"That was the hardest exam. What the fuck was that!?" Kesian said while drinking water.
"Yeah. That is the most stupidest question I have ever seen," Lilith said.
They all groaned while lying on the grass, looking up at the sky.
"The exam is done! It's the last one!!!" Nino said while walking toward them.
"Finally we are done with this shitty ass school," Aram said.
Valen leaned over and kissed Gloria.
She smiled.
Valen had bought a hidden private mansion. He had already told his mother about Gloria, and now he was going to test her.
"Look… is this okay on me for the wedding?" Gloria whispered.
He looked at the dress.
"A cute bow will fit your hair with it, baby," he said.
She nodded happily.
"Lilith… what about your hair, nails, everything for the bride!?" Ramona asked.
"I just came to know about the secret preparations," Lily said.
Everyone laughed.
"Soooooo!?" Kesian said excitedly.
"Let's have a sleepover!!" Yamini said.
"Girls only!" Gloria said.
The boys rolled their eyes.
"Where are we having it?" Lilith asked.
"Each other's houses!" Nino answered.
"Yeah!" they all agreed.
Soon they all left.
Alara arrived home.
The moment she stepped inside, she heard shouting.
Her mother was furious.
"KILL HIM THEN!!"
Alara's mother's name was Mrs. Karin.
"What's wrong?" Alara asked.
"Someone is messing with the shipment for Nikolai Devereaux's company," her sister Manuela replied.
Alara calmly opened her laptop and connected it to the television.
Mr. Oleg watched quietly.
"Uhm… Mom… here's a camera from the warehouse," Alara said.
The footage appeared.
Everyone watched several goons stealing goods from the boat.
"Ugh!" Mrs. Karin growled.
"I can kill them from here," Alara said.
"Kill them!" Mrs. Karin ordered.
Alara rapidly typed across her keyboard.
"Activated. Initiating sequence. Launch."
The AI system announced.
The men suddenly looked around in confusion.
She clicked a button.
Within seconds they were attacked.
"Woah…" Mr. Oleg said, standing up.
Alara bit her lip while Mrs. Karin watched proudly.
"Who sent you?" Alara asked.
The surviving goon looked around in fear.
"Speak… or I shoot."
"W… W… We were sent by the rival group to change the goods!"
"Goodnight."
She pressed another command.
The man was killed instantly.
"All done," Alara said.
"Wow," Manuela whispered.
"Uhmm… can I have a sleepover here?" Alara asked.
"Sleepover?" Mrs. Karin questioned.
"Yeah. Mrs. Lilith and our friends. We are having a sleepover at each other's houses before we leave for India."
"Of course, dear. Why ask? No one will bother you," Mr. Oleg said.
"Goodnight," Alara smiled.
"Oh… so now you all care about her. Dumbass," Manuela muttered.
They quietly looked away.
Yamini arrived home.
"Sir, I am having a sleepover here, so please tell your wife and her children not to bother me and my friends. It's Mrs. Lily's bridal sleepover."
"Of course, love," Mr. Jaswant replied.
She sat beside him as he showed her several traveling boxes.
"This light peach is nice," she commented.
"If Mrs. Lilith comes here, then I can be her friend," Chitra said.
"You can't. She doesn't like brats," Yamini replied.
She heard them from a distance and grinned.
"If you both misbehave and try any rubbish… I will torture you in ways you will never imagine," Geeta warned while relaxing on her swing.
Yamini simply continued typing on her laptop.
Meanwhile…
Cassia walked inside her house.
She saw her mother sitting with several friends.
As Cassia walked upstairs…
She froze.
Her room had been destroyed.
The bridal box was smashed apart.
She immediately ran downstairs.
"Ma!"
"Yes, dear?" Mrs. Reet answered.
"The bridal box I was given… did you take everything? The money… the clothes… everything?"
Mrs. Reet dropped her teacup.
"No… I didn't."
Cassia's eyes filled with tears.
She burst into tears.
Mr. Lawn, her stepfather, walked inside.
"What's wrong?"
"M… My box is destroyed… the one for Mrs. Lilith's wedding."
Mrs. Reet immediately hugged her.
