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
To tame the wild horse Morning Routine
Grusha's POV:I was awakened by the bucket of water being thrown at me making me cough terribly as some of it made their way through my nostrils. I could hardly open my eyes because of the strings of blood that connected my eyelids last night had dried enough by now to the point where an involuntary hiss escaped my lips at the stinging pain of re-opening the dried cuts. I could see my shadow on the floor ahead of me as sunlight peered through the small window which was located considerably high for an average man to reach on the wall behind me. It was not much harder to adjust my eyes to the sunlight since that small amount of light could not affect the darkness in the room.I tried lifting up my neck as it began to ache, probably because it had been in the same position, I guess, since the moment I blacked out yesterday, only to be beaten up by the worsening headache. I felt myself sticky and bloody, making me desperate of a hot bath to wash away all dirt from myself until I felt ref
To tame the wild horse Emotions?
Author's POV:Turning the stove off Grusha took the pot before ladling the soup into a bowl. She took off her gloves and placed the steaming soup on the tray before filling a glass with water and placing it on the tray. She lifted the tray with her bruised, shaky hands, only to scream in pain while keeping the tray on the table again unintentionally.No matter what morning routine she follows, she is required to carry out her duty properly.That was his command.Even though she was aware that she would get beaten up at the end of the day on a regular basis, she knew better than to defy him and risk having a near-death experience in which she would beg him to kill her yet he would let her live.After gently rubbing her wrist for a while, she took a deep breath and swallowed her tears. No matter what, she has to do this.Whimpering in pain she lifted the tray and limped towards the stairs to go upstairs which was a great torture for her aching body.She tried to make it as fast as possi
To tame the wild horse Deserted house
Grusha's POV:“Amalia”The moment he said that name, I looked at him while dropping my hands to my lap while still holding the glass of water and pills in my palms. He again mistook me for my mother. ‘How foolish of me to think that he has finally…..never mind’ I mused as a sad chuckle escaped my lips.“Amalia”He called again but I did nothing and just stared at him. This is not the first time he mistook me for my mother, so it’s not new. And I know this won’t be the last time too. But each time this happened, his eyes, his behavior and everything looked different. His eyes seemed somewhat softer and showed many emotions but I couldn’t quite grasp what those were. However, he appeared somewhat different. That’s all I knew. In the beginning I believed it to be a side effect of the medications, but later I was proven wrong when this persisted even when he used to refuse taking medication.Sighing, I again reached out to him in the hopes that he would take them, either consciously or un
To tame the wild horse Pathetic
Grusha's POV:I waited for something to happen, like his fists or any object he could find nearby, as I heard his footsteps get closer, but nothing did. Instead, I suddenly felt a current of wind pass me. I slowly opened my eyes when I heard loud footsteps going up the stairs, only to see my brother’s disappearing figure. He despised me just as much as father did, so it was strange to see him pass by me without at least leaving his finger prints on my cheeks. He was exactly like father in that regard. I let it slide because it is not like I wanted him to do anything.I retreated my gaze from him, only for my eyes to fall on the smirking guy who has been leaning against the door frame, I assume, ever since brother arrived, who I didn’t notice until now.Victor…Despite the fact that he is my cousin, Victor could also receive the title of “best friend” from my brother, which is not at all surprising given that I knew that Victor is not the gentleman that he appears to be. In fact he is
To tame the wild horse Nightmare
Grusha's POV:“No, no, no don’t. I’m sorry. Please don’t do that. Please…”The girl who was tied to a chair pleaded, not knowing what she had done wrong. She apologized for whatever she had done because she had a fleeting thought that if she begged he would let her go; he wouldn’t do anything to her; he wouldn’t harm his own daughter, his own blood. Right? Or she thought. A dark chuckle echoed throughout the basement snatching the slightest thought she had.“Please don’t do this papa.”She was a crying mess, frantically attempting to free herself from the bound chair. But her words fell on deaf ears as he did nothing but continuously chuckled like a maniac looking at her attempts to escape from his captive.Her struggles came to an abrupt end when she felt a sharp blade at her throat. As the blade moved from her throat to her cheek before stopping at her temples, her breathing became more rapid.He circled the chair until he was in front of her still holding the dragger against her le
To tame the wild horse Grusha: The wild horse
Grusha's POV: “Grusha…” When I heard that voice, I felt as though time had stopped. If it weren’t for the burning sensation in my scalp, I might have thought this was some kind of dream. I slowly turned my head after being shocked by what I had just heard, to see the worst sight I have ever seen in my life. Tears that were welled up escaped my eyes, slightly clearing my vision. Brother? If it weren’t for his voice and the necklace that dangle around his neck, I wouldn’t believe this is my brother because of how much worse his condition was. His hair was a mess and it covered both of his eyes and forehead. His head was hung low, but I could see his face totally covered with blood. He was on his knees, his hands tied behind him, occasionally coughing blood. His shirt was also covered with blood and the top buttons were opened which didn’t prevent me from seeing his blood covered chest. I have never imagined him in such a situation like this, but here he is. I was not excited or surp
To tame the wild horse As destiny wishes
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

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?

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
To tame the wild horse Curiosity feeds the kitten
Author's POV:"What? Why? All of a sudden?"Grusha said to the phone while holding it by one hand and wiping the other hand over her apron. 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
To tame the wild horse No one but I will write my own future
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
To tame the wild horse First day as Mrs. King
Grusha's POV: "Ma'am"I flinched and turned around at the voice only to find Gomez standing behind me with a worried look. Was I that zoned out to notice him coming or does he have cat claws?"Umm...Good morning. I just wanted to make something to eat."I said as he began scribbling in his notebook hurriedly."Thank you for being considerate uncle but I want to make breakfast today."I answered before completing the sentence."I insist.""Of course. That’s so nice of you uncle."That's when the kettle's light went off indicating the water is boiled."Well I wanted to refresh everything. That’s why I wanted to make breakfast today. Would you like some cappuccino first?"He started refusing as he waved his hands but somehow agreed nodding his head when he met my gaz
