After he left home without eating anything, Nina returned to her room and continued to stay there throughout the day. While thinking about why his behaviour turned so cold towards her suddenly, she fell asleep and woke up with the noise of window pane slamming. Nina woke up from her sleep with that noise and noticed that a storm had come outside and the windows of her room were open. She looked at the wall clock and it was already 6 in the evening. She slept the entire afternoon. With a soft sigh, she stepped down from the bed but as soon as she placed her feet on the ground, Nina felt her head suddenly spin. Her head was even feeling heavy. She squeezed her eyes in order to numb that aching in her head and went to close the windows of her room. Nina looked outside and found the sky was engulfed with dark clouds and even shiny lights were scattering all over it. The weather had turned bad, so she decided to go outside her room to check if all the windows and doors in the house were
“So does this pretty angel like roses?” Nina heard that woman asking her. Her tone was soft and gentle. Little Nina looked upward at her and found her staring at her with an endearing smile on her face. That woman was looking really very pretty to her. Her smile started fading Nina's nervousness. Little Nina nodded at that beautiful woman and spoke.“They are my favourite,” she told her and found that woman's smile widening.“Really? And why are they your favourite?” She heard the woman asking her.“Because I have seen it in a princess movie when we love someone we give them red roses,” little Nina answered and found that pretty lady chuckling at her answer.“Then I think we should give our beautiful angel a beautiful rose like her,” Nina saw that woman taking out a rose from that bouquet and giving it to her.Nina batted her lashes and took that rose from her, thinking that the pretty lady loved her. That was why she was giving her red rose. “Does it mean you love me?” she asked, g
After returning from his work, when he searched for Nina in his entire house but couldn't find her, he understood she could be in that one specific place which blazed rage in each and every vein in his body. With his gritted teeth and clenched palms, he went upstairs to that room which he had made forbidden for everyone to even get closer to because it used to be his and Noelle's bedroom and after losing her, he never allowed anyone to get inside there. Rican reached upstairs and saw the door of that room was wide open. It confirmed his suspicions and doubled his rage. He dashed towards that room but as soon as he entered inside, his eyes widened in shock.Nina was laying on the floor like a lifeless body, just right under Noelle's picture. He stormed towards her.“Nina,” he tapped on her cheeks while kneeling beside her on the floor. He pulled her head on his lap.“Nina, wake up,” he uttered in sheer desperation to get her answer but she didn't answer. She didn't look at him and sh
“Why did you get inside that room, Nina?” His extremely calm and cavernous voice reverberated against the walls of that room but Nina knew there was nothing calm about his presence. His demeanour was darkening with every passing second and was turning more and more fatal. Nina felt a shiver running down her spine when he started walking closer towards her. His nefariously blank eyes refused to leave hers which made Nina pull her knees to her chest. She lowered her head and wrapped her arms around her knees when she felt him standing beside her. Even without looking at him, she could feel his gaze was just on her and was waiting for her answer. “I asked you something. Why did you get inside that room?” He repeated his question while still holding his patience with her. His gaze was fixed at her lowered head but Nina could clearly sense the warning hidden in his calm tone and words. Her silence was on the edge of pushing him to his limits which made Nina swallow and then she finally o
Rican was about to leave for his work but he decided to check on her before leaving so that he could tell her to eat and take her medicines on time. He just stepped inside her door when he heard saying those words to someone on a call.“Actually I called to ask you about the submission of our new semester fee? Today is its last date so….” He silently heard her conversation which clearly made him aware that today was the last date for her fees submission in her college and that extremely tensed look on her face told him her real problem… that she didn't have that amount.He watched her grabbing some money in her hand after she got done talking on the phone and she even threw that money on the bed. After that, he witnessed her clutching her head and lowering it in complete helplessness which made him sigh.She could have clearly told him regarding this when it was a matter of her studies and future but she was too stubborn to do that which annoyed him a bit.“Done being dramatic?” He f
As soon as she saw that glass of liquor in his hand, Nina stopped in her tracks. He was drinking and that thing was enough for her to stop that idea of getting closer to him because she knew what intoxication was capable of making people do. She had witnessed how brutal people could turn when they were intoxicated and she was terrified to witness it again. She stopped and slightly clenched her shorts whereas he just keenly peered at her every action of hers. He clearly observed that fear engulfing her all of a sudden. She had come here while boiling in anger but suddenly she started looking like a terrified kid. “Why did you assign m…my name to your hotel for a job?” She tried her best to not stutter but her words came out in a bit of a shivering way which clearly told him about her fear and nervousness. Instead of answering her, he chugged down all the liquid in his glass in own gulp and then threw the towel on his hand on the bed. He turned around to refill his empty glass and it
