Depraved

35. Alana

She looks at me from her position on the couch and says I'll water them while I'm leaving. "No it's alright,I'll just water them quickly and come back" I say as I stand up and I'm about to leave but hault at the door not wanting to see him. But my plants can't be the sacrifice for my anger. So I open the door when I'm about to sprint downstairs i spot rafael marching upstairs probably to Alexei's office. Rafael is one of Alexei's best men. His men are so loyal to him. They might even take bullets for him, or already did. Although most of them aren't that bad if you get to know them up close. I have gotten to know most of the guards as they always parade the house. One of the guys that I would positively consider a friend an ally will be rafael. He always waves back when i wave at him and he is comparatively young than most of the guys here.

I wave at him to come to me. He stops at the stairs and thinks for a minute before marching towards me. "Hey raf, can you do me a favor?" I ask politely. "what ? Somebody is bothering you? Do you need help offing them?" He asks without any humor. I shake my head and say "so you would kill anyone that bothers me ?" I counter playfully. He nods and adds "anybody unless of course boss" "that's disappointing" I add and he gets surprised so I quickly add "no need to kill anybody just save."
He gives me a questioning look. I say "can you water the plants for me in the back yard?  I forgot to tend to them today". "Sure Mrs.. Korolyov" he says. "Just call me alana and thank you, i owe you one" I say as he makes a salute and goes towards alexei's office.

I step inside the room again and ask "do you want to stay the night?" She turns her face and says "no, I have classes tomorrow" to which I nod. She clutches her stomach and says "I think I'm going to be sick " I playfully pat her shoulder and say "it's worth it" to which she grins and nods. Coco is lying between us.

We sit there in comfortable silence before she asks "so what are you going to do ?" To which I stare at her pause for a moment, shrug and turn towards the balcony over looking the ocean "there is nothing to be done, honestly it doesn't matter, my opinion is just like the ocean water to him, of no use" I say. I pause for a moment and add "I think I know who she is" her eyes widen and she asks
"you met her ?".
"Not meet, exactly but yeah I saw them together on my wedding day in a rather compromising position." Now that I think about it I know I saw her, blonde hair, the way he held it in his hands makes me want to chop her hair and throw it into the ocean. "I think that's his girlfriend" I add. She shakes her head and says "Stella isn't his girlfriend, she's the daughter of one of pakhan's friend.  That's how everybody knows her and she could be persuasive you know.  But I heard from my dad that she wanted to marry alexei and even her father put forth a proposal transferring thirty percent of all his business to pakhan if alexei marries his daughter. Alexei refused though" she shrugs. I shake my head "I don't know why he refused but we are talking about alexei here nobody can be persuasive to him and you know that. Not to mention i caught them twice together. Anyway I don't want to talk about it." And add "its not like I love him or we are in a Happy marriage" I whisper. 

She nods and gets up from the couch stretching her arms and legs and says,
"okay then, let me go and find my dad, he'll drop me home. Text me if anything bothers you alright" she says and swings her bag on her shoulder before giving coco a kiss and moving towards the door. She opens the door halfway and turns back to me and says "you know Alexei isn't that bad, he isn't what he looks like" i roll my eyes. "he still has a heart inside him although he likes to pretend otherwise" yeah a heart of stone that was painted black by the Satan himself. "He helped me and dad a lot, and in a way he's like a brother to me" she smiles looking at the floor. And leaves the room. I leave a long breath and drop my head back on the couch and close my eyes.

Alexei

I'm sitting in my office twirling the glass of vodka in my hand and thinking about the mess I'm in. I never intended alana to find me with stella, especially not with my hands on her chin. I would have pushed anybody else into the ocean as shark bait for the advances she did on me. Stella being antonio's daughter makes it complex for me to stick to my previous idea. Shes a spoiled princess, who can't understand rejection, I have fucked stella in the past when I wanted to loosen some stress I told her clearly that it was nothing special. She foolishly thought I would be addicted to her pussy and marry her, how absurd.

The only one who I want is my wife, the one who has my whole interest and attention is she alone. So i threatened antonio to keep his daughter on a leash and that if I see her anywhere near me both of them are going under the tires along with all their business. So that would do. The problem isn't stella now. It's my beautiful wife. I smile at the image of alana opening the door with her raven hair falling to both sides of her shoulder till her hips contrasting to the white robe that she draped. The red heels caught my attention though, I was wondering why she was wearing heels inside the house until sofia decided to show me the bomb. The memory of those pictures burns  my body, as I retrieve my mobile and see the pictures that I sent myself from Sofia's phone by snatching it when she came to lecture me on how I hurt her friend and that i should be loyal. The attempt was at best laughable. And I proceeded to delete them in hers.How dare she have pictures of my wife in lingerie on her mobile. I don't care how close of friends they have become. But these pictures are only for me. I can't believe she wore this and was coming to me. I smile at the thought. But this cruel fate, I couldn't see her in them, it's a shame. Well at least I have some pictures. Something is better than nothing isn't it
