Ivanna Pov's
.
I was staring at my smoking hot and handsome stranger. The smirk on his lips was making him more desirable. Yesterday, I didn't notice much of his features and now when I'm doing it, it takes my breath away. He looks like a mafia king of novels: hot, handsome and desirable. The beard and the black hoodie suit him. I bit my lower lip when my eyes went on his lips which made me forget the world yesterday.
"Done checking me out" I came to sense upon hearing him. All my confidence vapour into thin air and my cheeks burn out, realising he caught me red-handed.
"I wasn't ch---checking you ou--out" I cursed myself for stuttering. Whenever I got nervous or afraid, I started stuttering. I hate this habit of mine but it's not in my control.
"You don't need to be nervous. You haven't done any crime" I turned my head in another direction, not wanting to look at his smile which always increased my strange feelings for him. The feelings that will drive me crazy.
"You burned the whole box" I looked at him, only to find him looking at the burning box.
“Yeah.. someone sent me a chopped finger of my brother's loyal bodyguard as a return gift. I was burning that only” I muttered and scanned his face to see his reaction but he was blank as if it didn't bother him.
“Return gift?” He repeated my words.
“Someone killed the person who slapped me yesterday and his boss thought it was my brother so he killed his loyal bodyguard” He nodded his head.
“He deserves to be dead,” he said. I look at his hand. it wasn't shivering like last night instead he tightened his fist in anger.
“Did you kill him?” I asked.
“What do you think?” He asked with a smirk.
“It's not about what I think. It's about who are you and do you have the capability to kill someone”
“You are a smart woman. You can find the answers to your questions on your own. You're capable of it” He replied with a grin.
“I wish I could smack your handsome face to wipe off this smirk”
“Did you just call me handsome?” He teased me. “No… I called you a lunatic stranger” I scoffed, fuming in anger. He always tests every last drop of my patience.
“Lunatic stranger… Nice and unique nickname. Thank you” He muttered and smiled. I tightened my lips not to smile at his flirtatious smile. His smile is something which always soothes me. I look at that burning box again. It has almost turned into ashes. Maybe Satan knew I would burn it. That's why he sent it in a disposable box.
“Someone attacked my car yesterday. I killed six men in front of your eyes. You caught me while burning a box. I told you how dangerous my life is but still, you're not scared. Not even a bit. Before I thought you were innocent but I was wrong. You're not a common man”
“Do you know even a nerd and weak man never wants to show how scared he is from inside to his women?” He asked.
“So you're pretending to be strong in front of my eyes but scared from inside” I concluded with his answer.
“Are you my woman in front of whom I will pretend to be strong?” I opened my mouth to say something but not a word came out of my mouth. He always made me speechless with his questions. I shook my head when he started laughing.
“You're overthinking… I live the life of a common man despite being powerful” He muttered. Before I could question him, he kept his finger on my lips.
“Don't get too involved in my life, butterfly otherwise it will become difficult for you to get away from me” His words were enough to increase my heartbeat and his finger made me feel butterflies in my stomach like I felt for the first time when Stefan touched me. I removed his finger from my lips, as all the haunted memories of my past started revolving in my head.
“What happened?” He asked. I shook my head in response and then looked at him.
“It's a waste of time talking to you” I frowned.
“Then don't do it”
“You” I pointed my finger at him. He held it with his finger.
“Me?” I looked at his finger which was holding my finger so perfectly as if he was promising me to stay with me forever. He is right. I overthink a lot. I released my finger from his grip and crossed him to go back to my cabin but stopped in mid when something struck my mind. It's the parking area of my office. No one is allowed here except me and my employees. What is he doing here?
I went back to him and tapped on his shoulder. He turned towards me and looked at me with a mesmerising smile. I shook my head to remind myself not to fall for his smile and smartness.
"Are you following me?" I asked. He chuckled and leaned towards my face.
"No… I wasn't following you but came here to check on you." His words and closeness make my heart beat faster.
"Check on me?"
"Last night you were upset and then some people attacked you. I was worried for you"
"Why?" I asked, not removing my eyes from his beautiful eyes. We both were looking into each other's eyes as if we wanted to see into each other's soul through it.
