She hadn't exchanged a word since last night. She sat next to him as usual at the dining table. She couldn't dare to look at him. Her family was sitting next to Kairo. Nicholas darted his gaze on all faces. He cleared his throat and all heads turned to him, "Danil is married." He looked at them. Isha smiled shyly and lowered her head. Selena giggled, "Yes, It was yesterday, grandpa." "Yes, sweetie. But there's one more upcoming wedding." Nicholas's gaze turned to Kairo. "Your father..." Olivia started. "I know it, mom. Brother has my answer too." Kairo said, lifting the cup to his chin. "One more wedding. Will I get a new suit too?" Cody asked excitedly. "Of course," Kairo replied without giving any expression. "Who's the girl?" She voiced her thoughts. "I don't know," Kairo shrugged his shoulders. He placed the cup down without drinking it. "We are leaving for Detroit after a week," Nicholas said before
She had visited the places her husband chose, some were regular, some were new but they were five stars, for rich people. She wasn't born rich. It didn't attract her. She parked the car when she found the parking, which seemed ages to her. She opened the dashboard. There were guns. She stared at them before shutting it. She got out of the car. Locking it, she drew into a breath. She drifted her eyes around at the crowd. Her smile was real and big. It would get cool when the sun went down. But she wasn't bothered, "Park," She muttered happily, lazily wandering around. A smile lit her face as she glanced around all the faces. The kids were playing around. The sun was up and shining, pushing the cold away. She sat on the bench, just staring at the people around her. Her gaze landed on ice cream. Her feet carried her over to the shop but then she realized she wasn't carrying cash with her. She was so disappointed. Soon
She woke up in the middle of the night. Her eyes searched for him around. The lamp was on and she couldn't see him or any sign of him. She kept looking around with her sleepy eyes. She pushed herself out of the warmth of the duvet. She was the queen of peace and he was the king of Evil. There was no match. Still, they were like body and soul. Her heart was beating so hard she thought it might jump right up her throat. Walking over to the door, she gripped the doorknob and twisted it. She didn't want him to find out but deep down in her head, she knew, he would know. That scared the hell out of her pants. Her eyes met the questioning gaze of Travis. He was on his feet, extending his strides at the door. There were four more guards. She was watching them for the first time. She felt the need to have her gun. "Liam," Her voice was groggy. "In the office, ma'am," Travis said. With a slight nod, She paced out of the room.
The next morning, she put on jeans and a blue cardigan. Her hair was tugged up in a messy bun. She wasn't wearing a speck of makeup. Travis was walking along her like her shadow. She didn't see her husband after waking up. She was hoping to see him in the dining hall. She found him seated on his usual chair. He was wearing a blue designer suit. 'Wao' She just stared at him. She shook her head, 'No, he captured me in the room.' She walked over to the floor. Instead of sitting at her usual place, she sat in the empty chair, far from his. It went dead silent, she could feel the tension in the air. All big eyes were on her. She kept her gaze on the table. "Isha, take the kids with you. Stay with them." Danil said. No one argued and they hurried out of the hall. She could see their steps fading. She looked at her husband through the corners of her eyes. His eyebrows were pulled together in anger. The hair stands up
The flight landed early in the morning reaching Detroit. Cody and Selena were excited. But she could also feel the tension in the air. She ran her fingers on the necklace, the blood rubies, and the diamonds. "Thanks, it's beautiful. But I told you not to buy it." She said to him, turning on her heels. "I made words to you." He said, striding toward her. He hugged her from behind, his arms were soft around her stomach. She felt the slight change in the air, "I won't try to break in your security." She covered his large hand with her small one. "That's not my concern." He admitted. Sniveling her neck, she peered at him, "Then?" She asked. "Sit," He motioned at the mattress. Taking steps away from him, she sat down, keeping her gaze on him. He lifted his hand clenching the gun, with a holster. She bared her thigh as realized it. A smile tugged on his lips. He bent over. His warm hand slid around her thigh. His touch was so
She could pay no heed as they strolled toward the double door of the hall where the ring ceremony was going to be held. Noises, murmuring, laughs, and giggles reached her when they stepped in. She darted her eyes at unfamiliar faces. They were looking at them with curious eyes. Nervously, she moved closer to her husband. She smiled when she looked at her family. Danil trotted over to the floor and curled his arm around his wife. He muttered something that made Isha giggle. She hid it behind her hand. Liam kept his face stoic, "It's Kairo's wedding. Can't you smile?" She asked him under her breath. His intense gaze turned to her, "It's Kairo who should be smiling." He muttered back. She found Kairo beside his parents and Vincent and some cruel faces which made her want to run away back to the room. There was no expression on his face, "I don't know what to say," She shivered when she felt one of the cruel-faced looking at her.
