Tangled Desires Chapter 9
Hating someone's flaws can be the first step towards understanding and eventually loving their complexities. -Unknown.|A L E E Z A|Dressed in a crisp white t-shirt that highlighted his muscular frame, accentuated by a black leather jacket draped casually over his shoulders. His black jeans clung to his legs, as he stood there, ahead of us with cross legs. This man, right here, had an undeniable rugged charm, with his disheveled dark hair that seemed tk defy gravity. His piercing gaze exuded an air of ignorance, his disregard towards the world. "What are you doing here?" The man beside me, Lev, questioned the man who is the center of my sight right now. "Just thought of having brunch together." The man with chocolate eyes, answered, his voice comparatively softer than the ignorant one he used with me last night. He kept his whole focus on the man with me, his eyes not wavering even once. There was not even a hint of recognition in his

He was everything I despised, but, he also became everything I could not resist. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|After the whole day, I returned back to my luxurious apartment, the lonely luxurious apartment. The bustling streets outside seemed alien, and the empty rooms echoed with the solitude I had chosen. I missed my family, their warmth, their laughter. Most of all, I missed my brothers. I don't think there would be a day where I won't miss them. I settled onto the couch unable to shake away the feeling of loneliness that washed over me. The apartment, though cozy, felt strangely empty without the comforting presence of my family.I checked the time in my phone amd realised that Elena, my niece, must be sleeping right now. So, it would not be the best time to call my eldest brother, hence, I decided to call, Lorenzo, my second eldest brother. The phone ringed twice before he picked it up, his voice laced with concern even before I uttere

Beware the devil in a man's disguise, for he'll lead you to the darkest of surprises. -Unknown.|K I R I L L|The forest lay before me, a vast sea of towering trees that reached towards a moon shrouded in wisps of cloud. The sound of dried lips churned under my feets with each step taken forward by me. Keeping the mask on, I continued my steps towards my destination. The moon, a mere sliver in the obsidian sky, cast its pale light upon the gnarled trees that stood sentinel in the darkness. My footsteps were measured, each one taken with purpose and unwavering resolve. Fear was a foreign concept to a man of my background, a world where danger lurked around every corner. I moved with the quiet confidence of one who had faced far greater threats than the enigmatic woods that surrounded me. The tangled underbrush reached out like ghostly fingers, but I pushed through, undeterred. Each rustling leaf and distant hoot of an owl were mere distractions, background noise in the grand symphon

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse themselves with. -Paulo Coelho.|A L E E Z A|Other people's days might turn bad, but my life is going awry. I have no idea how I consistently manage to immerse myself in the worst of troubles. It's like an unwanted talent that I possess, and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get rid of it."Are you okay now?" Lev asked me, and if someone were to see the concern on his face, they might think I was on my deathbed."I'll survive," I replied with a playful smile.No matter how many problems life throws at me, I can never forget this person standing in front of me, with so much worry in his eyes.Tonight, Lev came to my apartment again with dinner. He mentioned that he doesn't like having dinner alone, and his older brother, who is egoistic and arrogant but somehow a good broth

She walked into the future, blissfully unaware of the storm that was brewing on the horizon. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|The morning Kirill walked through my door, I knew I was in for a week of pure torture.As he arrived at my doorstep, I couldn't help but notice how different he looked from his younger brother. Where Lev was warm and easygoing, he exuded an aura of reserved confidence. He had the same striking dark hair, but his chocolate brown eyes held a perpetual glint of indifference.When I opened the door of my apartment, he walked straight inside like he own my fucking house, not wasting any time with pleasantries."Hello to you too," I gritted through clenched teeth, my voice laced with sarcasm while barely concealing my irritation. Stuffing his hand inside the pocket of his jeans, he surveyed my apartment with a critical eye, which made me hyper aware of the way I live. Things are messy. The boxes of pizza are lying on the couch

I'm not a possession to be handled, I'm a person with my own boundaries. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|I quickly slipped on my sneakers and tiptoed forward. Once I ventured outside, I closed the door quietly and began trailing him.Kirill was completely clad in dark attire. In his hand, there was an object that caught my attention. But before I could discern what it was, he suddenly halted. My breath seemed to escape me, and I felt as though I was in the presence of a creature rather than a human, and if I caught his gaze, he'd do away with me. Before he turned to look at me, I hid behind a tree, holding my breath.I placed my hand on my chest, waiting for what felt like an eternity. My heart raced with the intensity of a thousand drums. After a few anxious minutes, when the sound of his advancing steps reached my ears, I dared to peek out. I had silently applauded myself and stealthily shadowed his every step.I couldn't fathom where he wa

