Chapter 46: A Cold Warning

2024-04-01 12:04:06The next day, Abeni and Ada were strolling through the outdoor shopping district, bags of fresh produce and spices in hand. "So," Abeni began with a grin, "Dmitry was talking about paying for your university tuition."
Ada looked at her sister with a mixture of surprise and excitement. "Really?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "He would actually do that for me?"
Abeni nodded, her expression solemn. "He said that you just beat cancer, and he wanted to help you get your life back on track. He seemed really sincere about it."
"Thank you, Abeni," Ada said, her eyes shining with tears. "I can't believe he'd do that for me. It's...it's so generous." She paused, wiping a tear from her cheek. "You know...dad called me...a few weeks ago. A day after I beat cancer...and he just...he just...said that he's changed. He's going to try to be there for me now. I'm not sure what that means, but..." Her voice trailed off, and she looked at her sister with hop

In the days following their initial meeting, Abeni's father seemed to be making a sincere effort to reconnect. He called frequently, stopped by unannounced for visits, and constantly checked in to see how she and Ada were doing. "I'm just so grateful to have another chance with you girls," he told them over coffee one afternoon, tears in his eyes. "I missed out on so much already." Abeni squeezed his hand, feeling hopeful that perhaps he really had turned over a new leaf. But then, barely a week later, Abeni's phone rang with her father's number flashing across the screen. Frowning slightly, she answered. "Hi Dad, is everything okay?" There was an uncomfortable pause before he responded, his voice tense. "Abeni...I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but I need some money. Just a short-term loan to get me out of a bad spot." Abeni felt her heart sink. She knew her father had a gambling problem, but she'd hoped that he'd been able to get help. "Wh

Later that night, Abeni was lying in bed next to Dmitry, unable to sleep. She kept replaying the phone call with her father over and over in her mind. Finally, she sighed and rolled onto her side to face Dmitry. "Dmitry? Are you still awake?" she whispered. "Mmm, yes," he murmured, shifting to look at her. "What's wrong, my love?" Abeni hesitated for a moment before speaking. "It's my father. He...he called me earlier today asking for money." Dmitry frowned. "Money? For what?" "He didn't really say," Abeni admitted. "Just that he needed a loan to 'get out of a bad spot.' But Dmitry, it's only been a few days since we've let him back into our lives. Isn't it too soon for him to be asking for money?" Dmitry stroked her hair gently. "You're right, that does seem rather quick. What did you tell him?" "I said I couldn't just hand over money without an explanation of what it was for," Abeni replied. "And he got upset and hung up on m

The next morning, Abeni woke with a pounding headache and a mouth that tasted like an ashtray. As she went to roll over, she realized Dmitry was lying next to her, still sound asleep. Abeni felt a flush of embarrassment wash over her as flashes of the previous night came back to her - the bar, her emotional outburst, trying to drunkenly seduce him... She let out a soft sigh and carefully eased herself out of bed, trying not to wake him. But Dmitry must have sensed her movement, as he started to stir. His eyes opened slowly, heavy with fatigue. He blinked a few times before focusing on her with a sleepy smile. "Morning, my love," he mumbled, his voice rough from sleep. "How are you feeling?" "Embarrassed," Abeni admitted, averting her gaze. "And...grateful to you for taking care of me last night. Thank you." Reaching out, Dmitry tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "It was nothing. You're my woman - I'll always take care of you, no matter what

The look on Sergei's face told Dmitry he understood exactly what was happening. With a solemn nod, he set off to rally the rest of the forces. Within the hour, two sleek black vehicles were headed across town toward the dilapidated distillery that served as the Morozov's base of operations. Dmitry sat in the back of the car, his bodyguard Sergei driving, their expressions grim. The air was thick with tension, and each man knew that the confrontation that lay ahead would be unlike any they had faced before. The Morozovs were ruthless and cunning, and underestimating them would be a fatal mistake. When they finally arrived, Dmitry took a deep breath, hoping to steady his nerves. The distillery loomed before them, an imposing structure that had been in the Morozov family for generations. It was an unassuming building, easily overlooked among the other industrial warehouses in the area. But appearances could be deceiving. The distillery was more than just a place where c

They sped through the city streets, the tension in the air palpable. Dmitry could feel Pavel's eyes boring into the side of his head, his breath hot against his ear. He didn't trust the man for a second, but he knew he had to find out what he knew. The driver navigated through a series of twisting back alleys until they arrived at a nondescript building in a run-down part of town. Once inside, they dragged Pavel up to the third floor and down a long, dimly lit hallway. They threw him into a cramped, windowless room with nothing but a rickety wooden chair and a table in the centre. "Sit," Dmitry ordered, gesturing to the chair. Pavel did as he was told, his hands still bound tightly behind his back. Dmitry and his men left the room, closing the door behind them. They stationed themselves outside, waiting for any sign of trouble. It didn't take long for Dmitry to hear muffled sobbing coming from the other side of the door. He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms

