I met eyes with the hot blond guy whose face was covered with a smile as he walked towards us. He stopped beside the cook and gave her a short side hug before facing me.
“This is Marie, my best best friend” He grinned. He has a cute, yet so strong voice. His voice is a lot different from Vladim’s, it's much more loving and caring, yet hard and deadly.
“Hi Marie, I’m Irene, you can call me Rin” I grinned, extending my hand to her. She cupped my hand with both of hers and smiled cheekily.
“I know, my dear. You’re truly beautiful, just as Vlad said”
Vladim said I’m beautiful? Oh that's definitely something worth recording. I need to hear it come out of the horse's mouth itself and I know exactly how to make it happen.
“Thank you” I smiled back, then turned to the blondie “I didn’t catch you name”
“Ilya,” He smiled “You’re gonna be seeing a lot of me”
“I like your name, It suits you” I say turning to my food “You both wanna sit and eat with me?” I ask.
"No dear, I have things to do, but you enjoy your food" Marie responded, caressing my cheeks before heading back into the kitchen.
"Normally I would never say no to Marie's food, but the party begins soon and as the hosts it's not exactly appropriate for you to be too late. I would get the car and everything ready for you, eat fast and get ready" Ilya smiled.
"Where is Vladim?"
"He will meet you there, my job is to get you there"
I nodded in response, then turned to my food and began shoving it in my face, letting Ilya go and finish his work.
I wasn't normally one to eat for long, I like to finish my food at one go so I wasn't bothered by having to finish my food fast but I also wasn't really considering rushing to get ready.
It's OK to be late every once in a while, it won't kill anyone if I'm late and anyway, let them be curious. Would be nice to make an entry after everyone has arrived.
I suddenly felt happy that Vladim wasn't with me when I went shopping for the dress. I can now show him how a real powerful woman dresses. He always looks so down at me, let me show him who's boss now, take over the party.
I finished eating In less than 10 minutes and headed back up to my room and started getting ready. I took off my ponytail and combed my hair, then tied it up again, using gel to flatten it, then I spread the gel at the end of the ponytail, to curl it up a bit. I put on my silk bonnet that I brought with me to keep it in place while I do my makeup.
After the makeup was done, I put on my dress. The dress is loose on the bust, then it follows my figure from waist till the knees and falls loose. The back is tightly closed and fully covers my back, which I love about it. I do have a nice ass so it’s worth showing it off
After all that was done, I took off the bonnet and layed my edges, sliping pieces of my hair out of each side and curling them. It's been a long time since I had a reason to deck myself up this much, I feel proud.
With my purse and phone in hand, I headed downstairs. I asked the buff guy that stands by the stairs where Ilya is. He used his walkie talkie to page him and in about 2 minutes he was outside with the car.
I walked out the open door, taking slow steps so that I don't fall on the marble stairs as I'm wearing heels.
Ilya ran out of the car and lent me a hand to support "You look gorgeous" He sent me one of his smiles.
"Thank you Ilya, I hope your boss feels the same" I responded, reaching down and walking towards the car.
"He has to be on some unique drugs not to" He opened the backdoor for me to get it.
Listening to Ilya tell the story between him and Vladim was heartwarming, you could tell that he had a deep and personal relationship with Vladim, his tone was soft and caring, he was clearly very happy with his position.
If not for the fact that I'm stuck with Vladim, I would definitely shoot my shot at Ilya, he's hot anyway and he seems to appreciate people, unlike his shitty boss.
"Try not to misunderstand him too much, he shows his love through anger. It's normal, he wasn't brought up in a loving surrounding" Ilya says, stopping in front of a huge gate, guarding a mansion.
This is what I expected when they told me Vladim is filthy rich. Rich people never fail to show off their wealth.
"G5A7" Ilya says to the gateman, who nodded, then signaled for the gate to be opened.
I watched as we drove past a beautiful garden and went round a fountain. I thought we were gonna stop in front of the main door but he kept driving and went round the building, all the way to the back.
"He's gonna be mad, we're late" Ilya laughed.
