Alessio:
My bedroom’s door was knocked twice making me frown in confusion.
“Come in” I called. The door opened revealing Kiara who smiled as she walked inside. The two of us had come back to the suite about an hour ago, and I had just showered and changed into my sweat pants. Kiara seemed to have done the same as she was wearing leggings and an oversized pink shirt “are you alright?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just came here to return this to you” she said carefully holding out mom’s pendant. I smiled and walked toward her, motioning for her to turn around as I took the pendant from her hand. She still had her necklace in the pendant which made things a whole lot easier for me.
I slowly put the necklace around her neck and sealed the lock. I knew that it was stupid to trust someone that I barely knew with something as valuable, but if she was going to be around me everywhere I went; well, let’s just say
Kiara:“Has anyone seen Alessio? And please tell me the man didn’t go out to kill someone” I asked Ivan, Natasha, and Katerina.Katerina was Natasha’s mum, I had learned from Arda that she took care of them after their mother had died. She was their second mum, and I could see the love and respect they all had for the woman.“No, Alessio wouldn’t be killing anyone tonight. I assume he went to his mom’s study room” Ivan said and I nodded walking up to my room. Well, at least a one night break was in order.Walking toward my room, my eyes caught sight of Alessio who was indeed I his mum’s study, however, he wasn’t inside the study. He was in the Veranda, his arms crossed over his chest as he stood there in front of the rail and looked up the sky. My eyes softened at the sight of the man and I walked toward my room getting a blanket and walking toward the study room. I knew that he didn’t like
Alessio:“Don’t worry, dad, I really am fine” I heard Kiara say as she spoke to her dad. The door to her bedroom was open as she spoke to him “alright, take care of yourself, yeah?”“Okay, we’ll talk soon, bye” I heard her say before she hung up and put the phone on her bed.“So, which is it this time? Am I asleep, sick, or mentally unstable?” I asked in a teasing tone making Kiara laugh.“First, hi, second, you know that I hate lying to him. But imagine him finding out about me working with a mafia man rather than a child? The man would get a heart attack before I’m even done with the sentence” Kiara said bending down to fix her heels.“Fair enough” I chuckled. I watched as she stood up and looked at herself in the mirror before turning around to face me.“How do I look?” She asked.“Like I’m going to have to beat up abou
Kiara:“You know, for a small woman, you really can hold down your liquor” Alessio teased as the bartender brought the seventh shot to our table.The two of us drowned down the shots and I jumped in excitement before leaning over my arm to look at Alessio who was smirking at me. The two of us have been going at this for a while now, and as reckless as it was. The two of us were enjoying it “hold down my liquor? I am not even drunk, Mr. Aslanov”Alessio chuckled and ran his finger over my jawline just as the bartender brought in the next round of shots. This time Alessio shook his head and I raised an eyebrow “is this a surrender that I’m witnessing?”“No, this is preventing my gorgeous beauty from getting knocked out” Alessio teased and I laughed. The fact that he’s been claiming me as his own throughout the whole night hasn’t escaped my mind. But I was making sure to not show him the excit
Alessio:“What now, boss?” Ivan asked dad who was sitting on his desk. Having found trace of the men who have been trying to sabotage out business for months, it was finally time to take action against them.“Well, we can start by giving you guys permission to do what you do best” dad said making me frown in confusion “track them down, and kill them”“What about Kiara?” I asked raising an eyebrow. Me and the woman may have a thing between us, but he did hire her to stop us from getting into such trouble.“I will be dealing with her. I’ll let her know that it was something that I authorized, this has to be done and it has to be done quickly” dad said and I nodded. Artur raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head, raising a questioning eyebrow.“Need we ask, where Kiara is to begin with? I know for fact that she isn’t at home, and you two never came home to begin with last
Kiara:“So, do you want to tell me where you’re taking me?” I asked Alessio raising an eyebrow at him. He smirked and wrapped his arm around me. The two of us were inside the car while Lyov drove us off to wherever Alessio has decided to want to take me.“Well, I would; but it wouldn’t be a surprise if I did, now would it?” Alessio asked in a teasing tone which made me smile. Shaking my head to answer Alessio, I laid my head over his beating heart. To say that I was lucky would be an understatement. Knowing that he trusted me with something that was as valuable as the pendant that I was wearing, something that belonged to his mum, it made me feel special. I didn’t know how to describe what I was feeling, but I was grateful that he had let his walls down.Lyov came to a stop in front of a restaurant which made me look up at Alessio who ran his finger over my arm. He was looking out the window, clearly focused on us arrivi
