Chapter 335 - chapter 328 The snowfall

Far from the chaos of Moscow, in a secluded garden blanketed by snow, time seemed to stand still. A vast, tranquil river cut through the heart of the white landscape. Alia stood there, wearing nothing but a white net dress despite the biting cold. Her feet were bare, feeling the sting of the ice as she waded into the crystal-clear, freezing water. Her long, vibrant orange hair spilled across the surface of the river, floating like threads of fire. She looked like a siren of the snow, the sole queen of this frozen empire.

Then, emerging from the mist like a dark prince, came Viktor. Dressed in a black shirt and black pants, he created a stark contrast against the white world. Without a moment's hesitation, he stepped into the icy water, his sapphire eyes burning with an intense heat.

Viktor pulled Alia into his arms from behind, his strong grip wrapping around her waist over the thin fabric of her dress. Beneath the water, their tattoos his dragon and her phoenix seemed to spark against each other.

Leaning in, Viktor whispered against her ear:

Viktor: "Do you have any idea, Alia? Even in this freezing water, you burn like a flame. You are my phoenix, and I will never let you fade."

Alia turned in his arms, her "cold-blooded" gaze melting into pure vulnerability. She gripped the collar of his wet shirt, and in the next heartbeat, Viktor claimed her lips in a deep, desperate kiss.

In that snowy garden, in the middle of a frozen river, their kiss defied the cold, igniting a fire that promised to burn forever. Surrounded by white snow and dark water, they were two souls finally becoming one. The water was deeper now, reaching up to their chests. Alia's large veil billowed in the current, wrapping around Viktor's body like a mystical shroud, binding them together. In the purity of the snowfall and the clarity of the river, their union looked like something out of a dream.

Viktor moved closer, his sapphire eyes shimmering with profound affection. He pressed a long, tender kiss to her wet forehead and then her lips. As he pulled back, he let out a rare, beautiful laugh—one devoid of a mafia don's ruthlessness, showing only a lover's surrender.

Cupping Alia's face in his palms, he whispered to her in a deep, soul-stirring Russian:

Viktor: "Я люблю тебя, моя королева Анастасия... Моя принцесса."

(Ya lyublyu tebya, moya koroleva Anastasiya... Moya printsessa.)

Translation: "I love you, my queen Anastasia... My princess."

Alia stared into his eyes, her "cold-blooded" heart finally overflowing with warmth. She leaned her head against his chest and smiled softly. In the middle of that freezing river, they were in the warmest, safest place on earth. The snow continued to fall, but the only thing echoing in that white silence was the weight of Viktor's Russian confession.Alia's sudden question Viktor , if I die. shattered the magical silence, turning it into a heavy, suffocating melancholy. Viktor's face instantly hardened like stone. He tightened his grip around her, pulling her so close it felt as if he were trying to merge their souls.

Pressing his chin against her head, Viktor spoke in a thick, trembling rasp:

Viktor: "If I ever hear those words from your lips again, I will burn the entire city of Moscow to ashes, Alia. If you die, there is no Viktor Petrov."

He pulled back slightly, staring directly into her eyes. His sapphire eyes were filled with a terrifying mix of madness and despair. He whispered again in Russian

Viktor: "Ты моя жизнь, Анастасия. (You are my life, Anastasia.) If death comes for you, it will have to pass over my cold body first. And if God dares to take you from me, I will tear down the gates of hell to bring you back."

Alia saw a single tear glisten in the corner of his eye. Her "psycho," ruthless husband was as vulnerable as a child at the mere thought of losing her.

She wiped his cheek with her wet hand, her "cold-blooded" voice softening into something profoundly tender.

Alia: "I'm not going anywhere, Viktor. I just wanted to know if my phoenix ever turns to ash, would your butterfly be able to fly alone?"

Viktor didn't answer. He simply leaned his forehead against hers, standing in the middle of that freezing river. His dragon and owl tattoos seemed to stand guard over her phoenix, ensuring that no shadow would ever dare to take her away. Alia's words brought a profound, spiritual silence to the snowy landscape. Staring deep into Viktor's eyes, she spoke with a calm yet heavy gravity. They had waded deeper into the river, the freezing water now brushing their chins. Neither showed any discomfort; years of rigorous training allowed them to hold their breath for nearly two hours underwater. They were perfectly synchronized in every way.

Alia gripped the collar of Viktor's wet shirt, pulling him closer as she whispered:

Alia: "Viktor, never speak of tearing down the gates of hell again. It's a sin. You say these things out of pure emotion, but remember, we own nothing in this world. Every soul must taste death eventually."

She paused, her eyes reflecting a deep philosophy rather than her usual "cold-blooded" distance.

