Kiara:
Grace and I walked through the mall while the men prepared the watch that I had bought for Alessio.
It being his birthday, I didn’t want the day to go without a celebration. The man has been doing so much for me, the least I could do for him is give him a birthday that he would remember, at least between the two of us.
“What do you have planned for him though? I haven’t seen you doing anything that implied that it was his birthday?” Grace asked. I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose. Things have been harder lately with the Dragonetti family and what my parents have done. I knew that whatever I planned, Alessio would be against for security reasons.
“It would be a simple thing between him and I, I can’t risk planning anything with the Arda case, not to mention mum, and…”
“Sienna” Grace said and I nodded. I still didn’t understand what her issue with Alessio was, but even see
Alessio:I smiled at the sight of my beauty who was sleeping peacefully on my bicep as I laid on my back.Her back faced me, exposing its bareness for my eyes, and I couldn’t help but smile at the memories of the previous night. She had made sure to remind me that I was hers in every possible way, and I couldn’t say that I didn’t love every second of it.I slowly raised myself and kissed her bare shoulder before I pulled the blanket over her body, covering her. I checked my watch before getting out of bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, my body feeling regenerated after our long night.I debated whether or not to get back into bed, but decided against it considering the fact that today was our last day before all our employees go on holiday. I tended to give them an extra day off, and half a day today to go and prepare something for their families and themselves, not to mention the early double salary they got.I went to the bath
Kiara:“Bloody hell…” I whimpered coming undone under Alessio. His own body tensed before he released inside me. His eyes screwing shut as he rested his forehead against my own.He rode the two of us slowly, kissing my cheek as he did. His eyes opening to meet my own only for him to sigh when he noticed that my own eyes were cold and void of emotion.Despite my exhausted state, Alessio had done his take on me, I will admit, I couldn’t find myself being able to forget what I heard only hours ago. Alessio pulled out of me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to his chest. The feeling of insecurity coursed my veins. My heart ached as I imagined her taking him from me, and the funny part was; it would be my fault.I was the one who invited her here, bringing her to him, reminding him of what he felt toward her. Did he still feel anything toward her? Did he doubt marrying me? Was I only a replacement? Has he ever thought of tryin
Alessio:I wrapped my arms around Kiara, hugging her tightly “when did I get blessed with a beauty like yourself?”“The second your dad decided that you needed a babysitter” Kiara teased. I chuckled at her playfulness, thankful to see that side of her after her anger today, and though I knew that our argument wasn’t entirely over; I at least knew that this was a start.“I’ll go and see Sienna” I said putting my finger under my beauty’s chin. Her eyes met mine and I smiled when I saw that her expression was somewhat more relaxed than it had been an hour ago.“You skipped work today”“There was nothing that the employees can’t handle. Plus, Ivan was there too” I shrugged. Kiara shook her head and stood on her toes to wrap her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly.“I’m sorry” she whispered. I frowned in confusion and softly pushed her away,
Kiara:“I’m so sorry, princess” I heard Natasha tell Tatiana as she hugged her tightly “I’m so, so sorry”I walked inside her room and put my hand on her shoulder. Alessio was in his office giving his orders while he asked me to make sure that everything was okay inside the house. The pilot was already preparing the jet and has gotten permission to land in Italy, the only issue we had now was dealing with Christian whenever he arrives.Natasha jumped as I squeezed her shoulder in assurance, and I smiled in assurance, sitting beside her and hugging her “she’s fine, Natasha, she should be waking up soon”Natasha didn’t say a word as she hugged me back. We pulled away to look one another in the eye and I wiped her tears which fell from her eyes. Having checked on the kids, I was thankful that none of them was harmed, and that Daniella was safe in her aunt’s room.“I’ll go ch
Vladimir:I looked out the window as I counted the minutes for the plane to land. My men being armed and ready for any attack that may occur when we reached Italy. The fact that we were heading to a coward loin’s den was worrying enough; the man could have armed security everywhere. But we had no other option; I wasn’t going to leave a woman who came to me for assistance at their mercy.“Boss, I just traced them” Thomas said through the phone. I was thankful for being able to use my private line despite being on air “they just arrived to the Dragonetti Estate”“Thank you”“Anything else that I can do for you?” Thomas asked.“For now, no. Just be sure to keep Kiara and the kids safe, she would need you around her” I said trusting my wife’s best friend with her life. I knew that if something happened to me, she would at least have her friends by her side. Grace and Thomas w
Kiara:I smile at the sight of Daniella running to the living room toward the kids who were currently watching cartoons. Christian coming over has helped her at least. I can’t say much about me or the man, but I can say that he has helped calm the little girl down.“Easy, little one” I smiled getting down on my knees in front of her “what do you have here?”“Christian gave me sweets! Can I share them with Alexandra, Tatiana, and Viktor?” She asked, her eyes making me give in almost immediately. I cupped her cheek, and gave her a gentle kiss making her smile.“Of course, you can. But not too much, princess, I just prepared hot chocolate. So, don’t go too much on sweets, yeah?” I said gently. She nodded and smiled before rushing toward the kids. I sighed at the sight of Christian who just walked out the door. The man was planning on freezing himself. I was sure of that.I walked toward the k
Alessio:I watched as Dario kissed his brother’s forehead.His eyes saddening at the sight of his hero. I couldn’t even blame him for it, the man has always looked up to his brother; seeing him in this state wasn’t something that any of us liked.The doctor has checked on Sienna a while ago, and she has been laying on the couch since then. Not moving a muscle with each breath she took, her body looked drain, and her eyes void of life “Sienna, do you want to drink something?”She shook her head and I sighed taking a seat beside her. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to my chest, allowing her to let go of her pain. The four of us were at one of my safe houses, I had to call my best doctors to get here, and of course, my phone decided to die on me just as I tried calling my wife.“You need to compose yourself before we get home, Sienna, we can’t stay here much longer. Both Kiara and Christian would be
Kiara:I smiled at Daniella who pat the horses, one by one, giving them a carrot.“Did you call mamma?” She asked me and I smiled getting down on my knee in front of her “I haven’t heard from her since she left, and she usually calls me good night at least”“She will be coming back soon, princess. They weren’t going to be long anyway” I promised the little girl. My chest ached as the words left my mouth, I hadn’t heard from Alessio since he landed at Italy, and that was three days ago. I couldn’t even call him in fear of exposing him if he was sneaking in somewhere, but a painful feeling settled in my chest with each passing minute."Promise?""Didn’t Christian promise you that last night before bed?” I teased. As if on cue, Christian walked inside the stable alongside Grace whose smile was wide as she just returned from the hospital.“I promised what again?”