“What about my heart if it ever dares to fall for you?” Her question froze him completely for a while as he had never expected her to say something like this to him all of a sudden and when he processed her words, he gritted his teeth. Anger blazed inside him, turning him malicious.He dug his fingers against the tender skin of her waist and yanked her forcibly against his body.“Then I will kill you that day with my own fucking hands,” he snarled at her in warning laced tone and that was enough for Nina's heart to get shattered into countless pieces because she somehow had already anticipated this answer from him.“You get your answer to why I don't want your luxury, Mr Alfanso,” she spoke out, giving him the clear explanation of the coming consequences. He just peered at her.“That’s the reason I don't want to be with you because I don't want to stay with a man who is going to do everything that would make my heart fall for him in the name of his favours but he is never going to eve
“What are you doing? Leave my hand,” Nina shouted at him while trying to snatch her wrist from his extremely violent grip but it felt like his ears had turned deaf because he continued to drag her with him in an aggressive manner. His hold continued to turn more rigid around her wrist, making Nina feel like her skin had started burning.“Leave me,” Nina constantly struggled but he never left her wrist from his hold whereas every single person present around them turned perplexed. The staff members of N.R. Alfanso and even the visitors and guests, who had come there, their eyes widened, by seeing someone so well reputed and putative, dragging that teenage girl along with him like that, who was protesting and struggling in his grip but he was not letting her go, even in front of so many people.Everyone stood up on their feet whereas their enlarged gazes remained stuck on them but his feet didn't stop. At that point, he didn't give a fuck about his reputation, his name or any fucking th
“She loves me more….”“No, she loves me more….” “No, me….”“Me…”“Me…..”“Nori…Rina….” Hearing that voice, both the girls turned their heads and saw their father standing at the door who was peering at them with a startled look on his face as he was watching both of his daughters grabbing each other's hairs and trying to make each other go bald. It made him recall about his own childhood when he and his sister, Flora, used to pull each other's hair in every fight.Sighing heavily, he walked towards his daughters who were still glaring at each other. Rican kneeled beside both of them as they both had inherited their adorable heights from their mother.“And why are my princesses fighting again?” He asked while trying to make them lose their grips around each other's hair before they would rip each other's hair apart.“You both know that if mamma hears you both fighting again then she will throw all of us out of our home,” he uttered, making both of his toddlers giggle as last time which
Her hands were surrounded around his naked back. He had stripped both of their bodies completely bare which were grazing against each other. Laying under him, Nina was enjoying his mouth claiming her sweetness as his. Their tongues were colliding with each other while their mouths were sucking each other’s warmth. Nina gripped his hair when he trailed towards her jaw and started putting sloppy kisses there and then travelled down towards her neck. Her body shuddered when he gave a suck on her sweet spot. After that, he licked her skin with his warm and wet tongue which erupted numerous sensations inside her body. Nina squeezed her legs, unable to control those tingles which she was feeling in her lower region.He took one of her bosoms in his mouth and started sucking on her nipples which made Nina nibble on her lower lip. Bliss washed over her. This man surely knew how to drive her crazy for him. Nina was busy enjoying the pleasure he was giving her when suddenly she remembered somet
“I wanted to spend our first wedding night in our home because we needed to meet her,” Nina said to him whose gaze was fixed at those celestial sapphire orbs of Noelle's in that picture in front of him.Nina watched him staring at Noelle's picture wordlessly which made her sigh softly. Nina held his hand which made him slowly trail his gaze towards her. Rican found a soft smile playing on her face.“You know that day when I met her for the very first time….” He heard her pausing and then she turned her head to look at Noelle's picture.“That 12 year old Nina fell in love with her, especially when she gave her that rose because that 12 year old Nina used to believe that we gave rose to that person whom we love,” Rican wordlessly heard every word of hers which she was saying to him with that tender smile on her face.“And you know when I asked her if she loves me…she told me that she loves me a lot,” Rican saw her smile widening as he was sure she might be recalling that day when she ha
