"When are you proposing to Mila?... If you leave her with a baby, I'll bury you six ft under the ground."He warned. "Dude, she is so cranky nowadays. She gets irritated whenever I try to talk to her..."Michelle huffed."This woman is so complicated...""What happened?"Mila whispered to Vera. Vera rolled her eyes."Ego got hurt and knuckles suffered..."She whispered back.Mila suppressed her smile."And he let the woman treat it who hurt it in the first place..."She nodded and sighed."I don't understand this man... Why fuck up in the first place when you are going to regret it.""Ex
Author's POV"Veronica?"Sayesha called but Vera was lost in her world. She was thinking about something else, completely forgetting that her hot coffee is slowly getting cold. Sayesha sighed scrunching her nose and knowing that Vera wasn't listening to her."Vera!"She scolded and Vera flinched. "What's wrong with you, woman!?""I am so sorry..."Vera shook her head and took a sip of her coffee. "I was just zoned out.""What happened?"Sayesha frowned, sensing tension in her behaviour. "You know you can share with me, right?"Vera smiled at Sayesha, They are best friends since medical studies and she was always her well wisher. Unlike Vera, Sayesha is fierce and lady boss of her own life and Vera admires that about her. "Have your husband has ever threatened you to kill a man who looks at you?"Vera asked. Sayesha smirked."Ohh, Daddy material!... I want to meet your husband, interesting character.""He wasn't bluffing, he was serious and you know he can do that..."Vera repli
Veronica's POVFuck, he is behind me. He is here.I stared at the ring in my hand, well this is really big and it's not my style but this fucking Sayesha. What do I tell Vlad now, that... Hey, I was wasting your money on things which I don't need. And why did he buy the whole damn Shopping mall on my name. Maybe to save taxes and hide his Black money.But still, whole fucking mall!"Hey!"Sayesha got up.Sit down woman, you have created enough problems for me. I turned around to look at them. And my stomach churned when I found his eyes on me. It always does something to me. He is mischievous, like something is amusing for him. "Don't mind, We were trying to have girls time... And we did some shopping. I hope you don't mind."Sayesha said in her flirty voice. He won't fall for it. Any other man would do but not Vlad. "Afterall it's like taking bucket from the pond."She teased. Vlad looked at our shopping bags and then at me. Fuck, I am seriously fucked up. I have spent so much
Veronica's POVHe looks like a star when soft moonlight touches his face. He tilted his head up and took a sip of his wine. Is this man real? Because he really looks like a fallen angel, despite the fact that he is the devil inside.He knows that I am looking at him and I don't care. "I never thought I would get married."He is still looking at the sky while twirling his wine in the glass."Never liked the thought of sharing my life with someone. Letting them invade my privacy but I knew that it's bound to happen because I need to give the heir to my Empire... I always thought that there will be some girl who will marry me for my reputation and power and I'll marry her just for an obligation..."I listened to him."The thought was scary because I am not the man who value people. There are only few people about whom I care and that's it."I took a sip of my wine and let him talk. I know he is not expressive and it's really good to see him speaking his heart. He is not making eye cont
Veronica's POVI opened my eyes to look at the clear sky and happy morning. It feels new. I sighed in satisfaction when cool Breeze fanned my face. Vlad has really started changing and I am glad about it. Not like I love to break relationships but I had to send him divorce notice because this wasn't going to work out. He hurt me really bad. But he is trying, he doesn't want to give up and I appreciate that. I turned my head to look at him. His eyes are already on me and it made me gasp. "Creep!"I tried to calm down my breathing. We are still tangled in bedsheets and with each other. His hand is firm against my waist. "I am admiring my wife... It's called love not creepy."He chuckled. He grabbed my thigh and gently pulled me closer making me realise that I am sore. We hardly slept for an hour or two. He lazily groaned in my neck and kissed there making my cheeks go red. How can someone sound so sexy while groaning?On top of that he is shirtless and I can see his back flexin
