Maria is shotXander’s POV“She will be fine,” my sister said to me as I sat near my baby, who had not woken up. “She will, she has to,” I said and she put a hand over my shoulder.“Father has called for you, there are already many to take care of her” she spoke to me in a slow voice and I nodded my head.“Where is she?” I asked her, “With William as always”. I stood up and gave her a sharp look, “She will be dead soon, Both shall die in each other's arms and we will see how much their love can hold”.It is time for the most important death, Maria Barone.But she won’t die until she tells us the truth.~“Hello, finally we meet,” my father says and the lady wearing black, freezes. Her eyes stilled at my father, I know she wasn’t expecting this.“W-what are you both doing here? Leave this instant” she yells but it is too late for her. Death is near.“You all can’t do anything,” she says and pulls over a gun, father laughs at her. He is having the most fun here.“Sure I can do anything
Xander’s MotherXander’s POV“She and I were always close but we never understood each other. She was always cunning and so she married your father, Lev Morozov. She did not feel anything for him and even knows this but he could not defy the feelings he had for her. He was head over heels for her which led to his ruins” Maria completes the sentence and I just stare at the wall in front of me.“When they had Lidiya she was still sane but after you were born, she lost it. She wanted everything in the world, she wanted every fucking power and wanted to rule Russia” I already know what she is saying but still stay put and listen.“She helped me a lot and so I married your Uncle but he was cunning, he ruined my plan. He knew whatever I was doing and whatever your mother was doing but Lev was not trying to understand anyone, he defended her always” she says and I could feel her inner hate crawl up for my Uncle.“She was betraying your father, physically and mentally and that too with the en
Broken SlumberLily’s POVMy eyes opened a little only to get shut again by the bright surroundings, I tried to open them again and that was when I saw a man, dressed up in a king’s outfit, it looked like that.Realization dawned upon me as I realized the man was none other than my husband and he was holding my fragile hand tucked up with syringes. It hurts.He was holding my hand as if I would die any moment, the warmth was enough for me to shed a tear with no emotions, this happens when you are lost inside.I was just staring at him, my eyes cried on their own while I tried to remember what was happening.“Xander?” I finally said but my voice came out different as if I had not spoken in months for now but still, I uttered his name with a small voice and a shaky one at that. He froze, he was already still and one could think he was sleeping but now he stiffened and it looked like his breath hitched.He stayed like that, did he think he was hallucinating because he just shrugged his h
(Lily’s POV)“The fuck Lily I set you up with the hottest man in town but you rejected him” said my friend Beatrice with irritation while I shrugged my shoulders at her antics.“I already told you I am not interested in that man so stop bugging me” I said while rolling my eyes.“You are such a bore” she said and I ignored her while sipping my coffee, working on my new design.“Beatrice not everyone can fuck around like you” said Alessia making Beatrice scoff. At least someone is making sense here.“But he sure is hot” Alessia completed and I frowned palming my face.“Then you guys should fuck him together but please leave me out of it,” I said glaring at the two and they giggled at me.“When are you leaving for Russia” Beatrice asked me and I replied with “tomorrow”.I was leaving the UK and moving to Russia instead for the extension of my business. Although I was already quite successful in my work, I still wanted to grow it more.“I hope you find someone there,” Beatrice said while
(Lily’s POV)It’s nearly been a month since I started my life here and it was going just as planned.Aria was a good person and did her work without being a nuisance in my life. The office work was going great and I had already cracked two most important deals.Our designs were appreciated here and the response was better than we expected.Everything was on track leaving two things, my insomnia and that man I met at the park.I could not sleep properly and this was a problem I had managed to keep up with since my college days. But now I was also thinking about a handsome freak who was invading my dreams, whispering to me in his deep voice.It felt so real that I sometimes thought he was right next to me but then I woke up to reality and got disappointed.I went to visit there again and again but he was never there. After some attempts, I understood that I would not meet him again in his life.“Yes?” I answered my call, " Ma'am there is a problem. We have received a package by your nam
(Lily’s POV)I was palming my face while trembling immensely, my heartbeat racing badly and I broke out in cold sweat.Another nightmare huh, good lord it’s been a few days since it showed up.I immediately sat up to calm myself down and when my breathing steadied I looked at the time, it was 4 in the morning.Even if I try to sleep now I will not be able to so I went to walk in my garden.I was watering my lovely plants and trimming some leaves. I loved this work. Whenever I was free I did it other times I asked someone else to do it.It’s been a few days since the party and there is no letter or package I received since that day so I am assuming he understood it is a waste of time.I went to my office and just like that spent my day but then when I reached my mansion, Aria was panicking there.“What’s the matter Aria?” I asked, getting concerned seeing her face and she pointed towards the backyard of my mansion.I frowned and got confused, has she seen a ghost there?She got up whil
(Lily’s POV)“Miss Rivera I hope I am clear” Xander said in a cold tone and I scoffed. “I will go, you cannot stop me”, I said determinedly. It's been a week since he started working for me and honestly, it was a mess. He was way too indulged in his job and even banned my morning walks and evening visits to the park. If that was not enough he is now adamant to make me work from home and not even step outside. “Okay but if things go south then you are working from home” He said finally after so much convincing. Just as much I like his face I hate his personality. If he could be a little sweet then it would have been a different story but he is rude as hell. And when I say rude I mean it. Once we went to the park and he shoved away a five-year-old child who came to say hi. “We are leaving(Russian) ” he said and I exited my main door. We sat in the car and on the way I grabbed a coffee to lighten my mood. “Would you like some?” I said in a mocking tone as a certain someone was
Xander’s POV-I sat on the couch next to Lily’s bed and stared at her with a cold expression.Last night was too much for her and she had lost consciousness afterwards so I had to rush her to the hospital.The doctor said she had a panic attack and her condition could have been worse, had I not rushed here on time.The whole time I was worried as hell as she had not woken up since then and her brother was here as well.“Thank you for protecting my baby sister” he said and I replied with a short and simple, “It’s my work”.He sat near Lily and started patting her head while I moved outside to get intel regarding the situation last night.I am sure the stalker is from a powerful mafia organization and his connections are good as I had not been able to gather much about them.The security guards were already there so I thought to freshen up a bit.I went back to Lily's home, had a bath and then rode my bike to reach a certain place.This was a bar where all the mafia’s were evolved and I
