Vladimir:
I watched as Eliana walked out of the room before following her. The fact that I’ve hurt her the way that I did broke me more than she could imagine, but she wouldn’t understand that right now as she had every right to be angry with me to begin with. I was just surprised by her reaction, plus the fact of Viktor being home made my mind swarm with a million thoughts of why this was wrong.
I found her sitting on the couch of the living room, her body curled in the blanket she had there as she scrolled through the channels for something to watch. I sat by her side making her raise an eyebrow before turning the TV off and turning to face me.
“I’m sorry, Eliana, I didn’t mean to hurt you” I said looking her in the eye. Her eyes studied my expression before she nodded not saying a word. She turned to face the TV and went to grab the remote once again, but I put my hand over hers, stopping her “’Liana…&rdq
Eliana:My eyes opened in a room, my vision blurred still blurry as I came back to my senses in a room which I didn’t recognize.It was a white room, and my right hand was cuffed to the bedside’s pole beside my head. However, I wouldn’t deny that the bed I was laying on was both comfortable and warm. A blanket was covering my body, reaching my chest.I tried sitting up, but my hand aching prevented me from doing so; therefore, I was forced to remain in my place, laying down as I looked around. My eyes caught sight of Vladimir who was sitting on a couch beside me, scrolling through his phone.“Vladimir?” It only took a second for me to realize that the man sitting by my side wasn’t my husband. His blue eyes meeting my brown ones earning a glare from me.“Sorry for cuffing you, but I figured that it would be safer to do so considering the fact that you could go on ahead trying to attack me the second you get
Vladimir:“Ah, dearest brother, just the call I was waiting for” my hand shook as I heard my brother’s voice on the line. Luka’s eyes met mine and I knew that had it not been him holding my arm keeping me steady once he realized the worried state that I was suddenly in.“Viktor, I swear to…”“There’s no need to start swearing, brother, your wife is safe, for now at least” Viktor mocked. I clenched my fists as I heard his voice “your wife is coming with me, brother, and you have two choices if you actually want her to stay alive”“You are dead, Viktor, I give you my fucking word…”“Now, now, you never let me finish my sentence” Viktor said stopping me. His voice was too annoying for me to listen to at the moment; but I knew that I no longer had another option if he had my wife hostage with him. Both Luka and I started walking toward the now almost
Eliana:I paced around the room that I was in as I waited for Viktor to come, my palm bleeding as I held a glass shard in it.Having changed into a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, I noticed that he brought most of my things from the airport. Everything was already fixed in my closet, and it didn’t take me long to find most of the outfits that Aurora, Audrey, and I bought before the honeymoon.I had to leave this place, and the one way to do it was run away, somehow.I knew that it would be filled with security, but he couldn’t just expect me to be as submissive and stay put while I watched him put my husband in a tough place.I heard the door’s knob twist and stood by the door, waiting for him to walk inside. He didn’t seem to notice me as he looked around the room before I pushed him against the door, holding the shard against his neck.“Really?” He asked as I made a small cut on his neck. It didn’t t
Vladimir:“Everything has been deleted, boss, and the location has been traced” Alexis said and I nodded. Luka crossed his arms and waited for my order but I simply nodded at him to follow me.“You two, I want your eyes to be on that location, any camera around, everything in twenty-mile radius is to be watched” I ordered and both Alexis and Daniro nodded before Luka and I walked out of the room.“Are you seriously planning on leaving her there? If she’s crazy, you can’t share the same idiotic mind” Luka asked and I shook my head. I knew that he was being rational about his question, he knew that I was going through a mental war right now, he could see it in my eyes. But my beauty was right, if Viktor believed that he was winning; then he would back away somehow, and if I tried taking any action that was against that; I might be risking my beauty’s safety, and that wasn’t something that I could think of
Eliana:“Can I know where you’re taking me?” I asked as Viktor put his hand on my lower back, guiding me through the long halls of whatever building we were in. I could swear that we were walking in some kind of palace, and no matter how many rooms we crossed, we would be passing through a hall to enter through another huge room. The interiors were different in every room making me think that we were going inside through different buildings.“You need to eat something, and I can’t trust you with utensils in your bedroom”“You can bring plastic ones if not”“You’ll still find a way to use them as a weapon” Viktor teased. I had to fight back laughing at his words before we walked inside one of the rooms. My eyes widened at its size, but I quickly recomposed myself. The smell of food hit my nostrils, I had to admit that it was both satisfying and disturbing as the urge to throw up grew stronge
Vladimir:“Dad, you and mom have been married for almost thirty years” I said looking at dad who raised an eyebrow at me “you know I suck at this, but you and I both know that you would be losing yourself without her”“Your wife is kidnapped, and here you are worried about my and your mom’s marriage?” dad asked “what are you playing at, Vladimir?”“She’s fine, for now at least, but I also need your help in something” I said making dad frown in confusion “first, we’ll discuss you and mom”“Vladimir…”“Dad, I can’t let the two of you lose one another after everything you’ve been through” I said looking him in the eye. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he listened to me, I knew that I tended to be harsh at times, and drove him crazy over the years. But the old man supported me with everything he could, and
Eliana:“So?” I asked Viktor who stayed quiet as he studied my expression. The man looked as if he was having a mental battle with himself, and for a second, I believed that he was.He opened his mouth to speak when the door was knocked breaking our conversation as the doctor walked inside with a paper in her hand. She handed him the paper before walking to me, her eyes remaining on the IV as she removed it from my hand, her expression gentle.“You need to be sure to watch out for your nutrition, and be sure to take the prescribed vitamins, other than that. You should be good” she explained. I nodded not saying a word, watching as she walked out again leaving Viktor and I alone in the room. His eyes studying my expression as he fought to find the proper words to explain what he wanted to say.“You do know that I don’t bite, Viktor” I said raising an eyebrow.“That can’t necessarily be true, as y
“Vladimir, you better not lay a finger on my daughter” Nina said walking inside the house where her daughter lived. Luka and I were sitting by the little girl, having bought her presents and sweets, the little child was satisfied; however, as assumed, her babysitter went and called Nina.“Mommy” the girl smiled and ran to her mother. The woman carried her daughter and hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek. The little girl, Riley, was the biggest weakness that Nina had, and taking that to my advantage, as I had assumed; it lured her here.“You will get out of here, Vladimir, the fight is between you and me, my daughter has nothing to do with this” Nina snarled. Riley looked at her mom with teary eyes, fearing her tone and I shook my head at her recklessness to the situation.“But mommy, the nice man bought me gifts” she said extending her hand to show her mom the toys. Nina kissed her daughter once more before putti
