Kiara:
Arriving to the Estate was never this hectic.
But then again, I was never this broken going anywhere. I had regretted going to Moscow and finding out what I did, despite me not saying it out loud. But I knew that Alessio could tell that I eventually just wanted everything to end. Thankfully, he didn’t dwell or pressure me on speaking about anything while we were there.
My heart ached whenever I thought of everything that I found out, and no matter how hard I tried not to think of it; I always found my mind going back to what I heard from Ashton. Ivan had not killed him when we went back to the hotel the next evening, and had waited for Alessio to do the honor. But Ashton had other plans, he wanted ME to be the one shooting him, I couldn’t do it.
I looked at the gun which was in Alessio’s hand and shook my head at him, I didn’t want the man’s blood on my hands, no matter how much I hated him. Alessio respected my decisi
Alessio:I woke up with Kiara laying on top of me on my mom’s couch.My right arm was wrapped around her while my left was under my head as I slept.The two of us spent hours talking in this room, and one way or the other, we ended up dozing off on the couch.I smiled at the sight of my beauty and tightened my arm around her making her stir in her sleep before she opened her eyes to look at me. She smiled when her eyes caught my own, and I cupped her cheek bringing her closer to me as to kiss her lips. She smiled into the kiss before pulling away to look me in the eye.“Please don’t tell me you spent the whole night awake?” Kiara teased and I laughed. I didn’t blame her though, the first time she broke down back in Moscow after we killed Ashton, she fell asleep due to exhaustion while I spent the whole night awake. I shook my head and she laid her head on my chest, just over my beating heart.I didn’t even
Kiara:My heart raced against my ribcage as I heard the three words escape Alessio’s lips.Partly because I’ve been feeling the same for a while, an even longer while than before we started dating, and partly because I didn’t expect to hear them from him. Knowing who he was, I didn’t expect him to have a soft side for me to begin with when I met him, him falling in love with me was the last thing I could have ever thought of.He ran his fingers over my lower back as he looked me in the eye, his eyes filled with love, admiration, and understanding “you don’t have to say it back, malyshka. I wanted to say it as to let you know that you’re not alone…”I stopped Alessio by kissing him, I realized that I had taken him by surprise as it took him a few seconds to kiss me back. His palm cupping my cheek as he wrapped his left arm around me, bringing me closer and deepening the kiss. The two of us pulled away
Alessio:“What’s the problem, Ivan?” I asked my friend who had called both me and Kiara from the stable.It’s been three months since I brought her horse for her.The two of us have been going to the stable on a daily basis.“Yeah, I think it’s more than just a minor problem” Ivan said showing both me and Kiara the security camera which was at the front gate of the Estate. Both Kiara and I frowned in confusion when we noticed the man who was trying to get inside, the security men must have called Ivan about the stranger who was trying to enter the house.“How?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion.“He must have kept the location of the Estate for when he was tracking your phone” Ivan said looking at Kiara who ran her fingers through her hair. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her temple “what are we going to do?”“Alessio, we can’t let him in
Kiara:I walked out of the Estate with Natasha by my side. My heart racing against my ribcage as I feared what was to come, and despite not wanting to admit it; I was not ready to confront my father. I knew that my emotions would end up getting the best of me.“Relax” Natasha whispered to me. I nodded at her and was thankful that she had come with me, I wouldn’t have been able to face him alone, I just knew it.She had refused to let me go alone, and Ivan even threatened to lock her up in the bedroom. She eventually won the argument when she told him that he would be sleeping on the couch for a week, the living room couch might I add. That was something that had him give in almost instantly, and Alessio didn’t put up much of a fight anyway, it wasn’t like he was okay with me going to begin with. I knew that if it were up to him, I would be staying miles away from dad. But the man is still my father, and taking it that he doesn&rsquo
Alessio:I paced around the hall in front of the infirmary room.“What the fuck happened? Why is there blood in front of the Estate’s gate? And what are you guys doing here?” Dad asked walking into the hall. His eyes were wide in surprise seeing us all sitting here in front of the infirmary door. His eyes caught sight of me and the worry in my eyes made him frown as his eyes searched the room for us.Me, Arda, Alexandra, Ivan, Natasha, Grace, and Thomas were all sitting while we waited. Dad’s eyes met mine for a second before he shook his head at me, looking at the infirmary room’s door “who’s inside the room, Alessio?”Artur’s eyes met mine and I shook my head at him, it hurt me needing to tell this to him. He had just started getting close, him finding out that she got shot too, that there is a slight risk on her life would drive him crazy. Especially since the man who had shot her almost shot his so
Kiara:Opening my eyes has never been this hard.The world felt like it was spinning, but I forced my eyes to open.“Take it easy, baby” I heard Alessio whisper to me. His lips kissed my knuckle which he ran his thumb over softly.I looked at him to find a weak smile on his face, one which concerned me as I tried to adjust to the dim light. I turned my hand in his and intertwined our fingers making him smile before he stood up and kissed my forehead. He pressed the nurse button beside my head before cupping my cheeks softly to kiss my lips. His lips gentle over mine as if he were to break me if he added anymore force.“How are you feeling?” Alessio asked and I rolled my eyes.“Like some tractor is walking on top of me, waiting for me to make a move for it to break every bone in my body” I said tiredly. I tried sitting up but Alessio put his hands on my shoulders, stopping me.“The wound is sti
Alessio: “It seems like we have a common enemy” I said calmly. We were currently at the Clinton Correctional Facility. The man, Nico De Luca, had been put in this prison by none other than Kyle Anderson. “What’s in it for me, Alessio?” Nico asked. His brown eyes meeting my blue ones, fear was known to surround him wherever he went, literally. He was a man of power, that much was known about him. What his deeds were was something that didn’t concern me at the moment, all I knew was that he loathed Kyle with every living cell he had in his system. “You get to watch the man die…” “And you?” “I don’t think that it concerns you” I said crossing my arms over my chest. He raised an eyebrow, the scar which was on his eye made him look a whole lot more intimidating. But frankly, I was one who was used to all the crap the world had, the bullets that I’ve taken were ones that risked my life more than once. Ivan who was standing behind me
Kiara:Artur and I have been walking around the garden for the past ten minutes now.Neither one of us has said a word since, and despite Alessio’s opinion, Artur believed that me going out to walk for a bit would be good for me. He heard from Alessio and Ivan about what happened last week, me being quiet about it hasn’t fooled him into believing that I wasn’t upset about it.“I was thinking that we could go out for you to get some fresh air, maybe cheer you up. But it seems like you’re still on mute” Artur teased and I smiled. He looped his arm with my own and I put my hand over his “you know that we are here for you Kiara”“I do, Artur, it just hurts I guess; I don’t know what to or how to feel about everything that I’m learning about myself. I mean, sure, part of me is grateful that I’m hearing about this, that I’m not living in some lie, but part of me…”
