Alessio:

I ran my fingers through my hair as I watched my wife’s chest rise and fall in her sleep.

The oxygen mask on her face helped her breathe, and I hated the fact that she had all the machines plugged around her for her to be able to at least breathe normally.

“Alessio, she’s going to be fine” dad assured and I shook my head. She’s been sleeping for the past two weeks. Thankfully, the men reported to Ivan that there was an ambush at the airport. They had come with everything to help us, but when they arrived, the bombing started nearly killing them too.

The room that we were in kept us safe for a few hours while they removed the ruins around us to get us out. Yasmina broke her arm and bad a few cuts, but thankfully, her and Paolo’s injuries were quickly treated and they were waiting for Kiara to wake up before they left.

“She’s a strong woman, Alessio” Paolo said catching my attention &ldqu

    Kiara:I stayed quiet for a while as I processed what Doctor Anastasia had told me a while ago.My hand rested on my stomach, where my child once was, and I sighed.The fact that I didn’t know of this pregnancy was something, but the fact that I lost the baby was another. But judging by the circumstances that I was in, I wouldn’t have been able to protect the baby if I knew of it anyway.“How are you feeling, baby?” Alessio asked and I sighed.“I’m fine, I guess. It would take a while to digest what I heard but anyway, we’ve gotten out of worse, right?” I said smiling at my husband. He took my hand in his and kissed my knuckle softly.“It was my fault for what happened, I shouldn’t have…”“Now, now, you blaming yourself would do nothing, love. I don’t think you planned for an attack at the airport, nor did you plan for mum to come out with brain-contr

    Alessio:I wrapped my arms around my wife hugging her tightly.“You take it easy today, malyshka. If anything happens, just call me and I’ll be back in a few minutes” I said cupping my wife’s cheeks. She smiled and nodded, she stood on her toes and connected our lips making me smile. I rested my forehead against her own.“Don’t worry, love, I’ll be fine. I have Natasha by my side if anything happens, and I’ll be sure to be easy on myself until you’ve arrived” Kiara said smiling. I nodded and wrapped my arms around her shoulder as the two of us walked out of the room and down the stairs. I was thankful for her being safe and happy. I knew that she still felt pain for our lost child, though she made sure not to show it to anyone, she was my wife, I could read her like an open book.“Boss”“Ivan” I nodded and he smiled. Kiara helped me wear my jacket as she usually did

    Kiara:“What happened with Sienna?” I asked. My curiousity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but find out.“She came here to ask dad for help over a promise that he gave her when he was Pakhan believing that I would take part of it. At first, I kicked her out…”“Alessio, why on Earth would you kick out a woman that came asking for your help?” I asked stopping my husband. He sighed and ran his finger over my own.“She’s been walking around believing that she’s queen…”“Alessio…”“At least let me finish what happened since you asked” Alessio teased and I shook my head at his behavior.“Go on”“Then she warned me about Allessio coming to the family. It only took me hearing his name to go against what I initially planned, as this war was now mine too” Alessio said and I nodded intertwining our

    Alessio: “Boss, we’ve literally searched everywhere we could think of, Arda is either hiding somewhere, with someone, or he has left New York” Ivan said looking me in the eye. I banged the table, knocking down a few pens that were on it, before pinching the bridge of my nose. “The man couldn’t have gone to the airport without us finding out. Our men have been searching for him since he left the house” I said looking Ivan in the eye “and it’s not like they don’t know how he looks like. The man lived under the same roof with them” “How did it reach to here, Alessio?” Ivan asked pinching the bridge of his nose “why the hell would he suddenly turn against the whole family, there’s literally no excuse that I could think of that would explain why he’s done so” “Believe me, Ivan, if I had the answer to that question; I would have given it to you. But the two of us are just as oblivious to what the man had planned, or why he had done so. Especially considerin

    Kiara:“I was thinking that we could go do our nails tomorrow” Natasha said looking at her nails as we watched a movie.“And how are you going to convince Alessio to let the two of us out of the house? In case you haven’t noticed that I was on bedrest lockdown” I teased and Natasha laughed. I laid my head on her shoulder as she ran her fingers through my hair in a comforting manner.“How are you really feeling, Kia? I know that you and Alessio talk about it. But how are you feeling? I’m asking you as a sister” Natasha asked and I sighed.“Honestly, I don’t know. I’m tired I guess, everything seems to be tightening on me; but I know that I should be strong for Alessio. The man is going through a lot, and with everything that he should be dealing with I can’t worry him about me too” I said and Natasha nodded “as for my baby, as I told Alessio, I feel guilty about losing my c

    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

    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