"It's better not to know the answers to some questions" He replied with a mild smile and parted away from me. I took a deep breath before nodding my head. I already started missing the closeness and his hot breath which was driving me crazy a while before. I turned my whole body and started taking deep breaths to calm my racing heart.
"What happened, butterfly? you seem to be disturbed" He asked.
"It's all happening because of you" I growled. He came in front of me.
"Because of me?" He asked, pointing his finger towards himself.
"Yes… You're disturbing my soul and heart by increasing a strange feeling for you. In just two meetings if you can make me feel like this then I can't imagine what will happen if we keep continuing to meet like this. You're a threat to my heart." I thought but didn't say a word to him. He snapped his fingers to bring me into the world.
"How I disturbed you?" He asked.
"I'm not obliged to answer you" I sneered and crossed my hands around my chest. He moved his eyes from my face to my chest.
"Fuck" he cursed, I followed his gaze to find it on my treasure. I straightened my hand and glared at him angrily.
"Pervert" I turned to go but he held my hand.
"I'm sorry… I didn't want to make you uncomfortable. It's just that my eyes accidentally landed on your boobs and it looked so plumpy and perfect, making me hard and curse words escaped from my mouth." I look at him, widening my eyes, not expecting him to blabber out his dirty thoughts bluntly.
"I didn't know you're debauchee along with half-wit" I snarled, realising my hand from his grip.
"I gave you a beautiful nickname, butterfly and in return what you called me debauchee" He muttered and pulled me closer to him, holding my waist. I looked at his hand on my waist and then him. He was a few inches away from me.
"Men become debauchees when it comes to their women. They forget all the limits and want to cherish every part of the women they love and I'm one of those men," he said, looking into my eyes. His words were enough to increase my heartbeat to ten times. He lovingly removed the strands of hair which are coming on my face and locked them behind my ear. He was staring at me and the way he was doing it was driving me insane. I kept my hand on his chest and pushed him away.
"I told you to stay away from me. This closeness... You.. Your words are driving me crazy." I muttered and kept my hand on my chest to feel my heartbeat which was beating at a higher speed. It felt like my heart would burst out.
Thank you for reading:) Sorry for not updating yesterday. I wrote the chapter but i didn't feel like to update it and wanted to present in more beautiful way that's why I didn't updated. I will update another chapter at night. Finger cross..
Ivanna Pov's . "Butterfly" He called me, finding me lost. He was making me feel alive by raising all the feelings which I buried long ago. "Don't call me butterfly" I snapped. "Why? Do my words and actions affect you?" He asked. "Affect? I'm feeling like you control my heart and tell him to increase his speed with your words and action" I thought and removed my hand from my chest before he would have noticed. "You didn't answer me? Does my presence affect you?" I shook my head negatively. "Your facial expressions don't match with your answer, butterfly," He said teasingly. "Shut up" He kept his finger on his lips. "Why does he need to act cute now?" I cursed looking at him. He was making me fall for him with every action. Why? Why is he affecting me this much? It's not good. I can't let this stupid feeling called 'LOVE' destroy my life. I can't... "Stay away" I mumbled the same words to him that I said to him yesterday. "If your happiness comes from me being away then I wil
Ivanna Pov's.I was looking at my handsome stranger whose eyes were roaming all over my face as if he was trying to note every detail of my face. His smile while staring at me made me blush. My eyes widened when he went inside the water holding me, making me gasp for air. I encircled my hand around his neck and then breathed heavily when we came back to the surface."Relax" He muttered and rubbed my back. I closed my eyes, breathing heavily."You freaking idiot," I screamed to which he laughed. I hit on his chest, understanding he did it intentionally. “Ouch” I chuckled at the way he pretended to be hurt. I look around and then only to find him fuming in anger. He was glaring at a man who was roaming his eyes over my whole body, undressing me with his lecherous eyes. I engulfed myself in his arms, trying to hide my front. Realising my clothes are attached to my body like a second skin after getting wet."Vacant this area with your workers in a minute if you don't want to lose your j
