Grusha's POV: "So how long have you been working here?"I asked while finishing my breakfast and circling the counter with the dish in my hands. He tried to take my dish from my hands when he saw me coming towards him."No, no, I will wash it."I said insisting and he hesitantly backed away, giving me space. I watched him scribbling in his notebook while I washed my dish."Since Damien was a kid? For a long time."I said in surprise as to how long he has been with Damien. He passed me a sweet smile as a response to my surprise. He looked like he could have kids in my age but for some reasons I doubt that."Where are the others?"I asked remembering seeing a few other cooks in the kitchen when I went to the basement that day."They went home?"I read it before he could finish. So now my doubt is a little bit clear. Now I know that either he doesn't have a family or he is not with his family anymore. He must have expected me to ask him why he didn't go home but I let it slide as I wipe
Author's POV: Grusha’s hands were trembling but this time it was not out of fear. But out of rage. Her lips were quivering as she took shaky breaths in between her silent cries. Her eyes were fixed on the tortured body while another pair of eyes was fixed on her. She wrapped her hands around her body as if to stop trembling but to no vail. She was gawking at Victor's body while Luca down casted his eyes meeting the burning gaze of Damien. Everyone in the room went rigid feeling the change of atmosphere in the room. Damien dropped the knife he was holding as it fell to the ground with a loud noise which reverberated throughout the room. Luca snapped his eyes to Damien as Damien’s eyes ran back to his wife who was trembling badly in front of him. Luca watched how his eyes changed when he looked at his wife though Grusha was too preoccupied to notice any of that. Grusha slowly took steps towards Victor with her shaky legs as she tried so hard to conceal her sobs. Damien watched Grusha c
Author's POV: "Yeah. It’s me."Grusha stood up and took steps towards him while holding the knife in her hand tightly."D_don't. You will r_re_gret it."A menacing chuckle reverberated throughout the room sending chills down the spine of the pathetic man in front."I bet I won’t. Instead..."She said while coming closer to him and placing the blade over his bloody cheek."I will sleep peacefully.""You b_bitch_""Do you remember? It was that fucking brother's birthday. He decided to throw a party to show off how filthy rich he was. And being the lustful bastard you are you came along since you get to fuck some horny bitches. But you, you didn't stop there as you appeared in my life out of nowhere and asked the 12 year old kid I was to play hide and seek. Huh, being the naive bitch I was I thought you were nice and decided to play along until you made me hide in a cupboard in my brother's room with you and made me look at all the fucking sinful acts he did with a whore while you let yo
Author's POV: Minutes passed, hours passed with Grusha crying her heart out in Damien’s embrace before finally calming down and reducing her cries to soft sobs. Damien saw that she finally has calmed down and brushed some strands of messy hair from her face before cupping her cheek which made his palms to taint her cheek in blood. His gaze fell on her bloody cheek before running his gaze to see her body remembering she was sitting on the blood covered floor. And as expected her clothes and body was stained with blood as well."Sweetheart, we need to get you cleaned up."Damien hummed softly in her ear while brushing her hand up and down. Grusha didn't reply but continued to sob silently. Damien softly sighed as he wrapped his hand over her back and under her knees before effortlessly picking her up in his hands. He carried her to the door before tapping the door by his shoes to ask his men to open the door since his hands were already preoccupied. And within a second Luca opened the d
Author's POV: "Why did you do it?"Grusha asked wanting to know the exact reason for his deeds."Cause I promised."He didn't wait even a second to answer since he had already given this answer back in the basement."That's not what I am asking."And it is not like Damien didn't know what she was asking and also he already knew the answer and the only problem was how far she would believe him if he told her the truth. And it was more like he himself couldn't believe that he did something like that for her."I married you to take revenge on someone. And also to prevent Victor from being the heir of Aslanov.""And you did.""No I didn't.""Then_""It was a fake news that I made for the time being to stop Victor from chasing behind your properties. The properties are still ownerless.""Ah. Then what about the revenge? Did you take it?""Sort of. I married you.""Who is that you wanted to take revenge on?"Grusha tried her best to not ask him that question, feeling him not being comfortab
Grusha's POV: It’s warm. I wanted to stretch my body at the same time I felt as if I am squeezed. I turned around and snuggled closer to that warmness which makes me want to curl up against it. My eyes were still closed but I could not go back to sleep. I opened my eyes eventually giving up trying to go back to sleep only to come face to face with a muscular bare chest. I stared at it for a second before flinching and moving away from it to process everything. But I could not do anything as I was pulled against the chest once again by a hand wrapped around my waist. My mouth was gaped while I was processing everything."Good morning my love!"Damien's morning deep voice entered my ears and I tilted my head back to see him sleeping peacfully while sniffing my hair."Good morning."I said while pushing back to move a bit away from his embrace to take a good look at his face. I recalled yesterday memories as my eyes ran all over the sleeping face of the handsome man next me who I call my
Grusha's POV: "Ma'am"I flinched and turned around at the voice only to find Gomez standing behind me with a worried look. Was I that zoned out to notice him coming or does he have cat claws?"Umm...Good morning. I just wanted to make something to eat."I said as he began scribbling in his notebook hurriedly."Thank you for being considerate uncle but I want to make breakfast today."I answered before completing the sentence."I insist.""Of course. That’s so nice of you uncle."That's when the kettle's light went off indicating the water is boiled."Well I wanted to refresh everything. That’s why I wanted to make breakfast today. Would you like some cappuccino first?"He started refusing as he waved his hands but somehow agreed nodding his head when he met my gaz
Grusha's POV: Damien, he was trembling. I swiftly placed the trey on the bedside table before dashing towards Damien’s trembling figure. I touched his arm and he was definitely trembling. Drops of sweat were rolling down his forehead and all of this scared the shit out of me."Damien."No response."DAMIEN!"I called once again while shaking his figure."Damien! Wake up!"This time my voice raised a little bit after not receiving any response and I began shaking him violently. I knelt beside him on the bed while tapping his cheeks and calling him again and again which eventually made Damien to snap open his eyes while breathing heavily. He swiftly sat on the bed while panting as if he has ran a mile."Everything is okay now. Breath slowly. Breath."I said while pulling his head to rest on my shoulder as my hands caressed his messy hair and his back. I felt him wrapping his hands around me tightly and we stayed like that for a few minutes until he calmed down."I am right here with you
