BLOODSTAINED HEARTS CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
ALEXEII waited patiently, giving her the time she needed to gather her thoughts. "After Mom died, I was first taken to an orphanage, and I was there for about a year before I was adopted," Zoey began, her voice carrying the scars of her memories."They were good people until they were not. Their daughter never liked me, so she turned her parents' hearts against me." Her eyes, clouded with sadness, mirrored the pain she had endured.I held her hands gently, a silent gesture of support as she ventured into the depths of her past. The pain etched on her face made it clear that these were wounds that time hadn't fully healed."They totally changed towards me overnight, and they became bad people until they eventually became tired of me, and then I went to the next foster home." Her gaze became distant, as if she were reliving those moments.As Zoey continued, the layers of her tumultuous journey unfolded before me. "They were even worse than the previous ones. It was as if they needed a

ZOEYI never intended to spill my secrets to him, but the circumstances we were in forced me to spill everything.The words just kept pouring out of me, a part of myself I had hidden away for so long now laid bare."I killed a man. I am a fucking murderer," I confessed, the weight of that truth hanging heavy in the air."You are not a murderer, Zoey," Alexei's voice cut through my self-condemnation.I turned to him, surprised that I had spoken those words aloud. I shook my head bitterly. "I am, Alexei. I kept on stabbing him, and the funny thing is, I did not regret it. I am a fucking psycho," I laughed bitterly, the sound echoing in the small room.He gently turned me to face him, his hands holding my face. "You are not a psycho. If you hadn't done what you did, he would have raped you and probably killed you. So you defended yourself," he reassured me.I hiccuped, the emotions swirling within me. "I ran away.

ZOEYI woke up the next morning feeling an unusual sense of calmness. It had been a long time since I had slept so peacefully.Turning to the other side of the bed, I noticed Alexei wasn't there. I scanned the room, but there was no sign of him. The warmth on his side of the bed suggested he had only just gotten up.After brushing my teeth in the bathroom, I realized my clothes were still dirty. Opting for one of his shirts, I found it large on me, with sleeves that were too long. I folded it and went in search of Alexei.The aroma of something delicious led me to the kitchen. There he was, shirtless and cooking. My heart raced at the sight of him. I stood in the doorway, captivated by the sheer presence of this man.Tattoos adorned his left hand and extended to his back. It was a breathtaking sight, and for a moment, I just couldn't look away.I mustered the courage to step into the kitchen, unable to resist the magnetic pu

ZOEYThe morning light streamed into the room as I woke up, groaning against its brightness. As I turned to the side, the empty space beside me hinted that Alexei was not there for the second time today.A smile tugged at my lips as the memories of the early morning flooded my mind – it was undoubtedly intense.Feeling a pleasant soreness between my legs, I couldn't help but smile again. A long, soothing bath worked its magic, and I slipped into another one of Alexei's shirts, reveling in the comfortable embrace of his oversized clothing. As I stepped into the kitchen, the sight of him, shirtless and at ease, brought another smile to my lips.Taking a moment to appreciate the view, I couldn't resist wrapping my arms around his back, feeling the contours of his muscular frame. He turned slightly, his lips finding the bridge of my nose in a tender kiss that sent my heart racing."Hey," I greeted, my voice a soft murmur."Hey," he replied, a smirk dancing on his lips, and I couldn't help

ALEXEII sat motionless, my mind reeling from the revelation. For a very long time, I haven't allowed myself to think about my father.He was somebody that I despised. His cruelty knew no bounds. He was cruel even to his own family, so what stopped him from being cruel to those he was supposed to lead?I found myself transported back to the darkest corridors of my past.

I even found myself saying sorry for Mikhail's actions.Yelena, with her tough exterior, reassured me, "Zoey, none of this is on you. It all went down before you even knew who your real family was." I sighed, unable to shake off the guilt. "Won't you remember what Mikhail did to your family when you look at me?" I asked her the same question I asked Alexei.She shot me a glare, her response firm, "Why would I want to think about that asshole when I look at you?" Her words were a comforting balm, but my guilt lingered. I tried to explain, "He's my so-called grandfather, and he..." She cut me off with a no-nonsense tone, "I don't give a fuck. Stop beating yourself up, okay?" Her hand patted mine, and I managed a weak smile. Yelena's streng
