Third Person POV
Svetlana slid in the car after procrastinating all she could the next day. He was sitting in the car looking out of the windshield. The somber mood had followed him, he didn't even bother coming in for breakfast today.She bit her lower lip, she wishef to be anywhere but here.He had an intense look in his eyes. Svetlana didn't want to know what he was thinking or what he will say. The silence was biting.He looked far more dangerous then she had remembered him to be.He grabbed a cigarette from the packet and lit it with the lighter. He smoked still looking out of the windshield glass.His aura was ice cold and the tension was that thick that it could be cut with a knife.In all the time she had known him she had never seen him smoke. She did see the ashtray there on the dashboard but knew he hardly smoked because if he did she would have smelt it on him.Damn that witch!He had been acting estranged and stiffThird Person POVSvetlana sat on the Breakfast Table while everybody in the Astor family was stealing glances at her. It was making her cringe with everything that was going on.She was fucked. She had fucked her whole life. Sometimes she wondered why did Luca bothered not urging her to open up about her deceit at gun point. The Astor family is why.She bit her lower in regret. Their daughter might be rotting away in an unamed grace. She shook her head at the thought. Sandra could very well be living it to the fullest.It's been almost a week since Luca's lost control in the car.Svetlana didn't go to his office to have lunch or drove in his car. She ate in the lunchroom or her driver brought her take-outs from exquisite hotels and restaurants.The corner of her lip turned up, money did make statements.When the Astor's asked about the change she simply said they were giving each other space but even a blind could see the spilled milk
Third Person POVSvetlana scoffed "Such an overrated move! Who would be?"Luca came closer to her till they were only a breath away. She could feel his breath on her face.He was close, although he wasn't touching her, she felt sparks rush her body."Tell me little liar, how many of your 'admirers' can vacate an area as such, to listen to you utter bullsh*t like that?"His voice was soft as if he was cooing a lover but to Svetlana's ear it was like venom.Svetlana narrowed her eyes at him, he always ridiculed her like this in useless banter for his amusement.Luca held out a strand of her hair that was hovering on her cheeks and slid it behind her ear brushing his fingers tenderly on her cheeks.Svetlana narrowed her eyes at him. The man must be playing at something or is bi-polar!One moment he goes all Tarzan on her and the other he is caressing her like some devoted lover.Pushing his chest a little which did n
Third Person POVThet sat in the car with a loud silence, sadly a makeout session didn't blur reality for them."When are you going to be real for once?"After Ivana left the smoothness of their moment left with her. Svetlana bitter smile dwindled."Aren't you tired of this charade?!"They were still looking out of the windshield mirror; they didn't want to see anything they couldn't unseen.Luca exhaled a deep breath and sneered, "This is all because you want to keep things..."The pain that was coming from her heart made Svetlana grit her teeth. She could feel the blood rush out of her.Apparently, she wasn't that smart herself but she couldn't blame herself. It was already hard being on the edge allthe time.At least he had no proof."Luca, just drop it! Don't you get tired of this same fight we have every time?!" She hissed.Luca scoffed at her, "Yes, and that's because you don't want to res
Third Person POVSvetlana frantically held his arm, "I want to go home, Luca ple-please. I don't want to go there. Please, don't take me there."There were unshed tears that were brimming in her already swollen eyes and her voice was trembling and breaking.Even in this devastating condition, she looked ravishing. Her wild aura was covered with a heavy coating of delicacy and innocence.She looked breakable.Luca saw her reaction and let out a heavy sigh.Svetlana was never that expressive, always headstrong, and stubborn. A woman who pretended to fear nothing that is breathing.But he understood why her emotions were in overdrive right now. The medicine had taken its effect, he could see it.He didn't want to trick her like this but he had to if he wanted her breathing.He turned to her and gave her what she needed the most. A hug.He held her head to her chest and clawed his body for any remanat of comfort.Then when he pulled
Third Person POVWas this his way of throwing her to the wolves because she rejected him?!Svetlana passed him a fleeting glare and walked out following Juana.Luca watched her till she could no longer be seen then turned to his Grandfather who looked like he would rather chew his meat than the Mongolian Beef on his plateA smirk appeared on his Grandfather's ever expressionless face, "A seductress, isn't she? A body of siren and that mouth of a temptress... Such a ravishing little thing she is."He was referring to Svetlana, Luca gave a subtle smile when he wanted to put the bullet in the Old Bastard's head."Yes, my 'fiance' is beautiful." Luca put force in the word 'fiance' to subtly refrain him from going forward.Just when the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake.The smirk on Donnovan's face widened. Men like them didn't give compliments like beautiful or pretty, that's what lovers did.They didn't praise
Third Person POVIn fact, she was waiting for the young woman to start wailing any minute now which should be expected.But listening to her taunt Qianci whole face turned beet red from the fury churning in her.Nobody had ever said that on her face! Her husband's infidelity was world-famous scandal but nobody ever voices a thing about it."I love my husband! He was the father of my dead son! Who the hell are you, insolent lass—"Before Qianci could go on Svetlana cut her off, "Same reason. I love him too and if I can have a piece of his heart, I don't mind sharing him."Svetlana cringed inwardly at her own words. It was some words she caught on a sappy drama.Infuriated, by the direct insult, Old Madam Gianni stood up from her seat...It wasn't like Svetlana didn't respect aged people of the society; it was just that she had a limit of things she sacrificed and right now she had a fuzzled up brain.And her self-esteem wasn't in the
Third Person POVWhat was about these girls that Juana remembered them hearing of love? If he had nothing to hide, then he wouldn't have a reaction as strong as this!The mistrust was as clear as the sky was today. He wanted to curse or flip the table, but he couldn't give his Grandfather another thing to blackmail him about.Yes, he did have a lot of flings and f*cks but that was just to subtly cancel the engagement. But it was before.He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw. His cold aura at once turned the room to Antarctica.Qianci turned to Svetlana with a slight smile as if she couldn't comprehend the sudden dropping temperature."Sandra, it is?" Qianci asked in a mocking tone.Neither Luca nor Svetlana replied to her. Of course, she did know the name, but it was her way of making Svetlana feel insignificant.Svetlana was feeling light-headed and cold. But she smiled at the senile lady anyway.Luca raised an eyeb
Third Person POVAs Svetlana fell unconscious, Luca ran to Svetlana and caught her by the waist, breaking her fall.Qianci and Juana stood up in shock. In dismay, they reached forward to inspect the girl but one look from Luca had them halting.He brought his hand on her face and patted her cheeks. He fiercely shook her but to no avail, she didn't budge.He opened her eyes to see them half rolled back, dilated. He picked her Bridal style and laid her in his lap as he sat on the sofa. He had a crazed look in his eyes."Baby, Get up! Damn it!" He was practically shouting.He looked around frantically, picked a glass of water from the table, and sprinkled some on her.He was feeling his heart beating abnormally. He was for the first time scared. He had given her a custom-made drug. It was well experimented but...But could it be because of the drug's side effect, right? He didn't know what he will do in that case.Any
