The night was fading, but the heat in the kitchen was only intensifying. Victor's primal dominance and Alia's complete surrender had turned the space into a scene of beautiful wreckage.
Victor didn't let go for a second. The leather belt left crimson marks on Alia's wrists, but the sting only fueled her adrenaline. He pulled her off the wall and sat her directly on his lap, right next to the shards of broken glass. Her skin was glistening with sweat under the dim morning light.
Victor: (Nipping at her ear) "You belong only to me tonight. You have no right to think about the palace, the children, or the enemies."
Alia rested her head weakly on his shoulder. Her oversized white shirt was tattered and barely clinging to her frame. She managed to gasp out—
Alia: "I'm... I'm breaking, Victor... I can't... take any more..."
Just then, the first faint light of dawn filtered through the kitchen windows. The light revealed the chaos—the shattered glass, the spilled water, and their disheveled clothes—creating a hauntingly beautiful scene of destruction.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed from upstairs. One of the five children was likely coming down for a glass of water. Reality hit Alia like a cold wave. She looked at Victor with wide, panicked eyes.
Alia: (Whispering urgently) "Victor! Stop! Someone is coming... undo the belt... please!"
Victor didn't stop. He looked into her eyes and gave a dark, enigmatic smirk. Instead of letting go, he tugged the belt tighter, pulling her flush against him. He felt no fear; if anything, the danger only heightened his thrill.
The footsteps were getting closer in the corridor. Alia remained frozen on Victor's lap, her hands bound and her body trembling. To the world, they were the terror of the underworld, but in this moment, they were just two lovers caught on the edge of a dangerous discovery. The footsteps faded away just outside the door. Perhaps the child changed their mind, or perhaps luck was on Alia's side. But Victor felt no relief—only a renewed sense of dark playfulness.
Just as Alia thought she might be released, Victor slammed her back onto the counter. Her white shirt was now completely open. Victor grabbed both of her legs firmly (Victor holds both her legs), pinning her down.
Victor's eyes had shifted—they were no longer their usual shade. In the height of his adrenaline, they had turned a piercing, ice-blue (Ice-Blue eyes). There was a strange, predatory hunger in that gaze. He began to trail his tongue up her legs (Victor starts licking her legs), starting from her ankles.
Alia: (Shivering under his touch) "Victor... Ugh! Why won't you stop? What if someone sees? And your eyes... don't look at me like that!"
Victor didn't stop; instead, he let out a low, dark chuckle. There was no mercy in that sound, only the absolute dominance of a Mafia Don. He brought his face close to her thighs and locked his ice-blue gaze with hers.
Victor: (Smirking as he licked his lips) "The children are gone, Alia. Now this kitchen and this dawn belong only to me. I'm not letting you go until I've consumed every bit of you."
Victor held her spellbound with those haunting blue eyes. Alia's hands remained bound behind her with the belt. He pried her legs apart once more, diving back into that primal rhythm. As the morning light grew brighter, Victor's madness only intensified. Alia realized then there was no escaping her Don today.Victor's ice-blue madness and his unrelenting resolve showed no signs of fading. He wasn't going to give Alia the luxury of time to reach the bedroom. He decided, right here on this marble countertop, he would bring his royal dominance to its final, explosive end.
Victor yanked Alia's bound hands slightly higher, anchoring her firmly. The morning light now illuminated every corner of the kitchen, highlighting the crimson marks of his touch on her pale skin. Alia kept her eyes tightly shut, caught between the sting of pain and the rush of pure ecstasy.
Locking his ice-blue gaze with hers, Victor pushed the intensity to its absolute peak. The glass jars on the counter rattled against each other, creating a frantic rhythm that matched their heartbeat.
Alia: (Screaming out) "Victorr! No more... Ugh! I'm... I'm breaking!"
Victor remained silent, biting his lip as every muscle in his body coiled with tension. In one final, devastating surge, he pulled her flush against him and held her there. Alia's entire body racked with a violent tremor, her voice failing her as she hit the peak.
A heavy, profound silence finally fell over the kitchen, broken only by the sound of their ragged, synchronized breathing. Victor buried his face in the crook of her neck, his eyes slowly fading from that piercing blue back to their natural shade.
He slowly unbuckled the belt from her wrists. As soon as she was free, Alia collapsed into his arms, her strength gone. Her white shirt was tattered, her skin glistening with sweat and the remnants of their storm.
Victor: (Panting, with a triumphant smirk) "I told you, Alia. I'd consume you. From today, this counter stands as a witness to our war."
Alia couldn't find the words to speak. She simply leaned against his chest, her eyes closed. The morning sun was fully up now, but for this Mafia couple, the night had only just reached its end.Victor's ice-blue madness and his unrelenting resolve showed no signs of fading.

