Irina:I sat on the couch, reading through a book as I laid my head on the armrest. It was the only thing that I could do considering the fact that I didn’t know how I was going to work tomorrow. The stories that were in the past intrigued me, and it was one of the reasons why I found myself more and more attracted to what had happened. I wanted to know the way that they lived, what they did, and how they went on with their lives.Luna Katerina entered the living room, and though I was intrigued to get up, I chose not to. The woman had the right to roam around her own home, and I wasn’t going to stop her because she chose to do so. She put a tray in front of me, and I frowned in confusion as she took a step back. Her eyes met mine and I shook my head in question.“You decided to poison me already?” I asked, and she took a seat on the couch in front of mine.“I wouldn’t be killing you through poison. I am not that low, and I am not that type of women,” she said, and I nodded. “But yo

Irina:“Are you okay?” Luna Katerina asked, noticing that I was quiet.I smiled and nodded, knowing to keep her words in mind. I had to admit, despite them being painful, they were what kept me standing right now. The idea of her being right was one thing that I knew to respect. She was older than I was, more experienced, and I knew, even if it was deep down, that she had suffered a lot more than she was letting out. It was most likely why she was as careful as she was.“I’m fine, just a little lost in thought,” I said, and she nodded. “Where did Kai go?”“He most likely went to work. My son has his own things to finish. Sometimes you find him neglecting them, others you find him running after them. It just depends on the mood that he’s in.” she said, and I nodded. It was true, I did notice that he rarely ever went out to work. He mostly had his work inside his office at home. Unless, it was heading off to one of his clubs. “Do you think that he liked what we set up? He didn’t commen

Irina: I smiled when I woke up to Kai running his finger over my back, gently massaging it. His eyes met mine as I looked up at him, and he gently kissed my temple, letting his lips linger there for a moment before pulling away to look me in the eye. “Good morning,” he whispered, his voice deep and raspy, filled with sleep. “Morning,” I said, closing my eyes as I snuggled closer to him, curling up. He chuckled and tightened his arm around me, holding me to him, allowing me to grow more comfortable. His bicep was bigger than half my body, that was something that I couldn’t help but note out, but I knew that despite him being bigger and mostly stronger than I was, the man was being gentle with me. Rogue or not, the fact that he wasn’t forcing himself on me told me a lot about who he was and his character. The worry that I had about my mother was the one thing that made my smile fade, but I knew that he would find her for me. I just didn’t know what state she was in now. How much Co

Katerina: “Do not test your luck too far with Cosimo, Kai.” I said, looking at my son whose eyes hardened. I knew that he was furious with his father, but the last thing that I wanted was for him to end up getting in trouble with the man, especially when I knew the type of man his father was. “He is not going to allow this to just drop, and I do not want you to get hurt.” “He is the one starting this war, mama. I am responding to it, and he knows that he is going to pay for what he is doing in ways that he is not going to…” “She is right, Kai. You are angry, but Cosimo is dirty, and he is going to do what he wants to get his way, and trust me, what he wants right now is not going to be in your benefit.” Diego said, looking at my son, stopping him from what he was going to tell him. I knew that being his older brother, despite his mother, he was going to be sure to keep him safe. At least, I knew that he wasn’t alone when it came to that part. “Not when you have her around.” Kai loo

Irina: I walked with Luna Katerina, not wanting to leave her alone in case she decided to go to Diego’s mom. I didn’t understand the feud that was between them, but I could tell that it was one that has been going on for so long, and that it was not going to be solved overnight. However, I knew better than to interfere or ask questions. Kai was going to be upset if I did anyway, and the idea of angering him on a night like this one, over a past that I knew he wouldn’t want to speak of wasn’t something that I wanted. Him being upset was not something that I wanted. “You can go and sit with Kai, Irina. I know that you are worried that I might end up getting…” “I don’t want you to be alone when upset. While you might tell me that you aren’t. I can tell that you are,” I said, and she looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes. Her heartbeat was calm, and taking sight of Cosimo, I could swear that I saw annoyance in his eyes, annoyance of a man who could be in love. However, he knew tha
