#UNEDITED
"Poellina!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jinx cried as the bullet rammed into Poe's chest.
One last smile covered Poe's face, and her arms fell in a slump at her sides, hot tears falling from her eyes as they closed.
Madden entered the room last, and immediately he saw what was going on, he stopped by the door with a stoic expression.
He perceived this, and he already opened his dark mind to receive the death of anyone, but now...
He looked at the crying guys again, and he quickly turned his back on the scene, walking out of the room.
No matter how much he tried to show no empathy as usual, he failed, cos he felt it. Deep down.
He texted Trixie after a while.
• Get Poe's body to the car.
Three minutes later, Loud came out of the room carrying Poe's body while the rest followed.
Madden led the way out of the building.
*
CLAN, KITCHEN*
"Selesta?" Zoya kept calling as she walked around the inner kitchen.
She has been looking for her for minutes, but seems she's nowhere inside this kitchen.
She left the kitchen through the backdoor and made a quick walk to Selesta's apartment.
"Selesta!" Her voice rang.
No answer.
"Selesta!!" She yelled again.
Same result.
"Is she going senile? Where did she go at this important period?" She muttered, fishing out her phone.
She was dialling Selesta's line as she walked back to the kitchen, but it didn't go through for once.
Surprisingly, when she got to the main kitchen, she couldn't find the kids too.
"This is so not funny" she muttered, dialling Selesta's line again.
This time, Selesta picked.
"Where the f+ck did you go and where are my damn kids!" Zoya spat.
"I took them out to shop against tomorrow's wedding, and we'd arrive late." Selesta replied and immediately hung up.
"That frumpy woman!" Zoya almost smashed her phone, but then she calmed down...
"Calm down, you're tomorrow's bride" she muttered, taking a deep breath before leaving the kitchen.
Stepping out of the building, three cars drove into the tight park.
She paused to see what's going on as Jinx came out with Malik and Trixie, tears on their faces.
Loud stepped out with the rest of the girls, and he's carrying Poe's body on his shoulder.
"They lost a mobster?" Zoya folded her arms, but she smiled widely when Madden came out of the car.
He's madly handsome, but with blood all-over him like this, his handsomeness is over the top.
She imagined him in a suit with that his expressionless face, and herself in her wedding dress, the two of them walking down the aisle tomorrow inside the cathedral.
She began blushing, but then it stopped when The Bratva men surrounded Madden.
* Get Adeline out here for us!
* We'll make sure you don't win the election tomorrow if you fail to provide her!
* You're a backstabber like your damn father!
* You don't even deserve to be in this compound at all!
* Your manor should be set on fire!
* You're a betrayer! You should be stoned!
* Provide Adeline!!!
Madden could have killed all of them on the spot, especially the one who talked about burning his manor, but he kept his cool because of Poe.
He's not the type to respect the dead, but Poe's loyalty deserves his last rites, so he ignored them totally.
"Get away from him!" Zoya appeared with her men.
She started pushing the men away from Madden who doesn't even care.
"Who do you think you are!" One of the men snarled.
"His wife-to-be! The mother of his kids!" Zoya shouted back.
By now, Madden went out of sight already.
She glared before sending her boys away.
She started heading towards Igor's mansion, but then she got a call from Sergei.
"Father" she picked with a bright smile.
"I can feel your excitement" Sergei replied.
"It's finally happening tomorrow. You know how long I waited for this" she beamed.
"I can't wait" Sergei said.
"Me too. I'll talk to you later, I need to get Ksenia to shop for my dress with me" she replied, hanging up.
*
IGOR'S SUITE*
"You can't keep crying in there all day!" Ksenia shouted frustratedly.
She's standing by Igor's bedroom door, holding a roll of tissue and trying to get him to open the door, but it's just not happening.
"If you cry too much, you'd get headache, and headache leads to chronic fever. Stop the darn tears already!! I ran out of petting ideas" she shouted again.
Igor didn't stop.
"He's hopeless" she muttered, eventually leaving the door.
She went to the living room where Sin is crying at too.
She dropped the tissue in front of him, and he took it, tearing a large volume to wipe his tears.
"What do I do with you two" she muttered.
