Veronica's pov
"Doctor Veronica sidorov?..."
I placed my coffee mug down and looked at my subordinate.
"Ward no 16"
Dr. Matthew rolled his eyes.
I sighed.
"Don't worry, Doctor... I'll handle it for you but I need to attend my patients in fifteen minutes..."
Doctor Matthew has just joined our hospital after working in America and the first patient he got is some important personality from the Russia.
I feel bad for Doctor Matthew that he couldn't earn the trust of the patient and now I have to attend his patient because per their opinion, I am the most experienced doctor in this hospital. Note the sarcasm!
And let me tell you it's not fun at all.
"Thanks... Don't worry I'll attend your patients..."
He said, disappointment flashing on his face.
He is an excellent doctor and I understand that this treatment must have scratched his ego.
"Thanks!"
I cut the conversation short and head towards the ward no 16.
Number 16 never felt so unique before.
I don't know why but my heart picked up the race when ward came to my view.
This patient is the most difficult and mysterious patient of my life.
Vladimir Volkov!
Last month his bodyguards brought him here battered in his own blood, he was critical. It was a major car accident. Our team successfully treated him with extra care because of course he is a VIP patient. He has literally tricked the death.
Later I came to know that he is one of the richest businessman in Russia and that explains his tantrums. His bodyguards are always around, looking and checking everyone suspiciously, Even medicines and it's so irritating.
He demanded the best doctor in the hospital and they made me a scapegoat, The hospital authorities had strictly ordered his priority . This man has very short temper and almost all nurses has cried while treating him. And the results are, no one is ready to enter this ward except me.
He hasn't said anything to me yet, he stays quiet when I am treating him but that doesn't mean I am not nervous around him. He has something in him which makes me feel conscious around him.
I took a deep breath and entered the ward. My heart skipped a beat when he looked up at me with his egle eyes. I never imagined that grey can be this terrifying, yet here I am, afraid to look into eyes of my patient. I quickly looked away from his icy eyes.
I placed my stethoscope on the counter.
"Good evening, Mr. Volkov"
No answer from him but I could feel his gaze on my back. He always does this. It feels like he is the one who is examining me.
His eyes does something to me. It feels like I am tied down. Whenever his skin touches me, my body sets on fire. His every move....
God! Stop it.
I checked his x-rays and turned towards him.
His injuries has almost healed. Today I'll remove the cast from his wrist and then it's done. He is free to go home. And I am free to prioritise my patients, because of his weird behavior people think we are doing something.
I tried to control my hammering heart which is uncontrollable due to his eyes on me. Even if he is injured, his raven black hair is styled neatly, perfect sharp jaw, light stubble and pointed nose.
I have never seen a handsome man like him. He is like an artist's favourite sculpture to which he gives extra attention.
"You have shown a great recovery, Mr. Volkov.."
Despite of the storm inside me I managed to deliver it confidently. Still no answer.
I wonder why he doesn't yell at me like he does with other staff.
"We will check the stitches we removed yesterday and then I'll remove your cast, your fracture has healed..."
He looked at his bodyguard who was standing by the door and he left.
I don't know why he wants us alone whenever I am treating him.
I gulped and went closer to him. He sat up straight and bed moved with his weight.
"We will remove your shirt first..."
I mumbled.
Voice Vera! Keep it confident.
He sat on the edge of the bed and I stood in front of him.
I opened the buttons of his shirt and revealed his broad chest. He is build like a mountain. Every part of his body is like a carved one.
I slide his shirt down from his shoulders and stilled when his nose touched my belly.
This is not new, since I have started attending him, physical contacts like this are happening very often.
I am not surprised, I have experienced this before. Sometimes by accident or sometimes due to perverted patients and I have always ignored it.
But this time the problem is, his touch draws reaction from my body. My body likes his touch and it's wrong. Terribly wrong!
I stepped back and squeezed the water out of the sponge to clean his body. Nurses are not ready to attend this hot headed man so I have to do everything. I can't ignore it because we have clear orders from the management that we should 'satisfy' his every condition. I don't know what this 'satisfy' exactly means.
I wonder how much power he holds to mend and bent the rule of this hospital.
As he always does, he laid back in the middle of the bed and I can't reach to him from the side of the bed. Does he do it on purpose? he knows that I can't reach him like this without sitting on the bed.
