Ivanna Pov's . I opened my eyes when I felt a few drops of water on my face and someone tapped on my cheeks. My mysterious man was sitting beside me, looking at me with a worried expression. "Thank god you regained consciousness" He attached me to his chest. I look at him and then my surroundings. We were seated outside the storeroom. He parted away from me and wiped my face with his handkerchief. My eyes went to the broken door of the storeroom. "I panicked when you went unconscious. I broke the door and then arranged the water and sprinkled it on your face To bring you back to sense. Thankfully it worked and you regained consciousness." Tears welled up in my eyes remembering what happened before I went unconscious. "Stefan" I sobbed. "Ivanna.. What happened? why are you crying?" I look at him with teary eyes. "Who was on the call?" He asked when I didn't answer his first question. "Th--They attacked my home. My bo--bodyguard called me" I stuttered. He cupped my face. “Is eve
Ivanna Pov's . I sat beside Stefan with a big smile on my face. I never imagined I would get a chance to sit with him again and everything would be alright between us. He smiled and took my hand into his. "Where is your half-wit?" I chuckled and hit my forehead realising what stupid name I gave to my mysterious man. my eyes went on Stefan who was waiting for my answer. "In my rush to meet you, I left him all alone outside. I thought to introduce you to him but by the time I went outside, he was gone." I mumbled. He took my hand in his hand. "It's okay… You can introduce him to me next time" I chuckled at his words. "What happened?" "I don't know whether I would be able to meet him again or not, it's far for me to introduce you both" he scrunched my eyebrow. "Why will you not meet him again? Did you both fight?" he muttered confusingly. I shook my head. "No... we didn't fight. It's just I don't know him" "You're confusing me, Ivanna" I laughed and started telling him everythin
Ivanna Pov's . My heartbeat rose with the thought of seeing him after a month. All the memories I spent with him started flashing in my mind and a smile appeared on my face. "What happened? Someone is smiling a lot." Stefan teases me. I went near him and sat on his lap. "I think I'm going to meet my mysterious man today," I muttered, encircling my hands around his neck. "Your mysterious man" He raised one eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. "There is no need to get jealous. He is special to me but not more than you. No one can take your place." I pecked on his lips. He smiled and kissed my forehead. "I know... It's just I'm scared." I scrunched my eyebrow. "Scared… Why?" I asked confusingly. "I didn't treat you well in the past. I'm scared that you will leave me for a better person." "You don't need to be scared, Stefan. I left that person who didn't treat me well, but how can I leave the person who changed himself into a better person only for me? You left your dream job to shift to
Ivanna Pov's . "Ahh," I opened my eyes, feeling immense pain at the back of my head. "Shine" My eyes went to Stefan who was sitting beside me looking at me with a worried expression. He helped me to sit and arrange the pillow behind my back. "How are you feeling now?" He asked. "My head… It's hurting" I whimpered and recalled everything that happened in the parking area. "Who brought me here?" I asked, looking at him shockingly. Hoping he didn't see me killing those two men. "I thought I would surprise you by picking you up but when I reached there. I saw you standing beside your car covered in blood" I took a deep breath and held his hand in mine. "Are you okay?" I asked after seeing his devastated condition. "You're injured but asking me how I am?" He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "I got scared when I saw you in that condition" My eyes widened when I saw tears in the corner of his eyes. "Stefan" He quickly wiped off his tears. "Doctor told me it's a minor injury but wil
Ivanna Pov's.After three days, the doctor gave me a discharge. It was a minor injury but they wanted to keep me in observation to make sure everything is alright. Stefan was by my side all the time, taking care of me. In the past three days, I realised giving him another chance was one of my best decisions.I was lying on my bed when Stefan knocked on the door, bringing me out of thoughts. I smiled and sat straight. He sat beside me and kept the tray on the bed. He brought two bowls filled with vegetable soup. I look at him annoyingly."You're still recovering, Shine and the doctor strictly told me to give you healthy food until you're on medications. No tantrums.. please have it" I rolled my eyes and started drinking my soup. I held his hand when he was about to touch another bowl."Why are you eating this tasteless food? You're perfectly fine" I muttered confusingly. He slapped my hand lightly."I'm gaining fat. I thought to ignore oily foods and have this healthy soup with you""D
Ivanna Pov's . I again turned towards my lunatic stranger and looked at him from top to toe, wondering if I misunderstood someone else as my half-wit. He was wearing a three-piece suit, not the black hoodie which increased my confusion. I took my steps back and went near him. He was looking at me with a poker expression. "What happened, Ma'am? Do you need something?" He asked, maintaining the freaking professionalism. "Do you have a twin brother?" "What?" "Do you have a twin brother?" I again asked the same question, ignoring the shocking look he was giving me. "no… I don't have any twin brothers." He muttered confusingly. I crossed my hand around my chest. His eyes moved from my face to my chest. I smirked when his eyes twinkled in the same way as they twinkled before when I crossed my hands around my chest when we met in the parking area. "Acting like a stranger?" He immediately turned his gaze to the other side. "Why are you behaving like this with me, half-wit?" I asked, h
Ivanna Pov's . I was looking at two dead bodies on the ground, covered in blood. I again become a monster. Satan sent two men to kill me. Not only that, that asshole called me to listen to my painful screams. Thankfully my bodyguard, Rocky, came on time and passed me the gun to shoot them. I was lost in my thoughts when a phone rang. I look at Rocky who took out the phone from one of the killer's pockets. He passed me the mobile. Satan was calling them with the same unknown number from which he called me before. I sighed and picked the call up. "You picked up the call. it means you ended up her game" he laughed at his imaginary victory. "Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm still alive" I smirked, imagining his face while revealing the truth. I didn't hear from him for a good minute. Maybe he was thinking about how a single woman again beat him. "You're alive" I chuckled after hearing his voice. I'm sure he must have gotten a 440-volt shock after knowing I killed his goons. "It wi
No One Pov's.Twenty years ago.A girl was sitting on the ground playing with her doll while the boy sitting behind him was trying to braid her hair."Ahh" She whimpered when he accidentally pulled the strand of her hair."I'm sorry… I didn't mean to harm you" She turned her head towards him and smiled."I know you can never harm me" she replied shyly while he smiled in return."How can you be so sure I will never hurt you?" He asked, looking at his little princess. He is only two years older than her and his height is a little more than her because of which he had to bend his neck to peer into her eyes."I just know," She replied and turned back. "Now do my hair""I think you should ask the teacher to do it. She will make a perfect braid without hurting you" The boy requested."No… I want you to do it for me like I do it for my doll" She said stubbornly."Why you're so stubborn, Butterfly" He sighed and started combing her hair with more focus, trying his best not to hurt her.a fiv
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
