Xander’s POV-
I sat on the couch next to Lily’s bed and stared at her with a cold expression. Last night was too much for her and she had lost consciousness afterwards so I had to rush her to the hospital. The doctor said she had a panic attack and her condition could have been worse, had I not rushed here on time. The whole time I was worried as hell as she had not woken up since then and her brother was here as well. “Thank you for protecting my baby sister” he said and I replied with a short and simple, “It’s my work”. He sat near Lily and started patting her head while I moved outside to get intel regarding the situation last night. I am sure the stalker is from a powerful mafia organization and his connections are good as I had not been able to gather much about them. The security guards were already there so I thought to freshen up a bit. I went back to Lily's home, had a bath and then rode my bike to reach a certain place. This was a bar where all the mafia’s were evolved and I had to mask up my face to remain unidentified. “ How can I help you sir?(Russian)” I heard a lady say, she was almost naked covered with a cloth that was merely covering her. She seductively came near me and touched my chest with her hands while I clenched my jaw. “I do need help with something, I hope you can help me,” I said while touching her back slightly and she started withering under my touch like some fish. She guided me to a room and I followed her. She moved forward to kiss my lips but I stopped her with my finger slightly touching her lips which were coated in lip gloss. Gross. “I heard that there was a ruckus there last night,” I asked her and she frowned but still answered. “Yes, Ivankov was fighting with someone from another gang. But I don’t know the details since we were hiding, they even murdered a few of our staff”. “Anything else?” “No just this much” I hummed at her response and she immediately leapt on me while kissing my cheek. But before she could touch my lips I hovered over her while choking her, filthy woman. “Don't you dare touch me or you will be six feet deep in the grave(Russian)". I said with anger dripping down my tone, I just hate women to the core. I went to clean my hands and cheek first after which I exited the bar and immediately went to check on Lily. I entered her room and she was sitting there with a blank face and still eyes staring outside the room’s window. She had finally woken up and her friend was sitting there with her, I thought of coming later but she stopped me. “Mr. Morozov, do you have a minute?” She asked with a serious voice and I froze in my steps. I looked at her turning around but she was still staring at the window being unbothered by anyone. Her friend nodded at me and went outside to give us some space. I went to sit across the bed and for almost ten minutes there was silence. I was waiting for her to say something but she was just sitting there staring outside. “Miss Rivera”, “Mr. Morozov” we both said at the same time and I said, “You go first”. “Um about last night..” she started but stopped in the middle. I could sense that she must be scared for her safety. “Go on” I said and just when I thought that she was worried about herself, she said the most unexpected thing. “Are you hurt anywhere?” She said and finally looked at me with blue eyes. I was baffled by her question and stayed shut for two minutes as I could not process the situation. “Forget I asked that”, she said with anxiousness. “I am totally fine and not hurt” I said to her with a little softness and she looked at me with wide eyes as I patted her head a little. “Hmm”, she hummed and blushed a little at my touch, embarrassed about her question. “Also the doctor had suggested we go home now” She nodded at my words and after some time we left for home. Her brother and friend also followed and she was still not out of the trauma for a whole week. The whole week, she was just hiding in her room, not communicating with anyone, even her brother. Her face had become dull and the only time she left her room was to eat and sit on the terrace at night. Her brother and friend had also left and now only the two of us remained along with the househelp. It was night and I entered her room seeing her sleeping figure. She looked so peaceful while sleeping but when she woke up, goes into her shell again. Although I hate women a lot, this woman had me worried sick for her and for a whole week at that. I sat across the bed and stared at her for a long time. She looked just like a pearl, white, pretty and well beautiful. “You are the first one who has made me feel this way, zhemchug(Pearl)”.(Lily’s POV)It’s been a whole week since that and I need to get myself together but it seems easier than done.I am not able to recover and my mind keeps going back to those bitter memories.Every day I try to indulge myself in other things but it is not helping. I am not sure why this is too much this time.The last time I suffered a panic attack was five years ago when I was kidnapped. Yes, I had been kidnapped and it was awful, I don’t want to undergo that again. The rotten feeling returns to my heart and I succumb to darkness.Supposedly, they wanted money and my father is a billionaire himself, so they used me as bait.They were mafias, I don’t know the details but since that day I started hating them to the core. This time as well I am again tangled up in this bloody stalker mess.They just won’t leave me alone, and I wonder why that guy is obsessed with me.At first, I thought it was all for money but on second thought it was not regarding that. The police informed me that the
(Lily’s POV)“Hey” I heard a husky deep voice and looked around to see Josh, my former college mate. He instantly hugs me, He is strong as ever. “I can't breathe, fucker” I said while I hit his back. “Sorry baby, I could not control seeing you after so long” He said and flashed me a genuine smile. “Sure but be aware of your ridiculous Hulk body, could kill a few” I said while catching my breath. “Oh surely it kills” He said, his tone flirtatious and I rolled my eyes at him. “What do I owe to see you here?” I asked and he frowned. Forgot again, Amnestic bastard. “Yeahh” He said, his expressions conveying he finally remembered after a whole minute of keeping me at the verge of anger. “Say?” I asked again and he nervously smiled at me. I palmed my face and guided him towards my cabin, he followed by babbling something. “You sure are rich girl” I heard him say and smirked at him. “It takes a lot more than talking to build it”, I entered the cabin and asked him to sit on the co
