Mrs. Black encountered Max with a bewildered face. She held her breaths and her entire body trembled watching Stella in Max's arms. She was on the verge of busting into tears when he informed her, "She is fine, just a bit tired. Don't worry Mrs. Black, she is just sleeping." She sighed urgently.
Her fingers trailed around Stella's cheeks while relief filled her lungs. "Oh, you almost freaked me out Stella, I thought she is..." she purposely paused not wanting to finish the sentence.
The time passed so rapidly that now even the twilight was up. The twilight stole away the colours of the day until the world looked like an old black and white movie.
The vestiges of the setting sun disappearing over the horizon, the copper hues giving way to a dusty purple scattered with the occasional glitter of a faraway star in the garden before the villa. The distant skyline stood silhouetted against a velvety sky and, the golden dusk
30Stella's point of view... Two days later, Five days, it has been five days that we came to Milan and believe me, never have I ever felt soo happy in all these days. Yeah, I was happy. Happy because Max, who was my boss few days ago have now become my boyfriend!It is shocking, I know that. I was shocked as well when he proposed me but it was as beautiful as a fairy tale. The moment he sat on his knees and proposed me, I can't stop my tears from falling. I have seen way too much pain in my life. From my childhood to my adulthood, I only embraced pain. Having fled away from my house did not good as it led to another level of physical and mental pain as after that I met with the financial crisis and the problems of accommodation. Megan did come as my saviour in my life, yet I could not get over the affliction that I felt in a
31Well to be honest I have read about this place in the morning only after he disclosed that we were visiting it. However, I wanted to know more from his mouth. Just wanted to know how would he reply. Much to my astonishment, he only laughed, "Lovers? And suicide? What the heck? You really believe all those tales were true!" he remarked. I nodded my head in yes. I have read about this place and Wikipedia clearly said that. But I don't know why was he feeling so curious about it. Rather I should say, he was making fun of me. " Oh Stella, that is all fake. You see this place and its surrounding..." he pointed his spoon across us while I nodded. "It is a perfect location for opening restaurants or same buildings. But the local people you see, they don't want tourist industry to flourish here or let any builder take over this place and build any restaurant or hotels... So they spread rumours about the lov
My scream echoed in the environment with laughter. I had let my body loose accepting the fall nevertheless, I still could not feel any pain. I could still feel the harsh winds hitting my face while joyous laughs hit my ears. Have not I had fallen? I slowly undid my eyes only to welcome his smirking face. He was laughing at me. I shot open my eyes with the recognition that his fingers have loosened their grip around my wrist, but he held me by my waist such that I was hanging in the mid air in his arms. "Max!" pure exasperation filled my lungs. I cannot suppress my anxiety and anger. Having placed my steps on the rock back I pushed close. My fists banged on his chest as I oozed my anger on him. He was freaking teasing me. It was just a prank. "Easy. Easy.. Stella." He chimed between his laughter that were not in any condition of ceasing. I hit my fists on his chest with all my strengt
"Uh Max!" seemed like the clouds of desires have overpowered his thinking abilities. The way he savoured her skin, forgetting, the surroundings, Stella was left with no other options than to moan and grasp. They had had shared such kisses in the gone two days, yet it just felt beyond inveiglement. He tasted every inch of her mouth way more aggressively than she has expected. His teeth chewed her lips mercilessly as though she was his favourite candy. His arms have caged her waist in a way that Stella could not move nor could she tame his pleasure. He was dominating her in every sense. "Maxx" Stella moaned his name again as he travelled below her throat whilst leaving wet kisses on her skin. She was lost, Mark that... She was damn lost. His touch, his breaths, his iron grip around her body, his dominance and his kisses, they were just forcing her to drown more and more into him. Stella wanted hi
Stella sucked in a nervous breath gazing herself in the mirror of her room. Her face glimmered with excitement looking the crimson covering her cheeks. She looked like a Disney princess wearing a green colour gown with a long slit towards the left side of her right leg up till her mid thigh. Her fingers were playing together watching herself in the mirror at her neck, it was adorned with a beautiful platinum chain with a locket of tiny heart shape. Max gifted her the same along with the dress she was wearing now. Her hair were curled from the tips and tied into a loose messy pony tail such that her hair appeared full and thick. "Okay, just stay focused..." Stella grinned taking her phone and a clutch sprinting near the door of her room. After they returned to the main city from the tourist spot of Lover's point, Max directly took her to one of his boutique shops and made her try dozens of dresses. From short to long, l
