"Would you still choose to stand against me if it means to lose your daughter, Ms. Aniya Meier?" His words halted her feet. Her body stiffened completely.Getting up on his feet, he made his way towards her again. He stopped just right behind her."Would you still choose to fight against me if it would cost you your daughter's life, Miss Meier?" He uttered while standing behind her and staring at her back. She neither responded nor turned around.Stepping forward, he stood in front of her and then witnessed those tears of extreme pain and fear engulfing in her eyes. Now she was not looking like that fearless woman anymore who was ready to go against him at any cost but now she was looking like that helpless mother who was terrified for her child's life. Taking a step in her direction, he lowered his head a bit to match her face level."Will you be able to let your hatred for me win over your love for your daughter, mi cara?" His words froze her soul, along with her heart. He was so c
"I will be your sole possessor, cara mia," Like a lifeless body, Aniya just stared at that person in front of her. She didn't even know how and what to react. This man before her was seeming everything but a human to her because a human could never think so much disgusting and immoral for another human. He was trying to possess her like she was a non living thing, a toy whom he would use to play as per his desires. Her frozen reaction filled his gaze with more amusement. Uncrossing his legs, he lifted his glass of liquor from the table. "Because we both know you are not going to get any solution to your problems by standing against me but….." he paused to chug down the entire liquid of the glass in one gulp. "We can solve all your problems if you agree to get under me," he chuckled, shamelessly. Aniya was too traumatised to even react to his words. She just gaped at him like a statue. Grabbing those scattered papers from the floor, he placed them on the table in front of him. "S
Gazing at the face of her sleeping daughter, Aniya was gently sliding her palm over her head. She reached her home almost after the middle of the night. Niova was waiting for Aniya. She even tried to contact her but her phone was switched off and after watching her state, Niova turned shocked but it was nothing as compared to that shock which she received after Aniya told her whatever had happened to her in those last few years. Niova was aghast after hearing everything."Ani, I am sorry. It was all my mistake," Aniya heard Niova apologising to her. She was sitting beside her on the bed. "I should have never tried to suggest to you about that bastard, Kael Bruez's name," extreme amount of guilt was laced in her tone because Niova knew that somehow she was the one to be blamed for all of this. She should have never sent her friend to a person like him then nothing of this would have ever happened.Aniya trailed her eyes towards Niova and noticed that remorse in her eyes."It is not yo
"Ms. Meier," Aniya's brows creased in confusion when she watched that unfamiliar man at her door. He was dressed up in a complete black formals. She was seeing him for the very first time in her life. "Yes," she said. Little Flora gaped at that man with her wide curious eyes while hiding behind her mother. "I am Dario Quzer. Mr Alfanso has sent me here to give this to you," that man informed and hearing that name from his mouth, Aniya froze. It was his man. Aniya saw that man extending a bag towards her. She was not ready to take this, so she made no efforts to take that bag from him until "This has your belongings," his voice was sharp and curt, just like his boss but his gaze seemed a bit tender as compared to those blank dusky eyes of his boss's. Aniya swallowed before lifting her hand up. She took that bag from his hand. Aniya didn't even try to welcome him in because no things and people of his were allowed to enter inside her home, especially around her daughter. She looke
"FLORA…." Aniya screamed out of her lungs and ran towards her daughter. Kneeling down on the floor, she picked her in her arms."Ora…What happened, baby?" Tears started streaming down from her eyes as she witnessed her daughter groaning in pain. She was clutching her head tightly. Her eyes were closed."Momma….m…my head hurts," the little girl started whimpering in pain. Her friend, Oliver, became worried too."Baby, don't worry. Momma will make everything alright," Aniya panicked and immediately got up on her feet while holding a crying Flora in her embrace."Oliver, will you inform your mother about all of this, dear? I am taking Flora to the doctor," she requested. The boy nodded his head and after that, Aniya immediately left her home and went straight to Flora's doctor.………Aniya was standing beside her unconcious daughter as her doctor was examining her. Her tears refused to stop falling from her eyes. Only she knew what she had felt in those moments when she was taking Flora to
"Aniya, please think one more time," Aniya, who was standing in front of the mirror, heard her friend telling her. Her body was wrapped in a plain black maxi dress which was covering her till her knees. Her sea-green eyes were fixed at her own reflection in the mirror where she could see her eyes had lost their allure whereas her face had turned gloomy. She was looking lifeless because she knew very soon her soul was about to get stained with the darkness of that heinous predator. Her dignity, her self-respect, her body…everything was going to get slaughtered brutally that night and she was so helpless that she was not capable of doing anything to stop it. In fact, she was herself going to hand him her existence willingly so that he could wreck it ruthlessly."There will be no stepping back if you agree to this," Niova uttered, terrified just by thinking the possible outcomes Aniya was going to endure that night because of her decision."The damage and harm he would cause you, it is
