Sofia."Fuck," I stretched out the word and squeezed the life out of Nikolai's calloused large hand hissing at the horrible feeling as my lower stomach contorted from the inside at innate agony.And men compare getting kicked in the balls to having period cramps as if they could feel their dicks being ripped from the inside out.Lucky idiots.Nikolai gave me a small peck on my forehead sitting on the bed as I unconsciously leaned my head against his shoulder, his abnormally hot hand resting on my lower tummy.And I sighed at the nice feeling."You're like a human heater," I meekly whispered and he laughed rubbing soothing circles over my skin and I accept the nice feeling with open arms.Goosebumps rose on my skin whenever his thumb put the smallest bits of pressure whenever I hissed and the cramps start subsiding going to a normal manageable pace.Manageable my ass, this shit still hurt but hey, at least it was distracting me from my shitty emotional state. So Yay!"But I'm your huma
Sofia.After the trio left. I just stayed in bed playing Episode, a knock came on the door as one of the older maids from before took the empty tray and brought me another mug of tea.And that got a smile on my face at the thoughtful gesture that was probably Nial's doing. I explained to the Mara --the maid that I wanted another heating pad as well.I smiled gratefully thanking the kind older woman as she fetched me what I had requested and my lunch too then I realized how long I'd been on my phone.I had my lunch in peace listening to some music and setting the empty tray and plate aside. The same woman took the empty dishes and I thanked her for the billionth time.Then, I continued playing Epi while sipping my tea letting out contented sighs till I received a notification.A huge grin got plastered itself on my face at the text.Carter: Can we FaceTime ? missed ur pretty face and m bored rn.I laughed typing back.Me: couldn't bare to not be in my amazing presence huh?Carter: meh,
Sofia.Cami left me to go through the movies that we could stream on the screen and me being the overly obsessed Disney fan, I had picked Encanto.She came back with some snacks and I mumbled a 'thank you' grabbing a bag of Doritos to munch on and press play as I plopped the heating pad- I was taking everywhere to place it on my lower stomach.And I sighed. Cami and I snuggled into our blankets watching the movie animatedly but silently shoveling unhealthy snacks down our throats but at least it tasted good.-The credits rolled in and Cami turned off the screen turning to face me, a sad smile on her face and I tensed expecting the worst."Sof, Dimitri told me, about-uh you know," she muttered mournfully casting me a worried glance as I understood what she was talking about.I awkwardly nodded feeling her sit next to me holding my hand and giving it a light squeeze.Instead of giving me a lame apology that wouldn't help with anything besides fuck with my deteriorating mental health, s
Author's POV.The sun shone through the curtains and the warm breezy weather and the beauty of Milan were always an amazing sight for the trio to wake up to.Especially when they were visiting their favorite allies. The Alexeyev brothers were the biggest gun trading and highest paid in the arm dealing business and their allies were always numerous but the Italians were the trio's favorite, they got along with them because of their fun but hardworking selves.Plus, they were actually decent people to deal with despite their crime-filled lifestyle.Each one of the trio woke up feeling absolutely empty without Sofia by their sides.The beautiful view did nothing to soothe them but it reminded them to bring their love with them the next time to experience this along their side.Nadei kept dreaming of her cute smile, her giggles, her adorable face that call from earlier was still ingrained in his brain making his heart beat faster with happiness and joy.She missed me he felt happiness sw
Nial."Doll, are you okay?" I said, the worry in my voice, evident but when she let out a giggle, I found my stoic façade falling to the ground.And a smile tugged over my lips."I'm alright, thank you, uh-what about you guys?" She asked and I visualized her blushing cute face contorted in embarrassment with her nose scrunched.Adorable.I let out a chuckle and made my way to our car, the Italians leading the way with their SUVs.Aurelio's bleached hair and bright blue eyes--that reminded me of my babygirl's-- caught my sight and he waved gesturing that we were leaving now.And I jogged to the car closing the door after getting in to see Aurelio driving, Nikolai was in the back with Nadei."Nial," My gorgeous girl mumbled and I realizef that I haven't answered her question."We're fine, babygirl-" Aurelio cast me a knowing smirk and I snorted with a flip of my finger, "We're just missing you," I admitted longingly and she sighed."I-I missed you too," her words had my brain freeze for
Sofia.The last two weeks were absolutely amazing with Camille's company and Ivana, her mother was in the mansion for short periods before she left to work so I rarely bumped into her, but whenever I did she asked about how I was doing and to find her if I needed anything.She wasn't a woman of many words or was she an overly affectionate person and I appreciated the fact that she was genuinely wanting to help me if I had struggled with anything. It meant something to me.I never had a mother figure to start with but these kinds of gestures made me effectuate that there were nice people in this world.She treated me like her own. I admired and liked Anastasia even more for it.Ivana had told me that they had their own penthouse in the city center in some fancy building. She said that she was used to staying home alone since her mother was a bit of a workaholic and I saw the sadness flickering in her dark brown worbs before it was gone when she mentioned that part.She was lonely.I k
