Tiara's POV I am nervous. I never felt this nervous ever in my life. Today I woke up earlier than I usually wake. I have to do a lot of things today, so much have I planned and so little time I have to accomplish all my plans. Taking a deep breath I threw the duvet off, I rubbed my hands to pat my face warm with it. And then putting my feet in my fluffy slippers, I walked towards my widow, I opened the windows and with closed eyes I let the sunlight hit my face with a lot of positivity. Then taking a determined breath, I went to my vanity, opening the drawers I pulled out the things, I need for the day. With a satisfied smile, I let my feet twirl and with the things I pulled out from my drawer, I went straight into the bathroom. On the shelf where the towels are kept, was a wooden basket, pulling it from the shelf I emptied the contents of my hand into it. I walked to the jacuzzi and opened the tap for the jacuzzi to get it filled. Then opening another cabinet bes
Tiara's POV "I am not lying" I shout banging my hand on his office desk. My eyes held tears as I see his indifference to my outburst. " Tiara you need res..." " No Cel. Rafe is here, he was here, I saw him believe him." I say grabbing her hands, I was desperate for someone to believe me but as I look around his wooden office, I see all their eyes looking at me with pity. " So none of you trust me," I say in disbelief and hurt, as I look at all of them, and finally, when my eyes rest on Stefano, I realized that they think I am making up stories. " Doc said you must have a concussion," says Celina pitifully, looking at me but even she was not trusting me. " Leave me alone." that's all I said before I leave them all in the room and walk out of the mansion. I don't where I will go but all I know is that right now I can't stay here. I know I made a mistake, but that doesn't mean I am seeing things or I will start making stories, about something so crucial. They
Tik Tok... Tik Tok I remember when I was little, I guess five or six years old, dad had this pendulum watch I'm his office. Whenever I was at dad's office, I will always stare at it, moving to and fro. That tik to sound was quite mesmerizing. Sitting there I would kept looking at and pouted as looking at the clock, I felt as if the time is moving quite slowly and I hated that watch. Because being in dad, office meant, I was punished, hence the watch and I were enemies. But it was dad's pride and joy. And the same hatred I am feeling now. But this time, I cannot blame the clock, it's my impatience and the need to break the silence in the room that is annoying. Half hour, it's been half hour, of Stefano bringing me into his room, we are sharing the same bed, but not a single word he has uttered, not only thus he is maintaining a distance from me. It's as if there is an imaginary line he has drawn between us, and I can't seem to find the courage to cross it. Laying flat
" You will go to the club, along with the guards, and pretend that you want to get rid of them. You better look nervous and hesitant. Keep looking around yourself. But make sure T that you don't leave your place. Ok?" I saw the kitten nodding to everything that her brother explained. She is scared and it is fair to be. She is about to face the man who is responsible for the worst thing that ever happened to her. The man who rapes... Fuck!!! I can't even say the word without, feeling fury run through me, clutching the paperweight in plans, I look at my kitten sitting silently on the couch in front of my desk, while Jaxon sitting across from her, is very patiently explaining the half of the plan. There is no one else in the office, except Jaxon, Tiara, and Luciano, who is sitting in front of me in one of the visitor's chairs. His eyes are fixed on Tiara, the way he is looking at her, and the emotion he has in his eyes, I am quite familiar with that because that is t
Slowly nature was putting a blanket over the day, letting the darkness spread. The night silent than ever, but if one listens carefully, one can see the night discussing its darkest secrets. In its shades, the night is hiding dangerous plans of people, ready to bring chaos in the lives of people silently sleeping in their beds, unaware of enemies living under the roof. " Your son is again doing something." the dark and dangerous voice, broke the tense silence with the knife of his sharp voice. His eyes pierced the old man sitting across from him. The man's shadows can see the way his voice made the old man shiver, how he is wiping the sweat off his face, the man squinted his eyes, suspicious, he is sure that son of bitch is up to something, something that going to ruin his plans. " I asked something." his voice boomed in the empty room. "I... I haven't heard from him for days." the old man stuttered, as he moved his eyes here and there, not meeting the eyes of the l
Sierra......The name left my lips, but my feet stopped the moment I spot Rafe in front of her. Immediately I turned in the opposite direction. Fuck!!! I cursed under my breath and ran back to my position, from where I was supposed to keep an eye on Tiara. Only for me to be surprised, instead of Tiara Sierra showed up. How was she able to pull that stunt off is beyond me. How she replaced Tiara is something that I will know only if she succeeds in fooling Rafe. And from the way Rafe is looking at her with so much glint, it's clear he fell right into her trap. She did well. She took advantage of being Tiara's twin, hid her scar, and dyed her hair of the same color as Tiara's. Right now she is looking like the mirror image of Tiara. No wonder it was hard for people to distinguish between them if not for their hair and eye color. She fooled me as well, for a moment she was Tiara to me as well, if not for her eyes to meet mine. She may look like my kitten but she can n
