"Thought about you with someone else and got my heart bruised.”
Natalie came over to meet Leonid, who was more than happy to help. Tim was also bouncing on his spot happily at the surprise.
“It is better to fail to try to fly than sit in the nest and die.” Adrian called his manager, he had hired him to deal with his stuff. Personal stuff which his father knows nothing about. He kept him hidden from his father knowing he was an uncertain & unpredictable man. To keep details about his doings Adrian knew he might need a manager to help him keep up with information and at the same time assist him to keep stuff away from Roman's hands. He had called his manager to get more information about Maxim. his uncle. the day Natalie told him that his uncle was in love with her aunt. He didn’t believe her 100% since she was herself a kid at that time and didn’t have any proof. Today his manager called telling him he didn’t find the exact information about it to prove so but he did find some pictures of them together. He spoke opened the folder and saw three pictures of his uncle with a beautiful woman sitting with him, them laughing together. It didn’t exactly prove they were in l
“Jealousy is love and hate at the same time.”Adrian walked closer to her, his dark gaze on her face. Natalie quickly looked somewhere else. She couldn't handle those sharp intense eyes at her right now. He saw that and felt somewhat happy that he affected her.
“Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.”Greyson walked over to Tyler smiling happily who still held Natalie’s hands.
“Sometimes it’s easier to just count on yourself.”Natalie sat down in the bathtub her thoughts going back to her past. She had an hour to get ready for college, she woke up a little early as she practiced boxing just to beat out the sick feeling making its way into her soul again. Exhausted, sweating, and with bleeding knuckles, she finally was done. Some stains don’t go away ever. They are faint but one thought is enough to bring them back and like acid, on the skin, they glorify making you remember they are just like a devil that attacks you when you are weak, they prey on those times to hurt you again and again.She sighed and took a deep breath and submerged under the water.Clear your head. You can’t bring back time. She opened her eyes under the water. It felt good, the slight pressure of water made her not think anymore, it was silent and peaceful. She got back up and took a deep breath in, feeling better.Sometimes it’s easier to just count on yourself. Remember that.She got
“The best protection any woman can have is courage.”Throughout the day, Adrian couldn’t find it in him to keep his eyes off her. He knew just by looking at her cloudy eyes, what she had done. Her constricted pupils he knew that very it wasn’t long ago he was the same. But it made him wonder what was going on with her. He couldn’t read her easily like others. She was the most confusing person he ever encountered, so difficult to know. She was so powerful that she never depended on anyone. She was a leader of her gang but right now as he saw her acting like this just by the entrance of Greyson was perplexing. What knowledge did he hold that it affected her so much? He wanted to know and he will.When only half-day was over Adrian who was on his break saw Greyson leaving the cafeteria. Natalie didn’t come she was probably avoiding him. Greyson had a victorious smirk settled on his face as he looked around for her as well and found she was not here, knowing her reason very well to avoid
“Never letting go of your hand no matter what....”Natalie stepped forward to the guy who now whimpered in fear as he crawled back, but it just made it more fun for her. Her eyes narrowed sharply, her fist clenched as she took slow but heavy steps. She grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up then pushed him harshly on his car, making him groan in pain. She then threw a hard punch at his face making him yell in pain. Hearing that another guy with long blonde hair from the car came out to help his friend but what a waste that was. As soon as he reached Natalie he tried to pull her hair but she didn’t give him the chance as she turned around in a second making him stumble back with wide feared eyes. She grabbed his raised hand and twisted it behind his back. He screamed in pain, trying to break out of her hold but was too weak for that. She kicked him making him fall down on his knees and then kicked him in the abdomen making him fall clutching his stomach. Straddling him she starte
“My heart betrayed me when it fell for you....”Adrian stood in front of his apartment with Natalie in his arms asleep, her head resting on his shoulder. When he had parked her car, he contemplated whether to take her to his apartment or hers. He knew he would have to explain to Isaac, that prick why he was bringing her but if he didn't go to her apartment he wouldn't have to deal with Isaac. But again Isaac would be worried if she gets late. Seeing the situation again he made up his mind to take her to his apartment.Isaac would get worried and suffer, that arrogant prick should actually. He managed to open the door and enter. Hearing his footsteps coming in Leonid turned to him taking his eyes off the show playing in front of him on the TV."You came lat—" he couldn't finish his sentence as he sat up straight looking at the scene in front of him. Adrian had an asleep Natalie in his arms. His jaw was on the floor and he turned to the hypnosis show he was watching earlier. Am I hypn
