|| AZRAEL DE LUCA'S POV ||The air smelt like blood. My surroundings were completely foggy, blocking my eyes to see through the fog. I coughed hard, smelling the gas fume which could cause nausea. I assumed that the incident had happened within just a few moments. My guards were still unaware about the attack." DAD!!!", Kiera shouted out in a cry, ran from my side to find her dad on the couch. My eyes darkened when I saw the blood, spurting from his chest. He was shot a few times, still alive but I didn't know for how long he would hold on. I quickly scanned around my eyes to find my son, called him out loud," RYAN!!! RYAN!!"My stomach scrunched in fear of seeing my son dead. His grandfather was shot which meant that he was targeted too. Either dead or alive, Ryan should be around nearby. I couldn't wait for David or my guards to appear here. Walking through the heavy layer of smoke, I strode upstairs in search of Ryan, calling him loudly on the way," Ryan! Son! Where are you? Rya

|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Congratulations on becoming the youngest CEO!", another CEO came to greet me at the business party. I thanked him, pretending to smile," Thank you!"I toasted the glass and drank the wine. My eyes were always looking around, searching for a familiar face subconsciously. A week had passed since my father died. After I was done with Luca, he never approached me again. I was back to my normal, trouble-less life but I was missing a part of my heart.

This young CEO Gary, continued to chat, spiking conversation unreasonably," I heard that you were dating, Mr.Luca. Why isn't he here with you? Honestly Kiera! I must tell you this. That man is complicated. You should find a better man who is younger like me!"I gave him a cold glance and excused myself, feeling suffo

|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Don't.. don't you dare to come to me..Luca will kill you, Marcello!", I shouted at him weakly as he started to press me to a corner. After he said that he wanted to fuck me in front of everyone, Cassendra, that bitch left me alone. Those guys also dared not to stay and exited hurriedly.Marcello hussed me, peeking at the door before saying in a low voice," Don't talk too much! I am here to save you. I don't lay hands on women who belong to someone else. Anyways,you have to pretend that I have really raped you in front of them. Do you understand? Luca will be here in a minute. You must pretend that you are scared of me."I stared at him blankly, wondering why he was helping his enemy. I couldn't help but ask in a whisper," Why.. why are you helping me? I don't understand.."He shot a glare at me before instructing me," You ask too much. Ask your man if he stays alive. Now, tore apart your clothes and make yourself look like a tortured woman.

However, my wishful dream had finally come true with the help of this man who was holding the other hand of my son. He looked so handsome in his wedding suit that I could barely take my eyes off from him. He was too happy. I could feel it through his eyes. Our wedding was simple but I felt like it was the best thing that ever happened in my life. My dearest son became my ring bearer today who got big kiss from his favorite daddy for giving us the ring. Okay! I wasn't his favourite..He said the other day.. Hopefully, my twins would love me more than their brother. I was six months pregnant with a big belly. I wanted my twins to see the wedding but Luca didn't want to wait to think that something would go wrong again. I fulfilled his wish by admitting that It was okay to marry whenever he wanted.
