Roman's point of view:"Chess?" I asked him in disbelief."Yes." He confirmed it.Chess?Is this guy joking or not?Is he joking with me right now after fully knowing that I am here for business purposes?"Why play games during business?" I asked him."I just feel like. That's my favorite game to play." He told me.So?What did this playful man become a don? The most powerful don in fact?"Can we play it after the meeting?" I asked him."Is that what you want?" He asked."Yes, please." "Fine. Back to business." He rested his back against the chair."Tell me something, Atono. If I help me, what will I gain in return?" He asked me."What do you want in return?" I asked him back."I want you to help me back in the future. After my business, you and Alexei are also strong and powerful, so if I need your help, will you help me in hand in hand with the Irish mafia?" He asked me."Yes, why won't I know you want to help my family and myself? But that is only if you help me out now and support
Roman's point of view:"Did I tell you I don't know how to play chess?" I asked him as his men placed the board on the table and they set the players in their respective positions."No, you didn't." He said as he dismissed his men after they finished setting up the game."Well, I think I forgot to tell you that I don't know how to play the game. I don't know how to play the game." I told him.He chuckled."Smartness, huh? No, I am not taking that." He said sternly."I am not playing, I just don't know how to play." I told him."So why didn't you tell me beforehand?" He asked me."I knew the meeting might be delayed or even canceled so I decided to tell you after the meeting." I explained to him."Wow! When you told me you should play the game after the meeting. I had two things in mind; first, that you don't know how to play it or you are just here strictly for the business. You can see that my instincts were right about you. Anyway, you will play it whether you like it or not." He sai
Roman's point of view:"Prick!" Irina said as she looked at Lucas. She ran towards him in annoyance.What?Did she want to attack him?I quickly stood up and caught her in time as I blocked her way to Lucas.Did she want to get us killed?"Roman, get out of my way." She said angrily. I hugged her as I put my hands on my waist. I lowered myself as I moved my mouth to her ear."Don't get us killed, please." I pleaded with her."What do you mean by that? The man drugged me." She said almost aloud."I know. I know. But keep your anger still we get out if here. We can solve that within ourselves." I whispered to her."What? Are you afraid of him?" She whispered back to me."Yes. Everyone is. Keep your calm, please." I begged her."Whatever!" She said as she freed herself from my trip forcefully.Irina and her anger!I sighed in relief. She walked up to the couch and had her seat."Are you okay now?" Lucas asked her."More than preachy." She said rudely to Lucas.I sat beside her."You alm
Roman's point of view:We got to the bush where we parked our helicopter successfully. We got down from the car.Axel got down from the car and walked towards us."Okay. We will leave you know. Have a nice trip home." He said sternly."Thank you so much for the accommodation. I hope to see you soon." With that, he turned back and entered the car as they drove off.I hope that man doesn't betray Lucas. His whole face screams of disloyalty.Before I knew it, I was crushed."What the?" I said as I tried to free myself from Dennis' right grip. The man just gave me a bone crushing hug."You are back." He yelled in excitement as he hugged me even tighter."You didn't die. You are alive." He said."Can you let go of me?" I asked him."Sure. But I need to feel you first?" He said as he held me even tighter."Am I Sarah?" I asked. I knew he was going to leave me if I utter her name and he did. He let go of me."I didn't mean it that way, idiot." He scoffed as he adjusted his dress."I just wan
Irina's point of view:"How could you kiss my sister like that?" Ruslan asked Roman in anger as he glared at him like he was going to kill him."What?" Roman and Dennis asked him simultaneously.I looked at him in disbelief."Why can't I kiss her like that?" Roman asked him.Everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer."Why would you kiss her like that? You were kidding her like you were hungry and you wanted to devour her eagerly. You were eating her alive like she was a prey and you were a predator." She said angrily."She is my wife." Roman said."They are married." Dennis reminded him."So, even if he wants to kiss her in public. He shouldn't kiss her like he wanted to eat her out, especially not in front of me." He said."It is a sign of love, Ruslan?" Dennis tried to make him understand.Love?"Live? You gotta be kidding me. It is lust, lust." He said as he came to grab my hand and pulled me up from Roman's lap as he literally dragged me with him to a seat and sat me down and
Irina's point of view:"You haven't gisted us about Lucas." Aurora said."Oh! Really? I faced hell at first before I enjoyed it." I informed them."What do you mean by that?" Sophia asked.We are currently sitting inside the living room, watching a movie after Roman and I showered together.Roman stepped out to attend some business leaving Sophia, Aurora and I in the room to have our girl's moment together."I was drugged at first because I told him he couldn't make me his but Roman saved me." "What does he look like?" Aurora asked."He is a young man. He looked scary at the same time, handsome. He looked like he was around his thirties. He is a man of superiority." I listed them."Wow! I love his vibe." Aurora said with adoration."Is he single?" She asked."Yes, currently. He is not a man to crush on. He killed all his wives." I told them."Why? He is a monster? Didn't he love them at all? He is a jerk!" Aurora expressed out of anger."He claimed that they have betrayed him in one
