Kiara:

“Nikolay, you don’t have to do this” I said taking a step back not wanting to go down the stairs. I knew that Nikolay was furious with everyone. Yes, I was hurt, a lot. But him going against his mother for me was not something that I could accept.

Nikolay didn’t stop, he brought my hand closer to his lips and softly kissed my knuckles before pulling me to walk down with him. I didn’t want to face Mia, I couldn’t blame her for what happened, though I actually knew that me losing the baby was partly due to her fault. She had reminded me of a past that I tried so hard to forget, and what killed me was that she dared lay a hand on me when I knew that she never did it to her own kids.

“Kiara?” Vladimir said standing up from the couch when he saw me. The man saw me as a sister to him. I was sure that me losing the baby affected him as much as it affected Nikolay, and Maddie being by my side through it made it a lo

    Richard: “Have you two lost your minds?” Grace snapped, her and Sebastian entering the office. “Hello to you too Grace, how are you?” Claudia asked raising an eyebrow at her big sister who turned to glare at her. “You appeared in front of Nikolay and Kiara in their new club!” Grace snapped “the games weren’t supposed to begin for another few months” “Louis’s orders Grace. He’s aware that the podium is ready, he even put in a few millions just to make sure that the games start in the next few weeks” I said looking at Grace who ran her fingers through her hair in frustration. “We are supposed to protect Kiara and Nikolay, Richard, we are throwing them in the face of danger!” Grace said looking me in the eye, her blue eyes met my green ones and I could see worry and exhaustion in her eyes. “I am trying Grace. But Louis is not stupid, he knows that I’m stalling, he took matters into his own hands and is doing everything in his power to sta

    Kiara:“Nikolay!” I whined at my teasing husband who has been driving for the past hour refusing to tell me where we were going. He kept smiling at me whenever I asked, giving me the same answer over and over again, or kissing my cheek, hands, or just taking my hand in his and simply squeezing it.“Yes, baby girl?” Nikolay asked already knowing what I was going to ask. Yet, he was determined to tease me. He was not opening his mouth to tell me anything. Taking my hand in his, again, and kissing my knuckle making me smile and shake my head.“Why won’t you tell me where we are going Nikolay?” I asked. I was still tired after everything that happened, and it wasn’t me being physically tired. No, that wasn’t the issue, my body was far stronger than that. I was trained to be able to take pain, the physical pain I went through as I grew up was more than a girl should take, but it toughened my body. I was just emoti

    Nikolay:“Nikolay, can you help me with my dress?” Kiara said making me smile. I was fixing my shirt as she was fiddling with the zipper of her flaming red dress.She walked toward me and turned around waiting for me to zip her dress for her which I did happily, making sure to let my finger touch her back as I did making her shudder. She smiled at the mirror looking at me and I smiled at her softly kissing her bare shoulder. Kiara put her hand on my neck pulling me closer to her and I smiled.“You know, we can always skip going and stay here, go down to the restaurant, have a nice dinner, dance a little, drink maybe, I miss hearing drunk you whine about telling me your deepest secrets while I tried to kiss you” I teased and Kiara laughed turning around in my arms and wrapping her own around my neck. I smiled and leaned down to kiss her, my forehead resting against her own for a second after we pulled away before I feather kissed her nose.

    Kiara: I sat down beside my husband. His arm wrapped around my waist as Timur, Nikita, Vladimir, Uncle Dimitri, Mia, Uncle Ivan, Keram, Daphne, and Grace sat with us on the couches as we talked. “Are you okay baby girl?” Nikolay asked me softly. I had been quiet since after the encounter with Mia, even she knew that I wasn’t talking anymore. I was here for a reason, I wasn’t here to fight and if her and I spoke. It would end up with us getting into an argument. I smiled at Nikolay and kissed his jawline, but even he knew that I did that to tell him to drop the subject. Mum and dad were here, we had greeted them and thankfully neither of them saw the bullet wound which was starting to hurt me as the painkiller’s effect was starting to wear off. I got up from Nikolay’s arms and he frowned in confusion, but putting a hand on my shoulder letting him know that I needed to go to try and kill the pain before it got unbearable. Nikolay nodded and smiled at me

