft smile as my hope came back.
"So you finally found your way back?"
I chuckled softly.
His hands wrapped around me like chains to bind me to his body, like he was as desperate as me. My back of head automatically rested on his broad chest as his hands travelled through the valley of my curves like it's made for him.
His face travelled from my shoulder to neck like he is breathing me in like his favourite drugs.
Fuck, I needed this so much. This warm touch and hold is all I want after staying lonely in soul shattering silence.
My hand travelled back to his neck as I tried to pull him closer desperately. His arms pulled on my waist and our bodies desperately tried to feel each other.
He is smelling so good, I want to get lost in him.
I loosened myself completely, letting myself fall on him.
"I want to feel you..."
I rarely sound so slutty.
"Make me breathless, make me forget everything... Please!"
I never felt so desperate, maybe his lack of attention towards me nowadays is taking a toll on me.
I was about to turn around but his strong hands stopped me and I felt him wrapping his handkerchief around my eyes.
I let out a small chuckle.
"What has happened to you?"
He was never kinky.
I gasped when he possessively pulled me back by waist like my voice ignited something in him.
His wet lips touched and travelled on my shoulder and the strap dangled on my arm under his soft abuses.
A loud gasp escaped my mouth when he groped my heavy breast in his hands and played with it while sucking on my neck.
"Fuck!"
I tried to hold on to him but he was behind me.
I turned around and tried to touch him but he slammed me against the half window.
His large hand grabbed my jaw as he pulled it closer and I could feel him stopping near my lips. His whisky breathing fanned my face.
His thumb gently caressed my cleavage, the dress hardly covers my nipples. His warm thumb filled my body with goosebumps and hand gently caressed my blossom like he was admiring it.
His touch gently started fading from my body.
"Don't stop, please!"
I pulled him closer by the neck and gave him my lips to dominate, I placed my lips on his to taste and he did. Damn, I never felt so good in kissing. His tongue dominated mine like he knows how to tame it.
My hands got lost in his hair as I did futile attempts to pull him closer. It was a competition, like we both didn't want to let go of our lips. But I lost, I pulled back to catch my breath but I couldn't stop myself from touching and feeling his neck with my lips. He smells so good.
I am sure that my ragged breathing must have shown him how desperate I am to feel him. My lips parted slightly like I am begging him silently to not make me wait.
I tried to remove my blindfold but at the same time I felt him stepping back from me.
"No!"
I quickly circled my hands around his neck and pulled him closer, I sucked on his neck desperately while touching my lower body to his.
I heard him groan as he turned me around, taking our old position. My back rested on his chest again and he grabbed my breasts to make me moan in pleasure.
His hand slowly travelled towards my womanhood and I hid my face in his neck to inhale him.
When his hand travelled under my short dress, he chuckled in my ears like he was teasing me for not wearing anything underneath.
My face filled with blush.
I bit on lips and shifted in my place when his fingers parted my lower lips and buried in my wetness. I heard him taking a deep breath when he felt it between his fingers. I was never turned on by his mere deep breath, why did it sound so sexy?
My hands clutched on his collar when he started circling my clit. I gasped loudly when he inserted his fingers inside me and made me clench around him.
He feels so good tonight. Like a good first time.
My body moved against him like a snake as he drove me crazy with his fingers.
My mouth was dropped open, gasping and moaning. He placed the thumb of his free hand in my mouth and I wrapped my lips around it to suck it like a slut I am acting right now.
I literally got on my toes when he made me orgasm with an earth shattering feeling. I have never felt this before, why did it come out so strong tonight? Why is it feeling so good?
I struggled to catch my breath while resting my head on his chest. Shit, I am breathing like I have ran a marathon.
He let me rest on him until I came down.
I turned around and smiled while pecking his lips.
"It's already dark, what's the use of blindfolding me?"
He didn't say anything, just fixed the strap of my dress and stepped back from me.
"I need to use the washroom, don't go anywhere"
I turned around while removing my blindfold and went to the washroom.
My legs literally wobbled as I walked, he was really on something tonight. I chuckled to myself but he felt like an old Laurence so I am not complaining.
This is the Laurence I crave for everyday, why can't he be passionate like this every time we are together. Tonight there was different possessiveness in his touch like he is trying to win me, telling me how good he can make me feel.
I blushed at the feeling.
I don't think I'll be able to do anything now, my body is cold. I am done for tonight.
He found a mindful way to satisfy me without using his energy, he said he was tired.
I yawned lazily as tiredness started taking over.
Suddenly the lights switched on and I sighed in relief, finally it's bright but I don't mind blackout if it's going to be sizzling like this.
