Thank you Avni and Stk Tani for your precious review and gems. Thank you everyone for reading:)
Ivanna Pov's.I can see the guilt in Christian's eyes and feel how sorry he is for his behaviour. He hurt me with his words but at the same time he realised what wrong he did and was trying to make up for it and this nature of him again won my heart."Butterfly" I kept my finger on his lips before he would apologise to me again. I wanted to tell him why I forgave Stefan and clear everything between us. I tapped on the bed, asking him to sit beside me which he did without saying anything. I sighed and kept my left hand on his right hand."I forgive him because I didn't want to burn myself in hatred. It's hard to forgive someone but it's easy in comparison to hate the person for what he did to us. I wasted my three years hating Stefan but I didn't get an ounce of peace but when I forgave him, I got relief from the heat of revenge. I learned the lesson from past mistakes. I never let him treat me wrong after that but one thing I didn't get. How my kindness is seeing foolishness? Did I do
Christian Pov's.I woke up early in the morning to reach near my butterfly before she woke up as I promised her. I was standing outside her house at six in the morning, trying to figure out how to enter her house. A big smile appeared on my lips when my eyes went to Rocky who was talking with a guard outside of Ivanna's mansion. I went near him."Hii," I muttered awkwardly. He looked at me amusingly and then checked the time on his watch."You came to meet Ivanna ma'am at this time?" He asked. I noticed how he called Ivanna ‘ma'am’ at work time. I nod my head, moving my left hand in my hair."Love made us do crazy things" He muttered under his breath and then laughed."Come with me" I passed him a tight-lipped smile and followed him silently inside the mansion."Don't" I stopped Rocky when he was about to knock on Ivanna's room."Huh?" He looked at me confusingly."I came early because I couldn't hold my excitement to meet her but I don't want to disturb her sleep." He chuckled at my
Christian Pov's . I was trying to find an excuse when suddenly Ivanna started laughing. I took a relief breath realising she was pulling my leg. "Look at your face" She laughed, parting away from me. "The way I asked the question you went into doubt about how do you know I stuttered after getting nervous." She giggled and sat on the bed. I forced a smile on my lips, not knowing what I should say to her in response. "I might have told you before that's why you know or else how would you know it…. idiot" She answered her question herself. "Yeah," I forced a laugh and nodded my head. "Okay… You should get ready. We have to visit your doctor... I want to know how you're doing from her" She smiled and nodded her head. "Shane" She gave voice to one of her maids and then asked him to show me the way to the hall to sit till she got ready. . Since the Doctor asked her to come with an empty stomach to have some tests, we didn't have breakfast and directly went to the hospital where her
Ivanna Pov's . I look at my blood-covered face in the mirror of the washroom. a tear rolled from my eyes. I hate to see myself like this. I hate to kill someone. "You pushed me into the dark world, Kane" I groaned frustratingly and washed my face. I was ignoring those two men along with the threatening letters till now because I didn't want to live this life. I want someone to kill me until my destiny again crosses my path with Christian. I was okay being watched but then the thought of those men informing their leader about Christian scared me. What if they tried to harm Christian to hurt me or threaten me? I shook my head negatively. The thought of something happening to Christian was enough for my heart to miss a beat. I didn't realise when I started loving him so much. Yes, I love him... I love him insanely and can do anything for him. Even if it means to kill someone to protect him. I will not let anyone harm him. I message Rocky to arrange security for Christian who can prot
Ivanna Pov's . "Christian" I called his name, trying to figure out how to tell him my life is not as luxurious as it looks. "I can understand… You're not ready for any commitment" He mumbled, looking outside the window. "It's nothing like that… I just don't want my enemies to find out about you" He turned his head towards me, looking at me with a frown on his forehead. "My life is not as simple as it looks. I have enemies and I don't want them to find out about you. Not until I figure out how to get out of this mess" I muttered, looking into space. I looked at him when he held his hand over mine. "I understand and I'm ready to wait. Take as much time as you want" I smiled at the way he understood me. "Thank you," I muttered. "For?" "For everything… I acknowledge everything you do for me. From waking up early to come to my house to understanding and supporting me. I'm still wondering how I became so lucky to have you" I said all the words through my heart. He smiled and signall
Ivanna Pov's."I believe in becoming best friends before becoming life partners" his words brought a smile to my face. I turned my face in another direction because of shyness. He said life partners instead of boyfriend and girlfriend. It shows he is looking for a lifetime commitment. My smile vanished remembering how I used to think the same about Stefan and he broke my trust."What happened?" He asked, noticing the change in my mood. I turned my face towards him then clutched his shirt in my fist keeping my hand on his chest."Are you sure about me?" I asked. He scrunched his eyebrow in confusion."Of course I'm or else why would I be here standing with you on the road in the empty street." His words brought a smile to my face. I nod my head and then look into his eyes which are filled with compassion and love."You won't break my trust. Right?" I asked, trying to hide the pain behind my smile. The pain that Stefan gave me."I won't" He replied, keeping his hand over mine while enc
