DIMITRI'S POV
"сколько
временинужно, чтобызаставитьегоговорить?You asked me to let you handle things and I did but as usual you couldn't even get the job done!!Doesn't he have a family or relatives you can use as an incentive to make him talk?" I questioned.{How long does it take to get him speak}
"What do you think?? I have checked his records,every single thing about him,he doesn't have a family,nobody!! I have tortured the life out of him but he didn't speak.
У васестькакие-либопредложениядорогойдядя??" he asked mockingly{Do you
SNOW'S POV I didn't let her speak, I couldn't answer her questions now. "Why the hell did I get so carried away??" My lips still tingled with the lingers of her kiss and I've been shamelessly adjusting my jeans for a while now, trying to hide the evidence of my desire.I remember the look on her face when she saw her accomplice, she was happy, sad, grateful and angry at the same time. "How the hell did she get under my skin??" The raging hormones in my body made me feel like a teenager again and I know there's no overcoming this, it has to be sated. "di cosa sento parlare??"A familiar voice startled me as I rounded a corner. {What is this I hear about?} "When did you get back?? How was you trip??"I asked, wrapping my arms around him. "It went well. I took care of the problem. Everything is running smoothly now."he replied breaking
I could feel Enzo's confused glare drilling holes at the back of my head. Can't blame the poor man, he's been on the receiving end of my temper for a couple of days. It's quite unfortunate he always comes around me when I'm irritated or annoyed.I stifled a groan as I walked into my office. Piles of paperwork and reports greeted me, throwing myself into work seemed like a good way to get my mind off things for a while soI settled in, determined to finish everything before day break.The gentle golden rays of the morning filled the study gradually. I hadn't slept a wink throughout the night, tiredness settled in my body and a thick migraine hammered in my head threatening to crush my skull. I had gone through reports and added some inputs on upcoming mergers with my assistant Vincenzo. I walked out of the study and headed for my room to take a bath and get some rest. There was no one in sight, actually this floor was meant for just me and now, Roselle.
ACE'SPOVI had tried really hard to get rid of my anger last night but like always,I couldn't. For many years,I've learnt to put my blood lust in check because of this family; my family.Sometimes I feel that I am not being fair to Snow. He's being a true friend since my childhood, always fighting to keep me out of danger and a true brother even though I was adopted.I remember the numerous times I landed myself in trouble trying to start a mafia war with the Russians when papa was still alive, he always took the blame upon himself and bore the consequences for my rash actions. He'd made me promise him not to start a war because of our family and I know he wouldn't forgive me if I did anything that would hurt the mafia. I've considered leaving the mafia so that I can sate my thirst for revenge but the thought of leaving him alone without anyone to look after him or support him didn't let me.Dimitri Vladimir has never
ROSELLE'S POVI would have loved to stay with Kim today. He's in terrible shape and hasn't regained consciousness but Mr grumpy said I have to be ready in an hour. I hurried into the bathroom to freshen up then I threw on an oversized sweatpants and a hoodie and headed downstairs. Enzo was already waiting for me and a handsome blondie beside him who I assumed to be Stephan was smiling warmly at me."Bonjournobella"he said pulling me into a hug.I stared back at him in confusion, trying to understand what he was saying."Sorry.. I don't speak Italian"I said frowning a bit."Uhmm.. he means good morning"Enzo explained, giving Stephan a nudge."Good morning"I replied with a smile"We have to get going before Snow comes downstairs."Stephan said."Who's Snow??"
ACE'S POVI tapped gently on the door, patiently waiting for an answer but nothing came."Can I come in ma'am?"I requested, knocking a little bit harder."Yes you can"a soft voice replied.I pushed open the door and stepped in, staring at the tiny lady leaning on the window frame whose physique and voice didn't match that of a thirty year old."Was Snow just pulling my legs?? This lady looked small from behind and her pale white skin looked too young and youthful to belong to a lady in her mid-thirties"I thought."Hi!! I'm Ace, Snow's younger brother and I'd love to have a talk with you. That's if it's ok with you??"I requested trying not to sound rude to the woman."You sure don't sound anything like that grumpy brother of yours"she replied and turned around to stare at me.Time froze as I stared at those big bright blue eyes. My heart
Being shot in the stomach and left to bleed out on a cold wet pavement, in a dark alley is certainly not one of the ways I wanted to die. The pain, the cold and the fear of what will come afterwards was undeniably frightening. My vision began to fail and I struggled hard to stay awake, to keep my heart beating.. I can't die just yet, I have lots of scores to settle, a lot of wrongs to correct. I need to get VENGEANCE!!!. They say love is an emotion that can make even dead hearts beat again but I think hate is even more stronger. As I chanted the names of my debtors like a mantra, I found the will and strength to fight and stay conscious. This time, they wouldn't see me coming and I sure as hell wouldn't give them time to prepare.