I chuckled at my naughty thoughts and came out of the washroom. Laurence was missing from the room, did he go out again?
He entered the room just after a few seconds when I was thinking about him and I stopped by the bed.
He looked up at me and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, Father wanted to discuss something important... Sorry, I left you like that."
I frowned.
"You didn't come after you left?"
He looked at me confused.
"I just entered in front of you, what are you talking about?"
My head snapped towards the window in horror.
If Laurence was out then who was with me?
My legs gave up as I sat on the bed shocked. God! What did I do?
"What happened?"
He asked as he sat beside me.
"I know you must be mad at me... Come here!"
He pulled me under him and tried to kiss my neck. It didn't feel like before. Shit, who was he and how can I not recognise my husband's touch?
Should I tell Laurence, what if he gets angry and doubts my character? Not only him but everyone in the family will do that.
No one will understand me.
I can't tell this to anyone. No one will understand what happened to me.
How can I be in so much heat that I got lost to this extent?
Laurence's teeth roughly pulled my skin and I hissed in pain.
He looked at me with a frown.
"Do you really want it?"
How should I tell him that my body has already turned cold and I am not ready for it again.
"I am no longer in the mood, sorry!"
"It's okay! I was tired anyway... Good night!"
He slid down beside me and I tried to hold on to him to calm my ramming heart but he turned to his side showing me his back.
I need his hold now, but I shouldn't blame him. He is tired and needs rest. I don't want to come out as clingy.
I hugged the pillow and within seconds I fell asleep with the tiredness which the man behind the blindfold gave me.
When I woke up in the morning, the first thought crossed my mind was about last night.
I have to find out and confront the man who was in my room last night. How dare he touch me when he knows that I am someone else's wife? I didn't know but he was aware of the reality.
I am not going to leave him now.
Laurence was already ready for the day when he came out of the closet and frowned when he saw a handkerchief laying by the window.
My eyes widened. This is the same thing which he wrapped around my eyes.
Laurence grabbed it and frowned.
"What is Mikhail's handkerchief doing here?"
He asked confused and ground beneath my feet slipped away with his words.
"Mikhail?"
I mumbled in shock while trying to grab on something to take the support but there was nothing. I sat on the bed as my heart rammed in my chest.
"Yeah, his handkerchiefs has M written on it... It's his handkerchief not mine... Maid must have messed the laundry clothes, return it."
He tossed it towards me and walked out.
The cloth landed on my face and I inhaled the same smell.
How can he be Mikhail? Mikhail doesn't smell like this then how did he smelled different last night? Why would he pleasure me? Why would he act as desperate as me? Why would he act like he was admiring me?
I clasped my mouth in horror. If he was Mikhail then I begged and pulled him into it. He touched me!
Why did he do that and how should I face him now?
Marona's POVMy restlessness was growing with each passing second thinking if I should tell Laurence about it or not. If I tell him then it will be a big scene and if I don't tell him then the guilt will eat me from inside. What if he misunderstands me? What if he doesn't trust me that I genuinely didn't know that it was not him? How do I tell him that I couldn't recognise his touch?I followed him downstairs for breakfast where everyone was present except Mikhail, God! only his name can make me shiver. I felt hair on my body perking up when I thought about him."Laurence, I need to tell you something."I tried to stop him before we could sit down. I have to tell him because what if Mikhail does something else next time? I might fuel his behavior by hiding it. I know Laurence will be mad at me but I am also sure that he will understand me, I am hopeful. If not then I am ready to take whatever punishment he has for me.He looked at me while answering his phone which never stops ringing
Author's POVMarona looked at Rafael nervously when he said that. "I have a session in a few minutes"She mumbled, completely avoiding eye contact with Mikhail. "You will finish it in seconds, I am sure of it"Rafael knew that she is trying to escape. Lovina forced her to sit down and Marona could feel anxiety rolling in her body. She shifted uncomfortably in her place and looked down at the chessboard silently. She thought she would confront the man who touched her but it turned out to be Mikhail, against whom she can't even stand. She tried to forget how well she felt under his touch which shouldn't have happened. She is supposed to hate this man with everything she has. It was hard for her to believe that it was really him because the man she met in the warehouse and the man she encountered last night were in contrast. Last night was soft and passionate and the warehouse day was horrified and cruel. She can still feel his hands on her body and it was eating her in guilt. The ho
