Natalia's P.O.V
"No, she can't be..." I stated, but the look on his face told me he was serious. "She is Natalia. Ria isn't that far from Maria, she didn't exactly do a good job at hiding that fact."
"Why? Why would she do this?"
"Do you want me to tell you everything?" I nodded knowing it was best to get a full view of the situation.
"Yes."
-Flashback Alessandro's P.O.V-
"Are you sure you prefer me in lingerie?" Natalia asked in a suggestive tone, I raised a brow wondering where she was going with this. I was about to speak when someone knocked on my door, I kept in a sigh as I spoke.
"Coming." I brought my phone with me as I opened the door, revealing an unfamiliar redhead, I didn't get the chance to talk, she showed off her Glock letting me know she wasn
- Chapter 13: Italy & Where - Alessandro's P.O.V (Continued Flashback) "You know what to do," Amanda stated as she parked in front of Natalia and I's home, I nodded about to step out of the car, but she spoke again. "And if you decided to do the opposite remember we have snipers on her. The snipers can penetrate your bulletproof windows and we have men ready to run in." My jaw clenched as I nodded again, leaving the car as I went to the gate typing in the password before entering the house. The second I closed the door I could smell the food she was cooking, I smiled softly knowing she had been practising ever since I left. "Baby, is that you?" I heard her soft voice, I knew it would be the last time I'd hear it as I slowly walked into the kitchen taking in her appearance. She had somehow managed to mess up
- Chapter 14: When & Secrets - Flashback continued (Alessandro's P.O.V) 3 years later "When did you get back?" Alessia asked me, "Yesterday, I'm going to be staying at the Petrov manor for a while." "What am I supposed to tell- Natalia, hey! I'll call you back." Alessia hung up as I pushed down the feeling of longing hearing Natalia's name. I slipped my phone into my pocket as I turned to Amanda, who was sittin
- Chapter 15: Conflicted & Reality - Natalia's P.O.V "And the rest is history, Alessia knows by the way." It now made sense why she was defending him in the bar...well trying to. "When did she find out?" I asked, "The day she got kidnapped. That was your sister's doing as well, it was a warning for me." It was all making sense now. "So, she wants me dead because I didn't save her from a fucking car crash. I was 14, I barely knew how to swim." I started, expressing my annoyance. "Does she have anything that can be used against us?" I asked. "Yes, she made Amanda steal the file on everyone." He explained, I cursed softly now even more stressed out than before. "Of course she does." "Don't worry about that now." He said making me raise a brow as I met his eyes. "We should be thinking of a plan." "We can do that tomorrow at your house with Aless
- Chapter 16: Chance & Kill - Natalia's P.O.V "Mommy, someone's at the front door!" I heard Nicholai as he and his sister rushed into my office. I looked at the time since my mind immediately wondered if it was Vincent, but it was nowhere near 8. "It's Aunt Alessia and papà!" Anastasia informed me as she and Nic followed me to the door. The second I opened it, I saw Alessandro and Alessia like my daughter said. "I almost forgot you both were coming over," I stated while stepping aside so they could come in. Ana and Nic didn't hesitate to hug Alessandro's leg, which earned a startling smile from him, but it soon formed into a happy one as he bent down hugging them back. I couldn't stop a smile of my own as I took in the scene in front of me. "I remember when I was their favourite," Alessia said, I chu
- Chapter 17: Still & Stories - Natalia's P.O.V When Vincent arrived Alessandro seemed more on edge while Alessia was just watching this all play out. "I'll be back soon, don't give your father and aunt too much trouble," I told the twins, they nodded. "We won't!" I watched as they rushed back into the living room to watch their cartoon. I looked at Alessandro who kept his face emotionless so I couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling. "They should be tired soon, their room is down that hall to the right." He nodded. "Have fun." I gave him a smile, despite knowing how much this was probably killing him. "Thanks." I walked out of the house going towards the gate where Vincent stood a few feet away from his car. The second I stepped in front of him, he wore a smile on his lips. "How is it you get more beautiful every time I se
- Chapter 18: Compete & Heartbreak - Alessandro's P.O.V About an hour or two had passed since the kids and Alessia went to bed, I stayed up deciding to watch some TV because I couldn't sleep until Natalia made it home safely, which didn't take long as I heard the front door opening and footsteps. "What are you still doing up?" I heard her ask. I instantly turned off the tv before giving her my now undivided attention as she took a seat on the white couch to my left while slipping off her heels which seemed to bring her great relief. "It's only 10," I replied doing my best not to get distracted by how stunning she looked right now.
