All Chapters of Alyona : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“You can, but you know I’m right, right?” Xara said to her daughter as she walked into the kitchen behind her. Elon had married, and Giada and Jaxon were off to college. Aly had built a solid brand for herself, and over the years, she had been able to achieve her dreams. Her brand was one of the most recognized in Jersey City, NJ. Ever since her father died, Aly hasn't been interested in any relationships. She spent most of her time building her brand, which is now successful. What was left now was for her to get a man in her life because she wasn’t getting any younger. “Know what, Ma?” She rubbed her temples, waiting for a response, knowing full well what her mother was trying to say. She knew she needed a man, but the question was, who? Most of these men were egoistic, rude, and annoying, and they weren’t ready for any serious commitment. She didn’t want that for herself. She wanted more. A love like her parents own or something similar. “You need a man, Aly.” Xara pointed it

“ Hey, you.”“ Hi, did I keep you waiting?” he asked, sitting at their table.“ Um…”"Waiter, can we get the menu?” He cut her off before she could complete her sentence.She really liked him but was getting fed up with the way he always treated her. She understood he wasn’t ready for love yet, but that didn’t give him the opportunity to treat her badly. “ You know what? I’m sick and tired of you treating me like some piece of trash. I did you no wrong, yet you treat me like a nobody. You’re a great guy deep down, and I know it. I’ve tried Calvin; you know I have, yet you keep pushing me away and treating me like trash, and I’ve had enough of it.” Kimora said as she picked up her bag.“ I know you’re afraid and still hurting, but you need to heal. If you do and you still want me, you know where to find me. Until then, it’s see you later,” she gave him a peck on his cheek and walked away, leaving him wondering what had just happened.“Are you ready to order, sir?”“ Yes , yes, get me

"Alyona, hi. I wasn't expecting you at all. Come in." Kimora ushered her into the house. " I came bearing gifts," she said, handing her a bouquet and the latest YVL bag in a box. " Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much. Care for some wine?" Kimora asked, putting her gifts away. " Yes, yes, a bottle of Moscatto will do, please." Alyona smiled at her. She was impressed by the interior decor of Kimora's home. There was no doubt that she had great taste. " Have you heard from Bazyli? " Kimora asked, pouring a glass of wine for Aly and herself. " Yeah, he said he would be coming back this weekend," she smiled. She couldn't wait to see him. This had been the most boring and slowest three weeks ever. " Awesome" " Enough of Bazyli. Is there anyone you're seeing at the moment?" Alyona's question caught Kim off guard, making her hesitate before answering her. " Not at the moment, but there's someone I like; unfortunately, he doesn't feel the same way." She tried to mask her pain. “ Can I know

Alyona moved her fingers across the face of her muse, blending and arranging her colors with the skill of an experienced artist. She was unaware of the passing of time, concentrating solely on capturing the beauty of the subject. She was about to launch her newest product, a makeup line that was set to revolutionize the beauty industry. The anticipation was intense, yet Alyona persevered, her creativity thriving amid chaos. Kim had been scheduled to be the muse for the session; however, an unexpected event caused her to cancel, and Alyona, recognizing the urgency of the situation, quickly found a new muse. "Someone's extra busy today," the voice teased, its playful tone hinting at a familiar presence. Alyona turned to see who was speaking, her heart skipping a beat as she recognized the familiar face.It had been three weeks and some days since she had seen him—three weeks and some days of missing his company, his presence, and his all-too-familiar cologne. He was the last person s

"Surprise!" exclaimed Xara as Elon and his pregnant wife entered the house. While Elon appreciated the company Xara had arranged, he knew some adjustments were in order.Ida greeted Xara with a side hug, saying, "You look gorgeous as always.""Thank you, you're glowing too," Xara replied, assisting her daughter-in-law to sit. "Do you both want anything?""Ma, some orange juice would be perfect," Elon requested, and Rita went off to fetch it.As they settled, Elon inquired about Xara's travels. "I've had a great time exploring the world," she shared, smiling. Rita returned with a jug of orange juice and three glasses before excusing herself.Elon then broached a serious topic. "We need a favor from you, actually. With Kayden's nanny not being sufficient, and the new baby on the way, we could use your help. We thought you might stay with us for a while."Curious, Xara asked, "What kind of favor? Do you need my help with something?"Ida, sipping her juice, replied, "Yes. We need your help
