Nessuna guardia del corpo era stata ammessa all'interno della villa tranne una.”[As of the confession of him, she has never stepped outside the mansion during the period he served for rafael.no bodyguard has been allowed inside the mansion except for one.]“Chi è lui?”[Who is he?]“Si chiama Giovanni ed è stato l'altro che abbiamo trovato con lei nella sua villa quel giorno.”[His name is Giovanni and he was the other one we found with her at her mansion that day.]After dressing up, I had to pay a visit to my office, in order to meet my lawyer to finalize the legal proceedings regarding Grusha’s inheritance. Though she is not aware of that, these things need to be done before it is too late. There’s this thing I have learned from my life that you need to claim what is yours before someone else snatches it from you. She is the only living person from Aslanov
Damien's POV:Pavlov’s eyes were fixed on mine ever since I came to the church with a satisfied smirk playing over his lips. He knew what he did and he knew how it would have affected me but I was not ready to give him the pleasure he craves. I gave him a stern look before averting my eyes to look at the other guests in the church those who were murmuring quietly. All of them were wearing a smile over their faces but I could smell the hint of hatred and jealousy through them.Acting skills are a bonus you receive when you take part in this world. My eyes ran across each face in the church, eventually stopping at one particular who had been staring at me the whole though I didn't notice before. I watched his eyes turning dark with hatred and I controlled my urge to roll my eyes at him. Seemingly Victor has noticed me staring at him as he forced a smile at me which earned a smirk from me.'Why do I feel like that pathetic bastard is counting down the days till his death?'I averted my g
Author's POV:"Congratulations on your wedding young man! Finally you knew it was time for you to settle down. And now your grandfather can enjoy his retired life peacefully. Speaking of the devil, I heard that he is not doing well. What happened? I couldn't pay a visit to him since I had to guide Lia with her new position."Mr. Edwin finished his talk with a proud smirk, almost making Damien roll his eyes at him.Right after the ceremony Damien was caught by Mr. Edwin who is a friend of his grandfather and also a long term business partner of King Family. Damien almost thought of not inviting him since he always gets annoyed by his nonstop talking but he was not ready to break the friendship he has with Mr. Edwin since he knew that it could be of use one day."Thank you Mr. Edwin and yes, nonno has been feeling not well recently that's why he couldn't make it."Damien said though the real reason why grandfather didn't attend his wedding was because this marriage was not out of his ap
Author's POV: "You better take care of my sister Mr. King."Both men’s eyes snapped to Victor who was standing there with his eyes shamelessly checking out Grusha making her uncomfortable and nauseated."Well see you later mate. We both know that this won't be the final meeting right?"Pavlov said while playfully hitting Damien’s arm with a hint of threat which couldn't scare Damien at all. Damien ignored him totally while he left from there without even glancing at Victor. Victor was aware who he was dealing with when he refused Pavlov’s proposal and he should be ready feel the consequences. Damien’s eyes followed Victor's gaze and found his bride gripping his coat tightly while trying to scoot away with her head hung low. Her actions were enough to show him how uncomfortable she was with her cousin and it made him impatient to know what is going between them."She is my wife Victor. So, of course I would take care of her. I promise I wouldn't let even a dog's paw lay on her. Theref
Author's POV: Grusha wriggled in her place in sleep, still keeping her eyes closed while leaning against the window. After the brief information she got about where they were heading to, she didn't ask anything more and decided to let things be how they were meant to be. She tried her best to keep her eyes open but waking up early in the morning, going to shopping, wearing a heavy gown and carrying it all day all long without having a chance to sit down made her exhausted to the point that her eyes closed on their own and her head hit the glass with a soft thud which didn't wake her up at all. The position she was in was so uncomfortable to her and the heavy gown made it even worse as moving with it was more challenging than carrying it. However, with all these beings, she still managed to drift to sleep. Damien glanced at her frowning every time she moved or made noises in uneasiness and it didn't take him more than a few seconds to realize how uncomfortable she was in that dress.
Grusha's POV: "Sir, this is the latest collection that we have." The girl who I recognized to be the one who was here earlier said, hoping to take his eyes away from me but to no avail as I could see him stretching his hand out for her to place a dress on while still keeping his gaze on me. I peeked at the girl before me slightly lifting my head to see her awkwardly placing a dress on his hand. I let my gaze follow her hand to see the dress which Damien is now holding. It was a yellow color floral short dress which was too short for my liking. I turned my head to see him inspecting the dress only to hear someone calling out for me. "Madam, please try these on." I snapped my head to see, it was Luca carrying a box while the girl beside him had a couple of boxes on her hands, covering her face from me. Luca didn't wait for my approval and crouched down in front of me while opening the box and taking out a pair of sandals. I turned around to take a look at Damien to see him taking dr
Grusha's POV: "Strip this off!" He said as his fingers tightened around my waist. "No." I said with pleading eyes hoping he would let me be. But he gritted his teeth and leaned to my neck before brushing his lips up and down along the crook of my neck. "Why is this resistance now? It is not like I haven't seen anything." Yes. I know. But that is the last thing I wanted to remember right now. After that incident I tried my best to convince myself that something like that never happened but he again reminded me of that making my heart tightened. It was the first time I was exposed to someone. It was the first time my tortures memories were exposed to someone. And the naïve girl I was expected him to do anything but look at me in the worst way he could. I tried scooting away from him, suddenly feeling uncomfortable with his touch. He lifted his head to see my face as I kept resisting his touch but when he met my eyes he didn't continue his act further, making me relieved. "I won'
Damien's POV:Something doesn't feel right?I thought to myself as I loosened my waistband and stretched my legs while throwing my head back. The whole ride was silent and inside the car it was pure dark. It must be around 10 or 11 and within two hours we will be able to reach the harbor.Soft snores were heard breaking the silence in the car, causing me to open my eyes to look at the source of noise. There was my wife curled up in to a ball, taking her legs onto the seat while leaning to the door. It is dangerous for her to lean to the door since what if the door got opened. She was shivering slightly and I guess the air condition was pretty high for her. I was about to grab her when the car made a sudden turn making her fall onto the seat which didn't disturb her sleep even a bit."Luca!"I called Luca in a warning tone as he immediately apologized."Scusa capo. Un camion è arrivato in questo modo."[Sorry boss. A truck came in this way.]Truck drivers are so careless, especially at