"Igor won't open the door unless someone breaks it" Sin replied.
"What!" Ksenia gasped, and then Zoya barged into the suite.
"I need you to do my shopping with me. My wedding dress is not ready yet and this is already 5pm!" She said authoritatively.
"I have things to do too, and taking care of your silly wedding is definitely not one of them" Ksenia replied sternly.
"Did you just call my wedding silly?" Zoya flared.
"A wedding where the supposed husband is not in love with you, isn't that silly?" Ksenia mocked, and Zoya picked the TV remote from the center table, flinging it at her.
It hit Ksenia on the forehead...
"F+ck! Zoya!" She cursed, rubbing the head.
"What are you gonna do? Throw it back?" Zoya glared.
"Stop it" Sin stood, facing her.
"Or what?" Zoya scoffed.
"Just stop it! This is my brother's suite so leave!!" He yelled angrily.
"Yunno what? Don't worry about the shopping anymore, I'd go with my boys " Zoya said, snapping her fingers at Ksenia before leaving the suite.
"Mad lady" Ksenia made faces, and Sin smiled slightly at her sass.
"I need to go see Trixie. Can you stay here with my brother?" He asked.
"Sure" Ksenia shrugged, and Sin left the suite.
*
MAYA'S SUITE*
Maya hasn't left the window since Andrei brought her back from the house of Orlovs.
She's standing there, staring at the full compound with calm unblinking eyes.
Andrei hasn't left too.
He's behind her, his head just an inch above hers as he watched with her.
"I should have noticed from how my brother looks at her." She muttered.
Andrei pulled her arm and turned her around to face him.
"Are you unhappy about it?" He asked, lifting an hand to her hair to stroke gently.
"Why would I be unhappy that my heartless brother is obsessed with someone? I'm too happy that he's finally opening up" Maya chuckled, and Andrei smiled.
"Adeline has always been beautiful, even as a boy, she's kind too... So ion have a problem with it. The only problem right now is that The Bratva wants her head, and Madden is about to get disqualified" she said.
"Leave it to him, he'd take care of it. I trust him" Andrei said assuredly, bringing his hand down to her face, rubbing her temples.
"Something is bothering you, what is it?" She asked.
"Igor and Sin...
Maya turned away from him immediately, and he quickly draped his arms around her, hugging her from behind.
Maya stopped, her face blank and at the same time full of different unspoken emotions.
It's like she's battling with the two sides.
"Please... I promise you Igor is a good person. Just give him a chance to be your half-brother, and Sin. You already know Sin is not problematic, he's just a free soul and...
She turned back to face him this time, smiling amusingly.
"You're actually the caring type, aren't you? You care about the people around you, but you pretended to be numb" she said.
Andrei went silent.
"Deep down inside me, I wish all your care would be for just me" she whispered, and he blinked slowly.
"Yes..I am that selfish, too selfish. I am very selfish" she muttered with lethargic affection, lifting her hands to his collar.
She pulled him closer with it, bringing his head down to her level before pressing her lips tightly on his own.
Andrei's eyes widened for a minute, but he was quick to recover, then he grabbed her slim waist and held her face with the other hand, deepening the kiss.
Maya didn't allow the tongue, and he doesn't know why, but if it's just a pure kiss for now, he's ok with it.
He'd take it step by step with her, till she'd fully open up in the future.
*
BURIAL GROUND*
Sin was beyond bewildered when he arrived and saw Poe's burial is already over.
Jinx insisted that she should be buried after the blood on her body was cleaned up, and she was buried in her favorite clothes.
Their twin leather outfit.
Even after Poe was covered with the earth, Jinx didn't stop crying, so Malik had to kneel beside her and try his best to pacify.
"She's really...dead?" Sin said shockingly, and Loud smiled sadly.
"Yeah... RIP to her" he said, giving Sin a pat before leaving the ground.
Trixie turned around on her spot, and when she saw Sin, she immediately rushed to him, throwing herself into his arms.
He hugged her back, and she began crying on his chest.
"She was a bî+ch to everyone, but trust me I was starting to like her so much. I'm so pained" she sobbed.
"I'm sorry" Sin whispered, rubbing her back soothingly.