    Nikolay:I kissed Kiara’s forehead and she laid her head on my chest hugging me tightly.The news that she heard was heavy for her despite her staying composed in front of Richard. I knew that what he told her killed her, the fact that her father put her and everyone who was in the games in danger. The man watched people die in front of him, his own daughter almost died in those games and he watched her with a cold heart.“He… Nikolay, I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I hope Richard is lying about what he said” Kiara said in my arms. I kissed the crown of her head and took a deep breath, Kiara’s hand fisted my shirt and I tightened my arms around her. I wanted to say that Richard was lying, but if I knew Grace. I knew that my sister would not be associating in such matters if they weren’t real. Richard was telling the truth and it hurt me that my wife was going through this much pain. It was like getting bulle

    Kiara:“You three have been working together since when?” Nikolay asked his sister with wide eyes. Richard, Grace, and Claudia were at the Ritz in my and Nikolay’s suite.Flashback:Nikolay and I entered the suite. Taking off my scarf, I put it on bed and took off the dress putting on grey sweat pants and Nikolay’s long sleeved black shirt “I see someone’s taken over my clothes”“I didn’t think that you’d mind, you know, judging the fact that Richard is coming in a bit. I assumed that your possessive-self would like it this way” I said looking at Nikolay from the mirror of the dresser as I took off my earrings. Nikolay smiled and walked toward me, wrapping his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder. He kissed my cheek and watched as I took off my bracelets putting them in their box, all while he made sure to keep holding me to him.&ldquo

    Nikolay:“And how exactly do you plan on us starting the fire, even if we do say that it is a little electrician issue. There are cameras everywhere, we can’t just go and light up the place” Richard said looking at Kiara with a raised eyebrow.“We won’t be doing anything, I’m guessing almost everything is somewhat robotic, you used the highest tech technology in the previous games” Kiara said and Richard nodded. I looked at the two of them and couldn’t help but feel a clench in my chest, okay, I knew that the man saw her as a friend. The idea of him being in love with her was somewhat off my mind, but that didn’t mean that I liked the fact that he knew her more than I did. The two had a past, I knew and understood that, but…Yeah, I was being a possessive, jealous husband, I needed to admit that. I can’t help it though, and I won’t do anything to stop that. She is mine, and she’ll alw

    Kiara:I held on the blanket. My back to Nikolay as I laid on bed, pretending to be asleep.Nikolay raised himself and put his hand on my bare arm. I was wearing a crop top and pajama shorts. He ran his finger on it softly before leaning down and kissing my shoulder “I know that you’re awake princess”I didn’t answer, my mind racing with what I heard Claudia say. My father wed me to a man wanting to ruin both my and his life, he really wanted me to betray the man I married despite threatening me to kill mother if I did anything that would ruin the peace treaty between the Brook and the Ivanov family. Mum’s life was on the line, but he expected me to go mad and try and betray my husband, negotiate with him against Nikolay. Then there was Grace who initially wanted to kill me. Claudia who was spying on me. What the hell was I living?“Baby girl” Nikolay said trying to turn me around, but I tensed not wanting to face

    “Is this some kind of joke?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion, waking up in the familiar podium where she once grew up watching people die in front of her as she herself fought for her own life. “I don’t know, but I don’t like this” Richard said from beside Kiara. The two were trying to process how they even got here to begin with. People around them started coming to their senses as they woke up inside the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Bloodlust Games, The final chapter” ************************* Re-entering the Bloodlust games was never an option in Kiara’s life.

    “I do” Grace said looking Richard in the eye. Tears fell from her mother’s eyes as she watched her daughter say those two words.“I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride”Richard cupped Grace’s cheeks and connected their lips. Kissing her tenderly as if it was their first kiss. Everyone clapped for the happy couple, both Nikolay and Kiara looked at one another. Holding each other’s hands, their fingers intertwined. Nikolay brought Kiara’s hand to his lips and kissing her knuckle. His hand went to her stomach, where their little daughter grew.“Congratulations” Sebastian smiled at Nikolay who nodded at him. His hand holding Amalia’s, Lilian had been invited to come to the wedding but the woman chose to stay back and come when her grandchild was born. Her and Sebastian have agreed that she is freed however she would be under surveillance. His men were watching over her, the woman ha

