Joeniya RostovRide For You I watch as my daughter took Stefano's hand and pull him from the kitchen. She had feelings for him and by the looks of it, he also cares for my daughter. It was beautiful and sad at the same time, my baby was growing up too fast.My intuition told me something happened between them, something she only shared with her cousins. It hurt that she did not want to talk to me about it. I always put her in a position to know that she can speak to me about anything. Even though I am glad she has Maddie and Harp to talk to, I wish she was comfortable enough to talk to me.I did not fail to notice the tattoo on Stefano's neck and the moment Ace mentioned his last name I put two and two together. It was a bit frustrating that my daughter found herself in a similar position as I did, but Niyler is smart and Stefano seemed as if he did not want anyone to know about that part of his life. I could tell by his reaction when Ace said his surname. I wonder if Niy
Ride For YouNiyler Rostov “What is going on, babes? Did someone die?” Madison asks on the other side of the screen."Not yet." Harper snorts.I can't help but roll my eyes at the dramatics of Harper and Madison. My cousins and I were on FaceTime, which was rare, considering the time difference between Madison and us. Family gatherings or holidays were the only occasions we saw each other.. Harper and I reached out to Madison to discuss what we found out. Initially, I hesitated and preferred face-to-face communication. Harper persuaded me to go for a three-way call. "I'm getting nervous. Can someone please tell me why we are all gathered here on this rare occasion? I mean, I love you babes, but a girl needs her beauty rest.""We—""Niyler's new boyfriend is probably part of a Mafia and we believe our family is also involved," Harper says in one breath, cutting me off before I had the chance to drop the news on our cousin slowly."Jesus, Harper, why did you h
Niyler RostovRide For You “Are you okay? You are usually not so silent. Should I be worried?I take a quick look at Hazeem, who is sitting in the backseat, gazing out the window.. He didn't say anything for fifteen minutes while we were just two minutes from St. John prep school..“Is mom angry with dad?” He spoke sounding sad.Mom and Dad have never been angry with each other before, so it's strange that she left early this morning. Why would she be upset with him? “Why would you think that Hazeem, is there something you are not telling me?” “I went by their room last night to ask Dad if we could spend the weekend together, and I heard Mom yelling at him.” That was strange. I didn't want to concern my brother, so I chose my words carefully as we approached the school. “Maybe you heard wrong, Hazeem. I am positive that Mom isn’t angry with Dad.”“I know what I heard, Niyler.” Hazeem says stressing my name."It was about you. Mom told him that he needed to tell you what was
Stefano SicilianiRide for you As soon as I reach the school entrance, I notice a black BMW waiting. Mr. Rostov was revealed in the back seat as the tilted window rolled down. His eyes, resembling his daughter's beautiful ones, stare at me as if he's pondering his decision.."Get inside." I have an aversion to being ordered around, but I obeyed him nonetheless. Mr. Rostov raised the window and signaled to the man who Niyler gave her car keys to yesterday the moment I closed the door. “What is this about? Is Niyler alright?” I ask when the silence was starting to suffocate me.The man smoothed out the invisible wrinkles on his expensive-looking blue and white suit before turning to face me.“It is your lunch break, isn’t it? We're going to a drive-through for a bite to eat and then have a conversation about your past and future if you want to be a part of my daughter's life. As for Niyler, she had to assist my niece with something important.” So Niyler was alright, that
Niyler RostovRide For You Thankfully the week was over. It had been a long and confusing one. I even had to take time from work just to get my head straight, luckily my uncle is my boss. I had to make up a lie for him not to think too much of it since he knew I loved my job. Today Harper and I are going to the airport, in an hour we will be picking up Madison. I wasn't sure if I was ready for what she had to tell me. After learning that someone was searching for Stefano to have him killed it worried me what other danger was lurking around the corner. It seemed like just yesterday I was a normal teenage girl who trusted her family with her life. Now I wondered how much of what they told us was lies."Why can't you girls just stay here for the weekend?" Dad who decided to stay home and see us off, asks."Because you are here Uncle Ace," Harper replies. Dad who didn't realize that Harper was serious chuckles and ruffles Harper's hair, causing her to narrow her eyes at him in a playful
Ace RostovRide For You "You were right sweetheart and I am working on it. I will try my best to help him."Joeniya closes the distance between us and leans on her toes to peck my lips. "Thank you, honey, God knows that poor boy doesn't deserve to suffer similar faith as we did. We tried our best to prevent that from happening to our kids so I believe we should make it our point of duty to do the same for Stefan."I sighed and took a seat on the bed pulling my wife into my lap. "I should have done something about it from the beginning." After listening to everything Stefan told me, I felt guilty. My brother and I didn't have someone to save us from our father, but that does not mean it should be the same for him. He's been having lunch with me for the last couple of days and I must admit that he is a good kid. He reminds me of myself when I was his age. He acts tough, but he puts up that demeanor to protect himself from getting hurt by others.Joeniya caresses my cheeks. "The most im
Niyler Rostov Ride for you Before Stefano could turn the car off I got out and run around the back of the house where I can see the view of the beach. Eager to feel anything, but stress and confusion at the moment. I close my eyes and breathe in the fresh air as the warm sun kisses my exposed skin. This was what it felt like to be at peace. The sound of the sea and seagulls was just so calming, it was just such a beautiful sight. I felt bliss especially because Stefano is also here and safe. For a moment it made me forget that we were running from men who wanted to take his life. "So this is Mr. Rostov's beach house?" Stefano says, sounding a bit like he was asking a question and also stating what he knows is a fact.I turn to look at him. His dark eyes look down at me as he loosens his school tie. This is my longest time with him since the kiss we shared in my room and I was a bit nervous."It belongs to me. I will be moving here after I graduate." Stefano nods while looking at
Niyler RostovRide For You "Stefano there is something that I want to suggest-" A knock on the door cuts me off. My eyes widen and my heart beats wildly in my chest. I look at Stefano who looked relaxed, while I'm sure panic was written all over my face. He got up from the couch and pull me up. No one knew we were here. Did Lorenzo track us here?Stefano leans down and kisses my forehead. "Relax baby girl, it's not who you think.""Who did you tell about our location, Stefano?" I ask, following him to the door. How did he even know how to give them the precise direction? This is his first time here and this place was hard to find. "You do know that you can't trust anyone, right?"Stefano smiled at me, one that made me want to reach up and kiss him. This was bad timing, I should not be thinking about kissing him at a time like this. "Trust me Bella, you have nothing to worry about."Before I could stop him, he pulled the door open revealing my family. My mouth fell open as Dad marche