Trixie's tears continued, and he gulped nervously before talking again...
"I...I have something to tell you" he said.
Trixie slowly broke the hug and faced him, wiping her tears.
"What?" She sniffled like a kid.
Sin held her face gently...
"Yunno I love you genuinely, right? Even when you were still in love with Corey. I...
"I know, and I love you too" she replied, and he nodded.
"Good. Promise me that after this, you won't hate me"
"What's going on?" She asked, curiously.
Sin gulped nervously.
"Actually... Corey didn't try to rape godmother intentionally" he said.
Trixie squinted... "What do you mean?"
"That day...remember you brought Corey to your suite to try your first alcohol with you, and I was there" he said.
"Yeah"
"I... I added Viagra in the drink without your knowledge, and when you both drank it, you felt h0rny uncontrollably. That day, we had our first s+x remember? And Corey was with godmother when it acted in his system. The Viagra made him try raping the godmother, not because he really wanted to. I'm behind everything, and...
Trixie stepped away from him this time, shaking her head.
"You promised not to hate me Trixie! I'm sorry!" He begged, but she didn't wait for one more minute before turning around, walking away.
Sin placed his two hands on his head, watching her walk away with tears welling up in his eyes already.
"I was foolish...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" she muttered guiltily, falling on his knees devastatingly.
*
MANOR, 7PM*
Adeline woke up from her slumber three hours ago, and she has been parading the manor since then.
She has rounded it up to five times, taking her time to register everything in her head, especially the hell-themed living room and his mirror-walled bedroom.
She'd miss the f+ck out of those two, but she'd miss him more, and she's hoping she won't run crazy at this rate.
Klara already booked flights for her and Trixie, and they'd get on board as early as 8am tomorrow morning.
She was rubbing her fingers on the rose pot and smiling faintly when she heard the main door opening.
With a gasp, she stood and rushed out of the bedroom, running all the way to the door.
Madden is just coming in, holding a big tray of food and several bottles of vodka which is definitely for her.
A big smile overtook her features, and she ran madly into his arms despite the short distance between them.
Before she could get to to him, Madden quickly dropped the tray on the lamp table beside himself.
She literally jumped into his arms, and he held her securely, inhaling her scent as much as she's inhaling his own.
Her nose is all-over his body sniffling like a snuggle bear and rubbing her nose tip on his skin like a cat.
Before he knew it, she already undid four buttons from his shirt, and she sank her face into his chest, kissing her way up his neck and shoulders and finally his lips.
Madden kissed her back with insane fervour and mad intensity like they're contesting for kisser of the year or something, and her neck reddened as a result of how hard he held her there.
They were devouring each other's spirits and minds and hearts.
It was toxic, and they could feel the blooming of blood as their soul ties tightened once again.
Madden doesn't mind if she takes charge like this for today, but there has to be a reason for her wildness right now.
Principles and logic matters, so he broke the kiss, his lip so f+çking red from her bite.
Her pretty blue eyes are wild and different as he stared into them, and he tilted his head, lifting her chin with his pointer finger.
"What happened when I wasn't here? Who did you open the door for?" He asked hoarsely.
"No one. I just missed you so much. You left for nine hours, and it felt like ages. I've never been alone for this long since I left jail, and also I'm in suspense about what's happening outside... I don't wanna implicate...
He kissed her again before she could say the rest, and she closed her eyes, gasping as he bit her bottom lip teasingly.
Breaking the kiss was torture, but she endured by licking her lips.
"My decisions aren't yours to regret, dusha moya... I know how to handle my game, and all you have to do is watch me... Eyes on me" he growled, and she smiled, a smile filled with emotions.
"I love you, Madden Smirnov" she confessed for the third time, and he reeled in to kiss her eyes, her freckles, her cheek scar and chin.
"You should eat" he told her.
She shook her head otherwise.
"No. Can you just lay with me tonight? I know you're busy about everything but... Just let me finger your hair and have you sleep in my arms. I want that... please" she said.
"You're welcome" he replied bluntly, and she smiled prettily as he took her to the bedroom.
She stripped herself till her last clothing, and he did the same.
They got under the duvet together, his head on her chest like she requested.