"Fashionably late" I grinned.
He looked at me through the mirror and smiled, which I returned.
Ilya stopped the car at a back entry to the mansion, which is a garden. There was a little cottage at the end of the garden and a path that leads to the mansion, many trees and flowers around creating a soft and warm feeling.
I grinned in excitement, about to open the door, but it got pulled open.
I thought it was gonna be another guard until I heard the familiar voice of Vladim's growl into my ears.
"Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting?" Vladim scolded, his rich voice sounding like he's speaking out of a microphone.
He moved aside and let me get out of the car, facing him.
"I wanted to look pretty for you babe" I sheepishly said, then took a few steps away from him and twirled "How do I look?"
He stared down at me, then turned his face to Ilya who's standing and watching on the other side of the car.
"If she wasn't yours, I'd steal her from whoever she belongs to" He shrugged.
Vladim ignored his comment and took a few steps towards me, then used his finger to push my hair out of my eyes. He was about to tuck it behind my ear but I stopped him, I pulled those strands out for a reason.
"Let's go in, the guests are waiting"
Ilya headed inside before us, I pulled my dress up and followed behind Vladim. They took huge steps to the stairs, their one step Is my two, so I had to walk faster.
We went up the stairs and appeared on the top floor, I could see everyone downstairs from up here, suddenly I felt nervous with all the eyes staring up at us.
"Remember what you said about living in a mansion?" Vladim spoke , and I nodded.
"Well come to my mansion" He whispers to my ear, slowly wrapping his hand around my waist. Before I knew it, his hands were softly guiding me towards the stairs.
We took slow steps down, all eyes on us, the song volume lowered and I suddenly realized.
I just might not be able to do this, I'm not as confident as I used to be, I can't even walk down a stair full of people without feeling nervous. This used to be a piece of cake for me.
6 months of this is starting to look difficult in my head, i just might end up commiting suicide. I have been in contact with Vladim for almost a week now and I'm still unable to control him.
The old confident me can make anyone dance to my tunes anyhow I want but look at me now, pathetic. I just have to find her, the confident Irene, only she can handle him. That can’t be too hard can it?
I raised my chin and straightened my shoulders and took each step with more confidence, Dad didn’t raise me to be a weak ass bitch. We took our last steps together and people started walking towards us.
“Follow my lead” Vladim’s voice rang in my ear. Everytime his voice enters my ear it sends shivers down my spine, makes me want to close my eyes and just let it sink in.
He has such a godly voice. In every situation I would definitely fall for this voice but in this very situation where I’m forced to be with him, I hate it.
We walked towards a group of men, some of them with their partner and others without. They all seem a lot older than us, in fact everyone here is older. Dad wasn’t joking when he said Vladim took over the market.
I put on my best smile as soon as we reached them. Vladim put his hand forward and shook the men’s hands with a strong nod, while he placed a kiss on the women’s hands.
“Nice to meet you,” A woman with blonde hair put in a bun says. Her blue eyes felt like they were staring into my soul but her smile was very beautiful “I’m Madeline” She added.
“Likewise, Irene” I put my hand forward, shaking hers.
“You found yourself a great husband right here Irene” She laughed, so did everyones else.
“Thank you Madeline” Vladim interrupted, placing his hand back on my waist “Although I like to think of myself rather lucky to have found her” He added.
I smiled and looked up at him, placing a beautiful smile on my face, then turned to her “Thank you” I said.
“You might wanna keep your card password to yourself my boy” The older woman laughed, once again making everyone laugh.
I stared at her blankly to let her know that what she said wasn’t funny. I felt that Vladim was about to speak up and decided to cut him off “Well you see Mrs…” I frowned.
“Beatrice, dear” She completed.
“Beatrice,” I repeated “I don’t think my Husband has to worry about his card around me like yours has to around you as I have my own money. I always try to remind people to focus on their own marriage, it makes life a lot easier” I smiled.
“She has a sharp tongue,” Madeline commented.
“Yeah, her tongue is actually what I love best about her,” Vladim commented.
