The moment a small click was heard, the door was thrown open with a loud bang. Crystal backed away against a wall. Anxiety rolled her features in the form of sweat. The much-awaited doom is finally happening and she doesn’t have words to save herself. She will accept death rather than apologizing for the evening. It wasn’t her fault but his for leaving her side.

The light when fell on the Palacio of Romero, milky white color shined dazzlingly. It felt like the entire place has come to life, bathing in the affection of a silver ball at midnight.

He has finally arrived from business after two weeks. The air inside the mansion was tensed. The atmosphere reeked of wretchedness. The commotion on late Christine Romero's birthday was still fresh in everybody's mind. The outburst of Valerie was difficult to brush away. Since that day, the teen has refused to leave her room and gave a cold shoulder to Crystal. Maya’s virulent words were enough to fuel the deep hatred sown under Valerie's skin.

She shivered with each stroke he laid gently on her spine. Her eyes were closed now, drowned in a dreamless slumber. The exhaustion of days has finally gripped her bones hard. But there wasn’t an ounce of tiredness in his eyes. He got more provoked when she breathed irregularly. Every muscle in his body protested to be let loose. He was a heartless man, he knew. But never would he fill the life of his children with such darkness. He won’t bring them up with so much fear. He wants to see them mature in the same environment as his mother weaved years ago. Peaceful and warm. Looking down at her, he pursed his lips before kissing h

Nobody dared to question the Capo, aware of the fact of how important Volkov still was. His mere disappearance or sudden death could have caused an uproar in the silent lands of the underworld.

Now when she is not here, I feel hollow, stripped, and weak. Being with her made me feel complete. It feels like someone has just ripped my heart from the chest and cursed me to breathe underwater for the rest of my life. How can a person give you so much strength and still be your only weakness at the same time? I feel like I am losing myself.
