Chapter 15: Fallen & American
-
When Alessandro went to Italy, it gave Natalia more time to think about her feelings for him and whether or not it was more sexual than emotional but she knew she wouldn't have time to sit and think as she had many things to do during the day.
-
Natalia laid back in her chair as the man came out of the shower, she was waiting for him to open the door as she held her gun in her hand.
It didn't take a minute for the man to open the door, he stood in his towel eyes widened in shock as he saw her sitting a few feet away from him, "Hello Michael, it's been what...3 weeks?"
"Natalia, I don't have the money." She sighed checking the time on the Rolex on her wrist which was actually his. "I don't have time for your lies, this watch looks awfully expensive for a man with your salary."
"It was a gift from my sister.
- Chapter 16: Denied & Want - Even though Natalia slept, she was still tired as her mind thought of every possible person, who would want her dead but that was a long list due to her family's long line of murders. At least Natalia knew it wasn't Ryan, he didn't have the balls to pull a stunt like this. With a sigh, she left her room the sound of voices in the dining room caught her attention, her feet moved on their own as she entered earning everyone's gaze. Her parents, Alessandro, Alessio and a few other people sat around the table, "Good morning." Natalia greeted keeping her eyes away from Ales
- Chapter 17: Like & Eric - "So, are you going to tell me what's really happening?" Alessandro asked softly, kissing her neck. Her hands gripped his shirt, loving how his lips felt. "There is nothing to tell." She told him, he sighed pulling away making her frown. "Natalia we both know that's not true." "What do you want me to tell you? That I'm not in love with my fiance? That I'm not engaged? Because I am Alessandro, and you need to accept it." He placed both hands on either side of her legs, entrapping her. "If you're so in love with your fiance why are you here with me?" Natalia stayed silent letting him continue
- Chapter 18: Jealous & Pleasure - Before Natalia could say anything, her mother took the stage, microphone in hand. "Hello everyone I want to thank you for coming, as you know we are celebrating my daughter, Natalia's engagement to Eric, my future son in law. Please make room for the happy couple for their first dance." Natalia sighed knowing her mother would do something like this, Eric held out his hand for her to take. She knew she couldn't refuse him in front of everyone, her father would never let her hear the end of it. So she took his hand allowing him to lead her to the middle of the dance floor, just as the music began.
- Chapter 19: Sailor & Siren - Natalia woke up to feathery kisses against her neck, "Good morning." She grumbled softly catching his attention as he leaned up meeting her eyes. "Good morning beautiful," Alessandro whispered with a bright smile, brushing her soft hair away from her eyes. "What time is it?" Natalia leaned into his warmth as he answered her question. "9." She groaned knowing they would have to get up soon. "My mother likes to come in unannounced, it's only a matter of time before she comes to-" He halts her sentence with a kiss, her hands moved up his back pulling him closer to her.
- Chapter 20: Relationship & Failed - After breakfast Natalia, Eric and her father went upstairs, into her father's office. She knew this was about her relationship with Alessandro. Both Natalia and Eric took a seat while her father stood. "So tell me, Eric, how do you feel about Alessandro and Natalia's relationship?" Before Eric could speak, Natalia spoke. "He shouldn't have any feelings about it, he is not my husband." She stated as though she didn't just break off any romantic relationship she had with Alessandro. "No, but I'm your fiance." Natalia rolled her eye
- Chapter 21: Teasing & Torturing - It was the next day, Natalia was making her way to her father's office since she was just informed about a mission of some sort, apparently, her father wanted her and a few others to steal some crates. Why were they stealing it? Was something Natalia had to find out. Natalia knocked before entering, something she wished her brother would learn to do. She smiled sadly at the thought since her brother had yet to wake up. "Come in." Natalia snapped out of her train of thoughts as she heard her father's voice. As s
- Chapter 22: Oh & Empty - Natalia turned around to face her fiance. "Eric." She forced a smile, feeling irritation rising in her chest. "Natalia, how are y-" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted. "Natalia." She sighed and turned to the voice. "Ryan, are you joining us too?" He gave her a smug grin nodding as his eyes traced her body, making her shiver in disgust. "Yes, I am." "Great." She said sarcastically, not liking this one bit.
- Chapter 23: Start & Andrey - Natalia's P.O.V I watchedas Alessandro got dressed for the party, after many...many rounds of sex. Even though I was unbelievably satisfied, I wanted more. I already missed his lips against mine, I wanted to hear him moan my name as I pleased him as much as he pleased me. "Natalia, don't give me that look." He said finally catching my gaze as he drew me out of my lustful thoughts. "I can't help myself, you look fuckable right now," I stated, earning an amused
- 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