"But before signing these papers, I have some conditions," He heard those words rolling out of her words which made him raise his one brow at her. He had not expected something like this for her to say to him. Conditions? She had conditions to put forward to him? Interesting. Aniya peered into his brown eyes while holding those papers towards him. She noticed his gaze shifting down towards her hand on those papers and again they trailed upward towards her face. "Conditions?" His voice was laced with astonishment. Aniya found him stepping closer to her without taking his eyes away from her face. "I never knew that things are allowed to put forward their conditions for getting possessed," a smirk crept on his face as he spoke those words to her which made Aniya clench her jaw. He was calling her a thing but she knew there was no lie hidden beneath his words anymore. She had become a thing and he was going to take her possession tonight. His gaze scanned her entire face thoroughly w
After signing those papers, Aniya dropped that pen on the table. Her tears were aggressively falling from her eyes when she heard his footsteps getting closer towards her. She felt his feet stopping just right behind her."Now you don't need to be afraid of anyone or anything anymore, Ms. Meier," she heard him cooing those words in her ear which made her close her eyes tightly. Now his closeness had started scaring her even more because now she knew she had no escape from it.She felt one of his arms getting wrapped around her abdomen and he slowly turned her around to face him. Aniya didn't dare to open her eyes to look at his face because she didn't want to witness that vicious triumph on his face of defeating her.Grabbing her waist, he pulled her closer. Roaming his eyes all over her face and closed eyes, he lifted his hand to tug the strands of her hair away from her face.He put an amiable kiss beneath her ear which filled more tears into her closed eyes but now her hands had go
"So, handsome gentlemen…..hold onto your hearts," Flora announced, running out of the kitchen, making both her father and uncle Dario look at her. They both smiled at her while sitting on the dining table. "Your beautiful wives here finally, so please welcome ...Mrs Aniya Riccardo Alfanso and Mrs Niova Dario Quzer," she uttered while extending her both hands towards the entrance. Both Aniya and Niova walked in with the bowl of food in their hands. A smile was ghosting on both of their faces. "Gentlemen, please help your beautiful wives," everyone chuckled, hearing Flora's words and both the men stood up on their feet to help their wives carrying the food to the dining table. When Dario was taking them to a restaurant in his car, Niova called him and there she told her husband to bring the Alfanso family to their home for lunch as she had been missing them for a week now. Everyone agreed because both of their families shared a very deep and close bond with each other. "Where's Rica
"Papa….." Flora cried out, feeling the head of the gun getting pressed against her temple. Her watery eyes remained fixed at her father. That man pushed the gun more closely against her, bringing more tears in her eyes. Riccardo's each and every man turned alert because that situation had turned extremely dangerous. "Papa, please save me…." She started sobbing loudly. Riccardo keenly stared at Flora's every single action. That man chortled, hearing Flora's loud cries of help. "Seems like your daughter is not that brave like you and your son, Alfanso," that man remarked, gripping Flora's neck more tightly."You failed to make her like you. She is a fucking coward," he laughed at her helplessness. Riccardo didn't part his mouth to say a single word but didn't blink away from his daughter even for a second."No, please leave me…. don't kill me, please…" Flora cried out more loudly while shivering. Her whimpers made that man smirk more cunningly."Please. I am begging you. Don't kill me
"Today was so fun. I really loved it," A smile formed on Riccardo's and Aniya's faces by hearing their 20 years old daughter. "All thanks to my piccola for suggesting this idea," Riccardo uttered, focusing his eyes on the road while controlling the steering wheel of his car. Flora beamed, hearing her father as she was the one who suggested to have a family day out. "Yeah….yeah….you and your favourite daughter, dad," that voice made Flora trail her eyes down at her 16 years old brother whose head was placed on her lap as he was trying to sleep. Flora frowned and hitted his head. "Hey…that hurts, you ugly eagle," the 16 years old spat, rubbing his head and taking his head up from his sister's lap. "Aww! my little baby brother. Be grateful I didn't break your ugly jaw," Flora passed her brother a fake smile, making him scowl. "You both shut your mouths and don't you dare to start here," they heard their mother warning them, who was sitting on the passenger seat of the car. Riccard
