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

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
Author's POV "I know!"Marona quickly said when he looked at her shocked and confused."I know that I am asking for a huge favour but I have no other option, Damon... I don't want to end up like other females in this house..."Damon sighed, he could see how scared she was. "But Marona, I am___""I know you have your life and I am asking for too much."She pleaded."But I promise you that I'll never interfere in your life. You do whatever you want to do. I know you have a different lifestyle and you don't believe in commitment. I will never ask for anything from you... If things went right then you can even divorce me, I won't mind. You won't even realise that I am in your life... But right now I need your protection."Tears escaped her eyes.He rubbed his face like he was in a dilemma. "Marona, it's not that... I just___"He couldn't understand how to break it up to her. He knows that Mikhail wants her and he can't help her in this. Marona's heart sank when she saw denial on his f
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.

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

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.
