Vladimir:“What in the bloody world are you planning, my love?” I asked Eliana, wrapping my arms around her waist as I pulled her closer to me.She smiled, biting her bottom lip as she grabbed my shirt’s collar, pulling me closer. I leaned in, kissing her lips, her teasing behavior only told me that she was up to no good.“I’m playing Lorenzo’s own sadistic game”“You are playing with fire, my beautiful malyshka” I whispered kissing her neck, sucking on her sweet spot, enjoying the moan that escaped her lips. The two of us were supposed to be getting ready, but seeing as I had no idea what my beauty was going on about; it seemed like I needed to find out first.“And you are heating up that fire” she whispered back, pulling away to look me in the eye. I smirked and lifted her in my arms. Her legs wrapped around my torso as she connected her lips with my own.“I’m guessing that you have a little plan of delaying us?” I asked against her lips. Eliana looked down at me, resting her forehe
Eliana:“So? What have you decided?” I asked Vladimir who smiled wrapping his arms around me. He hugged me tightly, kissing the crown of my head.“We have no other option than to trust him right now. We’ll see how things turn out later, but I will have you know; if he does turn out to being a dick, I will be sure to kill him myself” Vladimir teased making me laugh “he wants to share the money gets from this Lorenzo thing, fifty, fifty. But he wants full control over the D’Angelo family…”“Which is not what the two of us planned when we first decided on this” I said stopping him. Vladimir kept his eyes on my own, studying my expression for a few seconds as I nodded “and what did you tell him?”“I told him what he wanted to hear; he has control over this throne, but I will do my best to have things go our way. For now, I need him by my side. The man has full control and access over things that you don’t have, and Lorenzo seems to trust him a lot. Therefore, we will let him believe that
Vladimir:It took every bit of self control in me as not to yell at everyone to stay quiet and just listen.Had it not been for Elijah who asked them to be quiet, and eventually Nikolay who snapped, wanting to listen to what Eliana had to say; everyone would have been complaining until now.Leonardo sat by Eliana’s side, looking at us with wide eyes, and I wasn’t sure whether he was enjoying or fearing the sight before his eyes. But either way, he made no attempt in speaking to voice out his thoughts.“So, you’re trying to explain to me that this man, your brother, Lorenzo’s son, is against Lorenzo?” Viktor asked raising an eyebrow “and he isn’t after me for…”“Don’t test your luck too much, Romanov” Leonardo spoke for the first time, stopping my twin “if I am not against you; it is because first, I didn’t know the woman; she chose to give me up as a child. Second, if Eliana, a woman who has been raised by her, is now your best friend, then I am pretty sure that you didn’t go ahead ki
Eliana: “It’s done” Leonardo said putting his phone back in his pocket as he walked toward me in the garden. I sat on one of the benches, staring into space as I regained my thoughts. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked. I didn’t bother looking at him as I recalled the memory of how bad his back was. I could tell that the wounds have healed, but their marks only told me that he has been through a lot worse than I have. “Tell you what, Eliana?” he asked. He sat down beside me, turning to face me as he listened to what I had to say. “That he had hurt you? That he used his…” “What would the difference be?” Leonardo asked. I ran my fingers through my hair before he sighed and carefully wrapped his arm around me, pulling me in for a hug “I wasn’t patient for this long to watch you collapse on me the second you’re told about my past” “We’ll get through this, soon. I wouldn’t have told you if it weren’t for your nosy Pakhans” “Ha, ha” I teased shaking my head as I pulled away from his ar
Vladimir:I smiled when I opened my eyes to find my beauty laying in my arms. Her eyes closed as she slept peacefully for the first time in months.I knew that we slept in, and I was well aware that it was late, but I also knew the reason why no one bothered to wake us up. The two of us were not only exhausted from last nights’ love making, but we were both mentally drained from being at the D’Angelo house for a while now.Therefore, seeing that my beauty was finally at peace, I didn’t have it in me to wake her up.Slowly getting out of bed, I walked toward the bathroom only to smirk when I saw the love bite that Eliana left on my neck. She was never one to usually leave them, but when she did, I couldn’t help but feel proud of the fact that she was ‘claiming’ me as her own for everyone to see. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, as to start getting ready for the day.I got inside the shower, turning the tap water only to smile when I heard the bathroom’s door get knocked “come in”
Eliana:I stayed quiet throughout breakfast and if anyone knew me well enough; they knew that I was annoyed.The fact that Vladimir so coldly agreed to what my daughter said without asking me, and despite knowing that he technically told her that he would be discussing matters with me, him giving the kids the hope that they would be able to stay away from us was something that I didn’t like. There was also the fact that I didn’t like the fact that the kids were upset to begin with. Neither one of them showed or told me that they were, and that only proved that they simply missed how spoiled they were here when they were somewhat restricted back at home.I got up from my chair once I was done eating, if you could call that eating anyway, my dish was still clean. Vladimir tapped his finger on the table twice, but Ivan shaking his head at him, motioning for him to not move kept him quiet. If anyone knew how hard it was on me when the kids were away from me, it was Vladimir, and shameless
Vladimir:“If you ever dare approach my wife again, Kiara…”“Vladimir” Nikolay warned, stopping me.“Control your wife and then the two of us won’t be having a problem” I walked past the Pakhan, not bothering to wait for his response as to follow my wife. Dad who tried stopping me once didn’t dare approach me this time as I walked past him.I walked out through the kitchen’s door, my heart breaking at the sight of my wife who sat with her back against the front door. Her gun was on the floor in front of her, and my heart dropped to my stomach at that fact, knowing that she had pulled it out of its holster to do God knows what.“Is that what a Pakhan’s wife should do? Lose herself and humanity? Is this what I signed up for?” her voice was low as she spoke to herself. She didn’t even notice that I was walking toward her, her mind being elsewhere. Tears fell from my eyes before I could stop them, and I couldn’t help but feel my heart and soul shatter at the sight of her looking and feeli
Eliana:I woke up my eyes to frown in confusion when I found myself inside my and Vladimir’s bedroom.I sat up, trying to process how I got here or what happened before shaking my head at myself. The argument with Kiara played back in my head and my breakdown just seemed to play in my head, breaking my soul. How Vladimir had wrapped his arms around me, kissed the crown of my head, how he looked down at me, assuring me that things were going to be okay. Everything just felt like it was slowing down for a bit before I forced myself out of the bed.I tied my hair in a messy bun before heading to the bathroom to freshen up. Catching sight of my reflection, I couldn’t help but sigh. My eyes were swollen from crying, and I won’t even mention how red they were. Turning the tap on, I washed my face as I took a deep breath. My hands shaking as I fought to stay calm.I had to leave the bedroom and knowing that everyone was most probably downstairs doing whatever it was they had to do; I dreaded