Author's POV "I can't let you go to Italy... You know the reason, Grace..."Vlad sat beside her. "But I want to explore... It's been a year. I need to collect pieces of my life..."She said."Italy was never a part of your life... And it never will be."He replied."I know you want to protect me... But how long?... You can't always protect me and keep me in this house... Vlad, I don't know how to survive out there without you or my bodyguard... What is my identity?... I don't feel like an Individual..."Grace pleaded. "Not Italy, Grace!"He shook his head."They don't even know me... No one knows that I am your sister.."She argued. "They know that I have a sister and wife and I care about them... No arguments, Grace. You are not going there..."He scolded."And they will know the moment you step on their land... Alexander is thirsty for my blood and he will do anything to hurt me.""Fine, keep me caged here like an animal..."Grace said and looked away. Vera looked at Vlad and u
Author's POV"I don't know..."Vlad answered.Vera looked at him shocked."Are you behind this?""Before you blame me, let me tell you that I am not behind this... I know how much you believe in self worth..."He replied."I just got the news from hospital committee...""How can they make me MD of the hospital?"She asked in disbelief. "Zen was MD..."She called Zen."Zen, what the hell is this?"Vlad snatched her phone and put it on speaker, Vera could see the jealousy in his eyes. "Congratulations!"Zen said."What's the meaning of this?"Vera asked."I am leaving, Vera..."Zen replied."I can't see you with Vladimir... It hurts to see the treasure you have lost in someone else's hand. I can't see you with him, I can't see the love you carry in your heart for him... It hurts to know that once that love was mine and I couldn't treasure it."Vlad clenched his jaw. "But I know that you love him and he is the person who can protect you... I hate to admit it but Vladimir know your wor
Author's POV"Stop it, Vera... "Vlad closed his eyes to hide his frustration. "What are you asking for impossible things... ""She needs to know, Vlad..."Vera replied desperately. "You are keeping her in the dark... I am her doctor, I have seen her mumbling his name in sleep. She loves him.""And I am her brother, I know what I am doing... "He glared at her. "I don't expect this from you... ""You are turning a blind eye. You are doing this because you hate them but think about it, Vlad... What if she remembers everything and wants to go back... They were the biggest part of her life... We are being unfair to Grace."Vera gasped when he jerked her forward by arms."He abused her... You are still not forgiving me for emotional damage I did to you. He abused her emotionally and physically. Tell me, would you have forgiven him if you were in her place... ""We don't know their story... You can't judge them on the basis of few things you have heard... I didn't find any mark of phys

"You are looking like a goddess..."Vera was wearing Indian lehanga. mix of white and red colour was going perfectly with her complexion. "Which one?.. There are many goddess in Indian culture."Bella teased. "Well, she is almost ready but there is one thing pending..."She handed him anklets. "It's a ritual, husband need to tie it around wife's ankels...""Thanks, I'll take it from here..."Vlad showed her the door and she scowled at him. "Asshole! "She rolled her eyes and walked out. "I'll take it as a compliment!"Vlad chuckled behind her. "Why are you so mean to her? "Vera slapped his chest. "She is not an innocent doll..."He snaked his hand around her waist, Vera blushed when he felt warm against her bare skin. Her waist wasn't covered due to the gap in her lehanga and blouse.
Vladimir's POVThings men do for love! I never thought that I'll agree to stay in my enemies house just because my lovely wife wants me to. Well, enemies are not really feeling like enemies now. There are people meaner than them, my own stepmother and stepbrother tried to kill me many times. Ivan tried to kill Vera just to get back at me and here Marinos are protecting her. People who were supposed to be my enemies. I was very doubtful about Grace's decision. But when I saw her laughing her with them, the way she is loved in this house, the way he is treating her, it's relieving. She is safe here more than she was with me. I hate to admit it but these people knows how to love, love to which I was stranger until Vera came into my life. Women really turns the house into home. Do we really fail to see real faces that much? Often the people we think are bad turns out to be good and those which we think are good turns out evil.

"I have never hurt your women... Don't blame me for other's doings... "He sighed. He could understand that they all are hurt due to whatever happened to their mother. "You trapped Bella and her child in fire.."Dom accused. "I was the one who didn't let her hurt in that... It was just to distract you all... I could never hurt an innocent woman with baby... Even though she is little annoying."He took a sip of his drink. "I hope this is not poisoned... ""I would do worse than just poisoning you..."Dom scowled. "You almost killed me twice... "Vlad looked at him. "You deserved that and I know you can't deny it... You
Author's POVVeronica woke up in pain. It was better than last day but she is still suffering. Grace helped her to freshen up and change her clothes. "They are so cute...

