Eliana:

I wrapped my arms around my husband’s back, hugging him tightly. I kissed the black phoenix tattoo he had there before I laid my head on it.

He turned around and put his glass of whiskey on the table nearby, wrapping his arms around me as he embraced me. He kissed the crown of my head, allowing me to lay my head on his bare chest.

“A penny for your thoughts?” I asked. He got a call from Luka, and has been out here in the veranda since then, and though I knew that he most probably won’t tell me what it’s about as not to worry me, I was still curious. He looked down at me and smiled shaking his head in assurance, as I had expected earlier.

“It’s nothing, baby” Vladimir said softly “just a little stress from work”

“Do you want to tell me about it?” I asked running my finger over his chest. He smiled but shook his head, I simply nodded in respect to his decision “well

    Vladimir:I watched as Eliana walked out of the room before following her. The fact that I’ve hurt her the way that I did broke me more than she could imagine, but she wouldn’t understand that right now as she had every right to be angry with me to begin with. I was just surprised by her reaction, plus the fact of Viktor being home made my mind swarm with a million thoughts of why this was wrong.I found her sitting on the couch of the living room, her body curled in the blanket she had there as she scrolled through the channels for something to watch. I sat by her side making her raise an eyebrow before turning the TV off and turning to face me.“I’m sorry, Eliana, I didn’t mean to hurt you” I said looking her in the eye. Her eyes studied my expression before she nodded not saying a word. She turned to face the TV and went to grab the remote once again, but I put my hand over hers, stopping her “’Liana…&rdq

    Eliana:My eyes opened in a room, my vision blurred still blurry as I came back to my senses in a room which I didn’t recognize.It was a white room, and my right hand was cuffed to the bedside’s pole beside my head. However, I wouldn’t deny that the bed I was laying on was both comfortable and warm. A blanket was covering my body, reaching my chest.I tried sitting up, but my hand aching prevented me from doing so; therefore, I was forced to remain in my place, laying down as I looked around. My eyes caught sight of Vladimir who was sitting on a couch beside me, scrolling through his phone.“Vladimir?” It only took a second for me to realize that the man sitting by my side wasn’t my husband. His blue eyes meeting my brown ones earning a glare from me.“Sorry for cuffing you, but I figured that it would be safer to do so considering the fact that you could go on ahead trying to attack me the second you get

    Vladimir:“Ah, dearest brother, just the call I was waiting for” my hand shook as I heard my brother’s voice on the line. Luka’s eyes met mine and I knew that had it not been him holding my arm keeping me steady once he realized the worried state that I was suddenly in.“Viktor, I swear to…”“There’s no need to start swearing, brother, your wife is safe, for now at least” Viktor mocked. I clenched my fists as I heard his voice “your wife is coming with me, brother, and you have two choices if you actually want her to stay alive”“You are dead, Viktor, I give you my fucking word…”“Now, now, you never let me finish my sentence” Viktor said stopping me. His voice was too annoying for me to listen to at the moment; but I knew that I no longer had another option if he had my wife hostage with him. Both Luka and I started walking toward the now almost

    Eliana:I paced around the room that I was in as I waited for Viktor to come, my palm bleeding as I held a glass shard in it.Having changed into a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, I noticed that he brought most of my things from the airport. Everything was already fixed in my closet, and it didn’t take me long to find most of the outfits that Aurora, Audrey, and I bought before the honeymoon.I had to leave this place, and the one way to do it was run away, somehow.I knew that it would be filled with security, but he couldn’t just expect me to be as submissive and stay put while I watched him put my husband in a tough place.I heard the door’s knob twist and stood by the door, waiting for him to walk inside. He didn’t seem to notice me as he looked around the room before I pushed him against the door, holding the shard against his neck.“Really?” He asked as I made a small cut on his neck. It didn’t t

    Vladimir:“Everything has been deleted, boss, and the location has been traced” Alexis said and I nodded. Luka crossed his arms and waited for my order but I simply nodded at him to follow me.“You two, I want your eyes to be on that location, any camera around, everything in twenty-mile radius is to be watched” I ordered and both Alexis and Daniro nodded before Luka and I walked out of the room.“Are you seriously planning on leaving her there? If she’s crazy, you can’t share the same idiotic mind” Luka asked and I shook my head. I knew that he was being rational about his question, he knew that I was going through a mental war right now, he could see it in my eyes. But my beauty was right, if Viktor believed that he was winning; then he would back away somehow, and if I tried taking any action that was against that; I might be risking my beauty’s safety, and that wasn’t something that I could think of

