After taking a quick shower and grabbing breakfast, Lia headed out whilst Stephen hesitated."Stay here, please. You will bring harm to me if you follow. Give me your word, Stephen" sternly, she demanded. Heaving a sigh, he stares at her for a while before slowly nodding. "Just be careful, please. Vasili will have my life if anything happens to you but if it's the only way I could appease the guilt I will be dealing with for the rest of my life, I will gladly give up my life. You know how precious you are to us, Lia. We are family and letting you go this time is like giving you up to the devil. This will not be easy" still conflicted and solemn, she seriously mutters. "I will be careful. This place was once my land. I'm still holding onto the hope of having some humanity from the people I once called the family" she smiles, assuring him. "Wait till I come back. Don't try to do silly things" she playfully added."You know this will be a hellish wait, Lia. I can go crazy waiting and
Staring at his eyes, full of hatred, Lia almost succumbs to the pain in her heart. She knew she was gone so long but what choice does she have? She was just a child."I know you can't do that, Lyon. You cannot do that to me" she painfully whispers while containing her raging emotion. Meeting her gaze with his cold one, the man remains quiet and indifferent. "You should not have come back" he grimly mutters before turning away from her earnest yet gentle gaze. He can't stand it. "I know, but I have no other way" she softly mumbles. "You should be dead, Ame. You just wasted everything by coming back. Are you this stupid?" with his hard and sharp tone, he angrily raves. "Lyon!" A stern voice of a woman interjected, making her turn towards its direction. And like how she felt towards seeing the man, she felt choked seeing her. "Kara" she whispers in pure longing. "Let us get inside" still with a stern tone, she looks at her before turning towards one of the cottages. Lyon remain
"For decades, this has been our source of living. It is no one's right to dictate what we will do" Fred grimly retorted at Lia's declaration. His piercing eyes sharply bore on her.Stunned by his words, Lia together with her siblings gape at him in disbelief. She hasn't expected he would resist. "Your father choose to save you, leaving us all behind in slavery. Gonzalo might be an asshole but we survive because of the jobs he has been providing us" he seriously mutters. "Unlike Eric, I do not know anything outside of the island. I even struggle with how to read or write my name. My children are all ready for this kind of life. What life will we have without Gonzalo?" he continues."Has your father thought about us when he left? He left his other children in my care while prioritizing you. We survive because of me and the jobs we get from Gonzalo" he grimly added. "Uncle..." Lia whispers, pleadingly. "Whatever battle you and your husband against Gonzalo, it's yours alone. Don't inc
Muffled gunshots fill the silence of the night followed by the thud of falling bodies on the ground. The entire place, though looks to be in rubble, has been surrounded by a pretty number of armed men. Just a decent size cottage in the middle of nowhere but suspiciously valuable. Blades came flying from everywhere taking all their aims. Not long, bodies scattered everywhere before men in all black gear quietly sneak amid the darkness. Feet rumbled at haste speed, forging darkness.Bodies fell on the way as they walk through the ragged floorboards. Guards were caught off guard by the armed entourage. It's an easy seizure for a well-known mafia organization. There's no fortress but a miserable house."Wolf" Carl's mouth while intensely staring at him. He looks around with his hawkeye before gesturing for the floor. It took them a while before finding a trap door beneath a tattered rug under the rickety table. A shoddy and pathetic guise. Their men already swarmed the area, an eas
For someone trained with all kinds of sharps, he swiftly dodged its aim. Knocking it with the gun in his hand, he just had a fleeting glance of it on the ground before facing another coming in his direction. He had mastered everything with any sharps, including its viscosity once thrown in the air. And the precision of what was thrown at him is not what he was expecting. Nonetheless, he continues to avoid as much as he could. While Gonzalo was enjoying the show with the hefty laughter shared by his men. Samuel and Steven together with their men try to locate the source of the speeding weapons but it was everywhere. And even how hard they spot the slightest movement in the shadow, they find none. Seeming like the walls are throwing them. "They are good at hiding their traces. They are one with the shadows" Samuel mutters with a clenched jaw. They are all busy evading the darting sharps from everywhere. The blades are nipping their gears, and though they cannot fully penetrate the
Tension rises as the two groups watched each other in animosity, waiting for who would make a move. Despite the stand-off between the groups, Vasili remains calm, watching his wife. It's been a while before he turns to the silent commotion. Looking up, his eyes wandered to fierce-looking men and women. All were staring back at him. They are all strangers garbed in all black. "Weapons down" he casually commanded. And promptly without hesitation, everyone lowers their weapon. His eyes are fixed on the older man above whose face shows the harsh life he had endured. Though he cannot discern what's behind the mask of coldness he wears, he doesn't feel threatened around him. Their piercing gazes lock for a moment before he looks away. Steven and Samuel turn to look at him to turn his inferences but he returns to watching his wife, ignoring them. The three have already composed themselves and Amelia's calm gaze was on him. Her eyes reveal nothing of her thoughts.With their gazes locke
It's already dawn when they went back to the apartelle. Stephen is nowhere when they arrive, even his bag. But she remains uninquiring while they settle to rest. They both left the team and her family to double-check Gonzalo's lair and its surrounding territory. They will be back later to convene with everyone. Vasili insisted to bring her back to where she was staying with Stephen for several reasons and one of those is to have privacy with her. He has been absent for so long and unexpectedly seeing her earlier was the snap of all his reserves. "Argh...at last. I miss you so much, baby" grunting, he breathlessly whispers after he was sheath in her tightness."Ahhn..." a lewd moan is her only response after being filled by Vasili's humongous erection. After long months of not having Vasili, her entire body is screaming for her need to have him. She ached to be filled by just watching his nakedness earlier. And though he lost a little weight, he is gorgeous as she could remember.
