Back at Leaf City, Yuri sat before Dmitry's desk, right in his study room and continued reporting, "Titiana was immediately returned as soon as they found out she was your sister." Yuri continued, "the leader of these men's cartel had written to us, apologizing for his men's misdeed. But at your order, we can start a war. We can let even powerful families at Crying Sun know that the Pushkin's family in Leaf City are not to be toyed with." "Titiana is alive and won't have any reason to ever go to Crying Sun again. I'll let it pass." Dmitry said to Yuri's surprise. "How about the trauma they had experienced during the few hours of her kidnap?" Yuri asked. He knew for certainty that Dmitry never lets anyone go unpunished. He's ruthless and merciless. "Titiana had gone through worse." Dmitry said and changed the topic, "Natasha said the man that came to attack Mr. Peller looks familiar in stature, investigate who the person is and give me feedback before tomorrow runs out." "Got it.
Natasha went to the Pushkin's main Villa, for the Pushkin's family had lots of mansion but this particular one was at the city central. Natasha had been invited by Titiana. Once Natasha stepped inside the living room, she saw radiant Titiana, dressed glamorously walking towards her, "hey Natasha." Titiana went ahead and welcomed her then led her to the dining table. "Is Dmitry around?" Natasha finds herself asking. "No, he's not. Don't bother about him," Titiana smiled. "I'm just glad you have recovered. You look new to me," Natasha said with a smile. There were already all sorts of beautiful delicacies served before them. Titiana's cheek turned red, she thanked her and persuaded her to start eating. The two adults began to chat lightly in the process. Once they were done, Natasha smiled, "whoever cooked this deserves an award." For she truly enjoyed the food. Titiana smiled, "I won't take the credit alone since the cooks in the house helped me, but the food is my recipe." "Oh.
After Natasha was done with work the following day, she proceeded outside. While approaching the Uber she had ordered to take to the hospital that her father was in, Pavel appeared. "Hey." Natasha paused and turned to him, "Hi." When Pavel got before him, "going home?" "No. My father is sick, I want to check him at the hospital." She replied truthfully. "Why don't I drive you?" Pavel offered. Natasha accepted after a few seconds. While they were inside the car, Pavel was the one driving while Natasha sat on the seat that was right beside that of the driver. "Pardon me, but why did you suddenly want to help me?" Natasha asked curiously. "I'm your boss, Natasha. I don't need any reason to help you," Pavel said. "By the way, how is your relationship with Violet?" "She said she did not believe the forged CV I had submitted and that she was investigating." Natasha said. Pavel had helped her forge her CV and her certificate to make it look like she was a medical professional. "You
Yuri answered the call once Dmitry made a gesture that permitted him to answer the call. Once the call came to an end, Yuri said to Dmitry, "the doctor said he had forwarded the DNA test result to your mail, sir." "Take this woman out," Dmitry commanded and immediately, Yuri led Naomi out even though she was being reluctant. Dmitry then stood and walked up to Natasha. This time, Natasha already had her heart at the base of her throat, she almost coughed out her lungs in fear. She could feel her entire body clouded in fright. Dmitry grabbed her by the left arm all of a sudden and said, "do you know the consequences of lying to me?" Natasha's eyes furrowed in shock. He had never grabbed her this way before. "Those kids are yours, aren't they?" Natasha was too scared to even utter a word, she just kept staring at him like a frightened little rabbit. Dmitry then picked up his phone and opened his mail app. Natasha felt Like snatching the phone away from him but that will only make m
Natasha woke up to a throbbing headache, she immediately placed her hand on her head, taking in the pain slowly. Took a while before she was able to adjust her sight to the light in the room. Taking a slow glance at the room, she noticed the room is a beautiful one, only that she was the only one here and she didn't know what house she was in. Her heart hurts when she remembers that Pavel had knocked her unconscious. To even think that she took Pavel as a friend and trusted him to an extent. She stood and then walked sluggishly to the window, she slid open the glassy window and then noticed that the ground was too far from the room she was in. It was like she was on the top floor of a skyscraper. Her heart raced. She was yet to reckon in her heart that Pavel kidnapped her. Do people kidnap others and force them to marry? Is she in crying sun now? She searched for her phone but couldn't even find it. She then walked towards the door and attempted to open it, to her surprise, the do
"How dare you bring me disgrace in my own city," Pavel's loud voice came through like thunder. Natasha didn't believe that Pavel could ever raise his hands on her, he even shouted at her in public. Looking at Pavel, Natasha felt like she was looking at a different being. "Sign the fucking divorce papers and I'll spare your babies," he said angrily. Natasha could feel a metallic taste of blood in her mouth, "you are nothing but a woman abuser. I thought you said you want to marry me because you don't want your father's enemy to hurt me? You sounded like you will do anything to ensure I'm not hurt but it's beginning to be obvious that you may have your own agenda." "Why don't you act like a plan and confess the truth. Who are you? What have you been hiding? What's the need to lie? How long can you pretend to be who you are not!" Natasha asked angrily. Pavel grabbed her by the neck and pulled her to himself, "I'm Pavel Jucef, the heir of the biggest mafia empire here in the East. Fro
