Alessio:
“That’s my beauty” I said encouraging Alexandra who smiled. She clapped her hands in satisfaction and Kiara kissed her temple proudly.
“That’s our big girl” Kiara said smiling. Alexandra jumped off the couch excitedly. She fixed up her things and kissed my cheek then her mom’s “go shower, princess, then head down to dinner”
“Would you be joining us, mum?” Alexandra asked. Kiara looked at me and I smiled nodding at her. The respect she had for me to at least ask for something like this made me smile, it was a silent agreement between the two of us. The respect for one another was mutual, but the fact that she taught our kids not to cross their father by showing them that she herself trusted him before even they did was something that I appreciated a lot.
“Yes, printsessa, mom will be joining us at dinner tonight. But you won’t be tiring her; she’s still very weak&r
Kiara:I paced around the bedroom as I thought of what I just heard.The fact that I knew that it was mum who was behind this worried me more than I could describe, and the fact that I knew who they might be after scared the life out of me. If the woman called Alessio, and not only that, came all the way here seeking for help. It means that she was in danger, and knowing my husband, the man was only helping her out with Allessio’s sake because it was his war too. He couldn’t care less about her safety as a person, and I knew his reasons for that.I picked up the phone, using the safe line as to ensure that no one could track the call. The danger that we were all in was unknown, and I would rather not risk any of us getting caught in situations that we wouldn’t be able to handle.I took a deep breath before calling. I knew that the woman despised me because of where I came from. My father’s reputation was known around the mafia fami
Vladimir:“Are you sure you want to do this?” Ivan asked. I sighed, I didn’t want to do this, Sienna coming here was the last thing I ever thought of. But I knew Kiara, she would have been upset if I said otherwise, and I understand her reasons. Therefore, respecting my wife, I was forced to respect her decision.“No, but since Kiara believes that its right, and I know deep down that it is; I would go through with it till the end. However, if she believes for a second that she would be in charge here, then her and I will be having a problem” I said looking down at the papers which were in front of me. My pilot had called me a while ago informing me that they’ve arrived to Italy and were now waiting for further orders on whether to pick up the family, or wait for them to make their arrival.“Where’d the plane land anyway? Considering that one of the attacks was on the airport?” Ivan asked.“Some f
Kiara:“Sienna? What the hell happened?” Alessio asked frowning as the woman entered the house. Despite the makeup that she had on to obviously cover the bruises on her skin, looking up close at her, you could tell that she was badly injured.She shook her head as she walked inside, taking sight of our kids who were just coming down to greet them. Alessio nodded at the woman and took a step back allowing them to walk inside “we had everything covered, don’t worry”“What do you mean don’t worry? Sienna, you are going to the infirmary to get checked” Alessio ordered.“I’m a nurse, at least was one” the woman who came with Sienna, I’m assuming Serena, said, stopping Alessio “don’t worry, we got everything covered”“Alexandra, how about you take…?”“Daniella, and Donato” Sienna said introducing their kids.“Daniel
Alessio:I smiled as Kiara helped me with my jacket. Her eyes were fixed on my unbuttoned five buttons of my shirt, buttoning them up for me making me chuckle.“It’s snowing out, and I don’t need you becoming sick” she smiled running her finger over my covered chest. I smiled at her concern and kissed her cheek.“You and I both know that I wouldn’t get sick because of a little snow. You tend to forget that I am Russian sometimes” I teased. The fact that I tended to go and come back from Russia was something that had me used to such cold weather, it was the heat that I hated at times. However, sometimes a little sun didn’t do us any harm either.“I do not, and I will not respond to your sarcastic comment” she stood on her toes and kissed the corner of my lips “stay safe, yeah?”“Don’t worry, malyshka, safe isn’t a word in MY dictionary. But I will always come b
Kiara:“So, what do you want to do now?” I heard Alexandra ask.Daniella and Donato sat politely on the couch and I couldn’t help but worry about how the little girl would be feeling when she finds out about her father being alive after all this time. Her mother was already a mess despite trying to stay calm, she was a woman after all. Mafia or not, losing the love of you life to find out that you’ve been living a whole entire lie after all this time wasn’t something anyone wanted to go through.“How about we take them to the stable? Show them the horses?” I asked standing against the doorframe.“You have a stable?” Donato asked wide eyed.“Yes, mum likes riding horses, so daddy built her one” Alexandra gloated. I smiled at her behavior knowing that she loved riding the horses too, but due to me being ill, and her having exams in a few weeks; I couldn’t risk her falling and get
