After Kamilla left, the room was filled with howls of misery and crazed screams. It is music to her ears.She closed the door behind her and slowly made her way to the waiting figure ahead."Done?" Samuel gently inquired, reaching for her cheek to caress."For the meantime, yes" she sweetly smiled and closed her eyes. She snuggled her face against his hand and kissed his palm. "I will return here tomorrow" she added with a contented smile."Nobody will come looking for them, right?" she excitedly asked, staring at Samuel with her expectant puppy doe eyes. "The instant they choose to mess with the Petrovs, they have long accepted their death" Carl interrupted their lovely exchanged.Everyone is outside the room, waiting for her to come out. It was not a long wait though. It barely took her ten minutes to complete her intended task."They are on a suicide mission and are fully aware of it. No one will come looking for them" Lia speak, like Abby, she was glued to her husband's side."G
Samuel caught Kamilla in his arms before she fell face first to the floor. The moment she hit his arms, she went limp and lost consciousness. With thundering heart, Samuel quickly carried her outside and laid her down on the couch, where Abby and Lia were already waiting to attend to her."We need to administer IV fluid. She is weak. Oxygen, please," Abby announced after checking Kamilla's pulse. Before Abby could finish, Denver and Carl rush back with the medical supplies. All cabins are equipped with emergency kits, which include a portable oxygen tank.Lia and Abby, as doctors who are used to dealing with life-threatening emergencies, get right to work in caring for Kamilla. She was paler and weaker. Her lips are chapped. Exhausted and dehydrated from spending hours inside the room.Her hands were wrinkled from wearing medical gloves for an extended period of time, and the tight air mask had left red markings on her face. She had a rough day and they could do nothing but look
The day after Kamilla had fully rested and received Abby's consent to leave bed, she insisted on returning to the lab. To appease Samuel, Lia assures him to look after her. They do not have much time and must work quickly. Despite the ongoing poisoning crisis, Petrov Pharmaceuticals continues to operate. "I will drop by later to check on you. I will meet with Vasili and Lucas to discuss important matters" Samuel dropped her at the company. "I understand. Don't worry about me. I will be with Doctor Lia" Kamilla nuzzled her lips against his face before planting soft kisses.Samuel drew her closer and filled his lungs with her sweet scent. If only he could order her to be in bed the entire day. But, knowing her, she will undoubtedly be on her feet once he turns his back. "Once this is over, we will go on a vacation. We will be visiting Austin and other countries. Everywhere you want to go" Samuel caress her face while their lips nuzzled each other. "I do not need to be anywhere els
After meeting Samuel for lunch, she returned to put her newfound progress to the test. She repeated the intravenous administration before attempting it through the air.Both yield the same result. The rodents will weaken, but they will eventually regain their strength and be back on their feet. Somehow, it gave her hope. However, it still requires more testing. She is keeping it a secret until she is absolutely certain. Her mood improved dramatically after making such progress, and she returned home with a calm disposition. "Rough day?"When she saw Samuel enter the bedroom, she ran over to him. Her arms found their usual spot around his neck."I got tangled up in a lot of meetings. Those scumbags are getting increasingly brazen. They dare challenged the Petrovs" with a grim tone, he muttered. However, he refuses to allow his mood influence his time with Kamilla. He held her close and buried his face in her neck, smiling tiredly. Her sweetness never fails to calm his senses afte
"We are giving a one-hundred million dollar reward to anyone who can find and give information about Poison Ivy. It is about time they answer to the law for the catastrophe they caused upon the people of our country""This is a crisis that affects the entire public, not just the government. We must cooperate to prevent these evildoers from spreading dread to every family.""On this day, I, President Vladimir Borodin declares war against our country's number one adversary, Poison Ivy and all its cohorts."The president fixed his attention on the camera, as if he were exchanging looks with the criminals. "We will show no mercy against these people. We shall impose zero tolerance""The capture of Poison Ivy comes with a one-billion dollar bounty. Dead or alive"With his awful dark expression, the president announced in front of millions of people across the country and around the world. All web portals have been on fire for several hours following the pronouncement. Everyone is in a fr
Lia was dreading opening the door. But time is ticking, and it is becoming increasingly louder inside her head.After taking a deep breath, she opened the door while keeping her eyes closed.The moment she opens it, the first thing she saw inside the glass compartment is the figure, sitting on the floor with her back against the table. "Kamilla..." she screamed in terror when she saw her pallid and nearly lifeless. However, she did not succumb to dread. She confidently hit the emergency exhaust button to clear whatever fumes were inside.She grabbed a face mask and ran to the glass door."Kamilla!?" Her fingers swiftly locate the area under her ear to check her pulse."What have you done?" she is devastatedly whispering to herself as she presses her ear against her chest, searching for some sign of life. She was relieved to have heard a faint one, but it did not reassure her. It is too faint to be trusted. "Kamilla, come one." She looked around and noticed several empty parapherna