Christian Pov's.I was looking at Ivanna with a big smile on my face when she was trying to form words to confess her love. Yes, I know she loves me more than anyone could do. She doesn't do anything special but makes everything special with her love. The last four days were magical. We spend time together getting to know each other and I realise nothing has changed. She is the same Ivanna who only knows to love by giving her everything.In the last four days the way she cared for me, no one did. Not even my adopted parents or Jasmine. She makes me feel like a king who rules over her heart. Some people would say my love of twenty years is higher than her love of four days but I don't believe it. The way she made me feel special, even though I failed to do it in the same way. She didn't miss a second to express her love without words. It's not that she is pretending to care. It's all-natural. I was waiting for the moment when she would confess her love so that I could tell her what I
Christian Pov's."You what?" Ivanna asked shockingly. Before we could continue the conversation, Stefan's body almost fell to the ground. Rocky held him from the other side."We need to take him to the hospital," Rocky grunted. I can see how frustrated he is with everyone for hurting his sister and as for Ivanna, she was confused. I sighed and went near John to open his tied hands. He was looking at me with a shocked expression."Boss" He was about to ask me why I lied but I indicated to him not to say a word."Go home and start training yourself better to fight." I shook my head. He looked at me for a few seconds before nodding his head. I turned when John left after taking a taxi, only to find Ivanna standing behind me looking at me shockingly. Rocky and Stefan were missing. It didn't take me long to understand that Rocky took Stefan to the hospital whilst Ivanna decided to stay to speak to me."You lied to save him, right?" She asked. I tightened my lips, trying to figure out what
Christian Pov's . After a month . I was sitting on a couch, laughing looking at Ivanna's picture which she sent me a minute ago holding my black card. When I told her I purchased her company share, I thought she would be mad at me as she loves to do things equally but she surprised me with her reaction. She was jumping like a kid who won a lottery and then she started sharing her plans of how she will spend my money without thinking. I laughed at the way she teased me by sending pictures holding my black guard. I opened another picture she sent me with a caption. "What is yours is mine including your soul, body and love.. you're only mine" Her message brought a big smile to my lips. I love the way she tags me as her and claims me. Things got hilarious when she started scaring girls who put their eyes on me lecherously. Once when one of the readers claimed she loved me, she started kissing me in front of her, telling her I belonged to her only. It's not that she is toxic... it's
Ivanna Pov's .I refused to give my blood and was looking at everyone, giving me a judgemental glare except Christian. He was looking worried for me. He came to me and held my hand in his hand."What happened? Are you okay?" He asked. Before I could answer him, Satan forcefully made me turn towards him."I will see how you will not give your blood." He snarled and started forcing me to go with the nurse to give my blood. Thankfully, Christian came in mid and pushed him away from me."Dare you to touch her again." Christian yelled and lent a punch on Satan's face. Before Christian could teach him another lesson, a security guard came and took Satan away. I sighed and sat on the chair feeling exhausted. "Argh" I groaned as my head started spinning because of low blood pressure. Christian kneels in front of me."What happened? Are you not feeling well?" He asked anxiously."My blood pressure is not normal nor have I taken my medicines for the past few days," I replied."Ohh.. Now I get
No One Pov's . (Flashback Years Ago) . A little boy, Gabriel, was looking at a couple who came to adopt Christian but didn't even glance at him. At first he used to be excited to meet a new couple, in the hope that they would adopt him, but with time, when no one chose him, he started feeling unwanted and hating himself. Every time whenever Christian and Gabriel stood together in a row, the couple selected Christian over Gabriel because of his nature despite Christian's refusal to go with them. Nobody notices the little child going into depression and darkness, not even the teachers of the NGO. No one noticed he needed care, as he hardly showed up with the group. He sat alone in the corner, lost all his hope in life. His schedule was fixed, woke up, did some chores, ate and slept. It's not that he never tried to get together with kids, but all kids his age were adopted by different couples except for Christian and Ivanna who were lost in their world. The other kids are too small
