Weeks passed Natalie didn't contact her, and neither did Gail. She wanted to hurt Finn so much, but she couldn’t. She just hoped a kid in his life would change him. Isn't that what people say?She didn't fire him, she didn't give him any bigger job either. She didn't see him either. In fact, he was working under someone else now. Finn thought Natalie would let him give anything he wanted to protect her friendship with Gail but he was wrong. She really did leave this time. He panicked if she didn't care then what was the point of tolerating Gail and her dreams of them living as a family? So he changed his game, he made Gail talk to her again, emotionally blackmailing her that he didn't like this fight between them. So after a few months, she called her. And Natalie picked it up, she hoped she had changed her mind. But her hope shattered when she realized she didn't call her because she wanted to be friends with her again because she believed her but rather because Finn made her. Thi
“Love.... some indescribable but so desirable....”Natalie told Adrian the whole story to Adrian how Finn destroyed Gail's life. How he changed her which was why she was afraid to love him, when she felt an urge to be close to him she was scared. She was worried it would happen again, she would make a mistake again..she would change like Gail did. People see love with beauty and awe in their eyes but for her it was pain, she looked at it with hate in her heart. In her head love was just a word for obsession and selfishness, but when Adrian challenged her otherwise and she found herself getting into this trap of love, her first instinct was to run away from it. She longed to be away from it. It was not just her past, he was her enemy but it's indeed true you don't choose to fall in love or the person. The moment she felt him taking care of her, she didn't even realize she stopped minding it. When that impulse of extreme hate turned into this wanting to be with him, see him, love him
“Run love, I’m the truth you’re afraid of...” Natalie was quiet. How could she tell someone something which she still didn't want to accept? The memories resurfaced and it felt like they didn't happen years ago but just yesterday like they were still fresh. Adrian was still staring at her waiting for her to speak. But it was like she couldn't get the words out... "Talk to me." He rubbed his hand up and down her back. She looked in his eye afraid she would judge her but they just held concern for her. Like he wanted to take away the pain. She closed her eyes and took a breath. “Just try to let out once” Just try... She opened her eyes and that stoic look came back again as if it was a mask to fool herself that she was okay, that she was strong enough to say it. "One day I went to his house to take Gail's stuff, then his mother came." Natalie was staring out of the window, lost. Her tone was blank like she was too numb to feel what she was saying. But deep down it killed her so
"Some chapters just don't end so soon." Isaac opened the door and Natalie stepped. Isaac saw her eyes looked a little swollen and he was on high alert mode. "What—" "Where's Thomas?" "He has slept already" Natalie nodded. "And dad?" Isaac was just about to open his mouth when someone else spoke in a cold tone making them turn around to the source. "I'm right here." And just as Natalie predicted with one look at her face and he stormed towards her, worry clear in his eyes. He stood in front of her and looked out for any injuries. Then his eyes went to her bandaged hand. He held it up, and Isaac also came forward to examine it wondering how he missed it earlier. "What happened?" He asked in a serious tone, ready to go out to kill someone. "I accidentally hurt my hand on my phone." Dimitri looked like he wasn't gonna believe her so she took out her new phone. When she was sleeping Adrian had already replaced her phone. "I had to get a new one" Her eyes were a bit swollen bu
“A person you love is not supposed to be the missing piece of you rather he will help you find it to complete you.”Natalie came back to her room and found Dimitri standing by the window thinking over something deeply while Isaac was sitting on a chair tapping his foot on the ground impatiently. Seeing Natalie at the door he got up. He had a list of things to say to her."I hope you know that I don't like it when you hide things, especially which hurt you. I forgive you for this one but just make sure you tell me next time. Take that as a pact between us.”Natalie nodded with a gentle smile on her face. “Sorry.”He patted her head gently in response making her chuckle.Dimitri turned to look at them too. Their bond was even stronger than blood-related brother and sister. He smiled knowing they both had each other’s great support without realizing it.“Natalie” hearing Dimitri call her out they turned to him. With a warm tone, he continued, “I know you are worried about Thomas. But I've
“How can your love do something that no one else can....”Natalie walked out of her room, all ready to go to college. Dimitri was at the dining table, drinking tea as he read the news and Isaac was stuffing his mouth with food. Dimitri once in a while threw him a judgment look at how he ate but Isaac didn’t have any care for the world. Natalie smiled knowing this was actually the way they showed their love to each other. They would never say it, but Isaac only tested his limits because he knew he could. After all, Dimitri won't say anything to him. He indirectly felt the love he had for him and the same with Dimitri, Isaac didn't even bother to even talk to anyone except for him and Natalie. His trust in them alone told him he loved them to death. Natalie went near Thomas who was eyeing the two adults with a narrowed gaze. Why are they like this?“Don’t even think about it,” Natalie whispered to him as she sat down next to him. Thomas smiled at her and kissing her cheek mumbled, “goo
“It's the beat that my heart skips when I’m with you..”A few days passed by, and Adrian and Natalie’s relationship was running smoothly. He even once climbed into her room through the window just to see her since with Isaac here they couldn’t spend much time together apart from in college.Speaking of college Isabelle didn’t even dare show her face to Natalie or Adrian anymore. She kept her distance, despite not wanting to admit it she was smart enough to realize both Natalie and Adrian were just some students you could mess with. They held some power in their eyes alone, that could break their enemy with their stare alone.Tyler too respectfully kept his distance, he still didn't like seeing Adrian’s face though. He would only show up sometimes when Amanda was with Natalie who had no idea of the situation. Natalie did tell Amanda about Adrian to which she replied, ‘you both do look scary when you’re angry’ making Natalie chuckle heartily.Greyson just disappeared a few weeks ago. He
"Putting you first was not a choice but a wish I wanted to fulfill..."Natalie woke up when she felt the bus coming to a stop. Her head was resting on his shoulder. She looked up and saw Adrian leaning his head back on the headrest. His eyes closed but she could tell he was not sleeping.He was holding her hand, their intertwined hands perched in his lap. She didn’t move her head and rather leaned closer letting out a content sigh closing her eyes again. Adrian opened his eyes slowly and moved his other hand to tuck the loose strands of hair behind her ear.He looked outside the window and saw they had stopped for the students to get refreshments and snacks. He looked down at Natalie."Do you want something?""No, I'm good."Natalie looked up at him still resting her head on his shoulder, he nodded but his heart was thumping as she looked up at him with those honey-colored eyes shining brightly at him in the sun. He was sure she could hear it too. He couldn't help but want to touch her
“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