- Chapter 19: Maze & Tip - Natalia's P.O.V I knew I should have pulled away, I should have told him to go, but I could never resist the constant pull whenever he was around, I needed to feel him one more time to get him out of my system even though I knew one night with him would have me hooked on the drug that was him. I hadn't realized we had been walking into a room until I heard a door close, I pulled back removing his shirt and throwing it aside. He brought our lips together again while lifting me in his arms, my legs wrapped around his body as his tongue slipped in my mouth reminding me of his sweet taste. My back hit a
- Chapter 20: Sleepover & Monster - He laid me in the middle of the bed, relaxing my body with soft kisses, he was preparing me for what was about to happen. Each time I thought about us having sex for the first time in years made me grow impatient as he was taking his sweet time. The second our eyes met he noticed this which made him grin softly. "I'm trying to savour the moment." I rolled my eyes with a smile. "You can savour it later, we have all night." He chuckled lightly deciding to listen to my wants as he took his member in his hand positioning it at my entrance.
- Book 2: Epilogue - 5 YEARS LATER Natalia's P.O.V "Happy birthday, beautiful." I heard Alessandro behind me which had me turning off the tv before facing him. "Don't remind me." He only smiled while pressing a kiss against my forehead. "I'm sorry I'm late, my flight got delayed." I gave him a smile of reassurance. "It's fine, I got to spend more time with the kids," I informed him while he took a seat beside me. "That's good to hear, so do you want anything for this birthday?" I stared into his eyes as I bit my lip. "I can get anything I want?" He laughed lightly at my tone. "Besides that, our beautiful children are still awake." I sighed playfully. "Alright, can you make me some pancakes?" "It's 6 pm, Nat." I shrugged. "Isn't it my birthday?" "I guess,
-Book 2: Chapter 28: I & Do-A month later"I already told you we're not gonna have a ceremony, I think having the rings are enough," I told my mother while taking a seat beside Alessandro as he held Dream in his hands.I had Rose in mine."In other words, if she wanted to break up with him she wouldn't have to go through that whole divorce drama," Andrey added making me nod."Exactly." This earned a scoff from Alessandro.
-Book 2: Chapter 27: Pregnant & Yes-A year later"I've never hated you more Alessandro," I stated, making him smile as he flushed the toilet that held my vomit."You're the one who wanted another child. I thought you'd be satisfied after 4." I rolled my eyes as I washed out my mouth before quickly brushing my teeth which didn't take more than 2 minutes."I forgot how the first few months are," I mumbled while putting away my toothbrush, feeling tears greeting my eyes. "I hate this."
-Book 2: Chapter 26: Another & Time-Natalia's P.O.VI pulled back from his lips to stare into his brown eyes that reminded me of home."I love you," I whispered trying to push back the feeling of tiredness since I had woken up a few minutes ago."And I love you. I was scared I'd lose you last night." He admitted while holding me against his naked chest."You'll n
-Chapter 25: Kennedy & Gunshot-Natalia's P.O.V"What are you talking about?""Come on, Natalia. Do you really think a 16 year old could have this much money? This many bodyguards? This many guns? By herself?""As I said, she helped me and in return, I helped her." She informed me which didn't clear up all the confusion my mind held."I don't understand. Why would she want revenge if she left Alessandro and Alessia years ag
- Chapter 24: Future & Revenge - Natalia's P.O.V I drove towards the warehouse with a heavy chest as I came closer and closer to the location my sister had given me. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what she was going to do to me once I arrived. This made me wish I had told my kids one last goodbye. I was silently hoping this wouldn't be my last night on this earth, but I knew hope wasn't something steady to rely on.
- Chapter 23: Kirill & Alone - Natalia's P.O.V Hours had passed since dinner even though Maria obviously wanted to speak to me earlier, for some reason she chose to put it off. I was curious as to why, but I decided not to question it as my mind's focus now shifted to the kiss Amanda and Alessandro shared which had been bugging me all night. I knew it shouldn't have bothered me because he already explained their arrangement, but I couldn't help the anger and jealousy that rose in my chest. I took out a bottle of tequila from the
- Chapter 22: Know & Kisses - Natalia's P.O.V We entered the dining room where my family sat talking away. "You all took your time." My mother commented as Alessandro and I slipped our kids into the high chairs my parents bought. "At least we came," I said while taking a seat next to Andrey, sadly Amanda made Alessandro sit next to her. My eyes met Maria's to see she was already staring at me. "I heard you missed." She smiled amused when I said this.
- Chapter 21: Ilaria & Smart - Natalia's P.O.V Once we had showered and gotten dressed, we made our way to the kitchen. Alessia and the twins were quietly talking about the cartoon they had been watching yesterday. When our footsteps were heard, they turned to us. "You two took your time," Alessia commented with a knowing smile, I decided to ignore her as I bent down, matching my children's height. "How many pancakes
