Arina's POVWe reached our base but I again didn't trust Romano even a bit and parked the car at a near by garage. The owner was shocked to just see the car and that I wanted to park it at his small garage. I left it there and we entered our base."what do you think Arina? Should we trust him? He gave us all the information of all the whore houses but don't you think this is all too good to be true?" Helena asked and the same thing is going on in my head. Why is he doing all this? It's like in just one night he has changed. Is it even possible? Or was it because of what I said to him before leaving? Is he really regretting? No... stop Arina... how many times are you willing to fall for his lies?"I don't trust him. And given our history... I think no one should." I said and all the girls were looking worried."Do you think it's a trap for us?" Nina asked and I don't know what to say."I checked the data he gave us, it seems original. No manipulation has been done." Nina added."Mafia
Arina's POV"Just like this flower... our relation has started blooming as well, I will take care of our relation... you can take care of this little flower..." and I quickly put it down and went back to my place. This man is getting dangerous day by day... I need to stay away!As I entered, whole house was quiet. I was still holding that flower. I looked at it and smelled it, it is really amazing how a flower and a man can give the same mysterious vibes. I wanted to throw it away but decided against it and took a glass of water and put it in it. I know it won't survive like this, in few days it will die. Just like our relation. I still don't know why he likes blue roses so much. I took it with me and went back to sleep. Next one week we focused on our strategies only and didn't go to any of the whore houses. I don't want to fall in Romano's trap. We collected information and divided our teams. Nina also looked in to all the complaints about orphanages. Believe it or not but in Russi
Arina's POV"It looks like some kind of map..." Nina said and I kept staring at the map and then my eyes widened. I know what it is... No... It is the map of Romano's estate. I quickly grabbed the Audi keys and ran to my car and drove it like a mad man... they have the map to the estate... their target is not me... their target is Romano... I need to speed up... I am not letting anyone touch even a single hair on my man...My man? Where did that come from? I don't even know why I said it. But technically he is still my husband. Yes.. And he just tried to save me and most importantly my people. I am not going to let anything happen to him as well. And perhaps all of this is my fault; I shouldn't have said that R means Romano. They all are after him because of me. But I will not let them get succeeded. They ruined me but I will not let them touch him... I clicked on the button in the car and the screen activated."Hello I am Andy. What can I help you with?" Car's intelligence system spo
Arina's POV"I CAN'T LUCA... I had tried in past but I can't. A patient died on my table. I can't operate on anyone... he will also die. I can't... he took that bullet for me. He is in this condition because of me and if I will operate he will die. I am no longer a good doctor" I said sobbing and Luca hugged me. He patted my back and I kept crying when I heard heaving breaths... I pulled away and looked at Romano... no shit... he is having seizers... what should I do? I slowly went to him, his vitals are dropping. I quickly adjusted the blood flow and put him on oxygen and injected him to control his seizures. His vitals are not looking good. No, if this will happen then I will lose him. No, I can't lose him. I can't... he saved me. He took a bullet for me. I should have been here instead of him. I can't let him die for me. and automatically my hands started working... I don't know the outcome but I have to try. I have no other option."Luca... Matteo... what are you waiting for? Gra
Arina's POV"You don't need to go anywhere. Nothing will happen to your people... tell them to go the address I give... My jet will pick them up and get here safely..." Romano was seated on bed like nothing is wrong with him and he was looking at me... does he really mean that? His jet will get my girls here? But wouldn't that mean officially accepting that the R is actually his people? He will officially declare a war with this... Has he gone crazy? What is he thinking?... he can't do this..."Luca... get our Jet ready and send an armed team with them... Alert our team in Russia to help Arina's people." He said and Luca hesitated for a second but one look from Romano and he left. "Matteo... attackers were our guards... I want you to search their rooms... find their phones and history." And Matteo left as well."You might want to talk to Nina that she can inform Mila to talk to Luca." He said and I was shocked the way he was handling everything. Like not just now he was about to die.
Arina's POV"Are you trying to tell me that you love me?" I asked the question before I could even realise and I looked at him with a hope and smile. Please just say yes... my heart was beating faster and faster... and then he kissed my forehead and looked in my eyes and said it..."No... I don't.." he said and my world collapsed... what was I even thinking? How can I even think that I can get some happiness in this hell?...Stupid Arina... Stop...I sat back up and went back to the chair. This is better. Getting hurt for something I never even wanted is just plain stupid. And I am no stupid. I don't love him myself....maybe.."What happened? Why you went back on the chair?" he asked and I gave a small fake smile."I am not sleepy and I am worried that I might hurt you in your sleep so it is better that I sleep here." I don't know why I am lying and now... it's not like he had hurt me with a no... Well may be he did. But after whatever shit I have went through may be I am not that stro
Arina's POV"Now tell me what Mila told you..." he said and I was frozen... I am trying so hard to keep him away and he keep entering in... No. I can't let him do that anymore...This is my fight and I will win it on my own...."Nothing... she presented the formal report.. You were right, Chinese have entered and they are trying really hard to restart the whore houses. They have started to kidnap a lot of young girls again. I am worried about them" I said and he narrowed his eyes slightly like he is in deep thinking but then he smiled and kissed my forehead."They won't be a problem for long. I don't plan on letting any of them go. Soon Russian and Chinese Mafia both will be on their knees and they won't dare to so anything like that. I will free those girls as well. Don't worry so much" he said and it just made me feel bad. Mitch was right... he is helping me in everything. I shouldn't need him. I am ruining the reputation we created for the R. We don't need anyone.. We girls are stro
Arina's POV"Stay here... shift back here... not only you but all your girls as well. I have an extra building here, they can stay there. Our enemies are same and their targets are us both... then why stay away from each other and give them chance to hurt us. You stay here and we will fight together and heal together... I will bring back my old Arina back... can you do that?" he asked and I had no answer... what should I do? I want to heal but can he do that? Can I shift back here?"Can I talk to the girls and tell you?" I asked and he smiled. He was looking really happy with my decision that at least I considered his proposal. I got out of his arms and left... I went downstairs and was about to leave when I accidentally slammed in Luca and he steadied me. I thanked him with a smile and was about to go when he held my hand and I stopped. I looked in his eyes and he was looking like he wants to say something. He took my hand and took me to somewhere quiet."What is it Luca?" I asked an
