The Romanov Diadem: Oblast Dmitrovka

"Viktor, let me help you!"Xandrova looked at Viktor worriedly. Her beautiful face looked paler than usual."No, Zoya!"The sentence that Viktor had just spoken, of course, surprised Xandrova. For Viktor Gusev Konstantin, bearing his wife's surname was not a burden, as most people told him. However, it's not something to be proud of either."Why? I'm your wife, right?"Xandrova frowned as she waited for Viktor to answer her question."Yes! Precisely! Because you're my wife. I won't let you do heavy things like carrying these suitcases, Zoya."Viktor's baritone voice made Xandrova smile. Not because of his distinctive voice. It was because the meaning implied in the sentence Viktor just said was always able to hypnotize her and make her a valuable woman in his eyes."Viktor, Ya lyublyu vas!" Meaning, "I love you!"Xandrova briefly stood on tiptoe, then pressed her rosy lips to the surface of Viktor's cheek."Let's just go into our room, shall we?"Xandrova exclaimed after surprising Vi

Maksim looked at Viktor questioningly. He waited for Viktor to explain the meaning of the sentence that had offended him."Tell me!"With a slight yell, Maksim ordered Viktor to quickly answer his question. However Maksim's bluster and sharp eyes didn't make Viktor's guts shrink. Instead, the man stared at Maksim as he pulls one corner of his lips up."For a man like you, shouldn't you be intelligent enough to understand my words, the honorable Mr. Maksim?!"Viktor grinned as he lightly tapped Maksim's left shoulder. He turned to Xandrova and found her looking at him. Viktor nodded to his wife."Come on, Zoya!"'Damn! How dare he mention my full name in an insulting tone! And, how dare he return my gaze,' Maksim is furious with Viktor's behavior. That poor guy shouldn't be able to move when I look at him, he continued inwardly.Viktor leaves with Xandrova, leaving behind his wife's family and Maksim, who is always trying to take Xandrova away from him. The man without a job held Xandr

This summer was different for Viktor. He was no longer alone. He had married Xandrova cause of the great master of the Konstantin familyーGennadius Zigfrids Konstantin, who matched his only granddaughter with Viktor. Viktor was extremely happy, although he couldn't fully say he was happy as long as poverty lingered.Viktor and Xandrova walked along the Neva river. Neither of them had spoken since leaving Maksim earlier. They were busy with their own thoughts. Their presence attracted the attention of everyone who was there.Viktor tries to contain his anger in front of Xandrova. He didn't want to scare his wife or make her feel uncomfortable when he was with her. And, Xandrova realized that. "Viktor, I ...."Viktor stopped his steps when he realized that Xandrova wanted to say something. Viktor grasped both of Xandrova's hands. "What's wrong? Just tell me, Zoya!"Xandrova looked up to see Viktor's handsome faceーeven more handsome than her ex-fiancé. "'I'm...I'm...."Two pairs of bea

Davidoff asked as he put down his cutlery. He looked at Galana as he raised one eyebrow. "What do you think, Galana? Isn't that just a flower?"'Huh?! What?! Just a flower?! But did you know that every flower has its own meaning?!'Viktor looked at the red rose in Feliks' hand. Do you know the meaning of a red rose? That's right! Red roses symbolize love and affection. Unlike the other colors of roses. "Take that bouquet away from here!"Viktor had made a decision that surprised many. Feliks looked at his master to await further instructions. Not long after, Feliks nodded after Maksim snapped his fingers."Viktor, don't be stubborn!"Again, Davidoff reprimanded Viktor harshly. Likewise, Galana was just as upset as her husband. "How many times do I have to tell you, Viktor! It's just a bouquet of flowers.""Sorry, Ma. I stand my ground."True to his nature, Viktor was stubborn. And, he always stood his ground."Oh, it's okay, Pa, Ma. Every flower has its own meaning. But you don't h

"Yeah? What's wrong, Viktor? Have you finally changed your mind and let me see Beliye Nochi ?"Xandrova asked with full enthusiasm. He grabbed both of Viktor's hands.'Good grief! Who can resist Zoya's adorable face? He... he was like a white kitten teasing him to play.'Viktor said to himself while smiling. He didn't know and didn't understand why his heart always melted with Xandrova's adorable behavior."Okay... okay. However, promise to stay with me, Zoya!"A wide smile spread involuntarily on Xandrova's pink lips.Xandrova's blue eyes said thank you to Viktor without making a sound. Not thanking him for allowing her to see Beliye Nochi, but thanking him for being the most understanding and caring husband to her."Viktor, you're very handsome."Xandrova brought her husband's hands which she had been holding earlier to her lips. Then unexpectedly, Xandrova kissed him briefly."Humm?!"Viktor was fooled by Xandrova's words and behavior. His laughter suddenly broke out."Ha! Ha! Ha!
