“What…what do you mean?” She asked, her heart hammering hard in her chest. Last night's events flashed in her vision and she swallowed hard.“I.. do not want to leave you, I will stay here.” she whispered silently, the last time she left him, he ruined the life of an innocent man. Vladimir gazed into her eyes firmly and his own gaze turned twisted. “Who says I would ever allow you to leave me, Rose?” He asked. “You are stuck with me until I want to. The only way you get to be free from ‘The Sinner’ is if you die or I get bored with you.”Rose' eyes welled with tears, her heart ached hearing his cruel words. She stoned her feelings to fight off the pain she was suffering right now. But Mia inhaled sharply hearing that as anger surged through her veins. “My sister is not a thing, you get bored of!” She snapped as she moved forward, grabbed Vladimir's arm and pulled him. Vladimir Sokolov's eyes changed dangerously. His body tightened with rage, had anyone else touched him like the lit
“You look tense, Klaus,” Lauren said as she entered Klaus' cabin and found him with his eyes closed and head resting against the chair. Lauren urged to move near him and rest her head on his chest. She wanted to be in his arms and feel comfortable. But she also knew it was almost impossible. Yesterday night, when she left the office, she was hurt by how Sila talked to her. If it had been anyone else, Lauren would never have looked at him again. But he was Klaus Berbeiri. Her friend and the man she liked. She could give up on her pride but not on her love. Klaus heaved out a breath and straightened in his chair. “Has the problem been solved?” He asked instead, opening his eyes and looked at her with a frown.“Yes. Even if, I wanted to handle this situation on my own, I had to call Dad for this. I thought you would be helping me. But I understand Klaus. You are a married man now. You have your priorities.”Klaus locked his jaws. “Lauren. You are a good friend of mine but she is my wi
“Stop,” Sila said, pulling away from her husband, both of her hands were on his chest which she used to create space between them. She shook her head. “Stop, Klaus.”Klaus' eyes curled together into a deep frown. “Why should I?” He said, removing her hand from his chest and pulling her to himself bodily making her gasp in shock. “Klaus, What are you doing?”“You gave me right over your body in front of your Bratva and my Cosa Nostra,” He caressed her cheek with his forefinger as one side of his lips curled into a sly smirk. Sila’s eyes narrowed at him. His words infuriated her. “A ruined good you called me,” she whispered challengingly. “I am impure according to your standards, Klaus. Will you be able to stand my impurity?” she asked, she wanted to hear his answer. Klaus clenched his jaws tightly. His nose flared a little as he eyed her body. The formal suit she was wearing hugged her curves tightly at the right places. And those curves were calling him to her. “The fact that someo
Sila took a step back from her husband with numb face. Her heart dropped to her stomach as she stared at Klaus Barbieri. She couldn't believe what she just did. How could she panic in front of her husband like this? How could she do such a stupidity?Klaus' eyes hardened as he witnessed her defenses rising up. He took a step forward and held her shoulder, “What happened to you?” He asked her again, forcing his voice to come out as calm as possible.Sila's eyes widened, her breathing turned heavy at the indication of his question. “Nothing,” She forced the words out. “Sila!” Klaus grabbed her shoulders firmly. “Who was that man?”She flared her nose, controlling her emotions. “I don't know what you are talking about!” She snapped at him. Her insides were churning in anxiety. She didn't want anyone to know about her past. Especially Him!“Sila. Tell me!” Klaus insisted harshly. She jumped, startled. “As I said, I don't know what and about whom you are talking about! Stop imagining a
“Rose, oh my god,” Valentina threw her arms around Rose who was stunned by her reaction. She couldn’t understand the reason behind Valentina's happiness.It was the second time she reacted with this much excitement for her. However, today she was glad for her company because Dmitry’s presence made her anxious.“Hey, Tina,” she said, pulling away from her.Valentina looked behind Rose and frowned. “Don't tell me your overprotective husband sent a bodyguard to college with you. Is he this insecure with you attending college?” she asked with a mocking laugh. Rose opened her mouth to speak but Dmitry interrupted her. “The man you are talking about is Vladimir Sokolov. The Pakhan of Sokolov Bratva. He doesn't get insecure with kids, Madam.”The smile on Valentina's face died. Rose frowned at the comment and she turned around to face Dmitry who fixed her with a stern gaze. “I am here to defend my husband. I do not need you to do that.”Valentina was stunned to see Rose' boldness. The girl
“I was waiting for you,” Klaus' mother said the moment he entered the main area of the Barbieri mansion. “Not now Mother. I am tired. We will talk later,” he said while pinching the bridge of his nose and heaving out a tired breath. “Where is Sila?” He questioned looking at Jessica who frowned at him angrily. “I wanted to talk about your wife.”“What about her?”“Well, can you please tell her not to give problems to Lauren. Her behaviour towards Lauren is rude and it is completely unacceptable to me. Johnathan is our family friend. Had you not married that Russian girl, I would have asked Lauren’s hand for you in marriage. She was perfect to be your bride. But what's done is done. Our wishes didn't matter to you but I still ask you to tell your wife to not ruin our relationships with our friends.”Klaus knew how unhappy his family was about his marriage with Sila. His father silently accepted His demand but they couldn't accept Sila wholeheartedly in their family.Though he didn't c
