Kiara:“Alberto” I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck. He hugged me tightly, Mihronisa waiting for us to greet one another before she hugged me. Timur waited for me to finish hugging Mihronisa before he wrapped his arms around me from the back and kissing my cheek to annoy Nikolay. Thankfully, he was now used to it.“How are you Timur?” I smiled turning around in his arms and hugging him, he lifted me off the ground and twirled me around twice before putting me down. Nikita was used to the way her husband acted around me. She knew that his heart belonged to her, however he did what he did to annoy Nikolay as he knew that my love was easily jealous.“I am fine, how is the little princess?” Timur asked looking at Nikolay making me bite my bottom lip to prevent myself from laughing. Timur smirked and kept his eyes on my husband as he waited for him to react, which he did by wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me clo

Kiara:“Kiara, please, this isn’t good for you or your baby” Maddie begged hugging me as I cried. Mia had hurt me badly. I couldn’t even let Nikolay stand up to her. The woman was his mother and I was put in a tough situation. But the woman actually slapped me in front of everyone, the men, Nikolay, her husband. How the hell was I going to be able to get out of this shame? Not to mention her words that have cut through me like a knife.I couldn’t stop the tears that fell from my eyes. Maddie tightened her arms around me. Holding me to her, kissing the crown of my head, whispering soothing words to me to calm down. She was truly a sister, one which I didn’t have. My chest ached as I thought of everything that has happened in the past three days, I found out that I had an older brother, my encounter with Richard, the fight with Nikolay, then Claudia and the games, and now Mia. Everything seemed to be against me all of a sudden and the

Kiara:“Nikolay, you don’t have to do this” I said taking a step back not wanting to go down the stairs. I knew that Nikolay was furious with everyone. Yes, I was hurt, a lot. But him going against his mother for me was not something that I could accept.Nikolay didn’t stop, he brought my hand closer to his lips and softly kissed my knuckles before pulling me to walk down with him. I didn’t want to face Mia, I couldn’t blame her for what happened, though I actually knew that me losing the baby was partly due to her fault. She had reminded me of a past that I tried so hard to forget, and what killed me was that she dared lay a hand on me when I knew that she never did it to her own kids.“Kiara?” Vladimir said standing up from the couch when he saw me. The man saw me as a sister to him. I was sure that me losing the baby affected him as much as it affected Nikolay, and Maddie being by my side through it made it a lo

Kiara:“Nikolay!” I whined at my teasing husband who has been driving for the past hour refusing to tell me where we were going. He kept smiling at me whenever I asked, giving me the same answer over and over again, or kissing my cheek, hands, or just taking my hand in his and simply squeezing it.“Yes, baby girl?” Nikolay asked already knowing what I was going to ask. Yet, he was determined to tease me. He was not opening his mouth to tell me anything. Taking my hand in his, again, and kissing my knuckle making me smile and shake my head.“Why won’t you tell me where we are going Nikolay?” I asked. I was still tired after everything that happened, and it wasn’t me being physically tired. No, that wasn’t the issue, my body was far stronger than that. I was trained to be able to take pain, the physical pain I went through as I grew up was more than a girl should take, but it toughened my body. I was just emoti

Kiara: I sat down beside my husband. His arm wrapped around my waist as Timur, Nikita, Vladimir, Uncle Dimitri, Mia, Uncle Ivan, Keram, Daphne, and Grace sat with us on the couches as we talked. “Are you okay baby girl?” Nikolay asked me softly. I had been quiet since after the encounter with Mia, even she knew that I wasn’t talking anymore. I was here for a reason, I wasn’t here to fight and if her and I spoke. It would end up with us getting into an argument. I smiled at Nikolay and kissed his jawline, but even he knew that I did that to tell him to drop the subject. Mum and dad were here, we had greeted them and thankfully neither of them saw the bullet wound which was starting to hurt me as the painkiller’s effect was starting to wear off. I got up from Nikolay’s arms and he frowned in confusion, but putting a hand on my shoulder letting him know that I needed to go to try and kill the pain before it got unbearable. Nikolay nodded and smiled at me
