The man behind it was none other than Alfie Nottingson. The blonde man walked inside the room and then closed it with a mischievous smile on his face.
“You are Alfie.” Levana stated with disbelief. She already had a gut feeling that someone she knew before would be the one behind it, but she didn’t think it would be the same guy who kidnapped her the first time and sold her at the auction. What a luck she had.
“Yes, yes, it’s me, Alfie. I am flattered you remember my name.” He sat at the chair in front of the vanity table and steep his fingers together.
“Why are you doing this? What is your intention?” She asked as she crossed her arms.
“Well, I saw that the bird I once captured had become a swan. The Osborne brothers seem to be completely smitten by you, so I want to know exactly why. Of course, the best way to know it i
"God uses rescued people to rescue people." -Christine Caine- *** Kilian arrived in front of Nottingson’s manor and he brought along at least thirty of his men in six different cars. When they arrived, they weren’t allowed to enter the manor, but Kilian was so pissed at this moment that he pulled out his gun and directed it at the guard. Others were pointing their gun on Kilian but since he had dozens of men on his side, he easily outnumbered the men guarding on the gates. One of his man even came in a whole tanker, as if he was ready to blow up the entire manor if they didn’t give him access inside. That was how pissed he was at this situation. “Call Alfie outside, he stole my woman.” He ordered. The guards at the front didn’t move, so Kilian decided to do a different move. “Check your phones.” He ordered the guard who were a bit confused, but then they pulled up their phones and saw videos of
"Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate." -John F. Kennedy- *** Morgan and Levana was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, making their order while waiting for the special guest. None of the brothers could accompany her that day so Roy and Rick were sent and this time, they were on full guard since what happened last time almost cost them their lives. A few moments later, a familiar red haired lady entered the room with one of her man servant, or whatever she called him following along behind her. When she arrived, the man pulled her chair for her once more and she thanked him briefly before sitting down. “Well, I didn’t think you would contact me so soon after our last interaction.” Alicia removed her coat and handed it over to the man who took it and remained standing. It was as if he wasn’t allowed to sit down to begin with. A waiter came and interru
"We are two strangers who know every shameful secret, every hidden freckle, every fatal flaw in each other." -Jodi Picoult- *** “Good morning, beautiful.” Levana woke up that day with a sweet sound. She opened her eyes and saw Kilian standing in her room with a bouquet of flower in his hand. Since the two of them had officially started dating, she always woke up to a bouquet of flower every day or other day. They usually got placed in her vanity, but it was the first time Kilian ever woke her up himself. “Kilian, why are you in my room?” She asked. “Well, it’s the weekend and I thought I would spend the whole day with you. We need to make up for the lost times, don’t we?” He sat on the bed and handed the flower over to her. “What is the plan for the day?” She asked him. “You will see.” She didn’t understand why he never wanted to tell her the plan whenever they were going out when
"If you hold yourself dear, protect yourself well." -Gautama Buddha- *** Levana already knew someone in Kilian’s caliber would most likely had exes, and she already knew since he had the looks, money and power, the women he surrounded himself with would surely be beautiful and high class as well. Katarina here was the proof. She was drop dead gorgeous and looked like she belonged in the cover of fashion magazine. Yet something about the woman’s presence and demeanor was rather unsettling. Levana couldn’t quite put it into words, but she didn’t feel comfortable around her. “Things are done between us. I don’t have anything to do with you anymore.” Kilian stated, making sure that everything was perfectly clear. “I don’t know why you are acting so cold toward me. I was just saying hi.” Katarina was visibly upset. Kilian had enough of this. “If you don’t leave right now I will call a third party an
"Moving on in a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard." -Dave Mustaine- *** “Hey handsome, do you want to get a drink and have fun with me?” A brunette bombshell with a thick Hispanic accent approached Maximus who was drinking by himself in a high end bar at the center of Ibiza. She slowly wrapped her fingers around his arm and started rubbing it while trying to stick her breasts in his view. When the woman approached him, he was a bit tipsy but he still had full control over his consciousness. He turned to stare at her with a look of absolute contempt and disgust. “Fuck off!” He told the woman, whose smile quickly disappeared and was replaced by a frown. She was one of the most popular escort in the place and for her to be rejected so quickly like that pissed her off. “Hmph!” She rose from her seat and quickly walked away, potentially trying to get another customer to drain for the night.
