Alessio:
“Do you want us to go back to the hotel? Or would you rather go and get something to eat?” I asked Kiara who was laying her head on my arm as the two of us sat in the backseat of my car. Lyov had come a while ago to get the car Kiara took and headed back to the hotel leaving both me and Kiara where we were.
“I don’t want to go back to the hotel for a while, Alessio” she said sleepily. Everything was too exhausting on her, I was well aware of that. Thomas and Grace were staying at the hotel, the pair wouldn’t rest until they spoke to Kiara and were assured that she was okay, and that I was with her.
“Well, do you want us to go somewhere else? The sun is already rising. So, do you want us to go and wait for some place to open to have breakfast? Or do you want me to book us a different hotel room?” I asked gently. Kiara shrugged and I sighed, despite her and I somewhat making up, I knew that she was nowhere n
Kiara:Arriving to the Estate was never this hectic.But then again, I was never this broken going anywhere. I had regretted going to Moscow and finding out what I did, despite me not saying it out loud. But I knew that Alessio could tell that I eventually just wanted everything to end. Thankfully, he didn’t dwell or pressure me on speaking about anything while we were there.My heart ached whenever I thought of everything that I found out, and no matter how hard I tried not to think of it; I always found my mind going back to what I heard from Ashton. Ivan had not killed him when we went back to the hotel the next evening, and had waited for Alessio to do the honor. But Ashton had other plans, he wanted ME to be the one shooting him, I couldn’t do it.I looked at the gun which was in Alessio’s hand and shook my head at him, I didn’t want the man’s blood on my hands, no matter how much I hated him. Alessio respected my decisi
Alessio:I woke up with Kiara laying on top of me on my mom’s couch.My right arm was wrapped around her while my left was under my head as I slept.The two of us spent hours talking in this room, and one way or the other, we ended up dozing off on the couch.I smiled at the sight of my beauty and tightened my arm around her making her stir in her sleep before she opened her eyes to look at me. She smiled when her eyes caught my own, and I cupped her cheek bringing her closer to me as to kiss her lips. She smiled into the kiss before pulling away to look me in the eye.“Please don’t tell me you spent the whole night awake?” Kiara teased and I laughed. I didn’t blame her though, the first time she broke down back in Moscow after we killed Ashton, she fell asleep due to exhaustion while I spent the whole night awake. I shook my head and she laid her head on my chest, just over my beating heart.I didn’t even
Kiara:My heart raced against my ribcage as I heard the three words escape Alessio’s lips.Partly because I’ve been feeling the same for a while, an even longer while than before we started dating, and partly because I didn’t expect to hear them from him. Knowing who he was, I didn’t expect him to have a soft side for me to begin with when I met him, him falling in love with me was the last thing I could have ever thought of.He ran his fingers over my lower back as he looked me in the eye, his eyes filled with love, admiration, and understanding “you don’t have to say it back, malyshka. I wanted to say it as to let you know that you’re not alone…”I stopped Alessio by kissing him, I realized that I had taken him by surprise as it took him a few seconds to kiss me back. His palm cupping my cheek as he wrapped his left arm around me, bringing me closer and deepening the kiss. The two of us pulled away
Alessio:“What’s the problem, Ivan?” I asked my friend who had called both me and Kiara from the stable.It’s been three months since I brought her horse for her.The two of us have been going to the stable on a daily basis.“Yeah, I think it’s more than just a minor problem” Ivan said showing both me and Kiara the security camera which was at the front gate of the Estate. Both Kiara and I frowned in confusion when we noticed the man who was trying to get inside, the security men must have called Ivan about the stranger who was trying to enter the house.“How?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion.“He must have kept the location of the Estate for when he was tracking your phone” Ivan said looking at Kiara who ran her fingers through her hair. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her temple “what are we going to do?”“Alessio, we can’t let him in
Kiara:I walked out of the Estate with Natasha by my side. My heart racing against my ribcage as I feared what was to come, and despite not wanting to admit it; I was not ready to confront my father. I knew that my emotions would end up getting the best of me.“Relax” Natasha whispered to me. I nodded at her and was thankful that she had come with me, I wouldn’t have been able to face him alone, I just knew it.She had refused to let me go alone, and Ivan even threatened to lock her up in the bedroom. She eventually won the argument when she told him that he would be sleeping on the couch for a week, the living room couch might I add. That was something that had him give in almost instantly, and Alessio didn’t put up much of a fight anyway, it wasn’t like he was okay with me going to begin with. I knew that if it were up to him, I would be staying miles away from dad. But the man is still my father, and taking it that he doesn&rsquo
Alessio:I paced around the hall in front of the infirmary room.“What the fuck happened? Why is there blood in front of the Estate’s gate? And what are you guys doing here?” Dad asked walking into the hall. His eyes were wide in surprise seeing us all sitting here in front of the infirmary door. His eyes caught sight of me and the worry in my eyes made him frown as his eyes searched the room for us.Me, Arda, Alexandra, Ivan, Natasha, Grace, and Thomas were all sitting while we waited. Dad’s eyes met mine for a second before he shook his head at me, looking at the infirmary room’s door “who’s inside the room, Alessio?”Artur’s eyes met mine and I shook my head at him, it hurt me needing to tell this to him. He had just started getting close, him finding out that she got shot too, that there is a slight risk on her life would drive him crazy. Especially since the man who had shot her almost shot his so
Kiara:Opening my eyes has never been this hard.The world felt like it was spinning, but I forced my eyes to open.“Take it easy, baby” I heard Alessio whisper to me. His lips kissed my knuckle which he ran his thumb over softly.I looked at him to find a weak smile on his face, one which concerned me as I tried to adjust to the dim light. I turned my hand in his and intertwined our fingers making him smile before he stood up and kissed my forehead. He pressed the nurse button beside my head before cupping my cheeks softly to kiss my lips. His lips gentle over mine as if he were to break me if he added anymore force.“How are you feeling?” Alessio asked and I rolled my eyes.“Like some tractor is walking on top of me, waiting for me to make a move for it to break every bone in my body” I said tiredly. I tried sitting up but Alessio put his hands on my shoulders, stopping me.“The wound is sti
Alessio: “It seems like we have a common enemy” I said calmly. We were currently at the Clinton Correctional Facility. The man, Nico De Luca, had been put in this prison by none other than Kyle Anderson. “What’s in it for me, Alessio?” Nico asked. His brown eyes meeting my blue ones, fear was known to surround him wherever he went, literally. He was a man of power, that much was known about him. What his deeds were was something that didn’t concern me at the moment, all I knew was that he loathed Kyle with every living cell he had in his system. “You get to watch the man die…” “And you?” “I don’t think that it concerns you” I said crossing my arms over my chest. He raised an eyebrow, the scar which was on his eye made him look a whole lot more intimidating. But frankly, I was one who was used to all the crap the world had, the bullets that I’ve taken were ones that risked my life more than once. Ivan who was standing behind me
“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?&