"I have father's benefit money from working for the Petrovs. I will be giving it all to you, two" after the family discussion, Lia speaks to her siblings alone. "But how about you, Ame?" Kara worriedly asks. "Kara I'm married to a billionaire. I can't even spend the allowance he is giving me since I was fourteen. He also put up an ample amount in my trust fund. Money is the least of my worries" she earnestly explains. "And these are father's money. You should have them. We will go as we planned earlier. You come to us after a week. We need to go to the bank. Don't worry, I will guide you. Someone will teach you everything you need to know" she assures them, though Lyon has been so quiet. "I know this has been overwhelming, but we could make this work, right? This has been our father's plan for us, and though he is no longer with us, we will fulfill them. We are free from Gonzalo's slavery. We could go out to the world and strive to reach our dreams. We will have a choice aside fro
"Come on now, Ezzie" The small boy hiding at the post abruptly stopped and peek at his mother. "Mama, how did you know I'm here?" exasperated by his ruined plan to scare his mother, he pouted and slumped on the floor. He is so disappointed in his failure. Smiling, Lia shook her head before turning to her son. "I can hear the loud beat of your heart, buddy" she tenderly explains to the sulking boy. For a three-year-old, he is doing great with his Stepanov training, but he still has a lot to learn before he could be invincible as he dreams to be. "I can't stop my heart to beat, mama. I will be dead if that happens" incredulous, he frustratedly raves. Tenderly smiling, she stares at his sulking face. "Your excitement to scare me made your heart beat faster. You have to relax your body. You have to be one with the air. The air will divulge your presence" carefully, she explains. It's at this time of his age that a Stepanov child should master the skills to be one with the environme
"Woah!"The clamor of shouts erupted from the house and a commotion of nervous cries follows."Hahaha"A small voice's laughter resonated together with the uproar he created. It's been a while of turmoil and amusement before a small figure strutted out of the kitchen, grinning. "Eric Carlos, what have you done again?" His tiny steps halted after hearing the stern voice of his mother."Mama" quickly, he runs to her and clings to her legs before another figure appeared from behind them."Papa" with puppy eyes, he looks up to his parents and smile."Another menace, buddy?" in contrast to his mother's stern look, his father looks amused."They haven't heard me coming, Papa! I'm invincible! They were all startled when I jumped on the table!" proud of what he accomplished, he brags to his father."Eric Carlos" with a warning tone, Lia calls him."Mama, I'm getting better. Dada Lyon said I should not have footsteps and shadows. So I did, they were all surprised when I appeared, jumping fro
"Don't you fucking touch me!""Argh! Where's the fucking doctor!?"A conflicting rant came from the bleeding man who is gripping and waving his gun despite his dismal state. He needs a doctor but the gun he is waving pre-empts any doctor to approach him. The emergency room is swarmed by goons who are intimidating everyone. Aside from the armed hysterical man on the bed, the men guarding him are deliberately showing their holstered guns.It's an uproar inside the ER that even the guards are too scared to intervene. It's almost midnight and the night shift just started. Scared out of their wits, they were all nailed on their spot while gaping at the scary men."Give me a fucking doctor before I shoot all of you!" bellowing his demand, he pointed the gun he was holding at anyone.Scurrying away from the possible indiscriminate firing, everyone in the ER tries to hide while patients lay quiet on their beds, covering their heads with pillows.Doctors and nurses were afraid to attend to hi
Graduation rites. It was supposed to be just a simple celebration of the success of students in their chosen craft. However, with the wife of the famous CEO and Mafia Boss on the graduation list, the university looks like a battlefield. Not to mention the crowd of media personnel at the sides who are covering the event upon knowledge of the CEO's presence with his entire family. Fully armed security in black suits swarmed the campus while the ceremony is ongoing. Though the university staff, parents, guests, and students are all anxious about their presence, everyone is bewildered by the spectacle. It's not every day such a show happens in the university. Adding to the fact that they have the chance to have a glimpse of the four famous heirs and their equally famous parents.The entire Wright family has arrived to attend Lia's graduation ceremony together with the little man in Alek Vasili's arms. Eric Carlos. As famous personalities, every eye was on them since their entrance. It