“You are looking mesmerising, Nina,” A soft smile formed on her face, hearing Aniya while her cerulean eyes were gazing at her own reflection in the mirror where she was watching herself wrapped in that beautiful pale white gown which had shining stones encrusted on it. A long veil was attached to the top of her head. Her face had no layer of makeup which was showing her tiny freckles. Her lips had a natural flush of rosy pink but the most beautiful part of her appearance was her slightly swollen belly which had started showing finally as she had stepped into her third trimester of pregnancy.Smiling, she placed her palm over her tummy and gently caressed it.“So how is Mr Junior Alfanso feeling about his parents getting married today finally?” Flora asked, beaming. Her question made Nina blush. Yes, today was that day when she was getting married not just only to the love of her life but also to the father of her baby. No, it was not feeling like a dream anymore because her devil Al
Both Rican and Nina got up from the sofa, seeing Cain and his parents walking in their direction. Nina found Rican not just only stepping closer to her but also ahead of her a bit with Cain's every step coming towards her and she knew exactly why. He had now turned viciously possessive and protective of her after everything that had happened in their lives and especially when their child was breathing inside her now. He didn't want to take any kind of risk in any way. They both saw Cain standing in front of them while his parents stood behind him. They saw Cain lowering his eyes before them. “I am sorry, uncle Rican, Nina. I am really very sorry,” they heard Cain apologising to them with his lowered head. Lifting his hands up, he joined them in front of him. “I know my mistakes are not forgivable, especially the inhumanity which I had tried to do with Nina and then getting blinded by hatred for you, I ended up harming uncle Rican whom I have always considered as my family, so please
“I am sorry,” Nina saw him uttering those words to her. His glossy gaze lingered at her like he had been terrified that he was not going to see her again and this was what she had been feeling since the moment she got to know about his attack. She had died in those few hours with every passing second to just get a glimpse of him. She was turning lifeless just to witness that his life was safe and protected. Nina felt a scorching pain evoking inside her heart when she saw a lone tear rolling down from the corner of his eyes. It made her heart bleed. “I am sorry, Nina. Please forgive me for hurting you, mi reina,” he breathed out, staring into her cerulean watery eyes which glossed up more at his words. Sitting beside him on the bed, Nina slanted herself closer to him and his heart finally found its peace when he felt her pressing her lips against his forehead. She kissed his forehead with everything she had, telling him how much she had longed for him and how much she had been hurting
“Mi alma….” Rican's froze completely. After seven long years of that painful yearning, he was finally seeing her in front of him. His best friend, his existence, his very first love, his alma. Immediately tears stung his eyes. Rican threw his arms around her and bursted out crying. He tightly clutched her in his embrace, fearing she would vanish if he would loosen just even a bit which he didn't want. He didn't want to let her slip from his embrace again. He didn't want her to fade again.“I missed you. I missed you so much, mi alma,”he uttered in between his sobs while hugging her more tightly. After seven years, he got to hold her in his arms. He got to see her again. He got to talk to her again. He got to feel her again.Rican felt her wrapping her arms around him which gave his heart the tranquillity he had been dying to feel all these years. It made him tear up more like a little kid.“Hey! Why are you crying?” he heard her saying to him before she pulled back to look at him. Ri
“It has happened because of me,” That voice made Riccardo tilt his head and his eyes enlarged, seeing Cain in front of him. His head was wrapped in a bandage. Multiple bruises were visible on his face. It bewildered Riccardo, especially when he saw Kester and Niley standing behind Cain. Kester and his family avoided attending their wedding anniversary party, saying that they were out of town but everyone knew they didn't come to the celebration gathering because of Nina and Cain's past. But respecting their decision, Riccardo didn't force them to attend the party then what they were doing here?Riccardo watched Cain walking towards him, followed by his parents, Kester and Niley. “Uncle Rican is in this position because of me, grandpa,” Cain uttered, lowering his head in front of Riccardo. His words startled him even more. Riccardo looked at Niley and Kester and saw their heads were lowered too. Tears were falling from Niley's eyes. Riccardo darted his gaze at Easton and found him nod
“How is he now, doctor?” Riccardo uttered, extremely tensed and worried. They all had come to the hospital after finding out about Rican's condition and that attack on him. “We can't say anything till the operation won't be finished. The bullet has been aimed at his chest and he has been attacked by a knife multiple times, so we need to find out if he has received any harm to any of his vital organs,” the doctor informed.Nina's eyes filled with more tears, hearing the doctor. He had been hurt so much and it was just because of her. She told him to leave her alone. She told him to leave from there and if she would not have said that, if she would have tried to listen to him for once, if she would have not been so selfish with him then none of this would have ever happened. His life would not have been at stake if she would have kept him closer to her. It had happened because of her and her selfishness. She turned so blind in her own pain that she forgot that she was his only cure and
