I never liked battles. Blood, violence, chaos, all these were some of the words I hated in one sentence. The reason for it being me is love peace and happiness because that is all I saw while growing up. I had parents with the kindest heart. They used to charity, help the needy and we're always someone who likes being away from any kind of violence. Then Rafe came into our lives and that night, everything changed. I came to know I was living in a bubble, surrounded by people, I deemed fit in my comfort zone, then suddenly that bubble burst and I realize it was all a dream and life woke me with the biggest jolt of my life. It not only shook me but life around me. Everything changed and realized just outside the little bubble I was living in there was a war going on my kindest parents were a part of that war and so was me now. I tried escaping the war, I wanted no part in it, but somehow, I found myself standing in the middle of it. But I kept trying, I trie
Tiara's POV I winced hearing my uncle scream and look at my brother and my heart breaks as he look at his father as if he is looking at a stranger. I can read the look because I had the same look when I saw him there at the hospital.A complete starter. No one that I knew or want to know. " I wasn't the king. Your uncle was and I fucking wanted to be. I wanted to be the king. " he roared again and with both surprise and shock I looked at him. His eyes snapped towards mine, there was animalistic rage in his eyes, a look that made me cower away when he walked towards me, " Your father, he never wanted to be in this, he wanted to play family, and yet people gave him everything that I wanted and dreamed about to him on a fucking platter. " he is angry because my father was the right-hand man of the Italian mafia. Breathing hard he continued, " And what did your father do, he left everything and ran away with your mother. Disrespecting something so valuable. And yet thes
"Because if he wanted I could have everything that I wanted but no he never fuckimg wanted my dreams to be fulfilled. Always told that I am better away from this life. " he spat looking into my eyes, his hold on the gun tightening everyone else in the room was looking at me emotionless, except for Jaxon who is looking broke. " I don't understand. " I whispered because I genuinely don't do. " A position that the Italians never gave me. Russians offered. But that came with a price. The price was a SAW file. " frowning I look at him, Jaxon and I shared a confused look. " What are you talking about Dad? " it was Jaxon who asked this time. It's like both of us had several questions that we wanted answers to. Because if we are dying today at least we will die in peace knowing all the truth. " The Russians offered me to be their right hand but they wanted the SAW file, the file had all the secrets of the Italian mafia sealed in it. Something that could have destroyed t
3 months later __________________" Lucas, you better tell your dog to stay away from the kitchen!!!" I scream at him as his whole focus is fixed on the football match going on the television. " I am craving chocolates. " Celina grew taking a seat beside her brother and takes a mouthful of the popcorn that he has been eating less and scattering before she looks me with those pleading eyes. I sigh and look at her before looking at her stomach, she is four months pregnant, and as much as I love the fact that my brother is soon going to be a father, I am done with her craving. She is keeping the whole house on their toes. She is moody snappy, suddenly too happy, and always hungry, I don't know what I am to do with these cravings when all I want to do sometimes is scream in frustration, and sometimes I think, I am gonna go bald if I keep tugging my hairs like this. " here is chocolate muffins for your and a hot chocolate with marshmallows. " I turn and give a thankful l
Life never had been this beautiful. Yeah, year's ago I didn't though I would be here, with Stefano Valentino. But life is unpredictable. And I came to know of it the hard way. " You look beautiful. " I turn to see the love of my life my husband standing behind me in his signature black tix, I am wearing a matching black silk dress with a diamond necklace that has a black emerald in the middle. The ears had small diamond studs. My hair was clean straight, mid parted. Makeup minimum, giving me those businesswoman wives. And I am loving the look of the confident boss woman that I pulled. From the mirror I see Stefano walk towards me his hands wrap around my waist and he places a small kiss on my makes shoulder as the dress is off his shoulder. I close my eyes and Savour his touch on my skin, the beautiful, exotic tingle run through my body, and I smile. " you look ravishing as well. " I turn and wound my hands around his neck, standing on my tiptoes, I place a
Tiara's POVI always love passing street lights, while travelling the roads at night. The orange glow they cast feels so warm and everything around looks so different as if they have a light of their own.And today is one of those nights when I am enjoying the passing lights, the cold breeze with a little warmth in them, caressing my face.Closing my eyes I let the serene moment, absorbed in my system, provide me with some sort of tranquillity."Close the window Tiara. The Ac is on." my serenity was broken by the voice of my aunt. Reluctantly, closing the window I leaned my head on the headboard of my seat, closing my eyes, I tried to absorb the picture of the beautiful scenario, I just captured.But a sound of tapping feet kept diverting my mind, "Stop worrying. Everything will be fine Celina." sighing, I said quietly, so only she can listen."I am fine," she said more to herself than me.Defeated, I turned towards her, she was fidgeting with her fingers, and nervousness was clear o
Tiara's POV"Damn!!" I have been stuck at the bus stand, for two hours drenched in rain. Waiting for the bus, but damn not a single bus passed. And my phone is also switched off.I can only imagine what will be my uncle's reaction, seeing that I was supposed to return by 8 and here it is already 10 at the night.Spending another few minutes, I decided to walk rather than be stuck. Because either way, I am late, drenched with no other way to go back.Wrapping my arms around myself, to give myself some warmth from the cold, I started my walk back home."What were you thinking Tiara? Seriously you could have ordered that book. But no you couldn't wait for a day and came out of town to buy it. Wow now enjoy." I angrily muttered to myself, sarcastically.I may have only taken a few steps when I saw flashlights of a coming car. Waving my hand to it. I asked for a lift with hope. The car came closer, but instead of stopping, it passed by me.And there went my last hope. My shoulders and face
Tiara's POV 'No internet connection.'"Arghh" shutting my laptop angrily. I stood from my bed. Gripping my hair, I started pacing around my room. Muttering curses under my breath.And all this is why I am grounded. Yesterday when I entered my house, I found my uncle waiting for me in the living room. He was not happy, displeasure and concern evident on his face. And then and there I knew, I am up for punishment. And that's what I got when he said, "You.Are.Grounded." emphasizing every word.And in his dictionary, grounded means, you are not supposed to use the phone, the e interior net, go outside and spend time with friends.Well for the last part, I hardly care. It's not like I have any friends. And the phone, well I can live without it. But my laptop and internet, a big no.They are my only friends. In my solitude, they are my only companions.I was busy blaming myself, when Celina barged into my room like a storm, with a million-dollar smile.Too broad, as if she is doing
