MasukMaya’s pov~ A soft pat on my cheek followed by the echo of a resounding slap on the cheek, woke me up instantly.I was groggy and still dizzy, but the slap was enough to stimulate me back into reality.“Good, she’s up” I heard a young woman’s husky voice say.I blink my eyes awake, where am i, i was lying on soft padding but I could tell I was on the floor.“Is she awake yet?” Another softer voice asked.“Yes yes she is, thank God, I thought she was dead” the husky woman stated.“Yeah, we won’t want you rotting and ruining the air now.” I looked around, eyes looking back at me, “Where am I? Who are.. " You,” I groaned in pain, I touched the back of my head.Dry, thankfully no blood but I swear I hit the wall so bad I thought I died.“You need to get yourself together, I don't know where they found you, but if you don't get it together you are getting chopped for shark bait” the husky woman said.The thought of it shook me back to reality, “What? Oh my God! Alek! Alek!” A woman quick
ALEK’S POV~“Sir! We got him” That’s all I could hear before gradually coming back to my senses.The first thought that flew past my mind was my wife STILL in her white bra and panties.Anger welled inside me, who the fuck are these guys ruining my wedding night?“Put him on the phone!” the other man yelled through the mask he wore, I felt my weak body get flung into a van and almost immediately the van moved into the main road.I heard gunshots behind me before the driver luckily screeched down the road.“Fuck! We got off!” the driver announced. Slowly, my eyes started to function, the smoke had cleared and now the air was breathable.My body was still weak but I could feel my legs, “shit tie him up! Do you know who the fuck we just snagged?” the driver yelled again, the two other men quickly zip-tied my arms and legs.“Now I'm gonna put you on the phone okay? Any strange sudden movement and I'm gonna knock you the fuck out” I nodded.I needed time to fully regain myself, I felt lik
Maya’s pov~ That night as Alex threw me onto his bed, I quickly scampered for the pillows as a fortress between us. “You think that’s going to save you from what I'm going to do to you?” He asked with a grin, his arms on his hips and he laughed. “What are you going to do to me?” I asked, frightened. I hadn't had time to ask around why he had been tagged the most dangerous man in Estonia. My husband was huge in form, his feet were grounded and it felt like he could stump a man to death with one fatal blow. He always had his eye patch on, specifically covering the right side of his face, why does he hide half his face all the time? I watched him slowly unbutton his shirt, “So you were hoping for Kevin then, something tells me, that way you are staring at me right now, is not the way you’d hoped for the night to go down” he smiled. Wickedly. He took off the shirt and threw it on the arm chair, he walked closer to the bed, my husband terrified me. “Maya, come over here,” he instru
Maya’s pov~ The nurse’s voice was shrill, almost like she was too terrified to tell me what was going on. “There’s been a complication following a brief procedure,” the nurse explained carefully. “She’s stable for now, but we still need authorisation for the remaining treatment expenses as well as the transplant .” Tears burned my eyes immediately. No. Please don't let my friend die. “I’ll pay it, expect the check by tonight” I said quickly, voice breaking. “Please just don’t stop helping her.” The nurse hesitated softly, then paused a long time before she continued. “It seems the Harrington account has just approved the charges.” I froze, h…How, I haven't even said I Do. My gaze lifted slowly toward Aleksandr, He was already watching me. His expression was unreadable. Almost like he knew exactly what that phone call meant. He knew that Kate was the ball and chain keeping me here. A painful lump rose in my throat. A sham marriage. “Thank you, I’ll come see her soon,” I w
Maya’s pov~ “Are you ready to do my bidding?” The old man’s slow, raspy voice echoed through the chamber, curling around me like smoke. I stayed quiet. The kind of quiet that gave my thoughts room to scream. Why am I doing this? The answer came almost immediately. Kate. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to remember why I’d walked into this nightmare in the first place. Kate had stood beside me when nobody else would. When my world collapsed, she’d held the pieces together with bleeding hands and trembling smiles. And now it was my turn. Even if it destroyed me. “Yes,” I finally whispered. The old man smiled from his throne-like chair inside the courthouse office. When he rose, he was quickly assisted by his grandsons to rest on his cane. The Harrington family lawyer standing nearby, organised papers with the precision of a man used to cleaning up disasters for rich people. “Good girl,” the old man murmured. The words made my stomach twist, it disgusted me. Whoever my husba
Aleksandr’s pov~ 72 hours before the plane crash>>>>>>>> “No, Alek! I'm not going to let that gold digger into our lives! You know she wants money right that's why she’s here” Petra’s voice was tense, I could tell if I didn't give in to anything she says right now she’s going to ruin everything I've been planning. “Babe you need to relax” I stated before pulling her back to the bed. “Im not having it Alek! If your grandfather wants grandchildren with her useless bloodline, your older brother is just as available! Why is he making her choose between you both… she….” She paused before turning to me. “Alek what are you up to?” I shrugged before laying her head on the pillow. “Nothing, my grandfather is old and crazy, you know how he makes my brother and me compete for his affection, this is probably another ruse” She glared at me, a blank face. “Oh really,” she asked, pouting with annoyance. I kissed her pouting lips, which seemed to do the trick. “Alek I don't like this, I don