    Nikolay: “Baby girl?” “Yes, love?” Kiara asked turning to face me. The girl had been quiet since leaving her mother’s house and even though I didn’t want to bother her with talking about the subject. I couldn’t help but worry about her. “What happened inside there? Did she say anything that…?” “Nothing love, she didn’t say anything that I didn’t expect. The woman simply wanted to vent and I’m guessing that being put in the corner made her lose herself” Kiara answered looking out the window. The two of us have been driving for the past hour, I was initially supposed to take us back home. But seeing the state that my wife was in, I didn’t want her going home being upset. “When are we going back home? I mean to the States?” Kiara asked and I smiled at her taking her hand in mine and kissing her knuckle. “Believe me, even I miss it back there. No matter what the bullshit was, it was us and our family, none of the fucked up mess we’ve been

    Kiara:I looked at the room which I’ve only entered a few times as I grew up.Father was once determined to let me learn and know every single code that existed in this place. I was the only one who knew of them. He wouldn’t even tell anything to mum about them, I didn’t understand why, but now I believe that I may know the reason behind his request.The woman has probably been cheating on him all along and the man might have known about it. He had his own affairs, however, their marriage was kept intact for the peace treaty between his and her family. Plus, the fact that he had a child, a daughter, well, me. He didn’t want me to find out about anything, knowing that it would probably end up turning messy if anyone finds out that he was being cheated on, and he as a man wouldn’t have accepted knowing that his wife was cheating on him. Well, that was the only logical explanation I could think of in such a situation.I remember

    Nikolay:“Boss…” Vladimir said when he saw me walk down the stairs. It was a bit of a rough night with Kiara being in the pain that she was in. I couldn’t blame her for any of it, and I couldn’t stop her from letting out her pain. I wanted her to let it go, I didn’t want her to hold it in. I wanted her letting her pain out. To tell me how she was feeling, I didn’t want her breaking inside. Especially not when I could see right through her beautiful green eyes “Lilian woke up, Sebastian just called to inform us”I nodded at him and sighed running my fingers through my hair in frustration, as much as I didn’t want Kiara speaking to the woman. I knew that she wouldn’t be able to rest until she has, and because of that. I couldn’t stop her from seeing the woman.“How is she?” Vladimir asked sensing my anger and I sighed shaking my head.“She isn’t well, Vladimir.

    Kiara:I sat by my mum’s bed after her surgery was done and the bullet that she got in her abdomen was taken out.Her hands were cuffed to the bed as she slept. I kept my eyes on her as I waited for her to wake up. I knew that she wouldn’t wake up anytime soon. The woman had been asleep for a while now. But I ordered that she was given something to keep her asleep for a while, I needed to process what happened first before she opened her eyes to speak to me. The woman would be seeing me as an enemy now, and I wouldn’t be able to blame her, in her eyes. I killed her husband, technically, I did take part in killing her. Even if it was a little bit.“Baby girl, you need to rest” Nikolay said walking inside the room. He kissed the crown of my head and I smiled at him leaning in to his touch, his hand softly massaged my shoulder and I raised my head to look at him “I don’t want you getting sick princess, your mom is supposed

    Nikolay:“Nikolay, are you sure it’s a good idea to bring Kiara with us? You know that I don’t want her going through such pain” Sebastian asked looking at me. The man kept his voice low for his sister not to hear him even though she wasn’t close to earshot. The girl was talking to Maddie who was also coming with us. Everyone was technically coming, both to see Sebastian take his rightful place and to support Kiara in what is to come.My wife was to face her mother. The woman who had hid her brother from her throughout all those years, and if what Natalie said was true. Then that woman also cheated on her husband and Harry is a bastard child. All those thoughts ran through my mind as I looked at my wife suddenly fearing her coming with me. In all honesty, I truly didn’t want her coming with me. But I knew that she had to. First, as my wife, and second, as the man’s sister.“Believe me, I don’t want her to com

    Kiara:“So, do you want to tell me how you became Crystal’s favorite uncle?” I asked and Nikolay chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist while I laid on my stomach on his chest. The two of us were still in the living room laying on the couch after our active afternoon. A light blanket covering our bodies. The blanket was one that we used when we were watching movies in the living room back home. And having come out of the hospital, and being here for a week. Nikolay refused to let me do anything that would exhaust me. Therefore, my best solution was movies and cuddles.I had noticed Crystal’s behavior around Nikolay at the hospital, she would tell him random stories and the two would spend ours talking while we were in the suite. According to Richard, Crystal would tell Nikolay stories to distract him from his pain while I was out conscious.“Well, one thing lead to another and she caught me crying in one of the hospital hal