8- Zakat and Alister(Xander's POV) “Man, you sure are tough” I heard him say and continued my work without bothering to look over at him.“Someone might steal your girl” he again babbled.“I heard that some guy is hitting on her, this is not good”, Ziven made dramatic faces while uttering pure nonsense.“You listen-” The next second he was smashed on the floor, wailing in discomfort after my fist landed straight to his face.“I have no business with her”, “You don't have to be so brutal with me, you know,” he said while caressing the place I hit. “Did you look into it?” I asked without turning my head, “Look into what?”.“Oh oh yeah,” he said nervously after receiving my one glare.“Ivankov had a fight with Elion, they were quite fired up, even murdering the people over there”.“Elion?” I asked, finally getting curious, sounds familiar. “Yeah, younger son of Lorenzo Marini, leader of the Italian mafia,” Ziven explained. “Italian? I heard they had made up with Zakat”, “Lorenzo cha
Guilt and Night (Lily’s POV) “Lily it is not your fault baby, please calm down” Beatrice assured me and I nod at her but we both know that I am the killer. Josh had no relation to this mess whatsoever but he was dragged and murdered mercilessly. I have to repent yet another demise, I wonder how I will escape this hell. My conscience is heavy with guilt and it is the biggest punishment you can obtain. “I am fine” I lied to my friends, they are as devastated as me due to this. I had been back to the UK, to freshen up my mind before I went underground. Yes underground. Xander had strictly prohibited me from working until we found that rascal and we needed to move to a more secure place. “He is your bodyguard?” Beatrice asked, pointing at the man sitting at the next table from us. I nodded. “Don’t try to seduce him, he is not your type of a guy” I said before she sprouted any ridiculous thoughts in her mind. “Possessive much” she teased me and I rolled my eyes at her, “She is righ
Kiss of passion(Lily’s POV)I felt his lips over mine, so fucking serene yet thunderous.My eyes were closed as soon as he held my bare waist revealing from my cropped top and my back arched, feeling his rough hand over my spine.Shivers were running around my body but his lips were synching around mine, my lips were fighting with his but it was a gentle one.We were moving with passion and the moonlight fell over our faces, I moved my hand to touch his bearded cheek and we involved our tongues in this game of pure deception.I had never met a guy who kissed me like this, it felt like I am his and his only, through the craving we discovered.We had tried our best to resist this tension but it just seemed to grow more and more and here we are almost eating each other out.It felt exquisite but my breathing was falling short, I tapped his shoulder but he was not in his senses or should I say he did not care about it.I pushed him and he finally separated his lips from mine but not befo
Under the shadows (Warning-This chapter has mature content) Alister’s POV I let out the smoke and leaned back on my throne, it has been a while since I killed someone, two days presumably. I sigh and see a man being dragged my way, he fell down right on my shoes and I lifted his face using my shoe. “Pakhan(leader), we have found the man” said a man and I nodded at him slightly. The man lowered his gaze with terror and I gave him a bored expression, “Name?” . No reply. Bang, I shot his right arm and again asked, this time more calmly, “Name?”.He screamed and started making noises. “G-ggio-gio” he stuttered, I am getting really bored now. I kicked his face that was resting on my shoe. “I don't like to repeat myself yet I did that for you, so answer or go to real hell” I said as I got up, he held my leg, begging for mercy while blood oozed out of his wound. “G-giovanni s-sir, please don’t send me there” he pleaded, his face decolourized. “So you were flirting wit
Dance and gunshot(Lily’s POV)I open my eyes, feeling like being battered on the head, my eyes daring to close again as I adjust to the light falling from the small window in front.I lifted my head with difficulty, I was on the floor tied up, my clothes shattered revealing my struggle to avoid the situation I am in right now.Fear.Fear is what I feel when I hear footsteps again, they approach the door and I move my head slowly, as if to make this a dream but I saw him, he appeared in front.The lustful smirk played on his face, terror engulfed me, he inched closer, my heart throbbing with horror. I could die right now but I cannot, I want to die but he won’t kill me.Tears sealed my eyes, I shut them and thought about the life I had till now but I felt a pull, I came out of darkness.I finally opened my eyes, sweating as hell, my mind blank for a whole minute as Xander questioned me. I felt relief seeing him, he held my face and I forgot the sensation I felt before.The choked fee
The Stalker? Lily's POV “W-who are you?” I barely managed to utter as the man became visible to me. I saw his tattooed chest, his fuller biceps and the anger on his face. Though his face was not really visible that much I was trying to register his face but the lights of the bar were switched off. Will he kill me? “Alister” He said, his voice was different from others, it held the caliber to make others feel terror. “I-i, please leave me, I don't know you” I said almost crying but i controlled my tears, I cannot be scared here. He laughed like a maniac, “leave you say? I did not even hold you yet so i won't leave you”. He was making fun of me, his gun still pointed at my head, it was not even moving an inch. “The important question here is, how could you let that fucker touch you when you have me?” He said. Huh? I have who? Him? He looks good but I am attracted to more than that, I would never care for someone like him. I smirk at him, I don't know how I
