Chapter 110 Buried past
Adrianne's POV
Everything changed since their death.
Nothing was the same anymore.
It was more chaotic and at the same time, too calm.
Contrast things but yeah.
The Ivano's were almost unheard.
The Bianchi were stirring up trouble for Stefan as he was conferred leader by the oath taken between him and Alessandro.
Igor was also a signatory to it so it proved its authenticity.
"Rest well, mother fucker." Nikolai patted the urn that belonged to Alessandro.
"You think Igor made it to hell?" I asked him, looking at shelf for Igor's Urn.
"Rejected by heaven and hell? Serves him right, man." Nikolai smirked.
"We would miss our flight, baby." Nikolai pulled me by my waist.
We had gotten good.
Nikolai and I liked each other from teenage age but he was too scared to show me off.
He feared that Alessandro would get mad
In that process, he hurt me a lot and did things just to paint to everyone that he didn't like me.
Then came back quietly to steal kisses and fucks.
Until I got tired of being the hidden one and cut him off.
Then he left for a long while and that was the end.
I thought?
"Time for that break, huh?" I chuckled, letting him lead us out.
"Yes mama!" He smacked my ass.
"Have respect for the dead!" I scolded, laughing lightly.
"They'd understand."
\-•-
"Hey baby. Wake up." Nikolai tapped my nose.
"Are we in Orlando already?" I opened my eyes softly, taking in my environment.
I was inside a car?
How?
"You slept for too long. I told you to drop that corporate ass job. I'll take care of you." Nikolai frowned slightly, holding my hand.
"I hate being idle. You know." I turned to him, pouting.
"Why's my cock always hard for you then? You can ride me whenever and however you want, baby."
I slapped his chest playfully, laughing. "You're such a pervert."
"Only for you." He brushed my shoulders lightly.
Firstly, we made a stop at a mall to get things we needed. After that, we checked into our private suite for the vacation.
"Somebody said a female reproductive organ has a special liquid." Nikolai smirked at me from the door, locking it.
He tossed the bags on the chair.
I took a step backward, eyeing him.
"What do you mean?"
"I swear, it's not me. It's even adviced that the only way to check that liquid is only if you use a cock. A long, thick one at that." He really tried to sound convincing
And maybe it was working
But it was also very funny.
"Respect yourself, Niko!" I warned, running around the living room, away from him.
"Come on!!! It wouldn't even take time." He begged.
This man was obsessed with me.
Like really.
I liked it so much.
"I'll be tired from going out and you know that outing means a lot to me." I told him seriously.
He stopped chasing after me. "Okay fine. After the outing then."
"Mmmm."
"Promise me now." He pointed at me, eyeing me playfully
"Okay fine. I promise!" I chuckled, grinning widely.
"Okay babe. I'll wait here. Go do your skincare thingy. The earlier you do that, the earlier we meet up."
"Hey! I don't take hours."
"Yeah right. You only take days." He laughed, dodging the cushion I threw at him.
After that, I bolted into the bathroom to do what he had just said.
I made sure to time myself.
It took 45 minutes though
But not an hour.
That man.
After spending an hour getting ready, we were ready for the evening.
Nikolai promised it was going to be worth it.
I believed him.
He placed his hand on my thigh as he drove us down to God knows where.
How did he even know this place?
Oh, my bad.
He traveled a lot.
"Hands?" He held on hand out for me, holding my door open.
I smiled, placing my hand on his.
He squeezed lightly, helping me out. We picked the bags and strolled up to the door.
After a knock and another, a butler opened the door.
"Nikolai and Adrianne." Nikolai mentioned to him.
He nodded, letting us in.
It was strictly invitation.
Soft music filled our ears once we entered. There were loud cheers from the extreme end.
The place was not so small, not so big too and also homely.
My smile widened as I took in my surrounding.
"Didn't know I would be seeing this some day." Nikolai said beside me.
"I knew from the moment a 3rd party came." I bragged, walking further into the building.
Sweet smell of pastry and lots of yummy food filled my nostrils.
I remembered that I hadn't eaten.
"I'll be back." Nikolai pecked my cheek, walking into a direction.
I contemplated following him but decided against it. Instead, I followed the sound.
"Fave!"
Recognizing the voice, I smiled. I opened my hand to accommodate my look alike.
"My baby!"
Alexia giggled in my hand as I peppered her face with lots of kisses.
Slowly, I dropped her down
She twirled around.
"Mhm-hmm! Your dress is beautiful, baby girl." I smiled, trailing my hand down her hair.
She pulled my hand, dragging her into the room. My eyes first connected with the familiar faces.
"Hey Adrianne!"
I waved back at the elderly woman who had a big grin on her face.
"Mama!" Alexia yelled, running round in search of her mama.
"Lex! Don't run okay? You don't want to sustain an injury!"
My heart swelled with joy as I heard the voice I had been longing to hear.
"Fave is here. Fave is here." Alexia sang, jumping up.
"Adrianne?" I heard the joy in her voice. Then she ran out of the kitchen, smiling widely at me.
My eyes took all of her in.
She was so beautiful.
Just like I had remembered.
"You made it!" She threw herself in my arms. "I can't believe you came. Oh we have a lot of catching up to do. How long would you be here?"
"I know you missed me a lot, M." My eyes teared up.
Last year was a lot.
From tribulations to complications and all that.
Like when she had her first child.
It was not funny.
"Oh come on. I'm fine." She patted my back. "Seriously."
She was a strong woman indeed.
"I knowww. Where's that stupid brother of mine?" I chuckled lightly, turning in time to see Alessandro coming through with a big cake.
"Yay!!" Alexia cheered, running to her grandmother, Maria.
"Hey princess." Alessandro said to his daughter, winking. Then he looked up at Madison, smiling softly at her.
She gave him a thumbs up, still standing beside me.
"Are you happy?" I asked her.
"Satisfied, more like." She said, resting her head on my shoulder.
That was all that mattered.
But for how long though?