"I will wash her," Samuel stated after a while of staring at Kamilla on her bed. Abby and Lia turned to face him before he beckoned for one of the helpers to assist Samuel. "She will be uncomfortable in her sleep if she has not showered," he continued with a sigh. Samuel has never left Kamilla's room since their arrival at the Petrov facility. He stayed beside her till Abby and Lia came. The assistants returned with Kamilla's new medical gown and a mobile lavatory. They also brought her personal belongings, as Samuel requested. "We will help you wash Madame Kamilla, Sir Samuel," the aids politely offered. "No, I will wash her myself. You can leave now" Samuel shook his head and dismissed the assistants. He does not want other people to see Kamilla's bare body. "We will help you, Sam" Abby offered. "Yes, please," he softly replied before picking up the washcloth from the lavatory. Despite being accompanied by Abby and Lia, he did the majority of the work. He meticulously clea
"I do not feel good about this, Boss," Samuel grumbled as they entered another wooden cabin. The third one they have siezed tonight. "Me, too," Vasili said, his chilly tone echoing through the tactical headsets they were all wearing. After the sun has set, they set out on a hunt in an abandoned logging site, equipped with nightvision masks. They quickly infiltrated the area using night vision drones. On the way, they killed a number of armed individuals. Apart from the enemy's challenging positions, they encountered minimal resistance. It was too easy for their peace of mind. "This is a trap. Get ready" Lucas muttered with gritted teeth. Clearly, they have been duped and the men turned gravely formidable as their suspicions has been validated. "This is why I do not work with others. They are bunch of traitors" Vasili furiously scoffed after Lucy spoke what has been in his mind. "There is a thermal detection inside the cottage, Boss. "Those dupes may be their welcome party," o
"Ready to go home?" Samuel asked, his lips nestled against Kamilla's temple."After six months, we can finally bring home our little fighters. So, yes, I am so ready to go home, Baby," she tearfully smiled, cradling their princess while Samuel carried their two boys.The triplets slumber peacefully in their arms, unconcerned by the bustle around them. She glanced at their three bundles of joy and could not help but smile, teary but joyful. "They appeared to have grown bigger. They looked a lot better without the tubes and medical equipment attached to them," she whispered, wiping away her tears."Yes, my love. They are ready for the world" Samuel helped her dry her cheeks.They were finally able to go home after six months in the facility. The triplets' health is already stable and have passed all of their tests, so the team approved their release. However, due to their prematurity, there are still stringent limitations. An inhouse medical team will assist them in taking care of th
"Babe..." Samuel's voice was muffled as he snuggled against Kamilla's neck. "I will only hold," she insists, her hand already sliding into his boxer.It had been a couple of weeks since her cesarian operation, and she could move freely without concern for her incision."Temptress...Urgh..." he bit her neck, making her giggle. "It's hard" she beamed with joy."It's early morning, Babe, of course it's hard." Though tortured, he chuckled at his wife's antics.Every morning, she would slip her hand inside his boxers and play with his morning wood. Her antics caused him to jerk since he cannot make love with her until she is fully healed. "Bigger than the hungarian sausage," she said with a naughty smile. "You are so huge, Baby. I can't believe this fits me" she mumbled softly, her hand is starting to stroke him to a rhythm he is so familiar with. Also the tightness and warmth akin to her hand wrapped around his shaft, which he sorely missed. "Arghh..." he responded with a deep grow
"But...? What is the but, Lia?" Samuel repeated, and tears began to obscure his vision.He has been trained to see all sides of situations and he consistently demands it regardless of its outcome. Their family waited in trepidation, afraid to even move. Every passing second is torture to everyone's sanity.Lia wiped her tears away and took a quick breath to alleviate the uncomfortable lump in her throat. "Dr. Rene Rechner modified the patented medicine used to wake up Grandmother Andrea." Lia earnestly explained, her eyes fixed at Samuel.At the mention of the drug developed by Dr. Rechner piqued everyone's interest, most particularly Samuel."Two of the triplets shared the same placenta and the other one has her own" Lia gently smiled."My princess got separated from her brothers" Samuel softly mumbled."Yes, and we almost lost her" Lia bitterly whispered, letting out a deep breath. "It was a nightmare. Reviving a fetus smaller than my knuckles was a scene I would rather forget. T
