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:“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
“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
"Vladimir, I am not going to sit around while you..." Eliana snapped at her husband."You cannot expect me to sell you to the man, Eliana. That is out of question, so no!" Vladimir said glaring at his wife."We need to get inside, Vladimir. You and I both know that's the only way to do it"***************It started out with a marriage.A simple contract signed.But when their love conquers even the mafia's darkest desire of revenge.Things start taking a different path.Both Eliana and Vladimir Romanov would be forced into a war like no other. It is one of power, strength, and money.And remember, the Mafia's world only has one rule "there is no rule to follow when it comes to power"Would they be able to do what it takes?Will their love strive to survive through it all?Or would both crumble under it?
Eliana:I kept my eyes on the paper that I just signed.My wedding contract.“Congratulations to our new groom and bride” My father announced proudly. Of course he would be, the man was forcing me into a marriage for a stupid peace between him and this family. The two families couldn’t just simply stop their fights, no, they had to wed me and their don, their eldest son, Vladimir Romanov.The man’s brown eyes avoided mine as they remained fixed on his own parents. His father may have been alive, but the man had resigned his position a few years ago to his son.Vladimir took my hand in his as the music started and I had to fight back glaring at him, knowing that everyone was now watching us. We both walked to the dance floor as to have our first dance, the glare my father gave me for not smiling told me that he would be making sure that I regretted making any wrong move. He had promised me to pay for the consequence with my l
Vladimir:I glared at my ringing phone as I stood beside the backdoor of the wedding hall.“What do you want, Viktor?” I asked the second I answered the phone.“What? Can’t a man congratulate his twin brother on getting married?” He asked in a mocking tone. I could already imagine him smirking at the fact of him ticking a nerve.“I don’t know how you found out about this wedding, nor do I care at this very moment…”“Of course, you don’t” he said casually “but anyway, congratulating you isn’t the only reason I called”“What is it this time? Do you plan on selling weapons to us? Has your little gang lost it’s clients?”“Funny, but I don’t associate myself with people I intend to kill, you know, I don’t eat with a person to kill him a while later”“That is why I am don, and you are nothing but
Eliana:I walked into the room which Maria, Vladimir’s mum had showed me to.The flight was a long one, and I couldn’t help but want to fall asleep the second I entered the house. Thankfully, Maria had prepared the room for me knowing that Vladimir and I wouldn’t be sharing a room. We had both made it clear enough that we didn’t want anything from one another. Well, that of course didn’t mean that my own family knew of this.Father would be having my head if he finds out that I wasn’t ‘pleasing’ my husband, and his own term of pleasing wasn’t a mutual agreement between the couple. He had sent me as a wife to a man who he knew could easily break every bone in my body, he believed that he was ruthless, and he wanted me to suffer for simply being born.“Is there anything that you need, Eliana?” Maria asked softly. I smiled and shook my head not wanting to trouble her, she had done enough for m
Vladimir:“Fuck” I hissed before coming undone. My eyes screwing shut as my body tensed.The woman, Nina, shrieked under me as she reached her point before I pulled out of her.My chest rose and fell as I caught my breath and Nina smiled laying on top of me, her finger running over my chest as I wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her to me. I smiled down at her as she laid her head over my racing heart.“I thought that I wouldn’t be seeing you again” she spoke after a while of silence. Her brown hair curled over my chest slightly tickling me.“Now, why would you think that?” I asked looking down at the woman who smiled at me.“Well, with the rumors that have spread…”“They weren’t rumors” I said stopping her. Her eyes widened and she tensed for a second before nodding.“So, it is true that you got married” she stated. I raised an eye
Eliana:I brushed my hair after taking a shower as I waited for it to dry.I have been isolated in my bedroom since Vladimir got here. As far as I was concerned, he was out banging a different woman, and that was something that was something that I didn’t want to think of.The fact my father could hear of this worried me. The man would have my head without even blinking, and the funny part was, I would have no say about it. He gave me his conditions; it was me who wasn’t following my part. At least, that is what they would all be telling me.The bedroom door was knocked making me frown in confusion before calling “come in”The door opened and Audrey walked inside carrying a tray in her hands making my eyes widen. I quickly got up and took the tray from her, setting it down on the dresser. Looking at it, I was surprised when I saw hot chocolate, cookies, and brownies.“I figured you might want something sweet. Th

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.

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