She began fingering his hair with a slow smile, and the sound of her heart drummed in his ears.
"You're my sanity... Addie. You let me go, I run mad, and no prayer will stop me from turning this district to a graveyard. You know that" he muttered.
"Yes. You're my sanity too, Maddenchik" she replied, and she felt his jaws creasing.
He definitely did his secret smile again.
Fingering his hair for ten minutes made him fall asleep, and as she began feeling his cold breaths on her n+pples, she wiped the thin tear that fell from her eyes.
She kissed his arm tattoos.
Gawd... she's gonna miss those dark ink so f+çking much, and his hair.
This is insane.
*
HOUSE OF ORLOVS*
Trixie wiped her tears before entering the building.
After leaving Sin earlier, she went to the trampoline to be alone, and from there, she got a mail to come here.
She was led to Klara's office where Klara is already waiting with two tickets on her desk.
"Take them, and get out of Russia with your sister tomorrow. I talked to her already" Klara said on her desk.
"She knows already?" Trixie asked shockingly.
"Yes, and you're not going to the manor till Madden leaves tomorrow morning. I'll take care of your accommodation after you both land. If you don't leave before the wedding tomorrow, then I don't know what'd come next" Klara said.
Trixie slowly picked the tickets.
"Thank you" she said.
"Don't pack anything to avoid suspicions. I'll be kind enough to spare you and your sister some cash" Klara said.
"Thank you, godmother" Trixie said again.
*
NEXT MORNING, MANOR*
Adeline didn't sleep a wink till daybreak for the first time in history.
She spent all night staring at Madden's face, knowing it's for the last time.
By 7pm when Madden woke to shower, she had to shut her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
Madden had a clean shower and came back to dress up in a black suit.
Adeline opened her eyes, watching his attractive back view as he dressed up.
She's gonna miss seeing him in suit too.
She couldn't get her eyes off him till he was done dressing up, and she quickly shut her eyes when he faced her.
He walked to her and sat beside her, watching her for over ten minutes without blinking his orbs.
He lowered his body to hers and kissed her eyes, then he pulled the duvet away from her chest.
He kissed her n+pples, then he lowered the duvet further and kissed her pink little p+$$y.
He covered her properly and gave her eyebrows a long caress.
It's almost impossible leaving her here to go get married to another woman, but this has to be done.
He made sure he didn't look back as he walked out, till he was finally out.
Immediately he left, Adeline stood and dressed up in his sweatshirt and joggers which is times ten bigger than her.
It's so baggy, but she loves it that way anyways. At least, it has his scent which she wants so bad.
She didn't pack any bag, she only took her phone and took another look at the manor, a tear rolling down her eyes.
She was wiping as she stepped out of the mansion, meeting Trixie at the door.
"Big sis" Trixie shone her teeth immediately, and Adeline engulfed her in a really big hug.
She's wearing Sin's hoodie and cargo pants too, baggy just like Addie's, and she's wearing a beanie cap.
She brought a second cap out of her pocket and wore it for Adeline, then they wore masks too.
"I should have known you were my mother's daughter" Adeline said through the mask, and Trixie smiled.
"Let's go"
They left through the back of the mountain, and when they got to the base, Adeline looked back at the manor one last time.
"Goodbye, Madden" she muttered.
They exited the compound through the back gate, and a car was already waiting as instructed by Klara.
They got in, and the drive to the international airport took roughly twenty minutes.
Their flight is exactly 8:30, so they're just in time.
They went on board immediately, and fifteen minutes later, the plane took off.
*
CLAN, 9AM, ZOYA'S APARTMENT*
"We're done here" the hired make-up artist said, dropping her last tool after getting done with Zoya's makeup.
Zoya stood, her fishtail wedding gown hugging her curves in the middle and spreading to the ground at the knee.
She turned around in front of the mirror, feeling so fulfilled.
"Great, go tell Selesta to bring my kids to the cathedral. She should be done dressing them up already" she said, and her boys exchanged glances.
"Lady Selesta has been absent since last night" one of them said.
"Impossible.. she said she was gonna take my kids for the wedding shopping, and that they were gonna return late!"
