"This is awesome" Jean whispered, staring at the magnificent ceiling of their hotel room."Tired?" Kamilla inquired amusingly as she leaned against the closed door.Jean had been happily rampaging around their room since they first entered it.Her fervent plea was answered, and she now shares a room with Kamilla. To add to her luck, they will not share with anybody else."I cannot believe such luxury could be possible for me. I feel like living the life of a Petrov heiress. You are my lucky charm, Ella. We have a suite room exclusively for the two of us. Not an ordinary room, but a suite room," she exclaims, turning to her side to face her."Perhaps they ran out of standard rooms. The entire hotel is packed with all their employees" Kamilla shrugged, walking to her bed.They did indeed get a suite room. There are two double beds, a luxury bathroom, a dining space, and a reception area. The fridge is stocked with drinks and delectable sweets that made Jean's mouth, waters. The coffee
"Are you sure you are okay, Ella?" for the nth time, Jean asked worriedly."Yes, I'm fine Jean" she assured her with a smile."I have taken a nap already, I will be fine" though she still felt bleak, the nap and a warm bath she took earlier helped to clear her mind. Despite her colleagues worries earlier, she had convinced them that she was merely tired and hungry. So, after a light snack, they requested that she rest. She actually drifted and was only woken up by Jean when it was time for them to prepare. Jean looked at her for a second before a smile spread across her lips. "Well, let us check you," she said, prompting Kamilla to turn to her. Her smile widened when she saw the results of their DIY. "You looked refreshingly gorgeous. This coat dress suits you perfectly. You will be the contrast from all the female guests later but you will undoubtedly stand out" Jean blurted out in awe. Contrary to the expected revealing gowns the attendees would wear at the party, Kamilla opt t
Following the announcement of the Petrov family's arrival, silence fell upon the entire place. Director Lucille Randle gave Kamilla one last disdained look before looking away to join her family who had already taken their spot to welcome the Petrov entourage. "That was scary. Why didn't you looked away, Ella?" Jean whispered after the tensed duel ended. "That would be an insult if I looked away. She seemed to have given so much effort with her appearance" Kamilla playfully smirked."You are crazy, Ella. She looked rather pissed" Jean rolled her eyes. "Oh, is she? I haven't noticed" Kamilla casually shrugged, unbothered. The three exchanged anxious glances before directing their eyes to Kamilla."Do we have to keep our seats? Director Randle would undoubtedly mind." Contrary to their earlier pleasant demeanor, they all appeared uneasy at the moment. "We have nowhere to go unless we are ready to retire to our rooms," Kamilla stated matter-of-fact. "What will we do if she demands
Kamilla's calm gaze is fixed on Director Randle's hand, which is poised to grasp Samuel's arm.She could feel a strange heat coursing through her veins, searing her sanity, ever since Lucille Randle approached him. Her heart is pumping so fast, it is deafening. She could almost hear blood rushing through her veins. The familiar force is tempting her to cross the distance between them. But, with what little self-control she had, she tightly balled her hands and dug her heels into the floor. No one noticed her struggle as everyone's attention was drawn to the figures in front. Her jaw tightened as she regarded the spectacle with an unsettling gaze. She was so caught up in her thoughts when she saw Samuel stepped away, evading Lucille Randle's hand. However, no one noticed his stealthy movement, including Director Lucille Randle, when a deafening crash of shattered glass startled the guests. *clink**crack**smash*"Aaah!" The entire venue rang with startled wails and horrified ga
"Mr. Petrov!" Gasps of horror erupted when formidable men appeared from nowhere. Their piercing sharp gaze directed at the commotion. "Unhand her" For the second time, the man in the center issued a grave order. Stunned by the intrusion, Lucille Randle and Bridget Lee froze. Despite the stern command, they remained unmoving. Too terrified to even breath. When Kamilla saw the two women's terrified expressions, she aggressively ripped her arms away from their tight grip. She stepped away as soon as she had successfully released herself. However, she did not dare to leave. Instead, she stands next to Jean with a downcast head, as if she were a child caught up in mischief. "What audacity is this, Director Randle? Director Lee?" Recognizing the cold inquiry, Lucille Randle forced herself to collect her composure."Ahm, I was only trying to talk to the new employee, but she suddenly act arrogant towards me, Sir Samuel" Lucille's voice quivered while she anxiously glance at the other
As her usual routine, she will take the bus to go back home. It is late but she wasn't worried. She enjoys the night view of the city while keeping her hands inside her pockets. She will never tire of looking at the gleaming lights around her. It is past rush hour, and the streets are nearly empty save for a few cars and buses passing by. There is still five minutes until the bus arrives. She waited alone in her usual spot at the bus stop when someone joined her. She casts a subtle glance at the newcomer who stands a few feet away from her. He is sporting a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap. Like her, he has his hands in his pockets. "Got out late from work too?" she turned to him and casually asked. However, she got no response. He also showed no indication that he heard her."The bus will be here in five minutes" she continued with a smile. But just like earlier, she got no response. "I am working at that building" she pointed at one of the building, extending her arm to it