I tried my best not to let my jaw drop.
Did he just say that!?
“They didn’t have to know that V” I shyly smiled, lightly slapping his arm.
“Why not?” He smirked down at me. “I don’t lie,” He added, then turned to him “Well, we have others to attend to, see you around gentleman” He patted the old man in front of him on the shoulder and sent a professional nod at the others before leading me to another group.
“Well that started out well” I whisper to him, keeping my smile sewed to my face “Bo they know who I am?” I asked.
“As long as it ends well, that doesn’t matter. Good job” He responded “That is Mr. Anderson and his wife Kristen Anderson, they’re important guests, try and be nice” He whispered, walking us to a couple standing by the bar.
“I am nice, '' I violently whispered back.
“Mr. Anderson '' Vladim called out, gaining the couples attention “Kristen '' He smiled, lowering himself to place a kiss on the woman's face before firmly shaking the man's hand. I shot him a hand too, and hugged the woman.
Her short bob hair complimented her broad shoulders, her almond eyes were soft and warm, and her smile, very inviting. She caressed my face and studied it for a few seconds before turning to Vladim.
“Beautiful,” She grinned “What’s your name dear?” She asked.
“Irene,” I responded, “Irene Caddel”
“Oh, Brad Caddel’s daughter?” The man exclaimed and I nodded.
“Wow! You didn’t tell us you were joining hands with the Caddels, son” He spoke to Vladim.
“Yes, I only found out she was a Caddel after falling in love with her. She likes to keep her name a secret as she prefers to be known for her own person rather than her father's daughter” He responded.
He probably said that as a lie but little does he know how true it is. I never use my last name Caddel because it’s very commonly known.
Although my dad owns a drug business, it is a secret business, he has another business that is widely known, he owns the second best manufacturing company in the world, his brand is known by everyone so whenever I say my name, people slowly figure out that I’m his daughter, it got annoying at some point.
“An independent girl…” She grinned, then looked over my head at Vladim “I’m happy for you son”
“Thank you Kristen,”
Hours and hours went by, turns out I only used to enjoy partying with rich people as a kid because I was highly social but this is mad boring. Rich people are bitches in disguise, I’m not saying I’m not, I definitely know I am.
I had to resist the urge to rip people apart at least 5 times today. Word went out that I was a Caddel and everyone was wondering why my father wasn’t here. This was more tiring than pulling all nighters for 3 days straight.
As the time slowly hit 2am, people were living. The party is one of the reasons why I wish I could get drunk, just to get out of here for a while.
“Do you wanna sleep over here for the night or go home?” Vladim asked, placing a drink in front of me.
“Let’s go home” I groaned “I just wanna sleep”
I had to go through a whole argument with Vladim before we finally left to go home. According to him, if I wanted to sleep so bad I might as well have slept there. It doesn't make any difference.I didn't want to sleep in that house because, it feels so weird, it gives me the uneasy feeling I get when I sleep at home after a party.And because I had to explain all that to him it made me so mad I started snapping at him. He never really snapped back, he just looked at me and make me feel stupid.We are currently in the car, the only sound coming from the car engine zooming. Everyone was clearly exhausted from the party. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep but every once in a while I shot my eyes for a while to rest them.The ride wasn't long but it also wasn't easy. I stole a few glances at Vladim, who's rubbing his forehead with his index and thumb. He probably felt me staring and looked right at me.I turned away really fast, thankful for being dark skinned because it stops the s
Normally when I wake up, my eyes slowly flutter open and I feel a ray bright light hitting my eyes, forcing me awake but today that wasn't the case.I was awake and I am trying to open my eyes but they're not opening wide enough. I pushed the cover off my face and sat up, looking around.I noticed my new surroundings, but I wasn’t able to open my eyes wide enough to see it properly. The familiar tight feeling on my face was all I needed to know what was going on. I knew exactly what it was but I still freaked out.I slid out of bed and bolted to the mirror in front of me. I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my swollen face. I couldn’t see properly because the curtains are closed and the room is dim, so I had to push my face to the mirror. My cheeks are bloated, around my eyes too, my nose and forehead are normal. I put my hand on my face and touched my skin, feeling the roughness.My first day here and it’s already a disaster, an allergy was the last thing I needed, now I’ll
