"Thank you so much for coming through for me," Natasha said as she went to stand before him. But she was a few distance away. She didn't believe that a busy man like Dmitry would abandon what he was doing and come through for her. The highest he thought he would do was to send men over, that is if he will but he came himself. "My grandfather's protection over you is no longer valid since he's no longer in the city," Dmitry said and sat. Natasha also have her seat. Dmitry looked around the average looking poor living room. Truth was, he felt uncomfortable sitting here but he had to. "This dingy looking living room is ..." He shook his head as if feeling pathetic for Natasha. "I know it's not up your standard but I'm not a billionaire like you are. Also, everywhere is looking this way cause I was not particularly expecting a visitor," Natasha says, feeling slightly ashamed. But she's only living below her source of income. She can't blame herself. Dmitry took another glance at the o
Natasha resumed work at Woza group of companies the following morning. Her usually stressed face was cool, she looked brighter than she used to appear whenever she comes to work. She wondered if it was because of her encounter with Dmitry yesterday or probably because she's getting used to modern medical medicine. As a professional lawyer, adjusting to the modern medical environment was difficult but she's getting very used to everything now. She met Pavel on her way to her desk and she greeted, "Hi Pavel." "Hi Natasha, we have a new senior staff, hope you get along." Pavel said, he was holding a large file in the hand. "I've always kept my cool. I shouldn't have problem with her," she said. Pavel nodded, "It's just that I've heard some rumors about her from where she was transferred from. Anyways, it's just a heads up." Pavel's lips curved up slightly and then he began to walk away. Natasha had spent one week here and she had neither made friends nor enemies. She just does what
Natasha became a little fearful, she has half a million dollars in her account alongside a few savings but can that protect her? Should she employ the service of a bodyguard? Her thought process became very troubled. Nonetheless, she carried her handbag and walked out of the building. About twenty minutes later, she arrived from the taxi that took her from the company to Titiana's house. She was soon out of the car, while approaching the house, she sighted a masculine figure seated at the balcony, he was backing her and seemed to be drinking. This person didn't look like other security guards that were guarding the place. Natasha approached the person and when she got before the person, she realized it was Dmitry. He had a bottle of wine before him alongside a glass cup. Also, his iPad was placed carefully at the table. It seemed as if he was reading and also doing something on his iPad. "Hey." Dmitry looked up and on seeing her, he spoke, "I thought you are here to treat my litt
Dmitry immediately called Kenji and once he answered, he asked, "any update?" "We are still on it, sir." Kenji says. They were both referring to Titiana's disappearance. "Natasha is missing as well, I need you to find her. Her father is the person I suspect." "Got it, sir." Kenji answered. Kenji didn't follow Mr. Pushkin for vacation, he had stayed back to help Dmitry run the affairs of the underworld. Three days later, Pavel stepped out of the police station alongside his lawyer. After exchanging formalities, the lawyer led him to his car and then went away. Pavel got inside his car and then placed a call across to Yuri, for he didn't have Dmitry's contact. Once Yuri answered, He asked, "has Natasha been found?" "Not yet." "You mean Dmitry had not been successful in finding Natasha's whereabouts. It's been three days literally." Pavel said loudly on the phone. Yuri was quiet for a while then spoke, "Don't you ever speak to me in that manner anymore." Then the call came to an e
It's now been four days since Natasha had been in Huxley's custody. Titiana and Pavel were also with her. Pavel was still trying to recover from the extreme beating that was inflicted on him yesterday by Huxley. He had never imagined himself being beaten in that manner. His back had been severely bruised and was covered in welts. Throughout the time Pavel was being beaten, Natasha could only sob hard. Titiana didn't cry but her already broken heart shattered even more. "Pavel, I'm so sorry," Natasha says. "I just want us to be..." He winced and continued, "to be out of here as soon as possible." And then, sounds of chaos suddenly erupted. Gunshots could be heard here and there. "It will be okay, it will be okay," Pavel said to the two women with him, for they were already shivering in fear. Then a man suddenly rolled towards them, this man was covered in blood and once it was no longer moving, Natasha gasped at the sight before her. The man was dead but his left eye looked like
"Natasha, we have lost everything, all because of your seductive spirit. Just so you know, Ruby is still married to Mr. Dmitry," Lewis said. Natasha sat upright and spoke, "why are you people here? I'm sure you guys aren't here to check up on me." Lewis threw a hot slap across her face, "if you say one more word, I'll smash your head." Natasha held her cheek in shock, she stood in anger, "I won't have you come here to slap me." Natasha almost pushed the man away. Lewis was about to slap her again when Zara quickly held his hand, "honey, please don't hurt her anymore. She has already gone through a lot from the hands of her kidnappers." "Leave my ward!" Natasha commanded loudly. "Big sister, don't be rude to father. We came here cause we care for you," Ruby says. The door opened and everyone turned to see who had walked in, seeing Dmitry, Zara, Ruby and Lewis trembled. Thought Dmitry had gone? Natasha could not help but wonder why he had come back. Then he suddenly saw someone
On answering the call, Dmitry's voice came through, "what did you do to Titiana?" Natasha was a little confused. She sat upright and asked, "she was fine as at the time I left. Is anything the matter?" "Come to her lodge right away." He commanded. Natasha huffed. She quickly called upon the nanny, "I need to leave now.""But you've just come around. You need to breastfeed the kids." Naomi responded. "I'll do that once I'm back," Natasha said and immediately walked out. Took a while before she got a cab that took her to Titiana's lodge. On getting there, she saw Dmitry standing gallantly in front of the house. "Is she fine?" Natasha asked, panting. She had been assuming all sorts of worse things that could have happened to Titiana while on her way here. "She's been diagnosed with Lung Cancer," Dmitry uttered with a low voice. Natasha's heart sunk into her belly. "Oh my days! Is she inside?" Took a while before Dmitry responded, "She's at the hospital.""It's not my fault. That'
Yuri immediately appeared. "Sir, it's unsafe here . We must leave." For he had just shot someone that was making an attempt on Dmitry's life. Natasha was so scared that she remained in Dmitry's arms for another few seconds. When she noticed that everything seemed a little calm, she withdrew slowly, "I'm so sorry." Dmitry used to feel an extreme rage when someone of the opposite sex touches him, even if it's by mistake. It's the type of rage that will make him feel like murdering the person. However, Dmitry didn't feel that way at all with Natasha, not only touching him but practically hugging him. He didn't feel like puking and he felt no rage. It was weird and uncommon. She looked into her eyes and when he was about to speak, Pavel appeared. "Natasha, there has been a little chaos, you must come with me," Pavel said as he approached Natasha. At Dmitry's signal, Yuri blocked Pavel from getting to where Natasha is. "She's coming with me," Dmitry said and held her by the arms then
"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