35(Recommended for 18+ audience. Please read at your risk) The bed was soft and warm. The air conditioner was set on low temperature. The heat their bodies ignited, it was turning the room on fire. Stella could feel his arm draped over her, more comforting than any blanket she had ever laid under. She was perfumed by his musky scent, and her night gown was slightly pulled up by above her thighs while she laid between the crumpled bed sheets.She was pressed to the bed by his hard shirtless torso. They were giggling and panting heavily as their second foreplay was damn tiring and amusing that they cannot stop but rethink about it in their minds.Max let his ears ring with her racing heart beats. A devilish smirk so read on his lips as he rubbed his free arm on her breast under his grip. He successfully got her into the bed after a fake date of pretension. He can't help but smirk to himself as the stupid
36(Recommended for 18+ audience. Please read at your risk) 'What are you doing Max? You are raping her in the name of a game, aren't you? This is not you. You would never do that to shy girl, not even her, the daughter of your sister's criminal.'Max immediately stilled, the pretend game suddenly came to a halt after the voice of his heart reverberated when he felt the tip of his fingers coat with the thick liquid inside of her. A sudden realization dropped upon him, and he blinked his eyes quickly pulling her into a hug, "Hey, are you okay?" he was still mad mentally wanting to make her suffer but his body acted otherwise. He picked her up in his arms and caressed her back, "I am sorry... I thought you would like it. I am sorry." he apologized against his will with a light groan. If the devil inside him wanted her to rape in the name of a pretend game, and take his sister's revenge f
Stella's breaths increased, "W-what?" She inquired finding him stare at her. She has tossed the sheets away, making it a bold move Thad was supposed to turn him on nevertheless Max stared her blankly. He appeared to be lost in some thoughts and when she turned her face back, his nostrils were flaring and his eyes were narrowed on hers, "You really want this?" She expected him to focus on her breasts immediately, buthe didn't. Stella was confused with his changing behaviour. She blinked her eyes while his hands wrapped around her face, staring down at her, "Come on speak up Stella, do you really want this? I think you need to...." he was cut by a sudden kiss that landed on his mouth. She stopped him with a kiss and removed his hands from her face. Stella directed him down her breast as she opened her legs wide for him to adjust between her.And, just within no time, he began moving his hips, slowly at first
Five months ago,Stella opened her eyes with a yawn. She felt suffocated and something heavy resting upon her body. Her lips tiringly smiled travelling her fingers over her chest and caressing the face of her husband, "Max," She roamed her fingers in his hair. It was Max sleeping on her chest hugging her body.Yes, Stella and Max were now married. They were happily married for three months now.After that ungrateful night, Stella took her own time getting over the affecting loss of her father and brother's death. No matter how cruel and scary they were, they were still her family. She never learned how to hate people or else she would also have hated them for being themselves!Never mind, it was now in the past. What stayed in the present was her life now.She ran her palm on his bare back. Max stirred in his sleep. He moved his head and inched forward near her
78Max's POVWe entered the mansion quite secretly without having the guards know about it. Malik, with half of the people, stayed back at the entrance of the second floor as I covered the further distance with the remaining people. It was my war and that being the case, I moved forward.We encountered three guards on my way who were handled by my people while I walked further. Stella was kept in the third room toward the end of the corridor from that side, so I was supposed to rush from this end to the other end, "Stay back," I eyed one of my mates as I leaned against the wall and surveyed the scene across us.I was left in shock when I found the area clear as heck. There was no dog as said by Kevin guarding in the corridor at all. It was totally clear."Stay here, I will go and see..." I hurried my steps going toward the door belonging to the roo
Saturday,In the morning,Along with a team of trusted men, Max left for the New York Airport. He disguised himself as an old obese man with pepper and salty hair. His stubble was completely shaved and a fake mustache put on. The others have disguised themselves too, that is because from the police officers to the security guards at the airport had links with the mafia boss. Max could not risk himself to be seen by them.They sat in different corners in the waiting lounge until their flight was announced. Although Malik could use his private jet but he preferred to play the fair game as there was a chance that the mafia king's secret spies would be keeping an eye on him and all the other strong personalities in the underworld in order to know who was their friend and who was the enemy. And since he was playing the role of the mafia Lord's friend, there was no way he would come in front of him as an enemy.