Alessio:The alarm’s ringing woke me up. Knowing that last night was a long one, I had to resolve to putting an alarm as not to wake up at noon.I extended my arm to turn it off only to smile at the sleeping woman who was laying her head on my chest, just over my beating heart.I ran my fingers through her messed up curls, twirling my finger in a strand, and softly untangling her hair as I went on. She didn’t stir for a second, and I knew that it wasn’t just the alcohol’s effect.She felt safe, she knew that I wouldn’t harm her, she trusted me, and that was something that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Never in my life did I think that a woman trusting me was going to bring me such comfort, just remembering how she had trusted me with opening up to me, knowing that I could easily crush her but trusting that I wouldn’t hurt a hair on her if I could prevent it; it was something that brought me contentment.&
Kiara:I woke up with a headache that could match a migraine.I massaged my temple and sat up to check my phone, my eyes widened when I saw that it was a while past noon. I forced myself out of the bed and walked out of the bedroom to find the suite oddly quiet. I frowned in confusion when I saw Alessio sitting on the couch, his arm spread on the couch’s backrest, a drink in his hand.“Alessio?” I asked frowning in confusion. He didn’t even turn to face me as he hummed in response “is everything alright?”“Yes, why?” Alessio asked. His voice cold and void of emotion, it reminded me of when I first came to the house and he was doing his best to annoy his father.“Did something happen? You told me that you would wake me up in an hour, but...”“I didn’t think that it was important to wake you. You needed to sleep” Alessio said and I frowned. I walked toward him and sa
Alessio:It was hours before we heard the baby’s cry. We have been standing in front of the door waiting for the baby’s voice before we walked out. Natasha had stopped yelling eventually. But we were yet to hear anything else.Our eyes widened and Ivan rushed inside the bathroom, all of us following behind to find Kiara’s shirt filled with blood as she handed Natasha her baby. Both women smiled at one another before Kiara squeezed Natasha’s shoulder.Ivan walked toward Natasha who smiled at him. He kissed her forehead before he looked at his newborn child. A smile growing on his face as he caught sight of the little creature. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Kiara’s smile soon faded when she looked at me and she lowered her gaze to the ground as she attempted to walk toward the door.“Kiara?” Natasha’s call stopped her. Kiara turned to face Natasha who held her baby with one arm, extending her l
“It seems like you’ve failed this one, Tatiana” Kyle said looking at his lover, or in other words, slave.She let out a silent laugh before raising an eyebrow at him, her eyes studying his expression as she waited for him to insult her one more time. She knew that he could do nothing at this point, he too has failed their boss’s assignment.“It seems like a cat bit your tongue? Or has seeing your daughter softened you up?”“Oh, please, you of all people know that it was always you who had a soft side toward the girl. Had it been up to me, she would have been dead ages ago, but no, you wouldn’t allow me to end her life despite it being easier before” Tatiana said walking past Kyle who grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her to him.“The girl is your daughter, and you may not admit it, but everyone sees the love you have for her in your eyes”“At least I don’t let that love
Alessio:I had my arm wrapped around my beauty’s waist as the two of us sat on the sitting room’s couch, watching a movie.We didn’t want to go down to the living room, knowing that everyone would be there. Therefore, we decided to stay in the sitting room that was on our floor. Having modified it recently, it was where we spent most of our time if we weren’t in the bedroom.I kissed my beauty’s temple and she smiled looking up at me, the love bite on her neck exposed for everyone’s eyes to see, and no matter how hard she tried covering it, I didn’t allow her to. It was one of my ways of letting everyone know that she was mine, though everyone already knew that, I wasn’t concerned about the family members though.“Alessio…” Alexei said walking up the stairs making me frown in confusion “boss wants to see you in his office”“Who’d you kill this time?” Ki
Kiara:“Easy there, girl” I smiled patting my horse as she came to a stop.I leaned down to kiss her neck and smiled scratching her hair twice “now, I’m jealous”I laughed turning to face my husband who was standing in front of the fence of the field. His arms were crossed over his chest as he watched me walk toward him. Angel ignoring the fact that I was on top of her, walked toward him and he smiled run his hand over her head as he pat her softly.“How’d you know that I was here?” I asked raising an eyebrow.“Do I not know my wife?” Alessio teased making me smile. I got down from on top of Angel, taking her reins in my hand as not to have her run around the field, she tended to do that when she was left loose, and pat the beauty’s neck before walking to my husband.His hand cupped my cheek as he gave me a soft, gentle kiss on the lips. I smiled into the kiss before the two o