Meanwhile, in a dank basement across town, Abeni jerked awake at the sound of a door creaking open. Her heart stuttered in her chest as a tall, bulky figure stepped into the low light, a familiar silhouette that made her blood run cold. "D-Dad?" she rasped out through her gag. "Is that you?" Mr. Oni stepped closer, his eyes glittering with a mixture of satisfaction and regret. "Hello, Abeni. I'm so sorry it had to come to this." Abeni's eyes widened in a mixture of fear and confusion. What was her father talking about? Why had he taken her? "You see, your fancy man Dmitry and I have some...unfinished business to settle," Mr. Oni continued, almost casually. "I figured the best way to get his attention would be by taking his precious girlfriend hostage." Tears sprang to Abeni's eyes as the weight of her father's words hit her. He had betrayed her, used her to get to Dmitry for some twisted revenge scheme. The man she had longed to reconnect with

The sound of his cellphone ringing startled him out of his dark reverie. He quickly fished it out, his heart leaping at the sight of an unknown caller ID. "Hello?" he barked out. "Dmitry..." The beloved sound of Abeni's tremulous voice made his knees nearly give out in relief. "Dmitry, it's me!" "Abeni! Oh thank god, where are you? Are you hurt?" The questions poured out in a torrent as tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. There was a slight pause before she replied. "I-I'm okay, I think. I've been moved around so much, I'm not even sure where I am anymore. But Dmitry...your father, and mine...they're working together on this. With the Morozovs." "I know, my love," Dmitry said, his voice strained. "I figured as much, the miserable snakes. But we'll get you away from them, I promise." "Be careful," Abeni warned. "They're dangerous. Unhinged. I...I never imagined my own father was capable of something like this." Dmitry coul

Abeni was in her kitchen, when her water broke. She knew it was time."Dmitry!" she screamed, her voice shaking with fear and excitement. "Dmitry, I'm having the baby!"Then a bunch of Dmitry's men rushed into the kitchen."Go and get Dmitry! Now!" Abeni ordered, as they all hurried off. She knew Dmitry would want to be there for the birth of their child. As she waited for Dmitry, her contractions growing stronger with each passing moment. The pain was intense, but she felt a sense of power and determination coursing through her. She was going to give birth to their child, and she was going to do it with Dmitry by her side. Then Dmitry ran into the kitchen, his face a mask of concern and love. He quickly took Abeni into his arms, his strong hands tenderly caressing her swollen belly. "Lets go to the hospital now," Dmitry said urgently, his gaze locked on Abeni's face. He scooped her up in his arms, cradling her like a precious treasure. A

The next morning, Abeni awoke to the warmth of the sun streaming through the window and the sound of birds chirping outside. Beside her, Dmitry lay sleeping peacefully, his chest rising and falling with each breath. She smiled, running her fingers through his dark hair, feeling a renewed sense of contentment and love. After gently rousing him from his slumber, they spent the morning preparing for their small, intimate baby shower. They had decided to keep it simple, with just their closest friends and family members in attendance. As they decorated the living room with balloons and streamers, they couldn't help but reminisce about their own childhoods and what they hoped for their baby's future. "I have a gift for you," Abeni said, handing Dmitry a small box wrapped in silver paper. He looked at her with curiosity, wondering what she could have gotten him. As he carefully unwrapped the present, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw a beautiful silver necklace with

A week had passed and Abeni was enjoying her newlywed life as Mrs. Abeni Kuznetsov. Dmitry was the most attentive and caring man she had ever known, but there was also an underlying edge to him, a dominance that made her heart race and her body ache for him.One evening, as they were sharing dinner there was a knock on the front door. The staff quickly went to open the door and in rushed Elena, Naledi, Camillie, Abeni's mother and sister and Dmitry's mother and sister. "Hello guys!" said Abeni, her voice full of surprise and joy. "I wasn't expecting you all here so soon!" But they all looked at Abeni and Dmitry, like they had seen a ghost."Is anything the matter?" asked Dmitry, sensing the tension in the air. "Your pregnant!" shouted Abeni's mother and sister in unison.Everyone stood there looking at Dmitry and Abeni expecting an answer."Surprise" said Abeni awkwardly. Dmitry on the other hand looked pleased and proud.