Alia: "This world isn't real, Viktor. It's a grand illusion. We are just guests here for a few days. What is real is as transparent and deep as this water but this body and this power are not eternal."

Viktor remained silent, the madness in his sapphire eyes dimming. He realized his wife was not just his passion, but his conscience. He squeezed her hand beneath the water's surface.

Viktor: (In a low, steady voice) "You always ground me, Anastasia. Your wisdom is what sets you apart. Maybe the world is a lie, but this moment your existence in my arms is the only truth I recognize."

Viktor pulled her with him as they submerged fully. Beneath the surface, their long hair intertwined in the current. In that silent, blue world where the lies of the earth couldn't reach, they stared into each other's eyes for a long time. Their trained lungs felt full, fueled not just by oxygen, but by their absolute connection Underwater, Viktor pulled Alia into a deep, powerful embrace. His broad, tattooed chest pressed against her, their bodies merging in the silent current. With his sapphire eyes burning with raw emotion, he whispered a long, regal declaration in Russian near her ear:

Viktor: "Анастасия, ты мой свет в этой тьме. Я клянусь, что до моего последнего вздоха ни одна душа не причинит тебе вреда. Ты моя жизнь, моя душа и моя вечность. Я люблю тебя больше, чем саму жизнь."

Anastasia, you are my light in this darkness. I swear, until my very last breath, not a single soul shall ever harm you. You are my life, my soul, and my eternity. I love you more than life itself."

After speaking, Viktor held her even tighter. In the depths of that freezing river, his whispered Russian oath became an unbreakable bond. Alia felt that this obsessive, mad love of Viktor's was, in truth, her greatest sanctuary. Hearing Viktor's solemn oath, a mysterious and satisfied smile played on Alia's lips. She ran her fingers through his wet hair, looking deep into his eyes. Alia wasn't just his wife or a storyteller; she was his equal, capable of speaking his language with lethal grace.

In her trademark "cold-blooded" yet enchanting voice, she replied in flawless Russian:

Alia: "Виктор, я твоя половина, и никакая смерть не разлучит нас. Моя душа принадлежит тебе, и в этой лживой жизни ты — моя единственная правда. Я всегда буду с тобой."

Translation: "Viktor, I am your other half, and no death shall ever part us. My soul belongs to you, and in this deceptive life, you are my only truth. I will be with you always."

Hearing his mother tongue and such profound words from Alia's lips, Viktor's eyes brimmed with emotion. He lifted her high in his arms within the water. In the white silence of the snowfall, in the heart of that frozen river, they stood like the protagonists of an immortal epic.

Alia's vibrant orange hair spilled over Viktor's black shirt like a flame against the night sky. In that moment, even the freezing nature of Moscow seemed to yield to the heat of their breath and the intensity of their bond.Viktor pulled out a small, waterproof headphone. With absolute tenderness, he placed one earbud in Alia's ear and the other in his own. In the depths of the water, where all the sounds of the outside world had fallen silent, the ethereal melody of Claire Michelle's "Soul of the Sea" began to play.

The music was magical. Every vibration of the tune underwater seemed to ripple through their very cells, bringing a profound sense of peace. The snowfall, the freezing river, and the bloodshed of their lives everything seemed to dissolve into that melody.

Alia closed her eyes, feeling the music. Her vibrant orange hair swayed in the current to the rhythm of the soul-stirring notes. The song told a story of the ocean's deepest abyss, where there is no chaos, only primal stillness.

Viktor held Alia close against him. In the midst of this melody, they felt as if they had reached a different dimension. Beneath the surface, their breaths merged as one. "Soul of the Sea" washed away their "cold-blooded" hardness, replacing it with a spiritual wholeness.

In that desolate corner of Moscow, deep within the snowy river, they remained submerged in the intoxication of the music where time stood still, and their two souls vanished into each other to find a new truth. Then they both sing। .1. Viktor voice The Warmest Wave

Drifting on a deep blue wave,

Lost in this ocean I have made.

The sun above is warm and bright,

But silence holds me in the night.

Alia 2 . Beneath the Blue

Searching for myself in the deep,

Sailing on the waves of memory.

Everything dissolves in time's flow,

Only a silent echo remains.

My calm heart in the blue shadow, Then they sing together. Viktor We drift beneath the silver moon

Alia The tide pulls us into the tune

(Both) Our voices merge within the salt

(Both) Here where the turning currents halt Ooh... aah...)

The horizon's indigo line

Our final breath, a fading sign

(Ooh... fade away...)

Forever alone in the sea's glow.As Alia and Viktor remain submerged in the freezing depths of the Moscow river, these lyrics reflect their inner souls. Even though they are "perfectly trained" and "cold-blooded" on the outside, your words show their vulnerabilit