    Eliana:“Can I know where you’re taking me?” I asked as Viktor put his hand on my lower back, guiding me through the long halls of whatever building we were in. I could swear that we were walking in some kind of palace, and no matter how many rooms we crossed, we would be passing through a hall to enter through another huge room. The interiors were different in every room making me think that we were going inside through different buildings.“You need to eat something, and I can’t trust you with utensils in your bedroom”“You can bring plastic ones if not”“You’ll still find a way to use them as a weapon” Viktor teased. I had to fight back laughing at his words before we walked inside one of the rooms. My eyes widened at its size, but I quickly recomposed myself. The smell of food hit my nostrils, I had to admit that it was both satisfying and disturbing as the urge to throw up grew stronge

    Vladimir:“Dad, you and mom have been married for almost thirty years” I said looking at dad who raised an eyebrow at me “you know I suck at this, but you and I both know that you would be losing yourself without her”“Your wife is kidnapped, and here you are worried about my and your mom’s marriage?” dad asked “what are you playing at, Vladimir?”“She’s fine, for now at least, but I also need your help in something” I said making dad frown in confusion “first, we’ll discuss you and mom”“Vladimir…”“Dad, I can’t let the two of you lose one another after everything you’ve been through” I said looking him in the eye. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he listened to me, I knew that I tended to be harsh at times, and drove him crazy over the years. But the old man supported me with everything he could, and

    Eliana:“So?” I asked Viktor who stayed quiet as he studied my expression. The man looked as if he was having a mental battle with himself, and for a second, I believed that he was.He opened his mouth to speak when the door was knocked breaking our conversation as the doctor walked inside with a paper in her hand. She handed him the paper before walking to me, her eyes remaining on the IV as she removed it from my hand, her expression gentle.“You need to be sure to watch out for your nutrition, and be sure to take the prescribed vitamins, other than that. You should be good” she explained. I nodded not saying a word, watching as she walked out again leaving Viktor and I alone in the room. His eyes studying my expression as he fought to find the proper words to explain what he wanted to say.“You do know that I don’t bite, Viktor” I said raising an eyebrow.“That can’t necessarily be true, as y

    “Boss, it’s for you” the secretary said walking toward her boss. The one man that everyone feared, the mysterious man known as the enemy of all mafia families “it’s your son” He nodded at his secretary to leave the office, leaving him to talk to his son. The woman knew not to let her boss repeat himself twice. She knew the consequence of defying the man. He wasn’t a normal one anyway, a normal boss would fire his employee. This man would do it literally. “Leonardo” he said answering his son. His eldest son, his and his love’s first born. The man’s blessing and curse. The one person he knew that he would be willing to die for, well, that was in the past anyway. He wasn’t so sure about that now. “You sent me a message to call, Lorenzo” he said calmly. He didn’t like calling his father, the man knew that for fact. Having blamed him for not living with his mother, then hearing of her death after years of waiting to be reunited with her. The man wanted nothing mor

    Eliana:“Be sure to call us when you arrive, yeah?” I asked hugging Kiara.“Don’t worry, love, we’ll call. Plus, now I have an excuse to pop up at LA every once and a while” Kiara teased and I laughed “you have an English sister by your side whenever you need me. Just one call, and I’ll be here by your side, yeah?”“Thank you, for everything, really” I said hugging her again. I watched as Vladimir and Nikolay said their goodbyes before Nikolay walked toward me. His eyes gentle, and his smile genuine as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a tight hug.“Stay safe, Eliana, and be sure not to get kidnapped again” he teased. I laughed pulling away from the hug watching as he cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead “we’ll be coming back and forth, and I’m sure the same would go for your family. Whenever you need anything, just let us know, you have a fam

