All Chapters of Destined to Reign: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)“So, what do you want to do now?” Alessandro asked.We were currently in the limo as the driver drove around aimlessly as per Alessandro’s request. I could tell he wanted to take care of me and make sure I was okay. When we got into the limo, we simply sat in silence as I recollected myself. It took a while for me to come to, but when I did was grateful that Alessandro gave me some space to do just that.“Would you like to go home? I would understand if you would prefer to just be alone after what happened.” Alessandro spoke again.I looked at him and he was looking down at his lap as he toyed with his fingers nervously. I could tell that he was nervous and really want to hang out with me but was putting his feelings aside to adhere to my comfort instead.I smiled in appreciation and shook my head.“I do believe I owe you a date Mr. Petrov as you did just pay thre

Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.) I did not want to admit this, but this was my very first time at a carnival. Sure, I was not getting the full experience which included the crowds and loud noises, but I was already having fun with Alessandro.I hopped onto his back without a warning, almost making both of us toppling to the ground. I made sure to wrap my legs around Alessandro’s waist and my arms were automatically wrapped around his neck.“Do not choke me. I like oxygen more than I like having you on top of me.”We both laughed and he carried us over to the first ride. The Ferris wheels. I always saw these in the movies. They looked like fun.“How about this first?” Alessandro asked.I nodded and climbed off of him. We got into the ride and waited for the guy at the station to start the ride. The poor fella looked tired as hell. I could tell that he resisted the urge to sigh before he ap

Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I was almost at the office now and I deeply considered calling Alessandro to see if he wanted anything to eat. Though it is already nine o’clock so I could only assume that he had eaten breakfast. Besides, I sort of did not want to stop to get anything, I just really wanted to get to the office to scope out the scene there since the last time I was at the head office, everyone ignored me and treated me badly. Now that I am sort of acquainted with his back, I would hope that everything would be a little different.Finally, I could see the building and I drove up to it quickly and entered the garage. It was jammed pack in here. I began to drive around in circles looking for a parking spot. When I got to the top level of the garage, I saw Alessandro’s car and beside it was an empty parking space. Excited and relieved, I drove up to it, only to see a cone occupying the space. In front of the cone, however, was a plaque

Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)It is about the end of the workday for Alessandro and me. I had a really great day today. As my first day on the job, I could honestly say that I found the correct work environment for myself. Everyone respected me a lot, here at work and it was not the type of respect that came as a result of dictatorship, it came from pure democracy. I was charismatic, and respectful myself toward my work colleagues and even made a couple of friends.After Alessandro gave me a tour of the office, we dove into work straight away. Work did not feel like work, rather it felt relaxing and fun. Although the workload was a bit heavy, I did not feel overwhelmed by the pressure at all, and I took my time as I continued to work so that I could produce quality content. When lunchtime came around, Alessandro and I were both too busy with work to even consider going out to eat, so we simply made a meal out of whatever we could use from the fridge. Thank

Isla Kalshnikov (P.O.V.) I continued running until I saw the makeshift forest ahead of me. It always made me wonder how the magic of the forest did not die with my parents, but I guess now I have the answer. They were never dead.I could run through there and risk getting lost by myself or I could follow the road and hope that Dimitri has some sort of common sense in him to not attack me in public.While I kept on running, I thought about what I should do. However, before I could make up my mind, I was tackled to the ground. Thankfully, the soft lawn under me was enough to break my fall.“We got a runner folks. Did you honestly think you could get away from me?” Dimitri asked as he weighed his body down on mine to keep me from getting up.I grunted as I struggled to lift his body to get him off of me.
