“Don’t need you to say the words.....your eyes tell enough.”Natalie was sitting looking around completely uninterested. Today she regretted coming since two of her classes were canceled because the teachers were absent. Plus now she would have to even face him later for their class together after what happened last night. Just wonderful.She never ever actually did get attracted to anyone. She knew about her background and didn’t want to drag anyone into that dangerous world and all the drama because immaturity was not something she looked forward to ever. That basically crossed out everyone but then there is Adrian. Just the only problem was his name, Smirnov mainly. That is what she told herself at least despite knowing fully well her past was also in the way.Since morning Tyler was roaming around with her when Amanda had to go to her classes. Tyler was a bit more touchy today. Even though he was quite subtle about it it didn’t go unnoticed by her. She knew she had to make it clea
“I trust you, and not a third person talking about you.”Natalie was walking to her car when someone grabbed her hand roughly and pushed her against her car. She turned ready to punch the shit out of the person who touched her like this but she paused as she found Greyson in front of her. He was towering over her with a furious expression gritting his teeth. Natalie noticed the injuries on his face and the slightly fading black eye. What happened to him?She was about to push him away sick of his actions but halted as he spoke in an enraged tone."You think you got me beaten so I won't do anything? Huh?" He yelled slamming his fist on the car. "I will show you exactly what I can do to ruin your life!" Then with a dark chuckle, he leaned forward and spoke "How do you think people will see you then? How will he see you then? A look of fear passed through her eyes which he recognized easily. She no longer wondered what beating her was talking about as she was still, fear crawling in her
“She was bad, he was worst, and together they were horrible......for others.”It had been a few days and Adrian would enjoy the time he spent with her, was it in college or sometimes when she would come over to meet Tim. He would always try to rile her up just to get some reaction, make her lose her calm attitude. He loved to bring up something related to the kiss one way or the other which ended up, all the same, her glaring at him with enraged fire in her eyes knowing fully well that he was doing that deliberately. But he would just arrogantly smirk in return but mentally he would be smiling. He knew he was the only person she showed her anger to because most of the time she had a blank expression like him. They didn’t care about showing anyone what they felt but when she would get angry at him it almost made him feel special. It was something he now quite look forward to...their interaction.Adrian sat down on his bed as he went through his phone. He had managed to get the meeting's
“How ironic that a common enemy put the other two together.”Adrian was walking out to his car to get some video games that really help him to keep Timofey occupied. He loved his brother dearly but sometimes his cheekiness was a bit too much.As he turned around a corner he ran into a kid. The kid stumbled back but balanced himself before he could fall. Then he looked up with a tiny glare on his face.Jerry...His expression immediately turned into a light smile as he looked up at Adrian. “Tom!”Adrian chuckled at the nickname.“Still don’t trust me enough to give me your name? He spoke shaking his head.At that, Jerry looked a little hesitant like he wanted to but had some doubts. Adrian could see it easily and not wanting to pressurize this tiny person he changed the topic.“You’re with someone?”“Yess and this is the reason why I don’t give you my name you keep asking me questions like you want to kidnap me or something.”Adrian chuckled. “My mistake. You should go before—“He sto
“And how did it change exactly?”Natalie was in her room contemplating whether to go to college or not. It was not exactly the best place to talk with Adrian. But her pride didn’t exactly let her not go either. She didn’t want to look like a coward. Just tell him what you have told to everyone else....it should be easy.An hour later she was parking her car, slamming it shut she walked into the college. Today they were supposed to work on their project again so she went to the library first. She didn’t even have to search for him as he sat there in his black shirt like owned the place. His dark eyes quickly snapped to hers as he heard footsteps in his direction. Natalie didn’t look up at him as she pulled her chair out a chair sat down.She somewhat agreed to tell him because he would know one way or the other through investigation, but this news would spread among the other people of the mafia as well. She couldn’t have that. The fewer people know the better.Adrian’s dark eyes were
Adrian wanted to speak but she didn't let him. There was a sudden change in her eyes. He could see it clearly making him clench his jaw in anger. She was gonna push him away again. She was gonna like nothing ever happened...He wouldn't let her.Just as she reached the door to walk out he came up behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist pushing her into his chest. His grip was tight enough to not let her escape. "You need to listen to me." He spoke in a cold voice.She didn't reply but Adrian wasn't waiting for one either. He grabbed her hand and pulled her inside a small storage room in the library. He closed the door, locking it, and turned to her.He stood right in front of her, glaring down at her. “You’re a hypocrite. You know how you feel. I’ve seen it. You can’t hide it from me. You’re just scared to hear the words from me because you won’t be able to deny it.” Her heart was racing and her palms were getting sweaty. “Well Natalie, deal with it. I’m. In. Love. With. Yo
“I had your back covered while you had mine...”Adrian tightened his arms around Natalie's waist as she sat sideways on his lap. He tucked a piece of hair behind her eyes and she glanced at him with a soft look in her eyes that made his heart race. He was about to say something but his phone rang. Natalie was about to get up but he didn't let her, making her smile. He smiled a little and pulled out his phone. She leaned back her head on his shoulder closing her eyes. It won't easy for them so it was better to enjoy these moments as much as they could now.It felt blissful...their hatred turning into a slight friendship to love, it was a long way already they had crossed. She sighed softly placing her hand on his chest, feeling his heart beating under it. This simple moment held so much meaning to both of them. Maybe they were both stupid to fall in love with each other, to trust their enemy but they have seen what happens to them when they are in front of each other. That look in th
“Some wounds just don’t heal...”Adrian got a call from his father a few days later. he picked it up and spoke in an equally disinterested tone. His father didn't even bother to ask about the change in his tone. Adrian doubted if he even realized it, he always did see him as a mere soldier to help him destroy others and gain more and more power.“We had a loss in the market.” Adrian gritted his teeth as his father hid the actual thing from him, and how he referred to sex trafficking as the market. But he didn’t say anything. If he wants to stop his father now, he has to do it silently without him even knowing what hit him.“What do you want me to do?” His voice was emotionless as he hide the anger flowing through him.“Expand our business. Get more deals there.”Adrian's eyes were burning with anger. His father now wanted him to get more money.“I’ll see what I can do.” Keeping his reply short he cut the call. Not wanting to spoil his mood further.He threw his phone on the bed and wen