So Vladim left. After throwing shitty words at me he said he would send Ilya with my cream for me. He couldn't even nicely give me his number, instead he pulled out a business card and dropped it on my hand, then left claiming that he will shower over there, he doesn’t have time to be here. He's lucky I wasn't going to argue with him, looking the way I do, that's more embarrassing than actually letting him walk all over me. I sent the name and image to the number, I'm currently just waiting for Ilya. I took a warm shower because it could make the symptoms a bit better but my face was sour so I could only steam it. After having waited over 30 minutes, I finally heard the soft knock on the door. I called out for whoever it was to come in. The door slowly pushed open and Ilya walked in. I had wrapped a scarf around my face to make it look less ugly, leaving only my eyes visible. The place wasn’t bright but I could see his muscular figure through his tight shirt. His hair is set loos
This man thinks he’s living in a movie I swear to god. I don’t think it would have been hard to simply open the door and say "Come In”, like a normal person, but here I am, pinned to the door, with my back against the man I now call my husband. Instead of getting triggered about the situation, my mind was unable to clear out the sexual thoughts that were crowding it. "If you wanted to pull my pants down and fuck me from the back you could've just said so, I'd have worn a skirt with no panties" I joked, trying to ignore the weird urge clouding my head. He ignored my comment and harshly released me then spun me around to face him, his expression was so strong I couldn't read it. "What did I do now?" I sighed, folding my arms. There is always something new that happens which obviously pisses him off and instead of simply verbally expressing it, he prefers to show dominance. "Are you out of your damn mind?" He whisper screamed.. "What!?" "You're flirting with my assistant do you kn
I winced in pain, resisting the urge to press the deep cut on my elbow caused by the broken glass. “Shit” I groaned, getting up. I got on my feet and spun around in pain, only to find a huge figure in front of me. My heart almost jumped out of my body. I stumbled back and hit a table, suddenly wanting to crawl into a hole. I was unable to focus due to the blood coming out of the cut on my arm. At the same time, the man is staring at me like he’s about to kill me. I looked behind him, and found the door shut. I suddenly felt a rush of fear overwhelm my body. All of a sudden I find myself back in the dark room, a place that I never thought I would be again. But this time I am not only screaming from physical pain, but from another source of pain. I suddenly felt in pain, an emotional pain. My heart was beating faster than it was meant to, I could feel my rib cages. The man in front of me suddenly got blurry and before I knew it, my feets lost all power and I was crashing down. "No,
The last few days were a roller coaster, I hadn't stepped out of my room. Marie brought me some food for me most of the time but sometimes I take myself down to eat. The wound on my hand required dressing, which Vladim did for me everytime he came back from work because he knew how to do it. He had been silent around me, he didn’t ask me anything, he was trying to give me as much space as he could and I truly appreciate that, I needed it. My brothers visited me like twice and cheered me up.I think the time for sulking is over, I’m tired of it. Now I have to revive myself. What’s done is done and the mad had been punished a long time ago. It’s not worth me bringing up the past and depressing myself.After a long warm shower, I changed into some comfortable clothes and went down for a cup of tea. Marie was not in the kitchen so I had to make it myself. I didn’t know my way around the kitchen but I could figure it out, it’s not rocket science.Making the tea wasn’t hard, I found the c
Today we are back at the mansion. I woke up early and convinced Vladim to bring me back here with him. I didn’t want to stay in the room all day so I decided that I wanted to go check out that tiny room again.I am currently in his office, trying to convince him to let me go back to that room.“But I wanna know what it is,” I whined.“How do you see a hall that small, which is obviously off limits and still forces yourself through it out of curiosity” He scolded, still typing on his computer.“It was calling out for me” I smiled, resting my arms on the table.He let out a deep sign, then looked over the computer at me “It’s a painting room, it belonged to my mom” He said, then turned his head and pointe at the painting “This was painted by her” “Oh '' as all I managed to say. I didn’t know what else I could possibly say “She’s a great artist”“I know,” He went back to typing.“Why is the door so small?” I asked.“She didn’t want my father going in there and he was a big chubby man so