Ivanna Pov's . Christian rushed towards me and made me sit... He checked me from top to toe while I was looking at him, trying to understand what happened. "I'm fine," I muttered. We both were looking at each other bewildered and then we heard a terrifying scream of Alex. "Alice" I turned my head and found Alice standing at my place. Her hands were covering her stomach, covered in blood. It didn't take me long to understand that she took the bullet on herself to save me. Satan rushed towards Alice to hold her before she fell to the ground. "Alice" Christian and I stood up from the ground and rushed towards her. Tears streamed from Satan's eyes seeing Alice in pain. "Why did you take the bullet? I'm sorry." Satan asked. Tears welled up in my eyes seeing Alice like this. She again saved my life. I turned my head towards Alex who was looking at his love of life, widening his eyes. I rushed towards him when he lost his balance and fell on the ground and took Alice's daughter, Jennif
Alice's words left me speechless. I just wanted to scare Satan, doesn't mean any harm to her."Baby, what are you saying?" Satan muttered in shock and raised his hand to touch Alice, but she shoved his hand away."Don't… You lost every right to touch me." She snarled. Satan was looking at her dumbstruck."Baby""You didn't even think for once before destroying someone's life… You're a monster." She yelled, breaking into tears. My eyes welled up seeing her like this. She made the biggest mistake of her life by loving a monster."No baby.. Don't say you hate me. I know you're angry because I lied to you about leaving the mafia world, but please believe me, I was about to do it after our daughter's birth.”“Again a lie” She scoffed and shook her head in disappointment.“No… I'm not lying… When I came to know you're pregnant. I decided to leave the mafia world, but then this girl… she challenged me. To show her, she did wrong by messing up with me. I did all this.”“You did all this becau
Ivanna Pov's . I was standing near the window, looking outside, thinking about everything that happened in my life. That's when I received a message from Alex. "I told Alice everything about Gabriel/Satan and she is ready to meet him." I sighed reading his text. "I'm bringing her with me. It will take us fifteen minutes to reach there." I read another text message he sent me. "Okay," I replied and went to the room where Satan was our hostage and Christian was keeping an eye on him. For two days, he tortured Satan mercilessly and gave him a tour of hell. He made sure that each torture he inflicted on Satan, was a thousand times more torture than Satan inflicted on me. After beating him to death, he applied ointment and bandage on his injury to prevent blood loss. Christian and I, both don't want him to die soon, not before Alice meets him. I knocked on the door before entering inside. Satan was bound to a chair while Christian was seated in front of him. I'm sure, he beat Satan a
Alex Pov's.I look at Alice, widening my eyes, who went unconscious. It was hard for me to handle both Jennifer and Alice together. Somehow I managed. First I made Jennifer sleep and comfortably lay her on the seat of my car then I went back to Alice where she was lying unconscious. I tried to wake her up, but she didn't respond.I picked Alice in my arms and made her lie down in the back seat of my car. I carefully hold Jennifer in my arms and then book a cab. Since I can't drive while holding a baby.I took Alice to the doctor, who told me she went unconscious because of the shock. She also told me that Alice might show symptoms of PTSD after waking up. It broke my heart that she had to go through so much. I wish I hadn't revealed the truth to her, but then she would have come to know from another way. Truth never hides. After talking to the doctor, I took Alice and Jennifer to my house. I made Jennifer lie on the bed and then looked at Alice who was sitting on the couch like a lif
Alice Pov's."Happy birthday," He muttered."Why did you call me here?" I asked and wiped my tears, trying my best to control my emotions."Cupcake" I moved back when Alex took a step to hug me and showed him my hand."I'm someone's wife," I uttered the word with every ounce of courage."you're not… That man is a monster... He lied""Alex" I interrupted him and looked into his eyes. "I won't hear a single word against my husband." His expression turned into pain as I hurt him with my words. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to see love for someone else in my eyes, but Satan won my heart and I can't do anything about it. Moreover, he is my husband now and no one can replace him."You love him." He muttered and shook his head."Come with me" he held my hand and started dragging me towards his car."Alex.. Leave my hand. Where are you taking me?" I asked, trying to release my hand from his grip while making sure to hold Jennifer tightly in my arms, afraid I would accidentally drop her."St
Alice (Satan's Wife) Pov's.I was looking at my princess, Jennifer, who was sleeping after making me stay up the whole night. I yawned and hoped to get out of bed and take a bath before she woke up. Otherwise, she won't even let me pee peacefully.Satan always helps me to handle his spoiled princess but yesterday he had to go outside to meet his friend, Kane and then I received his message that he would return after two days. I took out my clothes from the wardrobe and went to the washroom to take a shower.Don't know why I was feeling like something was not okay... I'm happy with him and I have an adorable daughter who is a sign of our love. Everything is perfect in life but I still miss Alex. His thoughts always made my eyes teary and today, on my birthday, I'm missing him terribly. I remember how he used to plan something special to surprise me. We were so happy together and planned a good future. He even decided the name for our daughter: Jennifer."I used the same name for my pri