Alessio:“Tell me you found something that would be important” I said answering the phone. Both Ivan and I put on the wireless headphone to listen to whatever Thomas was about to say.“Hello to you too” Thomas answered. I could picture him rolling his eyes, but it wasn’t something that I wasn’t used to, nor was my behavior strange to him “yes, I did”“So?” I asked. Ivan and I have been sitting in the VIP lounge of one of my clubs, watching from far how the business ran. After losing Nina, it was harder for Kiara to trust anyone in her spot. Therefore, it was best for us to monitor things up close when we could. When we couldn’t, we had employees take care of it, but that didn’t mean that I trusted any of them one-hundred percent, that was a mistake that I didn’t intend on repeating.“There were indeed rejected transactions, from the same number that has been stealing. The
Alessio:I wrapped my arms around Kiara who was fast asleep in my arms. Her head laying on my chest as she laid comfortably.Having woken up a while ago, she was asleep on her side of the bed before I pulled her to lay on my chest earning a sigh of contentment. Everything she has been doing for me was something that I couldn’t help but feel grateful for. The woman has been patient through everything that I could put her through, whether it was issues that happened with the family, or my own anger at myself.Having called Sienna to be here was also something that I wouldn’t have been able to do. Judging by our past, I didn’t want to call her here, nor did I want to see her face; Kiara might have not known of it, but the past between us was there. It was the one secret that I hid from my beauty as not to sadden her, knowing that, I knew that I should be keeping myself under control of myself as not raise any suspicion that would end up causing an
Kiara:I smiled as I walked out of the bathroom to find that my husband was still asleep.His exhaustion having gotten the best of him, he couldn’t bring himself to open his eyes, or wake up when I had tried to wake him up. I got out of bed and showered before walking out to wake him once again, the man still needed to get to work.“Alessio, my love” I said softly. I ran my finger over his hand and he smiled despite his closed eyes, putting his right hand over my own, and pulling it to his chest, over his calm heartbeat.“I’m awake, malyshka, don’t worry” Alessio said opening his eyes to meet my own. Our eyes met and he smiled at the sight of me wearing his shirt and a pair of my white shorts. His finger running over my bare thigh before he sat up.“How are you feeling? You barely got to sleep last night…”“I’m fine, malyshka, nothing a cup of coffee can’t solve&r
Alessio:I walked inside the bedroom and sighed at my wife’s state.She was sitting on the floor out in the veranda, hugging her knees, and looking into space. Her eyes blank and void of emotion as she processed the heavy events that happened today. I couldn’t blame her either, if I was standing now; it was because I knew that she needed someone to hold her.Years back, it was me in her shoes, and her in mine. I was shattered after being forced to kill my sister, and she had found out that her mother has plotted her death. She buried her pain inside for my sake during that period, being my strength.I opened the door, slowly walking out, and careful not to frighten her. I slowly wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightly from the back, and it was seconds later when she gave into my touch.“Kia, you haven’t eaten anything since last night” I whispered to her. She has been standing strong for everyone, but I could s
Kiara:I watched as Alessio walked out with mum, dad, Thomas, Natasha, and Arda.He brought them all to their feet, and had them stand in front of everyone in the yard.The kids were at school, meaning that none of them would be seeing this.Grace’s eyes watered as she looked at her husband. His eyes met hers, and despite knowing that he broke everything she had in her, he mouthed a silent “I’m sorry”I knew that it broke him that he took away the one thing he wanted most. The fact that doctors told her that she might not have another baby not only broke her, but his heart too. He didn’t say it out loud, but he didn’t need to, if I knew Thomas in any possible way; I read his pain through his eyes.Alessio looked at me, his eyes telling me what his mouth couldn’t; he didn’t want me to see this, and in all honesty, neither did I. I didn’t want to live with the image of everyone I ever loved
Alessio:I followed my beauty as she walked out of the basement.All the color in her face was drained her hands shook.“Kia…” Kiara didn’t seem to see or hear Grace whose eyes were wide as she took in her best friend’s state. I shook my head at her, the woman was yet to face her own pain when she saw her husband tied up on the chair “Alessio, what’s going on?”“I’ll explain later, but I think that you might want to go inside with Ivan later” I said following Kiara up the stairs. Her mother’s words were harsh on her daughter, and I knew that my beauty wanted to be alone; however, I wasn’t going to let that happen. She didn’t leave me when I was in pain, she couldn’t expect me to leave her to handle her own pain by herself.Flashback:“You know, I fought to keep you alive when Kyle first found out I was pregnant” Tatiana said lo