Her complexity challenges my patience, but I choose to persist. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|The searing anger pulsing through my veins threatened to consume me whole. Her words lingered in the air like a haunting melody, her defiance echoing in the dense silence of the forest. My jaw clenched as I fought to rein in the tempest raging within me. How dare she challenge me, question my authority in my own realm?My gaze bore into hers, searching for any sign of fear or submission. Instead, all I found was a fiery determination, a spirit refusing to be broken. A flicker of admiration pierced through the haze of fury, an unexpected ember of respect for her unyielding spirit. But I couldn't afford to let it sway me. Not now. Not ever.I glared at her, the anger still burned within me like an unquenchable fire.The audacity of this girl, to follow me into the heart of the unknown, was beyond comprehension.Her defiance had awakened something prim

Fear may linger in the unknown, but so does the potential for endless possibilities. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|Life is so unpredictable; one moment, you're peacefully sleeping, and the next, you're thrust into the adventure of a lifetime. Just like now,I had confidently told Kirill that I would find my own way, and here I am, shouting for help, hoping against hope that he hasn't gone too far and will come back. Because as much as his anger, no matter how profound, is better than my current situation.And I have no idea who dug this pit in such a deserted jungle. What did they intend by digging it? In the pit where I've fallen, all I can do is hope that no wild animal passes by, or else they'll have a ready-made meal served on a plate. In the middle of the night, I don't think anyone other than wild animals will be around here."Someone help!" I screamed again, the darkness around me only intensifying my unease.Due to the plaster on my

I dreamt of it. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|I slipped into the peach-colored bridesmaid dress, feeling its soft fabric cascade down my body. The slit on my right leg added a touch of elegance, while my hair, tied up in a loose bun with a few locks framing my face, completed the look. I applied a swipe of lipstick, then turned to see Kirill, my boyfriend, dressed in his tuxedo, looking as handsome as ever.As he approached me, circling one arm around my waist, I couldn't help but smile up at him. Adjusting his tie, I felt his hand cup my cheek, his thumb caressing it gently. Leaning in, he cupped my jaw, and our lips met in a tender kiss. Despite the months that had passed since I was shot, I could still see the fear in Kirill's eyes, the fear of losing me.To dispel that fear, I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. I was unashamedly addicted to this man; he was my everything, filling every corner of my heart and soul. Breakin

In the end, the togetherness is all that matters. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|As I paced back and forth in front of the operation theater, my heart felt like it was caught in a vice grip, each beat echoing in my ears like a relentless drumbeat of dread. All I wanted was to hear the doctor come out and tell me that she was completely fine, that she was okay, that she was safe. But as I glanced down at my hands, still stained with her blood, the reality of the situation hit me like a sledgehammer to the chest.I saw the way she had slowly closed her eyes, surrendering herself to the darkness, and my chest tightened with a pain so sharp it felt like I was being stabbed with a thousand knives. But she must not know me well enough if she thinks I would ever let her go so easily. No, I would fight tooth and nail to keep her with me, to bring her back from the brink of death and into the light once more.As I glanced around at the worried faces o
Tangled Desires Chapter 75
Is it the end or the beginning? -Unknown. |K I R I L L|My pulse raced as the tension thickened in the room, suffocating us in its grip. "Shoot him, Aleeza," Nicolas's voice cut through the silence like a knife, commanding her to take action, but her hesitation spoke volumes, a silent protest against the violence that threatened to consume us all.I watched in disbelief as her fingers trembled on the trigger, the weight of her decision bearing down on her like a heavy burden. Lorenzo's arrival only added to the chaos, his voice a jarring intrusion in the tense standoff."What the fuck is happening here?" Lorenzo's words echoed in the room, his eyes scanning the scene with a mixture of confusion and concern."Stay back, Lorenzo," Nicolas's response was swift and dismissive, his tone laced with authority.Lorenzo's plea for reason fell on deaf ears as Nicolas's resolve hardened. But her trembling hand betrayed her fear, a silent plea

