Amaranthe
She found Matteo sitting on the terrace when she went looking for him. Amaranthe resolved to tell him first. She sat down opposite him and he turned his head. His face was set in a somber expression that caused her to frown.
“Matteo- “
“Something bad happened to Anya, didn’t it?” He asked abruptly, eyes brimming with unshed tears. It turned out that Matteo was a lot more perceptive than he let on. “I heard you crying, so it must be really, really bad.”
She nodded sadly. “Yes, love. There was a big accident on their way here.” she started, “I’m sorry, Matteo, but she didn’t make it.” Amaranthe felt the tears falling down her cheeks. She tried to be strong, but wasn’t doing as well as she expected. Peering at Matteo, she noticed his tears falling as well.
He looked down and put a hand to his chest. “The pain is back, just when it started to go away.”
Amaranthe stared at this little boy who had lost so much already. He’s kn

They were truly his blessings and could never imagine putting them through the kind of pain Sergei brought upon his own children.If he was indeed to blame.As he descended the steps in front of his home, he caught Sergei’s expression. He was broken.Slowing his pace in front of the SUV, he walked up to the driver’s seat and leaned on the door.“First off,” He started, “never put the phone down in my fucking ear again. Second, what the fuck are you still doing out here?” As much as he knew Sergei needed to feel like he wasn’t alone, Dimitri could never show it. T

DimitriAfter much deliberation and finally hearing Sergei out, Dimitri made up his mind and called a meeting the following day. He had hoped that Francesco would see this as a peace offering and leave it at that. His family would not suffer because of an indiscretion they were not a part of. It was nearing the anticipated meeting and Dimitri had to admit that he was nervous.Sergei entered Dimitri’s downstairs study, a bit more nervous than before. Ashen faced and visibly terrified, he sighs and waits for Dimitri to start.Dimitri sat forward in his chair, threading his fingers underneath his chin. “I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I am. When I left Chicago in your care three years ago, I expected more out of you, and yet this is the repayment I get.” Dimitri started and glared at Sergei, who was about to speak but he held up his hand.“You will be silent and listen only. I have communicated with

DimitriDimitri walked into the den and locked the door behind him. Sergei followed suit and sauntered towards the desk that stood in the middle of the room, planting himself on it. He stared at Sergei and offered him a patronizing grin, “You should have been honest from the start, fucker. We could have avoided this.” He replied, giving his friend a jab to the arm.“Next time, don’t try to fucking strangle me before you hear me out. mudak(asshole).”Dimitri laughed, “There won’t be a next time. I think I’ve seen more than enough of Francesco de Leon.” He said, still disgusted by the man. Sergei nodded, then his expression got serious.During the confrontation with Dimitri yesterday, Sergei eventually came clean about everything. After his meeting in Chicago a few months ago, he met up with his brother, Sascha. They were the spitting image of one another, even though th

At that moment, Bailey turned around and spotted her big sister. Without thinking, she ran up to her, “Amy!” she cried, tears visible in her eyes.Amy. She couldn’t remember the last time someone called her that.Bailey slammed into her. Holding her tight, “My Bailey-bales! What are you doing here?” She asked, taking in her little sister’s mature look; Her auburn hair was cut short in a pixie style, she had a lean/athletic build and her skin tanned a warm bronze by the Sicily sun.“Dimitri and I have been talking, I’m moving here with you!”As soon as the smile appeared on Amaranthe’s face, it dropped. Dimitri had taken it upon himself to make a momentous decision regarding her sister. It was a decision she did not like.“Oh, he didn’t speak to me about it,” She said with a raised eyebrow.“Of course not, silly. It was supposed to be a surprise!” She said w

It was 3 pm when Amaranthe decided they needed to head home. The kids were all tuckered out and stumbling.As they rounded the corner that led to the estate, Amaranthe leaned out the window so she could allow the security system to scan her thumbprint and retina before the gates swung open, and abruptly closed as soon as they were inside.She turned to look at Bella, “I told you, dangerous world. Only Dimitri and I can open the gates.” She said with a shrug and saw the horrified look on her sister’s face.Bella really did not understand the dangerous life Amaranthe was involved in. “It’s not all designer clothes and mansions, Bella.” She said again and saw her sister nod but stood in awe at the sprawling estate. “Wow, this is beautiful!” She gushed out, and Amaranthe felt proud.“Dimitri designed it for his parents when his father was Pakhan. Now it’s ours.” She said and opened the door of

DimitriAmaranthe was in bed reading when Dimitri went up to bed. He still could not fathom how or why she loved him. He was, for all intents and purposes, death incarnate. Dimitri did not care if his target was man, woman, or child and it was what bothered him more than anything. His taking over of Chicago proved this; his small army had made sure there were no heirs or survivors left alive. Yet, this beauty loved him as if he was as pure as the driven snow.She looked up when she heard the door open and frowned. “You’re done early. Are the designs completed?” She asked, putting her book down then setting her reading glasses on top of it. He shook his head, taking off his tie as he walked towards their bed. “I missed my wife,” He said and sat next to her. She gave him one of her smiles that made him fall in love with her all those years ago in the diner. “Is that so? Well, come to bed, I’ve missed you too. It

AmarantheThe drive to the airport was uncomfortable. The children were at home with RG and Mari so Amaranthe couldn't even use them to distract herself.You could cut the tension with the tip of your fingernail. Amaranthe tried to make small talk but to no avail. Maybe Bella is still resentful towards her, and now she would be sending her away. She finally turned towards her sister, “Bella, what’s wrong? I thought you would be happy to be going to the school of your dreams? Are you still upset with me?” She asked and noticed the surprise in Bella’s eyes. Bella put her hands on Amaranthe’s leg, “No! Not at all! I will just miss you, that’s all. I barely saw you and now I’m leaving again.” She finally revealed, but Amaranthe did not miss how her eyes flicked to Dimitri. It was quick, but she caught it.Did something happen between them?She offered Bella a tight smile, &ld

Amaranthe2 am - Dimitri had still not been back home. He was ignoring her calls, including her messages, and Alexei did not reveal anything either.Bella had tried to seduce her husband, with complete disregard to her own sister. That hurt a lot more than she cared to admit, but not only had Bella done that, but she accused Dimitri of being compliant. Not only did she insult him to his face, but she proved to him she did not trust him.She walked the mansion halls and stopped in front of the twins’ room and peeked in. They were fast asleep without a care in the world, as it should be, and a small smile crossed her lips. She did the same to Matteo and Kiara but noticed Matteo was awake and staring out the window.Frowning, she walks into the room, “Matteo, honey. Why are you still awake?” She asked, coming to a stop at the edge of his bed. He looked towards her, his little face scrunched up as if he was deep in thought.