"It is taking so long," Samuel heaved a sigh and muttered, burying his face in his palm.The grueling wait is wreaking havoc on his sanity. It has been four hours and there is no indication of anyone leaving the operation room. "They have to make sure Kamilla and the babies are all right, Sam," Lexie said, rubbing his back to reassure him. Dinara is on the other side of him, doing the same to her son. "We shall keep praying for all of them, Sam. May all of the medical team be shone with divine wisdom that only the heavens could bestow. May Kamilla and the three babies be given the strength to endure" Lexie tenderly whispered with closed eyes. Before Lia, Dr. Rechner, and Abby took Kamilla to the surgery room, the entire family had arrived, including the Wrights and the Steels.Vasili and the other Petrov men arrived three hours later. But they made sure to check in with the others on the ongoing procedure since it started. "They are not done yet?" Vasili asked his brothers the ins
Kamilla had extensive monitoring to ensure she was ready for a cesarean section. Her blood pressure, however, has proven to be the most difficult obstacle. "Sam, go lay down next to Kamilla and sleep. Something is upsetting her, causing her blood pressure to fluctuate. I believe you are the one causing her distress," Lia mumbled sympathetically as she approached Samuel."What exactly do you mean, me?" Samuel was perplexed as he pointed to himself."Kamilla is exhibiting symptoms of stress. She may be lethargic but she is conscious, Sam. She knows exactly what is going on around her" Lia patiently explained, staring straight into his eyes."She knows when you are not eating or sleeping. She could sense your distress and guilt. She knows when you are drowning in work and not taking care of yourself the way you used to." Lia bitterly smiled, seeing his perplexity."She is aware of everything, yet she has no control over it. She cannot take care of you while fighting to survive and beari
"How are you, Babe?" Samuel approached the bed and leaned in to kiss the peacefully sleeping figure on it.He carefully took a seat next to her and hovered above her, his elbows propped up to support his weight. He longingly stares at her beautiful face, seemingly memorizing every detail of it. He received no warm response, as he usually does, but he continued to gently kiss her pale face."I finished some important meetings earlier and started handing over some of my tasks to Denver," he smiled as he planted a kiss on her slightly parted lips. "Starting tomorrow, I will be working from home. I will not leave unless absolutely essential, Babe. We will be together all day," he inhaled deeply with closed eyes, immersing his fatigued senses with her soothing natural scent.He just finished showering alone. It was extremely lonely going about their daily routine without her, but he will persevere. He will wait for her.Yesterday was a mix of joy and doom for him. He found Kamilla had b
"Good day, Madame Kamilla," staff greeted as she make way to the private elevator with her security. "Good day," she remarked with a courteous smile and a kind nod to everyone. Her presence inside Petrov Petroleum's main office has become more frequent in recent days. It had been four months since her wedding, and she was now undergoing rigorous training under all Petrov senior scientists, as Doctor Lia had planned for her. They are preparing her as future chief scientist at the facility. She was doing well in her training, except for her odd yearning to see and smell Samuel every now and then. She was trying to concentrate on her work, but she couldn't resist the impulse to meet with Samuel. So despite the hassle of traveling to the main office from her location, she would make the effort to visit him. However, unlike most days, she felt a little lethargic. She woke up fine earlier. However, when she arrived at the facility, she felt an unusual tightness in her gut. She tried
"What are your plans, Kamilla?" Vasili asked as he stared at the stacks of stones in front of them."I just want to bring my family home" Kamilla smiled bitterly. Today, after ten years, she went back to Monte Cristo a week after the wedding. They arrived at dawn at the mainland's airport and traveled for four hours to Monte Cristo. The sun had already risen and they could clearly see the forest and wreckage of her previous home. Not only Samuel accompanied her but the Mafia Boss, Vasili and his queen, Doctor Amelia, Denver, Carl, Dalton, the Stepanov siblings who are nowhere to be seen around them, and several of their men. Monte Cristo is already a foreign land to her and the Petrov will not allow her and Samuel to return without the Wolf, some of their cousins and their men. Her heart sank to the depths of the ocean as she stared at the makeshift tomb she had built for her family ten years ago. The stones she placed have now become rubble on the ground. The passage of time ru
"Wow, its huge. Thick and long" Kamilla's eyes widened in awe as she stared at the sandwich placed in front of her. A surprisingly large hungarian sausage.Inquisitive eyes darted to her, and as soon as they noticed where her gaze was directed, their brows arched in mischievous delight. "Looked familiar," Abby giggled, her face flushed. "Add a little inch and a bit of thinkness, it is what it is. What do you think?" Lia inquired thoughtfully, her gaze likewise directed at Kamilla's plate."Yeah, I think so too" Kiera nodded while fixing her eyes at the same spot of everyone's interest."That is a lot to consume and its massive. I cannot imagine how it will fit in your mouth" Arah exclaimed, astounded at the generous portion.Kamilla turned to Arah with her Bambi eyes. The rest followed and something just dawned on the four of them. Arah did not seem to figure out what they were talking about. "Yeah, its huge and long, but do it inch by inch, Dr. Arah. I can barely take half of it;
