Grusha's POV:

I feel as if I have been beaten.

Wait. What happened?

I compelled myself to recall the last memories I have. And the last thing I remember are those ocean eyes.

I felt my head spinning and my body aches were getting worse. I opened my eyes only to find the blurry vision of what was surrounding me. I had to blink few times to clear my vision and then I took notice of my surrounding. It almost felt familiar but I am conscious enough to know that it is not.

I could see that I was in a cell in someone’s basement, and the crimson handprints on the grubby walls were obvious evidence of my conformation, which didn’t scare me at all. There is a door right in front of me, where I assume would be my only way out.

My lips felt dry and the corner of my lips was bruised reasoning why I can’t open them. My hair was covering my face, brushing against my bruised lips every time I took a breath. I tried tugging them away, only to notice my hands were restrained. I tried to wiggle out of

  • To tame the wild horse   Rumors

    Author's POV"Just kill me"Grusha uttered while looking him in the eyes. And those eyes stared back at her grey orbs emotionlessly. She expected him to do something, but all he did was stare at her. But what Grusha didn’t see was the confusion in his eyes. Having people in his cells begging him to kill them is not something new to Damien, but the fact that the existence of the girl in front of him being a mystery is something that triggers his restless mind. He kept staring at her, trying to find something or anything that could be useful but the fear-coated grey orbs revealed nothing but exhaustion; exhaustion of everything.For a brief moment, he thought she could be a spy or something, but after observing her face, he realized she is not someone like that unless she is really good at acting, so he did not completely dismiss his assumption. Even if she if a spy, then why would Bernadi go to such lengths to obtain her? Her mystery was messing with his mind, but he knew for sure that

  • To tame the wild horse   History repeats itself

    Damien's POV:‘No wonder why they felt so familiar. Well, then that means that those rumors are true.’ I leaned back taking couple of steps backward while continuing to look at her as she appeared to be zoning out while staring at a blank space.‘Then, it is Grusha Aslanov. The princess of the mob. And the heir of the Aslanov mafia. And now the only heir. Additionally, the daughter of Amalia Bernadi; late mafia queen.’ I had had a few brief encounters with her before she passed away when I was a child, but I had heared enough to be aware that she was the only woman who took over the mafia world. Rumors said that she passed away while giving birth, but no one said anything about the baby. While there were few rumors that the baby was alive and fine, some people claimed that the baby also passed away. And here she is. It turned out to be that those rumors are true. I don’t know what kind of relationship nonno [grandfather] has with the Aslanovs, but I do remember how he treated Amalia l

  • To tame the wild horse   Hurt and Hate

    Grusha's POV:I hissed as foamy water kissed every scar on my body, even the recently injured ankle. After that guy left, I stood up and tried to walk to the bathroom, but ended up hobbling all the way like he said and successfully spraining the same injured ankle. The pain was unbearable and I would have taken a bath in the bathtub but I chose to be hard on myself and chose to take a shower standing. I had to bite my tongue to keep me from screaming in pain. I shifted all my weight to my left leg and put both hands on the wall to ease the pain in ankle. I turned my head to the side and bit down on my arm, groaning as the pain shot through my veins from my ankle to my hips like electricity.After turning off the shower, I limped out of the shower while frantically scrabbling my hands everywhere, desperately trying to find something to hold onto, in order to support me but miserably finding nothing. With my stumbling steps, the scratch over my ankle has reopened and the blood started t

  • To tame the wild horse   Two lives in the past

    Grusha's POV:As soon as I opened my eyes, I involuntarily bend over the sink and threw up everything that was inside my stomach. I wonder if there were any. After throwing up, I washed my face and lifted my head to catch a glimpse of myself. My cheeks and nose were crimson red and red veins of eyes were highlighted in the white of sclera. A headache was forming in my head and my nose was running. I grabbed the towel back and dried off my face before keeping it on the counter. I took a few hobbling steps back and my eyes unknowingly fell over the scar on my hip. I slightly rotated my leg to get a full view of the scar.Touching the scar, I trace it along to the end of it, at the inner thigh. It does its job. It reminds me of that day. It reminds me of those filthy touches. It reminds me how I was almost raped by that jerk. It reminds me everything. Just like he wanted to. Sighing heavily, I made my way out of the bathroom to bedroom without caring to cover myself. I always had this ha

