That's what you said to Mr. Volkov..."Mila looked at her in disbelief."Wow! You are so cool but I also feel bad for him. He really regrets whatever happened..."She sulked."But you are the first woman who has guts to tell the Mafia king to come and warm your bed."She laughed. "What if he really comes?""Then enjoy it, not like I haven't had sex with him.."Vera shrugged. Mila sighed and gently grabbed her hand."Vera, what's happening to you?... Are you okay?""No, I am not okay"Vera said frustrated."I want to hurt him... I want to hurt every man who has hurt and humiliate me." She sighed."I am tired of forgiving people, and hate that they take me for granted... They think they can manipulate me, trick me to stay with them. Ryaan is also with him, can you believe this?...""Vera, hun... Come here!"Mila gave her a ti

Author's POV"Veronica?"Sayesha called but Vera was lost in her world. She was thinking about something else, completely forgetting that her hot coffee is slowly getting cold. Sayesha sighed scrunching her nose and knowing that Vera wasn't listening to her."Vera!"She scolded and Vera flinched. "What's wrong with you, woman!?""I am so sorry..."Vera shook her head and took a sip of her coffee. "I was just zoned out.""What happened?"Sayesha frowned, sensing tension in her behaviour. "You know you can share with me, right?"Vera smiled at Sayesha, They are best friends since medical studies and she was always her well wisher. Unlike Vera, Sayesha is fierce and lady boss of her own life and Vera admires that about her. "Have your husband has ever threatened you to kill a man who looks at you?"Vera asked. Sayesha smirked."Ohh, Daddy material!... I want to meet your husband, interesting character.""He wasn't bluffing, he was serious and you know he can do that..."Vera repli

Veronica's POVHe looks like a star when soft moonlight touches his face. He tilted his head up and took a sip of his wine. Is this man real? Because he really looks like a fallen angel, despite the fact that he is the devil inside.He knows that I am looking at him and I don't care. "I never thought I would get married."He is still looking at the sky while twirling his wine in the glass."Never liked the thought of sharing my life with someone. Letting them invade my privacy but I knew that it's bound to happen because I need to give the heir to my Empire... I always thought that there will be some girl who will marry me for my reputation and power and I'll marry her just for an obligation..."I listened to him."The thought was scary because I am not the man who value people. There are only few people about whom I care and that's it."I took a sip of my wine and let him talk. I know he is not expressive and it's really good to see him speaking his heart. He is not making eye cont

Author's POV "I can't let you go to Italy... You know the reason, Grace..."Vlad sat beside her. "But I want to explore... It's been a year. I need to collect pieces of my life..."She said."Italy was never a part of your life... And it never will be."He replied."I know you want to protect me... But how long?... You can't always protect me and keep me in this house... Vlad, I don't know how to survive out there without you or my bodyguard... What is my identity?... I don't feel like an Individual..."Grace pleaded. "Not Italy, Grace!"He shook his head."They don't even know me... No one knows that I am your sister.."She argued. "They know that I have a sister and wife and I care about them... No arguments, Grace. You are not going there..."He scolded."And they will know the moment you step on their land...

Author's POV"Stop it, Vera... "Vlad closed his eyes to hide his frustration. "What are you asking for impossible things... ""She needs to know, Vlad..."Vera replied desperately. "You are keeping her in the dark... I am her doctor, I have seen her mumbling his name in sleep. She loves him.""And I am her brother, I know what I am doing... "He glared at her. "I don't expect this from you... ""You are turning a blind eye. You are doing this because you hate them but think about it, Vlad... What if she remembers everything and wants to go back... They were the biggest part of her life... We are being unfair to Grace."Vera gasped when he jerked her forward by arms."He abused her... You are still not forgiving me for emotional damage I did to you. He abused her emotionally and physically. Tell me, would you have forgiven him if you were in her place... ""We don't know their story... You can't judge them on the basis of few things you have heard... I didn't find any mark of phys
