~ RACHEL POVA few days have passed by since the engagement party. Richie’s arm is getting better and he now doesn’t need to wrap a bandage around it. Things had been pretty good and Richie has been very busy both with work and the preparation for John’s wedding. It is so hard to plan a wedding without the media knowing about it. Just as much as Richie is busy, I am also busy. I did a lot of digging for the last couple of days and I have come to discover that Richie Moranzino is hiding behind a fake name that is now being used by the government. I still haven’t gotten the full information about this but once I find out everything, I will avenge my revenge. I’m just a step away from beginning to ruin Richie’s life. That’s a good thing right?Apart from that, I have gotten to know more about Richie’s family members, especially his stepbrother's fiancé Alice. She’s my favorite so far, she is very nice, considerate, friendly and very funny to talk to. I never knew she is such a darling
"Ruin her wedding? Are you drunk? Why will I do that." I say in disbelief.I know Emily doesn’t like me but accusing me of ruining Alice's wedding is just too far."Oh please, stop acting so innocent. I knew that you aren’t good enough the moment your little pussy stepped into this house but what I didn’t know is that you are a wedding whacker.""Enough Emily. Just shut up!" Richie yells at her "What the hell is wrong with you? You can’t talk to Rachel like that."Emily didn’t say a word afterward and I didn’t bother to give her my own share of remark. All I care about is Alice. I don’t really understand what she’s going through but I do know that she is hurt. I walked toward her and she instantly moves away not wanting me to touch her."Not now Rachel," John says; his voice soft and calm.Alice sniffles her tears and she finally looks at me. Her eyes were a bit swollen from the tears she had just shed."Rachel, why?" She says "I think of you as my little sister. I don’t think that I
"You should put those there," I say to the servants that are holding the red carpet. They nod and I tick it mark on my checklist. I approach the other servant that appears to be in his early twenties. "No Ross, she wants white flowers not pink. Change them immediately." I say walking out to the lawn to check if everything is set."Oh wow, that is so beautiful. Great job you guys." I tell the gardeners that are shaping the tree in a heart shape. Now I know you’ll are wondering what’s going on. Well for starters, this is a surprise and to top it all up it’s a surprise wedding for Alice. John knows about it but Alice doesn’t. I don’t want her to know about it at least not until everything is done. I know everyone is stressed and I, in particular, am more stressed than anyone else. I didn’t even get a pleasant sleep last night because I kept thinking about Alice and what I can do to make it up to her. I know how it feels when your past keeps reflecting on your present. It’s like a heal
It’s been a week since Alice’s wedding. I am so glad that nothing bad happened to anyone during those days. I was so worried that the Russians will come and ruin everything but I guess it’s just my anxiety talking. Tonight; Richie and I are having dinner at Cappadocia Restaurant; it’s the most amazing restaurant in America. And the invite is almost impossible to get but you know, it can’t be impossible for Richie Moranzino. I look at my reflection one last time before heading out of the room. I am wearing a black cocktail dress Marta recently designed for me. It’s very beautiful and it fits like a glove, hugging in the right places. It is an off-shoulder gown so it is wrapped around my shoulders, showing my neck which I top up with a simple Cartier necklace. I stepped into a pair of black heels, grabbed my purse, and then head out of the room. Walking down the stairs, I see Richie pacing around in the living room. "Yes... yes, of course. That will not be happening." Richie says, ta
AIDEN SMIRNOV’S POVI am working with my puzzle box when one of my men walked into the room.He better has something good to say otherwise he will join his colleagues in their graves."я прихожу с миром и ухожу с миром [I come in peace and I leave in peace]" He says with his gaze down. No one dares to look me in the eye"Поговори со мной [Speak to me]" I say"Каждое их движение фиксируется, как вы и сказали. Я просто жду приказа, как только вы дадите мне слово, я приму их все [Every movement of theirs is being captured like you said it should. I am just waiting for orders, once you give me the word, I will take them all]""Я не хочу их всех, по крайней мере пока. [I don't want them all, at least not yet.]" I say with an expressionless smirk. I continue to play with my puzzle box. Two more sides left to complete this damn thing. "Убедись, что с моими дамами ничего не случится. Я позабочусь о них сам. [Make sure that nothing happens to my ladies. I will take care of them myself.]" I say
It’s been two days since we arrived in Hawaii and it’s been amazing so far. I don’t even think I want to go back home. We spend most of our time on the beach but tonight we decided to shuffle things a little bit. We are going to a club.I finished getting ready, I wore a black chase-desire one-shoulder mini dress with matching heels, I stretch my hair and then apply an ash glitter eyeshadow, nude lipstick, and a touch of mascara."You look hot," Richie says standing at the door. I look at him through the mirror and I respond with a smile. He smirks and the second he approaches me, he hugs me from behind and buries his head against my shoulder."I don’t think It’s a good idea to let you go out wearing this outfit." He huskily says against my neck "Why is that?" I ask"It makes me crazy and I know letting you go out with this dress on will make others go wild." He sucks on my neck as he muffles the words out "And who said I care about others, I don’t care about their stares and looks.
The second we walk into the apartment, Richie smashes his lips against mine, as if he is trying to flatten and destroy my mouth. I hungrily pushed back, my mouth open, tongue pushing past his clenched teeth to the moist space within. The bristles of his beard scratched against my soft cheeks and I gripped his head firmly as if to keep him from escaping. I work my mouth against his, our tongues battling back and forth like wrestlers, each trying to pin the other.Richie then lifts me off the ground, and I wrap my legs around his waist. He kisses me and I kiss him back with the same intensity, filling his mouth with my tongue. He walks us upstairs to his room without breaking the kiss."I can't wait to fucking have you," Richie says, his lips still against mine as he kicks open the bedroom door.He lays me gently on the bed and releases my lips. I stare at him breathlessly, missing his touch already. I don’t know what’s going on in my head but I know for sure I will regret this decision
My eyes went wide and my breath got caught in my throat. "Rachel." I hear Richie say, he flickers the lights on and I knew there was no hiding now.I swallowed any courage I had left and slowly stood to meet his intense look. "Richie," I say trying to crack and smile and make things better."What are you doing here, Rach?" "I- Uhm…."I look around the room as I mentally wrack my brain thinking of an excuse. "I was thirsty."Oh God! I should have thought of something better. Why will a thirsty person come to the closet? "Thirsty?" He says questionably. His eyes twitch as he takes a deliberate step forward."Yeah…I…was...Uhm thirsty... But then, I got here to…uhm get my phone….to message Rebecca." "Message Rebecca?" He rise a questioning brow"Yeah, I needed to remind her that she…uhm… has that fasting thing tomorrow," I say. Oh God, what kind of excuse was that? Fast! Seriously!"Uhm…, Okay.""Yeah, it’s very important for her health.""Okay…We should go back to sleep." He says "