Kiara:My heart raced with each step I took toward the basement. Chills ran down my spine with each step I took, and my heart ached as my husband opened the door.Alessio didn’t let me in to see dad when he brought him here, but now, it being the one place he could keep everyone without the kids seeing them; it was the one place where I could see them.My husband’s arm was wrapped around my waist as the two of us walked down the stairs, our steps slow as Alessio tried dragging time. He didn’t want me being in here, I knew that for face; but he knew that there was nothing that he could do about it now. I was already INSIDE the basement; I wasn’t going to go back now. Plus, I didn’t want Alessio telling me that he already told me not to go in there. I wanted to be here, and there was no longer any need for me to be hiding or running away from what I knew was right.The smells of blood, piss, and vomit filled my nostrils, and I
Alessio:I entered the bedroom feeling drained. My whole body was drained of energy after everything that we’ve done and the searches that we’ve been through, I was just thankful that our efforts didn’t go in vain.My eyes catching sight of my beauty who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking out the window as she waited for me. I knew that she wouldn’t be able to sleep with me out of the house for more than two days, and the lack of sleep that I got since was evident in my eyes.I cleared my throat, breaking whatever train of thought my beauty was lost in, snapping her out of her trance. She turned to face me and her eyes lit up as her smile widened. She got up from bed, despite knowing that she shouldn’t much, and ran toward me, wrapping her arms around my neck as she hugged me tightly.“You got me worried sick” she whispered kissing my jawline. She cupped my cheeks to look me in the eye, frowning when she
Kiara:“Don’t you have school tomorrow, love?” I teased Alexandra who smiled. Her eyes meeting mine as a smile danced across her lips knowing that she was up late on a school night, something which she wasn’t allowed to do on regular days.“I do! But Viktor’s screaming woke me up, mum!”“Ah, my little princess” Alessio teased carrying Alexandra. Alex laughed and tried squirming from her father’s touch as he tried tickling her. Alessio kissed her cheek before putting her down. I could tell from his eyes that he was angry; however, knowing my husband, my love wouldn’t be showing his anger to our kids. He would be sure to show it to those he wanted to, but not our kids. Alessio nudged my cheek with his nose and I smiled as he kissed my cheek.“You need to go back to bed, malyshka” Alessio whispered to me. His eyes softening as he looked at me despite the mental battle that I knew h
Alessio:I paced around my office as the doctor’s words played in my head. The way my wife looked so helpless as she asked me to head to the hospital to begin with was yet to escape my mind before the doctor spoke to us at the fucking hospital.Clenching my fists around the glass that was in my hand, it was initially filled with whiskey which I drowned down ages ago. I glared at the wall in front of me before throwing the glass, watching it smash into pieces.How could I let something like this happen? How could I have let my beauty deal with such pain? The woman begged me for the first time to avenge her, and the thing was, I didn’t even know where to begin. Well, I did, but not in the literal state.Kyle was held captive in my hands. But I needed Tatiana. That woman was going to wish she was never born; I was going to be sure of it. I will not even mention Thomas or Natasha. The pair know what their fate would be, and they know that they&rsq
Kiara:“The concussion has indeed returned to its first phase of not healing, but you shouldn’t be too worried about it, Kiara as it would heal with time. Only this time you would need to take your medication instead of waiting for it to heal on its own” Dr. Jason said looking me in the eye. He kept his eyes on mine, avoiding Alessio’s as he knew that my husband would mostly be on edge as he heard the news. Hell, even I was frightened as he spoke of them despite his calm demeanor “the reason for the headaches is a blood clot that happened when you hit your head the second time; it would heal with time, but you would need to take it very easy as not to risk it giving you a stroke”“These medicines would help ease the pain, and you would be needing checkups on a weekly basis until we’re sure that you can be on your own without them. For now, we would be sending two nurses with you, and unless your husband is by your side, t
Alessio:“Ops” I said after breaking Kyle’s nose. The man’s eyes rolled to the back of his head as he tried getting them to focus on me. But whenever he did try to look me in the eye, I would punch him in the face, reminding him who stood in front of him.“So, you have two options, and these options are only because I love my beauty” I said looking him in the eye “you will either answer, and get a quick death, or stall, and I will be sure you’re begging for it as you give me each answer I want”I dragged my knife over his thigh, cutting it as I did, watching as Kyle struggled to keep himself quiet. His eyes widening before squinting shut as he bit his bottom lip. He looked me in the eye, tears forming in them, tears which he tried blinking away, drawing blood from his bottom lip.“You wouldn’t find them. They would have been long gone” Kyle whimpered and I nodded stabbing his knee wit
