Aria eyed the flying eagle tattoo on her wrist. Her hand was sore with all the needles used on it today. She traced every curve and every line of the eagle in the air. This was her crown, her dainty crown."Are you happy, Tigress?" Aleksandr asked as He came behind her and held her by the waist, pulling her into his arms. Aria smiled, and their eyes met in the window glass as she was standing near the window. "Very," she answered, looking straight into his eyes. His Beautiful ocean-blue eye. "What else do you want Aria? Tell me, Say it and it's yours. I want you to be happy with me. Whatever you want, it's yours."A slight frown came to her brows. "Why are you being so generous?" She asked as she turned around in his arms. His lips pulled into a small smile while his eyes were fixed on hers. "What do you think?" He asked instead of answering."I think you want to get laid. That's why you are being overly generous. But I am a woman who knows what she wants, Aleksandr. Be careful wit
"Arrest me?" He repeated slowly and Aria jerked hearing his words. For a moment, her breathing stopped. Diego, that sneaky bastard!"Val. The bastard," He muttered under his breath. "Fine, let them come inside. I don't want my guests to wait for me," He said tightly before ending the call. "What is it? What happened?" Aria asked as she stretched the sheet from her feet to cover herself.Aleksandr's jaws twitched as He cursed wildly. "That fucking commissioner! I am going to rip him apart." He growled as He got off his bed and went to his closet. Aria fisted her hands, her sharp nails dug into her palms. She peeled the sheet off her body, got out of the bed and followed Aleksandr to the closet. He was getting dressed in a plain white full-sleeved T-shirt and a black trousers while talking to someone.Aria donned into a modest nightdress of her own. She was angry and irritated with what was happening. Unlike other wives, Aria didn't cry. No, she was in fight mode. She wanted to see
"What are you doing?" Leonus asked when Dinara plopped on the couch beside him. His brows stretched together seeing her beaming face. Dinara moved close to Leonus and took his arm, “What does it look like, Baby?" She said with a smile etched to her face. "I am learning baking for you. Your mother told me how much you love cakes. See I baked this cake especially for you. And just wait for tomorrow, you won't believe it after seeing my surprise.""Surprise, what surprise and You went to the kitchen again?" Leonus asked, with a bewildered expression on his face. "I told you not to go there."Dinara rolled her eyes to him, "stop taunting me about that incident again and again. It's a long time ago and your mother has been teaching me how to cook since then," she smiled and blew him a kiss. "You see baby, cooking is the least of the things I can do for you. I can bring you the stars and moon from the sky if you want."Leonus sighed mentally. It had been two days since that night he lost
Aleksandr was cleaning his gun, sitting on the sofa when his wife came to him. "Why are you cleaning your gun?" Aria asked him. Aleksandr placed the gun on the table and pulled Aria into his lap. Aria sighed and settled comfortably there, "I hope you are not thinking about using them anytime soon."He nodded. "What's wrong if I am?" He asked her with a twisted smile and caressed her hips. Aria's eyes hardened at his answer, "No, Aleksandr. I told you to keep your anger and monster leashed for a while. Sandra also advised you to do the same."Aleksandr rolled his eyes when she mentioned His PR head. The lady was a severe pain in his ass. "She did, and it's her job to clear my mess. So she can deal with a little gunfight."Aria narrowed her gaze. "Well sorry to burst your bubble of excitement but you can't afford a little gunfight. Your image is at stake or have you forgotten about it?" She almost snapped at him. "And now that I am asking, tell me, who do you want to have a gunfight w
"Happy Birthday, Leonus," Dinara's boisterous voice froze him for a second when he entered his home. He looked around the house, his whole family was standing there, clapping and cheering for him. From his grandparents to his parents and uncle and aunt. His cousin Selena. He looked at all of them, from his sister and the man he hates the most, Aleksandr. Mikhail. Dinara's brother with his wife."How do you like my surprise, baby?" Dinara asked, gesturing around the decoration as she walked to him and hugged him tightly before giving a small peck on his lips. Leonus didn't react in any way, he couldn't. He kept standing there shocked, angry and silently. Dinara turned to his friends. "Thank you for coming here, sparing your time. I will be forever grateful.""Happy Birthday Leo," his friends, Shane and Lucas greeted him. He looked at them, "You both knew about this?" He asked sharply. Lucas and Shane looked at each other. "Mrs Knight called us and asked not to remind you of your bir
"He called me last night and asked me to come to Kingston with his money," Leonus said as he took a huge puff of the cigarette he was smoking. Aria fisted her hand as she walked to the window and stared at the dark gloomy sky. "When?" She asked in a stiff tone. "Sunday. I am going there with Lucas and Shane." Aria shook her head. "No. You are not going alone. I am coming with you. I want to have a heart-to-heart chat with that son of a bitch." She gritted out as she watched the moonless sky. The look in her eyes matched the colour of the sky. Dark and Angry.Leonus walked up to her and chuckled. "What will you do there, Bratva queen? I mean this is Cosa Nostra Business."Aria closed her eyes and inhaled sharply before turning to her brother and giving him a stern glare. "You are wrong Leonus. This is not only Cosa Nostra's business but Bratva's business too. He tried to attack the Bratva King and he shot Not only The princess of Cosa Nostra but the Bratva queen. And He still has th
"You ordered another cake, Mrs Knight?" Dinara asked when the butler approached Bella informing him about the cake delivery men at the door. Dinara was hurt by what her mother-in-law did. She never thought Bella would ditch her like this."If you didn't like my cake then you should have told me that, why did you lie?" Dinara asked as she couldn't hold her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes. First Leonus insulted her in front of his sister a few minutes ago and now her mother in law. Bella looked at her pitifully. "No Dinara. I didn't order any cake. Why would I do that when I helped you bake one yesterday?" She said resting her hand on Dinara's cheek, "You poor soul, please don't cry."She sniffed and shook her head. "I shouldn't have organised this surprise party. I am an embarrassment for Leonus."Bella's brows stretched together. "What do you mean you are an embarrassment for him? Did he say something to you?" She asked Dinara sternly. Dinara sniffed again as she tried to con
"What in the hell is happening there!" Aria snarled as she looked at Leonus. He had his gun pulled out thinking that the mansion was attacked as Diego's words suddenly rang in his ears. But He ignored them, they couldn't be true. Diego wouldn't dare to attack Velenoso's mansion. This could be something else. Might be possible, his dad killed Aleksandr and the other Russian dogs that came with him. Yes, this was what happened, he told himself. Because Diego wouldn't dare to attack His house. Velenoso House. "I think your husband started fighting with Dad and Dad killed him." He joked while pulling another gun from his pants. "Shut up Leo!" She snapped at him while snatching the gun out of his hands. Just then, the sound of firing bullets after bullets started sounding through the house. Aria's eyes widened in horror, "Leo, the house is under attack!” Aris said as she ran outside.Colour drained from Leonus' face, he cursed wildly before unlocking his gun and running out of the room
