Mag-log in“No, Nero. I’m not going to allow some unhinged man to prevent me from doing my daily activities. I’ve just started my fucking business. If I don’t show up and work, all my efforts will go down the drain.”“This is a matter of your safety. Your business can wait a month until your trial. Claire is right. Viktor did this so he can trap you. This is all a plot so he can approach you and make sure you end up in person.”I understood why Nero was worried for me, but at the same time, I didn’t want Viktor to stop my life from going on. That would be another way of letting him win. “I know you’re worried for my safety but this is what Viktor wants. He wants to torment me and make sure he stays on my mind to the point that I don’t forget that he exists. He wants to be part of our relationship and his impending presence to dictate my choices.”Nero looked exasperated. He didn’t want me to suffer any more than I already had at the hands of that man. If it were up to him, I would never leave t
It didn’t take long for a hearing for the restraining order to be set. Viktor was making my life a living hell, and he was derailing my work. Words weren’t enough to describe how much I fucking hated him.Nero was in court with me because he knew there was a likelihood Viktor would be there. He had to be there to make his case. Instead of fixing the crisis my brother created for his company, he was here waging war against me.Viktor showed up with a lawyer and multiple bodyguards because he probably feared what Nero would do to him. He, however, smirked at me when he saw me.We were in civil court, and I made sure to dress as simply as possible. I was in a simple sundress and some sandals. It was summer, and it was less chilly, which made my outfit appropriate.I wanted to downplay how wealthy I was.“Marino vs Orlov. Motion for a permanent restraining order,” the judge said, “Counsel, appearances.”“Vladimir Ivanov for the plaintiff, your honor,” Viktor’s lawyer said.“Claire Sandova
Dominic was awake, and Lily wouldn’t leave his side. I had never seen her that dedicated to a man before. She was head over heels for him for sure. She even fed him and read to him so he wouldn’t get bored.“What did the doctor say? He suffered a gunshot to his neck. Will he be able to go back to being your second in command?” I asked as Nero, and I stood outside the hospital room looking at Dominic and Lily laugh at something.“I got him the best medical care in the world. The doctors say he will make a full recovery in no time. He’ll have to retrain to be able to fight again, but it will happen.”I smiled and put my head on Nero’s shoulder. Things were working out, and Lily was back to her old self. Who knew all it would take was Dominic’s recovery? They looked at each other like they were one another’s lifelines.Lily was always a free spirit. I never imagined the day she would fall for someone as hard as she seemed to have fallen for Dominic. I knew she would deny it, but I knew h
Seeing my girl after almost two weeks in Russia was amazing. I was going crazy just imagining something happening to her while I was gone. Viktor had tried everything to get close to her and failed.Fortunately, Carlos was perfect for the job of protecting her. He knew I would have killed him if something had happened to Serena on his watch.She was there to pick me up at the airport, and when she saw me, she jumped on me like she couldn’t be happier to see me.“I’ve missed you,” she said as she buried her face in my neck. I held her in my arms and chuckled. When I finally put her down, I put my hand on her cheek and kissed her hard.She kissed me back harder, even biting my lips in the process. She was just as excited to see me as I was to see her. Things were finally working out, and it made me feel so much better. Having Serena by my side was nothing but a bonus.“How was Russia?” She asked as she helped me put my bags in the trunk of the car she used to come for me. Even though I
To say Viktor was mad was an understatement, and he punished me by releasing headlines in the media saying I was a bad person and that I’m a homewrecker. He also released headlines calling me ungrateful for not helping my uncle.It wasn’t lost on me or on anyone else that my uncle was completely broke. After his political position was removed, his company suffered a great loss, and he went bankrupt. Nico punished him for what he had done, and I couldn’t have been happier.People were calling me a bad niece since I was a millionaire and I had connections with the DeLuca family. Viktor was making sure people were talking shit about me online to distract from his situation.There was a time I cared about what people thought, but I no longer do. They didn’t know shit about my life. They didn’t know that my uncle was a bad person and that he had helped me, so he would keep him close enough to inspect what I was doing.Well, I was grateful for everything that he had done for me. I couldn’t
Luca was a force to be reckoned with. Not only did he follow through with his plans to make Viktor pay, but he also almost bankrupted the man. He hacked into the Orlov oil company and revealed their trade secrets.The company lost billions in a day, and some investors pulled out of investing in the company. Things weren’t going well for him. Luca managed to do it in the comfort of his own room at the Nero room, and he wasn’t caught.The trade secrets were removed from the internet, but Luca kept putting them back on the internet. He did all that and even managed to reveal documents showing how the company bribed people to obtain certain pipeline contracts.Because all that information was highly publicized, they were being investigated by the government. They had also evaded some taxes, and that was all exposed. No matter how hard they tried to scrub the information from the internet, Luca wouldn’t let them.He was better than Nico told me he was. He was definitely ten times better th
“Do you think she will make your life miserable at work?” Lily asked.“I bet she’s actually about to marry Nero, and he gave her a job. She will try to make things hard for me because she doesn’t like me.”“Why doesn’t she like you?” Lilith asked. “The two of you were close in high school.”While L
“Lick it for me,” he said.I got closer, putting both of my hands on his thighs to anchor myself, and licked his crotch. He grabbed the back of my neck and pressed my face harder against his bulge. He was huge, and I couldn’t even begin to fathom how he would fit inside me.Let alone fit into my mo
It had been a week since I saw Nero. He hadn’t visited me once, and I started to wonder if that was going to be the pattern with us. He would come, pleasure me, and then leave for days on end.I didn’t even know why I was bothered. I should have been glad that he was leaving me alone, but I wasn’t.
Luckily, Nero was kind enough to ask Grace to let me work from home. I wouldn’t have made it work and been able to sit through the whole day. My ass stung like hell, and it was red.When I looked at myself in the mirror, I was horrified. You could see he belt lines clear as day. If Nero hadn’t appl