The morning sun was fully up now, but for this Mafia couple, the night had only just reached its end.As Victor came back to his senses amidst the wreckage of the kitchen, he realized the household would wake up in minutes. Any one of their five children or a security guard could walk in at any moment. He looked at Alia; she was leaning against the counter, eyes half-closed with exhaustion, the red marks from the belt clear on her wrists, and the white shirt barely holding together.
Victor didn't waste a second. He quickly fixed his own clothes and swept Alia up into his arms (Victor lifts Alia in his arms). Without a word, Alia wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face into his broad chest to hide from the world.
Victor: (In a low whisper) "Stay quiet. I need to get you upstairs before anyone sees."
He moved with tactical stealth, avoiding the main hallway and taking the private staircase used only by them. As he climbed, the hem of Alia's tattered shirt brushed against his arms, and her bare legs dangled as she clung to him for support.
Once inside the master bedroom, Victor kicked the door shut and laid her gently onto the soft mattress of their massive king-sized bed. The bright morning light was now flooding the room.
Alia sank into the pillows, a faint, tired smile playing on her lips. The intensity of the night was still visible in her gaze.
Alia: "You're truly insane, Victor. What if we had been caught?"
Victor: (Stripping off his shirt and sitting beside her) "The Godmother's Don fears no one, Alia. Now, get some rest. In two hours, our five 'monsters' will be waiting for us at the breakfast table."
He pressed a lingering, tender kiss to her forehead and pulled the duvet over her. The storm of the kitchen had finally settled into a deep, protective calm. But they both knew that behind this peace, the war with Aryan Romanov and the weight of their empire was waiting for them.In the quiet of the bedroom, only the softness of dawn remained. Alia was so exhausted that she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep the moment her head hit the pillow. Victor knew exactly how much she had endured tonight.
While Alia was fast asleep, her trusted maid entered the room, carrying little Marco. This child was a secret link to Alia's past—the child of her ex-boyfriend, whom she had adopted as her own. While Victor knew the truth, the world saw Marco only as a child of the Romanov-Alia lineage.
The maid carefully laid the baby beside Alia. Even in her sleep, Alia's maternal instinct kicked in. She instinctively adjusted her torn shirt. Hungry and seeking comfort, little Marco began breastfeeding. A divine peace washed over Alia's face, making her look miles away from the bloodshed and power struggles of the mafia world.
Aloha, another one of their children, stood partially hidden by the door, watching the scene. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and affection. She saw how the fierce 'Godmother' had transformed into a simple, loving mother.
Victor stood by the window, buttoning his shirt while watching the reflection in the mirror. The ice-blue madness in his eyes was gone. He knew this child wasn't his blood, but he respected Alia's love for him as much as he loved her.
Victor: (Thinking to himself) "Alia, this innocent moment is your true identity. To protect this peace, I would burn the entire world down."
The room was silent. On one side, Alia in deep sleep with little Marco at her breast, and on the other, Victor standing tall like a protective mountain. It was the perfect calm after a violent storm.The morning sun cast a regal glow over the mansion, washing away the chaotic shadows of the previous night. Alia stood before the full-length mirror, her transformation complete. She had shed the oversized white shirt of the night before, replaced now by a crisp, white sleeveless top and matching shorts. Her long, chocolate-brown hair flowed freely over her shoulders, and her diamond earrings caught the light with every move.As Alia admired her reflection, Victor stepped up behind her. He looked impeccable in a tailored white shirt with intricate black embroidery on the collar. His ice-blue eyes, which had burned with such primal intensity hours ago, were now calm, possessive, and filled with admiration for his Queen.
Alia turned and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning in to press a lingering kiss on his jaw.
Alia: (Softly) "You were truly a beast last night, Victor. Those blue eyes of yours... they still haunt me."
Victor let out a low, victorious chuckle, his hand resting firmly on his phone. Suddenly, the device vibrated. His expression shifted instantly from a lover to a cold-blooded Don. He answered the call, his voice turning into steel.
Victor: (Into the phone) "Do it. Burn every shipment belonging to Aryan Romanov. Leave nothing but ashes in the middle of the ocean."
Alia watched him, her eyes wide with a mix of curiosity and pride. She noticed the red string tied around his wrist—a symbol of their unspoken vow. Even as he ordered the destruction of their enemies, he remained her protector.
Victor: (Hanging up and looking at her) "It's done, Alia. The path for Marco and our other children is being cleared. No one will ever threaten what is ours."
Alia leaned her head against his broad chest. She thought of little Marco, sleeping peacefully under the watchful eye of the maid, and felt a profound sense of security. The world might see them as monsters, but within these walls, they were a fortress.