Irina's point of view:We kept mute. We didn't reply to him.He walked towards us and stood before us, blocking our view."I think I just asked guys a question." He said sternly."We are talking about a drama series." I was quick to reply to him."Whose wife cursed you?" He faced his younger sister."No one. You didn't even hear it well. We were talking about drama series like Irina said." Aurora's hands were already shaking."I heard everything, Aurora. I heard all what you guys said from a to z, do it is better if you tell me the truth." He told her calmly yet sternly."We were only gisting about the movie. We are not talking about anything else." She told him frustratingly."Who is the married man you are sleeping with?" He asked her."Roman, we aren't talking about such things, how would she be sleeping with a married man." I said."Irina, stay out of it." He warned me coldly like he wasn't the man that was cuddling me earlier."Answer me, Aurora." He yelled at her."What did you
Irina's point of view:When her sobs subsided, I took her hand and walked her to her room.I sat her on her bed."I think you need rest." I told her as I turned to leave."He is angry with me, right?" She asked out of the blue."Who?" I turned to her."Roman, he is ashamed of me, right?* She asked me again.I kept mute, knowing that my reply might hurt her."You know, he has always been like a father figure to me. My dad never really took up responsibilities over me. When Roman was already okay, he made sure he met up with my wants. He did everything for me and he made sure I never lacked anything but what did I give him in return? Shame!" She said."Aurora, you shouldn't think too much about it, I am sure he will forgive you if you guys talk it out when he comes back." I said to her,"Will he? Roman always finds it hard to forgive people that is why he always makes sure his close persons don't mess up with him." She said."He will. He is your brother and he cherishes you a lot. Do yo
I woke up and sat down immediately.I first thought I was in heaven,then I realized I would be in hell because of the crimes I committed when I was alive.Everywhere was whole.I adjusted my sight before I saw that someone was leaning against the wall."Water." I said.He passed me water and went back to his position.After I drank water, I rested my back against the bed."Who are you? Where am I?" I asked him, more like whispering."You are in the most secured hospital ever. I am an ex fbi agent. I work alone now. You just woke up from a coma." He explained."What do you want from me?" I asked him."I want you to fully recover and go kill your enemy.""Who?" I asked him."Aron Cavin. He killed you and he also has offended me. He is also somewhere trying to survive because he was shot by Roman Atono after he killed you. He took away my share and implicated me. He made me lose my job as a FBI. I have been on his tail but I realized I can't do it without your help. So I want you to work
Irina's point of view:"My brother is improving in his romantics." Loans whispered at me and I just ignored it.I stood up and went to the stage."How did you get it?" I asked him as I stared at the painting."I used currency." He replied with a smile."Roman." I wanted to talk but nothing came out but his name."Thank you so much. I forgot about the painting already." I hugged him so tight and he hugged me back.We let go of each other and I went to the mic.I breathed into the mic."I am sorry about that." I said to them."So I have nothing to say, he really surprised me tonight." I laughed."Yeah, we started on a rough patch but as time went on, we became best friends. My husband made me the strong woman I am today, you all should know that. He exposed me. Like he said, maybe I was naive at the beginning but he showed me that there is a different world aside from the world I was living in my parent's villa. Shit happened alright, a lot of shit happened to me and it made me stronger
Roman's point of view:I knocked on Irina's door.I knew it was too early for her but I just want to try my luck.She opened the door and poked her head out."Roman?" She said in disbelief."Yeah, it's me." I said in a low tone.I feel nervous. I feel like a teenager that wants to ask my crush out."What are you doing here early in the morning?" She asked."I came to see you.""Why?" She asked."I want to take you back home." I replied to her."Home?" She asked."Yes, home." I replied to her."I thought you didn't want anything between the two of us. You have been avoiding me, Roman."she said."I know. I am so sorry about that. I don't just know how I will go about it.""About what?" She asked in a low voice."I don't know how I will show my face to you knowing that my father caused the death of your brother." I said to her."You also lost your mom as a result of that. It is even." She replied to me. Loana said that!"I am sorry. I was too ashamed of showing my face before you. I am
Three months later:Irina’s point of view:“Change her diapers already.” My mom instructed me.“I will.” I told her. She said it like ten times already.Our children were being discharged two months ago from the hospital and we named them anya and aton.You must be wondering why we named them those names. Roman named our son after my father’s name because of the ultimate respect he has for him and I named our daughter anya so that roman’s mom won’t be forgotten.Anyway, Roman and I haven’t gotten back together. I feel like he has been avoiding me after he found out that his dad is behind the attack.He only comes here when he wants to see the babies and we talk casually. We haven’t been able to talk about ourselves since the incident. He never gave room for that and I didn’t mind it because I also wanted to stay with my parents. I am the only one they have now.So I have to stay with them.Someone knocked on the door."Enter." My mom said to the person. The person I texted and it was .