"Call everybody here. NOW!" Mr. Lawn ordered.
Cassia continued crying.
Three minutes later…
Everyone had gathered.
Cassia remained seated.
"Hello, Mrs. Lilith," Mrs. Reet said over the phone as she explained everything.
"Oh God… don't worry. I'll send a new box for her this evening," Lily replied.
"Thank you very much."
Mrs. Reet had four children.
Three boys:
Mait.
Õnne.
Eerik.
Mr. Lawn also had a daughter, Kostya, and a son, Daniil.
Everyone was present except Kostya.
Mr. Lawn looked around carefully.
"Who entered Cassia's room and destroyed the bridal box?"
"Dad… we were at the field," Daniil answered.
"And I was at the project site, Papa," Õnne added.
"Where is Kostya?" Mrs. Reet asked.
"She's not home, Madam."
"She was here with her friends. I heard noises upstairs," one of the guards reported.
"Alia!" Mr. Lawn shouted.
The head maid hurried inside.
"Yes, Sir?"
"Were Kostya and her friends in Ms. Cassia's room earlier?"
"Yes, Sir. She was angry. I heard them smashing things."
Cassia counted the missing money.
"This is ₽2 million… she took my money."
She immediately picked up her phone.
"I need her back. Now."
Everyone looked at one another.
Mrs. Reet started crying.
"Calm down, honey," Mr. Lawn said.
Cassia had already left.
"LET ME GO, BITCH!!"
Kostya screamed.
Cassia dragged her violently by the hair.
Her guards restrained Kostya's friends.
Cassia kicked Kostya directly across the face.
"You… Stupid… Piece of SHIT!!"
Mrs. Reet stepped forward.
"Cassia, calm down!"
"No, Mom. Stay. She deserves it," Daniil said while holding Mrs. Reet back.
"Excuse me, Ms. Cassia. Mrs. Lilith sent a replacement box for you," a guard announced.
"Put it here," Mr. Lawn instructed.
Kostya's face was covered in blood.
Cassia turned toward the friends.
She pulled out her gun.
"What the hell…" Mr. Lawn whispered.
Cassia kicked Kostya hard in the stomach.
"Bitch!"
She then grabbed heavy iron chains.
She repeatedly struck them.
Wrapped the chains around them.
Choking them with fury.
"What's happening to Cassia, Papa…?" Eerik asked fearfully.
"She is crazy," Mait replied quietly.
Cassia carried the replacement bag upstairs.
She entered her room.
Locked the door.
Meanwhile…
Nikolai was inside the gym working out.
"My Russian Donkey?" Lily called, peeking inside.
"Yes, my India Queen?" Nikolai replied.
She stopped.
Completely speechless.
Before her stood a towering bodybuilder with overwhelming power and flawless masculine dominance.
Every muscle had been sculpted through relentless discipline and brutal training.
Broad, mountain-like shoulders.
A massive barrel chest.
Thick, powerful arms wrapped with bulging veins.
Colossal biceps straining with every movement.
A sharply defined V-shaped torso flowing into deeply carved eight-pack abs as hard as granite.
Powerful obliques.
A narrow, iron-forged waist.
His back was impossibly wide and heavily muscled with towering traps, thick lats and ridges of dense muscle stretching across it.
A long, jagged scar cut diagonally across his back, a permanent reminder of a violent past, adding an even more dangerous and intimidating presence.
Thick muscular thighs.
Powerful calves.
Perfect balance.
His body radiated raw strength, endurance and lethal combat ability, making every movement controlled, powerful and effortlessly dominant.
Lilith swallowed hard.
Her cheeks and ears turned bright red.
Nikolai smirked.
He bent down to her height.
Raised an eyebrow.
She pouted.
He smiled.
"I have a sleepover with the girls next week… so you'll be sleeping alone all by yourself," she said.
"What!?" Nikolai exclaimed.
"Yeah. Each girl's house."
His face twisted in disbelief.
"No… nah huh."
He shook his head like a child.
"Please… I promise I'll call every night, baby," she said.
He still looked sad.
He quietly whined.
She leaned forward and kissed him.
"I love you."
"I love you too," he mumbled, hugging her tightly.
