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 "
I pull myself out of the swimming pool, the water run down my body, and a refreshing breeze blows through my hair and I flip it to one shoulder. The sun kisses my skin as I exit the pool. I wanted to go swimming on the beach but Richie thinks it isn’t a good idea for some reason I still don’t know. The swimming pool isn’t that bad so I guess I don’t have a good enough reason to be mad at him today. I grab a towel and was rubbing it all over my body when I caught Richie staring at me. His mouth is slightly open and he takes his sunglasses off to have a clearer view of me. His eyes are wide and raking over my body. A smile tug around the corner of my lips as I realized he was checking me out. This man is gradually falling for me. Richie didn’t move from his position, it was like he was rooted on the spot, just staring at me. Taking advantage of his distraction, I stalk over to his side, smiling sweetly. When I got close to him, I raise my hand and put them on his bare chest, making
I bite my lips as I pace the room. It's been a few hours since Richie and John went to get Alice back and I have been freaking out since that time. When they left I change into a casual outfit; a black plain top, blue jean shorts, and a pair of boots. Grace has been with me since that time. She says she is scared that if she leaves me, something bad will happen to me and she won’t be able to face Richie. I understand that she’s worried for me but I still think she’s overreacting. Right after Richie left, he texted me saying John doesn’t want me to inform any of the family members about Alice’s kidnap. He doesn't want them to worry about her. I understand why he said that but I think it wouldn’t make any difference. This is Richie Moranzino’s family we are talking about. His life is made up of glass there is no way no one will know about it. I’m pretty sure that social media is already blasting information about Alice’s kidnapping. After that, Richie tells me that if he doesn’t come b
~RACHEL’S POVI stand behind the doctor as she runs some tests on Alice. I bite my lip looking at the doctor, is it just me, or do all doctors have a kind of face that is expressionless, you can never guess what’s on their mind, they are just too practical. Both in good and bad terms doctors stiff their faces like they have no joy at all. Curiosity grew in my mind as the doctor placed her hand on Alice’s stomach to feel her baby. I look at Alice and see how worried she is, I hold her hand, trying to make her feel better. Alice didn’t bleed between her legs so I think her baby will be fine. I hope so.I watch how the doctor's expression remained neutral as she brings out her stethoscope, she puts the ear part into her ear and she feels it around Alice’s stomach for about thirty seconds. The doctor removes the stethoscope from around her. She writes down something on her notepad and then places it on the side stool.Anxiety was eating me up as I wait for the doctor to speak. I feel so i
Our flight to New York City was smooth and relaxing. Richie went into work mode immediately after boarding the plane, taking numerous amounts of calls and writing things down. I guess this vacation really piled up a lot of work for him. Speaking of work, I have to get back to planning my next move on Richie. The past few days might have taken the best out of me but not anymore. I need to focus just as much as Richie needs to focus on his work and his revenge on the Russians. Richie will be too busy trying to make their life hell while I will be too busy making his life hell. It will be a win-win for both of us just that my win doesn’t have a regret. Richie continues to go through his paperwork and talk to random people in the Italian language until we arrive at the city. The moment we stepped off the plane the humidity hit me. It’s 3:00 o’clock in the morning and the weather is this hot. I’ve been living here for many years but it’s now I know why New York is known for their weather.