“There are some friends who are family...”As soon as Natalie entered her apartment Isaac stood up from the couch and stormed toward her with such a cold glare that would make anyone run for their life. Natalie closed the door and stepped forward slowly expecting to hear him yell but she was surprised when he hugged her tightly instead. His whole body was still tensed thinking of all the different scenarios running in his mind from earlier of what could happen to her.He clenched his eyes shut finally relaxing and ending all the worry. She was safe.Natalie hugged back feeling guilty for making him worry.“I’m so sorry. I was—““Tell me later” He broke the hug and looked down at her with a worried gaze. “Are you okay?” Natalie nodded. “Have you eaten yet?” “No”Isaac nodded patting her back gently. “Go get changed I’ll prepare something for us.” Natalie nodded and went to her room. She took a quick shower and changed into some comfortable clothes. Walking out she debated in her mind w
“It was a love that was inevitable” 3 years later Natalie enters a club. Loud music was blasting and it was filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat. She walked further in the crowd to the VIP section. There she found the person she was looking for, surrounded by half-naked women dancing around him as he drank while looking at them with his lecherous gaze. Her jaw clenched looking at the audacity of this man, prancing around here with different women every night despite having a wife. She looked at the papers in her hand as her fist tightened around them before she walked over to him with a deadly gaze. The women were irritated by her coming in between them but after one look at her calm but deadly eyes they ran away. She saw how his eyes were filled with frustration because of this disruption, but he still didn't realize it was Natalie standing a few meters away. Natalie's anger rose further as she stood in front of him before throwing the papers on the table in front of him.
8 months later Natalie woke up groaning slightly, caressing her belly. She was near the due date now. Sighing she got up to go to the bathroom. After she was done showering she wore a white summer dress. Getting out of the bathroom she saw Adrian sitting on the bed waiting for her. He immediately got up and walked to her to kiss her forehead. Natalie smiled lightly but she had a slight headache along with back pain and not to mention how her feet were killing her. Adrian saw right through that tight smile knowing she must be in some pain and helped her sit on the bed. He brought a tray forward which had all her favorite food. Natalie didn't really have any weird cravings but she craved crazily for chocolates and cheese. Not together though. Natalie smiled lightly at the food in front of her, knowing Adrian cooked it all. He didn't trust any maid to cook for her. He would stay at home most of the time for her and cook instead, sometimes Dimitri and Maxim would too cook for her. I
3 years later Natalie hesitatingly looked up from the ground into Thomas's eyes. She finally gathered the courage and told him everything about his real parents. Her heart was thumping loudly as she waited to hear him but he was blankly gazing at her. He was just nine years old but probably more mature than an 18-year-old today. Thomas sighed almost in disappointment making Natalie hold her breath as negative thoughts started coming into her head. Was he blaming her? Did he not see her as his mother anymore? Did he not love her anymore? Would he not want to live with her anymore? What if he started hating— She was pulled out of her thought as she felt his finger wiping a lone tear that fell from her eye without her even realizing it. A frown was visible on Thomas's face as he wiped the tear away and then looked at Natalie with a small scowl. "Did you really think I would blame you for something you were never at fault for?" Natalie could hear the slight anger in his voice, sadne
6 months later Adrian and Isaac looked at each other and sighed, they were surrounded by the police. They got out of their cars with their guns pointed at them and yelled, "Hands in the air and drop your weapons." Isaac raised an eyebrow at that but Adrian cleared his throat looking at him, signaling him to do as said. Reluctantly they both threw the gun in their hand on the ground. Adrian looked at Isaac, as he dropped another gun on the ground. The cops were right in front of them as one yelled, "Drop all your weapons. Fast" "Like I need any to fight you.." he muttered under his breath, Adrian held back the smirk forming on his lips. Then Isaac proceeded to through five guns strapped onto him on the ground and when the cops thought he was done, he started dropping a few knives he had with him as well. The cops were a little frightened they knew who these two were but they still held a gallant look on their faces. Their jaw dropped to the ground when they saw so many knives and
