The cold and forceful blow of shower water was falling on those two naked bodies which were standing underneath it. Her back was firmly pressed against the glass wall of the shower room whereas his huge sinewy body was towering over her entirely. His mouth was sucking on her soft lips like he was hungry for them for ages. One of his hands went to cup her waist while the other one grabbed the back of her neck. Aniya could not do anything but just to stand there, enduring his vicious ministration on her body until she felt him halting. He stopped kissing her when he noticed she had not kissed him back. Pulling back, he looked into her sea-green hues which were glistening with tears. The water droplets fell on their bare bodies, wetting their already dampened skin more.Aniya witnessed him peering into her eyes silently. For a brief moment, she thought he would stop himself after watching her not reciprocating his actions. Slanting closer to her face, he murmured against her mouth."I
After getting out of that room, Aniya reached that penthouse's hall but she couldn't find him there. She roamed her eyes everywhere and wondered ... .How much fortune someone might have invested in making a place so grand and affluent like this? This place was looking perfect and opulent from each and every corner but again that question rang in her head. Where did his wife live? And was this place not his home?When Aniya couldn't find him in that hall, she decided to check in other rooms because it was already getting very late and she wanted to return back to her home to her daughter.That penthouse was huge in size but it had only two rooms or that was what she had found out till now. Aniya decided to look for him in that other room. Slowly pushing the door open, she stepped inside that room and noticed, this room was feeling silent and calm just like the rest of the place. It had the same interior design and furniture as the other room but she couldn't find him here either. Tak
"Good morning to you too, Ms. Meier," Aniya scoffed at his taunting way of wishing her whereas that evil grin playing on his face didn't lessen her annoyance even a bit. Instead it turned her more irritated. How did she wish to wipe that smirk off his face with a thorny bush, so that he would never even dare to think about smirking at anyone again "Done making plans in your head to kill me, Ms. Meier?" His voice snapped her back into reality but his words widened her eyes. Was she thinking that loud? How could he get to know what she was thinking? He simpered at her startled reaction and then took a couple of steps towards her direction. Aniya's gaze intentionally took a brief glance of his entire frame which was covered in a dark black formal suit. She was sure he was heading to his work and it brought her some kind of relief that she would get to remain away from himβ¦at least for a while. "I expected you to be a morning person,"he uttered while glancing at his wrist watch and st
Dario halted his car in front of Aniya's house. She immediately opened the door of his car and stepped outside. Closing the door behind her, she practically ran towards her home. From the open window of his car, Dario silently witnessed everything. Aniya pressed the doorbell and her friend, Niova, opened the door. She was holding whimpering Flora in her embrace. Niova's eyes widened by watching Aniya in front of her finally whereas Aniya's heart clenched, witnessing her daughter's state. She immediately took Flora in her arms. "Mommaβ¦" the little girl wailed while wrapping her arms around her mother's neck. "Where were you, momma? I missed you," Aniya's gaze blurred with tears, at her child's words. She pulled back her face from her neck and wiped her watery eyes gently."Momma is sorry, baby," she pecked Flora's forehead. The little girl again hugged her mother and then buried her face in her mother's neck. Holding her in her embrace, Aniya looked at Niova. "Are you alright?" N
'The girl named, Aniya Meier, was seen leaving Mr Riccardo Alfanso's private penthouse this morning after she spent her entire last night with him all alone thereβ¦.' 'There are rumours that no one was present inside Mr Alfanso's penthouse, except both of them and she was totally alone with him the entire nightβ¦..' Those dark brown eyes read those words flashing on the news, along with Aniya's and his picture in his penthouse and the video clips of Aniya's leaving his penthouse this morning. His jaw was set whereas his fists were clenched. His gaze was silently peering at the screen where the news was getting flashed over and over again about him and her. The sound of his phone ringing made him tear his eyes away from the screen. He picked up the call. "Speakβ¦" he uttered, still gazing at the news."Boss, we have caught that man who has leaked those pics and video clips of you and her," Dario informed him from the other side of the call. His demeanour darkened more at Dario's words
"And with whom?" Valery asked him which made him clench his palms in order to hold his calm demeanour. He didn't reply to her and then turned around. Once again he started undoing the buttons of his shirt.Getting completely ignored by him, Valery's jaw tensed up. "Why were you ignoring my calls, Riccardo?" She questioned him again but instead of answering her, he went to his cupboard. He started taking out his clothes when he found Valery following him. She stood beside, turning him more irritated."I am talking to you, Riccardo. Where were you last night and with whom?" Her voice came out as an angry acquisition which made him finally look at her. His dusky brown eyes peered into her grey orbs. "Is there any point in wasting both of our time by asking these things to me when you already know the answers?" He spat at her, enraged. Valery gave him a stunned look.He again twirled around and started continuing his work."What's wrong with you, Riccardo? It's all over the news. Our fa
After his so-called conversation with his wife, Riccardo left his mansion and went straight to his penthouse because his mansion was just a facade in the name of his home. He didn't consider it as his home. Besides, he used to spend most of his time in his penthouse, rather than his mansion where he went only when it was necessary. Stepping inside his room in his penthouse, he removed his coat and then his shirt from his body and threw them on the sofa one by one. Grabbing an empty glass and a bottle of wine, he sat on the sofa. This entire day had been hectic for him. From seeing those videos clips and images in the media to his conversation with Valery ... .all of this had irritated him to his extent. His mood was still a mess. Pouring himself wine in his glass, he chugged down the entire content of the glass in one gulp. His throat burnt but it did nothing to rectify his messed up mood. He was feeling extremely annoyed and irked. Growling, he made another drink from himself and g
"Tonight, I will inflict pain in each and every vein in your fucking body, Aniya Meier," his hot breathing fanned against her mouth. Aniya's blood boiled in pure rage. She started aggressively struggling in his hold. "Leave me. Don't you dare to touch me," she yelled at him while more tears threatened to fall from her eyes. His bloodshed gaze darkened more after hearing her words."You have no right to touch me," she spat at him which made him grip her jaw more painfully. Her lips rounded whereas she felt like he was about to break her jaw the way he was holding it. "I have those rights over you which even you don't have on your own self, Aniya," he gritted at her, peering deep into her oceanic eyes which were shimmering with tears. For a moment, Aniya felt a pit of terror building up inside her stomach by witnessing that sadistic insaneness in his atrocious gaze for her."I am your sole possessor, cara mia," he reminded her while pulling her face closer to his. Their breathings ta
"So, handsome gentlemenβ¦..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
"Papaβ¦.." 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 meβ¦." 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 meβ¦. don't kill me, pleaseβ¦" 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. "Yeahβ¦.yeahβ¦.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. "Heyβ¦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'sβ¦.."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
"Iβ¦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 fβ¦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
