Her smile slipped only to be replaced by a snarl, "Cordially, my ass!"
She bowed her arms on her chest and glared at him accusingly for trying to reel her in her own tricks, "All you are going to do is, take me to some secluded place and hang me up-side down to be thrown in a well! I am not an idiot nor delusional to imagine a five star hotel waiting for me after…doing what I did!"
"Smart, aren't you?" His smirk deepened with darker hue to it, "So Smarty pants, answer me. Do you think I need your permission to take you anywhere?"
More than a rhetorical question, it was a taunt. For a moment Svetlana face bleached to be devoid of color before a darkening color took over her facial.
She leaned forward as if going to tell him a secret and her voice dropped some chords in a cryptic way, "Do you know who I am?" She garnished her words with a smirk equally malice in fervor.
Luca smirk didn't falter instead he leaned forwards and took a hold of her
Her Adopted Father was a mad man but a relatively Medical Prodigy and extremely rich; he used to buy livestock from the Kuznetsov's Patriarch to experiment, to play and for his amusement. She was one of them too but he had taken her as an apprentice instead and taught her his skills along with all the academic subjects.That time all Master saw was a blank canvas in the innocent child and he could paint it however he liked so he molded the little girl to be a natural fluid killing machine. She was, like everything in his life, an experiment subject to him. An experiment subject that he couldn't control anymore…He had even arranged for her several other teachers for Martial Arts, Etiquettes, Dancing, Playing Piano and many other skills to make her into a temptress, a cunning temptress that was as cunning as a fox and as venomous as a snake and then he named many of his properties and shares in her name to mock her by putting a prerequisite for their ownership.
Svetlana swung the stick in the air, Leo flinched but she let it pass slightly missing Leo's head. She couldn't help but sneer.How he was a mighty man just minutes ago? The filthy human nature; when they are in a position of power they get drunk and tipsy on the illusion that they were god!Svetlana eyes hardened as she remembered him playing god in her life for the past four months and almost killed her. The torment she endured mentally and physically just because of his greed.She turned sharply to The assistant who was on the floor trying to submerge in the concrete, "You!" She pointed, and the girl was like a deer caught in headlight.Her breathing along with her ugly sobs hitched."Pack my stuff: everything, the journals, books, snacks, herbs, everything!" Svetlana smirked in a menacing way and patted her thigh, "Miss a thing and I will claw your good eye out."The assistant had an exasperated expression like someone had told her death
"Pretty."Svetlana eyed the pretty blemishless face and nodded in approval. She let her hand fall and indicated the assistant to move back but before she could take a step ahead Svetlana raised her left hand at once to backhand her hard that she shrieked and fell to the floor.It was the retaliation of the slap she had bestowed on her. A tooth for a tooth but Svetlana was merciful, she wasn't evening the surfaces.Svetlana couched to her level and patted her stinging cheek and smirked "Find yourself another d*ck, this one won't be functional anymore."With that Svetlana kicked her hard on the ribs and walked to Luca nonchalantly with her sharp gaze assessing his features.She was curious, was he disgusted, astonished, repulsed? Nobody's thought mattered to her; her life was too short to be judged never the less she was curious.But his face gave nothing away. It was just satisfaction and…pride?Svetlana walked to him and held him by the arm,
"Don't kill him." Svetlana's voice penetrated the tense still air between them.Luca snapped his head to her and sharply questioned, "Who?"He knew who she was talking about but he needed to confirm that she knew before promising anything or accusing.Svetlana turned her face to him and rolled her eyes, "My cousin."For a moment he just stared at her. He was going to kill him anyway; a murder attempt is as same as an actual murder that is warranted with a death sentence.He pursed his lips as the air thickened between them and Luca's face visibly darkened in rage; Svetlana felt the charged tension electrocute her but stood her firm ground."That’s nothing for you to worry about."She glared at him for a while in an intense game of eye to eye before she decided to bent for her douche bag cousin's life, "I will talk reason, he is useful. He’s the son of Igor, his mother is influential in the kuznestov’s syndicate. Thou
She blinked the tears away and shook her head, "From now on, please. I don't want to talk about it."Luca nodded. Right, they wouldn't talk about this because he will deal with it. Reasoning with her when it came to her more-than-dysfunctional family was a lost cause, anyway.For him, it was better if he just did everything on his own without involving her in this matter and especially without saying a word against her 'family' in anger.So he smiled at her…She tried to slide her hand away when Luca held her hand on his heart and brought another to her cheeks, "My Raven, I wouldn't let anything happen to you. You live with me and will die of old age when you are wrinkly and haggard."Svetlana broke out into a smile and nodded, though his words didn't matter to her. He was a King but a King wasn't God and if God had it for her then there was nothing a King could do.Luca hugged her to his chest and Svetlana let him. Unconsciously, she