Rose usually feels uneasy around Dmitry. But today when she stood for herself in front of him, she felt a power she never knew she had in her. She was glad when the car stopped in front of the Sokolov mansion. She was about to open the door of the car when Dmitry stopped her. “It's not your job, Rose. Let me do it for you, I won't let my woman open the door for herself.” Rose' eyes widened in shock. Did he just call her HIS woman? “Dmitry! Do not forget I am your Pakhan's wife.” She chastised him with a glare. He chuckled at that. “Oh come on, Rose. Does he even consider you as his wife?” Dmitry demanded. “He was the same with his first wife too. Cold and selfish. She used to tell me everything, Rose. Everything about how your husband was treating her.” Rose visibly paled hearing that. Vladimir’s first wife. The woman He killed because they had some argument and she angered him. Dmitry's eyes squinted from the corners. He could see she was getting affected by his talks. The in
“She defended you yet again, Pakhan. She said if I tried to flirt with her again she would tell you about it,” Dmitry informed Vladimir who fixed him with a piercing gaze and kept listening to the boasting praise about his wife. “Pakhan, I think we are wasting time with testing her. She is loyal to you. Trust me on this. I only want your happiness. And she deserves a happy life too. Please give her the chance to be your wife. Invest your trust in her and…”“Dmitry!” Vladimir snapped in a sharp cold tone and clenched his jaws. He got to his feet, encircled the table, fisted Dmitry's collar and pulled him to his feet. “I do not need a counselor for my marriage!” He gritted out getting into his face.Only Dmitry had the guts to share his views with his Pakhan openly other than Isaac in the Bratva. Had he not been his best man, Vladimir would have shut his mouth with his pistol. Dmitry blinked, his face blanched of color. “Next time you think about advising me, remember that Vladimir So
Sila opened her eyes from the peaceful sleep. Her gaze went up to her sleeping husband who had enveloped her tightly to his chest. His warmth hugged her into a tight cocoon. For a moment, Sila's heart swelled with emotions she almost forgot to feel. The feeling of love and care. But why was she feeling these things right now? In the arms of her husband who married her for power and politics only. She sighed and moved to get out of the bed but gasped when her husband pulled her back. “Where do you think you are going, Cara?” His deep husky voice tickled into her ear and she turned to him. His eyes were still closed but there was a slight smirk on his lips. It was clear that he was awake. Sila's eyes tightened at his words. “You are awake?” He chuckled at that. “Yes. I am,” he said, opening his eyes and gazing at her softly. “You look angry,” he pointed out while tracing her lower lip with his thumb in a sensual manner. Sila's whole body swelled with goosebumps, she felt a ki
“Will you stop acting like this?” Klaus grabbed his wife's arm and pulled her to himself. Ever since she saw him with Lauren she had been acting cold towards him. Not that there was any warmth between them before but still. Sila's eyes tightened and she pushed him away. “Acting like what?” She demanded. “I am acting on my pride only. I told you before Klaus. I won't accept you fucking another women.” Klaus grabbed her nape and got into her face. For a moment, Sila was startled at his sudden action but then she calmed herself and fixed him with a firm stare. “I want to fuck my woman and nobody else!” Her mind numbed for a moment. She was stunned hearing that. He wanted to fuck her. Heat welled between her thighs and she gulped the tightness in her throat. “What..what are you talking about?” She whispered and weakly tried to get free of his hold. “I am talking about giving me what you promised in front of our Two Mafia worlds, Cara. You promised to sate my manly needs. And I
“No!” Rose screamed when Vladimir downed her jeans from her hips. This was something she wouldn't be able to stand. Fighting him would feed her no success. A monster could only be won with love and devotion. Love and Devotion! She chanted these words like a mantra. Crying, Rose mustered up her courage and cupped his face slowly. “Please don't! You said we will take it slow. Don't break your promise, Vladimir. Don't be a monster!” She said in a broken whisper while looking at him with her watery glinting eyes. Vladmir's nose flared and eyes squinted, “You think you can manipulate me, you little skank!” He snarled as He fisted the front of her panties. “Let's see if you can handle A real man!” with that He ripped her panty apart, and without any warning entered his finger into her warmth.“No!” A cry left her throat as she shook her face still trying to fight him. “A real man would never force himself on his wife! He wouldn't rape her! So tell me Vladimir Sokolov, are you a real man
