|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" What do you want from me?", I asked coldly, stepping out of the room to find Jasper, standing a few feet away. He looked more vulnerable than other times. His face had a growing beard. He looked like aged overnight.I didn't wish to meet him. After what he had done to Anastasia, I felt disgusted with him. For the sake of our past relationship, I decided to let him talk to me for once. He seemed happy too after I appeared in front of him.I stayed in a remarkable distance, and wanted to call it off as early as possible. Jasper muttered, watching me closely," You are really here. I didn't expect you to come."I ignored his fake concern and repeated my question again," What do you want Jasper? Anastasia doesn't work here anymore. I really don't have time to gossip with you here."He stayed silent for a second but the next moment, he surprised me with his question," Are you really dating Mr. Luca?"Fuck..Did he come here all the way to ask me this?I didn't

|| KIERA STEVENS'S POV ||" Who is the paparazzi? Bring him to me NOW!!", Luca shouted at his phone, passing his order to Matteo who was out to search for the guy who exposed our son to the public. I kept staring at the released photos. It was taken in the evening when I went to the local stores. I couldn't believe that I had no privacy in my life anymore.He was mad at me, so mad that he wasn't talking to me. However, I couldn't blame him because the entire trip was my idea. I seduced him to bring us to this distant island. But I had no idea that there were so many spy paparazzi who followed us everywhere.Now, the fear had grown stronger because the news of Ryan was all over the internet. The Russians were definitely going to know everything. The thought of Ryan being in danger made everything worse inside me.Luca made a few calls, arranging more guards to secure Ryan. He wanted to take down the photos but it was too late already. When we were playing in the water, those photos wen

|| KIERA STEVENS's POV ||" You aren't fucking going anywhere!", Luca shouted, dragging in as I stumbled, struggled from his grip. Ever since the gift arrived, he was acting unreasonably mad. At first, he ended the party then asked for his tropes to come over so that we could return to the house with extra protection. The show was exaggerating. With ten cars following behind us, it felt nothing less than a ministry.I finally managed to jerk away his hand, shouted back rubbing on my aching arms," Can you tell me what is going on? I have to take the course, Luca. You know what? What's the meaning of this gift?"He looked more scared than angry, pacing back and forth around the room. He exhaled heavily but didn't tell me at once. After taking a few strides towards me, his voice broke in like a cold whisper," The Russian..Don..he is coming for you..or Ryan..I..I don't know..but those dead flowers... mean warning.."I went numb at the spot. I thought that we could live happily now witho

|| Kiera Stevens's POV ||" How is she doing?", Luca asked the doctor, barely in the whisper. I saw the fear in his eyes. I knew that apart from us, he cared for his sister the most. And his guilt was eating him alive everyday. Nothing could be more painful than feeling the guilt in your heart.Sister Ainslen had fainted after causing a ruckus to the house. She was always shouting and breaking stuff which made her exhausted. The maids said that she never acted so violent before this ever. I wondered what was the reason behind this.The doctor let out a helpless sigh, standing up to face Luca," It's the same,Luca! I feel like she doesn't want to recover herself."Luca's eyes flashed with remorse. I knew that he felt the stab of guilt again. The doctor continued, hesitating to tell the truth," I suggest you to send her to asylum.. probably.."" NO!!!", Luca cut off sharply, silencing everyone. I noticed his eyes, getting moistened slowly but he looked away as usual to cover his vulner

|| KIERA STEVENS's POV|| I loved nights in Italy. It was my second trip to this country and I was loving it already. I looked back at Luca on the bed who was fast asleep. His answer to my previous question was nothing but an intense kiss. Indirectly, he was telling me that if he wanted to hurt me, there was only one possibility that he would hurt me by loving too much. Tugging him under the blanket carefully, I tiptoed on the corridor to look at the sea ahead. Sister Ainslen's mansion was too beautiful. I heard that she liked the sea the most. So, Luca bought this mansion for her which was very close to the sea. Standing in the corridor, I spotted David in the distance who was facing the sea probably smoking. I had curiosity regarding his intentions with sister Ainslen. I had to figure it out. So, I walked forward to him, knowing that Luca wasn't going to wake up so soon. " David...", I called him, standing behind him to see him, throwing the cigarette away quickly. He bowed at me s