Luca laid her on the bed with care and tenderness as if she was made of glass. He stared at the woman who had been the sole source of his relief and distress since he laid his eyes on her on an eventful evening.He frowned in deep thought, it was like everything before her was crumbled to dust behind her. It was like he didn't know a living before her.She wasn't an innocent girl he was taking to bed after nuptial vows, she was a woman. Mature, cunning, clever beyond her years, her eyes shimmered with experience of life in her veins and her features, they told you tales.She was venomous and he knew she was the cure too. There were many who desired her and her posture and stature told you she was aware of her allure but she was his. And she will be his willingly.The ache in his heart and seeping fear weighed tons, a fear he had for her. The little temptress may become the death of him. His mind was chaotically erratic but he knew he had to do it now, either she
Svetlana finger scratched the wedding dress lace on her lap as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror.A thousand thoughts burned in her head, it was skeptical and she wanted to postponed this. Anxiety churned her insides, he wasn’t giving her time to think, he hadn’t even bothered showing since he morning. Her minor limp was still evident so she thought she had some time before their conventional wedding.All I all she had a lot to gain from this. She bit her lower lip aggressively, Luca could hardly gain anything from this but the situation was ideal for her.She had nothing in her name ayt the moment and he could grant safety and a permanent solution to this Kuznestov hierarchy.Once she becomes his wife, the kuznestov’s will more reasons to eliminate her but it won’t be a cake walk then.She needed this but beside the double health insurance; Luca hardly gained much from it. This meant there was something that she had
She sat on the chaise as all king of scenarios crossed her mind. It was a possibility this marriage of convenience was a two-edge sword but he needed to be careful around him.Right now while she was an almost cripple, this could be the best resort.The slid open, snapping her head at the sound, only to see Luca entering the door. He had disappeared after the wedding and it was obvious by the theme of the room she was shifted in that it was his. She tried wobble away but he held her by the waist and restricted her sluggish movements any further.She kept her head bowed down, he caressed her nape sending shivers down her spine. His hand travelled up and massaged her scalp.She tried to pull away from him, “Luca, you…”His other cupped her cheek side and raised her head to him. He hummed as he intensely stared at her as if remembering her features, "How I have longed for you."Svetlana winced, kept her eyes fixated at
Lana stilled all movements, even breathing, in fear she will reveal herself further. The man held the head of the chair but her sore body and hazy mind was too tired to comprehend a counter attack. She was leaped backward and er arms flail trying to take a hold of him, "Ahh!" The chair couldn't take the loss of momentum and she went rattling against the wall, blissfully though he movement stopped there . "Miserable bitch! Why don't you fucking die already?" A man lit cigarette while sneering in Russian. Her head was splitting with a headache and beside the numbness she could feel the stinging in several of her wounds. "Help me get out of here. I'll spare your life." Her confrontation was straight, she had no pretty words left to serve. The man stilled but a leering smirk too over his features. He leaped forward grabbing her hair with a savage grip. "I don't want to fucking when you have left nothing for me live by. I want you to fucking suffer like my sister did when you kille
When her eyes opened again she felt the ground shook under her. Lana shook her head o clear it but nothing helped her case, even when her her vision cleared the ground shook. She felt light headed and then she saw he vision blur once again and the view changed. Under the serene Gazebo in the spring wind a youth sat by the lake with his pen running fast solving something with astounding accuracy and speed; His pen not pausing even for once. On his desk was a timer that was ticking with five minutes and 28 seconds remaining.She floated around the boy like a ghost, everything was out of her understanding.On one side he had a young woman who looked like a maid or nanny and on the other side a man who was most probably his examiner or teacher. He was intently staring at his work like he was to end the test the instant if one step was missed or written wrong.Behind him sat a man observing him with keen ardor not missing even a single movement. He sipped his tea leisurely seeing the boy
He cut her off with a snort, "Drop the toy or I grill you beyond recognition right here." The gun wasn't going to rescue her, there was unfortunately no way around it. She was one against a dozen, even if she won, which was a high chance she won't, they would grill her with their shots She weighed er options before sliding the gun back in the car, "It's it worth. Killing me will hardly achieve anything—"His eyes were now flashing and he exhaled, "Shut up, you whore! The constant urge to feel your dirty warm blood rush through my hands has been killing me since you murdered Igor. But that Italian bastard makes you tolerable. So you are not dying right now..." It was easy to see where this was going. He planned to use her to lure out Luca. Her head snapped to Ivana who looked ather assured strangely. She gulped and exhaled, "He is not that fond of me—"Something it her in the head and she lost consciousness before she could complete her sentence.
