The sound of their laughter rang in her ears. She was numb. Their faces. Their ugly mocking words for her. But her numbness vanished the moment he moved towards her with predatory steps and she screamed in horror. “No!” Her eyes snapped open while her heart raced in utter dread as she looked around to spot those three men who snatched her sanity from her for years.But instant relief filled her heart when her eyes landed on her husband Klaus. “Sila…” Klaus held her face into his hands and got into her face. “Are you alright?” He asked, tension and worry laced his features and love was shining in his gaze for her. “Tell me what happened there, Cara? You were alright when we left for the party. What happened suddenly?”Sila's eyes welled with tears as those horrible blue orbs flashed into her vision. She opened her mouth to tell him who she saw there but stopped. She didn't know how he would react. What if he felt disgusted with her? The thought flashed in her mind and words died on
“The painting is beautiful, Klaus,” Sila commented on the painting and he raised his eyebrows. “You like it, Cara.”She gave him a small smile. “Yes. Who wouldn't.”Klaus looked at her. “Do you want it?”She blinked at him. “I wish. But it's not for sale.”Klaus chuckled at that. “You are Klaus Barbieri’s wife. Anything or everything you desire becomes yours for the taking,” he whispered before getting closer and kissing her neck with a soft peck.Sila blushed heavily and looked at him with light scolding eyes. “Enjoy this painting, till I come back,” with that he walked away.A few minutes passed by, Sila was enjoying the said painting until a particular voice she wanted to forget but couldn't, buzz into her ear. “Beautiful isn’t it, My Dear Sila.”Sila's heart stopped for a moment. That singing voice! She turned numb but her feet turned icy cold as her nose filled with the same nauseous scent she smelled that horrible day. “How are you doing, darling?”Ever so slowly she turned arou
“Did he hurt you?” Vladimir asked his sister immediately after they reached an isolated place. Sila looked at him confused. “Who?” She asked carefully as her heart thudded loudly in fear. If her brother found out what Francesco did, he would not only end him but everyone from the Barbieri mansion. “Klaus, who else? Did he hurt you?” Vladimir snapped coldly. “Of course not. He could never hurt me, Vlad,” she answered proudly, however a voice in her mind nagged her to tell him what Francesco did. But Sila silenced it thinking about Klaus. Vladimir’s gaze narrowed further. “Then why did you bring me here? What do you want to talk about?” “Well I wanted to ask whether you are making any efforts to win Rose' heart or not. Are you trying anything to show her how much you love her?” Sila asked with teasing tone. “You brought me here to talk about this nonsense?” He scolded his sister who rolled her eyes at him and gave him a pointed stare. “You my dear brother are losing the m
Rose looked at Vladimir and blinked in confusion. “But he…” She stopped when she noticed the sudden change in her husband's eyes. She knew she had once again crossed the line.Sila smiled at her brother and gave him a side hug. “Vlad. How are you?” She asked as she smilingly nodded at Rose.Rose returned that smile and glanced at her brother whose gaze was fixed on her too. “Rose,” Klaus moved forward and pulled his sister into a hug as well. Vladimir had no other choice but to leave his wife. Although He didn't like it. “Can we talk?” Sila whispered into her brother's ear, making Vladimir protectively look at her. “Is everything alright?” He demanded, the first thought that came to his mind was if Klaus had hurt her. Sila smiled and He immediately nodded in answer. For a moment, his eyes went to his wife. He didn't want to leave her alone with Klaus but again, talking to his sister was more important. “Rose,” he said, gaining his wife's attention. She turned towards him and smil
How could she forget that He was the Sinner? Even if He acted gentle and all sweet with her, cruelty can't be sucked out of her husband’s blood. Rose swallowed the tightness and uneasiness in her throat as she looked into his glinting eyes and the twisted small smirk playing on his lips.“Why did you hurt him?” She couldn't help but ask him. Vladimir looked at her as if she had lost her mind. “Why? You told me he touched you.”Rose couldn't believe him. “But you asked him to do so. Then why did you punish him? He was only following your orders.” She asked, she genuinely wanted to know exactly how he thinks. She wanted to know his thoughts. “Anyone who touches what’s mine would end up either dead or severely injured. He is alive because he was following my orders. Still he must have kept his hands to himself.” He proudly said. Rose could only blink. She was numb. Completely numb. Vladimir grabbed her arm and gestured for Dmitry to move away which he did. Immediately! He pushed his
Rose was astonished as she stared at the man standing in front of her. Her bodyguard-cum-driver. Dmitry. A knowing look glinted his eyes which scared Rose as much as the condition he was in. Bruised jaw and a long unhealed scar running his face along with a bandaged arm and hand. He was in such a bad condition that had he not been standing this close to her she wouldn't be able to recognise him. “Dm…Dmitry? Is that you?” She asked as she blinked in horror. His nose flared ever so slightly but instead of saying anything he looked down and opened the door of the car for her before gesturing with his hand for her to get inside. “What happened to you?” She asked him in complete and utter horror. However, instead of answering her question he crossed his hands in front of her and looked down. “Please get inside, Mistress.” Rose shook her head again. “No. I won't until you tell me what the hell happened to you.”“You are wasting your time Babochka, he wouldn't be able to answer your qu