"After the dark nights, there is always a sunrise..." Natalie walked into her room, her eyes on the book in her hand. Adrian was sitting on a chair as he too had a few books scattered on the table. "Just two more weeks" Natalie sighed as she sat down on Adrian's lap. His attention immediately turned to her as he wrapped his arm around her waist. He looked at her with utmost love. She looked up from her book feeling his gaze and raised an eyebrow in question. He didn't answer with words but smiled softly and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Two more weeks alone." He corrected Natalie making her chuckle as she nodded. After the whole story was finally revealed and Roman paid for what he did. Natalie and Adrian were forced to go back to the US to finish the degrees they had left in between. They were hesitant at first but Dimitri urged them to finish it while he and Maxim will handle the mafia business. Not that it really needed any special attention now. It was working splendidly
"Guess I never knew love how love knew me..." Roman was laying on his luxurious chair. Pride filled in his heart. He won. He won after all these years. The moment Natalie died he had won. He chuckled as he drank some scotch. He was the king of the mafia world now. Everyone feared him. They all called him the best leader of all. He killed his brother's murderers. He took Maxim's revenge. He chuckled as he opened his cupboard and got out that gun. The sniper rifle he used to kill his brother. This was where his story began. This was where he started to write his fate. He suddenly heard some commotion outside. He got up and walked out curiously. It was all peaceful now so what was this about. Then a man came running to him. "Sir Dimitri attacked us!" Roman's eyes widened. Didn't he kill him? "What the hell are you saying, you idiot! He is dead." He snarled at the man's face with anger laced in his voice. He shook his head in fear as he spoke, "Sir he is right outside. He is aliv
Dimitri couldn't believe his ears, his sister, Mila was in love. She was pregnant too. His heart ached thinking how all her happiness was taken away in one moment. He was going to be an uncle, and a small version of his sister would be roaming around. Not only did she lose it all, but she also died very painfully... Adrian's eyes were teary too. Why did he ever help that man? Wasn't he the one because of whom he succeeded so many times. Why did he ever believe his father without thinking for himself first? He just was lost in the fact that he was his family. That his father must be right, he could have never thought that he was burning with envy for his own brother who actually helped him reach where he was today that he was so insecure about his position in the gang, that the post meant so much to him he could even kill his own brother. Adrian was ashamed of himself, he always thought twice before trusting someone. But he was blind when it came to his father. And now he lost her he
"Old scars don't fade so soon.." Adrian froze and the man walked up to him with a small smile on his face. "Missed me?" Dimitri and Isaac too took a look at the man and were blown away. They couldn't believe this was happening... "How?' Adrian whispered, he felt like he was hallucinating. He couldn't believe that right in front of him stood his uncle, who he thought died long ago. Maxim Smirnov. Adrian could see the scars on his face, the scars were the proof he was in that accident. But how did he survive and where was he all this time? "You survived? But how?—" Maxim came to Adrian and pulled him into a hug. Adrian hugged him back, even though he was happy that his uncle was here, that he was alive he still couldn't feel happiness, he felt her missing and that was something too big to overcome. Isaac too was astonished to see him. His father was very close with Maxim, he always told great things about Maxim to him. Isaac also knew that had he been alive his father wouldn't
"And he was left with was a bruised heart..." Leonid stood in front of the door as he knocked on it. Isaac quickly stood up and walked to the door. He was worried out of his mind, Natalie was not picking up his calls, he got to know Leonid was abducted but he knew nothing about what was happening. He even searched around a few places but found nothing. He even called Adrian but no result. Dimitri too was worried looking at the ground and thinking deeply, he had a bad feeling, that something was not right. If Leonid was kidnapped Adrian would have gone to save him and since Roman didn’t know anything about them Adrian might be able to handle him, but now when even Natalie was not answering her phone it made him even more agonized, he knew how his daughter was and he just hoped she was fine, and everyone else too. Opening the door he found a bloodied-up Leonid on the door, Isaac looked at him worriedly and asked. "What happened to you? Why no one told us anything? What is going on