Max's internal body clock and the full moon shining its light through the massive window of his bedroom told him that it was the middle of the night. He was past that feeling of being insecure and scared for Stella's whereabouts and condition. He was tired but not sleepy. His eyes silently stared at the dull and yellowish pale looking ceiling between his soundless respiration.He was thinking about their future. His future, his sister's, Stella's and obviously Kevin's. They have come a long way ahead now, and there was no going back either. After years of struggling, he was finally getting the chance to meet the bastard boss of the underworld who was now as weak as Voldemort was toward the end of the Harry Potter series.Lucifer Miller was powerless. Everything from him was snatched away. He was just left a boss in name!Max blinked his eyelids thinking about th
Friday,In the night,"You bitch!" Lucifer Miller shook in anger, he elevated his right leg and kicked his shoe hard on her nose. "How dare you!" The kick made Stella dizzily blink her eyes before she fell back on the floor along with the chair and her eyes closed.The camera ripped off from her fainted body and focused on the cruel Boss's face, "Max Stokes... Nice game. I am impressed by your come back but I am afraid my daughter's treason has fueled up my anger, so if you don't want me to hurt her, come out of your shell and see me. Let's talk it out— face to face." Lucifer Miller pressed the tip of his shoe on Stella's cheek. He let out a satanic laugh and spit on her face doing everything that would enrage Max. ***" This video was shot on Wednesday, we got it today though! " Kevin announced looking in the direction of the couch."A
Stella's point of view...*I was walking on a lonely road that was fogged with smoke. Nothing could be seen except a narrow path that stretched forward. I walked and walked unless I came across a spot, and gasped.I saw myself engulfed in Max's arms. We were standing right at the spot where I shot him in that silent and empty area."Max, no! Please don't make me do it." It did not take me a moment to realize that I was taken into the past to watch the same scene where I lost him forever.He smiled pressing his chin on my head and whispered, "Do it Stella. You will have to do it. Remember, it is for the good." As soon as he finished that statement, *shot* I gasped holding my mouth as his head fell back before he detached from my body.I was rooted to my spot. Neither could I move nor take a breath. I wanted to go there and save M
The days kept rolling by. Stella's condition kept falling and worsening with each day. Nelson who was taking care of her in his mansion completely went off track. He could not concentrate on his own company, let alone the management of Array & Thrice.The shares of his business kept falling in the market, there was no one who was willing to invest in his company nor help him in this time of crisis. Even the ones who were investing in Lucifer Miller's companies and businesses raised their hands and backed out."This is ridiculous! Within my rule for thirty years, I never faced this situation. I am losing my grip in the underworld one by one. If this keeps going on then we will be bankrupted within no time." The most feared mafia lord spoke like a helpless damsel in distress.His head adorned creases of worry while the three important men around him looked at the very files spread on the cir
Nelson's POV"Nelson please, don't go. Just stay with me. Please.""I am here with you, Stella. Let me just go and see your father. I swear I will be back soon." I put her to bed and covered her with the blanket.I don't want to say but honestly this crap has got on my nerves now. Stella and her visions are pathetic. After Max Stokes' death she has drastically fallen sick, and everywhere she just hallucinates him."Please be back soon.""I swear I will be. Just give me a minute." I had to force a smile even when I didn't feel like smiling at her.This was really something I was doing against my will. Having kissed her on the forehead, I moved out of her room, "Jeeez!" as soon as I was out, my mouth twisted and I cursed my ungrateful destiny.I thought after Max Stokes' death I would be able to enjoy my life wit
2 MONTHS LATER..."What the heck is this Mia, haven't I told you not to bring up his topic again!"... Throwing the cup of coffee over the poor secretary's white shirt, the new boss screamed, banging his hands on the table."He is DEAD. Now I am your boss... Nelson Mendez is your boss. So just do as I say and dare I hear his name in this organization again." the new boss fumed in exasperation."I am... I am sorry Sir... I will get the changes made. Excuse me"... Poor Mia, Max's once beautiful and talented secretary spoke in low tone sprinting out of the glass door.After she left Nelson huffed a sigh and looked at the file in his front.It has been two months to Max's death. Ever since then, everything he owned was transferred in the name of a new boss, Nelson Mendez, who was none other than the mafia king's one of the doggie-like loyal
