Kiara:
“Has anyone seen Alessio? And please tell me the man didn’t go out to kill someone” I asked Ivan, Natasha, and Katerina.
Katerina was Natasha’s mum, I had learned from Arda that she took care of them after their mother had died. She was their second mum, and I could see the love and respect they all had for the woman.
“No, Alessio wouldn’t be killing anyone tonight. I assume he went to his mom’s study room” Ivan said and I nodded walking up to my room. Well, at least a one night break was in order.
Walking toward my room, my eyes caught sight of Alessio who was indeed I his mum’s study, however, he wasn’t inside the study. He was in the Veranda, his arms crossed over his chest as he stood there in front of the rail and looked up the sky. My eyes softened at the sight of the man and I walked toward my room getting a blanket and walking toward the study room. I knew that he didn’t like
Alessio:“Don’t worry, dad, I really am fine” I heard Kiara say as she spoke to her dad. The door to her bedroom was open as she spoke to him “alright, take care of yourself, yeah?”“Okay, we’ll talk soon, bye” I heard her say before she hung up and put the phone on her bed.“So, which is it this time? Am I asleep, sick, or mentally unstable?” I asked in a teasing tone making Kiara laugh.“First, hi, second, you know that I hate lying to him. But imagine him finding out about me working with a mafia man rather than a child? The man would get a heart attack before I’m even done with the sentence” Kiara said bending down to fix her heels.“Fair enough” I chuckled. I watched as she stood up and looked at herself in the mirror before turning around to face me.“How do I look?” She asked.“Like I’m going to have to beat up abou
Kiara:“You know, for a small woman, you really can hold down your liquor” Alessio teased as the bartender brought the seventh shot to our table.The two of us drowned down the shots and I jumped in excitement before leaning over my arm to look at Alessio who was smirking at me. The two of us have been going at this for a while now, and as reckless as it was. The two of us were enjoying it “hold down my liquor? I am not even drunk, Mr. Aslanov”Alessio chuckled and ran his finger over my jawline just as the bartender brought in the next round of shots. This time Alessio shook his head and I raised an eyebrow “is this a surrender that I’m witnessing?”“No, this is preventing my gorgeous beauty from getting knocked out” Alessio teased and I laughed. The fact that he’s been claiming me as his own throughout the whole night hasn’t escaped my mind. But I was making sure to not show him the excit
Alessio:“What now, boss?” Ivan asked dad who was sitting on his desk. Having found trace of the men who have been trying to sabotage out business for months, it was finally time to take action against them.“Well, we can start by giving you guys permission to do what you do best” dad said making me frown in confusion “track them down, and kill them”“What about Kiara?” I asked raising an eyebrow. Me and the woman may have a thing between us, but he did hire her to stop us from getting into such trouble.“I will be dealing with her. I’ll let her know that it was something that I authorized, this has to be done and it has to be done quickly” dad said and I nodded. Artur raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head, raising a questioning eyebrow.“Need we ask, where Kiara is to begin with? I know for fact that she isn’t at home, and you two never came home to begin with last
Kiara:“So, do you want to tell me where you’re taking me?” I asked Alessio raising an eyebrow at him. He smirked and wrapped his arm around me. The two of us were inside the car while Lyov drove us off to wherever Alessio has decided to want to take me.“Well, I would; but it wouldn’t be a surprise if I did, now would it?” Alessio asked in a teasing tone which made me smile. Shaking my head to answer Alessio, I laid my head over his beating heart. To say that I was lucky would be an understatement. Knowing that he trusted me with something that was as valuable as the pendant that I was wearing, something that belonged to his mum, it made me feel special. I didn’t know how to describe what I was feeling, but I was grateful that he had let his walls down.Lyov came to a stop in front of a restaurant which made me look up at Alessio who ran his finger over my arm. He was looking out the window, clearly focused on us arrivi
Alessio:The alarm’s ringing woke me up. Knowing that last night was a long one, I had to resolve to putting an alarm as not to wake up at noon.I extended my arm to turn it off only to smile at the sleeping woman who was laying her head on my chest, just over my beating heart.I ran my fingers through her messed up curls, twirling my finger in a strand, and softly untangling her hair as I went on. She didn’t stir for a second, and I knew that it wasn’t just the alcohol’s effect.She felt safe, she knew that I wouldn’t harm her, she trusted me, and that was something that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Never in my life did I think that a woman trusting me was going to bring me such comfort, just remembering how she had trusted me with opening up to me, knowing that I could easily crush her but trusting that I wouldn’t hurt a hair on her if I could prevent it; it was something that brought me contentment.&
Kiara:I woke up with a headache that could match a migraine.I massaged my temple and sat up to check my phone, my eyes widened when I saw that it was a while past noon. I forced myself out of the bed and walked out of the bedroom to find the suite oddly quiet. I frowned in confusion when I saw Alessio sitting on the couch, his arm spread on the couch’s backrest, a drink in his hand.“Alessio?” I asked frowning in confusion. He didn’t even turn to face me as he hummed in response “is everything alright?”“Yes, why?” Alessio asked. His voice cold and void of emotion, it reminded me of when I first came to the house and he was doing his best to annoy his father.“Did something happen? You told me that you would wake me up in an hour, but...”“I didn’t think that it was important to wake you. You needed to sleep” Alessio said and I frowned. I walked toward him and sa
Alessio:It was hours before we heard the baby’s cry. We have been standing in front of the door waiting for the baby’s voice before we walked out. Natasha had stopped yelling eventually. But we were yet to hear anything else.Our eyes widened and Ivan rushed inside the bathroom, all of us following behind to find Kiara’s shirt filled with blood as she handed Natasha her baby. Both women smiled at one another before Kiara squeezed Natasha’s shoulder.Ivan walked toward Natasha who smiled at him. He kissed her forehead before he looked at his newborn child. A smile growing on his face as he caught sight of the little creature. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Kiara’s smile soon faded when she looked at me and she lowered her gaze to the ground as she attempted to walk toward the door.“Kiara?” Natasha’s call stopped her. Kiara turned to face Natasha who held her baby with one arm, extending her l
Kiara:I left the Estate not stopping for anyone who questioned where I was going.The fact that Alessio was following me wasn’t something that I missed. But I didn’t want to speak to him, and therefore, I didn’t bother stopping no matter how many times he called me.Well, that was until he wrapped his arms around my waist and forced me to stop just a few blocks away from the house. His eyes met mine and I could swear that I saw regret in them, something which I have never seen in his eyes. However, what was happening was his fault, I didn’t just go on ahead leaving because I wanted to. They had accused me of something which I wouldn’t do, something that I wouldn’t have think of doing.“Let me go, Alessio” I snapped and he glared at me. His eyes studying my expression before he lifted me over his shoulder “ALESSIO!”“Yes, Kiara?”“PUT ME DOWN!” I yelled hitti