  • To tame the wild horse   Choice to choose

    Damien's POV:I came home right away after the dinner with nonno since I didn’t have anything more to say to him. Entering the house, I hurriedly made my way to Grusha’s room to see how she was doing. The two men I placed at her door bowed their heads when they saw me approaching them. I gave them a curt nod and one of them opened the door to the room while backing away, letting me to enter the room. The room was utterly dark and for a moment, I thought this was some kind of stunt that she has put to attack me in order to escape. But, when I switched on the lights all of my doubts left my mind, observing my feisty kitten sleeping peacefully on the bed.‘It is just a matter of time before I make you mine, princess.’As I was making my way over to the bed I accidently stepped on something. Looking down, my eyes fell on the black shirt that I had given her to wear.‘So, she didn’t wear it huh?’A loud growl of disapproval left my mouth, successfully waking her up. And when she turned her

  • To tame the wild horse   Signing the fate

    Gruha's POV:"Or be mine."When he uttered those words, my breath hitched and I blinked my eyes in confusion."B-Be yours?"I asked him again to confirm that I heard it correct."Did I stutter, sweetheart?"He asked, still caressing my lips. His slow touch did no harm to me, yet I found it hard to breathe when he does it. I am sure as hell that I am not going to victor so, apparently, this is the only choice I get. I don't understand what he meant by that. But I know that whatever it is, it is either stay with him or stay with victor for me."W-What do you mean?"I further questioned him to know what exactly he meant by that. I sort of have an idea what possibly his words can mean but decided to ask him directly without presumptions."Marry me."His voice penetrated my ears as a whisper and my body freeze hearing him. Marry him? Who is a total stranger to me? I have never been much of a fan of marriage or relationships but I am aware enough to know that marriage is not just about sign

  • To tame the wild horse   Devils have never been the prayers of the god

    Author's POV:"She knows how to choose wisely."Damien said while closing the file. A smirk danced over his lips which gave his face a devilish look. After Grusha signed the marriage certificate, Luca came and took the file with him. Damien already knew she had no other option than accepting him but he wanted to make sure that she did.Watching the satisfied face of his boss, Luca sighed in relief because he can only imagine what would have happened if her answer was different. But that relief didn't last long as Damien’s face darkened and now the devil has returned."Let’s go"Damien said while getting up and Luca followed him out of the office, not knowing where they were going. But he was certain that if Damien is going somewhere he is going too.Luca has been working for him for years and he has witnessed everything that happened to him. He witnessed how he became the devil he is now. Luca stayed with his every step. Though Damien never shows it, if there could be anyone that he b

  • To tame the wild horse   Damien: To tame you

    Grusha's POV: My anxiety was kicking in my mind and my knee wouldn't stop shaking. It must be about 5 in the morning and we were out on bridal shopping as he called it. I didn't see the necessity to hold a ceremony as I have already signed the marriage certificate. So, it doesn't matter if we vowed in front of a priest or not. But, as always, I didn't have a say in that other than coming along with him which I am doing right now. I bit my lip in anxiety and suddenly I felt a warm contact over my knee and when I looked down I saw his large palm grabbing my knee preventing it from shaking. The warmth I got from his hand, travelled up to my core making me close my legs, after pulling my knee out of his grip. I was about to put my head on the window when he gripped my thigh firmly, digging his nails into my flesh. "WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT NOW? I HAVE ALREADY SIGNED THE MARRIAGE CETIFICATE, HAVEN'T I? THEN I DON'T SEE THE NECCESSITY TO HOLD A FUCKING CEREMONY TO SHOW OFF THE WORLD THAT W

  • To tame the wild horse   Blood is thicker than the water?