The beautiful sun rays peaked lightly through the curtains into my brightly colored room. My blow drier vibrated in my palm as I did a mental countdown of my everyday morning routine before school . My bed side clock gleamed brightly at me and I sighed using my slender fingers to even out the invincible creases on my school uniform. I was dreading the fact that it'll only be a matter of minutes before the usual morning crises starts all over again. I tapped my foot impatiently, staring at my reflection once more in the beautiful French dresser in my room. "Come here Roselle!! Mummy's running late. Don't be a naughty girl sweet heart, we've got to make it to school in five!!" My mother's voice boomed loudly throughout the house I searched frantically around the room, racking my brain for a new place to hide, one nobody would think of easily and a mischievous grin worked it's way
"Wake up sleepy head!! Happy birthday Rose. Wake up!!", Royce keeps jumping repeatedly on my bed and screaming at a high pitch like a mad man. I drag my fluffy covers over my head and press them gently against my ears, trying to keep his deafening screams out. I sigh in relief when the sound goes down a few pitches but my satisfaction is short-lived because he drags the covers harshly away from my body. "Go away..." I groan, turning away from him. "Wake up rose or we're going to be late" he continues "Go away Royce.. I don't want to go to school today" I complain sleepily, burying my head into my pillows "You don't have a choice Rose. You have to wake up or I'll pour a cup of water in your ears" he threatened angrily. "Do whatever you want, but I'm not going to school today" I replied stifling a yaw

KIM'SPOVHow many times have I gone unconscious???I've lost count...How many times have I bitten down on my tongue to avoid ratting on Roselle???I don't even know...I miss her, I miss my family and I wish I could just sink into oblivion and never have to feel anything again but each time I go close to embracing death, I'm pulled away harshly and forced into reality; reality I was trying desperately hard to escape.My whole body was sore all over. My eyes were swollen, my lips were bursted open, my fingers were stripped bare of it's nails and ugly punctures from screws and deep cuts from a rusty scalpel decorated the flesh. Fever broke out all over my body, hunger and thirst threatened to rip my insides into shreds and the stench of ammonia and urine made my head hammer with a terrible migraine."Hey you worthless piece of shit, wake up!!"
ROSELLE'S POV I don't know why I did what I did.I don't know why I told him everything.I don't know why I decided to trust him.I could be putting my life and Kim's in more danger.He could be as vile and disgusting as Richard and his uncle Dimitri.But I also knewtelling him everything was my only chance of getting out of here.I couldn't even lie, he'd know.Maybe I was a fool for doing what I did, but every ticking second was a sharp needle pricking my conscience and reminding me of just how much I had failed Kim. I haven't even told Kim everything, if there's anyone who deserve to know the entire truth, it was him.He strived desperately to fix me, to knit my shattered parts together, he deserved it and I gave it to a stranger. Of course I knew he wasn't going to keep his part of the deal.I&nb
SNOW'S POV"Come with me!!"The command bounced in my head like a tennis ball." What was I about to do??"Seeing her thrashing wildly on the bed a few minutes ago unlocked a feral part in my heart, one that wanted to protect her like a fucking jewel.Her erratic heartbeat, her laboured breaths and the blazing fire in those blue eyes made desire wash through my body like a volcano.I know she is connected to Richard in someway or the other. She was begging him to not kill her in her sleep.I am also aware of the fact that most people relive traumatic experiences they've been through in their dreams.was she part of his soldiers ??That didn't make any sense. If she was part of his army she would not be after them.Maybe she was a partner that he offended ...Wait!! Had he tried to kill her???Was that why she was after the Russians?