I can argue with him but I don't want to create drama and of course I don't want to get fired.
I sat on the bed, close beside him so I could clean his chest.
I kept my eyes on his chest as I wiped it with sponge avoiding his eyes on me.
He knows that I can sense him looking at me. What's his problem?
I almost gasped when he grabbed my wrist with his large hand and placed my hand on his neck.
"It's needed here"
He said in his thick Russian accent and Thank God! he doesn't talk often otherwise it would have been another problem for me.
I cleaned his neck the way he wanted and checked his wounds.
"Good!... There is no infection"
I looked at him and his eyes held me captive once again.
He slowly leaned towards me and I did the opposite.
"You didn't come last night!"
He said with the hint of irritation in his voice as his eyes landed on my wedding ring.
Yes! I am married!
I stood up from the bed and started preparing to remove his cast.
"I had important surgery to perform..."
I answered.
"Doctor Matthew is a good doctor... You shouldn't___"
"Good, not excellent"
He replied in a harsh tone while leaning back to the bedpost.
I started removing his cast.
"What made you think that I am excellent?"
I asked keeping my eyes on the task.
"I don't need to answer you"
He replied.
"You should because I am attending you since last month... And this is not my job..."
I looked into his eyes, challengingly.
I finally freed his hand from the cast and loud gasp escaped my mouth when his hand snaked around my waist and he flipped me on the bed beneath him.
My heart almost jumped out of my chest. He is on top of me without shirt. If someone catches us like this then I will loose my job.
"Mr. Volkov this is____"
"Shhh___"
His fingers traced my lips.
"I don't care if this is your job or not... I wanted you and I got you here."
My breath stuck in my throat when his lips stopped few inches away from mine. His hand is on my waist which is sending shivers in my body.
He smirked noticing the reaction of my body.
"I take what I want, at any condition!..."
His knuckles travelled from my cheek to my neck and my desperate pussy started throbbing in need.
I don't understand what drew strong reaction like this from my body. The thing that he is incredibly handsome or the fact that no man has touched me since last two years.
Right! My husband hasn't touched me since two years.
"Mr. Volkov... This is very inappropriate behavior"
I breathed out.
"This is a professional place and I am a married woman..."
His eyes found my Ring again and his jaw clenched.
"I don't like to beat around the bush, Doc... I know that you know what's going on in my mind..."
"We don't read mind here"
I replied.
He smirked.
"I want you..."
"Correction, Mr. Volkov..."
I glared at him.
"You want my body!"
His smirk widened.
"You are smart... I love it..."
"It's not possible"
I pushed on his chest and he sat up without any protest. I quickly sat up in a sitting position while fixing my scrub.
"I am married and___"
Before I complete he grabbed the back of my neck and brushed his lips against mine.
I swear I felt thunders passing in my body with that small touch.
"There is no rush... Think about it..."
He whispered as his hand travelled from my neck to the valley of my breasts and finally broke the skin contact.
I grabbed the opportunity and rushed out of the bed and didn't stop until I was 10 feet away from the ward.
Veronica's pov"Doctor Veronica?"I gasped and quickly turned around, I thought he is behind me. "What happened? You look... Umm... Mess!"Head nurse, Mrs. Larson said looking at me confused. She is old and will retire this year, she has worked here almost for thirty years. I fixed my hair while giving her small smile. "Nothing, it's just too much work..."She hummed like she sensed the lie. her head turned towards the ward from where I have escaped few minutes ago."I am so sorry that you have to take other doctor's responsibility too... You are already working really hard..."She patted my back."It's late... Let's have a cup of coffee together..."Yes! I need it now. I looked back towards the ward and my heart picked up the race again.Is that what he was thinking all this time? I am not that beautiful, that he wants me. I am sure with that kind of money, he can get any woman. Why does he want me?'Think about it'His words rang in my head again like he was compelling me. God
Veronica's pov"Zen"I smiled bitterly at him. He doesn't care about about me, not even a bit.His expressions turned cold."I assume you have heard everything...""I did... Congratulations!"I gulped down my tears. No way in hell, I am going to show him that he affects me. "I didn't know you wanted a child..."He sighed."I don't want to see your emotional drama..."Sharp pain tucked in my heart."I love Mila and she is carrying my child... She will stay with us from now on..."I forced a smile."I don't care, Zen... Your life, your house... Do whatever you want..."I will not show him my weakness and pain. He don't deserve it. He never deserved it. He will not see my tears. "See, I told you..."He looked at mila."She doesn't care...""I want to go home, Zen... If you are busy, I'll take the cab..."I said, I am in no mood to see their romance."Come with us..."I frowned at mila's fake sweet smile."I mean it's too late, it's not safe outside... We are going home anyway, isn't i
