Chapter 636 - chapter 627 The Price of Absence

Meanwhile, Alia was sitting alone, feeling incredibly sad. Time seemed to drag on endlessly without Viktor by her side. Just then, Viktor appeared out of nowhere to surprise her, holding a massive bouquet of flowers.

Seeing him, Alia couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. She rushed into his arms, bursting into tears as she hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much, Viktor!" she cried.

Viktor gently stroked her hair, comforting her. With a soft smile, he said, "You know, Alexander adopted a little boy. Remember I told you on the call that they had a baby?"

Hearing this, Alia wiped her tears and let out a surprised laugh. "I was so shocked when I heard that! I was thinking to myself, how did that happen so fast!" Seeing Alia's surprised expression and her radiant smile, a profound sense of warmth washed over Viktor. He looked into her eyes with a gentle, reassuring smile. Without saying a word, Viktor suddenly swept Alia up into his arms, lifting her effortlessly.

Alia was startled and blushed with a sweet, shy embarrassment, but she soon rested her head against his shoulder, feeling completely at ease. As Viktor carried her through the room, amidst the fragrance of the flowers and the intimacy of their private moment, he spoke in a calm, soft voice: "It is now my responsibility to clear away all your doubts and surprises. Just like Alexander and Natasha, we too can begin a new chapter of our lives one filled only with happiness and peace."

Alia hid her face against his chest and smiled softly. She knew that after such a long wait, having Viktor by her side was the greatest gift of her life.This deep night between Alia and Viktor seemed to belong to another world altogether. In the hotel room wrapped in a dim blue glow, Alia stood alone before the mirror, staring at her own reflection while thousands of doubts swirled through her mind. At that exact moment, Viktor came to stand behind her. Every movement of his carried the confidence of a man who believed she belonged to him, yet his eyes burned with intense emotion.

When Alia said in a melancholy voice, "I thought we were going to Utopia," there was a quiet sigh hidden beneath her words. She had dreamedof a perfect destination, a world filled with peace and order. But when Viktor gently placed his hand on her shoulder, Alia trembled at his touch. In a calm yet deeply resonant voice, he asked, "My princess, why do you think this is not Utopia?"

Viktor's every action was carefully measured. When he turned Alia away from the mirror to face him, the look in his eyes felt almost like a command, while his voice carried the intoxicating depth of love. Embarrassed, Alialowered her head, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks, which only made Viktor's gaze grow even more intense. With the hand adorned by his watch and covered in tattoos, he touched her gently, as if trying to tell her that the entire world meant nothing to him without her presence in it.

Later, when they stood in the blue-lit bathroom filled with shimmering water, Alia felt as though her body was caught in a strange haze of warmth and love. From behind the wall, Viktor watched her, and there was something almost predatory in the way he looked at her yetwhat he hunted for was love itself. When Alia emerged from the bath wrapped in a bathrobe, her eyes held a mixture of irritation and reluctant affection that she could not fully hide.

Every line of Alia's body seemed restless, and Viktor was quietly taking advantage of that vulnerability. Through his voice and the language of his eyes, he made her understand one thing: wherever Alia was, that place became his Utopia. When Alia looked into his eyes, she realized there was no escape from Viktor's possessive love and overwhelming devotion.Their conversation was not an ordinary exchange of words; it was a silent pact of surrender to one another. Their language no longer existed only in spoken sentences it lived in their gazes, in the fierce way they protected each other, and in the intensity that lifted the loneliness of that night to an entirely different height. The time seemed to stand still in the soft, blue glow of the hotel room. The intensity of Viktor's embrace and the heat radiating from his body pulled Alia into a trance. The friction between the coolness of the bathroom air and the warmth of their surroundings had pushed the tension between them to its breaking point.

As Viktor gently guided Alia toward the bed, his every touch was marked by a fierce sense of possession. Alia found no strength to resist, for Viktor's eyes held a profound longing that shattered all her defenses. He sat her down on the soft mattress and took both her hands firmly into his, as if to ensure that from this night forward, she belonged only to him.

The gentle creaking of the bed and the ragged, heavy breaths in the silent room created an intimate rhythm of their own. When Viktor's voice whispered softly near her ear, a faint, breathless cry escaped Alia's lips—"Ah, Viktor..."—a sound devoid of pain, embodying her complete surrender to him.

