As a thief who had stolen a life I had no reason to back off it now. I’m trapped in the confined web of my own sins.
I gave him my best attempt at a smile that clogged my throat and slid out of the car.
This is just a phase. I’ll be over it. I always get over things that can’t be mine.
A shuddering breath left me, as mist gathered in my eyes. I walked with my posture and dignity intact to his private elevator. Luca was a dream Husband material and as I was mortal so it explains why I was tempted.
Luca was a man with basic desires and a fiancé who suddenly appeared with passable appearance seems to be just the kind of girl to get dirty and dine before you dump her. The corner of my lips tugged up mockingly as I entered in the elevator and pressed my floor.
That’s the thing, he’s not the first men to get this idea that I was a plausible lay, most of them lay now six-feet under the ground along with
Svetlana Yulia KozlovskyBefore Yulia could read who the letter was signed by I snatched it from her hand and gave her an apologetic smile."That's for me to know and you to stay curious about." I wasn't going to give them another reason to criticize my character, especially one that would let them brew elaborate tales.Yulia was going to say something when a clearing of throat halted her mid-sentence.Everyone's attention was brought to Vincenzo, Luca’s faithful right-hand who was standing in front of the Department with his hands behind his back. Behind him was Tiziana looking smug like a cat who swallowed canary.It was strange and a first for the employees of this floor. Vincenzo was an important figure as he held the shots in the company and he never appeared in their section before.He gave a cold look to the audience then spoke in a tone as cold as ice and voice as dark as abyss, "It had been brought to the upper manage
Lu... My heart burned and a bitter after-taste prevailed in my mouth. The thing was Luca made me believe he was courting me but then make me see this display of horridness. They were on nickname basis and clung to each other.Something primal like jealousy and possessiveness rose in my heart, How dare he!I saw red. it will certainly be fun getting rid of this leech too and avenge for betrayal to this cheating bastard!I stand there watching them locked in an embrace for minute too long. Either they didn't notice my presence or simply ignored the intrusion, too busy in canoodling each other. I cleared my throat to get the attention of the adulterous pair.They immediately sprung apart with still goofy smiles adorning their faces.I wanted to slap them hard enough to snap the living daylight out of them. At least they should have the shame to appear apologetic! After all his fiancé had caught them getting intimate with
Ivanna can burn in the fiery pit of jealousy she had dug for herself for all I’m concerned. This is what she was all about anyway. After all the privileges she enjoyed as the coveted heiress she was a bitch.I held Luca hand with the fork and brought the steak to my mouth keeping a firm eye-contact with Ivanna, she glared at me, I smirked. She has to get over the fact that someone who isn’t her deserves something good.Bitch.Though it was kind of our eating routine we had developed on the two meals we ate together, everyday.Ivana took in the scene and her grip tightened around the fork and knife, if they weren't silver they would've broken by now.I made sure she had every reason to believe we were lovers, once she’s threatened she will be easier to manipulate. This woman was quite resourceful under her sugar-baby ways. In my escape she can be a key player.I knew Luca have had many women over the years but they
After the tense conversation I convinced him to return back to the office. Once the star crossed lovers were cool we went our own ways in the office.I arrived on my desk and after sitting for a while staring at the blank screen for a while I gave up with a sigh of resignation. I need to clear my head so a visit to the restroom it is.Standing in front of the mirror all I saw was a messy bitch, makeup smeared and tiredness speaking louder than my aura. With a grimace, taking out my compact I started reapplying my makeup.From the corner of my eyes I saw a figure of a woman leaning against the wall but did nothing to humor her except the apparent scowl on my face.I reapplied my mascara, then gloss and even contoured my face again, finally looking somewhat the diva again."That's it, Lana. You look like a rotter-slut already." The woman said without humor.I shrugged putting another coat of gloss, "Well, now that's rich coming from you,
Third-Person POVIn the middle of the night, a woman stood on the dark road surrounded by thick forest on both sides. The growling and hissing of animals could be heard but that didn't faze the woman in black.The woman was wearing latex body hugging attire with motto boot. Her eyes were covered with a black mask and her lips in crimson. Her hairs were in a high pony tail.If you looked closely you could see the cat ears on her head and tail behind her back.She was blended into the night in her ridiculous costume. The whole road was empty without a human in sight. The only give away of civilization was the well constructed road.A fast running car came slaying the calm and creep of the night and stopped in front of the woman.The door of the hot-red Ferrari slid open and the woman stepped inside."You look like an assassin from 70s." Ivana snickered.Svetlana rolled her eyes and gave her a once over look.Ivana
Third-Person POVIf he thought he was sexy or this was hot, he needed an urgent reality check. Svetlana felt disgusted and her guts were ready to spill her dinner.She was bored with the drama and brought her leather-gloved hand on his shoulder to stop him from leaning closer.The man looked at her with his brows frowned in confusion.Svetlana gave him the sweetest of her smiles and lifted the gloved hand from his shoulder then struck right in the pulse knocking him out.The man couldn't even register what happened to him.As the man went limp, Svetlana threw him on the floor then rolled her neck. The act was draining! Letting out a sigh Svetlana got to work. The earlier she was done, she would be allowed to take a nap.She took out a syringe strapped on her thigh and took out a bottle from her cleavage. Filling the bottle Svetlana injected the man on his tattoed shoulder.The place may swell but she couldn't let it be
Third Person POVSvetlana slid in the car after procrastinating all she could the next day. He was sitting in the car looking out of the windshield. The somber mood had followed him, he didn't even bother coming in for breakfast today.She bit her lower lip, she wishef to be anywhere but here.He had an intense look in his eyes. Svetlana didn't want to know what he was thinking or what he will say.The silence was biting.He looked far more dangerous then she had remembered him to be.He grabbed a cigarette from the packet and lit it with the lighter. He smoked still looking out of the windshield glass.His aura was ice cold and the tension was that thick that it could be cut with a knife.In all the time she had known him she had never seen him smoke. She did see the ashtray there on the dashboard but knew he hardly smoked because if he did she would have smelt it on him.Damn that witch!He had been acting estranged and stiff
Third Person POVSvetlana 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
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
