(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
(Lily’s POV)It’s been a whole week since that and I need to get myself together but it seems easier than done.I am not able to recover and my mind keeps going back to those bitter memories.Every day I try to indulge myself in other things but it is not helping. I am not sure why this is too much this time.The last time I suffered a panic attack was five years ago when I was kidnapped. Yes, I had been kidnapped and it was awful, I don’t want to undergo that again. The rotten feeling returns to my heart and I succumb to darkness.Supposedly, they wanted money and my father is a billionaire himself, so they used me as bait.They were mafias, I don’t know the details but since that day I started hating them to the core. This time as well I am again tangled up in this bloody stalker mess.They just won’t leave me alone, and I wonder why that guy is obsessed with me.At first, I thought it was all for money but on second thought it was not regarding that. The police informed me that the
(Lily’s POV)“Hey” I heard a husky deep voice and looked around to see Josh, my former college mate. He instantly hugs me, He is strong as ever. “I can't breathe, fucker” I said while I hit his back. “Sorry baby, I could not control seeing you after so long” He said and flashed me a genuine smile. “Sure but be aware of your ridiculous Hulk body, could kill a few” I said while catching my breath. “Oh surely it kills” He said, his tone flirtatious and I rolled my eyes at him. “What do I owe to see you here?” I asked and he frowned. Forgot again, Amnestic bastard. “Yeahh” He said, his expressions conveying he finally remembered after a whole minute of keeping me at the verge of anger. “Say?” I asked again and he nervously smiled at me. I palmed my face and guided him towards my cabin, he followed by babbling something. “You sure are rich girl” I heard him say and smirked at him. “It takes a lot more than talking to build it”, I entered the cabin and asked him to sit on the co
8- Zakat and Alister(Xander's POV) “Man, you sure are tough” I heard him say and continued my work without bothering to look over at him.“Someone might steal your girl” he again babbled.“I heard that some guy is hitting on her, this is not good”, Ziven made dramatic faces while uttering pure nonsense.“You listen-” The next second he was smashed on the floor, wailing in discomfort after my fist landed straight to his face.“I have no business with her”, “You don't have to be so brutal with me, you know,” he said while caressing the place I hit. “Did you look into it?” I asked without turning my head, “Look into what?”.“Oh oh yeah,” he said nervously after receiving my one glare.“Ivankov had a fight with Elion, they were quite fired up, even murdering the people over there”.“Elion?” I asked, finally getting curious, sounds familiar. “Yeah, younger son of Lorenzo Marini, leader of the Italian mafia,” Ziven explained. “Italian? I heard they had made up with Zakat”, “Lorenzo cha
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
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
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
Lilies and PearlsLily’s POVLily- Age twenty two“When did I leave?”, I asked Alessia and she frowned, “You texted us that you reached home.” She spoke to me in a confused tone. “I don't remember. I have been out for two days now” I told her as I leaned back over the headrest of my couch. “But we saw you leave with a guy and you were quite drunk,” Alessia told me. I stare at her with disbelief. “I wasn't with any guy, I must have asked him to leave me towards my car” I told her and palmed my face. I was with a guy, I know. My whole body is in pain and I have faded memories about the same. I can't believe I drank so much that I even forgot what happened in the last two days. My back feels like it will break and so I have taken a leave. “Do you know how he looked?” I ask her after rejecting the thought of not telling her about my fucked up situation. “He was tall, and was wearing black”. I don't know who it might be. “Okay, leave it be,” I said finally after getting fed up. I
That WomanLily’s POVLily Age-NineIt’s been nine months since Mom left me and now I am getting the hang of where she is. Dad told me she was in a better place and was happy so I should not grieve about her. Although I understood him, I still wanted her back.Adam was sent to boarding school by Dad because his grades were low and he was not focusing on his studies. I do not want the same to happen to me so I study even though I hate it, I need to study. I do not want to disappoint him. He had been acting strange for a few months, he was a lot happier and I could not understand how. Does he not miss Mom?My mind went back to the time when we were bidding Mom a goodbye one last time and there was that same lady I saw at the party. Dad was staring at her.Is she his friend? Maybe not.“Dad, can I go over to Beatsie’s today?” I ask him and he nods without even hearing me properly. I frown at his behaviour. He doesn't even lift me up anymore, does not kiss me and love me anymore.I turned
The Mother’s DeathLily’s POV“I know I am worthless and I could not save you but I want to devote my everything to you. I don’t know about love but I do know that I want to spend my everything with you. I want you near me and I want to cherish you. My pearl”.I opened my eyes hearing him and I could feel something else inside my heart, did he really say this and for me at that? Am I hearing everything correctly or is it just something I want to listen and so I am hallucinating. But when he holds my hand I felt him near me, he was real and what he said to me was also real. His eyes were closed as he held my hand close to his heart and again said, “Please wake up soon, I cannot wait to embrace you again”. I wanted to smile but I could not, my lips did not help me. But my heart fluttered. ‘I too need you and want you’ I said but he never heard it.I closed my eyes and tightened my hold over his hand, I went into a deep slumber. I remembered the most painful night I faced when my Mom le
Invitation to death(Heavy Violence~discretion advised)Elion’s POVI could not see, it was painful. All I could do was feel everything that was happening around me.That girl for whom I put away everything I had, was a monster and not at all the girl I imagined. She had taken my eyes away from me. I was not able to comprehend when she turned that violent.She thrashed me while I was in a vulnerable state, even though I was almost there in making her mine. At first she was all scared but afterwards she became completely different.I had always imagined to fuck her and I had almost succeeded but that guy had ruined it all for me.I heard footsteps approach me and I tried to sense the direction in which they were. I was not able to comprehend as many sounds could be heard but before I knew it someone clasped me and made me stand up.“Who the fuck are you, I will kill you” I screamed as I tried to get away but nothing worked, there were many hands that held me captive.“Do you even know
Worthless Xander’s POVI kicked open the door and fired two shots to kill the man in front of me, I just hoped my baby was fine. I inched closer and my men surrounded the area but as we were progressing towards the staircase, a voice could be heard.“Welcome, Mr Bodyguard” I heard him say and clenched my jaw hearing his mockery tone. Fucker will die today and it will be the most painful death humankind had known.“I know you are searching for my wife but she is with me, see for yourself” he said and the big screen in front of us started. As soon as I saw what was playing, I froze.Lily lay there unconscious and was covered with a blanket only. Her face and neck had marks and I could feel myself crumbling down with disbelief.“Don’t worry I have been waiting for the big show, I will make her mine in front of you” he said and I clenched my jaw.“Stay away from her”, I roared but I saw him touch her over the covers.Ivankov looked at me and nodded.I fired a shot at the ceiling and he f
Horror crawls backLily’s POVI sat in silence over the comfy bed, they had not harmed me instead, they were giving me all the luxury needed. But that could not make up for what they had done to me. And who knows when their minds change.I looked out to see the fenced window, it was bedecked with Steal bars and only some space was left between them. I knew I couldn’t escape from here so I needed to think about something else. I can’t just sit and wait for him to force me.He was planning our wedding, such an idiot. I am married already and still he doesn't care because apparently he thinks we are lying about it. The purpose may be hidden but still, we did sign the papers.As I sat again in frustration because I couldn't find anything in this closed prison, I recalled that ungrateful night.I was going home after college but was kidnapped, apart from this time I was really scared for my life. I thought I was done for but instead of death, I received a lifelong scar. I was raped.I did
