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."You broke the relationship we had, Christian. You broke me." She complained and parted away from Rocky to look at me."Rocky” she turned her head towards him. “tell him to get out of here and never show me his face again if he didn't want to lose his life." “Butterfly” "Go away before I lose control over myself" She shouted and turned her head in another direction.. She wasn't crying anymore. I hurt her so much that her tears got dry but her pain didn't end. I broke her and the worst thing is I lost her again. I turned my body to the other side and a tear rolled from my eyes which I had been trying to control ever since I saw her in pain."I hate you, Christian" She yelled when I took my steps to go away. I didn't stop from leaving the place as I didn't want to break down in front of her. I can't hear her venomous words and see hatred in her eyes for me anymore. Her words break my heart into a thousand pieces. After making sure I distanced myself enough from her, I
Christian Pov's . I went to the bar to drink as only alcohol can make me forget another horrible moment of my life. First I lost her by forcing her to go away from me and accept her adopted parents and now I lost her to save her from knowing the truth about her birth parents. "I lost her" I broke the glass in my hand, making the people around me grasp. The bartender came and gave me a sympathetic look before asking about my address. Even a stranger sympathises with my broken heart but the writer of my love story... She chose to ignore all my pain and make me lose her. I didn't reply and kept drinking until darkness consumed me. "Christian... Christian" I groaned in half-sleep when someone shook my body. I opened my eyes and found Aaron looking at me with concern. This asshole never leaves me alone. Aaron's father was the best friend of my adopted father. Because of their connection, I got Aaron who never left my side like his father never left my father's side until death parted th
Ivanna Pov's.(Few hours ago).I was lying on my bed, crying at my love life where I always get an asshole as a lover. My eyes swelled because of continuous crying."Why? Why did you do this Christian? I was already in love with you. There was no need to play shitty games. I wish you didn't kidnap Stefan and confess your love directly to me. Why did you break my trust, Christian? why?" I screamed and sobbed, hiding my face in my pillow."You broke me" I stammer and then move my head slightly to look at the display picture of my phone. I put my and Christian's picture on display. The whole night I cried remembering the time I spent with Christian."I hate you because I love you Christian" I muttered, moving my finger on the screen after zooming in on his picture."Ivanna" I heard Rocky calling me from outside the room. This is the tenth time he came to my room door and knocked after calling my name. He is worried for me but I'm not in a state to meet anyone."Ivanna.. please open the
Ivanna Pov's.I took a deep breath and removed my goggles to meet my eyes with his pain-filled eyes. He was waiting for me to break the silence."Can I ask you something?" I asked, trying my best not to break down in front of him."You can ask me anything," He said with a painful smile on his face. Don't know why I'm feeling like he is in the same pain as I am. Despite what he did to me, I'm standing in front of him, like a fool to know the answer to the question which was bothering me for more than hours."Did you ever love me?" His eyes widened with my question."Whatever happened between us, was it real or was it all a pretence just to win my heart because of some stupid selfish reason? Did you love me or my money?" I kept asking him one question after another until he kept his finger on my lips."Ask this question to your heart. it will answer whether my love for you was real or not" He said. I removed his finger from my lips and pushed him away as yesterday's incident flashed in
Christian Pov's.I was sitting inside my room, looking at Ivanna's picture which I kept in my wallet. It's been a month since I saw and talked to her. Last time she asked me a question which broke my heart. She asked me whether I loved her or not. Only if she knew I loved her since I didn't even know the meaning of love. She is my reason to breathe.It's not that I'm complaining that she doubted my love because I was the one who gave her all the reasons to be mad at me and doubt my love.I was lost in seeing her photo when my phone rang showing Aana's name on display. A smile appeared on my face. In the past month, she has become my good friend. Aaron was taking care of Ivanna and in return I'm taking care of his girlfriend because of this we both became each other's girlfriend's good friend.Aana informed me regarding his app launch party and she wants my help in arranging a party for it. I'm sure Ivanna will also attend the party as she was a 50% partner in this project. The thought
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