Ivanna Pov's . I decided to give another chance to live and feel something for my lunatic stranger. I was lost in my thoughts. That's when I heard a knock on a door. "Who?" I asked closing the shower. "It's me" "My lunatic stranger" I chuckled and opened the door and took my head to peek outside. “What happened?" he asked, after finding me smiling ear to ear. "You happen," I thought but didn't say a word. He passed me a poly bag. "I found this dress at a nearby store. I hope you like it." He mumbled. "I'm sure, I'm going to love it" I replied, taking the polly bag from his hand. After changing I look at myself in the mirror. He brought me a beautiful yellow dress. A smile appeared on my face as unknowingly he brought my favourite colour dress and it fit me so well. I was right when I said I would love it. "Your choice is good, half-wit" I said looking at the mirror and then went outside to show him the dress but to my surprise he was not in the room. "Half-wit" I called him
Ivanna Pov's."Shine… I'm sorry" Stefan called me with a nickname he gave me which was enough to wet my eyes but I controlled my tears."I'm sorry for disrespecting your efforts… I'm sorry for hurting you but please don't go.. Please" Only I knew how I forced myself to keep walking ahead ignoring his apology.The moment I closed the door of my house, tears rolled from my eyes. I looked up in the sky, asking God what game he was playing with me."Ma'am" I wiped my tears quickly when one of the staff members approached me."What would you like to have for breakfast?" She asked with a polite smile. I shook my head negatively."I won't be able to eat anything when I know someone is standing outside with an empty stomach waiting for me" I muttered and went towards my room. I sat on the bed after entering my room, wondering what was going on in my life.The moment I thought to love someone else, destiny threw me back to my ex. What is happening and what is the end of this battle of feelings
Ivanna Pov's . I was working on my laptop regarding a project that's when my assistant knocked on the door. "Say Sia" I muttered without looking at her. "There was a project proposal from Aa international limited" I looked at her with an amused look. "One of the top ten companies wanted to do a project with us.. Interesting" I muttered and took the file to read while she started telling me about the company. Aa international limited wanted us to work on a project which will provide a free therapy session to the people who deal with depression and anxiety. "Tell them we are ready to invest in this project and the partnership with them. Also arranged a meeting with the owner of Aa international limited as I wanted to discuss everything in detail with them." I ordered. she nod her head. I looked back at my laptop to continue my work. “Ivanna” I turned my head towards her when kept her hand over mine. "Is everything okay,?" she asked as a good friend. "Yeah.. What will happen to
Ivanna Pov's.I rested my head on my mysterious man's shoulder, trying to figure out what is going on in my life. After a while, I turned my head towards him, only to find his eyes on me. He was looking at me with so much love. His eyes were the first thing that took my heart then his smile and gestures was the one which made me want to take the risk of falling in love again. Tears welled up in my eyes remembering how he left me alone in that hotel room. I wanted to confess my feelings to him but destiny showed me that I meant to be alone."What happened? Why are you crying?" I touched my cheeks, only to realise I was crying. I was so lost in his thoughts that I didn't notice when my tears betrayed my eyes."Don't worry... No one can harm you when I'm here. Please don't cry" He muttered and wiped my tears lovingly. I chuckled and parted away from him. "Do you think I'm crying because of fear of losing my life?" I chuckled and wiped my unwanted tears which were falling continuously wi
Ivanna Pov's . I was looking at him dumbfounded, not able to understand what I should say to him. Tears welled up in my eyes seeing him in pain. I was about to cry when suddenly he started laughing, startling me. "Half-wit" I called him as he was laughing like a maniac. "Look at your face" I looked at him with an open mouth, realising he was pranking me. "Gosh… You scared me, asshole” I cursed and started hitting him with my hand. He was laughing, making fun of me. "Argh.. I hate you,” I groaned. "I'm sorry but your face.. You were about to cry" he said between his laughs. "Because I got scared of breaking a beautiful soul's heart." he stopped laughing and looked at me with a mild smile. He kept his hand on my left cheek and moved his thumb. I closed my eyes feeling his soothing touch. "You can never hurt anyone… It's not in you" I opened my eyes and looked into his eyes. "Why were you crying?" I asked. "I wasn't crying but pretending" he laughed. I hit him on his chest. "I
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
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
