Cyril once again took upon a challenge and played a dangerous game but he never thought this time, his victory will become his biggest downfall. The Russian mafia would be reduced to his knees after his obedient little bird would decide to embrace her freedom away from his toxicity. A story of deceit, betrayal, twisted game and obsession. When the dangerous playful challenge would ignite an unwanted attraction curling it into bloodthirsty obsession forcing the ruthless mob boss to paint the town red just bring his escaped bird back to his cage.

She mumbled looking through the completed material placed in front of her, there was something missing in the painting, she laid down her whole heart yet she wasn't satisfied."It's your brother's marriage and you're going to skip it?" Lily chuckled at his grumpy voice before placing her brush down."I definitely won't, I will definitely come back a month before the wedding, but if I tried coming back this early my work will be put backwards." He sighed not wanting to argue with her anymore as he knew how much this competition meant to her."Alright, tell me about yourself, how are you doing? Did someone disturbed you?" As expected of her protective older brother, she was sure he was going to ask her if anyone tried hitting on their sister.Liliana badly wanted to share her whatever the relationship she had with Cyril with her brother but thinking of the extreme reactions she got from them after s
Author's PovLily stirred in her sleep steadily opening her eyes, she habitually forwarded her hand to grab her phone from the side table but instead her hand met with something hard making her clear out of her vision. She moved her hand slightly feeling something like flesh under her palm, it was warm yet so hard making her snap her eyes to the person laid beside her in panic.Her wide blue eyes met with bare tanned flesh of the man laid beside her, he didn't have any restrain on her, they were just laying beside each other without making any physical contact but Lily still felt blush rising up her neck burning her whole face. She gulped when Cyril moved in his sleep turning his body in her direction still being deep in sleep.She gulped watching this unusual sight, his face was really like an art, her lips parted as she moved her pupils all over his face drinking in his every feature like she was painting his image in her mind. Her head tilted slightly letting her flashy ocean eyes
Author's PovA month later Lily smiled as she stared at the lunch box in her hands walking towards the company Cyril told her about. She wanted to surprise him, she had been trying to learn a few dishes so she could cook for him. She still remember their small interaction where he confessed he never was able to taste homemade food, her heart still felt heavy for him remembering his words.Cyril lost his mother during the delivery, she lost too much blood and couldn't he saved, it was a miracle that he didn't die. While his father was never there for him, he was always busy with his business and never was attentive to Cyril. Lily didn't like prying in someone's past especially when she had decided to built a different future with him, so she didn't push him much to reveal much when she realized how hesitant and reluctant he seemed.It was too early to open up about their deep secrets so she decided to give them a little time, Lily also shared about her family and why she didn't want t
Author's PovLily's eyes went towards the vibrating phone laid on the side table as she gulped, as expected it was again Cyril calling her. She grabbed the source of her annoyance and switched off the phone before throwing it on the sofa. Her displeased gaze went back to the painting she was busy with until his bombarding calls came in.It had been 3 days of that terrifying night with Cyril, him pulling her in the water didn't upset her as much as the humiliation he gave her. Maybe it was just a simple kiss from his point of view but it was insulting to her. She didn't like how he didn't care if she was ready or not, he just wanted to kiss her and he did it, never really caring about her want.Liliana wasn't used to such misbehaviour, she was never handled like that or met any man who would put such a dominance over her, Cyril dropped her back to her apartment, he didn't for once apologized or looked regretful for going all caveman on her. Rather he seemed relaxed and satisfied and th
Author's PovWith his palm resting on his cheek, Cyril stared at the curious girl who was busy looking around the place he brought her to. She had a small smile playing over her lips as she explored this new area of this beautiful city which she hadn't before. It was a beach, completely isolated with no living being anywhere to be seen, only the shining board filled with lights was placed there with the dining table on which their dinner was placed was settled."You know I am your date, you should give me your attention not to the place." Cyril's deep complaining voice entered her ears as she instantly snapped her head to him blinking at him."Uhmm, sorry, I just love the look of this place, I couldn't get the inspiration for my next painting but now I have an idea," Cyril raised his eyebrows he straightened his back and looked at her with curious eyes."What idea? I definitely want to know," For the first time Lily shook her head with a teasing smile."Nope, when I will be done with
Author's PovLily stared at the sharp eyed man with her flustered gaze as she shifted trying to distance themselves even more, she had never been proposed or pursued like this, the way he said those words and the desperation in his eyes for her to stay for him was so intense that she couldn't even gather her strength to speak. Lily was draped in an ankle length light pink dress, her hair was tied in a messy bun and her feet were covered with matching slippers which she liked wearing inside the house. She never imaged Cyril to appear before her in this hour and could never even think of having an interest in her. Lily after her first experience with her ex-boyfriend never tried to gamble on wanting to have a relationship again. After her break up with her ex, she decided to let go of this love shackles and simply focus on her career, Lily trusted her parents to make a better decision for her, she knew one day when she will be ready to settle down they will find a match for her and she
Author's Pov"I understand Char, but I can't attend this party. I have a lot of work pending." Lily said working on her first painting which hadn't been completed even after all her work, she wasn't just satisfied with it yet and kept on refining the errors whenever her eyes fell on it."Fine, Lada wanted to meet you, but its fine if you don't want to." Lily sighed placing her paint brush down."Char, I understand your concern for me, but I really don't want to get tangled with her son, I am fine the way I am." Charlotte hummed before the maid entered her room and informed her that someone came to meet her making her chuckle softly."What happened?" Lily asked when Charlotte's small chuckled entered her ears making her curious at her reaction of what maid might had informed her."Nothing much, I will talk to you later, take care." With that she hung up leaving the curious cat stare at her phone. Lily wasn't insanely a nosy person but she definitely wanted to know every details of what
Author's PovLiliana gulped after coming out of the villa, she palmed her thumping chest, she was terrified. The earlier encounter she had with that unknown man had left her completely paralyzied in pure fear, for a second she thought her intuition of him having a dangerous aura around him was just her assumption but after his twisted smile and those meaningful glances he shot her while walking out made her run out right away. How did he even know her name?She rubbed her temple and took out of her phone feeling hunger striking her stomach, she had no heart to go back inside and eat anything, that man did good at scaring the shit out of her. She finally found a small Cafe near the villa but her eyes slightly tensed up watching the cloudy sky. What it started to rain? The Cafe was just a few minutes away and she didn't want to waste money on hiring a cab so she decided to walk towards her destiny.She was wearing a box heals and thankfully it didn't make harder for her to walk, she was
Author's Pov"Are you ready?" Lily stood up from the dressing chair after finding Charlotte leaning against the doorframe sipping on the glass of water she grabbed from the kitchen."Yeah." The moment she stood up, Charlotte frowned at her, she raked her eyes up and down shaking her head slightly like she was disapproving Lily's dress."What are you even wearing? We are going to a pool party, not some tea party!" Lily frowned looking down at herself, she was wearing a black knee sized dress which she thought would be fine for the occasion after all she wasn't actually going to jump in the pool anyways. She was just going there because Charlotte insisted on taking her."I think its fine." Charlotte sighed placing the glass on the side table before shrugging off."Fine, as you wish. Let's go." Lily did hesitate a bit watching how Charlotte didn't look happy with her dressing, and after seeing Charlotte's shimmery mini dress with high heels and hair curled at the end she knew maybe she l
