Kiara:“Mummy!” Lia smiled running toward me. I smiled and leaned down to hug my daughter who jumped in my arms with both happiness and excitement, I kissed her cheeks before pulling away for her to greet her father. Maddie who had Daniel in her arms walked toward me and I hugged her though I was careful not to hurt my son who instantly perked up upon seeing me letting out little giggles which made me smile. His hand went to my hair strand and I smiled as he pulled it making me laugh.I smiled when Nikolay who was carrying Lia in his arms leaned in to Daniel and kissed his forehead earning a giggle from our baby which made both me and Nikolay smile. My husband kissed my temple and the two of us stared at our kids with loving eyes before we heard slow clapping which broke the moment. Maddie tensed and Vladimir who was standing with his son, Xavier, in his arms glared at the woman who simply raised an eyebrow at us.“You know, a decent woman woul

Kiara: “His fucking nerve” Nikolay snapped once Ian and mum were out of the house. I myself couldn’t understand where he got the courage to say what he did or to behave the way he did. Mother beloved was proud of having a husband to stand up to us, knowing that father was never able to match to Nikolay. Ian was like some dream come true to her after everything she believes she’s been through with us. Though she knew that she would have been through worse had her parents gotten their hands on her, and knowing that this was last resolve, I knew that it was the only thing that we could do. The woman HAD to go home to her mum and father. “Calm down, Nik. The kids are inside and they’re already frightened after what they saw” I said looking at my husband who sighed but nodded. I knew that Ian said what he did to annoy us, thinking that he would make us fear him in thinking that he was something. But as far as I knew, the man had no loyal men under him, should he try to ac

Kiara:“Do you want to tell me what happened with Richard that had you make a choice like having us kill your mom?” Nikolay asked softly. I was laying on his chest, both our bodies naked as he ran his fingers through my hair. The two of us had just calmed down from our climaxes, I thought that it would distract me, but it didn’t. My mind was still going wild.“Nik…”“It  would help with getting it off your chest princess” Nikolay whispered stopping me and I nodded knowing that he was right. I just couldn’t find the proper words to describe what I saw, or more specifically, I didn’t want to think of the right words to admit that we should have followed the mafia rules.Flashback:“We’re following that car” I said looking at Richard who frowned in confusion. Him and I had gone to a café, though I was surprised when I saw mum and Ian speaking to a m

Kiara:“So, you two plan on just leaving them be until when?” Richard asked Nikolay wide eyed. The man was going mental as he heard what we were telling him, clearly not agreeing with anything we planned but even I knew that deep down, he knew that we were right.“We don’t plan on leaving them be, Richard. But I can’t risk Kiara entering the games. You of all people should know that all the candidates lost their lives in the first games or went crazy in the newer versions. They are turning people into easily triggered weapons” Nikolay said looking Richard in the eye. It was the next morning when Nikolay and I managed to get out of bed, and it was because Lia walked inside the room wanting to get in and wake us up.The two of us just told everyone of what Richard and I saw, and let me say that Richard wasn’t very happy when he learned that we wouldn’t be putting mum and Ian in place the second we laid eyes on them,

Kiara:“A penny for your thoughts?” Richard asked walking out to the garden. Everyone was inside with the children, watching a movie, or tending to their errands and responsibilities. I needed my space to think, and the garden was the best place to do that right now. With the kids taking their nap, I knew that it was only a matter of time before I had to go back inside to them.“When have you become an American?” I sassed turning to face Richard who smiled walking toward me. I was sitting down on the swing out in the garden, my thoughts going wild as I thought of every negative thing that a person could think of. Suddenly, the idea of just dying and getting things over with would have been a lot more simple. But thinking of my kids and Nikolay, and how retarded I was being stopped me from mentioning it to Richard. The man would have gone mad on me, he already hated me being in danger, let alone throwing myself to die in the face of danger &ldquo