"You can be in the storm but don't let the storm get in you."-Joel Osteen-***“So, what did you come to me for?” Alfie sat down with a beautiful brunette in his arm while a blonde beauty was seated right across him.“I want you to help me out. Recently there is a woman who clung so closely to Kilian’s side. I hate her.” Katarina replied.“Hm, and why would you come to me for that? You can ask your daddy for help.” He replied as he took a sip of his champagne.“My father thinks I am crazy. He was the one who sent me abroad and forbade me from meeting Kilian. I can’t ask him for help. The only person I can turn to right now is you.” Katarina replied as she crossed her arms.“Katarina, my dear, you are an attractive woman, surely there are many men who would die for you out there. Why do you keep on pursuing Kilian?” He asked out of curios
"Ego and misunderstanding kills relationship."-Anonymous-***“I left because I knew exactly what they were doing and I would never let myself be treated like a fool.” Kilian responded before he grabbed her hand and dragged her back to the car.Once they were inside, he turned and looked at her.“If I stayed, I know you would be upset with me and misunderstood everything all over again. That’s why I rather left. I don’t need a mother or a sister who bear no respect for me. You alone is enough and I would choose you over them.” He admitted.Hearing that, Levana’s heart was beating so fast. She felt his commitment at the moment and hugged him.A few meters away from them, Katarina who walked out just to chase after Kilian saw the two of them hugging and she felt this burning anger inside of her heart.“Just watch, I will make the two of you suffer.”
"It's the same old story, all you think about is money."-Rafael Nadal-***“Why are you crying?” It was Maximus who just got back from one of his task and was going to take a smoke break. At that moment, she just realized that a drop of tear just fell from the corner of her eyes.“I’m fine.” She wiped away her tears and tried to compose herself.“No, you are clearly not fine. Now tell me, which bastard made you cry? I will teach that person a lesson.” Maximus clenched his fist.“Nothing, it’s just, Kilian’s ex girlfriend came here and created quite the scene.” Upon hearing this, Maximus’ brow was raised.“You mean Katarina, that crazy bitch is back? What did she do?” Maximus asked.“She kissed Kilian in front of me.” She didn’t need to explain anything else for Maximus to understand.“I g
"A marriage contract to me is as binding as any in business and I have always believed in sticking to an agreement." -Paul Getty- *** “If you can have both, why only choose one?” Her brothers’ words echoed in her mind. Such thought never crossed her mind before, but after meeting her brother earlier, those thought remained and she couldn’t get it out of her head. He had a point, both Maximus and Kilian were brothers and she was already close with both of them. She loved Kilian with all of her heart, but she couldn’t deny that Maximus’ feelings for her were equally as strong as his brother. What would happen if she proposed an idea of the three of them being together? With her as the center of the relationship and date both brothers at the same time? It has been a couple of days but she couldn’t get the thought out of her mind, so she decided to talk to Kilian about it. That evening, Levana, Kilian and Maximus were having dinner together like before and this time, Kilian discu
"The axe forgets but the tree remembers."-African Proverb-***The news of Alfie’s death had reached Katarina’s ears and she was filled with so much fear on the inside. She knew Kilian loved that woman so much, which was the reason why she despised her and asked Alfie’s help to get rid of her.However, she never thought Kilian would find out about it and ended up killing Alfie. In her eyes, Alfie appeared to be an invincible figure, completely untouched since Kilian had an important business relation with him. So were the people in their circle.Kilian had always been a composed man, someone who thought rationally, so she thought there was no way he would do something like this that would strain the relationship between him and many other parties and allies he had.But she was wrong. Because of what they did, Kilian officially went insane and killed Alfie. She knew she was the target next.
