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
Kiara:I left the Estate not stopping for anyone who questioned where I was going.The fact that Alessio was following me wasn’t something that I missed. But I didn’t want to speak to him, and therefore, I didn’t bother stopping no matter how many times he called me.Well, that was until he wrapped his arms around my waist and forced me to stop just a few blocks away from the house. His eyes met mine and I could swear that I saw regret in them, something which I have never seen in his eyes. However, what was happening was his fault, I didn’t just go on ahead leaving because I wanted to. They had accused me of something which I wouldn’t do, something that I wouldn’t have think of doing.“Let me go, Alessio” I snapped and he glared at me. His eyes studying my expression before he lifted me over his shoulder “ALESSIO!”“Yes, Kiara?”“PUT ME DOWN!” I yelled hitti
Alessio:I ran my finger over Kiara’s arm as she laid on my chest trying to keep herself awake.“You know, you’re making it a lot harder for me to stay awake, Alessio” she commented. I chuckled tightening my arms around her and pulling her closer to me, softly kissing her temple.“I never said that you couldn’t sleep though” I said gently and Kiara raised herself on my chest. She looked me in the eye and I ran my finger over her jawline, softly resting it on her chin making her smile.“Yes, you didn’t, but we need to go and see how Natasha is at the hospital. She just gave birth, and need I remind you that it wasn’t easy or normal” Kiara reminded and I nodded. She was right, I had kept my phone on loud in case anyone called for any issues, thankfully no one did. But we still needed to go and see how things were going, how Natasha and her baby were, and what the next procedures would go.
Kiara:It’s been two weeks since Tatia was born.Two short and long weeks.The number of things that have happened during the time are crazy, which went from cutting my English number and having dad go crazy as he tried to find a way to reach me, to almost losing Tatia.It turned out that the baby was born with a weak heart, her mum having fallen from the stairs, she had unintentionally harmed her. Tatia’s heart had stopped twice at the hospital, thankfully they were able to get it beating again, and now she has four nurses who are with her around the clock.Then we have my dad…After finding out that he had bugged my phone to listen in on my conversations or know where I was going, it was no wonder to me that he wasn’t as worried as he was when I was back home. To him, he believed that I never went out, or maybe he knew but he was just glad that he got ears here in the Aslanov house. At first, I didn’t underst
Alessio:I watched as Kiara left the bathroom and walked toward the bed wearing her black shorts and pink loose shirt. Her blonde hair still wet from her taking a shower as she dried it with a towel. I knew that she didn’t like using a blow drier, and I didn’t question her for it.I smiled and waited for her to get in bed and wrapped my arms around her securely. Call me possessive, but it has become a habit that I had my arms wrapped around her, or had my hand holding hers. A claim of possession, she was mine, and I wanted everyone to know that.“So, what did you think of them?” Kiara asked referring to her friends. I had watched her call them, whether it was phone calls or video calls. I knew that both were very close to her, and I appreciated them being around her.“They’re nice, Grace is something alright” I said chuckling. The woman wanted to get a gun of her own which is something that Thomas begged me not to
Kiara:“What is this place?” I asked when we entered what looked like a motel. The motel was at a farm about two hours away from New York. Alessio smiled and brought my hand to his knuckle, softly kissing it.“I heard a small rumor that you were a horse rider, and I thought why not bring you somewhere that you might enjoy” Alessio said softly. My eyes widened and I quickly took off my seatbelt before wrapping my arms around Alessio’s neck, taking him by surprise, as I hugged him tightly. He kissed my jawline before wrapping his own arms around my waist, pulling me on his lap despite us being inside the car, and softly kissed my lips “why didn’t you tell me?”“I didn’t think that you would be interested in finding out about such details” I said shyly. I looked down at my lap avoiding his eyes, but he softly put his finger under my chin and made me look at him. His beautiful silver-blue eyes staring
“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?&
