On the other hand at Russo penthouse in Otello's bedroom as Svana woke up in his arms and they both were naked under the blanket and her whole body was filled with his kisses and hickeys and love bites and his neck and chest also filled with her hickeys and he was still asleep.
Otello's arms were wrapped around Svana tightly, his body pressed up against yours. As she woke up and looked at him, she could see the love bites and hickeys that she had left on his neck and chest, the sight of which sent a wave of satisfaction through her.
Otello was still asleep, his breaths slow and steady. His arms instinctively tightened around her, pulling her closer to his bare, muscular chest as he mumbled something in his sleep.
Svana's heart ached at the thought of his sacrifice in her past life. She knew that she can't let this happen again.
Her fingers gently ran through his hair as she pressed a soft kiss to his forehead. Svana silently vowed to herself that she would do everything to protect him this time around.
As Svana smiled softly and said.
"Morning babe"
Otello's eyes slowly fluttered open as he heard the sound of Svana's voice, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.
"Morning gorgeous," he replied, his voice rough and gravelly from sleep.
He reached out to pull her closer, his arm wrapping around her possessively as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent.
After some hours Svana went to the company's office where she was working under as a model as she saw Nicci and Dario as Svana's friend came to her who was her manager as she told her that Nicci is also joining the company as a model too as Svana nodded yes and said.
"Those fools won't behave"
Nicci was walking in the company's office with a smirk on her face, looking around at the other models.
She saw Svana from a distance with her manager and she couldn't help but feel a little smug.
She sauntered over to Svana, her heels clacking on the floors.
"Look who it is, if it isn't little miss famous model." She said with a hint of mockery in her voice.
Svana rolled her eyes and said.
"Don't think yourself too high, Stepsis, you are here because Dario got you to work here because of his connection"
Nicci scoffed at Svana's words, her smirk widening.
"Oh please, don't act like you're above me just because you're a successful model.
And yes, my fiancé is the reason I'm here, but that doesn't mean I'm any less talented than you."
She crossed her arms, tilting her head to the side slightly.
"You're just jealous because he chose me instead of you."
Svana scoffed and said.
"Oh so you are engaged with Dario, you two make a perfect example of 2 fools"
Nicci's eyes narrowed at Svana's comment, her smirk faltering for a moment before she quickly composed herself.
"You're just jealous because you can't find a man who wants to marry you." She retorted, her voice dripping with fake sweetness.
"Unlike you, I've found someone who actually wants to spend his life with me."
Svana laughed sarcastically and said.
"Please everyone know that I broke my engagement with Dario and you got engaged with him, but don't forget that your man is nothing, in front of my man because everyone knows that I'm engaged with Otello Russo Dario's uncle, the one who is in charge my one call and your career is finished before it even starts"
Nicci was taken aback by Svana's words, her haughty demeanor faltering for a moment.
She had known that Svana was engaged to Otello, but she didn't expect her to threaten her so bluntly.
She tried to hide her unease with a scoff, feigning nonchalance.
"You're bluffing. And don't act as if your relationship with Otello will last, we all know his reputation."
Svana was trying to control her laugh and said.
"Try me"
Nicci's eyes narrowed as she noticed Svana attempt to hold back a laugh. She was starting to feel a sense of annoyance and frustration at Svana's confidence.
"You're just trying to intimidate me," she said, attempting to sound nonchalant.
"But go on then, why don't you call Otello? Let's see what he has to say."
Svana took her phone and she dialed Otello's number.
Otello picked up the phone within the second ring.
"Hey, babe. Everything okay?" he asked, his deep voice rough and gravelly through the speaker.
Svana smiled softly and said.
"Yup darling, but there is one fool who doesn't know your power yet"
Otello chuckled softly on the other end of the line.
"Oh? And who might this fool be?" he asked curiously, his tone tinged with a subtle hint of amusement.
Nicci's confident smile faded, replaced by a look of nervousness. She didn't expect Otello to answer the phone so quickly, and even less did she expect to hear his voice.
She could hear his deep but calm voice through the phone and felt a shiver run down her spine.
She knew that Otello was a force to be reckoned with, and she began to realize that Svana wasn't just bluffing.
Svana looked at Nicci and smirked and said to Nicci.
"So should I ruin your career before it even starts"
Nicci's face dropped even more as she heard Svana's words, her eyes widening in panic.
She had underestimated Svana and her connection with Otello, and now she was beginning to realize just how much power she held.
But she couldn't let Svana see her fear. She tried to maintain her composure and said through gritted teeth.
"You wouldn't dare."
Svana gestured to her phone where Otello was still on the line and said.
"Try me"
Nicci clenched her jaw, her eyes darting to Svana's phone and then back to her face. She could hear Otello's voice faintly coming from the phone, and it only made her more anxious.
She knew you wasn't bluffing and that Otello was powerful enough to destroy her career in a heartbeat if he chose to, but she couldn't let herself be intimidated.
She tried to hold her ground and said with a hint of defiance in her voice.
"Fine, go ahead. Ruin my career."
Svana raised her eyebrows and said.
"Are you challenging me?"
Nicci swallowed hard, noticing the challenge in Svana's eyes. She knew that she was treading on dangerous ground, but her stubbornness refused to let her back down.
"Yes, I am." she responded, her voice wavering slightly despite her attempt to sound confident.
As Svana got back on the call and said.
"Darling the fool's name is Nicci Greco my stepsister, it's time to show your power"
Otello chuckled on the other end of the line, his tone dark and dangerous.
"Oh, Nicci Greco, huh? I've heard a lot about her." he said, his voice low and menacing.
Otello was no stranger to Nicci's reputation and he was quite aware of her arrogant attitude.
"You want me to show her my power, huh? You got it, babe."
Otello's tone was filled with a dark and vengeful tone as if he was looking forward to the opportunity to show Nicci who was in charge.
"I'll make sure she learns her lesson and realizes that she shouldn't mess with what's mine."
As he hung up the call, within one minute the director of the company came and said.
"I'm sorry but your license is cancelled as a model, because you anger Mr Russo"
Nicci's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as the director spoke. She couldn't believe that Otello had made a simple phone call and had her contract canceled in an instant.
Her face paled as the gravity of the situation set in.
She looked at Svana with a mixture of anger and helplessness, realizing that she was completely powerless against Otello's influence.
