|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||" Do you take Cassendra Mitchell as your lawfully wedded wife?", the priest awkwardly repeated, glancing between us. All the eyes were fixed on me as they waited for my response. Even Cassendra looked panicked, silently pleading.I stepped backwards, replied to the crowd sternly," I do not and will never...."The crowd all gasped in horror, standing up. My grandpa shouted from his chair," What the heck? Azrael!!! What are you saying?"Mr.Ronald Mitchell stormed forward to threaten me, his eyes turning red in anger," Luca! This isn't a joke. My daughter is standing to get married to you. How can you do this to her?"I smirked at them and finally pulled my eyes back at David who was bringing all the documents. I figured out that he was the only man whom I could trust blindly.The crowd was in uproar, gossiping loudly. I took the bag from David, opened it up to pull out the voice recorder. I turned around to show it to Cassendra before telling," Remember th

As if he knew I was dreaming, he began to walk towards me with large strides. The noisy reporters all backed away, opening a path for him.My mind went black with his presence. He wasn't supposed to be here for not at least a day. His expression was sullen as if he would crash the world down in a minute. Our eyes locked and I knew at that moment that he was here for real. My eyes traveled down to find him in his groom's suit. The flip in my heart turned unbearable, knowing that he was probably here after getting married.However, the last shocking part was yet to come. He came beside me to wrap an arm around my waist casually. Skimming his cold gaze on the reporters, he gave his statement, causing another uproar," Kiera is innocent. The child in her was mine. No one abandoned her or she is someone's mist
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||A week Later......." Mr.Luca, you wanted to see me?", it was the girl named Daria again, a smart one. I could tell how evil minded she was just by judging her appearance. She accepted the invite as soon as David called her to meet me.A week had passed yet I couldn't find any clue of Kiera's accident. There was no CCTV footage. Plus, no eye witness had seen Daria doing anything. However, I didn't give up investigating. If nothing didn't work out, one would surely work 'Bullet'." Take a seat, Miss Daria! Make yourself comfortable!", I mumbled, putting the burning cigarette between my lips. She started before I could ask her, playing the smart mouth game," If you called me here to ask about Kiera's accident, I know nothing. I have shots later on. So, I want you to finish it as early as possible."So daring! Huh! I just knew how to put this girl in place!" Relax, Miss Daria! What are you so afraid of? You didn't do anything wrong, right?" I asked with a pl
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||My eyes went dark at her words. Fuck..I was already restraining myself to not take her these days because her body was too weak. Now, the doctor had confirmed that she was fully recovered but she was mentally sick. I had all the urge to fuck her hard until she forgot about everything.She looked a little cowardly after being threatened with my icy stare. Biting her lips together, she muttered, asking me slowly," Why didn't you get married to Cassendra? You have to tell me first or else..I am not letting you come to me." My lips curled up into a smile. Finally, she was playing again just like our better days. I stripped off my trousers, muttered as I pointed at the water filled tub," First! Let me get in...You have tortured me enough already, Senorita!"I let myself fully naked, then walked into the tub. The water splashed from my movement. Thankfully, the tub was big enough to occupy us both. Stretching my arms out, I pushed her on my lap. She sat on my l
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" What do you want from me?", I asked coldly, stepping out of the room to find Jasper, standing a few feet away. He looked more vulnerable than other times. His face had a growing beard. He looked like aged overnight.I didn't wish to meet him. After what he had done to Anastasia, I felt disgusted with him. For the sake of our past relationship, I decided to let him talk to me for once. He seemed happy too after I appeared in front of him.I stayed in a remarkable distance, and wanted to call it off as early as possible. Jasper muttered, watching me closely," You are really here. I didn't expect you to come."I ignored his fake concern and repeated my question again," What do you want Jasper? Anastasia doesn't work here anymore. I really don't have time to gossip with you here."He stayed silent for a second but the next moment, he surprised me with his question," Are you really dating Mr. Luca?"Fuck..Did he come here all the way to ask me this?I didn't
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Seriously, water guns? You two want to play with a water gun beside the beach?", I scolded them with my eyes, and saw my son's lips pulling into a big smile. I managed to convince his father on this vacation after sucking his dick last night. He said that vacation was boring but I was stubborn for a new start. I knew that happiness wasn't supposed to stay the same forever but at least, I wanted to cherish it as long as it was with me. I wished moments like this just the three of us but this father and son were always occupied in shootings. Just like his father, Ryan also thought that the beach was boring.Ryan spoke happily as he shot the waters on his father," Mommy, you should enjoy the beach instead of scolding us. It's fun to us!"I scoffed, settling myself on the sand," Do as you wish! Don't come to me!"The cool breeze hit my skin, taking my worries away. I always had a weakness for ocean. It looked like peace whenever I watched the shores. My ears
