"Do you want me to back down from my throne? Is that what you are asking? Do you want me to give you my title, my position as Bratva Pakhan?" Aleksandr asked after a moment of silence. Aria shook her head. "No. I don't want you to back down from your throne. I want you to share it with me. As I said, Aleksandr, I want you to give me an equal footing in Bratva. Equal power to order Soldiers, equal power to make decisions. I want to be with you when you make high-end decisions," Aria moved closer to him and rested her palm on his chest. "I want half of everything you own, Aleksandr. Be it your soul, your heart, your money, your power or Your Bratva.”Aleksandr had a choice. A choice to make this woman his for the rest of his life if He gives up the most precious thing of his life. His pride and Power. The woman is after everything He owns, she would have it anyway because she now rules his heart. “Aleksandr, this love is going to be your death!” His inner monster whispered while sta
Aria eyed the blonde nurse who was stealing glances at Aleksandr while checking her blood pressure. The previous nurse was an old lady but due to some family emergency she was on leave. Now, her duty was handed over to this blondie who had been ogling her husband since she came to the room. Aria eyed her husband, He was busy talking to someone over the phone in the corner. Only his left profile was visible but He looked like one dashing hot piece of cake. Aria was glad that He was not staring back at the nurse. Because if He had turned his ocean blue eyes on the nurse in that way, she would have plucked his eyes out of their sockets. Yes, Aria was possessive and territorial. "How is it?" She asked the nurse in a sharp tone. The blonde woman finally averted her gaze to Aria and raised her brows in askance. "I am sorry I didn't hear your question, Madam. Can you repeat it?”"You will if you stop gawking at my husband and focus on your work!" She snarled, making the girl startled by t
“Hello Aria, I never thought I would hear from you this soon." Diego said in a friendly tone as if they were some long-lost friends. Aria closed her eyes and let out a small sigh. "Hello Diego. It's been a while since we last talked. How are you doing?” She asked, opening her eyes and setting them on the door to make sure no one was on the other side of the door or listening to her as she spoke. "A month precisely, right. How are you feeling? I hope I didn't hurt you too badly."Aria chuckled. "Those people whom I consider important to me can hurt me badly Diego. And you, my dear friend, don't cross that list." "You hurt me, Aria. I thought we were on the same track. You, your brother and I…""Shut up you son of a bitch!" Aria interrupted her before he could finish the sentence. "And listen to me. If you don't stop this nonsense, I will snatch your life out of your body. Do you hear me? Stop hurting Aleksandr. I am silent because of my brother. His involvement with you is the onl
"I was thinking about my family. Mom must be worried about me," Aria said, holding his hand and taking it away from her chin politely. Aleksandr eyed the gesture silently and pulled his hand back.His brows pulled together. "You mom," He sighed and nodded. “... Yes. She is really worried about you. Fine, let's go to your home first. You will meet your mother and I will meet my Dinara. She was tense for me when you were shot."Aria frowned. "Worried about you when I was shot? Are you not mistaking your sentence? I was the injured party here, Aleksandr."He smiled. "But I was the one dying in pain, Aria." He said with all the sincerity in his eyes that Aria's breathing hitched for a moment. Aleksandr was looking at her so unpretentiously that she even forgot to blink her eyes. Aleksandr chuckeld when she kept staring at him, "what are you staring at? Say something." "Who are you, Aleksandr? And what have you done to the man who was my sworn enemy?" She couldn't help but ask him, sti
Aleksandr was staring at the dark sky outside the window of his room. Aria came and hugged him from behind. "I was waiting for you in bed and you were staring at the sky. Now I feel jealous of it, husband."Aleksandr sharpened his eyes and sighed before turning around and gazing into her beautiful grey eyes. Aria frowned at his serious expression. "Is everything alright?" She asked him."Are you hiding something from me, Aria? Anything you think I should know about?" He answered her question with a question of his own. Aria's eyebrows straightened. "No. Why would I hide anything from you? And if you want to ask me something, ask clearly, Aleksandr."Aleksandr raised his chin and blew out a breath. "They say it true, Love is like a slow poison. It eats you slowly, sweetly and you let it. Love is like a poison.""Alexander, are you trying to say something?" Aria asked as she found his words dubious."Poetry. I was trying my hand at poetry. I heard somewhere that love turned men into poe
Dinara blinked a few times when she found her mother standing in the doorway with Leigh. Her heart escalated as she rested her hand protectively on her belly. "Mama?" She whispered before giving an accusatory gaze to her friend for bringing her mother there. "Yes. It's been many days since I saw you last time. You didn't come to see me just like Aleksandr. So I came to talk to you. I am a mother after all. Ignoring my children's mistakes is my obligation," she said with a sigh. "Is there a private place somewhere we can sit and talk?"Dinara swallowed her saliva in fear but nodded. "My room or garden. Wherever you want.” She whispered, taking a step back. It looked as if she was asking them to enter but the truth was that Dinara was scared. Scared of her own mother."Garden would be a better option," Leigh said to Nikita who nodded. "Garden it is then, shall we?" Nikita asked Dinara, whose heart stopped for a moment only to start racing at a record speed. She nodded. "Ye..yes." She
Aria looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes shining brightly just like the day of her first potential marriage after which she was going to get Cosa nostra. But that day, that moment got ruined brutally. Today she will get everything back. She will not fail herself this time. She was dressed into a beautiful high slit red dress. Her lips were painted red too, she looked like the queen that she was. Aleksandr entered the room and walked towards her. He was under spell by her beauty. His wife was not looking less than a bewitching goddess today. He stood behind her watching her in the mirror. He rested his hands on her forearms and let out a deep breath. "Beautiful. You look beautiful," He complimented her beauty, watching her intensely in the mirror. Aria squinted her gaze, "Call me your queen, not beautiful, Aleksandr. I have waited so long for this day."He chuckled. "My Queen. You are the queen of my heart, Aria."Aria's eyes glowed at his words. "Is there something I should k
"Nuts?" Leonus asked Lucas who bought the chocolates for him. "I checked," Lucas answered, handing him a box full of chocolate and an ice cream tub. He decided to drop him off after the night party seeing his lunatic condition. Leonus took both those things from his friend and stepped out of the car only to stumble on his feet. "Leo, you are too drunk to walk alone. Let me help you." Lucas said, coming out of the car and grabbing his shudders to stop him from falling down. "I am fine, You can leave Lucas. I got it," he said, pushing his friend away from him. Lucas nodded and left from there with his car while Leonus walked to his room hiding from his mother. Recently, she was always scolding him for the way he treats Dinara. The girl was a major pain in his ass. Well not only in his ass but his head too. He shook his head as he tried to clear his head of the disturbing thoughts about Dinara. "The plan is simple, Leo. Give her the things and walk out of the room immediately. Give he