Irina’s point of view:“I am sorry we lost her.” The doctor informed us after coming out from the emergency room.Roman fell on the ground and as he sat up and held his head so tight to his chest.He kept gasping.He opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out.I rushed to his side and hugged him.His body started shaking.He rested his head on my chest and he started crying.He kept sobbing like a baby.I just hugged him. I couldn’t do anything more than that. I couldn’t console him, nor relieve his pain because I am also battling with my own sorrows.He sobbed but not for a long period of time.I let him go when I realized he wanted to stand up.He stood up and sat on the chair.I sat beside him.He took his phone out as he picked up the call with shaky hands.His eyes were already red.He put the call on the loudspeaker.“Roman, what’s wrong? Why did they all rush home?” That is Mario’s voice.“We were attacked.” He sniffed, trying his hardest not to cry.“Why are you crying?” Ma
Irina’s point of view:The gunshots, screams and curses made me panic so much. Who the fuck know about this vacation?Who the fuck attacked us?I went out of the room; I met roman at the door step. He handed me a gun.“We have been attacked with a lot of men so you should hold this for protection. I am going down now.” He informed me.“Just be safe.” I told him.“I will.” He replied.And with that, he went downstairs.I went back to the room and locked myself in it.But I don’t feel like staying here.I want to help them out. I don’t want to be useless after all.I have a gun with me and it contains bullet. At least I can kill five to six men with it if I am being on target.I should go and help them out.I stood up and went to the door.Then I remembered roman instructed me not to go out of the room.“It doesn’t matter. I am doing this to help him.” I said to myself.I opened the door and went out of the room. I carefully and slowly walked to the staircase. I met loana.“You should h
Irina’s point of view:I heard noises from outside of the room, so I had to go to where the noise is coming from.It was my mom and aunty Kira.“What’s going on here?” I asked loana who was standing at the corner side silently.“Aunty Kira provoked your mom, so she is serving her hot.” She replied as she was focused on the fight.I can’t believe my mom is fighting after we talked this over.“What the fuck is wrong with her? I think we had this already.” I went forward to calm my mom but what she did next shocked me. She splashed the water from the glass on aunty kira.“You know what, I am done here. Anton, let’s go home.” She said as she made her way out of the house.“Mom!” I yelled as I followed her out of the house.She didn’t listen. She went out of the log house angrily to the car.“Mom!” I called her when we got to the car they brought here.“What Irina? What did you want to say? That I disappointed you? I am so sorry but I had to do that. She made me do that. She made me so an
Irina's point of view:Roman was in the bathroom, taking his bath and he told me to pick a cloth for him to wear today.I checked his bag and just took out random clothes and placed it on the bed.It is going to be casual after all. It is not like we are going out.I placed the outfit on the bed and went back to the bag to take his underwear.After that, I almost closed the bag, then I saw unusual things there.Weapons!I thought they made it clear that no one should bring weapons here.It is just a family vacation.He came out of the bathroom just in the.I took out the guns and showed him."I thought they said no weapon, Roman." I said."I can't do without carrying them around, Irina." He dried himself.Where is my brief?' He asked me. dropped the gun inside the bag and threw him his brief.He took away the towel as he wore his briefs and dressed up."At least, you should have stopped them at home." I said to him."Still on that?" He asked me."Yes, their rule is to enjoy life lik
Irina's point of view:"We are back. We brought our squirrel." Loana yelled as she literally ran to the house from the other direction.We were also walking to the house from our direction but in embarrassment.We all got to the house and I sat on the bench due to the fact that I was tired."We got to the house before you." Loana stuck her tongue out at us."Where is your squirrel?" She asked us as she didn't see one with us."Where is yours?" Sophia asked her."It is with Ruslan. Ruslan, show them." She instructed her husband.Ruslan showed us the dead squirrel as he held it up."Of course, they caught one, but we were not able to catch any." Sophia scoffed."You were not able to catch one?" Loana asked in surprise then her lip curved into a smile as stared at our hands.She bursted into laughter"We won." She said to her remaining members."Where is my mom and Lev?" She asked as she looked around."They are coming." I answered herAnd they showed up.Anya and Lev arrived at the hou
