She felt similar feelings when he came around her. Abruptly, a strong hand wrapped around her waist. His hand held her hand and slid the ring in her finger. She glanced down at her hand. There was blood on solitaire. She skipped her heart beat. She spun to make sure, was he real? She put her head on his chest. His threat was mixed with love and affection. She could hear his heartbeat running fast and her own getting faster too as well. She weighed herself on him leaning on him, her side was touching his hard chest. His arms snaked on her stomach, making her feel safe, pushing her more close.
" Are um, " He was fumbling with words.
She recoiled to see him, " No, I'm not upset. Ana always planned such things when I feared especially to love someone. She does it to make me comprehend and accept what seems to me difficult. I'm sorry. I couldn't get it first. I shouldn't come like this. I made you suffer. Yo
She raised her hand to knock. With the slight hit of a knock, the door creaked open, emerging Ana and Isha. They were embracing. Isha was apologizing to Ana. " Hye! We were waiting for you." Isha smiled and held her by arm. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt like..like this. I never thought I'd hurt you so much that you'd take steps to leave us all. " Ana trailed. " Thank you for the push." She smiled and put her arms around her. " Thank gosh you aren't upset with me any longer." Ana hugged her tightly. " Is Kairo....." She trailed. " He is understanding. He knew why I did that. Seriously, we didn't think you'd decide to leave us. " Ana was saddened and took her hands in her. " I thought we lost you," Ana said, looking at her hand. She found her gaze on the blood
The door slid open of the conference hall, emerging Sahil, who bowed sighting at Liam and to both brothers, then Caspian who was total with a different look than a street thief. He was in a black shiny suit and at the end, an old man around his mid fifty came in. He could see white hair in his dark brown stubble and hair. He was also in a black shiny suit. His chin was held high perhaps because he was standing near his lost son. He didn't budge from his seat. Caspian shook his hands with his brothers, " Hello, sir. " Caspian passed a genuine big smile. He nodded in reply with a small smile on his face. His eyes turned to an oldie. Oldie paced toward him. " Hello, Mr Rodriguez. I'm Michael Tauro. " He said with a wicked proud smile. Standing up from his head chair. He took his hand, " Hello Mr Tauro. P
Her face was resting on the table above the palms on her hands. Eyes were blinking at the main entrance of the mansion. The tick-tock of the clock was creating music in silence for her, showing ten minutes past one o'clock. Night had fallen all around. Her mother in law insisted her to not wait for so long but she refused. She was slackening from waiting. " You should go to bed. " She said breaking the quiet slowly. On the other end of the table. Vanessa was active sitting on the chair. Her owl eyes were gawking the hall and looking for anything which could harm her. " I'll ma'am. When you'll be around the Boss. " She said. Her voice was screaming that she wasn't sleepy at all. She didn't argue with her. Sleeping was threatening to come over her and making the door shut off from the view. She sighted, making her
Michael and he were waiting for Danil in his office. Michael was rubbing his hand on his stubble and eyes fixed to the door. He was working on his laptop but what would be in the report was bothering him. He was not ready to believe the report. It didn't matter if the result turned out to be positive. He wanted to see her happy. He saw Danil coming toward the hall, file in his hand through the glass door. He stopped typing and gazed at him. " Report! " Danil said, hitting the file on his hand, " I didn't read it. " He said, giving it to Liam, " You know." he got in the chair. He took the file and snapped open it. His eyes darted on the result. It was matching. This man was his wife's father. Michael grabbed it from his hand. He stared at the oldie and was determined. He would not believe and trust him until his inquiry passed him. " I told you. " He erupted in the biggest smile
He was grasping the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles got white all the time, his forehead wrinkled with anger. His jaw was tightened the whole time. He pulled over the car in the garage of his mansion. He got out of the wheels. Opening door for her, he held her hand and tugged her inside the house. Unknown appearance in the Hall halted them. Everything was happening so fast that it was puzzling her. Olivia, Nickolas, Danil and Kairo were sitting around the glass table on the couch with a stranger. On sight of them, a stranger turned to them. " I heard you wanna meet me? " Unknown appearance said when he saw them. " Who are you? " Liam frowned. She was watching him carefully as she knew him. He was tall, broad muscular, tan skin, brown eyes, He was looking dapper in a dark blue suit. There was a little cut on the end of his right jaw. He