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Who is the paparazzi? Bring him to me NOW!!", Luca shouted at his phone, passing his order to Matteo who was out to search for the guy who exposed our son to the public. I kept staring at the released photos. It was taken in the evening when I went to the local stores. I couldn't believe that I had no privacy in my life anymore.He was mad at me, so mad that he wasn't talking to me. However, I couldn't blame him because the entire trip was my idea. I seduced him to bring us to this distant island. But I had no idea that there were so many spy paparazzi who followed us everywhere.Now, the fear had grown stronger because the news of Ryan was all over the internet. The Russians were definitely going to know everything. The thought of Ryan being in danger made everything worse inside me.Luca made a few calls, arranging more guards to secure Ryan. He wanted to take down the photos but it was too late already. When we were playing in the water, those photos wen
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" You are so ridiculous to make such a request!", I glared at my man who seemed relaxed after convincing CEO Konstantine with his words. He agreed to this movie under one condition. One, his guards should be around always and two, he was allowed to meet me anytime.He let out a scoff, plopping on the couch lazily with a beer in his hand," I have already been so generous to agree with this offer. You are still complaining?"Honestly, I wasn't complaining. I understood his fear about the Russians. He just wanted me safe like me. I smiled bitterly at the thought of leaving him for days. It was surreal to imagine how reliable I became on him subconsciously. The man whom I used to hate has become a part of my world now.I tiptoed towards him gracefully,sat on his lap to ask with a grin," Are you angry because I am leaving you?"He let out a snort, his grip tightening around my waist," What do you mean by leaving me? You will be gone for 10 days only."The filmi
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV || Walking on the aisle with my son was just an imaginary thought in my life. However, my wishful dream had finally come true with the help of this man who was holding the other hand of my son. He looked so handsome in his wedding suit that I could barely take my eyes off from him. He was too happy. I could feel it through his eyes. Our wedding was simple but I felt like it was the best thing that ever happened in my life. My dearest son became my ring bearer today who got big kiss from his favorite daddy for giving us the ring. Okay! I wasn't his favourite..He said the other day.. Hopefully, my twins would love me more than their brother. I was six months pregnant with a big belly. I wanted my twins to see the wedding but Luca didn't want to wait to think that something would go wrong again. I fulfilled his wish by admitting that It was okay to marry whenever he wanted. I looked at the crowd to see all my familiar faces then looked back at my man whose eyes
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||4 months later......." How long are you going to stay awake? You don't even sleep at home! You will fall sick, Kiera!", Molly spoke with concern, watching me as I stared unblinking on the bed.I couldn't sleep at night. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw him, bathing in blood all because to save me. But here, this man was torturing me more than death. 4 months had passed since Luca entered coma. Cassendra stabbed him too deep which caused his internal functions, breaking down slowly. The doctor also said that he had no chance of waking up again but I was still helpful. I was going to wait for years if it was needed. Because I loved him too much to let go of him. We had nothing to lose except each other.I smiled at Molly, standing up from the bed," I am fine, Molly. In fact, I feel lonely at home. Whenever I am close to him, I feel peace."She sighed helplessly and smiled at my decision. Thanks to her assistance, my company was doing well now. There was David
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Don't.. don't you dare to come to me..Luca will kill you, Marcello!", I shouted at him weakly as he started to press me to a corner. After he said that he wanted to fuck me in front of everyone, Cassendra, that bitch left me alone. Those guys also dared not to stay and exited hurriedly.Marcello hussed me, peeking at the door before saying in a low voice," Don't talk too much! I am here to save you. I don't lay hands on women who belong to someone else. Anyways,you have to pretend that I have really raped you in front of them. Do you understand? Luca will be here in a minute. You must pretend that you are scared of me."I stared at him blankly, wondering why he was helping his enemy. I couldn't help but ask in a whisper," Why.. why are you helping me? I don't understand.."He shot a glare at me before instructing me," You ask too much. Ask your man if he stays alive. Now, tore apart your clothes and make yourself look like a tortured woman. Aren't you an

