Third Person POV
Svetlana sat on the Breakfast Table while everybody in the Astor family was stealing glances at her. It was making her cringe with everything that was going on.
She was fucked. She had fucked her whole life. Sometimes she wondered why did Luca bothered not urging her to open up about her deceit at gun point. The Astor family is why.
She bit her lower in regret. Their daughter might be rotting away in an unamed grace. She shook her head at the thought. Sandra could very well be living it to the fullest.
It's been almost a week since Luca's lost control in the car.
Svetlana didn't go to his office to have lunch or drove in his car. She ate in the lunchroom or her driver brought her take-outs from exquisite hotels and restaurants.
The corner of her lip turned up, money did make statements.
When the Astor's asked about the change she simply said they were giving each other space but even a blind could see the spilled milk
Third Person POVSvetlana scoffed "Such an overrated move! Who would be?"Luca came closer to her till they were only a breath away. She could feel his breath on her face.He was close, although he wasn't touching her, she felt sparks rush her body."Tell me little liar, how many of your 'admirers' can vacate an area as such, to listen to you utter bullsh*t like that?"His voice was soft as if he was cooing a lover but to Svetlana's ear it was like venom.Svetlana narrowed her eyes at him, he always ridiculed her like this in useless banter for his amusement.Luca held out a strand of her hair that was hovering on her cheeks and slid it behind her ear brushing his fingers tenderly on her cheeks.Svetlana narrowed her eyes at him. The man must be playing at something or is bi-polar!One moment he goes all Tarzan on her and the other he is caressing her like some devoted lover.Pushing his chest a little which did n
Third Person POVThet sat in the car with a loud silence, sadly a makeout session didn't blur reality for them."When are you going to be real for once?"After Ivana left the smoothness of their moment left with her. Svetlana bitter smile dwindled."Aren't you tired of this charade?!"They were still looking out of the windshield mirror; they didn't want to see anything they couldn't unseen.Luca exhaled a deep breath and sneered, "This is all because you want to keep things..."The pain that was coming from her heart made Svetlana grit her teeth. She could feel the blood rush out of her.Apparently, she wasn't that smart herself but she couldn't blame herself. It was already hard being on the edge allthe time.At least he had no proof."Luca, just drop it! Don't you get tired of this same fight we have every time?!" She hissed.Luca scoffed at her, "Yes, and that's because you don't want to res
Third Person POVSvetlana frantically held his arm, "I want to go home, Luca ple-please. I don't want to go there. Please, don't take me there."There were unshed tears that were brimming in her already swollen eyes and her voice was trembling and breaking.Even in this devastating condition, she looked ravishing. Her wild aura was covered with a heavy coating of delicacy and innocence.She looked breakable.Luca saw her reaction and let out a heavy sigh.Svetlana was never that expressive, always headstrong, and stubborn. A woman who pretended to fear nothing that is breathing.But he understood why her emotions were in overdrive right now. The medicine had taken its effect, he could see it.He didn't want to trick her like this but he had to if he wanted her breathing.He turned to her and gave her what she needed the most. A hug.He held her head to her chest and clawed his body for any remanat of comfort.Then when he pulled
Third Person POVWas this his way of throwing her to the wolves because she rejected him?!Svetlana passed him a fleeting glare and walked out following Juana.Luca watched her till she could no longer be seen then turned to his Grandfather who looked like he would rather chew his meat than the Mongolian Beef on his plateA smirk appeared on his Grandfather's ever expressionless face, "A seductress, isn't she? A body of siren and that mouth of a temptress... Such a ravishing little thing she is."He was referring to Svetlana, Luca gave a subtle smile when he wanted to put the bullet in the Old Bastard's head."Yes, my 'fiance' is beautiful." Luca put force in the word 'fiance' to subtly refrain him from going forward.Just when the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake.The smirk on Donnovan's face widened. Men like them didn't give compliments like beautiful or pretty, that's what lovers did.They didn't praise
Third Person POVIn fact, she was waiting for the young woman to start wailing any minute now which should be expected.But listening to her taunt Qianci whole face turned beet red from the fury churning in her.Nobody had ever said that on her face! Her husband's infidelity was world-famous scandal but nobody ever voices a thing about it."I love my husband! He was the father of my dead son! Who the hell are you, insolent lass—"Before Qianci could go on Svetlana cut her off, "Same reason. I love him too and if I can have a piece of his heart, I don't mind sharing him."Svetlana cringed inwardly at her own words. It was some words she caught on a sappy drama.Infuriated, by the direct insult, Old Madam Gianni stood up from her seat...It wasn't like Svetlana didn't respect aged people of the society; it was just that she had a limit of things she sacrificed and right now she had a fuzzled up brain.And her self-esteem wasn't in the
Third Person POVWhat was about these girls that Juana remembered them hearing of love? If he had nothing to hide, then he wouldn't have a reaction as strong as this!The mistrust was as clear as the sky was today. He wanted to curse or flip the table, but he couldn't give his Grandfather another thing to blackmail him about.Yes, he did have a lot of flings and f*cks but that was just to subtly cancel the engagement. But it was before.He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw. His cold aura at once turned the room to Antarctica.Qianci turned to Svetlana with a slight smile as if she couldn't comprehend the sudden dropping temperature."Sandra, it is?" Qianci asked in a mocking tone.Neither Luca nor Svetlana replied to her. Of course, she did know the name, but it was her way of making Svetlana feel insignificant.Svetlana was feeling light-headed and cold. But she smiled at the senile lady anyway.Luca raised an eyeb
Third Person POVAs Svetlana fell unconscious, Luca ran to Svetlana and caught her by the waist, breaking her fall.Qianci and Juana stood up in shock. In dismay, they reached forward to inspect the girl but one look from Luca had them halting.He brought his hand on her face and patted her cheeks. He fiercely shook her but to no avail, she didn't budge.He opened her eyes to see them half rolled back, dilated. He picked her Bridal style and laid her in his lap as he sat on the sofa. He had a crazed look in his eyes."Baby, Get up! Damn it!" He was practically shouting.He looked around frantically, picked a glass of water from the table, and sprinkled some on her.He was feeling his heart beating abnormally. He was for the first time scared. He had given her a custom-made drug. It was well experimented but...But could it be because of the drug's side effect, right? He didn't know what he will do in that case.Any
Third Person POVThe room was themed in Grey and Azure, definitely a man's room and inspecting the size of the room and the things, a wealthy man.She looked down at her clothes, and her eyes widened in horror. She was in an oversized black tee and she wasn't wearing the same set of lingerie she was wearing last time.She at once checked her body to see if she had been taken advantage of. She sighed in relief when she found nothing.At once thinking about last day brought back memories, Luca's tantrum, Ivana dramatics, the fight, the Giannini Ancestral Mansion, and the... PREGNANCY!She was about to get out of the comforter and run for her life when the door opened to reveal Luca only wearing sweat pants and holding a tray of breakfast for two people.Luca glanced at her with a smirk, "I see, the sleeping beauty has finally decided to wake up."Svetlana stared at him and licked her lower lip. Luca's body was shining with sweat, looking Oh-so-
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
