Revenge Love

III

ANASTASIA

As I opened the door to open the black SUV, I found my brother sitting there awaiting me with a sorrowful smile hanging on his face.

"What do you want Luka?" I said pissed at the fact he had nerve to sit here and smile as if he didn't know of my fathers plan.

"I understand your anger and I know I deserve it, but please just let me talk to you Stasia" He said in a nurturing voice, he almost even sounded innocent..

"Im only getting on this car because my plane has to leave in the next hour for my en-eng" I stopped myself from even saying the words, engagement party, almost as if I said it out loud it would become real and it wouldn't just be a crazy nightmare.

"I know you are suffering Anastasia, I look at you and feel my heart ache after all you are my only sister..." He stated his voice almost broken "Anastasia I will only say this once and it will be your only chance, from now on it will only be tougher. Run away I will help you but you have to do it now" He desperately pleaded to me, at first I thought about it but then I looked at him and shook my head.

"Luka I've ran away before, you know that I can't run from my blood I will always be an Ivanov even if I hide inside a cave faith will find me and bite my ass" I hopelessly told him with a monotone voice " I tried running from this, I really tried but I never could. I found people that loved me, friends and a man that gave me the purest love but I could never be true to them. You don't understand how it feels too not even be able to say my real name to them. I could've done it but now I have to think of the people that would die if a war started all because of me" I sobbed lightly as he pulled me into a tight embrace "This is my destiny Luka" I whimpered to his chest.

"Don't cry I can't look at you like this" He pleaded but I couldn't help it.

The only hope I had of ever living a normal life was now gone and all I had left was a hole in my chest and the only thing that would fill it was revenge.

"Goodbye Luka, I love you brother" I said again as I pulled out of his embrace and opened the door to board the jet that would take me to my new life.

For half of the flight I sobbed and cried every drop of water I had in my body, but one thing I had promised myself was that I was getting my revenge no matter what happened; my father, my husband and whoever stood in my way would pay for using and manipulating me.

The next half of my flight I spent choosing my best dress with the perfect heel to go with it, I did my hair and makeup. When I looked in the mirror I almost forgot I still had a piece of me missing, I looked so put so put together, it was truly amazing.

I always knew I was beautiful. Ever since I was a kid my mother reminded me, but it was only until I stepped into the real world I understood the power of my own beauty... and how lethal it could be.

As my white heel stepped foot at the marble floor of the DeLuccios state was when I took off my sunglasses and shot a piercing white smile to the old lady that greeted me at the entrance. She called herself 'Zia Marrieta' and she explained how she was the Chief of maids and she could help me with whatever I needed.

"Ms. Ivanov, Capo DeLuccio is waiting for you in the upstairs terrace" She spoke through her thick Italian accent.

"Yes of course, do you mind guiding me? I'm still a bit disheveled with this huge home" I asked being completely honest the state was huge to say the least. She simply nodded and I followed behind her.

When Damian heard the door open he couldn't help but turn his head and catch his first glimpse at Anastasia, she was gorgeous, the type of beauty you didn't see very often. She wore a dress that rested at the middle of her thighs with heels that made her appear taller, she had piercing blue eyes with black hair that rested at the middle of her back.

She looked delicious he thought to himself.

Anastasia could feel Damiano piercing his gaze at her, she couldn't help but scoff in her mind at his unapologetic glance. He was handsome with brunette hair a stubbled jaw with a light muscular build, yet that didn't change the fact he had been involved in their families disgusting affairs. He was going to be the easiest target, or so Anastasia believed.

He was disgusting she thought to herself.

"Hello Anastasia, it's truly a pleasure to meet you" Damiano greeted as he stood up to shake Anastasia's small hand.

"The pleasure is mine, Damian" Anastasia returned the greeting trying to fight the urge to crush his hand.

"Please sit, after all this will all be yours soon" He said almost teasingly said to Anastasia "You know, I've heard a lot about you" he added.

"All good I suppose" Anastasia said in the same teasing manner.

"Of course, you know I've heard a lot about you but none of it is true" Damiano confessed.

'If only he knew' Anastasia said to herself.

"I've kept my life private for a long time" Anastasia responded in low tone, she was still hurting badly "I think it'll be better if I just go to my room for now" She added abruptly.

Damiano was a taken aback by her sudden need to leave "Of course have Marrieta will guide you" He said a bit disappointed he didn't get more time to play around with her.

DAMIANO

She was different to what I had expected her to be, she seemed to be able to actually have a conversation and she was gorgeous as well. I didn't even have a desire to be with her but now I might even fuck her.

"Siamo, como estai Damiano?" I heard my father speak through his thick accent. (Son, how are you Damiano)

"Ciao Papa, I've been well" I responded.

"Anastasia is a beautiful woman, that's more that you could've bargained for" He responded matter-of-factly, it was true Anastasia could've been an ugly woman and I couldn't have done anything about it. At least I could have fun in bed with her.

"I know, she isn't stupid either" Agreeing with him.

"Of course she isn't. She's an Ivanov, be careful they are masters at deceiving son"

"I think I can take care of her" I responded almost jokingly.

"Remember women are the death of any man" He warned me.

-

I was walking to my office when I walked pass Anastasia's room I could hear her shuffling around the room. Perhaps unpacking her stuff but then I heard a small sob; I was a bit taken aback.

I simply walked passed the door and continued walking to my door. She was a very intricate person, but I would figure her out...