A smile was glued to her face. She couldn't stop contemplating about him, his behavior which wasn't making sense to her. "How did you meet Liam?" Ariana asked. Hesitantly and fearfully. 'I want her to tell me the truth. So, I could help her. I'll call my brother. He won't question me.' It took her seconds to seep her words. Her cheeks turned pink when she recalled the time she saw him in the club, his emerald green eyes - next day. "Oh! That was truly amazing. They met in the club." Isha excitedly replied. She blushed harder as she cast her head lower when she was recalling that day. "Really! Then?" Ariana asked with big eyes. She couldn't keep the curiosity to herself. "Liam came to meet her daily and he planned dinner for her, shop for her. That's all, I know," Her excitement turned into sadness as she glanced at her as demanding something but couldn't ask, "Liam warned me and Ana that we couldn't ask her any details. Don't
She was glammed up in a lemon green tulle dress with a deep v-shape back, the bodice was embroidery with platinum thread and diamonds. Her hair was straight and the ends were coiled. She blinked her long lashes as she sat on the couch. She was planning to be barefoot again. "Mom, I have a gift for you," Cody rushed in, grasping a white box in his hands. He was wearing a dark grey suit with a bow. Her lips curled up, "You're looking handsome." He chuckled, "Grandma and aunt said so too." He slid the box on the table and looked up at her with a teeth-showing grin. She leaned in and kissed his head, softly touching his cheek. He held her hand in his hands, "Selena said, I look cute, girls are gonna kiss me." He pouted his lips sadly. She chuckled loudly, "But I'm your mother, you're far from that age and your grandma and Aunt love you," She took his small hands between her hands. "I love them too. I love you and dad the most. You took me
Her eyes were on them, smiling. He couldn't take his eyes off of him. A trace of a smile on his lips widened when their boy moved his fisted hands in the air, wailing in his hands. His face was red. 'I wanted him to have his father's eyes. I didn't tell anyone, didn't even call it in my mind as I'm always an open book to my husband. Thankfully, Leon got his father's eyes. Emerald green.' Her nervousness was all on the edge. She wanted everything to be perfect. The weather wasn't of her liking but her husband provided her with everything she needed, she demanded. She still wasn't in favor of Leon becoming capo but his destiny was written when his father was Liam Rodriguez. Leon was screaming his lungs out, kicking, fisting. Liam wasn't looking bothered with it. His smile didn't waver while looking at his son. "Give him to me, Liam." Olivia extended her arms to hold Leon. Liam peered down at him. Kissing his head tenderly, he placed h
He pocketed his phone. His expression was impassive, but his emerald eyes were cold. Danny's steps were long and fast toward him, he swiped the back of his hand on his forehead, "Boss, Paul is waiting for you with him. Mel's information was correct. In these last days, he has convinced his wife that Cody is no more," Danny hesitated, speaking the last word. "Get in the car, " He said. He was still contemplating.... should he tell his mother about her son? Would Rose allow him to go to his home? He knew the answer. It was a difficult decision for him, "Tell Vanessa to bring her," Danny looked at him, "But ma'am, boss?" He gulped. He was sweating in this cold weather and soon there would be snowfall. "Do as you're told to," He turned the key, circling his hand on the steering wheel, driving toward the dungeon. His steps weren't making noises as he walked over the concrete floor. His posture was menacing, gaze piercing. His
Her smile was from ear to ear reaching her eyes. She walked out of the elevator. 'Finally, Isha told everyone about her pregnancy.' Her hand was rubbing softly on her stomach. She was a little disappointed that Liam wasn't in the hall. But she did not need to ask where he would be at this time of the day. She remembered him, sliding out of the comforter next to her. But her lips tightened not to find Ana in the hall. She comprehended that she was trying to ignore Kairo and didn't want to encounter his wife. But it was getting too much now. She slapped the door of her room. Her brows pulled together when she found the room empty, "Ana," She softly spoke, darting her gaze around. She checked in the washroom. She wasn't in her room. She paced out and her feet halted hearing the soft voice of crying. She looked confused. Not wanting to startle whoever was in the hall, she slowly sauntered forward. "Please, don't go. You just came and y
LIAM His stomach was in knots driving back to his wife. He hated to feel helpless but only his wife carried this power over him. He made sure to provide a safe environment for her before leaving. Still, tension couldn't leave his body until he saw her. They were back home. Olivia and Lily were surrounding her. He had his differences with Lily but it had nothing to do with Rose. He kept his distance from Lily. "No, I'm full. I can't eat more momma," She told Lily, pushing the plate away. Olivia smiled softly, looking at Rose with motherly affection in her eyes. They always wanted a daughter. Rose was the first girl coming into the family, so innocent, pure soul. It did not take her much to win their hearts. He pushed his constructed body away from the door. Mel and Vanessa were outside the door, back straight, wearing their black suits today. "Don't leave her side," He told them. Though, there wasn't any need to worry. "We won
