Author's POVVeronica landed in Russia and frowned when a few men in black approached her. "Mrs. Volkov, Please get inside..."She recognised them. "Get out of my way!"She glared at them. They blocked her way and she saw Vlad coming out of his car. He didn't give her a chance to say anything and shoved her inside the car. "What the fuck are you doing?"She yelled when he closed the door. "What the fuck you are doing!."He growled at her and she flinched back. She has never seen him this much angry, not when she slapped him. He grabbed her arm and jerked her forward. "What the fuck were you thinking, Veronica?..."He gritted."Are you fucking out of your mind?... How can you be so stupid to go to Italy..."She looked at his bloodshot red eyes like he hadn't slept for a night. "Do you have any idea what they could have done to you?... I have killed their daughter in law and almost killed their son... Do you realise the seriousness of the situation?"Vera pushed his hands away.
Author's POVVera frowned at Vlad who was standing in front of them. Josh got up and looked at Vlad. "She doesn't have to be my wife to feel sorry for her, Mr. Volkov.... There is a thing called empathy..."Vlad clenched his jaw and stepped towards him."Then show your fucking empathy to someone else... She is mine..."Vera stepped between them. "Stop! Josh please leave."She doesn't want Vlad to hurt him. And she doesn't understand from where Josh got so much courage to talk to Vlad like this. Josh looked at Vera's pleading face and walked away. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"Vera glared at him. "We need to talk"He said and sat down on the bench.Vera rolled her eyes and was about to walk away but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her on his lap. "Leave me!"She struggled."Behave... Kids are playing around."He said while holding her back."I should be the one saying that..."She spat. "Vera, Can you please calm down and listen to me once?"He requested and she looked at
Author's POV"Ryaan, can you please open the door... I am changing."Vera yelled while wearing her top. Ryaan didn't answer."What is he doing?"She Huffed and walked out. "Ryaan!"She slapped his head when she saw him wearing headphones."Ouch, what's wrong with you?"He took off his headphones."Stop acting like a typical teenager, You are getting spoiled..."Vera scolded and walked towards the door. She frowned when she saw a huge bouquet at the door. It has red roses and a letter. "Which girls are you trying to impress?"She looked at Ryaan who was coming to her."What?... No! I am not going to waste money on flowers... And this is too big to be my bouquet. I am sure this is for you."He picked the letter."Are you blind, Vera?.."He asked rolling his eyes and she scowled."Can't you see these big initials... It's from Vlad.""Why is he sending me flowers?."She rolled her eyes."Send these back, I don't want it.""I am reading the letter..."Ryaan grinned ignoring her warning
Vladimir's POVI looked at her as she poured antiseptic liquid on a cotton pad. I know that pain is coming, I hissed when she cleaned the wound with more than necessary pressure.My eyes roamed on her mad face, call me crazy but she looks too hot when she is angry. Her free strand teased her cheek and those sweet lips, I feel jealous realising how lucky it is. I leaned back on the bed so she could lean closer to me, it's been so many days that I haven't held her in my arms. I miss it. I miss my little fierce wife. She glared at me when she realised what I was trying to do. You can't win against me baby, I am an old player."It's hurting!"I said. This is my second time giving myself a wound so I can make her touch me. First that bullet wound and now this cut. "Good!"She replied focusing on my wound."Why?"I asked amused. She is giving savage replies now a days and I love it. I really felt bad when she burnt my bouquet but then I realised that she is burning just like that. I
Vladimir's POV"What's the time?"I asked while shaking my legs impatiently. It's been hours since she has gone for surgery. I want her near me and why the hell my head is getting heavy.Someone knocked on the door and I eagerly looked at it thinking Vera is here but no."Mr. Volkov, your dinner and medicines..."She placed the tray on counter beside my bed."Please take your medicines, we don't want your wound to get infected..."The fuck this small cut will infect me. "My hand is injured how am I supposed to eat?"I don't know why my tone comes out rude when I talk to someone else other than Vera. She is just so sweet to talk to her rudely. She looked at me tensely. "I'll send someone to help you.""Not someone... I want my wife only."I ordered."Dr. Veronica is busy attending other patients... It will take time."She stuttered."I'll wait!"I replied and she hurriedly walked out. I know Vera is avoiding me but I am stubborn too. Today I am going to eat from her hands only.
Veronica's POVI looked at my watch and sighed. I am nervous, why did he call me for dinner.I mean I am excited that the Vice president of our hospital wants to meet me but this kind of dinner feels uneasy. I have never been in a meeting like this. I looked around, the crowd here belongs to the upper class and I can feel a few eyes on me. After all I am still Mrs. Volkov. I fixed my dress, It's decent. Preferable for professional dinner. "I apologise, I hope you are not waiting for a long..."I looked up when I heard his voice. I got up and greeted him."Absolutely not sir, It's fine..."He is aged, he smiled making wrinkles on his face prominent. "Actually there is heavy snowfall, roads are blocked!"He took a seat in front of me. "I understand!"I gave him smile. "Dr. Veronica!"He chuckled at me."First of all, I am really proud of you... You are a gem of our hospital... What a wonderful work you do. Amazing woman you are..."I should feel happy by his words but his words a
Veronica's POVI rubbed my eyes and blinked it open. I looked around and found Vlad talking on the phone. He is shirtless and fuck my morning, he is so hot. The shape of his back is enough to turn a woman on. He disconnected his phone and hissed when he moved his arm. I almost forgot that he is injured, it must be really uncomfortable for him to sleep on the couch all night.And he kept his promise, he didn't touch me. He gave me space. What is he doing? Is he changing? For what? "Good morning!"He smiled at me. I looked away when he looked at me. "Thank you for helping me last night..."His smile disappeared. "Are you okay now?""Better!"I mumbled. I still can't believe that happened to me. I looked up when he placed medical kit in my lap and sat in front of me. "You are still my doctor, do your job..."He shrugged. I opened the kit and cleaned his wound. It's better than before. "How did you get this cut?"I don't understand how does he gets hurt when he has tones of bo
Author's POV Vera scowled in guilt when she looked at Vlad's clothes. He was drenched in a coffee. "This way!"She led him inside the building when they got out of the car. Vlad looked around and found his guards everywhere. The hawker in front of her building. He tried to greet Vlad but he warned him with his eyes. The watchman stood up when he saw Vlad and Vlad closed his eyes. Not getting how to stop them, if they keep reacting then Vera will realise it. Vlad called Michelle."Я с Вероникой у нее дома, вы должны сообщить всем охранникам, чтобы они меня не узнавали." ( I am with Veronica at her place, you have to inform all the guards not to acknowledge my presence.)Vera looked at him when he talked in Russian. Vlad smiled at her and disconnected the call. "Business!"She nodded. She is still not good in Russian. She opened the door and gestured him to get inside. Vlad entered and looked around, his apartment was really looking like an house. Before that it was just a
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
Author's POV"You will need it... "Dominick slid the glass of scotch towards him. Vlad stood beside him and grabbed the drink. "Thank you for taking care of her... "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