Her eyes were wide open and glaring out at the sky. There were clouds, she was finding different images from the clouds. Glancing at the clock, she stepped out of the mattress. She took a long time to select a dress for her. It has been getting cold outside these days. She picked up black jeans and full sleeves dark blue top and sauntered toward the washroom. When she reached the hall, she roamed her eyes around. There was no one visible in the house. She hurriedly finished her breakfast. Vanessa was standing behind her. She was planning to meet Alena and her niece Emerald. She grabbed her purse and paced out. " Ma'am, Boss has said, you can't go out for some days. " Vanessa said, stopping her. She stopped at the threshold and roamed her eyes in the lawn. There was security in black uniform after four steps. It was looking more like a military station than his mansion. She whirled and glar
Danil said that he punished himself for hurting her. She had seen him beholding her with remorseful eyes. He had a deep cut on his hand on the same hand, he gripped her last day. Her forearm was still paining a bit, her knees were fine as there were only small scratches. she avoided high heels today. She was in simple white sandals. Maid put the plate in front of her. She sneaked a look toward the kitchen. He wasn't there. She could see white smoke over the pasta. It was hot. She wanted to forget yesterday when she thought about the worse things and him hurting her. ' I should wait for him, she thought. ' Meantime, Liam slid the chair and sat close to her. " You're not eating. " He said. " It's hot. It'll bur-n my tongue. " She said, careful not to meet with his eyes and not to stutter. She didn't want to make him more guilty. &nb
He unbuttoned his coat, getting in his chair. His office was gleaming with morning light. There were piles of files on his table. He opened the first one. Moving his eyes on the black letters, he grabbed his pen. When he was done with reading it. He signed it. He took out his phone. Flashing the display, he smiled as glancing down at his wife's picture. He kept it on the table and plucked the second file. When he signed all the files. He picked his office phone and asked his assistant to take them from his desk. Hearing a knock, he glanced up at the mirror door. He nodded at Danil. " I thought you'd be busy. " There was humor in his voice. " Rose is already pulling my legs, brother. " Danil smirked. " Ah, finally, my wife found something instead of sneaking out. " he mocked. " She's happy and asking me the details of where I want this ceremony.
ARIANA She wasn't surprised when Kairo suddenly decided to leave Detroit. She was back in his mansion. She hissed in pain as she softly placed her finger on the bruise over her forehead. Her blonde hair was in unruly waves and cascading down her shoulders. Her phone began to ring. She swirled her head at the desk. Sauntering forward, she swiped it up in her hand with a smile, "Sal, I'm fine. I've told you many times." She muttered. "Yeah! Yeah! I trust you. Still, I wanna know. How are you now?" She wasn't regretting that she couldn't spend time with her brother as he was busy catching the trouble. She sat on the couch, staring down at the carpet, "I'm good." 'I haven't seen my husband after reaching home. He's not answering my calls. I don't know what to do.' The door opened softly. Her head jerked at it, her breath caught in her throat at the sight of him. She was looking at him without blinking, "I'll call you later,
KAIRO His cuffs were unfastened and his sleeves were rolled up. His hands were gloved. A knife was gleaming in his hand. The blade was covered with blood. The crimson was dripping on the floor. A low growl rumbled through his chest, his glare was fixed at him. There wasn't any part of his skin visible clean. He was covered in his own blood. His fingers were missing, several cuts on his palms and the back of his hands. "Leave something for us, Kairo." Danil's smirking tone reached his ears. He leaned against the opened door, looking down at struggling, groaning in pain Tony. Tony stared at them with hate in his eyes. The cloth in his mouth was muffling his screams. Kairo glowered and fisted in his face, "Lower your gaze, piece of ****!" He snarled, punching his hand one more time. He made another hit over the back of his hand, on the several cuts. Tony howled in pain. His face creased.
