He was trying to make small conversation but Svetlana didn't want to as she was prone to not let anything slip about her past or something she shouldn't blurt.
Lana didn't want to bare her cards before she trust him.
He saved her, but honesty wasn't an obligation here. She did like him but she needed time to see if he could be trusted then she will tell him what she deemed fit, or at least not until she absolutely had and had no other choice.
He was an impatient and dangerous man with means, she wouldn't put it past him to go looking for answers and there was no blame she was shedding, even if she was housing a phantom she would go looking for its myth.
After all, it was the unknown that we are supposed to be wary of at the end of the day… He must be wary of her existence too as he should be but he needed her for her medical peerless skills...
Svetlana mentally rolled her eyes, 'Paranoia of crazy rich mafia lord, they just didn't know which
Her Adopted Father smoked like his bum was on fire and she absolutely abhorred any man who smoked, it brought immediate gag reflexes. Tyler, her cousin, was one of those chain smokers who smoked as much as he inhaled, so she even hated hugging him whatsoever.But kissing or living with a man who smokes was a big NO in her book! So she forbade it!Luca didn't reply just smirked at the little Raven who thought she called the shots.It was okay, he could quit smoking now that she was here; he only smoked to subdue his frustration.He was more interested to see where she will lead it.Svetlana was aware of his compliance and a shiver passed down her spine immediately, he was looking at her as if she was lunch. She gulped and kept her firm posture despite her ringing temple and sweating fist.She looked straight ahead ordered a maid to bring her a notebook and pen. She knew he was staring at her so she deliberately ate slowly and kept her eyes fixed on
Lana hand went to her chest in sheer dismay. Her sheer terror made her turn to Luca in lividness, who was looking at her in a blank stare before he tried to take the tablet from her.But Svetlana turned it away from his view and turned to him with ferocity of a wounded beast."What is the meaning of this? You know he's my cousin, don't you?" Her voice was a whisper, filled all the suppressed hurt and rage, suspended.She wanted to spill blood and her bloodlust was dynamic despite her eased posture. The man took a step backward and the staff became alerted by the charged air.Luca stared at her comprehending the situation, looking for a loop to manipulate it and then turned to the man with feigned anger, in a menacingly voice he demanded, "What is the meaning of this!"She was his wife now, by whatever means so was he going to humiliate her like this?It was rhetorical and his easy expression was daring the man to stay something against his r
The dose was mild so it was expected for him to wake up in such a time as it would wear off.Shocked, both of them took her in. He was wearing a hoodie with boyfriend jeans unlike what he would usually dress like. His burnt umber hairs were peeking out from his hoodie. His wrist and ankles were tied with adhesive tapes.It must be his camouflage to invade Andres Cauldron people. He was a very perspective man and often did things out of his Boss's radar. Andres didn't know Tyler was something similar to a double agent with only one difference that the second party was Tyler himself.If it suited Tyler's interest, he could sale more than his conscience.Luca hadn't seen Tylor too many times before except when he was tailing behind his cousin as his secretary. His resemblance to Ivana was uncanny to the point they could be mistaken for each other if they cross dressed.Luca wondered why he never noticed before but it could be because he
"Discussion, my foot!" Tyler sarcastically muttered, "As if there was anything left to discover anyway!"Luca took a turn and then couldn't be seen around anymore. Tyler rushed to stand to stand and craned his neck to see Luca had gone then turned to Svetlana with a snap."So Lana, what the fuckk? " Tylor asked with a deadbeat expression.Svetlana bit her lower lip and stared at the ground, "I need your help—""No, no. Keep me out of this! I came here because I had lost my sanity when I thought you were...dead."Her eyes snapped up at him, they looked intense. Though she had an idea but knowing and hearing something like that was disturbing."When you were dead, I thought everything thing was forgivable and that no matter what you do I would forgive you but this is too much!" His whole demeanor changing 180 degrees at once, she wanted to know what he meant.Tyler squinted his eyes, Ivana had been in the city for almo
Svetlana and Ivana were always in a pickle for one reason or another. Right now the pickle seemed to be Luca."You know, Ivana loves him but you are playing with him and her. I fail to understand why do you persist to bring misery to everyone?!" He scoffed, shaking his head.Svetlana stood as her throat clogged up and eyes stung. He had outright that she was better dead.It hurts. He was someone she considered family. But she was but a nuisance to everyone."You can leave. I've had enough bullshit for a day." She spoke with a resolve that she herself didn't recognize her voice.Tyler head snapped to her, realizing a little too late what he implied, "Lana, all I do is lookout for you. You, me and Ivana, all we have is each other."He grabbed her shoulders and affirmed with nod. She nodded in reply and looked away.At most she knew he had no malice toward her but he wasn't wrong when he claimed to treat them equally.
In the barely lit study, the voices of Svetlana and Tyler echoed through the speakers, muffled to the peak, barely audible, incomprehensible voices.Luca had been sorting all the work he had been pending for the last four months; her being back changed things, now his life had a purpose. He couldn't get any work done when a piece of his heart was away from him so the next couple of days were bound to be busy.He half-smirked at wife on the screen. Wife... He couldn't wait for his first night with her as a married couple. He had to sort somethings before they could have a happy Married life.He couldn't hear what was being heatedly discussed because the sharp witted woman had placed their chairs far away from the camera but it was obvious the Tyler fancy-skunk was filling her ears with ear-wax while his wife was getting upset.He will have to do something with this Tyler, the brother. He could tip his Boss, Andres, off his real identity but his wife won't
Lana took a brief bath to clean the sweat and scent of wariness from her skin and then changed into a knee-length turquoise nightgown and wore a robe over it. It was quite suggestive, in fact, all of her nightgowns were but she didn't mind. They were sheer but silky soft.It was already half an hour past dinner and there was hardly a need to first change into painstakingly formal clothes and then waste energy on coming and changing to an attire for the night.She rolled her eyes at the thought of his staff. There was no doubt that his staff was going to think of her as a slut who was seducing their Master in a nightgown when it was clearly the other way around. She hardly bloody cared because she valued her comfort more than people who can be old stories if she was to plot against them.She would have lashed out at him before for being a pervert but for a matter of fact, she knew that he wasn't the one who chose clothes for her. Her husband didn't chose this for
Lana eyes snapped from his deep v line to his eyes at his husky, deep summoning voice.She was caught openly staring at him, more like ogling him but he didn't point it but his projected smirk showed he was pleased by her line of sight. She could swear his chest swelled with pride.She was well aware of his eyes on her body as she walked toward him in confident strides despite the light ache in her ankle and placed her injured leg on the bed beside him, the robe fell from her thigh flashing him her red lace g-string she was wearing below her gown that was hardly reaching her knee.Her face reddened with her brazen act but she held her shyness. She had really married a man far better than she will ever deserve and she had no intention of letting go.It didn't matter what method she used. Luca smirk fell encouraging her further and his eyes transfixed on her toned long legs, heatedly on her thigh.Now she was all smug to have flipped the
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