She was staring at the sea with a frown, her eyes swollen. She wanted to be alone and Mel was packing her things. Whatever she saw in the morning, it disturbed the peace of her mind. Though, she trusted her husband blindly. She had faced it before, hatred of other girls for her because they wanted to replace her. "It's a lovely day," She was startled with a sudden tone. Sniveling her neck, she stared at her with a frown, "It's a private beach." Her tone was a little harsh. "I came with Leon." She said with a smile, "I'm Zara, by the way." "Leave," She said, ignoring her, not wanting anyone around her. "Carlos and Angela look great together," She muttered. She fisted her hands in anger. She felt her doing this intentionally, "Tell dear Carlos," She tried to suppress her anger from her tone. "Oh, come on, don't be a boring pregnant woman," Zara sat on the lounge chair, facing her, grinning ear to ear, "They met in the n
LIAM He watched her, his eyes hard and cruel but also soft but only for her. He hadn't talked so openly to her before. This time, tears in her eyes were demanding it, through her silence was the most disturbing thing in his life. He couldn't ignore the shiver up her spine watching her with Aitana's arms wrapped around him. He was full of darkness and danger. When he strode through the hall, he was disappointed to not see Aitana, he wanted to strangle her, and put the all bullets in her stupid head. "I'm glad you didn't strangle his sister," Kazimir said when he reached the car. "I won't spare her life next time." His crude voice was holding promise. "I'll talk to Vincent," Kazimir said. He clenched his hands into fists at his sides, "I don't care. I'll kill her." his jaw tightened. He got in the passenger seat. He motioned him to start the car. Kazimir shook his head. The car revived, and he drove on the gravel road, surrounded by tall t
ROSELYN She woke up with a glint of happiness in her eyes, the corners of her lips curled up, finding her husband next to her. His one arm was wrapped around her hips, his face buried in the crook of her neck. She stayed still, knowing the consequences of startling a sleeping lion. A grin quickly slid across his firm lips as he saw her already looking at him. Tucking her hair, he pressed his lips on her cheek, "Buenos días. Good morning, babe." His thumb slid on her soft cheek. She giggled, "I like whatever you said, good morning." "Did you enjoy your day?" He asked, lifting himself on his elbow. "Yes, like a free bird." She smiled warmly, "Did you get him? The man who was attacking and wanted to hurt Ria," He inclined in, his nose touching her, "I want you to enjoy, babe. I'll catch him." He let out a slow breath. His hot breath tingled the tiny hair of her face, "There are two teenage girls. They need our help. One of them is Vince
The silence felt odd without the loud music but it was a relief to him. Her hands wouldn't be on his shoulder anymore. The driver opened the back door at their sight, "Some people are looking for her, Sir." He whispered to him. He shoved her in the backseat and shut the door with a bang. He reached for his gun and turned swiftly, pulling the trigger twice, shooting them in the head. "Shit! I was going to knock them out," Caspian slid his hand through his dark hair, Zara was about to scream seeing two dead bodies at her feet. Vanessa clapped her hand on her mouth, shutting her voice. "See you, brother," Kazimir said, striding away with Vanessa who was hauling the struggling girl with her. "Carlos, sit with me. I want your help." The empty bottle rolled down on the seat next to her. He motioned at the driver, and his jaw twitched. Caspian frowned at the back seat as she was trying to lick the last drop from the bottle. He muttered
LIAM "Isn't this watch so expensive for a college student?" Kazimir frowned at Caspian. "It belongs to my father. I want to die with it on my wrist," Caspian said, his lips in a straight line. The watch was still in a new condition and very expensive. "We're going to kill, not die, Capo." Kazimir rolled his eyes. "Why the heck you didn't step out to be that f*cking charming lover?" He snorted, glaring at him. "I'm addicted to only one girl right now." A dark smirk played on his face, "Liam is already booked. So, it's you, Capo." "Stop saying that word out loud. We're going to s**thole. There are many ears to hear you." He grabbed his gun and shoved it in the waistband of his jeans. A soft smile crawled on his face, staring down at the display. He ran his thumb on the smiling face of his wife. He schooled his expression with their increasing argument. He slithered his phone in his pocket and grabbed the jacket. "Where is my girlfriend