"Babe... " Samuel struggled to breathe as he laid flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Stark naked, he enjoys Kamilla's playfulness. She made him spread his legs wide while she kneeled in the center. It was an awkward position. He resembled a dissected frog lying on the table. But seeing her so delighted while hungrily viewing his nakedness makes it all worthwhile. He will go to any length for her. Her hands explored every inch of his body. She lingered, admiring his washboard abs and playing with his twin peaks. "You looked amazing, Baby," she said with pure admiration, trailing her fingertips down every nook of his superbly toned physique. "A wolf," she whispered with furrowed brows, touching the ink-printed image on his skin. She had seen it several times while they were at home. But she did not have much time to examine it since they were both busy pleasuring each other the majority of the time. Tonight, with the lights turned on, she gets the opportunity to
"We still have not found anything regarding Kamilla. We are once again redirected to the time Damian brought her to Samael Petrov""We still do not know anything about her life before Damien took her in." Denver placed a document in front of Samuel."She seemed to have just appeared from out of nowhere""Damian placed her in a homeschooling program until she was ready for high school. That is all we know about her for now." Vasili looked contemplative, boring Samuel with his earnest gaze."She is preparing something. But she requested to keep it to herself for a while. I do not want to betray her trust by breaking into the laboratory to find out what she is up to. I know she will come to me when she is ready to tell me." Lia spoke out, her gaze likewise directed at Samuel."She mentioned about hunting someone. An adversary she fears" Samuel heaved a sigh. He is becoming frustrated with the lack of information they are receiving concerning Kamilla."I have directed that information be
"But...? What is the but, Lia?" Samuel repeated, and tears began to obscure his vision.He has been trained to see all sides of situations and he consistently demands it regardless of its outcome. Their family waited in trepidation, afraid to even move. Every passing second is torture to everyone's sanity.Lia wiped her tears away and took a quick breath to alleviate the uncomfortable lump in her throat. "Dr. Rene Rechner modified the patented medicine used to wake up Grandmother Andrea." Lia earnestly explained, her eyes fixed at Samuel.At the mention of the drug developed by Dr. Rechner piqued everyone's interest, most particularly Samuel."Two of the triplets shared the same placenta and the other one has her own" Lia gently smiled."My princess got separated from her brothers" Samuel softly mumbled."Yes, and we almost lost her" Lia bitterly whispered, letting out a deep breath. "It was a nightmare. Reviving a fetus smaller than my knuckles was a scene I would rather forget. T
"It is taking so long," Samuel heaved a sigh and muttered, burying his face in his palm.The grueling wait is wreaking havoc on his sanity. It has been four hours and there is no indication of anyone leaving the operation room. "They have to make sure Kamilla and the babies are all right, Sam," Lexie said, rubbing his back to reassure him. Dinara is on the other side of him, doing the same to her son. "We shall keep praying for all of them, Sam. May all of the medical team be shone with divine wisdom that only the heavens could bestow. May Kamilla and the three babies be given the strength to endure" Lexie tenderly whispered with closed eyes. Before Lia, Dr. Rechner, and Abby took Kamilla to the surgery room, the entire family had arrived, including the Wrights and the Steels.Vasili and the other Petrov men arrived three hours later. But they made sure to check in with the others on the ongoing procedure since it started. "They are not done yet?" Vasili asked his brothers the ins
Kamilla had extensive monitoring to ensure she was ready for a cesarean section. Her blood pressure, however, has proven to be the most difficult obstacle. "Sam, go lay down next to Kamilla and sleep. Something is upsetting her, causing her blood pressure to fluctuate. I believe you are the one causing her distress," Lia mumbled sympathetically as she approached Samuel."What exactly do you mean, me?" Samuel was perplexed as he pointed to himself."Kamilla is exhibiting symptoms of stress. She may be lethargic but she is conscious, Sam. She knows exactly what is going on around her" Lia patiently explained, staring straight into his eyes."She knows when you are not eating or sleeping. She could sense your distress and guilt. She knows when you are drowning in work and not taking care of yourself the way you used to." Lia bitterly smiled, seeing his perplexity."She is aware of everything, yet she has no control over it. She cannot take care of you while fighting to survive and beari
