“Mrs Karren?” Nina spoke, startled, seeing her landlady in front of her. In all of this mess, she completely forgot about this headache of hers. Nina saw her landlady sending her a dispising glare before she pushed Nina's arm away to let herself step inside the door. Nina scowled while glaring at her back because that woman had no manners or etiquettes. Whenever she came here, she didn't leave a single chance to make Nina remember that this house belonged to her. “So, Ms. Halzel, where is my rent?” Mrs Karren asked her with no courtesy or politeness. Nina sighed. She had not given her the rent of the previous month and her landlady had already visited her almost more than ten times to get her rent from her. “Mrs Karren, I will give it to you just give….” “I don't have any time for your same lame excuses, Ms. Halzen, of getting fired from your job because that's not my headache to take,” her landlady shut her up. “I have given you my house to live in, so I need my rent for it and
“Welcome to your new home,” Nina heard Cain telling her after opening the door of his apartment for her. Soon after packing her stuff, he told her to move in with him without waiting for the next morning. Nina felt hesitant but reluctantly she agreed to his decision and came here to his apartment with him after leaving her own home ... .at least that was what she had been believing as her home for the past six months. Nina stepped inside his apartment. It was not the first time she was coming here. He had taken her here a few times before too but she had always stayed in his apartment for not more than an hour but right now, she was going to stay here for full days and even nights which was terrifying her the most because she didn't know for how long she would have to stay here with him. Besides, no matter what Nina was not comfortable sharing her privacy with someone, especially with an opposite gender. Called her narrow minded or hypocrite, Cain was her boyfriend but Nina was still
“His name is Carl Abrot,” he heard his man telling him. His piercing brown eyes were fixed at the picture of that man in front of him.“And as per our sources, he lives around Dawn Blue College. He has been caught wandering around that college most of the time, especially during the nighttime,” he keenly heard every word of his man who was informing him about a man who had been suspecting keeping his eyes on them and their underworld business.“Our suspicion is not confirmed yet that he has been working for Gonzalezs or not,” “Keep your eyes on him and his every move,” he finally opened his mouth, staring at the picture of that man.“Okay and what about that girl, Nina Halzen?” He heard his man asking him suddenly and hearing that girl's name, his palm clenched on his own.“Should we keep our eyes on h…”“Forget about her,” he shut that man up, barely being able to hold his anger from bursting out at his man just because he dared to mention about that filth of a girl.Snapping his ga
After climbing the stairs, Nina reached the second floor of that huge mansion of Alfansos. She roamed her eyes everywhere around her and noticed there were more than half a dozen rooms on this floor and she had also forgotten to ask Mr Riccardo Alfanso about in which room she should be going. For a brief moment, she continued to stand there while thinking about where she should be heading to but suddenly she recalled that stain of pudding on her dress. She looked down and witnessed that pudding stain drying up on her favourite and one and only dress. Resisting thinking about anything else, Nina dashed inside the very first room she found on her way, without even trying to find out to whom it belonged. She entered that room and wandered her eyes everywhere in search of a bathroom and in that process, she noticed something off about this room and she herself didn't know why and what. Probably because she didn't like the vintage and cool tone colours of this room. It was giving her s
“Let alone thinking about fucking touching you, Nina Halzen,” Nina heard him snarling at her. His choice of words for her enraged her. What the fuck he thought of her? And how fucking dared he talked to her like this after everything,? “Glad to know that we have the same thoughts regarding each other,” she spat at him, glaring upward at his burning gaze. The shower water was splashing down on both of their bodies but it did nothing to calm that anger building up inside them for each other. “And about stripping myself naked for a man like you then don't worry about it. My days haven't turned so bad that I would have to remove my clothes for a man almost twice my age, Mr Devil Alfanso,” she seethed out at him. He flared his nostrils, processing the meaning behind her words. Her audacious nature and filthy big mouth were getting under his skin and in the worst possible way because he had never let anyone talk to him like this ever, except for that one specific person whom he had lost 7
Hearing her taking the name of his deceased wife, he completely snapped out of his own control. He lost it entirely because he despised even letting anyone take his wife's name with a wrong intention and here, she dared to insult it by insulting his love for his wife which was his existence. She dared to harm his existence and there was no forgiveness for it for him. Losing his rational senses, he clutched her neck in an extremely violent grip, blocking the passage of her air. “How fucking dared you to take her name from your filthy mouth?” He growled at her, turning his grip more brutal around her neck. Nina's face had started turning red. Tears were vigorously streaming down from her eyes as she could neither say or do anything. Her anxiety kicked in the very second she looked down and saw that blood trailing down from his hand and falling on her dress whereas his brutal hold around her neck turned her panic attack more worse for her to endure. She turned so vulnerable that she w
“Because Rican hates himself for not being able to save his wife and his child's life 7 years ago,” Riccardo's words froze Nina in every possible way. Her teary eyes slightly widened in shock. She was not aware of this. All this she had been believing that he had lost his wife but that was the incomplete truth. 7 years ago, he had lost his child too.“But Cain never told me about this. He….” Nina didn't even know what to say anymore after hearing about that thing which was capable of wrecking anyone's heart with pain just like her heart was aching now. She could not even imagine the pain he must have felt that time when he had to lose, both his wife and his child.Nina looked away from Riccardo to trail her eyes at Aniya and saw tears glistening in her eyes. Even Riccardo's eyes were engulfed with gloominess and pain. It hurt Nina more and she herself didn't know why their pain was bothering and affecting her so much.Lifting her palm up, Nina placed it over Aniya's face. She got that
“Do you think I won't notice that you intentionally planned everything to make sure Nina and Rican would get in front of each other here again?” Aniya snapped at her husband because she found out everything her husband had been trying to do in secret. “I had seen you doing something with that pen which you handed Rican and I had even heard you talking to that staff member who dropped that pudding on Nina's dress, Riccardo. I know everything,” Aniya uttered more angrily. She had seen Riccardo doing something to that pen in his study room but she didn't pay much attention to it at that time, believing it was something normal and later when she was returning from the kitchen after helping the staff members, she heard him talking to that staff member about dropping that pudding on Nina's dress intentionally but before she could stop him, it had already turned too late and they all heard that loud noise of glass shattering which came from Rican's room and they all had to run there and fou
“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
