Chapter 60: Peace at Last
Last Updated:
2024-04-10 12:02:45A 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.
Grigory trembled 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.

"Ah, I see you've met Aleksandr." Dmitry said, his voice cold and menacing. "Aleksandr, I think you should apologize to my woman for being so forward." Aleksandr's face turned red with anger, but he knew better than to challenge Dmitry. He muttered something under his breath and turned away, disappearing into the crowd. Dmitry took Abeni's hand and led her to the other side of the room, away from prying ears. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice gentle but firm. Abeni nodded, trying to steady her breath. "I'm sorry about that," Dmitry continued. "I shouldn't have left your side. It won't happen again." She looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. "It's okay," she said softly. "I understand." They stood there for a moment, just looking at each other, the tension between them palpable. Then, without warning, Dmitry leaned in and kissed her passionately. The kiss was long and deep, sending a wave of desire through Abeni's body. When they finally pulled apart,

They got dressed, and Dmitry drive them home. As they drove into the mansion gate, their eyes widened in disbelief. Half of the mansion was engulfed in flames, the fire dancing wildly against the night sky. The servants had already been evacuated, and the fire brigade was on its way. Dmitry's heart sank as he took in the devastation before him. This was no accident. Someone had targeted him, his home, and his people. He quickly instructed Abeni to go stay in the car, ensuring she was safe and out of harm's way, before rushing over to his men. "Boss!" several of Dmitry's men called out as he hurried over to them. They nodded in agreement when he glanced back at the burning mansion, their faces grim. "We need to get everyone to safety," he said, his voice calm despite the chaos around them. "Make sure everyone is accounted for and evacuate the area. The fire brigade should be here soon." The men nodded and sprang into action, organizing the evacuation pro

Over the next few days, they got accustomed to the new house, Dmitry was currently in the process of finding a new house but they weren't in any rush. They spent most of their time in each other's company. Dmitry had given her a driver and bodyguards, but she rarely used them, preferring to walk or ride in the car with him. Abeni and Dmitry were in bed, sleeping soundly when there was a soft knock on the door. Abeni stirred from her sleep, her eyes fluttering open. She glanced over at Dmitry, who was still sleeping soundly, and then looked around the room, trying to orient herself. The knock on the door sounded again, this time louder. She sat up in bed, her heart racing slightly, and then reached for the robe that was draped over the chair near the bed. As she slipped it on, she glanced at Dmitry, wondering if she should wake him. In the end, she decided not to; she would investigate the source of the knocking herself. As she walked through the spacious bedroom,

When Abeni emerged from the bathroom, she found Dmitry and the children already seated at the kitchen table. Breakfast was laid out: pancakes, bacon, and fresh fruit. The smell of coffee filled the air. She sat down and poured herself a cup of coffee, savoring the rich aroma and warmth as it spread through her body. "This smells amazing," she said, taking a bite of her pancake. "You really are a natural at this, Dmitry." she said as she gave him a kiss on his cheek. As they ate, the children chattered away about their favorite books and toys, and Dmitry and Abeni shared stories about their own childhoods. The time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already mid-morning. "So, what do you two want to do today?" Abeni asked, glancing at the clock. "We could go to the park, or maybe visit the zoo?" The children's eyes lit up at the mention of the zoo, and they began to debate which animals they wanted to see most. Dmitry smiled at Abeni, gratef

A few days passed since Emily and David had come to stay with them. They were all in the living room watching tv, when there was a knock on the door. The staff quickly went to open the door and in walked a tall, well-dressed man with an air of authority about him and Eve, Dmitry's cousin. They walked into the living room. "Daddy!" shouted Emily as she ran towards the tall man. "Mommy!" David echoed, following his sister's lead. The man, presumably Emily and David's father, knelt down and scooped them up into his arms, his face beaming with joy. Eve, Dmitry's cousin, watched the reunion with a smile. She had come to collect her children, now that their mother had been well enough to take care of them again. "Thank you so much for you help!" Eve gushed, her voice filled with emotion. "We could never have made it through this without you." Dmitry smiled warmly, shrugging off her gratitude. "It was our pleasure," he assured her. "The kids had a great time, and we enjoyed

Afterward, they lay together, tangled in the sheets, their hearts still racing from their lovemaking. Abeni traced the lines of Dmitry's tattoo with her fingertip, admiring the intricate design that adorned his chest. He seemed to relax under her touch, his eyes drifting shut as he let out a contented sigh."So," he said, propping himself up on an elbow to look down at her, "we should go on vacation together." The idea seemed to take her by surprise, and she blinked up at him with a mixture of curiosity and delight. "Where did you have in mind?" she asked, her heart already beginning to race at the thought of escaping their everyday lives for a while.Dmitry smiled, running a hand through his hair. "I've always wanted to go to Spain. Barcelona, specifically. There's this old neighborhood there, called El Raval, that's supposed to be amazing. Full of art, music, and great food. Plus, the beaches are supposed to be incredible." He paused, looking at her expectantly. "Wha

The next morning, they awoke to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. After a leisurely breakfast in their room, they set out to explore more of Barcelona. They visited the Sagrada Familia, awe-struck by the intricate detail and beauty of the cathedral. They also spent a day at the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying each other's company. In the evening, they dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant, where they sampled some of the finest Catalan cuisine. The food was exquisite, and the ambiance was perfect for their romantic interlude. The third day of their trip was spent touring the Gothic Quarter, marveling at the ancient architecture and rich history of the city. They also visited Park Güell, where they strolled through the whimsical gardens and admired the colourful mosaics designed by Antoni Gaudí.

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