A shiver moved up her body when she found their guards' gazes on her. She managed a nervous smile and took the way to the kitchen. Her body tensed involuntarily when they started to walk behind her. She tried hard not to show fear. They just needed a little hint and it would reach Kairo. She could have lost her mother forever. Her heart was racing so hard and fast she was fearing it was enough for them to notice that something was off. The tension in the air was surrounding her or only she was feeling it. The maids looked up at her. She ignored them as her gaze fixed on the second door of the kitchen. She looked over her shoulder. They were busy inspecting the area. One of the maids stepped forward, her head bowed. The staff wasn't changed. She recognized her immediately. She could ask for their help but she didn't want to put their lives in danger. She could only hope that her husband would save her from her father's danger. But no one could save the
She had learned how to bury those feelings, she felt when she found herself alone in the room. She was frightened to imagine the stalker around her every time. The fear and anxiousness, she couldn't control. The heavyweight that she was feeling in his absence was making her suffocate. She blinked a few times, plucking her eyes away from the door. It opened softly. Her heart began to race in anticipation. A slow smile appeared on her face. "Ria," Her mother walked into the room. She didn't let her smile drop, "Mom," She hurried her feet at her mother, "Is dad treating you..." Marcella shook her head, "Did he hurt you?" She cupped the side of her face. A deep frown foamed over her face, "Why would he hurt me, Mom?" She shook her head in disapproval, "He's not father," She added, looking into her eyes. Marcella glanced at her, looking stunned, "He isn't cruel." "Why would he?" She relaxed that her mother wasn't g
Tension radiated from her. She didn't want to come and meet her family in such a condition when she knew there was a stalker out there who was too dangerous. Silence filled her thoughts when she looked at her husband. It wasn't any special occasion. Only Vincent and his trusted guards knew the reason for their arrival. Her father and mother and the entire outfit were unaware of it. She was planning to stay away from her father. They had busy days. It didn't count when she was in danger. Her father, Dominick, had thrown a party welcoming them. She ran her fingers over the diamond necklace around her neck. Her gaze halted on a simple thick bangle of silver. Kairo had asked her to not remove it. She wasn't interested in putting it on, but Kairo insisted on it. It looked like a classic piece, but she still found it boring. The silence could be felt around her. She was dreading it. She stared off toward the garden out of the window. She hadn't prai
KAIRO He wanted to be in the middle of the street, fighting, drawing blood from his enemies' bodies. He sharply breathed in, adjusting his tie. He ran his hand over his coat. His brother's gun was lying beneath it. The clicks of the heels drew his attention, decreasing his frustration. He moved his gaze on her body swiftly. She was wearing a grey dress, the dress was moulding with her body. She smiled at him when his gaze met her through the mirror. She couldn't hide her fear. "I'm ready," She breathed out and fidgeted on her feet. Buttoning his coat, he turned to her, "You don't need to be afraid when I'm with you," He said. After staring at him for a second, she nodded her head, "Um, I saw Travis out of our door." She said, nervously. A grin appeared on his face, his forehead creased as he walked over to the door and pulled open it. His brows furrowed further at the sight of Caspian, "You're late,
KAIRO The phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and smirked at the number. He hit on the accept and put the phone to his ear, "I wasn't thinking to reach this to your ears so soon," He said in a casual relaxed way. "I don't accept my men's betrayal." His voice was cold as usual on the speaker too. "You should know what's running under your nose," He clenched the phone in his hand in exasperation, recalling the scared face of his wife. "It's Dominick's family matter," "Now, it's out of control and affecting my family." His jaw tightened. "I've given words to Liam. I won't interfere between him and his prey." He clenched his hand, "Good for you," He hit on the end button. He cursed as he didn't ask him the reason for calling him. He didn't want to call him back. "You need to use your head, instead of anger." He spun, pocketing his phone. His brows creased as he looked at Danil, "What do you want,
She strolled out of the house. She was clutching her purse in hand. 'Olivia has shown trust in me. I can't let it break. I can handle kids. I have seen Rose and Isha. Rose is going to the hospital for the checkup. Olivia is staying with her and Isha doesn't want to miss any opportunity to be with her sister in her pregnancy.' Opening the back door, she sat in the car. She wasn't familiar with guards yet but she recognized Rachel immediately when opened the passenger side door and hopped in. Rachel gestured at the driver. Her smile was telling she was content with her life. The flash of time spent with Kairo made something warm and unusual grow within her. She watched the vast plain grassland enclosing the private road. She busied herself with her phone, strolling down her I*******m account. She didn't post her pictures, she used them to see the latest fashion. The car slowed down. She didn't look up from her phone. She froze when
She was staring at her reflection. Minutes passed. Her hair was wavy and resting on her bare shoulders. She applied red lipstick after doing the makeup. The door cracked open. She glanced over her shoulder, her heart immediately skipping a beat before taking on an erratic note. She watched him walk in. His look was different from his usual look. He was draped into a black t-shirt and black jeans. She couldn't force her gaze away from him. His expression never gave anything away. He wasn't in a foul mood, for sure. She spun on her pointed heels and smiled. The air around him was carrying power. The strength in his body was evident despite his dark clothing. Shoving his hand out of his pocket, he offered his hand. She liked it when he did so. Her smile broadened. She wanted him to return the smile, but she wasn't keeping expectations. He squeezed her hand when she slipped her hand in his. He made her walk out of the room. She wanted