Dmitry Pushkin stood before his mother in one of the secret rooms in the mansion, his two hands were tucked perfectly inside his Pocket suit. Staring at his mother with a heavy heart. He grew up to see his mother this way- from what his grandfather had told him, his mother, Valentina fell into a Locked-In Syndrome immediately after she birthed him. Valentina had wanted to abort her pregnancy but Mr. Pushkin had persuaded her not to. In the end, she kept it but after delivering the baby, she got swallowed up in one of the most terrifying illnesses ever- a rare neurological disorder that has no cure. His mother had been this way for twenty nine years, that is almost three decades. Mr. Pushkin had employed the services of the best doctors all over the world but none could heal the woman. When Dmitry grew of age too, he used all that's within his reach and means to make his mother get better but she was never better. The woman is unable to move any part of her body, not even her mouth
When it was break period, Natasha could be seen standing at the CEO's office. She had gone to the CFO's office but the CFO had directed her to the CEO's office. However, the CEO wasn't on the seat so she will have to wait. After waiting for an hour and thirty minutes, Natasha was a little frustrated. She might spend the rest of her work hours here if she keeps waiting here. She should probably come back by the end of the day. She then walked towards the door, as soon as she twisted the knob, Dmitry appeared. "Sir..." She finds herself saying. Dmitry went to his desk and gestured for her to sit. Natasha sat. "Why did you have to forge your results?" "I was desperate to get a job. I've got medical skills but no one will employ me since I do not have a certificate to prove it." "You committed a crime." Dmitry said. "I'm sorry and I hope I can be forgiven," Natasha pleaded. "You are fired!" Natasha's brow furrowed in shock. "Fired?" "Leave this moment," he said and didn't bothe
"I could swear I heard something." Dmitry said as he walked closer. "And that sound isn't coming from you." Then he looked around suspiciously. All these while, Natasha became so scared that her heart was literally on her throat struggling to fall off her mouth. Dmitry suddenly noticed that the flower vase seems out of place so he approached it carefully. He then instinctively took the vases away. Natasha walked closer at once and spoke, "I can explain!"The kids could be seen crawling out of where they had been hid. The expression on Dmitry's face had become a murderous one. "Dad, it's not miss. Natasha's fault. It's ours." Marcus spoke immediately. He could tell that Dmitry was angry. Truth was, as a little child, he had never seen Dmitry with such a cold-stone face. Dmitry swallowed and then called Yuri, once he answered, he said, "I already found the kids."Then he held the hands of the twin and lead them out gently. He didn't even spare Natasha another glance. After he had l
Natasha's heart flew a hundred meters away. She looked at her two kids that were seated comfortably on the seat.Marcus jumped up from the bed at once, "we must leave immediately," he said to Rose.Rose also stepped down. This time, Natasha was already standing. "Gen, I need you to hide these kids for me."Gen looked around the pretty large office but there's no hiding space there. Everywhere was exposed."Will under the table do?" Natasha asked Gen."It's still exposing ma." Gen Ichiro answered. "I think he will easily see them there."Then the sound of a knock came through the door. Natasha's heart raced at the sound of the knock. She knew it was definitely Dmitry at the door."Just cover them with something, they are little."Gen nodded and then led the two kids under the table then he quickly grabbed the vases of flowers around and used it in covering the open space.Then at Natasha's gesture, he went ahead and opened the door for Dmitry.Dmitry then stepped in, Gen stayed around
After a long while, the door gave way and Anthony Roosevelt appeared. Natasha stood upright in shock. She had almost lost all hope, thinking that Anthony Roosevelt wouldn't come.His face was calm, "I inquired from the men that are keeping you here why you were here and I was told it was on Dmitry's command.""Yes... Dmitry locked me up here cause he found me beating his fianceé," Natasha stated.Anthony Roosevelt tucked his two hands in his suit Pocket and spoke, "and why will you do that?""She did some hurtful things in the past. I can never forgive her," Natasha said. "I can't just start pounding her without a reason. That woman is a heartless murderer."Anthony sighed. "This must be a personal issue to Dmitry, I do not think I should intervene." He said thoughtfully. After a few seconds, he added, "I'll see what I can do."Then he turned, about to walk away, Natasha quickly spoke, "you once asked if I'd like to be your friend, is the offer still available?"Natasha had thought th