Author's povVeronica turned around when Vladimir locked the door of his penthouse, it was the nearest place for him to take her."The washroom is there, if you want to use..."He tilted his head towards the door in the corner.Veronica nodded and went to the washroom, she splashed the water on her face. The car ride was short but was tainted with kisses and sinful touches. Her body was craving for his touch, getting touched after two years has pushed her limits. She clenched her thighs together and felt the wetness between her thighs. She wasn't thinking about her marriage life or the man she used to love. She left everything behind. She walked out and found him standing by the glass wall, looking at the city. One hand in pocket and another one holding the glass of alcohol. He was looking like the king who looks at his realm. Her eyes traveled on his back, he has abandoned his coat. His veins are clearly visible from his folded sleeves. And the way his body flexes makes her devo
Veronica's povTo be honest I never liked the sweet pain so much, it was worth. Pushing and crossing my limits was rewarding.I don't remember having mind-blowing sex like this. He is too good in bed and not to mention that he also cleaned me after we were done. Zen never did this.I blinked my lazy eyes open, it's morning. I didn't even realise it. I have got only two hours sleep after he was done with me. Not like I am complaining. I don't want to get up from this warm bed, silk bedsheets are caressing my body. And I am too tired to move my body but I have to go. This is not my place and I can't stay here. I looked beside me but found the spot empty. I thought he left but he was standing against the glass wall where he was standing last night. 'I like Darkness'I wonder what he meant by that.My eyes wandered on his bare back, he is wearing only pants and standing like a boss while keeping his hands in his pockets. My body is too much attracted towards him than it should be. I s
Author's POVVeronica looked at the mirror and fixed her long satin silver gown which has deep neck and it's designed like it will push up her breasts and will give her very sexy look. Long slit which was displaying her tempting long leg and she was wearing thigh chain which was adding stars to her sexy look.She has curled her long hair and finished her look with high heels. She was looking hot in that dress and nude makeup. Veronica usually don't take efforts to look this good but today she wants to flaunt her beautiful body and confidence to show people that she is more than a nerd doctor. She feels that she was ignoring herself all these years to fake good wife and with all stress. She wants to leave carefree now. Of course she was hoping for her relationship recovery but she changed her mind when she saw Mila with Zen. She realized that this man can't change and she doesn't want to waste her life on him, neither she wants to ruin her self respect.She has decided that no man de
Author's POV"Behave yourself... Guests are here..."Zen whispered to her.Veronica looked at Zen confused, thinking why he is not surprised by his presence.Vladimir stopped in front of her with smirk but he was mesmerised by her beauty. She was glowing. Her sexy curls, beautiful makeup, her cleavage, his eyes captured her sexy form and stopped on her thigh chain. Wild thoughts ran in his mind. How he would love to fuck her with that sparkling thing on, the she way shifted under his gaze was amusing for him. He could feel himself turning hard but it wasn't the right time for it. "Congratulations!"He forcefully dragged his eyes towards Zen, the person he hates.Zen was flying high by Vladimir's presence in his party. He knows how Powerful he is and how his reputation is going to take a flight after the news that The Vladimir Volkov was in his party. "Thank you so much, Sir... I am so glad that you came. Such an honor..."Zen grinned like an idiot. "Meet my wife Veronica but I ass
Author's POV"Please drive faster!"Veronica panicked. She was trembling. She knew that Zen didn't love her but she never thought that he would sell her for money. On other hand she has no idea why Vladimir wants her. What's his motive and that man literally purchased her from her husband.She is aware that her this stunt will put her in problem, it will risk Ryan's life as he is still under Zen's custody but she have to save herself before she saves him. She is totally unaware of their intentions. She has no idea where she is going but she have to run before they catch her. Her stomach churned when her phone rang and she saw Zen's name on the screen.She looked behind and her eyes widened when she saw line of black cars behind them. "Please hurry up..."She almost cried.Driver frowned at her."Who are you, woman?... What did you do?..."He asked suspiciously."Jesus! Are they following you?... Did you steal something from them?""No! Just keep driving please... Otherwise they w