Sofia.Begrudgingly dried my hair and my body. applying the moisturizer on my skin after shaving my legs. I walked into the room as Camille stood up grinning wildly, her arms swinging back and forth like a kid high on sugar."Come on chérie, put this on-" she handed me the dress then paused at my frown, "And maybe put a smile on too. Ah! We'll have so much fun," she squealed and I grabbed the soft silky material from her."We'll have so much fun," I mocked and she just giggled at my attempt at her heavy French accent coming out of my mouth.I slipped on my underwear deciding to not wear a bra, my eyes surveying the pretty dress and I worried about how my boobs would be practically spilling out of the thin material.But I loved my ears too much to not get scolded about how good I'd look in them and wore them anyway.My scars thankfully are going to be hidden from the wandering eyes by a few touches of makeup here and there.I slipped on the dress, its spaghetti straps barely holding m
Sofia.They ignored me the first minutes as I sobered up after Nial silently handed me a bottle of water and I thanked him downing it but he paid me no mind and turned rigidly to his side.The sexual tension was suffocating me.But slight fear dripped into my pours compelling me to tense and try to get on their good side before it was too late."I'm really sorry I-I didn't mean to-" I sighed and the huffed irritated breaths I received from them made me want to crawl into a ditch and die.Or let them teach me a lesson."Baby, trust me you will be sorry. When we're done with you," Nikolai purred way too calmly for the sake of my swollen lower lips that gushed their essence out at the sound of his voice.The voice that I had missed.His presence, his playful but caring self and that pretty face of his that never failed to bring butterflies to swarm my stomach and have my heartbeat fastening.I tried to blandish the three hulking men creating havoc in my soul, heart, brain and pussy."Dadd
Sofia.My eyes began to water. My mouth felt too dry and my throat felt parched but not from emotion. But because of who was sitting right in front of me. Being him. Fucking Arsen.There was one great thing about me that I took pride in. My ability to remember every single person that I meet's name. Be it days, months or years, I always remember. It was a talent at this point. For me to not forget this man from six years ago.The same idiot that tried to slyly swerve his way into my life.Clenching my jaw, I plastered a smile on my face as I faced him, grinning at me without a care taking sips of his latte. "What the fuck is this?" I almost growled. "Couldn't bother telling me that I actually know you?""Oh, do you, now?" He looked smug.I rolled my eyes and asked. Genuinely curious. Slightly vindictive. Overly caffeinated. "What's your endgame?" I felt my fingers twitch as looked at me like a curious puppy. "What do you mean?" His confusion made it even worse for me to keep my comp
Sofia.Accepting the call, I held my breath, not wishing to let it go as if it was my last. Waiting for him to commence and say something... anything. But only silence greeted me. Not a single word from his side, only shallow breathing and prolonged sighs.As if he was preparing himself.I was too, in a way."Do you know how many times I have waited for you to s-show up?" I willed myself to whisper, clutching my phone tighter. Emotions hogging my airway. "You promised me, you know. I thought that you-" I heaved a harsh breath, plopping to the cold marble floor."Bella.... Please," he started, "Listen to me for a second.""No, you listen to me, Sir." I whisper- shouted through with this hide and seek game that he was pulling me into. "You can't just disappear for years on end and then fucking show up. And you absolutely, cannot and will not ever approach my son or I swear to whatever that is holy..."I let my threat hang in the air as I brush my hair back. The simmering anger I felt ju
Sofia.Flashback..."Here!" A hand grasped onto a lilly, holding it to my face, blocking my vision of the sweet brown haired boy as he looked at my reaction. "This is for you, Sof!"Awestruck, I blushed, shakily grabbing the beautiful flower. Giving him a blinding smile, my eyes glistened in the warm sun energizing my gloomy self. "It's so pretty. Thanks!""It's no biggie," his lips stretched into a full blown grin, giggling as I caught his warm eyes. I felt myself turn beet red, fidgeting with my hands as he uttered, shyly. "Pretty people deserve getting pretty things!""Y-you think.. that I'm p-pretty?" I stuttered, rocking on my heels, back and forth. Not used to the adorable and effortless way he complimented me in. And in the state that I was in, I couldn't believe that he really thought that I was anything close to being... pretty.The word seemed so foreign.Because I was no match to the flower he had compared me with."Mhm, really cute too.""T-thanks," I stammered, turning my
