KAIRO It seemed to sour his mood. He wasn't sure he should be happy hearing her denial or was sad. 'I want her fear. She already does. And pleasure! She will soon agree to it.' He halted his strides as he saw Rose waiting for Liam. Her stomach was round. She was rubbing her hand on it absentmindedly. He shook his head. He didn't want Ariana to wait for him in this condition. His thoughts shocked him. He pushed them away and drifted his steps toward the couch. "Shouldn't you rest?" He asked her, towering over her. She glanced at him with sad eyes. He frowned, "Are you alright?" He asked, worriedly. He wasn't bothered to show it over his face. "I wanna go out for a walk on the grass." She said with a smile. Then her gaze turned to Vanessa, her bodyguard. She thinned her lips in annoyance, "She doesn't allow me," Her irritation could be felt in her voice. He chuckled as he glanced over at her bodyg
ARIANA She was still staring at the door when Cody and Selena burst through the door. Their laughter echoed in the room. She opened her mouth but stopped when Rose walked in, "Rose, you should send someone..." She said. Rose shook her head with a smile. Her hand was on her round stomach. "We're going out. NGO. Would you like to join us?" She asked. "We're going to meet our friends, Aunt," Selena squealed happily. Cody held her hand, "Will you come to meet our friends, Aunt?" He asked, looking up at him with innocent eyes. "Of course," She nodded immediately and caressed his cheek. "If you don't wanna go. You can deny me." Rose said. "No, I will come. Thank you for inviting me. I'll experience something new," "We will see a cartoon movie," Cody jumped on his feet twice. "Cody, grandma said we can't jump around momma. She can fall." Selena put her hands on her hip. No one could stop
She watched her feet in the water. She wiggled her toes. 'I would be glad if my parents had taught me to be a good friend.' The laughter didn't slip from their faces for a second. They love each other, they don't need to say it. ' I'm feeling empty. I'm beautiful, people have praised me at every party Capo and my father has thrown.' She pulled her hand through the lock of her blond hair and wiggled her toes. She was feeling alone. Her phone buzzed. Her face erupted with a huge smile. She answered immediately, "Sal, how are you and mom!" She asked enthusiastically. "We are fine. We're just worried about you." Her brother was her only friend, "I miss you," She said with a sad note in her voice. Her smile vanished. They didn't make her feel alone for a second, "I watched a cartoon movie with a lot of kids today. An enormous hall filled with kids. I ate popcorn, drank a cold drink, and laughed at some kids' jokes too. I know. It's unb
She stared off into the darkness blankly, it was past midnight. She glanced at the door back. She was looking in the same direction after every ten minutes and found no one standing there. She took a deep breath and pressed her head against the couch head. 'He should come. What's taking him so long? Is there another attack? I would have known from the guards outside of the door. ' She shuddered at the thought of a knife piercing through her delicate skin. The door opened softly. Her head jerked at the door, alarmingly. He slanted a look at her. His brows furrowed, "Why are you up? It's too late." His voice was crude. "I didn't notice. I was just worried... " She trailed. His expression was steeled, " Worried!" He snorted, "Or waiting for my death news," He smirked. Her body shivered with the intensity of his sarcasm, "I would never want this. You know that," She retorted immediately, her eyes widened with shock. Sadness engulfed her
She returned from the washroom and her gaze caught sight of a square baby pink box. Puzzled! She strode over it. Her heart began to slam in her ribcage, her hands began to shake. She bolted toward the door and locked it. With trembling hands, she reached for the top drawer and pulled out the gun. "I know, you're here." She swallowed a heavy lump scanning the room with dreadful eyes. Taking steps forward, she looked behind the curtains. Her eyes turned glassy as she tried to control the fear she had fought her entire time. 'He can't reach here. The security is tight around. But someone tried to attack yesterday. There could be someone from security. But before I get to any conclusion. I need to make sure what was lying in the box. Grasping the gun in her hand, she picked up the box. Her gaze darted to the possible spots from where he could attack her. She tore the shiny baby pink wrapper. That was her favorite color but not after she
She found herself lying under the comforter. She woke up with a jerk after another nightmare. Beads of sweat tickled on her forehead. She embraced the comforter more closely. Pushing herself up, she smoothed her hair. Her gaze drifted around the room. It was empty. The fear confiscated her. Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her emotions. She shivered and let out a shriek. She glanced at the nightstand. She froze when she saw a pink paper on the nightstand next to her ringing phone. She was looking at the paper with shocked eyes. Another jolt of fear made her heartbeat skip when she heard the click of the door. Her head swiveled toward the door. Sweat trailed down her neck to her forehead. She saw a pink frill and a familiar smiling face came into view, "Did you like my drawing?" Selena asked with a broad grin on her face. She spun to the nightstand and dragged the pink paper with her shivering hand. She saw color pens on the
KAIRO "I'm very serious, Kairo," Salvatore said, clenching his teeth. His wry smirk deepened, "I'm very serious, too. Spill!" He ordered. "I'll cut your balls. If you share a single word with Ria and try to hurt her," He snorted with a deep frown. His smirk remained on his face, "Underline my words in your brain. I won't hurt. My. Wife," His gaze turned penetrated. Salvatore nodded and averted his gaze from his intense gaze, "She was sixteen. When she started to get slurry notes. She didn't sleep all night, just crying and frightened to be alone." A long exhale left his body. He arched his brows. She was scared last night. But it was also impossible when he was head of security. 'Then it wasn't a nightmare. She lied. I knew it when she couldn't look into my eyes. I couldn't get time to look in deeply. She's my liability. He didn't need to know the timing. ' "Your Capo couldn't catch him. He's still alive out ther
A smile spread across her face, recalling her conversation with her husband. She opened the door and stopped as many sets of eyes turned to her. She stood there holding her breath, looking at them with big eyes. "Hello, ma'am." A tall and lean woman walked ahead. Her short blonde hair was tucked in a ponytail. Her black suit was loose on her slim body, "I'm Rachel Martin, your personal bodyguard." She said. Her mouth gaped, "Who appointed you?" She asked. "Sir Kairo." She slightly bowed her head. Her face was unreadable. She took a deep breath and drifted toward the stairs. She heard footsteps and stopped near the stairs. She spun, "Are you following me the entire day? I'm..." She was about to say more but halted. 'I don't know how he put the box in the bedroom. It will work in my favor.' She nodded and turned to the stairs again. The hall was silent in the morning. She strode toward the kitchen. Ana and Isha were cooking. Rose was