I knew, my guts never lie, I knew something is wrong. It's all my fault, I took Rafe for granted, he is more clever than I have thought. In just a blink of an eye, this was all it took for him to execute his plans. That fucking motherfucker wanted war, he wanted chaos, and he got exactly what he wanted. I lost more than I was ready for or anticipated. " Fucking breath Luciano!!!!" I yelled at my brother, whose eyes are drooping close, he is holding his chest tightly, that same eyes as mine squeezed tight as he groans in pain, his once white shirt drenched in red and for the second time in my life, I am scared. I can't lose him, he is my brother, but more than that he is the other half of me. I nurtured him like a son more than a brother. " Keep your fucking eyes open Luce.!!!" the audacity of this man, that he is smiling at me, while he is drenched in his blood. " Drive fast Jaxon." Jason looks at us and nods, he increases the speed, crossing the speed limi
Confusion spreads on my face, and before I can understand his words I heard a gunshot, my head snaps towards the entrance and there stood Luciano, his eyes red, his hair unruly, and his face sweaty, to anyone he is looking perfectly fine. But he is my brother, and he is not fine, he is looking exhausted, Luce always has this strong face with no emotion, one that he uses to scare his enemies off, his death stare. But today he looks exhausted, without wasting a second I ran to my brother, and seems like it was what he was waiting for as no sooner did I reach him than he fell straight into my ears. He has been shot, I looked at him and then behind him to see Giovanni standing there, he is pale almost frightened, and there is a gun in his hand. My jaw tightens and without thinking anything I took my gun out and emptied all my bullets into his body, I didn't even give him a second to take his next breath before I took his last breath, his body falls dead on the ground. "
Life never had been this beautiful. Yeah, year's ago I didn't though I would be here, with Stefano Valentino. But life is unpredictable. And I came to know of it the hard way. " You look beautiful. " I turn to see the love of my life my husband standing behind me in his signature black tix, I am wearing a matching black silk dress with a diamond necklace that has a black emerald in the middle. The ears had small diamond studs. My hair was clean straight, mid parted. Makeup minimum, giving me those businesswoman wives. And I am loving the look of the confident boss woman that I pulled. From the mirror I see Stefano walk towards me his hands wrap around my waist and he places a small kiss on my makes shoulder as the dress is off his shoulder. I close my eyes and Savour his touch on my skin, the beautiful, exotic tingle run through my body, and I smile. " you look ravishing as well. " I turn and wound my hands around his neck, standing on my tiptoes, I place a
3 months later __________________" Lucas, you better tell your dog to stay away from the kitchen!!!" I scream at him as his whole focus is fixed on the football match going on the television. " I am craving chocolates. " Celina grew taking a seat beside her brother and takes a mouthful of the popcorn that he has been eating less and scattering before she looks me with those pleading eyes. I sigh and look at her before looking at her stomach, she is four months pregnant, and as much as I love the fact that my brother is soon going to be a father, I am done with her craving. She is keeping the whole house on their toes. She is moody snappy, suddenly too happy, and always hungry, I don't know what I am to do with these cravings when all I want to do sometimes is scream in frustration, and sometimes I think, I am gonna go bald if I keep tugging my hairs like this. " here is chocolate muffins for your and a hot chocolate with marshmallows. " I turn and give a thankful l
"Because if he wanted I could have everything that I wanted but no he never fuckimg wanted my dreams to be fulfilled. Always told that I am better away from this life. " he spat looking into my eyes, his hold on the gun tightening everyone else in the room was looking at me emotionless, except for Jaxon who is looking broke. " I don't understand. " I whispered because I genuinely don't do. " A position that the Italians never gave me. Russians offered. But that came with a price. The price was a SAW file. " frowning I look at him, Jaxon and I shared a confused look. " What are you talking about Dad? " it was Jaxon who asked this time. It's like both of us had several questions that we wanted answers to. Because if we are dying today at least we will die in peace knowing all the truth. " The Russians offered me to be their right hand but they wanted the SAW file, the file had all the secrets of the Italian mafia sealed in it. Something that could have destroyed t