Over the next few days, Dmitry called everyone to explain that the wedding would be moved to a closer date. He used the excuse of wanting to be united with his new Abeni quicker. The news spread like wildfire throughout the criminal underworld, and everyone was buzzing with anticipation. Even those who didn't particularly care for Abeni found themselves interested in the union between her and Dmitry. As the wedding date drew near, Dmitry became more possessive and protective of Abeni now that he found out she was carrying his child. He showered her with gifts and made sure that she was constantly surrounded by his bodyguards, even when they were at home. Abeni, despite her initial reluctance, found herself enjoying the attention that Dmitry was giving to her. The night before the wedding, Dmitry couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and pride. He had never been more certain of anything in his life than he was of his love for Abeni and the future they would s

Abeni left the bathroom, she needed a way to leave the house before Dmitry arrived, she didn't want to tell him just in case it really wasn't pregnancy. She made her way downstairs, and just as she was about to leave the house, there stood Dmitry. "Abeni?" Dmitry's voice was deep and commanding, causing her to stop in her tracks. She turned slowly, her heart racing as she met his gaze. His dark eyes seemed to consume her, making it impossible to look away. "Are you going somewhere? I thought we were going to have dinner together." He took a step forward, closing the distance between them. "I need to go to buy tampons..." she lied, knowing it was a terrible excuse. "You could have asked one of my men to go buy it for you, you know." He explained. "But I wanted to go myself." She looked down, feeling guilty for lying to him. "It's just that I'm having a little... crisis of confidence right now, and I thought some fresh air would help." Her voice tra
Dance with the Devil Chapter 75: Wedding Fever
A few days had passed and Abeni had called everyone in her life to announce her engagement. Abeni was in the bedroom reading a wedding magazine, when she felt sick to her stomach.She ran to the bathroom, barely making it in time, and vomited violently.After she finished, she felt weak and dizzy, like she had been drugged."It must be a stomach bug," she thought to herself, crawling back into bed.But as the days went by, she started to notice other symptoms: intense headaches, chills, and fatigue. She tried to ignore them at first, but they only got worse. Finally, she decided to go see a doctor. When she arrived at the doctor's office, she was greeted by Grace her friend and the nurse."Hey Abeni!" she said, "I heard about your engagement. Congratulations!""Yeah, thanks," Abeni replied, still feeling a little queasy.Grace led her back to an examination room where they took her vitals.After a few moments, t

The car crunched softly on the gravel driveway as Dmitry parked with practiced silence. Abeni yawned and stretched, the sun streaming through the tinted window, warming her face. "Ready to face the concequences of out actions?" Dmitry asked with a playful smirk. Abeni swatted him playfully. "Just act natural, alright? No big displays of affection." They crept out of the car, tiptoeing towards the back door. Abeni peeked through the kitchen window, her heart sinking. Both Fisayo and Olga sat at the table, an empty chessboard in the center. "Shit," Dmitry muttered under his breath. "I was hoping they'd be out for a walk or something." He took a deep breath and squared his shoulders before they stepped inside. As they entered the kitchen, Fisayo looked up from her phone, her eyebrows raised in question. "Abeni? Dmitry?" Fisayo boomed, her voice laced with disbelief. "Where in the world have you two been?" Abeni sheepishly offered a

The doorbell rang and Abeni's heart skipped a beat. Today was the day her mother, Fisayo, and Dmitry's mother, Olga, were arriving for their long-awaited visit. Abeni had spent the past week transforming their spare room into a cozy guest suite, complete with a plush bed, soft linens, and thoughtful touches that would make their stay special. "Mom!" Abeni exclaimed, racing to the door and flinging it open. Her mother, Fisayo, stood there, a broad smile on her face as she took in the sight of her daughter. Abeni wrapped her arms around her mother and hugged her tightly, breathing in the familiar scent of her perfume. "It's so good to see you!" Olga chuckled softly. "Fisayo, you'll make the girl faint." As they entered the mansion, the air crackled with a nervous energy. Abeni busied herself ushering them in, stealing glances at Dmitry who stood by the window, a hint of unease etched on his face. "Dmitry!" Olga called out, and Abeni's gaze met his once more. He

The Aegean Sea stretched out before them. Abeni leaned against the railing, her afro catching the warm Mediterranean breeze, as she gazed out over the water. "This place is incredible," she breathed. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before." Dmitry stood beside her, his broad shoulders blocking the sun as he surveyed the same vista with a satisfied smile. "I'm glad we could take some time to enjoy it," he said. Their business trip had brought them to Greece, a country renowned for its stunning beauty and rich history. As the CEO of Kuznetsov empire, Dmitry had been busy meeting with potential clients and overseeing operations, but he had never forgotten to make time for Abeni. Their days were spent exploring hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and basking on black sand beaches. Evenings were filled with candlelit dinners overlooking the caldera, the fiery hues of the sunset painting the sky in a breathtaking spectacle. One starlit night, th