The past few days have been weird. I stayed with my father for two days, because Jax and Hunter were out of the city for a business trip and we try our best not to leave our father alone as much as we can. He said he’s still working on getting me out of this situationship with VladimI did return back to the house which Vladim likes to call the ‘Safe House’. Vladim didn’t come back for two days because he was apparently swamped in work, so he had to stay over there at the mansion. I was a bit relieved because I think we both needed a few days apart after the awkward closet scene.I was a bit rude because I was stressed about him cornering me but he deserved every word I said to him. I said some things that make me cringe everytime I think back at it but what’s done is done.I was able to contact my old therapist and get back in contact with him. I told him what had happened and we had one session for now but I have another one scheduled for next week. Today I have to go and stay with
I shifted closer to him and placed my hand on his bare chest, slowly connecting my body to his, with my hand around him. The contact between our bodies made me feel so hot but what triggered me the most was when he put his hand on my naked back. I couldn't take the feeling anymore, I couldn't just lay there anymore. In a matter of seconds, I was on top of him, I could lightly feel his bulge behind my ass as I crashed my lips on his.I could tell it took him by surprise because he froze for a second, before his body softened and he started kissing me back. His hand went up from my back, past my bra and up to my face.We were kissing and cupping eachothers faces and I slowly started grinding my ass which probably triggered him because he spun us around and just like that, he was on top of me, but he didn't break the kiss.His right hand was under my neck and the other was around my waist. My eyes were closed and I didn't bother opening them until he pulled out of the kiss and started t
"Do you have any idea the type of danger you put yourself in today!? Vladim scolded."It wasn't my fault, I have no idea who they were" I fought back."You have one, just one rule, to stay in the damn house and not leave without protection or Ilya" "Instead of giving me blank rules why don't you tell me why I can't!? Papa does the same thing to me and I have no idea why, give me a good reason why" "Our line of business is not safe, not for us and not for you. You are constantly at risk of getting killed! If we don't keep you safe, no one will!" He responded, trying his best not to sound mad."I don't need your protection" I sneered out of anger."And where did that leave you?" He asked.That felt like a stab on the chest, I didn't know what he meant by that but I had an idea. Was he referring to what happened to me in the past? If that was his point then point received but at what cost. It severely pierced through my heart.I didn't say anything and tried to take in his words, which
Yesterday was weird but it felt good to speak about my mother with someone other than my brothers and father. Vladim seems to have loved her like a mother too, he had stories of the time he spent with her despite him being so young. He only knew her for about a year or so but she turned out to be one of the most important people in his life.The conversation ended when he left the room to get some tea for himself. I didn't wait for him, I slipped back under my blanket and slept off.This morning he wasn't here when I woke up and Ilya took me to the mansion early in the morning because I felt like going there but he left after he dropped me, and the mansion is boring considering Vladim is busy with work, so I decided to take an uber out.I decided to go and get something to eat. I missed breakfast and I didnt want to bother the maids by making them have to cook again so I decided to eat out. If I was at the safe house, I could have had Maria's food.I headed out of the house and to my
I had a long day at home, I didn't return until 8pm and I only realized it was 9pm because Vladim sent me a message asking if I'm returning. It felt cute, felt like he was worried about me. Even if he wasn't, I will take it as it is. It's good for my mental health.Hunter was supposed to drop me home, but Vladim already sent Ilya without telling me so I had to say no to a ride with Hunter and I missed Ilya anyway so it was OK.I hadn't seen him when I returned, he was out handling business but here he is picking me up at the end of the day. We spoke the entire ride back, I was telling him about Moscow, about Vladim’s father, I didn't go in very deep with that one because I didn't wanna insult my husband's father to his friend, it's disrespectful. After a short ride, here I am, at home, the safe house. Vladim is here apparently so he told Ilya to bring me here. The hallway was empty, no unnecessary guards inside, which was unusual but I didn't think much of it, and headed upstairs.I
