Alina had her eyes glued on to the screen of the television, watching her favourite series in the living room whilst Mariposa and Naomi cleaned the house and prepared dinner. It had been a week since she found out she was pregnant and ever since, she made sure to be very careful in how she did things. Mariposa and Naomi were always at her beck and call, making sure she felt as comfortable as ever whilst Dante was away. Her morning nausea increased rapidly and it irked her so much that every morning she had to throw up but whenever she remembered the life growing within her, it gave her bright and radiant smiles. The baby growing inside her was a symbol of she and Dante's love. Alina couldn't help but wonder how Dante would react knowing he was going to be a father. She would always find herself lost in her thoughts and daydreaming, her mind conjuring the different reactions of Dante but nevertheless, she knew he would be so happy to know about it. Probably happiness w

DANTE My heart has been shattered into pieces and I feel so livid than ever. I thought Alina loved me. I thought she was very different from the rest of her kind but she turned out to be even worse. She really managed to get me to fall for her just for her father's and her selfish motive. I came back home that day with such a glee on my face, I was itching to see Alina and surprise her. Only for me to amble upstairs and overhear Nikolia reminding Alina of the reason she was sent to my mansion.I always had my doubts about her from the moment we married but she managed to fool me into believing she had nothing of that intention.Fuck! I feel like such a fool. I feel like a puppet. I can't believe I let her into my heart in the first place and lowered down my guard for that whore. She really slept with me all because she wanted to gain out of me. If anyone ever told me that Alina was so cunny and untrustworthy, I would have definitely killed that person for spitting

ALINAIt's heartbreaking to discover that the people you thought would never turn their back against you are the ones now serving you pain in a platter of gold. It's shatters you when it comes from your family, the people who are suppose to be your moral support in times of distress and need.It's more heartbreaking when you look into their eyes and you see those warm orbs, once clothed in care and affection now carrying nothing but hate and disgust for you. When the person you thought was the best part of your life turns against you in such a brutal manner, it makes you wonder if there's anything like trust and loyalty.If anyone ever told me that Dante could treat me like this after we had confessed our feelings to each other, I would have definitely not believed and call the person a liar. Here I was, receiving all the pain, heart break and lies all wrapped together. It was an unending labyrinth of secrets for me.I wanted to know who was behind all the attacks on us and y

ALINA I slowly opened my eyes which felt like they weighed the size of a dumbbell.For a split second, I forgot what had transpired through out these couple of days and expected to see myself all cuddled up in Dante's duvets. But slowly it dawned on me that I wasn't dreaming, I was living a freaking nightmare.The hot rays of the sunlight filled the entire rooom making me realise that I had definitely spent the night in here. I blinked my eyes repeatedly in a fit of panic trying to make out where I was but I ended up letting out a shriek as I accidentally fell to the floor. I howled in pain and caressed my elbows, slowly sitting up straight.I pivoted to check what I fell from. I had fallen from a wooden red couch.I began looking around this somehow distinct room I was laid in, taking in the surroundings. The room seemed so distinct, like I had been here before or seen it before. The walls were painted brown.I looked forward and spotted a huge wooden table and also a swer

DANTE The ride to Nikolia's home felt like an entire century. My anxiety and anger boiled, tightening my chest and making it hard for me to focus on anything apart from Alina. My capos bickered unnecessary, rolling out plans endlessly but I couldn't even hear them.The only thing I could hear was the heavy thumping of my heart which seemed to resound in my ear, blocking out all other sounds.Nikolia gave me just twenty four hours to come meet him and hell was I ready to face that bloody motherfucker. Threatening me is one thing but kidnapping Alina and turning her into his punching bag is something I can't tolerate.I'll never tolerate it.I already feel like a big fool and an idiot for turning against Alina. I'm really trying to redeem myself.I fear Alina hates me already. Fuck.My mind is in turmoil.Whenever it comes to Alina, I go blank and nothing seems to make sense.I just want to go rescue her. I had no time to plan out a formation of men. The only thing I did was to make s
