Sierra opened her mouth to tell Celina the truth. the reason they hated Stefano but before she can utter a single word, Jaxon shouting grabbed both of their attention. They both turned back to see Jaxon and Luciano in a heated argument, while Jaoxon's face was red in anger, Luciano was holding himself but the way he was grinding his jaw together, it was clear that any minute he will lose his cool. And that was not a good sign for both of them. Sierra and Celina looked at each other both in confusion and we're worried, without wasting a second they both stood and ran towards them. "You lied to us, why didn't you tell us?" They heard Jaxon questioning as they reached them. "What happened?" A very confused Celina looks towards her uncle for answers, but Luciano just shakes his head, a sign that he is not talking about it. "Tell her, tell her Luciano. She deserves to know." Celina once again looks at her uncle while Sierra stood silently, trying to understand what all the fuss is ab
I will protect you. You didn't. You failed to keep your promise. Look at me Stefano, I am here being inflicted with pain, again and again, I am screaming your name but you are nowhere to protect me. I am dying Stefano. Please save me. Please save me. Tiara...... As the name left my lips, I woke with a gasp. I took breath after breath as if I haven't breathed for a while. When my lungs were filled with the desired amount of oxygen, I opened my eyes and looked around me. I was in a hospital bed but I am not in a hospital. There are needles attached to my wrists and a huge bandage on my chest. For once everything around me confused me, and hence I closed my eyes to look for my memories and like a gust of wind, everything came crashing down Jaxon. He shot me. There was a girl with him, I didn't see her face but there was someone with him. Tiara. Where is she? That was the first question that came to my head. I tried standing on my legs but a serious pain surged t
Tiara!!! After what Luciano told me, I wasted no time shouting for Burrock and asked him to take me to the Valentino mansion. Burrock was hesitant and looked towards my brother for command, who with his eyes was telling him to deny my orders. But one loud call of his name and Burrock knew who was the boss there and hence he wasted no time bringing me to my mansion. After reaching my home, I ignored the slight pain in my chest and pushed the doors, and started screaming for Tiara. Luciano is right, that my emotions overpowered my logic while I was with Tiara, I let my guard down. And I said the price and hence now I will use my brain, rather than letting people tell me to go which way. Being my brother Luciano should have known that I don't believe him, not in the slightest. And I won't believe him until I see it with my own eyes. Tiara!!!! I shouted again. And started to match towards the stairs. "Uncle Stefano." I looked to my right from where the sound came from.
Dark everything is dark around me. I am running, running into an abyss, as my eyes see nothing. I try to open my eyes as wide as I could but every time I tried, I failed. As if something heavy is stopping my eyes from opening. I scream, but my screams don't even reach my ears how would they reach someone? I feel cold, wherever I am. Everything is eerie quiet around me and this crispiness in the air is chilling me to the bones. The silence is eating me up, as it is quite contradicting to the storm in my head. I scream again. Help!!! Help!!!! Help!!!! Once again I went awry, as no sound reaches my ear. The silence prevails. I never felt fear like this in my life. The silence was my home, something I used to find answers to, it was my comfort. But the silence that is surrounding me right now, is bringing no peace to me, if anything, it is ruining the last speck of peace that I had. I am tired, I ran too much and reached nowhere. Hence I stop after a point, I
Run Tiara!!! The girl who looked at me screamed looking towards me. "Please save us." She pleaded her eyes red as years streamed down her face unstoppable. I wanted to help her or as she said, but I don't know what to do. The monster was coming closer to me. And I was trying to back away, I wanted to run but I couldn't as if someone just froze my body, I was unable to move any of my limps. I lost control of my own body. I was neither able to cry was not able to breathe, I was left with nothing, no power no hope. And the monster was closing in on me. And then I felt, I felt his hands they were on my body, he was touching me. Everywhere he touched, it del like that place burned, and what was left was an ugly scar, I cried. Screamed!!!! Please!!!!!! But he kept romancing his hands on me. I don't know what's happening to me, what did I do to deserve this, I know nothing except the pain that I am feeling all over my body, the feeling of someone cutting the flesh
"Doctor" Stefano yelled running to the door, his heart was thudding with a speed that was frightening him. "S... Stefano." Tiara groaned looking at the man, who was the reason she was able to fight her demons. If not for him she would have accepted the darkness and would have chosen to lose herself, to end all her suffering. Tiara's voice was low very low but it was loud for Stefano to hear, he ran straight back to her, took her extended hand in his, and whispered, "I am here baby." he kissed her forehead and then once again looked at the door and yelled for a doctor. Tiara's eyes were fixed on Stefano, while he was screaming for a doctor, she was looking at him without batting an eye as if she was recalling his features, to make sure that she didn't forget one. The same eyes, she always wanted to drown in, the same jaw, she liked to roam her hands on, and his nose pointed just like his words, there was a smile on her face as she looks at him, then her eyes notices some
Luciano walked me back to the medical room, and I gasped seeing how it looked nothing like I left it minutes ago. The whole room was trashed, the bed everything was thrown away. I looked around the room with shocked and won't eyes. "What..t." I couldn't form a sentence. What I wanted to ask was, what happened here the words won't just come out of my mouth. "See that's what I was warning you about," Luciano spoke from beside me, my eyes moved to him, who returned my gaze as if saying that's what I was talking about, with one of his eyebrows raised. "Fucking find her or I will kill all of you!!!" a thundering voice sounded from down the hallway, and no one need to tell me, to whom does it belong. Both I and Luciano followed the voice and reached down the stairs, if the room looked worse then the leaving room looked as if a war just ended there. The plasma TV, vases everything was on the floor. Stefan is standing in front of me with his back facing me, and in front of me st
Two days have passed and I am feeling a lot better. My body seems to be healing quite quickly. Stefan looks after me as if I am a baby. He makes sure that I eat all my meals, consisting of everything healthy, as he believes I lost too much weight and it's not healthy. I wanted to let him the reason for it was that I was starved. But knowing his anger, till now I haven't talked a lot about my abduction. It's not like he never brought up the topic but I ignore it every time. More than that I am grateful that Stefano never pushes me for answers. Until now, he is a lot patient with me. His bandage has been removed, and his wounds almost healed and are drying hence the doctor said that there is no need for bandages. But the thing that is not sitting well with him is that he is forbidden to use the gym. No heavy lifting nothing. He is only allowed to walk or run that's it. He is not to put much pressure on his chest. And the doctor is lucky that to some extent Stefano is following
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
