Tiara's POV "Nothing is looking good on me. " groaning, Lia throws herself a disapproving look in the mirror. I sigh for the hundredth time, knowing why is she not satisfied with herself.Because I was just like her if not for Celina, then I don't know how would have I managed all these dressing things. Thinking of Celina, I miss her, I miss her so much. She was my best friend, a friend, a friend I never had. She was the only one with whom I felt normal. And not to forget it's because of her I met Stefano and Lucas. Lucas, that little piece of my heart, I don't know how he is, I didn't even get the chance to tell him goodbye. I am sorry Lucas. "Tia...Tia. ""oh sorry I got lost." I apologized to a pouting Lia. Seeing how anxious she is. Yesterday after coming from her date, Lia was way happy, as the date went very well. she didn't wait for a sec when she started gushing about how good her date was, and how special he treated her. And she was also happy that he wanted her to mee
Shocked, I couldn't move. I could hear nothing all I saw, was a crowd gathered and bouncers started pulling Stefano away from the man, who's has gone limo, he was in between losing his consciousness. And I felt short of breath, my chest squeezing. I was suffocating. Taking the support of walls, I maneuvered from the mass of people, funding myself, to the exit. Abandoning the club I walked a little and hid in the ally beside the club. Sitting on the ground, I started taking deep breaths. My hands rubbed my chest. My vision was blurred and then I felt the streaming down from my face. And I knew I am having a panic attack. Deep breaths were no help. It was as if I forgot how to breathe. "Tiara.Tiara..." I can hear the voice but my body wasn't responding, as if everything was getting numb..." please baby please ...breath for me baby." slowly my brain registered the voice as Stefano's, and I once again tried breathing, the struggled continued but eventually I was able to come out of my
Stephano's POV TIARA WILLIAMS Who is this girl to me?I don't know.But what I know for sure is, that this girl, somehow has, become a great need of mine. I need her like one needs oxygen.She is like a drug. Which I knew is lethal still I took the risk only so that I can have a taste of her.And I thought tasting her once will be all I need. But what I forgot is once you taste the drug, it creates havoc in your head but at the same time the peace it brings makes you strive for more and more. And you keep doing it again and again, you risk everything. Put everything at stake. But you can't get rid of the addiction. Fuck!!!!She is everything I hate in a woman. She is sassy and likes to talk back. Even at our first meeting, she showed a mean attitude, that no woman before even attempted to do.Reckless. She is the definition of recklessness. She acts, before thinking. A trait, I hate people with. My brother Luciano possesses it too.And that is being unpredictable. All my life,
Tiara's POV Nights are always made for people to rest. Most people crave nights. They love the stars and moon and obsidian skies more than they like the sun. I was one of them too. After a long tiring day, I would wait for the bright rays of the sun to fade, the sky to turn orange, and gradually for it to be raven in color. And once the stars slowly start imitating the Christmas fairy lights. I would finish my dinner and would straight up go to my room, where I and my sister would climb to the roof of our window and would star gaze. With our eyes fixed on different constellations, we would hope for a shooting star. Meanwhile, we will run to each other all about how our day was spent. We were two normal sisters, talking about a teacher, boys, new fashion, new shows, and dreams. But that one incident changed everything. The comforting nights changed into nightmares. The rest turned into anxiety. I feared being with my thoughts and sleep was something that put the last nail in my c
"Achoo!!!" Sneezing, I rubbed my nose with the honkey."You caught a cold," Stefano states, glancing at me with concern, and then turns his head once again towards the road."Nah, just weather change." Nodding he glanced at me and then turns on the heat of the car.Rubbing my palms together, I wrap my jacket tighter and look out of the window. We are on a barren road with vast fields on both sides of the road and you can only spot only a few cars passing by us. Which means we are going somewhere away from the city. Looking at the green pastures my memory drifts back to my punishment a few hours ago. I blush thinking how I got wet by his punishment.Initially, I was shocked. I am not naive, I have read books, the erotic ones, and I enjoyed these punishments parts. But never did I think that this was something I wanted to experiment with when I get sexual and most importantly never thought I would enjoy it. And will crave more. After the punishment, Stefano left me hot and bothered.
Tiara's POVAt midnight, I woke up, and feel parched.Stefano was sleeping peacefully, with his arms wound around me. My back stick to his chest. Slowly, I pry his hands away from my body. And remove the sheets, only for cold winds, coming from the window, to graze my bare body. Naked I walked around the room, in search of something to cover my body. My eyes land on our bags, still unpacked. And i am in no mood to open and unpack in the middle of the night. Hence I look around again. Shivering, I kept looking to find Stefano's black shirt, on the ground. Picking it up, I put it on, and exit the room, on tiptoe. Not wanting to disturb Stefano's slumber.After our little action earlier we both were exhausted and needed sleep it didn't take us long before we were out. Especially Stefano, he was tired more than I, as he derived such a long distance without any break, whereas i did get to nap on our way here. Descending the stairs, I reach, what seems like the living room, and instan
Tiara's POVStop StopDon't TiaraDon't Urghhh!!!! Fuck it!!!I so badly want to bang someone's head. So badly.And that person is me. I want to bang my head on the wall.Why?Because I suggested to Stefano that we should visit a club.Well, I just wanted to get back on him, for teasing me and leaving me all hot and satisfied.Yesterday when he said, he is hungry and it was his time to eat.My heart thumped wildly, with excitement, but guess what I was left teased and unsatisfied. And it was the second time he did it, straight two times as if it was his way of punishing me. But he is cruel. He cants just tease, make me feel horny, and then he will just leave me wet and needy with just a smirk. Like yesterday, the handsome devil just smirked and went away with my ice cream. Leaving me heaving on the couch. And no that's why not I mad, i am mad because why, why do i always have to obey all his orders? Why do i just lose all control of my emotion, when he is in front of me? An
"Martha, can you please close the windows it's raining, heavily." Requesting our helper, I turned my attention to the sums of algebra, the reason I am at home, not in some gala with my family.But I am happy that I got a legit reason to not attempt those pretentious galas. I mean you pimp up yourself only for people to put their useless opinions and judgments on us as if they are perfect and not a single flaw has ever touched them. To be honest I am not one to judge people. I dont pass my opinions on girls who love makeup or invest more of their time in shopping and all. I mean we all have the right to do things that makes us happy, what I hate is girls trolling girls. Because in most cases I have seen women being the worst critics of women. Which I am completely against. Another gush of strong winds rattled the windows. The weather made me crave a cup of hot chocolate. But I am feeling lazier to go and make one. I can ask Martha but I am too fussy with my hot chocolates,
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
