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 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: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 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: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 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
“Alexandra, love, we’re going to need to reach the bridge before dad gets to your father” Kiara said kneeling down to the ten-year-old girl’s height. Her heart raced against her ribcage as she thought of what was to come. “How are we going to reach there?” The child asked. Kiara cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead before showing her a knife. “Leave that up to me, but I need you to keep this in hand. If anything happens, and if anyone tries to harm you; you’re going to need to defend yourself” Kiara said. Kiara put the knife in Alexandra’s pocket and took her hand as she searched the room they were previously locked in for anything that would help them fight. But knowing that there was no time to waste, she chose to run out without a proper search. “Mum, we can’t run till there!” Alexandra said and Kiara nodded. “We won’t be running till there, just trust me” she said as her eyes caught one of her father’s men unlocking a car. She snuck behind hi
Kiara:“But, daddy!” I heard our daughter whine making me laugh.“No buts, you need to go to bed as to be able to wake up in the morning without giving your mom a hassle like you do every morning” Alessio said gently. I walked to our daughter’s bedroom to find her sitting on the bed, resting her back against her dad’s chest as he rested his against the headrest.“I promise I won’t give her too much of a fuss, but this show only starts at this time!” Alexandra said looking at her dad who laughed. He had named her after his sister wanting to keep the memory of her, and despite what she has done, I couldn’t deny him that “and I know you’re going to tell me to watch it when it comes on again after school, but how am I going to be able to discuss it with the girls at school tomorrow! They’ll be ahead of me!”I laughed as I heard the way she spoke of the situation, the fact that
Alessio:“Have you managed to track anything?” I asked Ivan who shook his head as he handed me a few papers when I entered the office.“Nothing, whoever set that bomb was sure to leave no trace” Ivan answered and I nodded. I expected this to be a little harder than usual, but I didn’t really care; these people were human, they were bound to leave a single trace.“Try the street cameras, not the ones surrounding the building; those that are leading to it would do. See if you can find anything suspicious” I said putting the papers down on the desk “come on, we need to drop the kids to school before we head to work”“Alright” Ivan said nodding. The two of us walked out of the office and to the living room where Natasha was rocking her and Ivan’s baby, Timur, Alexandra was watching her recorded episode, and Kiara holding Viktor who was watching Tatiana, Natasha’s eldest daughter as

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