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you here. I really missed you."They both heard giggling voice and looked at the door. "Alexandra... Come here baby."Grace picked her up and placed on the bed. "You guys have so many babies... "Vera chuckled. "Yeah, and Bella is expecting again."Grace cheered. "I wish, Vlad could see them... I know he wants to but you know him."She sighed. "He will be here, don't worry! "Grace assured. Vera shook her head. "He won't come here... You know him... His pride is everything for him. He will find another ways to get me but won't come here because he knows that Dominick will take advantage of it.
Author's POVAnamika looked at the injured woman and old memories hit her heart. "Is she... "She couldn't complete the sentence. "No, she is not... "Dominick placed his hand on her shoulder. "Why don't you go to your room and rest... I'll handle it.""I am fine... I'll stay here... If she needs anything. "Anamika said. "We are here, don't worry. "Raan assured. "Go!"Dominick said and Anamika walked out. "Ribs are not broken but badly injured... You need a bed rest until it's healed completely. "The doctor said. He gave her medicines and left. "Vera!

Author's POVVeronica closed her eyes tightly when dust of fallen door fanned her face. Andrew's eyes snapped towards the door and he stilled. He had no idea that he will see the man face to face. He was still on top of Veronica, squeezing her hands mercilessly. Poor girl was terrified under him. Andrew got up in fear and stepped back from Vera. Vera opened her eyes when his weight disappeared from her body. She looked at the man who broke the door and her eyes widened. He stepped towards her and she tried to crawl back in pain. She thought he is there to hurt her. "Don't move, you will hurt yourself even more."He took off his coat and covered her half naked body. Vera hissed when her chest hurt due to movements. She couldn't understand why is he helping her. "Alex, I can't... "She groaned in pain. "I am not Alex. "He answered and her eyes snapped open. She looked at his face carefully and noticed his blue eyes. "Dominick? "She mumbled. "Happy realisation... "Dominick
Veronica's POVI don't know if I should cry or laugh. How do I make him understand that he is digging his own grave. In fact he won't get grave either, I doubt that Vlad will leave his body for that. I don't know where I am, but at least I am not in a basement or something. It's a house with no windows. I can't even see the trace of sunlight, I don't know in which part of Russia he has kept me captive. I brought my knees to my chest and sighed. I need to get out of here. He knocked on the door, ohh! So he is showing manners by knocking on the door. I scoffed. He entered inside and I tried to calm down my breathing. It's ok,Vera. He is Josh, you know him. You can handle the situation. "How are you feeling? "He sat beside me and asked like he haven't just kidnapped me. I don't even know how long I was passed out or did he do something to me while I was unconscious. I felt nauseous just with the thought. "Your neck must be hurting. "He handed me a cold bag and I kept it on my ne
Veronica's POV"I love you"I looked at him with smile when he said that but I couldn't reply to that. I just couldn't! He looked at me with pain in his eyes and I looked away. It's been months and I am still not able to confess my love for him. Something stops me, may be his betrayal or his past lies. Sometimes I say it but he instantly realizes it that I don't mean it and he doesn't want to hear it from me unless I am saying it with my heart. I am just facing difficulties, I know he loves me but whatever happened in the past is something which has left deep wounds on my heart and ability to express. I want to stay with Vlad. I know he is trying hard to be a better man for me but I need my time to become old Vera. "I'll hear it from you soon... "He kissed my head and sighed. "I need to go to the hospital today... "I got up while fixing my shirt, which is basically his shirt. "I'll drop you. "He sat up. "No, I don't want to bother you. "I mumbled. I gasped when he pulled
Veronica's POVHe literally took my challenge seriously and now I can't even move my legs. Fuck, It's sore. We didn't stop at one round. As soon as I recovered from my orgasm, he started it again and at the end of the night, I forgot the count. Sun is already out and I have slept for only two hours. Vlad was rough but he didn't hurt me. I wanted to make him relax, I know he is hurting. He loves Grace so much. I had no idea that Grace has called Dominick to take her away. It means she knew that he is alive, she was just trying to know if she could trust me. Guess, Grace is not that naive. She knows when to play. "Good morning... "Vlad squeezed my thigh and I hissed. "What happened? "I pushed his hand away. "It's sore. "He smirked and gently rubbed my thighs. "You asked for it. "He pulled me closer and kissed my head while rubbing my back. "Aren't you mad at me? "I mumbled. "For what? "He asked and covered me with bedsheets. "Because I hid her pregnancy. "I closed my