Alessio:I ran my finger through my wife’s exposed thigh as she slept in my arms.The two of us have been in mom’s study room for a while now, I had wanted to be there alone. But Kiara had refused to let me live my pain alone, she knew that I would be here to hide my pain away, and it was something that she hadn’t allowed since Alex had died.Her and I have spent a few nights at numerous hotels in the past month, however, I knew that with us staying there, it was impossible for me to run away from the pain that I was living. Thankfully, Kiara had been supportive to me through it all.I kissed her temple as she slept, her hand was under her head over my chest and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her looking as innocent as she did. Her angelic face relaxed despite the pain she too was in.It amazed me how she was able to help mend my pain when she should have been focusing on her own as well. She hadn’t brought
Kiara:The funeral happened three days after Alexandra was buried.Alessio had made sure that everything was taken care of, and despite the pain that the family was in, the man remained as tough and strong as a lion. Alessio had made sure that Alexandra’s betrayal wasn’t mentioned anywhere, she was remembered as an Aslanov family member, a family member who wasn’t spoken about. No one outside the family members knew of what happened, and Alessio made sure to make everyone mind his limits when it came to the topic.He would wrap his arms around me to breakdown at night. His walls falling apart for me to help him mend his broken wounds. I would admit that it hurt me seeing him in such a state, but I managed to stay strong for his sake. Ignoring the shock that I was feeling about everything that I’ve learned in a short span of time, I stood strong for my husband.We had just arrived home and Damien walked straight to his office, Artur
Alessio:“Anything?” I asked Ivan walking inside the basement to find him pulling Alexandra’s head out of the bucket of water.“Not a thing, the woman is as stubborn as you are, if not more. But don’t worry, she’ll crack eventually” Ivan answered as Alexandra coughed twice. She glared at him before spitting on his face making him raise an eyebrow “stubborn, traitor, and stupid…”“Ivan” I said raising a hand stopping him from going on “can you leave us alone?”Ivan raised an eyebrow but I nodded again, Alexei who was helping Ivan walked out with him leaving me and my sister to sit alone in the basement. I sighed and walked behind her, she tensed fearing that I would be the one tormenting her, but I wouldn’t be able to do so, not yet anyway.I untied her hands then got on my knees in front of her, my eyes fixed on hers as she frowned in confusion while I untied
Kiara:I woke up to find myself surrounded by people.Their voices rang in my head despite them practically whispering.I frowned and struggled to open my eyes only to find myself on a hospital bed, the voices belonged to Thomas, Grace, Arda, and Natasha. Alessio, Damien, and Artur were also here. However, all three men were quiet.Alessio’s eyes had dark circles under them from lack of sleep, his expression softening when he caught my open eyes. Getting up from the couch he was sitting on, he walked toward me catching everyone’s attention before he leaned I and kissed my forehead. I could barely feel my body, but the pain that was in my chest was enough to break a grown man, and judging by Artur’s expression, he either knew the reason behind my pain, or he was feeling the same one.Trying to sit up, Alessio softly pushed me down not allowing me to “you barely got out of surgery a few hours ago, malyshka, you need to rest&rd
Alessio:“What do you mean Kiara is in trouble?” I asked Natasha whose eyes were as wide as a frightened deer.“I saw Lyov carrying her out of her room, Alexandra and Delilah were both following behind. She was unconscious…”I walked past Natasha to my and Kiara’s room, expecting to find this being a dirty joke only for my hands to shake when I saw the necklace I gave her thrown on the bed. Kiara was nowhere to be seen, however, I noticed that our things were rummaged through.I ran out of my room to the camera room my hands shaking as I feared the worst, Ivan catching sight of me followed me. However, the two of us froze at the sight of the slaughtered men in front of the camera room. I took out my gun, Ivan, dad, and Artur who had also followed us here. All four of us froze for a second when we found that both camera men were brutally stabbed before getting slaughtered beside their chairs.“What happened
Kiara:“Hey” Natasha said when she saw me entering the living room. Alessio had gone to his office as soon as we got into the house.“Hi” I said smiling. She hugged me tightly and I sighed.“Trouble in paradise?” She asked and I shook my head.“I’m just worried about Alessio, things just got a little too messed up” I answered looking at the wall before dismissing myself to my and Alessio’s room. I needed to get some rest anyway, the way home was long, and the fact that Alessio and I had gone from Niagara back to the hotel was a long enough drive as it was.“It seems like the little princess had come home, or must I call you queen now?” Alexandra’s voice startled me the second I closed the bedroom door. She was sitting on top of our bed looking at me with a raised eyebrow “oh, come on, kitten, why do you look so surprised to see me inside my brother’s bedroom?&
