Chapter 53: In the Clutches of Evil
Last Updated:
2024-04-08 12:00:38Meanwhile, 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

Dmitry's hands shook as he read over the anonymous message again, his mind racing with possibilities. An unknown source had provided potential coordinates of where Abeni might be held - deep in the abandoned trainyard on the outskirts of the city. It was a long shot...but at this point, he was desperate enough to try anything. "Sir, are you sure about this?" Sergei asked hesitantly as the team geared up. "For all we know, it could be a trap set by the Morozovs." Dmitry clenched his jaw, shoving the note into his pocket. "I don't have a choice, my friend. This is the first real lead we've gotten on Abeni's whereabouts. I have to follow it." He turned to address the rest of his men assembled in the warehouse they were using as a makeshift base. "Listen up! We have a possible location on where Abeni is being held. Abandoned trainyard on the west side - sector 12B. It's likely heavily guarded, so I need you all ready to breach and clear on my signal." A c

The creak of a door opening made her freeze, heart pounding in her throat. Heavy, booted footsteps approached and Abeni braced herself as a hulking figure emerged from the shadows. "Well, if it isn't our little hostage," a snarling voice accompanied the man. "Did you sleep well?" Abeni glared defiantly up at him, refusing to show her fear. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" The man laughed, a cruel and jarring sound. "So many questions. But don't worry that pretty little head of yours, darling. Soon it won't matter what I want." He leaned in close until Abeni could smell the sour reek of stale alcohol on his breath. A callused hand snaked out to grip her jaw in a crushing hold. "You just need to sit tight and keep that mouth of yours shut," he growled. "Your boyfriend is going to come for you eventually. And when he does..." His lips twisted in an unsettling grin. "Well, let's just say you're the bait we've been waiting for all along."

Back at the safe house, an uneasy silence had fallen over the assembled group as they scrutinized the evidence board. Olga stood with her arms crossed, a pensive frown creasing her brow. "Something still isn't adding up," she mused aloud. "Even with this location as a potential target, we're grasping at straws without more solid intel on who's keeping Abeni and why." Dmitry's jaw tightened, but before he could respond a sharp rap at the door made everyone tense. Sergei immediately raised his rifle as Dmitry gestured for the others to stay back, inching closer to the entrance. "Who is it?" he called out gruffly. "It's Boris, sir," came the muffled reply through the door. "I have something you'll want to see." Exchanging a wary glance with Sergei, Dmitry cracked open the door just wide enough for Boris to slip through before immediately slamming it shut again, securing the locks. The burly man stood before them, clutching a padded manila envelop

"Sergei," Dmitry said lowly, resting a hand on his friend's shoulder. "You know what to do if this all goes sideways, yes?" The other man held his gaze steadily. "Take care of your family. Always." Dmitry squeezed his shoulder firmly before turning to bark out orders. "Move it out! We breach on my signal!" As the takedown squads fanned out, Dmitry and Boris took up position behind a rusting cargo container, peering through the scope at the depot entrance. He could make out the silhouettes of armed guards patrolling the perimeter fences as trucks rumbled in and out. Tensing his jaw, Dmitry gripped his rifle tightly and gave a short, sharp nod to Boris. The big man lifted a stubby RPG launcher and took aim at the main gate's guardhouse. A muffled thud sounded - then the guardhouse erupted in a blossom of flame and shrapnel as Alexei's charges detonated in perfect unison with the rocket. "Go, go, go!" Dmitry shouted into his comms as chaos reigne

Just then, a blur of movement in his peripheral vision made his head whip around. One of the upper level windows shattered as a lithe figure came hurtling through, twin blades flashing in each hand. A gun barked - once, twice - and the two Morozov grunts flanking Grigory crumpled to the ground like rag dolls as the mysterious woman landed in a crouch. Grigory stumbled back, shoving Abeni aside as he raised his revolver. But the woman was impossibly fast, a mere shadow as she spun and lashed out with blinding speed. One dagger flew from her grasp to bury itself in Grigory's gun hand, causing him to bellow in rage and agony. The other flashed in a deadly arc, slicing across the tendons of his wrist and sending the revolver clattering uselessly to the ground. In the blink of an eye, she scooped up the discarded weapon and leveled it squarely at the older man's forehead, her full lips curled in a predatory smile. "I don't think so, Kuznetsov," she

A deafening silence fell over the depot as the last echo of Sergei's rifle shot faded. Dmitry tensed, his entire body coiled like a spring ready to strike at the slightest provocation. Grigory's revolver wavered, his rheumy eyes drifting towards the direction of the warehouse almost unwillingly. The woman beside him arched one elegant brow but made no move to stop the older man. Another shot rang out, this one unmistakably closer than before. Shouts and the metallic clatter of dropped weapons filtered through the hazy air. Grigorytrembled visibly, a muscle twitching erratically in his weathered jaw. Slowly, almost grudgingly, his gun arm began to drop until the barrel pointed harmlessly towards the cracked floor. "You..." he rasped out in a voice little more than gravel. "You've won, haven't you boy?" Relief crashed over Dmitry like a physical force, but he refused to show any outward reaction save for the barest dip of his chin. "It wou

Months had passed and Abeni was in the living room, watching tv, when Dmitry came downstairs."Good afternoon my love," he said, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine. "I hope you're feeling well rested." She looked up at him, her heart racing. He was dressed in a dark suit, his hair slicked back, making his ice-blue eyes stand out even more. "Yes, I am," she replied, her voice trembling slightly. "Why are you dressed up?" she asked standing up to get a better look at him. Dmitry took a step closer, his presence overwhelming her senses. "I have a business party tonight," he said, his fingers running through his hair. "And I thought it would be better if you accompanied me as my date." Abeni bit her lip, unsure how to react. This was the first time he had invited her to anything like this. "Really?" she asked, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "Yes, really," he said with a reassuring smile. "I think you'll enjoy it.

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

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