"How are you, Babe?" Samuel approached the bed and leaned in to kiss the peacefully sleeping figure on it.He carefully took a seat next to her and hovered above her, his elbows propped up to support his weight. He longingly stares at her beautiful face, seemingly memorizing every detail of it. He received no warm response, as he usually does, but he continued to gently kiss her pale face."I finished some important meetings earlier and started handing over some of my tasks to Denver," he smiled as he planted a kiss on her slightly parted lips. "Starting tomorrow, I will be working from home. I will not leave unless absolutely essential, Babe. We will be together all day," he inhaled deeply with closed eyes, immersing his fatigued senses with her soothing natural scent.He just finished showering alone. It was extremely lonely going about their daily routine without her, but he will persevere. He will wait for her.Yesterday was a mix of joy and doom for him. He found Kamilla had b
"Good day, Madame Kamilla," staff greeted as she make way to the private elevator with her security. "Good day," she remarked with a courteous smile and a kind nod to everyone. Her presence inside Petrov Petroleum's main office has become more frequent in recent days. It had been four months since her wedding, and she was now undergoing rigorous training under all Petrov senior scientists, as Doctor Lia had planned for her. They are preparing her as future chief scientist at the facility. She was doing well in her training, except for her odd yearning to see and smell Samuel every now and then. She was trying to concentrate on her work, but she couldn't resist the impulse to meet with Samuel. So despite the hassle of traveling to the main office from her location, she would make the effort to visit him. However, unlike most days, she felt a little lethargic. She woke up fine earlier. However, when she arrived at the facility, she felt an unusual tightness in her gut. She tried
"What are your plans, Kamilla?" Vasili asked as he stared at the stacks of stones in front of them."I just want to bring my family home" Kamilla smiled bitterly. Today, after ten years, she went back to Monte Cristo a week after the wedding. They arrived at dawn at the mainland's airport and traveled for four hours to Monte Cristo. The sun had already risen and they could clearly see the forest and wreckage of her previous home. Not only Samuel accompanied her but the Mafia Boss, Vasili and his queen, Doctor Amelia, Denver, Carl, Dalton, the Stepanov siblings who are nowhere to be seen around them, and several of their men. Monte Cristo is already a foreign land to her and the Petrov will not allow her and Samuel to return without the Wolf, some of their cousins and their men. Her heart sank to the depths of the ocean as she stared at the makeshift tomb she had built for her family ten years ago. The stones she placed have now become rubble on the ground. The passage of time ru
"Wow, its huge. Thick and long" Kamilla's eyes widened in awe as she stared at the sandwich placed in front of her. A surprisingly large hungarian sausage.Inquisitive eyes darted to her, and as soon as they noticed where her gaze was directed, their brows arched in mischievous delight. "Looked familiar," Abby giggled, her face flushed. "Add a little inch and a bit of thinkness, it is what it is. What do you think?" Lia inquired thoughtfully, her gaze likewise directed at Kamilla's plate."Yeah, I think so too" Kiera nodded while fixing her eyes at the same spot of everyone's interest."That is a lot to consume and its massive. I cannot imagine how it will fit in your mouth" Arah exclaimed, astounded at the generous portion.Kamilla turned to Arah with her Bambi eyes. The rest followed and something just dawned on the four of them. Arah did not seem to figure out what they were talking about. "Yeah, its huge and long, but do it inch by inch, Dr. Arah. I can barely take half of it;
"Ella, we came here to discuss something with you." Kamilla halted her steps and stared at the people who had been stopped by her security. She had not seen them in months. Whatever their reason for seeing her, she is uninterested. By the look at their disdainful expressions, she could tell nothing had changed. They remain hostile to her. So it was surprising that they wanted to speak with her despite their strained separation. "I have a meeting with important people in just a few minutes, Mrs. Baranov. I am sorry, but I do not have time to spare" she explained calmly before continuing to walk. "No time to spare? Such arrogance!" Cynthia Donlov was aghast, glaring at her. "Show some respect, Ella. At least to our parents," Celine said irritably. Kamilla let out an internal grunt but continued on her way. She continues to walk with all of her security, making certain that no one approaches her unnecessarily. "You have gotten more haughty after your marriage to Mr. Samu
"I am a mere twenty-two-year-old who is her own hero. I fought my own battles and protected those who are dear to me. Until I met a knight in shining armor. My champion, Samuel Petrov. He came at a perfect time, just when I thought life had forsaken me" Kamilla started her vow with a shaky smile.Following the lengthy wedding ceremony, they both signed the marriage certificate, which was facilitated by the Petrov counsels, and now they stand before the guest to proclaim their vow.Samuel reached out for her cheek and caress it with his thumb. A soft smile carved his lips as he watched her snuggle against his hand with eyes closed. Their magical moment left their family in tears, as well as guests in awe."He is a ferocious warrior, feared by everyone. But, for me, he is the most gentle and loving soul. A respite to my troubled spirit...an antidote to my poisonous existence" she charmingly smiled and showering the man across from her with her loving gaze. The family exchanged furtive