Rose shut her eyes tightly as tears leaked down her cheeks. “Please don't hurt me!” She cried and her whimpering only angered Vladimir further. “Hurt you!” Vladimir gritted out. His whole body was erupting in anger.Rage blinded him, He wanted to scratch another man’s touch from her body. Because her body was his.Solely HIS!Vladimir couldn't suppress the glaring flames of his dark past in his mind. The flames which birth the Sinner out of him. He had been very controlled and wise in the matters of women but today his little wife yanked that flame out of him which urged him to quench its thrust now. Anyhow! “Where did you let him touch you, Kiska?” Vladimir’s hand slowly slid down as his low dangerous voice sent chills down her spine. Rose gasped loudly as He grabbed her left breast with his left hand.“Tell me!” He sneered and practically ripped the shirt off her body making Rose stiffened in fear before she looked up at the dark glint in his eyes. “No!” She screamed as she look
Rose's cheek burned like raw fire. Her whole body was in pain and her mind was filled with horror which numbed her senses too. She couldn't believe what just happened. Her husband slapped her. Whenever her father used to raise his hand on her and her sister, Rose prayed for her husband to not be the same. But her luck, it once again ditched her. Vladimir Sokolov was worse than her father! The man who once protected her from her father turned out to be more vicious. “Pakhan…” Dmitry took a step forward when he witnessed this but halted himself when he noticed Vladimir’s lethal aura, enraged eyes and clenched fists!“You deceptive whore!” Vladimir uttered lowly as He grabbed her jaws tightly and glared at her with furious eyes. “Today, I will kill you!” his smoldering eyes pierced her heart. She whimpered, her legs turned weak in terror,witnessing the sinner in front of her eyes. “You have no idea what you have called for yourself, Rose!” With that He left her jaws, grabbed her arm
Vladimir Sokolov's body tightened in uncontrollable rage as He kept staring at the picture of his wife and Edward. Together, On the floor!In each other’s arms!KISSING!The hot lava of rage burst out of him. How dare she? He shot out of his chair with his phone attached to his ear as He immediately called Dmitry. Isaac, who has been examining his brother’s condition, got to his feet as well, startled to see his brother's reaction. “Brat, is everything alright?”Vladimir gave him an infuriating gaze while bursting out on the man on the phone call. “How did she get out of the house when I specifically ordered you to cage her inside the Mansion?” His demanding tone suddenly turned the temperature of his office walls down. “Pakhan, I…”“Dmitry!” He interrupted his Vor and ordered him, “Take her to the Sokolov mansion right now!” He growled. “If she stays there for another minute, I will rip you apart!”“As you say, Pakhan,” Dmitry's reply came immediately as Vladimir ended the call,
“You look disturbed, Klaus!” Lauren stated when she found him leaning against the office chair with his eyes closed and breathing heavily. He looked deep in thoughts, as if something was troubling him. Klaus opened his eyes and straightened in his chair heaving out a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. He couldn't get his wife's screams out of his mind. Her pained face, her blank anxious eyes kept haunting him. He wanted to know her fears and end them! He wanted to end that bastard who gave her those horrors. By this time Klaus had known that Sila had some bad past. “Nothing, I was thinking about the old building renovation project.” Lauren silently walked to him and rested her hands on either side of his shoulders. “I can give you a massage, Klaus. It will help you ease the tension out of you,” She whispered in his ear as her hands slided up and down on his shoulders. “You should take care of your health too. I know you will crack every deal…”Klaus held her hands when
“My husband asked you to drive me home, do it,” Rose asked Dmitry as she brushed her tears away with her hand and looked straight into his eyes authoritatively. Dmitry blinked in surprise. “Rose…”“Mrs Sokolov!” She snapped at him, her eyes hard and voice tight. “We are not friends, Dmitry. I won't remind you of this again. If you take my name one more time I will have it snatched, Dmitry!”Dmitry gritted his jaws tightly and nodded as he started driving while Rose sat silently in the car cursing herself for her faltering thoughts. She reminded herself that she was loyal to her husband. What her mind did today regarding Edward was disloyalty and treachery at its peak for her. She couldn't let herself think like that again. It was better for everyone, for herself and Edward too. Because she didn't want Edward to suffer what Danter suffered. One heavy conscience was enough for her. She didn't want another one. She couldn't imagine Vladimir to become like someone, someone like Edward
“Sila,” Boris pulled his daughter into a tight hug when he noticed the color she was wearing. Maroon! The dark bold color she loved and used to wear but stopped because of the tragedy she went through in life.“You look beautiful in this dress my dear girl,” Boris complimented her.Sila’s insides clenched at the compliment, her emotions conflicted between horror and moving out of those horrors. “I don't know why I bought it. It's just…” she stammered a little as she suddenly got conscious about her dress. “You look like my Sila, today. That old carefree girl who used to smile alot and live the life beautifully,” Boris said in a thick tone as his emotions chocked him. “That old Sila is no more alive, Otets,” she let out through the clenched throat. Boris could only stare at his daughter hearing her disheartening words. She heaved out a heavy breath and shook her head slightly while changing the subject. “Where is Vlad?” “With his wife. The girl came here without informing him.”