"Sure, do so." Ivana did a loud whistle and familiar faces merged from the green heavy bushes. As the men exited with their arsenals, Lana face changed colors till she was pale with fear and awareness. At last the man that with a cane, stroking his beard with a smirk on his face emerged like a last nail in cofin. She staggered several steps backwards with as her mind registered the situation. Her Grandfather, the Head of the Kuznetsov's, was here in front of her. Her accusing tare fell on Ivanna as panic took reigns of her body. Ivana rolled her eyes at her direction of sight. It may be obvious but it was no less of a shock for her because she had always had tendencies to believe people ad limits they abide by but Ivanna, in her hate, have given her a death sentence. "Svetlana! How long has it been?" "Why are you here? " She hardly stopped her hesitation from showing. Skeptically, his face morphed into a scowl when he saw her horrified expression. Lana had always been go
Ivana waved around her gunin warning, "Now stop the drama and get out already!"After contemplating Lana got out of the car and before Ivana could she fished the gun from under the car seat then with a quick swipe of her leg Ivana gun went flying and she had her at gun point."Take the corpse and leave." Lana asserted.Ivana in return rolled her eyes and raised her hands almost mockingly. Lana stepped away from the car. But she wasn't hasty or desperate. Eventually, she would see how this plays out but blind shots weren't something Ivana did so this et up was suspicious. Telling her what Ivana want for now was like promising people because you have ulcer today, you will have ulcer till death do us apart! Ridiculous!Lana eyes wavered wildly, it didn't make sense for Ivana to be an airhead. The road was isolated except for them, both sides were covered n thick forestation. This could very well for revenge but she looked too calm with how this was playing out."Why are you doing this?"
"Hello, Cousin.""Ivana." Her lips moved and her eyes blinded in disbelief as Ivana stood here pointing the gun at her Her mind directly went to Luca ho wouldn't even know this was happening and who may never see her again. She remembered his touch... it was soothing, the softness in his gaze was something that she longed.Her eyes fell on the driver whose blood was gushing out from his corpse, "You killed an innocent man-"Ivana rolled her eyes with a cold glare, "He was an assassin tasked to kill you but he's late." It made sense, he was suspicious it apparently familiar."And FYI, it's not your first murder encounter." It wasn't. She was 16 when she first killed a man and until him, it all amount to nothing. She assumed she was frigid, or cold-blooded. The only time she had ever had fear or guilt was experiencing but nothing did it for her.P.S. as you already know I'm sick so please do with it. Regular updates soon.
The car was driving insanely fast. She hadn't even this driver before but these days she hardly paid attention to anything. You could say she was assured to the point where she didn't other.She was coming back room a meeting with Mia at a Golf Club when she slept unintentionally because of the long day. When she woke a second ago, she checked to see the driver to be a new eraon with a familiar face.Thinking nothing of it, she fished out her phone call Luca or send him her location when she couldn't find it in her clutch, where he remembered keeping it.Her breath hitched as her eyes took a look at the empty road with no living being on sight. The thumping in her heart blinded er from the surrounding.Like any child that came with a disturbing childhood, she had her demons and hated being touched, stared at or traded. She had a rough idea of what was happening. When people abducted her she could feel them penetrating her fortress of safety she had built and when they stared at her s
"Luca, I think about this often, but I would ather not say it out of embarrassment. I wonder why would you forgive me especially when wasn't even sorry." Her question as a bare whisper.Luca had been more than just a patron or benefactor. She was more useful in chains but volatile when left to the winds, and everyone who had heard of her reputation knew that. She was a wild bird, if he was wise he would have kept her locked in. But on her lowest, he had lifted her off her death bed while vultures rounded her pending corpse.And gave her respect without even shoving it in her face once. He smirked running his fingers through her hair, "I'm a man with no resolve. I'm weak when it comes to you. It wouldn't even matter if you didn't reciprocated it, you were mine the time you got out the car in front of my office."Where she had been it was a matter of times before her captors would have found a loophole in the agreement and used force to extract secrets. He pulled her close and she di