But if the story is over, why am I still writing the pages. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|As the echoes of gunfire reverberated through the mansion, I wasted no time in arming myself, reaching for my gun tucked away in the wardrobe. It felt familiar in my grip, a cold weight that offered both comfort and reassurance in the face of danger.I spared a fleeting thought for Lev, grateful that I had sent him back to college when news of the impending war reached our ears. He may have grown up in this world of violence and bloodshed, but he had not been groomed for it like I had. It was a relief to know that he was safe, far away from the chaos that threatened to engulf us.With my weapon in hand, I rushed towards my father's room, my heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread. I knew what awaited me on the other side of that door, and yet I pushed aside any doubts or fears that threatened to cloud my mind.As I entered the room, I found

He can never go unseen in a world where I exist, because, he is all I see. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|As I paced back and forth in the dimly lit study room, my mind buzzed with thoughts of the impending war. The tension in the air was palpable, weighing heavy on my shoulders like a burden too heavy to bear alone. The news of the Russians' brazen attack on Lorenzo's warehouses and the theft of a rare piece from Nicolas had sent shockwaves through our family, igniting the flames of conflict that threatened to consume us all.Viktor Volkov's name hung in the air like a dark cloud, his reputation preceding him as a force to be reckoned with. The Russians were moving with the speed of light, leaving destruction and chaos in their wake. And yet, despite the looming threat, I couldn't bring myself to ask my brothers to show mercy or to slow down their plans. The war was not just between two gangs; it was a battle that involved hundreds, even thousa

Everything is fair between love and war. But what if the war happens for love itself? -Unknown. |K I R I L L|The days dragged on in a blur of solitude and emptiness. I hadn't spoken to my father since returning from Italy, my heart heavy with the weight of farewell unspoken. And Nikolay... Nikolay, once a trusted friend, now a betrayer who had shattered the fragile trust between us. The knowledge that he had revealed my feelings for Aleeza, leading to her abduction, weighed heavily on my soul.I missed her desperately – her warmth, her scent, her smile, every little detail that made her who she was. But more than that, I missed the possibility of a future with her, a life where we could be together without the shadow of our families' rivalry looming over us.I sat alone in my room, the glow of the laptop screen illuminating the darkness that had settled within me. Every attempt to devise a plan to reunite with Aleeza ended in defeat, eac

The pain of this separation, who else can truly fathom? Only one whose heart has burned with the flames of agony can comprehend the anguish within. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the room. As I stirred awake, I reached out instinctively to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty and cold. Panic surged through me, and I sat up abruptly, scanning the room for any sign of him. Desperation fueled my actions as I checked the bathroom and every corner of the room, but he was nowhere to be found.The realization hit me like a wave, crashing against the shores of my heart. He had left. The emptiness in the room mirrored the void that now consumed me. I refused to believe it, clinging to the hope that maybe he was just in another room or perhaps getting breakfast. But deep down, I knew.My eyes fell upon a paper, neatly tucked under the paperweight on my side table. Hastily,

It was not supposed to end like this. It was supposed to be a beginning of our story. -Unknown. |K I R I L L|The room seemed to constrict around me as I took in the sight of her bandaged arm – an inadvertent canvas of her silent suffering. Each wound, a stark reminder of the pain she had chosen to bear. My gaze lingered, tracing the contours of her hurt etched into her delicate skin.As she recoiled from my touch, an impenetrable distance yawned between us. Her words, a heavy verdict, hung in the air, condemning me for the betrayal she believed I'd committed. The truth, fragile and earnest, seemed elusive, slipping through my grasp like sand through fingers.Desperation clawed at my throat as I sought to bridge the emotional chasm. Her guarded skepticism stood as an impenetrable fortress, and the question that hung between us – "What if you're lying again?" – echoed the haunting specter of doubt.My plea, a trembling admission of wi

And, between all the misunderstandings the line between the truth and the lies blurred. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|The breakfast table served as a stage for our daily performance of familial normalcy. I draped myself in a full-sleeved top, a feeble attempt to conceal the secret beneath.I sensed Lorenzo's watchful gaze. "Full sleeves in this weather?" he queried. A forced smile played on my lips as I replied, "Just felt like wearing it."An unspoken agreement lingered in the air, urging everyone to avoid delving deeper into the complexities veiled by my seemingly mundane choice.Yet, for me, each day was an unspoken battle. The small cut that marked the beginning had evolved into a clandestine ritual—a silent plea for respite from the storm within. I had a cut on my wrist for every night, when I begged to sleep without pain and requested the almighty above to help me, to save me. But when nothing helped me, I helped myself in The way tha