Sofia.-Hope that this would give you the justice that you deserve, too.A.H-Ripping the yellow envelope, I pulled a flashdrive, a stack of pictures and a note. I read the messy cursive writing on the folded piece of paper a second time. Unsure of what to feel..I was... relieved but confused. I obviously still didn't know who the stranger was nor did I know how he knew anything this personal about me.However, it didn't matter, now.All what mattered was the slight feel of satisfaction that coursed through my heart. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a little happy that they got what they deserved. Honestly, It was long overdue. Revenge felt good. Not great.And it had me questioning everything. The thought itself of Adrian's death, his dark eyes staring into nothingness as his equally dark, sick and twisted soul left his body was... satisfactory but it was still missing something.Closure was something that people took for granted, thinking that that they can just move on
Six years later..Sofia."Momma! Miss Ania gave me this! It's so fluffy!" Throwing his hands up, I break a smile at the sight of his big blue eyes gleaming as he shook a new stuffed toy. It was his birthday today and his friends and his preschool teacher wanted to throw him a little party at the park. It was a win win situation, whereas the kids got out of class to play and have some fun and I had my little boy distracted while I planned his party at home and I thankfully managed to finish everything up in time to pick him up."Look, look, loooook! Lydie gave me this," he blushed at the mention of the cute red head. She was Layla's daughter and Camille's four year old niece."Wow, those are amazing," I gushed matching his enthusiasm, "You know, you can open the rest of them at home. I'll help you. Now, stay with your friends while I go say hi to your teacher, okay?" I kissed his temple, brushing away his dirty blond curls "Okay!" He agreed, jumping up as skidded over to his classmat
Sofia.I could feel the boys turning white as the look of absolute rage took over his wrinkly face. The way that he clenched his jaw and squinted his eyes made me slightly cower into my seat, the look in his eyes almost looked like...his...Like.. Adrian's and I gulp, wishing that I haven't talked back as the old bastard yelled causing me to flinch back."WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?!"Luca jumped out of his seat gripping the old hag by the shoulders as he hurried over to my side, in an attempt to attack me. And during the chaos of his rage fit, we don't hear the front door unlocking. "Let me teach her a fucking lesson! The whore!" He flailed his arms around wanting to get out of the strong grip that my brother has on him.Mama hurried to interrupt his hatefulness filled words but failed to make him stop. "Father, don't -""Shut up! You're the one that caused this in the first place. You wouldn't listen to me! And look what it got you. A whore of a daughter, marrying three men
Sofia."Yep, I'm definitely gonna be the cool uncle, cause you three can't, for oblivious reasons," Aurelio mocked, boasting himself in the process of roasting Renzo, Luca and Vale. "You're naming your kid after me, right, sorellina?"Holding back a gurgled laugh, I shook my head at him. "You know I'm not doing that.""Meh," he shrugged making me laugh, "Worth a shot."Bombarded with questions after the trio and I returned from the hospital. It was almost an hour since we came back from Delia's office, she was my mother's close friend and co- owned a private clinic with her husband that was also friends with my mom.It was almost ten in the morning now, Nikolai had rushed us to her office at eight AM and I for a moment believed that he didn't get a wink of sleep as he kept dozing off on the car ride, snuggled up to me. His excitement the night before, literally made him lose sleep."What's going on here?" The thick accented voice made the hyped up atmosphere in the dining room, deflate
Sofia."No, wait!" I squeaked out, breaking through their warm embrace in a haste. "I have something to tell you.""Right now?" Nikolai whined trying to pull me to him.Giving him a stern look, I crossed my arms over my chest for emphasis and stood still. The other two laughed as he looked sheepish, muttered a 'sorry, love' and surprisedly kept his hands to himself.My nerves glided as I looked around the empty hall, our room a few doors away. "Let's just..." taking the liberty of guiding them to our room, the click of door being locked broke my resolve. The need to just blurt it out and get it out of my system was suffocating me the longer I kept my lips sealed. "I don't know how to s-say this.""It's okay," Nial smiled, caressing my hand in soft strokes. Pressing a kiss to my knuckles, he reassured, "Take your time, darling. We're not going anywhere."Forcing out a harsh exhale, I looked down, then, up and met their different coloured eyes. The green comforting depths in Nadei's. The
Sofia.“I thought that loving you was all the space my heart had. I had no idea that it'd expand. I didn't think I had any room left in my chest, it feels so full,” he smiled, the soft tug of his lips making his whole features brighten as he griped her hands.Tears brimmed at the corners of my lids, I shuddered and snuggled closer to Layla our arms linked as I sniffled. Needing the emotional and physical support she provided."You have given me everything that I need and want. I promise you that I will cherish and love you until my very last breath," Dimitri concluded his vows, an affectionate look in his eyes as he gazed at Camille who was already tearing up. The happiness radiating from them was unfathomably pure and heartfelt."That was beautiful." The officiant said, a soft smile on his face. "I now, announce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."The sight of the two of my friends declaring their love and special bond in front of so many people made my heart clench at th