Author's POV "Laurence!"Marona called him and tried to stop him before he could leave.They were in the hallway, she grabbed his hand and pulled him in the corner. Laurence removed her hand from his and fixed his jacket."What's wrong?... Marona, I am getting late."Marona looked at him restlessly, she was dying in guilt."Laurence, listen to me first and then go... Last night when you left, someone came into our room. It was dark so I couldn't see his face, I thought it was you and I had intimate moments with that man."She confessed in one go."I swear, I wasn't aware... I thought it was you. He felt just like you, it was a familiar touch and that's why I didn't realise... You remember our first time, it felt just like that... I don't know what happened"Laurence clenched his jaw and she gulped but he took a deep breath while trying to stay calm. "It's okay! Mistakes happen."He patted her cheek with a smile. She frowned at him. "You are not mad?""Why would I be?"He chuckled
Author's POVLater that night, Laurence messaged Mikhail and called him in the club when he found out that he had saved Marona.When Mikhail entered the VIP area, he saw Laurence fucking some stripper on the couch. Mikhail sat by the bar counter and waited for him to finish his business while looking at him disgusted. The other stripper tried to approach him but he dismissed her. Since he has been with Marona, it has become difficult to imagine any other girl and he has been struggling with this feeling for years now. When Laurence was done, he pushed away the girl from him and sat beside him while fixing his clothes. Mikhail shifted a bit away from him, feeling disgusted. He hates Laurence more than he hates his father and he has earned his wrath too. Mikhail is not someone who acts in rage, he keeps his calm and then does things. Impulsive decisions are not in his nature. Laurence is his elder but he has never acted like one, he was always selfish, arrogant and greedy for the thr
Marona's POVHow can this happen to me? How? I stood in front of the mirror like a soul-less body as I stared into the hollowness of my life. The black color is mocking me, telling me that no matter how much I run behind love, it's not in my destiny to find it. Not in any form. I have just come back from the funeral of Laurence. His face wasn't even recognisable after whatever happened to him. I wish, he could have listened to me and just give up on his dark life. We would have lived in our happy home together, would have cooked dinner together, would have enjoyed the coffee on autumn day in our beautiful lawn. Was it a bad life? Tears escaped my eyes when I remembered the first night when he left his mark on me. How he caressed and worshipped me in the darkness. How his strong and possessive arms held me in his hold as I sweated his devotion.It was a fun night arranged by our seniors. We were playing games and I was really curious to explore the freedom I had given to myself.
Mikhail's POVLove? I chuckled to myself. I have never encountered this thing and if I haven't experienced it then it's not in existence. Love doesn't exist for me, it's a myth. People have named their selfish desires love. I am not a man of love, my life holds darkness. I can't be the prince on white horse. I am darkness with black cloak of my evilness. Since childhood I have seen only violence and blood, now everything is tainted and I am covered in mud of this evilness. There is no chance for any lotus of love to bloom. I am cursed with evilness, the way my mind works is evidence of that. There is nothing good in me. I like when people fear me, I like when I hear screams, I like when I turn my enemies into dust. That's me! How can I be a good person when Leonardo's dirty blood is running in my veins. Of course I have his evilness in me. The scream died down when I finally ended the misery of the men who tried to kill Marona. I must say that I was impressed when I saw how she t
Marona's POV "She is a Delgado now and can't be free from the responsibility... We can't leave her in a cruel world to die."He smirked and I sensed his fucked up intentions. "Don't worry, Marona... I'll give you the shelter. I am going to marry you..."My soul almost knocked out of my body when Leonardo said that. What the hell is he even talking about, I am his daughter in law. How can he look at me with different eyes, he should be ashamed of himself. From whom he wants to protect me, it's him who is a monster and I need to be saved from him. I thought they would force Rafael on me but here he is planning to trap me in his sick desires. Disgust crawled in my body when I looked at his face. I looked around with my glossy eyes for help but no one dared to oppose him. All are sick bastards, no one wants to stand for me. I looked at Rafael and he was looking at me blankly like it's none of his business. I turned helplessly towards Damon but he was just looking at me helplessly l
Author's POV Mikhail was burning in hate for his father. Whenever he thinks that the man can't step lower than anything then he creates new limits. He was going to give him a painful death for sure, will make him cry and scream before he dies. He will see his world ending before he takes his last breath. "Mikhail, I saw Leonardo heading toward Marona's room just now"Jeh came inside his room hurriedly and informed him. Mikhail's eyes snapped towards him angrily."I am going to kill him right now... Enough is enough!"He gritted and was about to storm out of the room. Jeh grabbed him and stopped."Mikhail, don't lose your control... You are not like this, you always think before doing anything then what's happening today...""Marona, Jeh..."Mikhail punched the wall madly."I let her go so she can live peacefully without my darkness hovering over her... She was supposed to be happy and now look at her. I can't let Leonardo touch her.""Mikhail!"Jeh tried to calm him down."We are
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