"Ready," Riccardo tied Flora's pigtails, making the little girl extremely happy. Taking a glance at her reflection in the mirror, Flora showed her papa a thumbs up. He chuckled and pecked the tip of her nose."Ora, ready for school, baby?" Aniya entered their bedroom, carrying Flora's tiffin box in her hands. They both looked at her."Momma," Flora jumped down from the dressing table and ran towards her mother. She hugged her legs."Momma, is my baby brother awake?" The little girl asked, pointing her tiny finger towards her mother's swollen belly. Aniya chuckled. She bent slightly as it was almost the end of her third trimester of her pregnancy. "Yes, your baby brother is awake and he is very happy that his big sister is going to school," she said, making Flora clap in happiness. The little girl wanted a brother. Smiling, Riccardo walked towards them and then grabbed the tiffin box from Aniya's hold."Cara mia, you should rest now," he uttered, earning a tiny frown from Aniya. "It'
"Will you become Aniya Riccardo Alfanso?"Tears rolled down from her eyes, processing the meaning behind those words of his. Aniya had never even dared to think a moment like this would ever come in her life from the second she had found herself in that brothel. A kind of moment where someone wanted to be hers. A moment where someone would want to share his name with hers because for this entire world, she had become an object which only looked good when getting used by everyone but no one would ever want to get associated with her name, let alone attaching their name with hers but he proved her wrong in each and every possible way. Not just only his own self, he was now willing to share his existence with her.Riccardo saw those tears brimming in her eyes which told him everything which was going inside her. He had started understanding her silence more than he had ever even understood his own words.He palmed her face more firmly and leaned closer to her face."My life had taught me
At the breakfast table, when Riccardo saw Aniya leaving without eating anything, he understood something was not right with her. He had been noticing from the past couple of days that she was acting a little weird. She was barely initiating a conversation with anyone and was even skipping most of her meals. He had also noticed that she was looking tired most of the time, so he told her that they would visit a doctor for her checkup to which she seemed to tense up even more and denied him by saying that she was fine and it was just her monthly cycles. But today when he saw Bellyana following her to the bedroom, he understood something was going on, especially when he witnessed that distressed reaction on Aniya's face. "Ora, you play with them. I will be back. Okay, piccola?" He uttered while cleaning the little girl's mouth after he got done feeding her. Flora nodded at him and stood up on the breakfast table and walked towards her shades uncle. With a smile, Dario collected her in h
"Aniya," Niova's voice broke the bubbles of Aniya's thoughts. She recovered from her shock but her eyes were still focused on the television screen which was showing the news of Ryker's death in that bomb blast."Ani, do you think it's….."Niova paused but Aniya knew what she was trying to ask her. Aniya exhaled a very deep breath."I don't know. I will talk to you later, Niva. Firstly, I need to have a talk with him right now," she uttered because right now, she needed to have a conversation with him regarding this urgently."Okay, bye," Niova hung up the call which made Aniya trail her eyes back the television screen."Reportedly, this bomb blast seems to be pre-planned by one of Ryker Verlice's enemies who wanted him dead as the attacked godown is the belonging of Mr Ryker Verlice and the attacker was aware that Mr Verlice was going to be there that time of the blast," Aniya read the news which automatically started shivering her hands in fear. He took dozens of lives again and this
"I…I love you so much, Riccardo," Finally finding all her answers and comprehending her each and every kind of emotions and feelings towards him, she dared to utter those words to him because Aniya knew the aftermath she would have to face if she would let him walk away from her like this. Once she had terribly regretted, telling him to get out of her life and that night she was almost about to lose him and today, that thing was about to happen again and somehow she could feel that if she didn't stop him this then she would lose him for the rest of her lives and she was not capable of enduring it because she had fallen for him more than she could even understand and make anyone else understand it.She tightened her arms around him more and more."I love you," she softly breathed out while snuggling her face in his back. Her tears continued to wet his coat. Dropping his hand down from grabbing the knob of the door, he slowly turned around. Her heart ached badly, seeing those tears gli
"And he is Flora's biological f…father,"Riccardo became too aghast to understand anything after hearing those words from her mouth. His head turned completely blank whereas his eyes rounded, completely appalled. He couldn't just believe what his ears were hearing. Ryker was Flora's biological father?"Flora's father?" Even his voice was laced with shock and somehow confusion too. It brought more tears to her eyes. She wagged her head at him, holding back her tears from coming out of her eyes."Yes, he is Flora's biological father," she uttered while taking her eyes down. Again his eyes rounded more, hearing that thing from her mouth once again. His hands, on their own, fell down. He also trailed his eyes down towards the floor, trying to gather that information he had just received. Ryker was Flora's father? No, this couldn't happen. He refused to believe it.Snapping his head upward, he gripped her arms tightly and yanked her closer."Don't fuck with my head, Aniya," he glowered at