"Respectfully, ma! Lady Selesta hasn't been seen by anyone since last night" the boys replied again, and Sergei came in.
"The cathedral is filled already, what's going on?" He demanded.
"My..my kids" Zoya literally pushed him out of the way, bunching her dress up in her arms as she ran out of the apartment.
She went to the kitchen, and her heart jumped when she really couldn't find the kids and Selesta.
Even in Selesta's apartment, they're nowhere to be found, but the living room rug is folded up, revealing a part of the ground.
That part is different from the other parts, and it even made a different sound when she stepped on it, so she knelt there and removed her heels, hitting it on the surface.
The glass shattered, revealing a wooden stairs which led to an underground segment.
Zoya climbed down the segment, and her eyes widened at what she saw.
There are several digital screens on the walls, and there are several black cloaks on the ground.
There are several papers on the ground with the drawing of the cross, and there are bibles and Qurans.
There are several skin plaster too, then several masking perfumes.
"Oh no" Zoya muttered in fright.
Her boys joined her shortly in the segment, and they were just as astounded.
Some mobsters started joining the crowd too, and Zoya rushed out.
*
CATHEDRAL*
The Bratva men are literally surrounding the cathedral, not because they care about the wedding, but because they're waiting for the election that's gonna happen after the wedding.
They're too sure that even if Madden marries Sergei's two daughters, he'd still get disqualified.
The cathedral is so crowdy inside too, and a lot are already present.
Klara, who's dressed in her white dress and half-veil as usual.
Maya who's in a black dress beside her.
Loud, Jinx and Malik are sitting at the front pew with other numerous mobsters, and Sergei is standing on the left side of Klara.
Madden himself is standing by the alter, ready to receive Zoya with different thoughts running through his fuçked up head.
He already knows where this would end, so he's just calculating the proximities in his mind.
This should better be over soon, he needs to go back to his real woman.
He needs to give her a proper kiss and bury himself inside her for as long as possible.
He needs to tell her how much he's obsessed with her, too.
His thoughts were interrupted when Zoya ran into the cathedral.
Voila... Just as he imagined.
"My kids! My kids are missing! Selesta took my kids!!" She shouted, taking off her second heel shoe.
When the wedding dress was becoming too problematic, she yanked it off, leaving her in her shorts and singlet.
Eyes and mouths widened as everyone stood.
"What's going on Zoya!" Sergei rushed to her.
"Aleksandr and Angelika have been missing since last night, Selesta... Selesta took them!" She said in panic.
Sergei's eyes widened with Maya's and Klara's, but Madden smirked classically.
"Madden our kids! Our kids are gone!" Zoya rushed to him.
"Send handful of guards and investigators in and out of this district! Contact the airport too for any record of her flight!" Sergei said to Klara.
"That won't be necessary" a new voice filtered in through the second adjacent door.
Everyone turned at once, facing the direction to see a masked woman stepping into the cathedral.
She trapped the kids in front of herself with different guns to their heads, and while Angelika is already crying, Aleksandr remained motionless.
The mobsters stood, getting their guns to aim for her, but she slid her fingers under the triggers immediately, ready to shoot the kids.
"Lower your guns!!" Zoya shouted fearfully.
The mobsters obeyed, and their hands went down.
The masked woman flipped off her mask by throwing her head back.
The mask fell to the ground with a swoosh, revealing her hair in a snaky style, and her full face with the obvious chest tattoo.
Immediately her face got revealed, unbelievable gasps filled the cathedral.
Madden growled out.
Now things are getting more interesting.
"Selesta?" Zoya muttered unbelievably.
Selesta ticked her head with a chuckle...
"Wrong... It's Nazeera. Erik's only wife... Nazeera Orlov! But some call me the Masked Monster" she uttered, pushing the gun closer to the heads of the kids.
"Mommy!!!" Angelika cried, peeing on herself.
"Selesta!!" Klara yelled.
"No one is leaving this place alive, and I'll start with your kids, Madden. Their lives will pay for my son's life you devil!!" Selesta said bitterly.
Madden rolled eyes bitterly too, sparks igniting inside his eyeballs.
"Interesting. Kill your grandchildren, slût" he said sadistically.
Selesta choked.
TBC.