Author's POVEveryone was alert, all hands were few inches away from guns under the table. Guards were standing by the walls in small meeting room. "Your claim is the weakest here..."The king, Igor said who is in his late sixties. For some reason he hates Vladimir and doesn't want him to succeed his throne.Vladimir looked at him calmly not reflecting any emotions. "He is the oldest among them"Dimitrov, Vladimir's father who is also kings stepbrother defended his son's claim. "And illegitimate too"King said."Will those families on high table accept him?... They want pure blood."Dimitrov clenched his jaw angrily."You were illegitimate too...""You know what I had to do to get it..."King spat."Unfortunately... Our king has only one daughter and she is married to me so according to the law I am rightful heir to the throne."Sentos, The husband of king's daughter said. "As his daughter, I claim the throne."Liliana, King's daughter said. "I am the Rightful heir to the thro
Author's POV"Vlad, I am ready! "Vera walked out of the closest and he looked at her while sliding his phone in pocket."Wow! "He looked at her up and down in an awe.Vera looked away blushing. "You are looking like a goddess..."Vera was wearing Indian lehanga. mix of white and red colour was going perfectly with her complexion. "Which one?.. There are many goddess in Indian culture."Bella teased. "Well, she is almost ready but there is one thing pending..."She handed him anklets. "It's a ritual, husband need to tie it around wife's ankels...""Thanks, I'll take it from here..."Vlad showed her the door and she scowled at him. "Asshole! "She rolled her eyes and walked out. "I'll take it as a compliment!"Vlad chuckled behind her. "Why are you so mean to her? "Vera slapped his chest. "She is not an innocent doll..."He snaked his hand around her waist, Vera blushed when he felt warm against her bare skin. Her waist wasn't covered due to the gap in her lehanga and blouse.
Vladimir's POVThings men do for love! I never thought that I'll agree to stay in my enemies house just because my lovely wife wants me to. Well, enemies are not really feeling like enemies now. There are people meaner than them, my own stepmother and stepbrother tried to kill me many times. Ivan tried to kill Vera just to get back at me and here Marinos are protecting her. People who were supposed to be my enemies. I was very doubtful about Grace's decision. But when I saw her laughing her with them, the way she is loved in this house, the way he is treating her, it's relieving. She is safe here more than she was with me. I hate to admit it but these people knows how to love, love to which I was stranger until Vera came into my life. Women really turns the house into home. Do we really fail to see real faces that much? Often the people we think are bad turns out to be good and those which we think are good turns out evil. We have joined hands, Italians and Russians are no lon

"Vlad said while looking at the glass. "I didn't hear you... "Dominick smirked. "Asshole! "Vlad mumbled and Dom chuckled. "We don't drag women in rivalry... We are not Russians... "Dom mocked. "I have never hurt your women... Don't blame me for other's doings... "He sighed. He could understand that they all are hurt due to whatever happened to their mother. "You trapped Bella and her child in fire.."Dom accused. "I was the one who didn't let her hurt in that... It was just to distract you all... I could never hurt an innocent woman with baby... Even though she is little annoying."He took a sip of his drink. "I hope this is not poisoned... ""I would do worse than just poisoning you..."Dom scowled. "You almost killed me twice... "Vlad looked at him. "You deserved that and I know you can't deny it... You
Author's POVVeronica woke up in pain. It was better than last day but she is still suffering. Grace helped her to freshen up and change her clothes. "They are so cute... "Veronica looked at Grace's babies. "I wish I could hold them."She kissed the hand of babygirl. "Don't worry, you will be fine soon... Then hold them all day."Grace smiled. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you here. I really missed you."They both heard giggling voice and looked at the door. "Alexandra... Come here baby."Grace picked her up and placed on the bed. "You guys have so many babies... "Vera chuckled. "Yeah, and Bella is expecting again."Grace cheered. "I wish, Vlad could see them... I know he wants to but you know him."She sighed. "He will be here, don't worry! "Grace assured. Vera shook her head. "He won't come here... You know him... His pride is everything for him. He will find another ways to get me but won't come here because he knows that Dominick will take advantage of it.
