“Be mine and let me be yours so that no one could part us ever, mi reina,” Nina was taken aback by his proposal. She couldn’t just believe what her ears had been hearing. Did he just propose to her for their wedding? It startled her because Nina had not even slightly expected this from him, especially yet when he was still learning to love her. “Be my life partner, Nina. I will…..” “Do you want to do this just because of what others are going to think of our relationship?” she halted him in the middle. Pain shimmered in her eyes because she thought he was suggesting their marriage all of a sudden in order to give a name to their relationship in front of the world which she didn’t want. She didn’t want him to do anything for her by getting under the pressure of society. She needed him to do everything for her from his heart. “You don’t have to do this to make me happy in front of the world. I can….”he shushed her by placing his index finger over her lips. “I don’t care about what
Cain’s eyes were glaring at her with a vicious malice in his gaze but Nina chose not to react to it anymore as she had no need. None of them worth even any reaction from her, so exhaling a soft sigh, she resumed her walking and was about to walk past him when suddenly Cain grabbed her arm in an extremely violent grip. Nina yelped in pain.“Fucking leave me,” she warned him while trying to snatch her arm from his grip but her words made him smirk cunningly. Cain clutched her arm in a more aggressive grip which started hurting Nina’s entire arm.“So, my fucking uncle is just not only fucking you but he has put some cells in your fucking dumb head too,” he said to her while chuckling at her wickedly. Nina clenched her jaw. “Interesting. My uncle has turned the dumb Nina a lot brave and smart. I guess,” Cain laughed at her.“So…” Cain lifted his hand to touch her face but before he could touch her, Nina kneed him in between his thighs hardly. Cain growled in pain and let go off her arm.
“Nina, Rican……meet my new business partner, Hector Erold and his son, Dimitri Erold,” Seeing Dimitri in front of her, Nina turned startled but her shock became terror when her eyes trailed towards Rican and she found him glowering at Rican. Nina swallowed in fear. “Nina,” Dimitri’s voice made Nina tilt her head to look at him and found Dimitri giving her some confused glances and she knew exactly why. He must have not expected to see her here, especially so close to Alfanso family. Rican clenched his fists when he heard Dimitri taking her name and then coming closer towards her. “You here?” Dimitri asked, standing in front of Nina. She gulped before slowly nodding at him. Their interaction bewildered Riccardo a bit. “You both know each other?” Riccardo asked, making both Nina and Dimitri look at him. “Yes, Mr Alfanso. Me and Nina know each other really well,” Dimitri’s answer boiled Rican’s blood. This fucker was pushing his limits so badly that he knew his control would snap a
“And the only person I am ever going to marry is him, Dimitri,” Nina spoke out in her loud and clear voice. When she and Aniya returned from the kitchen with food for everyone, they found Riccardo trying to part Rican’s hand from Dimitri’s neck. It startled both the women and somehow it hurt Nina that even after she begged him not to do anything irrational here, he still raised his hand at Dimitri. It was until she heard Riccardo saying to Dimitri and his father that she could not marry Dimitri, Nina understood everything and decided to enter into that conversation as it was happening in the first place just because of her.Nina walked towards them while holding that tray of juice glasses. Aniya followed her, who was carrying the plates of snacks. They placed the food and juice glasses on the table and then Nina finally looked at Dimitri. Exhaling a soft sigh, she walked towards him whose gaze was already fixed at her.“Dimitri….” Nina stood in front of him.“I am sorry if this is goi
“I am not going to leave Mr and Mrs. Alfanso alone till their son doesn’t get back to them,” Nina’s words stunned Riccardo and Aniya. They both passed a glance at each other before focusing their gaze back at their son who had still not turned around to look at Nina but Nina’s eyes were fixed at him.“And if you want you can stay here with me,” Nina stated but it was enough for Rican to clench his jaw. Rage blazed up inside him. Slowly turning around, he darted his malicious gaze at Nina. Rican took a step forward in her direction.“This is neither the right time nor the right place to show your fucking stubborness,” he seethed out at her through his gritted teeth and it made everyone present around him understood that he was holding his last string of patience there. “So let’s go,” he tried to drag her with him but she still didn’t move.“No, Rican. I am not going away from here today,” she spoke out. Her determination refused to fade, even after sensing how badly it was triggering h
“Rican has sent it here and has told us to make sure you take your medicines on time,” Riccardo told Nina which made her take her eyes down to look at that pouch of her medicines on the bed. She clutched it in her hand and just gazed at it in complete silence.Riccardo and Aniya glanced at each other as they could clearly feel what might be going inside her heart after all of this. She was at such a fragile stage in her life at such a tender age and on top of it, they knew it was not that easy to cope up with Rican’s thoughts and way of thinking but she was still trying to understand him with her open hearts and full efforts.Exhaling a soft sigh, Riccardo placed his palm over Nina’s head and tenderly patted it.“He loves you a lot, Nina,” Riccardo uttered and his words made Nina take her eyes upward to look at him. Riccardo sat beside her on the bed.“We are his parents. We have seen him growing up and developing all those feelings inside him which a human should have and for that re
Nina’s feet froze as soon as she saw him in front of her. Her eyes could not believe what they had been seeing. He was here. He was finally here. Her heart giggled up in happiness but then her head made her recall how he ignored her message and didn’t even try to contact her for once in those two days. He kept on holding onto his ego while here, she had been crying in pain just to get embraced by him, just to feel and see him for once. Rican was gazing at her when he suddenly found her looking away from him and he knew exactly why. She had a special trait of ignoring him to the extent that it would fuck him up completely and he loathed that trait of hers.Looking away from him, Nina trailed her eyes at Aniya and Riccardo who were already beaming at her. Nina returned their smile with open hearts and then walked towards them. She stood on the opposite side of him, beside the bed and he knew she did it intentionally to create as much distance between them as possible and it didn’t settl
“Aunty Nina, won’t you throw the cake at uncle Rican today?”Nina turned startled, along with everyone else. She still remembered that her aunty Nina had thrown cake at her uncle Rican that night of her birthday party.“Uncle Rican was looking sooo funny,” the little girl giggled while opening her tiny arms wide, telling everyone how funny her uncle Rican was looking that night. Nina could not help but mentally smirk in satisfaction. How she wished to throw that cake at his handsome face again and this time more forcefully. Nina looked at him and found him narrowing his gaze at her. Nina scowled at him and their argument continued through their gazes.“Aunty Nina, throw the cake at uncle Rican again,” the little girl told her innocent wish.“No, Eara. Aunty Nina can’t throw the cake at uncle Rican anymore,” Easton uttered, picking up his toddler in his arms.“Why papa?” the tiny being asked her papa.“Because Aunty Nina used to not like uncle Rican before, that was why she threw the ca
“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