Their existence narrowed down to just the two of them. As Viktor's grip tightened, Alia poured herself even more deeply into that ocean of love. The rhythmic movement of the bed and the sound of their synchronized heartbeats seemed to drown out the rest of the world, leaving only a raw, intense aura of passion. That night, they were lost in one another, creating their own secret, private Utopia a place where the rules of the outside world ceased to exist. The union of Viktor's possessiveness and Alia's untainted love outshone the night sky itself. Those moments were a profound expression of a silent language where words had long since become unnecessary, leaving only the desperate, beautiful need to possess and cherish one another completely.In the intensity of the moment, a strange tremor took hold of Alia's voice. Looking into Viktor's eyes, she whispered in a shaky, trembling tone, "Viktor... am I truly that precious to you? Everything... the way you hold me, the way you protect me will this last forever? I am afraid... what if this Utopia fades away like a dream?"

Her words were not just a question; they were an expression of the deep-seated anxiety buried within her. She knew that behind Viktor's intense love lay a powerful, dangerous world, and with that came the gnawing fear of losing the one person who meant everything to her. Alia pressed her head against his chest, clinging to him even tighter, as if seeking the answer to all her fears in the calm, resolute depth of his gaze. Viktor ran his hand through her hair, pulling her closer, silently promising her that nothing in this world could ever break the bond they shared. Alia bit her lip, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. In the midst of the rhythmic movement of the bed, she looked into Viktor's eyes and whispered in a trembling voice, "Viktor... there's something..."

Viktor pulled her chin closer, his voice low, intense, and commanding, "What? Tell me."

Alia caught her breath, her eyes shimmering. She voiced the words that captured the raw uncertainty and passion of their moment:

"I thought we were going to Utopia?"

Viktor pulled her into an even tighter embrace, a mysterious smile playing on his lips as he countered, "What makes you say this isn't Utopia?"

In a daze, Alia murmured, "I mean, I don't know, isn't it supposed to be some perfect destination?"

Viktor leaned close to her ear, his voice a gravelly whisper, "This is just your hotel room."

"Yeah..." Alia breathed out, a tremor of intense pleasure and emotion running through her.

At that exact moment, Viktor looked deeply into her eyes and declared with unwavering certainty, "It looks perfect to me."

In an instant, all of Alia's fears and doubts dissolved. She realized that her true Utopia was not a destination in the outside world, but simply the presence of Viktor and this singular, private moment they shared. Their intense embrace and the warmth of their love seemed to make the night feel eternal. Alia understood the power she held over Viktor. There was a mischievous glint in her eyes and a mysterious smile playing on her lips. Intent on igniting his possessive nature, she playfully pushed the boundaries. Placing a hand on his chest and looking directly into his eyes with a teasing smirk, she whispered, "Do you truly love me this much, Viktor? Or are you just satisfying your own stubbornness? If someone else understood me better than you do, would you let me go?"

Viktor's jaw tightened instantly. The calm intensity in his eyes vanished, replaced by a volcanic fury. He pulled Alia even closer, his grip firm and unrelenting. Through gritted teeth, his voice low and dangerous, he growled, "Someone else? Don't you dare imagine anyone else within my boundaries, Alia. I will never let you belong to anyone but me."

Instead of being frightened by his sudden anger, Alia felt a surge of thrill. The movement of the bed became more forceful, rhythmic, and intense. A satisfied, melodic hum"Hmm..."escaped Alia's throat. She laughed softly, knowing exactly how to provoke him, how to make him react. Every creak of the bed served as a witness to their heated moment.

As Viktor claimed her with renewed intensity, Alia whispered, "See? You get angry so easily, my dear Viktor..." Her voice was filled with the joy of victory; for her, this fierce intensity was the very essence of her Utopia. Their playful banter and their struggle of passion left the entire room trembling with electricity. Morning arrived, and Viktor quietly slipped into the room to watch Alia in her deep, peaceful slumber. Seeing her so serene, he felt he had found a piece of his own soul, but he chose not to wake her and left the room in silence.

When Alia finally woke, wrapped only in a thin blue sheet that barely concealed her, she moved gracefully toward the hotel's expansive swimming pool,Then Alia Who are the maids? Everyone, clean up what you are doing and fix everything. Your dark lord will come in a little

while seeking the refreshing touch of the water. As she stepped into the cool, blue depths, black rose petals drifted around her, and she seemed to float like a mystical siren beneath the surface.