Tiara's POV I winced hearing my uncle scream and look at my brother and my heart breaks as he look at his father as if he is looking at a stranger. I can read the look because I had the same look when I saw him there at the hospital.A complete starter. No one that I knew or want to know. " I wasn't the king. Your uncle was and I fucking wanted to be. I wanted to be the king. " he roared again and with both surprise and shock I looked at him. His eyes snapped towards mine, there was animalistic rage in his eyes, a look that made me cower away when he walked towards me, " Your father, he never wanted to be in this, he wanted to play family, and yet people gave him everything that I wanted and dreamed about to him on a fucking platter. " he is angry because my father was the right-hand man of the Italian mafia. Breathing hard he continued, " And what did your father do, he left everything and ran away with your mother. Disrespecting something so valuable. And yet thes
I never liked battles. Blood, violence, chaos, all these were some of the words I hated in one sentence. The reason for it being me is love peace and happiness because that is all I saw while growing up. I had parents with the kindest heart. They used to charity, help the needy and we're always someone who likes being away from any kind of violence. Then Rafe came into our lives and that night, everything changed. I came to know I was living in a bubble, surrounded by people, I deemed fit in my comfort zone, then suddenly that bubble burst and I realize it was all a dream and life woke me with the biggest jolt of my life. It not only shook me but life around me. Everything changed and realized just outside the little bubble I was living in there was a war going on my kindest parents were a part of that war and so was me now. I tried escaping the war, I wanted no part in it, but somehow, I found myself standing in the middle of it. But I kept trying, I trie
" Tia, did you take your medicine?" I turn towards the source of the voice. In front of me stands the only man I know. Ramon is standing in front of me as I curl more into the couch I am lying on, he has a worried look on his face. His signature glasses are off his face and in his hands.I glance at him and the small bottle he had in his hand, he looks between me and the bottle. While I try to register what he asked. He asked me if I took the pill. Feeling exhausted all the time, it is difficult for me to process things, I take time, but when his question sinks, I look at him with heavy eyes and nod. Talking is too much for my always fatigued self. I like answering with my features than words, they are easier. Ramin sighs heavily and then takes place on the same couch as me, near my foot. He brings my feet onto his lap and starts massaging them. Once again like all the time, for a snap of seconds, I feel rattled and pull away from his hold but the feeling goes no s
Tiara's POV " He helped Ramon kidnap me. " I told the bitter truth with my throat clogging. He opened his mouth but before he can utter anything we heard a sound to see Jaxon and Celina standing at the door. Where Celina looked both shocked and happy. Jaxon seems lost. Celina rams straight towards me, and engulfs me in her arms, " I missed you. " I hugged her back, holding her in my arms, it all feels real. I feel like I am back home. They are home. But when I look at my brother, I am not sure how I am feeling. I would be honest, a part of me suspects that he is working with his father. How can he not, he is the father. Is he also a snake? And seems like, he read the suspicion in my eyes. " Dad would never do such a thing. " When I thought he would explain himself, he did the exact opposite, he defended him. He looks, at my accusation of his father hurt, " Have you forgotten T, he is the one who took you under his wings when you had nothing left
God has his way of working things up. One moment someone might think that they are at the top of the world but the very next month, they may realize that they are dying. I know I am no saint to talk about this and all. But I can be sure that I am also not someone who ever hurt someone innocent. I was a good human. Helped those who were in need, those fed who can't afford food. And was kind to others. Maybe today I got the reward for all that. As I watch my enemy pacing around me, I know I had walked myself into a fox's have, this can be my end, or his. Whatever game he was playing till now, has now come to its end and it's now time whether I am winning or I am losing, but what I am sure of is, I am not going without a fight. The reason I smile at my enemy is when he gives me a cup of my favorite cup of iced coffee. Ramon Morettii. There were many men in my life, and I hated them. Till now Rafe Giovanni topped the list but today someone threw him from his
Yesterday was one of the most peaceful, months, she was still a stranger but peace was there. I wish I could have stopped the time, she wanted to stay more than her I wanted her to stay. But I had to let her go, I had no choice. If she would have stayed a second more, I would have had all my control and would have been higher, the way she was sitting in front of me, and the little trust she showed me, even though I am a stranger to her. Tiara doesn't know but that was the biggest hope for me. A hope that soon I will have my kitten back. Soon kitten. Just keep your faith. I wish I could have told her how much I love them, how much I want her to be by my side. How much I love it. How much my heart ached for her. I want to tell her everything and anything that I want to. I once again want to hold her in my arms, from dusk to dawn, I want her natural smell of strawberry to consume my soul and senses. I want to hide from the world. Sometimes when I sit and think