    Author's POV: "Okay. I will think about it and inform you of my final decision. You may go now." Grusha said while finally leaving the chair that she has been sitting for the whole time. The dim lights of the office room made it more visible for someone who looks from the outside since the surrounding was that much dark. She was too preoccupied with all the work to notice that she had Luca coming to her office to remind her that it is almost the time to return home. Damien used to drop her off and pick her up from the office until she eventually requested him not to which he hesitantly agreed at last but only with the condition for her to return home early and if she were to stay overnight she will have to keep her bodyguards with her until she returns. Be it possessiveness or care she secretly liked even having someone thinking about her though she doesn't show it. She grabbed her coat and the pile of files that was on her desk before leaving the cage of an office that she has be

    Author's POV:"What was your name again?"Grusha asked without taking out her eyes from the files she had in her hands."It’s David ma’am."David; the newly appointed secretary of Grusha answered confidently just like how a newbie would act. It’s only been few days since he joined the company and this is the first time she has ever talked to him. Though Grusha was not happy with the idea of having secretary she could not let anyone have any suspicion of her. If anything she wanted to become closer to her employees. So after running few background checkups Grusha finally decided to give him a chance and watch patiently."Yeah David. Could you find me the annual report of the company?""Which year one ma’am? The last year one?""Yeah_ no bring all the annual reports for the last ten years.""Sure ma'am.""Also ask the CFO to come and meet me right now.""That...""Why?

  • To tame the wild horse   The two puzzle pieces

    Author's POV: A loud thud was reverberated breaking through the not quite yet calm atmosphere which the sea tide has created. The waves were not as rough as day time but the sound of the waves crashing was not as quiet as expected yet it could bring some peacefulness to the puzzling mind of Grusha. She leaned onto the railing as the sea wind blew her messy hair out of her face making her pale complexion shine even brighter under the moonlight. The sound of sand crashing was heard and she didn't need to look to know who it is since it is obviously the person who drove this far just to come to this place that also at a time like this. Someone would have thought he is insane but Grusha didn’t since she also agreed that if she were him she would also drive any far just to feel this peacefulness.Everything was drowned in a deep darkness to the point she could not see the sea and the sky separately. Moon being the only source of the light helped them to see their surroundings to some exten

  • To tame the wild horse   No smoke without fire

    Author's POV: "Yes. Tell me about Aslanovs. I am sure that you don't need any permission for that. If you do then consider you are permitted."Luca’s curious eyes went to rear view mirror to take a look at Grusha who was already looking at him in the mirror. Her eyes held no hesitation no emotions nothing but underlying power and authority. Luca’s mind went back to when he saw the same familiar gaze in the past but in another person's eyes.'No doubts who she takes after.'Luca mumbled silently with a smirk before turning the steering wheel to take a turn."Be honest please!"Grusha voiced out in a frustrated tone not ready to listen to any lies or fairytales. But what really frustrating was that she doesn't know about her own husband and no one is telling her anything either."What do you want to know?"Luca’s voice broke out in the growing silence."What do you know?""Mmm...Where should I start?Mr. Bernadi didn't come from a well privilege family.as far as I know the late Mr. King

She ran her gaze over the faces of Luca's and Gomez’s who were waiting to know what was happening."Okay. I’ll be there."She said before hanging up the call and handing over the phone to Luca."Sorry uncle. I have to leave now. I’ll help you with breakfast tomorrow. Promise."Gomez shook his head at Grusha who was busy undressing her apron indicating that it is alright. Grusha softly smiled at him before sprinting to the elevator to go to her room to change into something else.It’s been a while since everything became comfortable for her. More likely it's been a while since she adapted herself in this house as Damien’s wife. During that time, she got close to everyone who lived under the roof including Gomez, Luca and especially her husband, Damien. Without realization she has started doing small acts like waking up in the morning and preparing

    Grusha's POV: Damien, he was trembling. I swiftly placed the trey on the bedside table before dashing towards Damien’s trembling figure. I touched his arm and he was definitely trembling. Drops of sweat were rolling down his forehead and all of this scared the shit out of me."Damien."No response."DAMIEN!"I called once again while shaking his figure."Damien! Wake up!"This time my voice raised a little bit after not receiving any response and I began shaking him violently. I knelt beside him on the bed while tapping his cheeks and calling him again and again which eventually made Damien to snap open his eyes while breathing heavily. He swiftly sat on the bed while panting as if he has ran a mile."Everything is okay now. Breath slowly. Breath."I said while pulling his head to rest on my shoulder as my hands caressed his messy hair and his back. I felt him wrapping his hands around me tightly and we stayed like that for a few minutes until he calmed down."I am right here with you