Natasha Kicked her heavily in the tummy, Ruby yelled in pain. She he was forced to arch her back as a result of how intense the pain was in her tummy. The more Natasha remembered how Naomi was tortured, the more her anger fuels. She kneed her on the face and threw a heavy blow to her nose. Ruby, with a face full of blood, fell to the floor, screaming in pain. Unknown to Natasha, Dmitry was already standing by his car and watching how Natasha was beating Ruby. With a clenched fist, he walked towards the scene and shouted in rage, "Natasha!" Natasha, who had already squatted above Ruby and was hitting her repeatedly on the face, paused and turned, seeing Dmitry, her anger subsided slowly. This time, Ruby was barely breathing. Natasha stood from Ruby, panting heavily. Dmitry placed a call across to the ambulance and in a few minutes, they came around and took Ruby away. All these while, Dmitry had not said a word but one could tell that he was very angry."Have you gone insane?" Dm
Rose and Marcus spend the rest of the hour with Natasha. Natasha played monopoly with the kids as well as chess, they laughed and joked in the process. At the end of the hour, one could tell that the relationship between Natasha and the kids had softened. Natasha was able to drop the kids two houses before theirs so that she won't be seen but she waited until the kids went towards the house. "Where have you guys been?" Natasha, who was yet to start the ignition of the car heard a loud female voice. She swiftly stepped down from the parked car and walked swiftly to see what was going on. She was surprised to see Ruby standing before the two kids. "I asked where you guys went to? At this time of the night, huh? This is 10:15PM." Rose looked at Marcus not knowing what to say, "you do not have to shout at us." Marcus said, looking at her. "The fuck! Since when did you grow balls to talk to me this way?" Ruby asked angrily. "Watch the words you are saying, my little sister is here,"
Zara almost buried herself alive, she was covered in shame that she didn't know whether to cry or die. She looked at Huxley as if expecting him to defend her but Huxley was quiet. Zara set her gaze back on Natasha."Natasha, you sure know how to lie through your teeth," she said. "I legally married your father after your mother's unfortunate death." "Is that true?" Natasha asked rhetorically. "How then is it possible that your daughter who is as old as I am turns out to be for my father?" Natasha asked. Zara's mouth shivered in fear. She looked around the numerous cameras that was set on her. She can't deny publicly that Ruby isn't Lewis Ivan's biological daughter. If she denies it, then she must return all of Lewis's Ivan's properties. Yet, her image will be forever damaged, she will be tagged as an adulterer if she did not deny what Natasha said about her committing adultery with her father. Zara suddenly broke down into tears, "Natasha, despite how hard I had worked to give you
Natasha turned back in shock. She was stunned to see the person she least expected. Thought he was still in prison? Huxley stood gallantly, dressed in a deep black navy suit. He looked glamorous and a little fleshy than he was five years ago. Also, he had more beards than five years ago. Wow! Natasha was stunned at the new Huxley. "Out of prison already?" Huxley smirked. Before he could say a word, Zara appeared and held Huxley by the hand, she leaned on him and said, "hubby, you are buying it for me, right?" Hubby? What's going on here? Zara is almost twice older than Huxley. While Huxley is in his early thirties, Zara is fifty plus but with the way Zara is leaning on him, it seems they are in some sort of weird relationship. Huxley looked at Zara and smiled sweetly, "anything for you, my woman." He even kissed her on the lips.Although Zara looked smart and younger, in fact , one would think Zara is in her thirties too. That may be a result of plastic surgery. And of course, she
Dmitry watched as she got inside her car and drove away. Truth was, from the first day he sighted her, he had been wondering why she had the same resemblance with Rose. Ruby on the other end had no resemblance with any of her kids. Could it be that he was deceived? Although he already has a DNA test at home that proves that Ruby is the mother of his kids but now that he's beginning to think about it, what if it was forged?Dmitry sighed. He set his gaze on the grave yards of Valentina and Tatiana and his hurts deeply again. The only family he has now is his grandfather and ...his new best friend. Five years ago, he had found himself drowning inside the sea. He didn't know how he got there nor did he remember anything about himself. About to drown to death, he saw someone swim towards him and then helped him to the brink of the sea. He sat weakly on the sea sand and gaped at the horrible injuries in his body. There were all sorts of deep scars and he didn't even know how he had sust
"If there's no cure, then you are useless to me," Dmitry said. Natasha observed him for some seconds and said lowly, "you've changed, Dmitry." Dmitry brought out his phone and placed a call across to Yuri who answered immediately, "send two men to my location." "What if I'm innocent?" Natasha asked with a sullen look. Dmitry ignored her and walked a few meters away from her, he was now leaning on his car but he kept his eyes on her. Natasha walked closer to him and said, "I can work on helping you recover your memory." "How can I trust you?" Dmitry questioned. "Cause I've once helped someone in the west recover their memory, I believe I can do the same for you," Natasha said. She didn't want to get into an unnecessary conflict with him for she had her own men too. Since Dmitry had called Yuri to send two men over, she could just call Gen to send ten men over but what's the point of engaging in a bloody battle? What if she gets hurt in the process? "But you said a few seconds a