"There are no bad ideas, just bad decisions."-Jacob Cass-***“As expected, Alfie didn’t come up with that plan on his own, someone else was conspiring with him on it.” Jerome told Kilian.“Who exactly is this person?” He asked.“It’s Katarina.” The man replied a little hesitantly. Knowing the backstory between these two people, he already had an idea of what Kilian would do next.“Get rid of her.” He gave the order and Jerome froze for one second.“Sir, I think you may want to reconsider it, Katarina is,”“I know exactly who she is but I have given her a warning. I will deal with her father later. That woman has been quite troublesome for the past few years, I gave her so many chance to live in peace. If she only bothered me, I would have let her live.” He paused for a few seconds before continuing.“But
"The love we give away is the only love we keep."-Elbert Hubbard-***The prince had received the news that someone had asked for a meeting for him the previous night and it was from an English man who called himself Kilian Osborne.Since the prince didn’t have any idea who he was, he had his men run a background check on the Osborne guy to find out that he was a businessman in England and his purpose there was to talk about business.At least that’s what he believed.He arranged a meeting between the two of them that evening after he was done with the other work. When Kilian was invited inside, he saw the prince and was asked to sit down.They were discussing business but the truth was, it’s just a distraction.Levana was walking on the hallway when she heard that the prince had another guest from England, but on her way there, she accidentally bumped into a man.“I&rsq
"Love is not finding someone to live with, it's finding someone you can't live without."-Rafael Ortiz-***It has been almost two weeks since Levana was gone from his life and Kilian was starting to become agitated.He was usually a composed man, someone who didn’t care much about many things and was highly logical. He always moved with prediction and didn’t really let emotions control him.However, this time, things were quite different. He was starting to lose sleep over thinking about her.He had sent his men to find her in every corner of England and had tried to find her through his connections throughout Europe, yet there were still no results at all and it was driving him crazy.Maximus on the other hand took this pain to a while different level, he started drinking excessively and became even more barbaric.Each time Kilian sent him to get rid of their enemies, he did so brutally a
"There is no love like the love for a brother. There is no love like the love from a brother."-Astrid Alauda-***“Your majesty, please excuse me.”She also excused herself a few minutes after and although Hamza didn’t really want her to leave his sight at this moment, he allowed her and Levana rose and followed the direction where Edmund was at.Instead of finding him near the bathroom, she found him on the hallway instead and she decided to approach him.“Excuse me, I need to confirm something with you.” The man was a bit startled by her presence there and paid full attention.“You are one of the prince’s woman, aren’t you? How can I help you?” He asked.“Do you know a man named Livio La Rosa?” She asked. Upon hearing the name, the man froze and he paused for a few seconds before he asked her.“How do you know that name?&
"You live, you learn and you upgrade."-Anonymous-***Instead of walking to her usual chamber, she was brought to the second floor of the harem where supposedly, all of the prince’s favorite concubines and women resided.The eunuch led her to one of the room in the middle where she had the perfect view of the entire harem from above and stopped in front of the door.“The prince has given his order.From now on, you will reside in this chamber. It’s entirely yours.”The eunuch opened the door and she saw a large chamber with a king sized bed in the middle, covered in silk bedding, the ceiling was also higher than her previous room with middle eastern styled carving on the ceilings.The floor was made from marble and she could see various lavish decorations adorning the room.“His majesty Prince Hamza has given this room for you. It’s yours now.” The eunu
"Extinction is the rule, survival is the exception."-Carl Sagan-***The prince and Levana ended up spending the entire night talking and eating sweets.Even though in the beginning, Hamza had the desire to bed her that evening, he thought that it was a bit too early and decided to take it a bit easy since she just arrived in there.Over the next few days, the prince summoned her to his chamber and it caught the attention of many people in there.A lot of the women in the harem thought that it was a bit weird since the prince had never done anything quite like this before.“That woman must be doing some kind of witchcraft toward him, otherwise, how could he summon her for a few days a row?” One of the woman of the harem whispered.“You’re right, that woman is a disaster for our land and nation. She must be seducing the prince. He has forgotten about the rest of us ever since th
"You deserve to be chosen undoubtedly over and over again not merely considered."-Jenny Winbladh-***After she gathered back on the main area where the other women were at, she was asked to sit in one of the available cushion there.Most of the women were seated on the floor with cushion underneath them and they all had their eyes on Levana.Perhaps because she had a feature they weren’t quite familiar with. Some of the women looked at her with the look of admiration, while others looked at her with the look of envy.After everything she had been through, those stares really meant nothing. She just brushed them off and moved on. Around an hour later, the eunuch from earlier entered the room again and clapped his hand.“Prince Hamza is back, get ready in line and wait for his arrival.”Upon hearing this, all of the women rose from their seat with excited look on their face, the quick