He just sent me a few pictures of Kiera where she was laying unconscious. I told her to stay near me but she went away before I could hold her back. That's how, Igor got her again.Igor laughed through the speaker, provoking me," Hiss..You look like you care for this girl too much, don't you, Luca?"I clenched my teeth hard. I wished to kill him with my own bare hands but I knew that I was putting Kiera's life at stake. So, I had to put my words carefully.I growled hard, breathing heavily," What do you want, Igor?"He sneered, gritting his words out," I wanted to kill your boy but you have hidden him too fucking well. However, I don't mind because I got your another precious thing. Your baby doll! What do I want? I want you dead, Luca! I want to see you on your knees! I want you to beg me just the way my son probably b
|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Congratulations on becoming the youngest CEO!", another CEO came to greet me at the business party. I thanked him, pretending to smile," Thank you!"I toasted the glass and drank the wine. My eyes were always looking around, searching for a familiar face subconsciously. A week had passed since my father died. After I was done with Luca, he never approached me again. I was back to my normal, trouble-less life but I was missing a part of my heart. Whenever the thought ran across my mind that I would never see him again, I felt a burn in my throat, tears blurred my painted eyes.However, it put my heart at ease that Ryan would be safe and sound. This young CEO Gary, continued to chat, spiking conversation unreasonably," I heard that you were dating, Mr.Luca. Why isn't he here with you? Honestly Kiera! I must tell you this. That man is complicated. You should find a better man who is younger like me!"I gave him a cold glance and excused myself, feeling suffo
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||" Kiera! Everyone is waiting for you! Why aren't you coming out!", I spoke to her in my gentlest voice that I could muster up at that moment.Kiera stood by the window silently. Mr.Stevens body was brought back to the house. The funeral arrangements were done. Everyone was waiting for her arrival only. I didn't dare to approach her as she was too quiet ever since she returned from the hospital.When she didn't give any answer, I tiptoed over to hold her but she threw my hands off as soon as I touched her," Don't!!"Her voice sounded like a cold whisper. Turning around, she stood facing me, tears pouring from her eyes. She muttered in a deadly whisper," It's all your fault!"I swallowed the lump in my throat. I almost predicted this to happen but it was too fast. I tried to comfort her," Kiera..I.. really tried..I didn't know.."" IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, LUCA! I WISH THAT YOU NEVER APPEARED IN MY LIFE!", Kiera shouted out suddenly in hatred. Her eyes fixed on
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||The air smelt like blood. My surroundings were completely foggy, blocking my eyes to see through the fog. I coughed hard, smelling the gas fume which could cause nausea. I assumed that the incident had happened within just a few moments. My guards were still unaware about the attack." DAD!!!", Kiera shouted out in a cry, ran from my side to find her dad on the couch. My eyes darkened when I saw the blood, spurting from his chest. He was shot a few times, still alive but I didn't know for how long he would hold on. I quickly scanned around my eyes to find my son, called him out loud," RYAN!!! RYAN!!"My stomach scrunched in fear of seeing my son dead. His grandfather was shot which meant that he was targeted too. Either dead or alive, Ryan should be around nearby. I couldn't wait for David or my guards to appear here. Walking through the heavy layer of smoke, I strode upstairs in search of Ryan, calling him loudly on the way," Ryan! Son! Where are you? Rya
|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||" How long have you been working as his mole?", I asked the girl in front of me who was working as the full time maid in my mansion. She was found talking in the Russian language today. No doubt, she worked for my sworn enemy.Her lips were sealed, refusing to talk but darling, I got no time to play. David was indeed my best man to understand what was going on in my mind. With a whis, he inserted the painful needles into her fingertips. The girl let out a cry, muttering some curses in the Russian language which none of us understood.These past few days have gone without any troubles. Kiera would be finally back from the academy today. I couldn't wait to fuck her hard for leaving me alone this days. Although I forced her many times to touch herself on the phone, she was too mad at me and didn't even talk for a day. When I was preparing to meet my girl and my son, this unexpected news came to me. I wondered how she managed to stay quiet until today.The girl
|| KIERA STEVENS's POV|| I loved nights in Italy. It was my second trip to this country and I was loving it already. I looked back at Luca on the bed who was fast asleep. His answer to my previous question was nothing but an intense kiss. Indirectly, he was telling me that if he wanted to hurt me, there was only one possibility that he would hurt me by loving too much. Tugging him under the blanket carefully, I tiptoed on the corridor to look at the sea ahead. Sister Ainslen's mansion was too beautiful. I heard that she liked the sea the most. So, Luca bought this mansion for her which was very close to the sea. Standing in the corridor, I spotted David in the distance who was facing the sea probably smoking. I had curiosity regarding his intentions with sister Ainslen. I had to figure it out. So, I walked forward to him, knowing that Luca wasn't going to wake up so soon. " David...", I called him, standing behind him to see him, throwing the cigarette away quickly. He bowed at me s