From the corner of a nearby window, Viktor stood watching her intently. He was dressed in a crisp white shirt, which only heightened his aura of nobility and cold, commanding strength. As Alia emerged from the water and swept her wet hair back with her hands, a mischievous, devilish smirk played on Viktor's lips. He knew she was watching him. But Alia was no less captivating; she saw the primitive longing ignited in his gaze, and she met it with a quiet confidence. She knew perfectly well that the elegance of her wet, radiant form was enough to bring even a man like Viktor under her spell. Their silent game of gazes turned the vast hotel hall into a charged stage of unspoken tension. Alia returned to her room after her swim, droplets of water still glistening on her skin. She stood before the mirror, carefully inserting blue-tinted contact lenses into her eyes. Suddenly, from right behind her, Viktor's voice resonated in the quiet room: "Hello, kitty."

Alia startled, her task interrupted mid-way. Before she could react, she felt Viktor's familiar, commanding touch. In one swift movement, he swept her up into his arms. Alia was still damp, her eyes glowing with the striking blue of the lenses.

What was most striking was their choice of attire they were both dressed in white. The purity of the white fabric only served to accentuate the deep, shy flush rising on Alia's cheeks. Nestled in Viktor's arms, her face turned a brilliant shade of red with bashfulness. She buried her head into his shoulder, as if the whiteness of their clothes was marking the beginning of a new chapter in their love story. Viktor smiled, pulling her even tighter. His devilish grin, combined with the pure adoration in his eyes, sent a wave of electric shivers through Alia. Dressed in matching white, they looked like a vision of pure elegance, but beneath that pristine exterior, a fierce intensity simmered within Viktor. Holding Alia in his arms, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Shall we... have sex now? Hmm?"

Alia's entire body flushed a deep, brilliant red with bashfulness. Trembling, she quickly replied, "No, Viktor... not right now."

Viktor chuckled upon hearing her shy protest a laugh filled with stubbornness and possessiveness. Without a word, he set her down on the bed and placed his hand firmly on her thigh. Seeing her mix of excitement and hesitation, he gently pressed a finger to her lips and whispered, "Shhh..." as if to say that his desires were not up for debate. The intensity in the room shifted, marked by the sharp sound of Viktor undoing his belt. Alia's desperate plea, "No, Viktor... I can't. My stomach hurts, and I can't take your... your masculinity right now," hung in the air, fragile and trembling.

Viktor didn't pull back. Instead, the challenge in her words seemed to ignite something darker within him. He loomed over her, his tall, powerful frame casting a shadow that seemed to swallow the light. As he pinned her against the mattress, he leaned down, his voice a low, gravelly vibration against her ear.

"You know me well enough to realize that I don't respond well to excuses," he whispered, his tone devoid of softness. He trailed a hand firmly down her body, his touch mapping out his complete control. "Just as I am physically imposing, so are my demands. You don't get to dictate the terms when I've already made up my mind."

He caught her chin, forcing her to meet his predatory gaze. There was no room for negotiation in the set of his jaw or the possessive gleam in his eyes. He wasn't just claiming a moment; he was asserting a dominance that left no space for her hesitation. Every inch of his presence was a reminder: his desires were inevitable, and she was entirely within his grasp.

Alia suddenly bolted from the bed, her movements sharp with adrenaline. She scrambled to put distance between herself and Viktor, desperate for an escape from his overwhelming presence.

Viktor didn't immediately lunge after her. Instead, he watched her with a calm, predatory patience, his eyes tracking every frantic motion. As she reached the door, he called out, his voice smooth but carrying an undeniable edge of authority, "Where do you think you're going?"

Alia paused, her breath hitching, and didn't dare look back. "I have a mission," she replied, her voice trembling but determined. "It can't wait."

The room went deathly silent. For a long moment, Viktor didn't move. Finally, a low, humorless chuckle escaped him. He straightened his posture, his towering frame imposing even from across the room.

"A mission," he repeated, savoring the word as if it were a game. He walked slowly toward her, his footsteps echoing with deliberate intent until he was standing just behind her, his warmth radiating against her back. He leaned down, his lips brushing the shell of her ear. "Very well. Go. But remember whatever this mission is, you are still mine. And you will return to me the moment it is over."

He stepped back, granting her the freedom to leave, but his words hung in the air like a shackle, ensuring she knew exactly who held the reins of her life.