    Vladimir:I wrapped my arms around my wife, holding her to my chest.“A penny for your thoughts?” She asked looking up at me. It’s been days since her breakdown, and despite her not shedding a tear in front of anyone. I was glad that she trusted me enough to open up to me.“I was wondering whether or not you wanted us to leave town for a few days. Just you and me, away, on the beach?” I asked looking down at her. She raised herself to look at me, and despite her love for the beach, she shook her head.I sighed but didn’t say a word to object knowing that she was still mourning. I wouldn’t lie when I said that I didn’t like her mourning over a man that did everything in his power to break every spec of confidence she ever had in her. But I couldn’t expect her to just live, move on, and forget that the man was her brother after all. She grew up with him, and no matter what she tried convincing herself ab

    Eliana:I washed my face trying to wake myself from the trance that I was falling into. The pain that I was in, everything which was eating me alive. My husband who didn’t want to look at me, him holding me the way he did…I shook my head at myself, snapping myself out of it. I walked toward the bed and laid on it, gripping the blanket tightly as to keep myself safe from the world. I didn’t know what I was expecting next, and Ian’s words kept playing in my head as I tried closing my eyes.“Eliana…” Vladimir’s voice broke my heart, partly because of what he had heard, and because of what happened. I felt the bed dip beside me as he sat down beside me. He slowly removed the blanket from over my shoulder, revealing my face; however, I closed my eyes and turned around, giving him my back.Vladimir sighed and ran his finger over my bruising arm, where he had gripped it “I’m sorry, malyshka”

    Vladimir:Eliana and I walked toward the basement’s door and I sighed when Eliana stopped a few steps back as not to hear her brother’s bone shattering.Riley was upstairs in her playing room with Grace and Kiara, and the TV was loud enough as for her not to hear what was happening down here.“Eliana…”“Vladimir, I want to go and see him” Eliana said stopping me. I froze for a second not sure if I had heard what she said right. Her eyes met mine and I could see the seriousness in her expression “I have to hear this from him, Vladimir”“Eliana, what are you going to hear from him? More specifically, would you be able to look at him?” I asked. Eliana stopped for a second to think, before nodding.“I am sure, Vladimir. I wouldn’t be able to live with this if I don’t hear this from him, and whether or not I’ll be able to handle the vision; I don’t kn

    Eliana:“We aren’t the ones who are practically kicked out of the house” I heard the maids mock inside the kitchen.“One more word and I will be sure to rip your tongues off” Aurora snarled.“Do try, you know, boss wants you out of the house…”“What is the meaning of this mockery?” I asked walking inside the kitchen. The girls who were watching as Aurora cut the onions. Their hands which were crossed over their chests, and their heads which were held high lowered to their feet as they avoided my eyes. None of them opened their mouths to speak, and Aurora continued to chop the onions for tonight’s dinner.“Rather than working, you’re choosing to mock a family member?” I asked angrily. I could hear Aurora stop chopping, though she made no attempt to turn to face me.“We apologize, M’lady…”“Pack your things, and thankful t

    Vladimir:“Well, well, well, if it isn’t our beloved snake” I said entering the basement where Ian was locked. Luka, Nikolay, Viktor, dad, Dimitri, Richard, Sebastian, and I were inside while the girls waited for whatever we were to tell them when we walked out. I knew that Audrey wanted to be here, but I was going to give it a while before I’ve allowed her to walk inside. There were still answers that I wanted to get.“Ah, boss decided to arrive. What happened? Couldn’t find what you were looking for?” Ian smirked.“If you’re referring to your boss, then I’ve found what I needed, for now. However, I was to make sure that you begged to die before I watched you bleed to death” I whispered to the man before dragging my knife along his jawbone. The man fought to stay quiet, but I could tell by his shivering that he was already frightened of whatever fate I decided to give him.“Now, I&rs

    Eliana:I watched as my husband walked inside the hotel suite where I was sitting with Luka waiting for him in the living room. My hands were crossed over my chest as I sat after growing tired of pacing around the room like some psychotic woman who was on the verge of killing someone.Vladimir smiled at me and wrapped his arms around me when I got up and walked toward him. He kissed the crown of my head and I laid my head on his chest, right over his beating heart, relaxing in his embrace.We pulled away to look at one another and Vladimir cupped my cheek, softly pecking my lips. Luka got up and crossed his arms over his chest, waiting to hear what happened since he was sent here with me. The poor man has been bearing with my rant since then, well, it wasn’t technically a rant, it was just me snapping at myself for being a fool and believing whatever anyone has told me.“Two were dead, the rest are on our sides…” Vladimir told Luk