The flight was terrible, I was made to sit in-between Vladim and Clyde, Clyde had the window seat and refused to give it to me so I was left to sleep on Vladims shoulder, but his shoulder is as hard as a brick.I managed to sleep after eating the plane food, and woke up on Clyde's shoulders with his head on mine. I was going to stay like that and let him wake up, but I figured he wouldn't do the same for me, so I pushed his head off, waking him in the process, before sitting up right. The rest of the ride faded, I fell asleep multiple times, we had a stopover and after hours of travel, we finally got home.I have no idea why they choose to fly commercial, on economic flights, not even business. At this point I feel very violated by the two men, they have no manners.Ilya didn't pick us up from the airport, but the car dropped us at the mansion. As soon as we got there, I went straight to the room and fell on the bed, before drifting to sleep.I am currently on the front porch of my h
Clyde is one hell of a cook. I'm not saying that because I'm hungry and anything I eat would please me but the flavors in his food.Very simple, yet it creates a taste to remember. He made some rice with vegetables and a sauce that I can't quite tell what it is, but it's black."How? How did you do this?" I asked, putting another spoonful in my mouth. Luckily he served a lot because I wasn't going to get served restaurant amount food and be happy."Could have been better, but we had to microwave it" He shrugged.Did I mention that he has a microwave in his room? Just sitting there? He's that much of an eater, I need to take inspiration from him.When he got the food out of the balcony, it was getting cool and he just threw them into the microwave."Basically, I made the rice using a technique and spices I got from India, and when you go to west Africa, they have a special way of making rice, called Fried rice. I used those two techniques together to get this and as for the black sauce
“Man the heat up in this room almost burnt my whole ass food”I hadn’t realized when Clyde came out of the kitchen but his comment was the only thing that snapped me out of the world I had faded into. I was still in shock, I didn’t know that he knew about it, I didn’t know that anyone knew about it for that matter.Did Vladim already know about it? Clyde? Natasha? Did everybody in the business know that Brad Cadell’s daughter was raped by a worthless man? Was I the only one who had no idea about it?I grabbed whatever scattered piece that was left of my respect and walked up to my temporary room. I guess I did call this upon myself so there is truly no one I can blame but that doesn’t mean it didn’t pierce not only my heart but my ego too.It’s been a long day, so much has happened and the day only went from bad to worse. The minute I arrived into the room, I shut the door behind me and began stripping. I knew Vladim wasn’t going to follow me immediately, so I took everything off. I
I have never seen Vladim this peaceful in public, ever. He shut his eyes taking in the soft breeze. I couldn't tell whether he was sleeping or not but it was nice seeing him so relaxed. His lips were tugged upwards, not in their usual straight line. His body was straight as he laid on the rooftop, one leg crossed on top of the other. He had one hand placed on his stomach and the other on his forehead, shielding his face. I let my smile stay on my face for a few more seconds before turning to the sunset. The sun was moving softly and the clouds followed. The sunset was beautiful, I inwardly wished I had my camera. I pulled the suit jacket that Vladim gave me, covering my chest even more from the cold. The weather was perfect but the breeze was an issue. The silence between us was comforting, the only sound was coming from nature. I thought to myself if I should lay on my back like Vladim or stay seated. After we left the family house, Vladim drove us back home. It was a silent ride
This is the most disastrous family I have come across in all my life of living, A family full of retards and snakes. Since we arrived here, Vladim and I have received nothing but death glares. I understand why I am getting but I don’t understand why Vladim.Is it because he married a black person and no one wants him with a black person? Or is it because he’s someone else's son? I have no Ideas but I can’t imagine what Vladim must feel like being hated but his entire family.My family is my life, they are my strength, they have been with me through everything and I can tell that he is obviously not very close to his father and his mother clearly prefers her biological son, although I have to give her points for trying but it seems like he is constantly surrounded by eerie feeling around his family. I&r