Author's POVAnamika looked at the injured woman and old memories hit her heart. "Is she... "She couldn't complete the sentence. "No, she is not... "Dominick placed his hand on her shoulder. "Why don't you go to your room and rest... I'll handle it.""I am fine... I'll stay here... If she needs anything. "Anamika said. "We are here, don't worry. "Raan assured. "Go!"Dominick said and Anamika walked out. "Ribs are not broken but badly injured... You need a bed rest until it's healed completely. "The doctor said. He gave her medicines and left. "Vera! "Grace gently grabbed her hand as tears slide from her eyes. "I am fine! "Vera assured. She flinched when Dominick clicked her picture. "Your husband needs to know that you are safe... "He smirked. "Dom! "Grace scolded. "Let me have some fun."He chuckled. Within seconds he got an call from Vlad. "I need to talk to her..."He said desperately. "Calm down, Romeo... Your wife is safe and sound... But it's time for a
Author's POVVeronica closed her eyes tightly when dust of fallen door fanned her face. Andrew's eyes snapped towards the door and he stilled. He had no idea that he will see the man face to face. He was still on top of Veronica, squeezing her hands mercilessly. Poor girl was terrified under him. Andrew got up in fear and stepped back from Vera. Vera opened her eyes when his weight disappeared from her body. She looked at the man who broke the door and her eyes widened. He stepped towards her and she tried to crawl back in pain. She thought he is there to hurt her. "Don't move, you will hurt yourself even more."He took off his coat and covered her half naked body. Vera hissed when her chest hurt due to movements. She couldn't understand why is he helping her. "Alex, I can't... "She groaned in pain. "I am not Alex. "He answered and her eyes snapped open. She looked at his face carefully and noticed his blue eyes. "Dominick? "She mumbled. "Happy realisation... "Dominick
Veronica's POVI don't know if I should cry or laugh. How do I make him understand that he is digging his own grave. In fact he won't get grave either, I doubt that Vlad will leave his body for that. I don't know where I am, but at least I am not in a basement or something. It's a house with no windows. I can't even see the trace of sunlight, I don't know in which part of Russia he has kept me captive. I brought my knees to my chest and sighed. I need to get out of here. He knocked on the door, ohh! So he is showing manners by knocking on the door. I scoffed. He entered inside and I tried to calm down my breathing. It's ok,Vera. He is Josh, you know him. You can handle the situation. "How are you feeling? "He sat beside me and asked like he haven't just kidnapped me. I don't even know how long I was passed out or did he do something to me while I was unconscious. I felt nauseous just with the thought. "Your neck must be hurting. "He handed me a cold bag and I kept it on my ne
Veronica's POV"I love you"I looked at him with smile when he said that but I couldn't reply to that. I just couldn't! He looked at me with pain in his eyes and I looked away. It's been months and I am still not able to confess my love for him. Something stops me, may be his betrayal or his past lies. Sometimes I say it but he instantly realizes it that I don't mean it and he doesn't want to hear it from me unless I am saying it with my heart. I am just facing difficulties, I know he loves me but whatever happened in the past is something which has left deep wounds on my heart and ability to express. I want to stay with Vlad. I know he is trying hard to be a better man for me but I need my time to become old Vera. "I'll hear it from you soon... "He kissed my head and sighed. "I need to go to the hospital today... "I got up while fixing my shirt, which is basically his shirt. "I'll drop you. "He sat up. "No, I don't want to bother you. "I mumbled. I gasped when he pulled
Veronica's POVHe literally took my challenge seriously and now I can't even move my legs. Fuck, It's sore. We didn't stop at one round. As soon as I recovered from my orgasm, he started it again and at the end of the night, I forgot the count. Sun is already out and I have slept for only two hours. Vlad was rough but he didn't hurt me. I wanted to make him relax, I know he is hurting. He loves Grace so much. I had no idea that Grace has called Dominick to take her away. It means she knew that he is alive, she was just trying to know if she could trust me. Guess, Grace is not that naive. She knows when to play. "Good morning... "Vlad squeezed my thigh and I hissed. "What happened? "I pushed his hand away. "It's sore. "He smirked and gently rubbed my thighs. "You asked for it. "He pulled me closer and kissed my head while rubbing my back. "Aren't you mad at me? "I mumbled. "For what? "He asked and covered me with bedsheets. "Because I hid her pregnancy. "I closed my