"Will it be okay here?" she seductively asks while pulling his arm to face her. "Everything for you, my love" he mumbles, standing in front of her while she remains in her seat. "You got a go from your doctor?" he added. "Yes" trailing her index outside the bulge of his pants, she enticingly smiles.Inhaling deep, his breath becomes raggedly heavy with what she was doing. His perfect-fit pants is now rather tight on the crotch area after the monster inside reacted to her gentle ministration."It's awake, baby" with a contended smile, she whispers while winking at him."Yes, it is" he breathily replies. His eyes never left hers while she slowly unbuckle his belt. His heart is pounding hard with the anticipation of what Amelia would do. He didn't wait long after her expert hands open the package dying to be freed. Its huge size becomes prominent as it crowds the inside of the skimpy cloth covering it. "I still can't believe how was I be able to take you with this size" she mumbles
A week after the incident, Amelia Stepanov-Wright has become the household talk in the country after taking down the robbers and saving the hostages' lives.Footage of how she promptly assaulted the men has been all over the news and it earned different reactions. Most are bewildered by her skill with a gun. Like the officers, no one had expected such a frail and innocent-looking girl could pull out such mastery. Being associated with the Wrights and Petrov instantly secured her a spot in society, however, seeing her other side earned her a new and distinct reputation. The fierce wife of the Mafia Boss. Contrary to her previous status of being a stray cat, everyone now has a clear perspective of who she is. Her presence has never left unnoticed. Everybody seems to be going out of their way to interact with her. Even her met glance affects those who try to have her attention. Like a celebrity, she walks under the limelight of everyone's admiring attention."Should we set a tariff for
Vasili arrives in just walking shorts and a white V-neck t-shirt and slippers. And the first he tries to find is his wife whom he found hugging a child while rounded by her security.Since he left the mansion, he has been watching the news and he witnessed the entire negotiation. However, he has been apprehensive and preoccupied with finding his wife, which he hasn't found not until the man holding the girl was taken down. He instantly knew his wife was responsible. And he was proven right when she came out from hiding, aiming for the remaining four. With all the media people taking footage of the incident, everything was captured through the lens of every camera. The public has witnessed how a frail-looking girl has deterred the impending tragedy. Saving the life of the small girl who is on the verge of death at the hands of the criminals. And it won't be long before the populace would realize, who she is. Everyone would know, she is his wife. Nevertheless, he doesn't care. Amel
As expected, the robbers went out to the waiting police officers across the exit. Media personnel is afar together with the curious crowd. "Shit" they all mutter. One of them got hold of the cashier with the gun pointed at her side. "Please..." she quivers in fear. "Nothing will happen to you if these bastards here will just cooperate with us" the man snickers. "This is Captain Seville, let's talk" one of the officers speaks with his hands raised in the air. He is making certain the robbers know he is unarmed. "We don't need pleasantries Captain. We need a vehicle" the man jeers. "The vehicle is being prepared, it will arrive any minute" calmly, he explains. "We don't have a minute. A minute passed, also a bullet for these two here" snickering, he retorted. The crazed look in his eyes was noted by the Captain. "Don't hurt the innocent, it would be a grave mistake" calm yet firm, the officer warned. "I don't fucking care. Where's the vehicle?" he sneers before he angrily raves.
With the robbers' attention focused on the officers and how they could hide from them, Lia quietly sneaked in between the tables.Until she reached the wall separating the restroom from the main room, no one from the assailants noticed her. She moves without disturbing the air along the way. A true-blooded Stepanov, without shadow in the dark and without footprints on any ground. It's a perfect afternoon that turned out bloody. People hiding from whatever could conceal them have started to gather outside, watching the scene from the glass wall. Media people have started to arrive, getting footage through their high-resolution cameras. Peeking to find the five men hiding at the counter, she has no clear sight of them but the two small feet hanging from the man's grasp of the child. Her security remain unmoving on their spot but was ready to assist her, while Caleb remains to hug Cristy with his back facing the counter. "Get out of here or I will finish this girl first and her broth
