Kiara:

Grace and I walked through the mall while the men prepared the watch that I had bought for Alessio.

It being his birthday, I didn’t want the day to go without a celebration. The man has been doing so much for me, the least I could do for him is give him a birthday that he would remember, at least between the two of us.

“What do you have planned for him though? I haven’t seen you doing anything that implied that it was his birthday?” Grace asked. I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose. Things have been harder lately with the Dragonetti family and what my parents have done. I knew that whatever I planned, Alessio would be against for security reasons.

“It would be a simple thing between him and I, I can’t risk planning anything with the Arda case, not to mention mum, and…”

“Sienna” Grace said and I nodded. I still didn’t understand what her issue with Alessio was, but even see

    Alessio:I smiled at the sight of my beauty who was sleeping peacefully on my bicep as I laid on my back.Her back faced me, exposing its bareness for my eyes, and I couldn’t help but smile at the memories of the previous night. She had made sure to remind me that I was hers in every possible way, and I couldn’t say that I didn’t love every second of it.I slowly raised myself and kissed her bare shoulder before I pulled the blanket over her body, covering her. I checked my watch before getting out of bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, my body feeling regenerated after our long night.I debated whether or not to get back into bed, but decided against it considering the fact that today was our last day before all our employees go on holiday. I tended to give them an extra day off, and half a day today to go and prepare something for their families and themselves, not to mention the early double salary they got.I went to the bath

    Kiara:“Bloody hell…” I whimpered coming undone under Alessio. His own body tensed before he released inside me. His eyes screwing shut as he rested his forehead against my own.He rode the two of us slowly, kissing my cheek as he did. His eyes opening to meet my own only for him to sigh when he noticed that my own eyes were cold and void of emotion.Despite my exhausted state, Alessio had done his take on me, I will admit, I couldn’t find myself being able to forget what I heard only hours ago. Alessio pulled out of me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to his chest. The feeling of insecurity coursed my veins. My heart ached as I imagined her taking him from me, and the funny part was; it would be my fault.I was the one who invited her here, bringing her to him, reminding him of what he felt toward her. Did he still feel anything toward her? Did he doubt marrying me? Was I only a replacement? Has he ever thought of tryin

    Alessio:I wrapped my arms around Kiara, hugging her tightly “when did I get blessed with a beauty like yourself?”“The second your dad decided that you needed a babysitter” Kiara teased. I chuckled at her playfulness, thankful to see that side of her after her anger today, and though I knew that our argument wasn’t entirely over; I at least knew that this was a start.“I’ll go and see Sienna” I said putting my finger under my beauty’s chin. Her eyes met mine and I smiled when I saw that her expression was somewhat more relaxed than it had been an hour ago.“You skipped work today”“There was nothing that the employees can’t handle. Plus, Ivan was there too” I shrugged. Kiara shook her head and stood on her toes to wrap her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly.“I’m sorry” she whispered. I frowned in confusion and softly pushed her away,

    Kiara:“I’m so sorry, princess” I heard Natasha tell Tatiana as she hugged her tightly “I’m so, so sorry”I walked inside her room and put my hand on her shoulder. Alessio was in his office giving his orders while he asked me to make sure that everything was okay inside the house. The pilot was already preparing the jet and has gotten permission to land in Italy, the only issue we had now was dealing with Christian whenever he arrives.Natasha jumped as I squeezed her shoulder in assurance, and I smiled in assurance, sitting beside her and hugging her “she’s fine, Natasha, she should be waking up soon”Natasha didn’t say a word as she hugged me back. We pulled away to look one another in the eye and I wiped her tears which fell from her eyes. Having checked on the kids, I was thankful that none of them was harmed, and that Daniella was safe in her aunt’s room.“I’ll go ch

    Vladimir:I looked out the window as I counted the minutes for the plane to land. My men being armed and ready for any attack that may occur when we reached Italy. The fact that we were heading to a coward loin’s den was worrying enough; the man could have armed security everywhere. But we had no other option; I wasn’t going to leave a woman who came to me for assistance at their mercy.“Boss, I just traced them” Thomas said through the phone. I was thankful for being able to use my private line despite being on air “they just arrived to the Dragonetti Estate”“Thank you”“Anything else that I can do for you?” Thomas asked.“For now, no. Just be sure to keep Kiara and the kids safe, she would need you around her” I said trusting my wife’s best friend with her life. I knew that if something happened to me, she would at least have her friends by her side. Grace and Thomas w

    Kiara:I smile at the sight of Daniella running to the living room toward the kids who were currently watching cartoons. Christian coming over has helped her at least. I can’t say much about me or the man, but I can say that he has helped calm the little girl down.“Easy, little one” I smiled getting down on my knees in front of her “what do you have here?”“Christian gave me sweets! Can I share them with Alexandra, Tatiana, and Viktor?” She asked, her eyes making me give in almost immediately. I cupped her cheek, and gave her a gentle kiss making her smile.“Of course, you can. But not too much, princess, I just prepared hot chocolate. So, don’t go too much on sweets, yeah?” I said gently. She nodded and smiled before rushing toward the kids. I sighed at the sight of Christian who just walked out the door. The man was planning on freezing himself. I was sure of that.I walked toward the k

    Alessio:I watched as Dario kissed his brother’s forehead.His eyes saddening at the sight of his hero. I couldn’t even blame him for it, the man has always looked up to his brother; seeing him in this state wasn’t something that any of us liked.The doctor has checked on Sienna a while ago, and she has been laying on the couch since then. Not moving a muscle with each breath she took, her body looked drain, and her eyes void of life “Sienna, do you want to drink something?”She shook her head and I sighed taking a seat beside her. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to my chest, allowing her to let go of her pain. The four of us were at one of my safe houses, I had to call my best doctors to get here, and of course, my phone decided to die on me just as I tried calling my wife.“You need to compose yourself before we get home, Sienna, we can’t stay here much longer. Both Kiara and Christian would be

    Kiara:I smiled at Daniella who pat the horses, one by one, giving them a carrot.“Did you call mamma?” She asked me and I smiled getting down on my knee in front of her “I haven’t heard from her since she left, and she usually calls me good night at least”“She will be coming back soon, princess. They weren’t going to be long anyway” I promised the little girl. My chest ached as the words left my mouth, I hadn’t heard from Alessio since he landed at Italy, and that was three days ago. I couldn’t even call him in fear of exposing him if he was sneaking in somewhere, but a painful feeling settled in my chest with each passing minute."Promise?""Didn’t Christian promise you that last night before bed?” I teased. As if on cue, Christian walked inside the stable alongside Grace whose smile was wide as she just returned from the hospital.“I promised what again?”

    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
